Volume 19, Chapter 156: Two Trees of Water and Fire

The monster opposite is obviously not a patient guy. As large tracts of sand were churning, a ball of white light suddenly lit up in the center of the entire sand area. Following that ball of light, a huge sheet covered with sharp edges was projected at the junction of the sand and sea water. A mouth with fangs.

When we saw that big mouth, we immediately felt nervous. Judging from the size of this guy, it is at least three times as long as Mira's body, and it is not difficult to tell from this mouth that this guy is definitely a carnivore.

"What should I do?" Mira asked nervously.

"Don't move yet, wait until that guy comes out. If it doesn't work, we can try to combine again. Even if we can't defeat it by concentrating our strength, there should be no problem in escaping."

Mira nodded and stood with me, waiting for the monster to appear. The other party didn't let us wait any longer. Less than two seconds after we finished speaking, the sand on the opposite side suddenly bulged outwards, and then the bulging sand was pushed to both sides by a huge object. A huge and ferocious mouth appeared, and as the mouth continued to extend forward, the face, forehead and a pair of huge horns behind it also emerged from the sand.

"Damn it, it's an evil dragon!" Xiao Longnu's voice suddenly sounded through the spiritual contact.

"Do you know this thing?"

Xiao Longnu reminded in a panic: "There is no time to explain now, master, run away, this thing is difficult to deal with!"

"So strong that we are no match together?"

"Of course we can beat him together, but this is the bottom of the sea, and no one can get out!" Seeing the huge figure in front of him gradually speeding up and rushing out, Xiao Longnu's tone gradually became anxious.

After hearing Xiao Longnu's reminder, I looked at the crystal ball in front of me that showed me the direction. In the end, I turned around and ran away without listening to Xiao Longnu's words. No matter what, Mother Earth's mission has to be done. Even if I run away now, can I not come back later? So if you can't live in peace with this thing called the evil dragon, then you can only fight him desperately. Anyway, the cooldown time for the Divine Realm and Body Skills has expired, so the worst thing is to have to harmonize the body again. I don’t believe that this guy’s head is stronger than the Temple Mount. If I can flatten the Temple Mount, I can also chop off this guy’s head. Of course, that is the final guarantee in case of emergency. It is best not to fight if you can.

"You all stop talking and let me communicate with this guy. If it doesn't work, we will fight him with our body."

"Then you decide for yourself. If it doesn't work, just call us." Xiao Longnu said helplessly that she would let me arrange it.

Just after we finished talking, the evil dragon on the opposite side had completely swam out of the mud. After seeing the overall shape of the creature in front of me, I finally understood why this thing is called an evil dragon. First of all, if I am not mistaken, this guy should be some kind of branch of the Shenlong family, or maybe there is some blood relationship. Anyway, this guy has a very similar body shape to the little dragon girl.

The head shape of the evil dragon is basically similar to the head shape of the ordinary dragon, but the overall shape is more slender, closer to the head shape of the Western dragon, and this guy's teeth are obviously much scarier than the teeth of the dragon, and the mouth is sharp Its fangs are like two rows of scythes, and they look oozing. Besides, the horns on this guy's head don't look like dragon horns. Dragon horns are actually deer antlers with rounded tips and no sharp edges. However, this guy's horns are as long as those of a triceratops. Not only do they have two sharp horns arranged one behind the other like rhinoceros horns on the tip of their nose. , the two horns on the head also grow diagonally upward at a certain angle. They look like two antennas. The sharp tips are definitely not the shape that a dragon horn should have.

Except for the head, this guy's body is no different from an ordinary dragon. There are relatively thin limbs under the super long body, but they are only relatively thin, and their actual strength is definitely not low. However, in addition to the scales and four eagle claws that a divine dragon should have, this guy also has a series of spike-like dorsal fins on his back. This thing does not look like something from a divine dragon. Also, this guy's tail seems to be larger than the real dragon's tail. It seems to be more adapted to the water environment, and it can swim flexibly and quickly in the water with this big tail.

After I saw the overall shape of this evil dragon, the other party was already in front of me. However, what reassures me a little is that although this guy looks rather ferocious, his character is not very savage. At least this guy didn't attack as soon as he came up, but circled around Mira and me. However, because this guy is already over a thousand meters long, so when he circles us like this, it feels like he is surrounding us.

