Chapter 964: Underground Adventure

From the sky, the huge lake area a thousand kilometers to the east of Lingxiao City is very conspicuous. The area of ​​the lake area is about more than 3,000 square kilometers. The lake is surrounded by lush forests. Under the sun, the outline of the entire lake looks like a The leaves scattered on the ground are filled with emerald green lake water. A thin circle of mist surrounds the lake. The mist locks the lake and the surrounding forest together, making the calm lake surface look more peaceful...

"This place has water, mountains, trees, and countless giant trees. It would be good to set up a water and sky three-wood array here..." Xia Pingan, who transformed into a crane, looked at the terrain here and couldn't help but think in the air.

At this moment, several days have passed since the army of Lingxiao City won a complete victory and annihilated the troops of the Kingdom of Gru. The troops led by Han Xin and Xue Rengui are about to return to Lingxiao City. They are only a few hundred kilometers away from the city defense formation outside Lingxiao City, and Xia Ping'an goes first. In one step, he transformed into a crane and flew here, preparing to take back the tree people gathered here.

The base of these tree people is too close to Lingxiao City. For the safety and future development of Lingxiao City, if the tree people here cannot be conquered, they can only be eliminated.

These tree men should have been dealt with when Xia Ping'an conquered the flying scorpions, but there was not enough time at that time, so it was postponed until now. The current Lingxiao City, after this great victory, will not encounter external forces again in a short time. The threat from the Kingdom of God is just the right amount of peace of mind to solve the problems of these tree people.

Xia Pingan had seen the appearance of those tree people on the battlefield a few days ago. To be honest, if those tree people were not suppressed by the templar warriors, those tree people would be no less than an opponent of giants on the battlefield. , has a natural advantage in siege or defense.

The troops of Gru Kingdom did not make good use of the advantages of tree people. In Xia Pingan's view, those tree people are not suitable for long-distance expeditions. The combat environment of tree people should be in the big forest, with other arms and With the cooperation of the troops, the abilities of the tree people can be brought into full play in the forest. It would be a waste to take the tree people out alone.

Under the eyes of Heaven, the forest around the lake gradually changed its appearance in Xia Pingan's eyes. Some of the big green trees that glowed gradually became clear in Xia Pingan's eyes. Those big green trees were partly scattered all over the forest around the lake, hidden in the forest. Among them, there is one every ten kilometers, and in the depths of the mountains more than a hundred kilometers northeast of the lake, there are towering giant trees, where a large amount of green light gathers. That should be the nest of the tree people here. Xia Ping'an took a look in the air and saw that there were almost more than 400 tree people gathered there.

Underground in those tree-man gathering areas, the boundary symbol of a dark gray tree-man lair was clearly visible.

A moment later, Xia Pingan landed in the center of the tree man's lair and turned into a human form.

The place where Xia Ping'an landed was deep in the forest. Around here, there were big trees tens of meters high. The sound of insects and birds filled the surroundings. At first glance, it was really hard to tell who among these big trees was the tree. people.

Xia Pingan was too lazy to pay attention to this. He walked to the place where the boundary talisman of the tree man's lair was hidden, stamped his foot, and activated the digging technique. There was a bang on the ground, and a large hole more than ten meters deep appeared in Xia Ping'an. Peace before your eyes.

After digging out the soil above the big hole, there are densely intertwined tree roots underneath. Those tree roots are like barbed wire and prison cages, densely intertwined and protecting the hole below. There is also a dark hole under the tree roots. The boundary talisman leading to the underground and the tree man's lair is hidden deep in the ground.

Xia Pingan's move obviously alerted the tree people who were still quietly observing him. When he flew over just now, the tree people had already noticed him, but they didn't move. The tree people seemed to know that this kind of person could fly over. It's not easy to mess with. They put wooden stakes there one by one. Now, they can't hold them anymore.

The next second, the ground under Xia Pingan's feet undulated like waves, as if the entire forest was breathing. Inside the large hole he dug, there were huge tree roots, like pythons and earthworms. came out and sealed the hole tightly again.

"Intruder, this is our home. You are not welcome. Please leave..." A voice that sounded like it was coming from a huge oak barrel buzzed in Xia Pingan's ears, more than 100 meters away from Xia Pingan. The skinny bark of a big tree outside moved, and two emerald-green eyes suddenly opened. With the appearance of these two eyes, the big tree came to life, and the surrounding soil surged, The huge tree trunk, branches and roots turned into arms and two feet. The big tree, as well as the seven or eight big trees around it, walked directly towards Xia Ping'an step by step.

On the periphery, more and more big trees were shaking, and the entire forest floor seemed to be undulating and breathing. This gave people the feeling that the entire forest was coming to life.

Xia Pingan calmly looked at the big trees that were walking towards him and were more than ten times taller than him, and just said coldly, "I only give you two ways, surrender, or destroy!"