"Hello, can you understand me?" Because the other party may have something to do with Shenlong, so I directly started to communicate in Chinese tentatively. After all, Shenlong is only available in China, so if the other party is really related to Shenlong, If they are related to the Shenlong clan, they should be able to understand Chinese.

"Who are you?" Beyond my expectation, it, or she, turned out to be a female. What's more, what surprised me even more was that the body in front of me was more than five hundred meters long, and its head alone was already longer than The entire blue whale is several times bigger. The super monster looks like it can scare even timid adults to tears. It actually has a sweet and cooing voice like a sweet girl. To be honest, I wasn't as surprised as I am now when I saw this guy emerging from the pile of mud. Based on this guy's appearance, if she used a broken gong-like voice to make an unpleasant sound like rubbing sandpaper, I might be more accepting of it.

"Are you a woman?"

"Nonsense, even if you can't tell by my appearance, can't you tell by my voice?"

"I'm sorry, I was mainly surprised, so I couldn't hold it back. Well... could you please stop hovering around us? I'm a little dizzy."

When the other party heard my words, he immediately stopped, then turned his head to face me and said, "You haven't answered my previous question yet? Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, that's it. My name is Ziri, and I am the president of a certain guild on the ground, but this has nothing to do with you. I came here this time because someone asked me to help her with something. I happened to be passing by here. I just discovered that there are a lot of sunken ships here, and there are a lot of gems scattered on the ground, so I want to pick up the gems. Did you collect those gems and coins on purpose? If so, I Just tell my people not to pick it up, otherwise I will take it all away."

"You can take away all the gems and coins. Those things are of no use to me, but you are not allowed to touch my ship."

"No problem, I promise not to move your ship. My people will collect the things later and we will leave here immediately."

Not only did the other party not appear happy after hearing my words, but he asked me in surprise: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

To be honest, I was very happy that the other party didn't start a fight with me. I didn't expect that she was actually a hospitable host. Generally speaking, shouldn't the boss who lives in such a place dislike being noisy and hate others entering his territory? Could it be that the evil dragon with the cooing voice in front of him is a different kind?

"What? We were just passing by. I was afraid that you would think we were disturbing you, so I planned to leave quickly. What? Do you mind if we stay here?"

"Why should I mind?"

The other person left me speechless with just one sentence. Why should you mind? How to answer this question? This question is the same as why one plus one equals two. Call it simple, even kindergarten children and trained puppies can do it; call it difficult, all the people in the world who can prove this equation cannot fit into a bus. Would you say this kind of problem is difficult or easy?

"This...that...it seems I made a mistake. Since you don't mind, let's pretend slowly and don't leave in a hurry."

The other party seemed quite satisfied with my answer, so he said proudly: "Anyway, your people are still collecting gems and coins. You happen to be free now. Can I take you to visit our collection?"

Although I really wanted to say that I didn't want to see the shipwreck museum, I swallowed my words after the other person gave me a "gentle" grin. After all, those two rows of silver gleaming fangs were so convincing. "Okay, I just wanted to take a look."

When I said I wanted to see it, the other party immediately told me excitedly about the origins of these ships. It was really hard for her to remember how each of these ships sank. But I broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, because many of these ships were clearly sunk by her directly, and according to her, she just seemed to think it was more fun. Her behavior was like filling an ant nest with water and holding a stick. Just like a child poking at a caterpillar, it is really "innocent"!

"What..." After listening to the other party introducing the origins of many ships, I couldn't help but say, "Don't you think it's bad to sink other people's ships?"

"Isn't this good?" the other party asked with a surprised look.

For a child with such a super innocent character like her, I absolutely cannot use ambiguous words to communicate with her, so I said with absolute certainty: "Yes, it's very bad. This will threaten the lives of people on the ship." When you sank these ships, a lot of people must have died on them.”

"Really? But why didn't they tell me?"

Please, with your size, the boat will be destroyed if you step off it with your claws. Who will have time to resist? But now I can finally understand that this evil dragon is just like a child and basically doesn’t understand anything. In her worldview, there is no distinction between good and evil, there are only two situations: fun and not fun.

"Well, they didn't tell you because you moved too fast and they didn't have time to react."

"No? Every time before I sink a boat, I come out of the water and shout to the guy on the boat."

"Then what?"

"Then the people on the boat started beating me together. I was hurt by the beating, so I got angry and sank their boat."

"I..." After thinking about it, I decided not to explain to her. With this girl's IQ, I guess I won't understand once she understands. "Well, we've almost seen the boat, so why don't we go back. My people should have collected everything by now, and I still have to do some errands."

"Oh, that's it! Let's go back then." Nielong looked very sad and took me back to the location where we met before. Then I asked the ghost bug to stuff all the collected gems and metal coins into Fenglong. space. After loading the things, we quickly took back the ghost bug and took Mira away quickly, while the evil dragon sent us all the way out of her territory before willing to go back. Apart from his unreliable character, this evil dragon is pretty good, at least it didn't cause any trouble for us.

Passing through the territory of the evil dragon, we soon encountered another deep-sea giant shrimp. This thing doesn't look like a shrimp, but looks a bit like a centipede, just shorter and thicker. Moreover, this monster is also quite large and looks like a moving hill. But we were relatively lucky, because although this thing looked very difficult to deal with, its swimming speed was very slow. At the speed of Mira and I, we simply moved a little away and went around easily. The guy tried to pursue him at first, but soon found that he couldn't catch up fast enough, so he gave up.

After passing the territory of the prawn, there was an extremely desolate area in front of it. The ground was full of honeycomb-shaped stones full of pores, and large bubbles of bubbles would occasionally spray upward from those pores. This typical volcanic landform indicates that there should be lava under the ground, and the gases that occasionally erupt are actually toxic high-temperature gases. Even if you are not afraid of poison, you will definitely be cooked immediately if you are sprayed, so it is not surprising that there are no monsters here.

After crossing the desolate undersea volcanic active area over there, we soon entered a large open terrain, and then a beautiful giant tree that was aqua blue and crystal-like appeared in front of us.

The Water Tree is not made of water. Its body is a blue crystal, and it also emits light. In this dark deep sea, the big tree exuding crystal blue light looks full of dreaminess. If it weren't for the fact that this thing couldn't be transplanted, I would even want to plant one in Essinger's harbor.

After I took out the World Tree sapling, the Water Tree immediately understood what I was going to do. After completing the handover, the Water Tree gave me a drop of water essence and a crystal leaf.

The essence of water is a kind of liquid that can be taken, and it will take effect after being eaten. Its function is very simple, which is to greatly improve a person's water attribute affinity. This kind of thing is a priceless treasure to those who need it, but it is like poison to me, so I can only take it back and give it away or sell it. Anyway, I can't drink it myself.

The ability of the Crystal Leaf is similar to that of the Essence of Water. The difference is that this leaf is equipment, not medicine. In the end, I gave this leaf to Xiao Longnu. She happened to be able to equip it, and among my magic pets, she and A Di Na were the only ones with water-based abilities. However, A Di Na couldn't use this thing, so I could only use Xiao Long Nu. Women use it.

After saying goodbye to the Water Tree, we still have three goals left. The Tree of Fire, the Tree of Souls, and the Tree of Nature. I don’t know the locations of the Tree of Flame and the Tree of Soul, but the Tree of Nature is in South America, and everyone around the world knows this. However, considering that we are still separated by a third of the world from South America, I decided to find the other two trees first.

I activated the tracking crystal ball of the Tree of Fire directly under the water. The crystal ball immediately started to rise straight from the bottom of the sea towards the sea surface. When I saw this posture, I quickly summoned Black Flame and let Mira go back to rest. Then Black Flame took me Go straight up all the way.

If it were in reality, it would take at least dozens of hours to slowly adjust in the decompression chamber from the bottom of the sea to the surface. Otherwise, the blood in the human body would release a large amount of gas like boiling water and burst the blood vessels and Offal. But that's the reality. In the game, only air diving without armor requires decompression. If you have armor, you don't need to go through this process, so I almost let the black flame carry me like a missile without stopping. Rushing straight up from the bottom of the sea, the speed is much faster than when diving down. In fact, many people think that going down is easier than going up, but in water this law should be reversed. As long as you have enough buoyancy, floating in the water is often much faster than diving.