"Arrogant intruder, we are the masters of this forest. You are making an enemy of the entire forest. We will not give in!" The big tree that just spoke seemed to be angered. A huge strip stretched out from his trunk. The huge root system was waving in the air like a giant whip. The root system hit the ground. With a loud roar, a deep ravine more than thirty meters long was drawn out on the ground with great power.

To deal with this kind of tree people, the best spell is of course the fire method, such as summoning the Suzaku. Xia Ping'an is not sure whether the breath of the Six-Winged Peng King is useful for these tree people. He just wants to give it a try. , releasing a trace of the Six-Winged Peng King's aura towards the furious tree men.

Then, the next second, the trembling ground in the forest stopped. The furious tree people stopped and were frozen in place, their bodies shaking non-stop.

It works!

Xia Ping'an felt happy. He once again turned his attention to the big hole under his feet. Just as his heart moved, the densely packed tree roots in the big hole under his feet suddenly gave way, revealing the entrance of the hole.

Xia Pingan jumped directly into the cave at his feet.

The cave, hundreds of meters deep underground, is like a huge underground maze. The walls around the cave are no longer soil, but intertwined tree roots. Those tree roots are layered on top of each other, like intertwined paths. The wall is guarding the boundary talisman of the tree people deep underground, and with the arrival of Xia Pingan, the walls composed of tree roots are like gates, constantly opening, revealing the path inside, allowing people to Xia Ping'an drove straight in.

As he walked, Xia Pingan suddenly frowned, because he discovered that the wall obstacles arranged by the underground tree roots were not random and chaotic, but were arranged according to the direction of the Five Elements Tracing Array, dividing the underground walls. The three natures of earth, wood, and water have been brought into play to the extreme. The wood energy of the entire forest, that is, the energy of the blue dragon, has been drawn over and used for this formation. If another summoner comes down and wants to enter the underground core here and touch these Tree people's boundary talisman is not an easy task.

"It's strange, can these tree people also know the formation?" Xia Pingan said to himself, but this idea only flashed in Xia Pingan's head and was rejected by him. These tree people are also a clan of heaven and earth spiritual beings. Maybe they can He was born with the ability to master certain wood-type formations, but this underground formation, and the azure dragon energy extracted from his eyes, were by no means the means of tree people, but the methods of the formation master.

Are there other summoners hidden underground?

Xia Pingan kept walking, but his whole body suddenly cheered up.

Finally, when Xia Pingan came to the core area of ​​​​the formation, he saw the treant's boundary talisman hidden here, and the summoner. To be precise, it was the remains of a summoner, a pale golden body. The skeleton is the soul body of the summoner who fell in the Kingdom of God. The death of this soul body actually also means the fall and death of the summoner. There is no difference between the two.

The pale golden skeleton sat cross-legged on a throne that was entangled with petrified tree roots underground. It was unknown how many years it had been dead here, and the clothes on its body had completely decayed. Only the pale golden skeleton showed that he was The cultivation and realm of a demigod during his lifetime.

Xia Pingan carefully approached the skeleton and found that the bones in the head and chest of the skeleton were in a broken state. At the heart position of the skeleton's chest, there was a small black arrow. The small arrow only had the shape of a human palm. It was so long, shot from the back of the skeleton, directly hit the heart, and then stayed in the summoner's body.

In the right hand of this skeleton, there is still a incomplete bronze array plate, and on his throne, there is a world bead covered with dust.

After practicing for countless years and going through all kinds of hardships to come to this world, he did not expect that the final outcome would be his death, possibly because of someone plotting against him. Looking at this skeleton, Xia Pingan also sighed secretly in his heart.

These tree men are probably the summoned objects of this summoner before.

"Senior, don't blame me. I didn't mean to disturb you today. It's just that this place is too close to my mandala. There is a group of tree people here, so I have to come and investigate!" Xia Pingan said to the skeleton. As he did so, his Peng King aura was already wrapped in divine power, intruding into the tree man's lair boundary talisman, trying to fuse with it.

Fusing the boundary talisman of this tree man's lair is as easy as fusing the boundary talisman of the flying scorpion's lair. In just a blink of an eye, the original gray boundary talisman of the tree man's lair turned green, and all the tree people became green. It became Xia Ping'an's summon.

After reintegrating the boundary talisman of the tree man's lair, the last breath left by the skeleton in the world of God seemed to be annihilated. Then, under Xia Pingan's eyes, the skeleton turned into dust bit by bit and dissipated. In front of Xia Pingan.

All dust returns to dust, dust returns to dust!

In the end, only the small black arrow, the broken formation disk, and a boundary bead were left on the tree root throne where the skeleton had been sitting cross-legged.

Xia Pingan waved his hand, and the three things came into his hands at once. After using his divine power to wipe away the dust on the boundary beads, a rule and a square light and shadow were revealed in the boundary beads. Among the light and shadow, there were two A small golden seal script - Mozi!