It took us more than two hours to go down from the edge of the trench to the bottom, but it only took us less than an hour to float up. This was partly due to the faster floating speed, but mostly because we didn't touch it. to the monster. I don’t know the reason, but we hardly saw a single monster during our ascent. The entire trench no longer had the same piles of monsters as before. Not to mention monsters, not even a single fish or shrimp was seen along the way. However, without those monsters causing trouble, we could surface quickly, so I didn't pursue where the monsters went. Their absence makes it easier for me to go on my way. If I find them again, wouldn't I be miserable myself?

The guide crystal ball of the Tree of Fire took me all the way out of the sea. After I found a direction, I flew straight forward. When I reached the sky, I no longer had to endure the slow speed of the water. I directly summoned the flying bird and turned on the afterburner and flew all the way. In less than half an hour we saw land, and then we flew further and further.

"Holy crap, why did you fly to Japan?" I didn't notice how high it was at first, but as I thought about the crystal ball and gradually lowered the altitude, I began to notice something was wrong. Although I don’t remember the topography below, the snow-capped mountain in front looks like Mount Fuji.

The guide Crystal ignored my complaints at all, flew all the way to the top of Mount Fuji, and then plunged into the crater of the volcano. There is nothing I can do, the crystal ball has gone down, and I can’t help but follow. I collected the flying bird to summon Everit, and then used Everit's special ability to break it down into a bunch of parts and wrap me in them to form a set of oversized armor. In this way, with Everett, the king of fire elves, blocking the outside, there is no need to worry even if he sleeps in the lava.

After penetrating into the lava, the crystal ball began to go all the way down. Although I couldn't see the crystal ball, I could feel it running down all the time. I had no choice but to let Everett lead me down. With Everett absorbing heat energy, I don't feel too hot inside. Otherwise, even if I were protected by the dragon armor, it would not kill me. It would definitely be no problem to steam me half-cooked.

After the crystal ball drilled down for seven or eight hundred meters, it suddenly turned sideways. I quickly followed, but unexpectedly, a wall of air suddenly appeared in front of me. When we passed through the gas wall, we discovered that the lava was blocked from the gas wall. It was actually the same gas environment as on the ground. However, I can't take Everett back for the time being. After all, this place is Near the lava layer, even if there is a wall of air, the surrounding temperature will never drop below a thousand degrees. If there is no protection here, normal people will be roasted to death in an instant.

Even though I don't have to worry about the effects of high temperatures while wearing Everite's shell, which looks like a powered armor, walking becomes very troublesome. It's not that Everite's actions are incompatible with mine, but because of Everite's size. too big.

The normal height of Everett is about 2.2 meters, which is slightly higher than the height of a normal person. However, after using the armor mode, because he wanted to completely cover my body, many parts in the body had to move. Therefore, when Everett was completely wrapped around my body, we looked at it from the outside. When you stand up, you will imagine a giant wearing heavy armor. Although the height of nearly three meters cannot be said to be exaggerated, it is quite annoying in this narrow passage.

When "Oops...!" I accidentally hit the top of the passage again. Although I couldn't feel the pain at all through the two layers of armor, it shocked me. In fact, the height of the cave roof is not the main problem. The worst thing is bending down. The real trouble is the walls on either side. I don’t know whether this passage is natural or artificial. The width before and after is completely unstable. In some places, the width can reach two meters, but in other places, it is only half a meter wide. The usually half-meter-wide passage would not be narrow, but now after putting on the large armor of Everett, I have to turn sideways to squeeze through that narrow position. In some places, you even had to knock down a little of the wall before you could get through, which made me stop and go along the way, not to mention how strenuous it was.

After finally reaching the end of the passage, a huge underground cave suddenly appeared in front of it. However, this cave only had a platform around two meters wide close to the wall where people could stand. In the center of the cave was a large lava lake. , its area has exceeded the total area of ​​a large stadium. Basically, normal people standing on this side of the lake cannot see the other side. Of course, I had full vision, and I did find something.

I just casually found two targets worth paying attention to. One is a small island in the center of the lake. On this island in the center of the lake, which is less than 100 square meters, there is a huge fiery red tree growing. The entire tree from the trunk to the leaves is all fiery red. Compared with its fiery redness, it feels like The color of the lava is no longer so bright. If the guide crystal found the right target, that tree should be the tree of fire.

In addition to the fire tree, I also found a target, just on the opposite side of the lake. It was a group of players, there seemed to be at least a dozen of them, all with high levels and good equipment, and the race was very complex. There were white people, black people, and of course more yellow people. After all, this was Japanese territory.

Although I found the other party, the group of people obviously did not find me. The huge lake surface makes the distance between the two sides exceed the range of normal people's vision. Moreover, the red light emitted by lava is actually not suitable for people's observation habits, so normal people's vision will be reduced here.

After entering the cave, the group of people first sighed at the giant tree on the island in the middle of the lake, and then they released a fiery red bird from the space equipment they carried with them. Although I don't know this kind of bird, I know from its characteristics that it should be a bird that is not afraid of fire. After all, although this place is much cooler than the passage just now, it is definitely not a place where ordinary creatures can stay casually. Especially for birds, their wings catch fire all too easily.

After the bird was released, the people first put the bird on their bodies, touched it and tasted it for a while, and then threw it upward in the direction of the big tree. The big red bird used the power of the upward throw to quickly spread its wings and fly towards the big tree in the center of the lake. Although its speed was not slow, it was not too big and the lake was not small. , so it looks like it is flying very slowly.

However, although the bird flew very slowly, it only flew for a few seconds before ending its flight, because just a few seconds after it left the shore, the originally calm lava suddenly exploded violently. Opening, a huge snake head suddenly jumped out from under the lava, swallowed the bird in one bite, and then bit Angami.

The crowd that was staring at the flying birds was startled by this sudden change. Then they found that the big snake actually pounced towards them and immediately began to run in a hurry to both sides. However, the speed of the big snake was too fast. Although Everyone was not slow to react, but in the end, two unlucky guys were bitten by the big snake and swallowed into its stomach.

After eating two people, the big snake moved its head back a little, and then immediately bit the crowd on one side again. But at this time, the crowd had already reacted, and all kinds of messy long-range attacks flew out one after another, but it seemed that the snake didn't like this at all. Those ice cones, fireballs, and light beams were all directed at it. It has no effect at all.

Although the crowd on the opposite side was in danger due to the big snake, I didn’t know them, so I had no intention of helping. Besides, with them attracting Orochi's attention, I could just take the opportunity to get close to the Fire Tree. I don't believe that I'm so lucky. I met two bosses in a row in one day, both of whom are the type who likes to reason. I was very satisfied that the evil dragon didn't fight me before. If this snake is polite to me again, it can only mean that someone is helping secretly, or that the snake is simply a subordinate of the Tree of Fire and can be controlled by it. .

Looking at the group of people opposite who were being fooled by the big snake, I just smiled, and then I jumped directly onto the lake wearing Everett. Just when we were about to touch the lava, Ivorite was behind me. Four jet openings suddenly opened behind the specially transformed large armor, and four fiery red flames spurted out, allowing us to stay on top of the lava with a gap of a few centimeters.

Not touching lava is not because I am afraid of heat, but to ensure speed. After all, lava is relatively viscous. Even if Everett is not afraid of heat, it is impossible to speed up in it.

Originally, I thought I could take advantage of the opportunity that the snake had attracted attention to land on the island. Who knew that I had just flown a few meters away when I suddenly saw a big bump suddenly rising from the lake in front of me? Bian rushed at high speed. Everett reacted quickly and flew away from the meeting. A huge snake head slipped under our feet half a meter away, and then hit the rock wall on the shore of the lake with a loud bang. ring.

The movement here immediately attracted the attention of the people on the opposite side, but the snake did not give up its attack on them, so although they knew that someone was moving towards the island in the middle of the lake, they only knew that, and they had no time to pay more attention. Nosy.

The big snake that attacked me was almost identical to the snake that attacked that group over there. The huge head is dark red, and there are orange-red stripes on the body. There seems to be flames jumping out of it, and it feels like a fire snake covered in fire.

Just after missing the hit, the snake immediately turned around and pounced towards me again. Looking at the huge snake head, which was as big as a heavy truck, I quickly controlled Everett to turn around and shoot towards the island in the middle of the lake.

The purpose of my coming here is to find the Fire Tree, not to fight these giant snakes. That the Fire Tree has been able to stand on the island in the middle of the lake without incident for so many years means that the snakes will not attack the Fire Tree at all, or simply cannot get close to it. No matter which one it is, as long as I fly to the tree, I will be safe. As long as I complete the mission, the snakes will definitely not be able to catch up with me if I try to run out at my speed.

However, although my idea was good, I forgot one thing. Since there is more than one leaping fire snake in this lake, why can't there be three or more?

I had just flown more than ten meters away when suddenly there was a surge of lava in front of me on the left. A huge snake head emerged from the water and then pounced towards me. *** Leveraging Everett, he quickly rolled to the right and narrowly avoided the snake's attack. However, he didn't expect that while we were still sliding sideways, the lake surface behind us suddenly fluctuated again. The fourth snake suddenly jumped out from under the lake and opened its big mouth and bit me.

"help!"

Ouch... The black flame that suddenly appeared bit the head of the fire snake behind me with its huge mouth that was twice larger than that of the fire snake. Then the two snakes became entangled, rolled and smashed into the magma.

The snake in front of me realized that its companion had missed and rushed forward again, but Mira immediately appeared on top of the snake's head in its true form, then bit the snake's neck and pulled back violently, and finally the snake The snake was also forcefully pulled away by Mira and fell into the lava on the side.

Both snakes were entangled. The snake that initially attacked me immediately chased me, but as soon as it ran halfway, the armor on my body suddenly disintegrated in the air and quickly assembled into the shape of Everett. As soon as the combination was completed, Everett immediately raised his right arm and pointed several rays at the snake. Several huge fireballs immediately rose on the snake's head. At the same time, the snake The snake screamed and fell back into the lava, while Everett regrouped and transformed in the air and plunged under the lava to continue the pursuit.

Without the protection of Everett, I felt the temperature around me rise immediately. However, with the protection of the Shenlong Suit, the temperature will only be hot, but not life-threatening.

"You hold them back first, and I'll finish the mission first." I told Mira and the others and flew towards the island in the middle of the lake. However, when I turned around, I suddenly found that the other side was supposed to be attacking the island. The snake in the crowd disappeared. Almost immediately I thought that the snake must be coming towards me. It ignored me before because he thought his companions could deal with me, but now his three companions were in trouble, and the threat from that group of people was obviously not as big as mine, so the snake decisively gave up and continued to attack the snake. The crowd's intention was to rush directly towards me.

However, even though I guessed that the guy was coming towards me, because the snake was under the lava, and now the entire lake was in chaos because of several snakes and my magic pet fighting below, so I There was no way to tell where the snake was based on its track. I had no choice but to pull up first. Staying away from the lake would at least buy me some reaction time.

I had just flown less than ten meters above the lake when the lake below suddenly exploded. As expected, the snake jumped out from directly below me and bit me straight away. However, at the moment when he was rushing upward with his mouth open, a large piece of feathers suddenly fell from my body. During the fall, these feathers automatically turned into huge candle bees and rushed towards the snake's mouth. Then a loud bang was heard, and the snake rushed upward. The moment was interrupted, and smoke billowed from the snake's mouth.

After watching the snake eat the bomb, I immediately turned around and continued flying towards the island in the middle of the lake. However, the snake was not simply killed by a few candle bees. It just paused for a moment and then rushed towards me. . However, just when it thought it could bite me this time, a crisp bird song suddenly came from the air. Xiaofeng's huge body spread out instantly, pinched the snake's head and body with two sharp claws, and then flapped it. The wings directly pulled the snake out of the magma.

Without the support of lava, the snake's strength immediately dropped a lot. Besides, even if its strength didn't drop, it was definitely no match for the Fire Phoenix. Xiaofeng easily carried the snake to the cave roof, then aimed his sharp beak at the middle of the snake's body and stabbed it hard, piercing the snake's heart in one go. The fire snake that was still struggling suddenly softened instantly.

Seeing that Xiaofeng had taken care of the last snake, I immediately turned around and flew towards the island. However, the moment I turned around, the lake surface suddenly spun and turned into a huge vortex.

"Damn, there isn't a big one down here, is there?"
