Chapter 217 Ancient Tree
Tao Yuanming's "The Peach Blossom Spring" records a wonderful environment that exists in the deep mountains and old forests, where people are isolated from the world, self-sufficient, and everyone enjoys themselves.
Now, Li Yelai also saw a peaceful and harmonious human village in the dangerous extreme cold mountains.
This made him unable to understand why there were living beings surviving in such a deadly environment as the Snowy Mountains?
Li Yelai did not approach rashly, but carefully observed the villagers in the fields in the jungle.
Obviously, they are all pure human beings, without any physical deformation, and they are not forbidden humans who have been corrupted by the order of the forbidden area.
As for the clothes on their bodies, some were wearing linen clothes, and occasionally some clothes with obvious industrial traces were seen. But those clothes seemed to have been worn for a long time and were quite worn.
This shocked Li Yelai even more. The pure human village in the Snowy Mountains once had an industrial level.
"Could these people be the descendants of the strongest humans in the past?" Li Yelai was shocked, but he thought of this possibility.
The Snowy Mountains are the last battlefield for the strongest human beings.
They were swallowed by the mist, and in the mist, they awakened their spiritual energy. And grew up in the long fighting, giving birth to extremely powerful humans, who powerfully besieged the mist master.
If you win, you can conquer the mist and return to the physical world with your compatriots.
But in the end, they lost and the Forbidden Zone was formed. All surviving humans were corrupted by the Forbidden Zone order and became Forbidden Humans.
Perhaps, during the war that year, some humans survived and survived in this special valley. At present, it seems that this is the only possibility.
If this is really the case, Jucheng may have to find a way to get them out of here.
O remnants of the sages. Even if their ancestors were defeated, their bravery could not be concealed.
However, what Li Yelai cared about was always the dead pregnant woman.
Is she also from this village?
Why was the hamstring severed? Why is there an inhuman presence in the abdomen? Finally, why did she commit suicide?
"And is the life substance I'm looking for related to this village?" Li Yelai was thinking in his heart, but he didn't know whether to contact them.
Although it was speculated that they were descendants of the sages, the corpse of the pregnant woman and the severed backpack warned Li Yelai that this village was definitely not simple.
Fortunately, Li Yelai's physical strength was strong enough that he could easily observe the villagers even if they were far away.
As a result, Li Yelai continued to hide in the jungle and watched the villagers' actions from a distance.
This village is not big, but there are about a hundred people.
Their faces were rosy, and both men and women seemed very comfortable and content, with smiles always on their faces.
There seems to be no worries, and that's right. In this environment, civilization cannot develop. As long as they can eat and drink enough, they will be satisfied.
A prosperous environment with no work, no danger, and no stress in life. It really is a paradise.
But the strange thing is that Li Yelai didn't see the old man in it. Was he in the house? Or is it because humans age very slowly in this special environment?
As time passed and the sun set, the villagers also walked towards the center of the village.
After a brief hesitation, Li Yelai followed him under the cover of night.
In the center of the village is a large tree that is so big that it takes more than a dozen people to surround it.
The tree is generally reddish, with no leaves on its intricate branches.
In the middle of the trunk, there is a large tree hole.
At this moment, the villagers gathered under the ancient tree and worshiped it. They seemed to regard the ancient tree as their faith.
Li Yelai looked at the ancient tree and thought: "Is the temperature in this valley normal because of this big red tree?"
It was at this time that Li Yelai saw an older man from a distance, who seemed to be in his early fifties. His clothes were obviously more elaborate, and he wore a black cloak with black feathers hanging down. He was holding a red wooden pole and dancing under the ancient tree, as if he was performing some kind of ritual.
The villagers were kneeling on the ground, looking at the man with fervent and expectant faces.
As the wooden gun in the man's hand fell and was aimed at a middle-aged man with white temples in the crowd, all the villagers burst into cheers of joy.
The middle-aged man also stood up with excitement on his face, stepped forward and knelt in front of the man in black.
The man in black tapped the middle-aged man's head with his red cane and nodded slightly.
Immediately, the middle-aged man stood up and climbed up the old red tree with a sincere expression.
Li Yelai frowned slightly when he saw this scene. He didn't know what he was going to do.
But I saw the middle-aged man climbing up the old tree with great effort and getting closer to the tree hole in the middle. Finally, the whole person actually got into the tree hole.
I don't know if it was a problem of the angle or if there was another structure inside the ancient tree, but Li Ye couldn't see the middle-aged man.
And all the villagers were holding their breath at this moment, staring at the ancient tree.
A few minutes later, a muscular arm stretched out from the tree hole, and then a figure climbed out of the tree hole.
It was the middle-aged man who had crawled into the tree hole before. No, we can’t say we are middle-aged now, we should say we are young!
His ears and temples were a little gray before, but now they are black, and all the wrinkles on his face have disappeared. His somewhat rickety body is now extremely tall and straight, and his mature face has become a little immature.
If the original appearance hadn't been visible on his face, Li Yelai would have thought it was another person.
He is rejuvenated!
The villagers congratulated happily, and the young man jumped down from the ancient tree. He picked up a young woman and held her in a circle.
His body was younger and more vigorous, and he seemed to have endless strength!
Li Yelai was shocked when he saw this scene.
No matter that there were no old people in the village, this ancient tree had the effect of rejuvenation, which really made the middle-aged man younger. It was not just a form, he was out of breath when climbing a tree before, but now he was walking briskly.
The ancient tree gave him unimaginable vitality!
"Could it be that this is the life substance I'm looking for?" Li Yelai thought quickly in his heart. If it was true, then the old mad king would be invincible!
Directly rejuvenate him and keep him at his peak. With a mad king at his peak, which king of the restricted area dares to be presumptuous?
The old mad king's combat power is very terrifying. He seems to be ranked among the top kings and is more powerful than the Amber King.
Of course, considering that this was said by colleagues from Border City No. 3, it might be bragging, but Li Yelai was willing to believe it because he was also from Border City No. 3.
But Li Yelai also knew that this was impossible.
Everything has a price, so what is the price of their rejuvenation?
Li Yelai looked at the fanatical villagers, feeling a little uneasy. He was even more vigilant about this ancient tree.
In order to confirm whether what he was looking for was this ancient tree, Li Yelai looked at the path-finding compass hanging on his chest again.
He found that the compass was still pointing forward. Was it really this ancient tree?
Is this the living substance?
Li Yelai frowned and stroked the compass to check, but his face changed wildly.
In the field of vision, the compass needle pointed to the direction Li Yelai was facing, but Li Yelai reached out to touch it but could not touch the needle. Instead, he touched the needle about five degrees to the side.
The compass needle still existed and pointed in the correct direction, but Li Yelai could not see it. He could only see a false pointer and direction.
His vision was deceived! No, not only vision, but also perception was deceived!
He was caught without knowing it!
Without any hesitation, Li Yelai grabbed the black-gold dragon-patterned gun, and the spiritual energy of his body surged and bloomed, and the spiritual energy barrier was opened to the maximum!
He didn't know when he was caught, but what was certain was that he was in danger now!
As the spiritual energy bloomed, the picture in front of Li Yelai shattered. A huge red ancient tree was not far away, and in the tree hole, a huge eyeball was staring at Li Yelai. At the moment when Li Yelai's spiritual energy burst out, another spiritual energy neutralized Li Yelai's spiritual energy barrier.
There were no farmlands and fruit trees around Li Yelai.
Instead, there were some withered humans surrounding them, holding sharp weapons and approaching Li Yelai. And just one step in front of Li Yelai, several huge traps were lined up. Whenever Li Yelai took a step when his vision was deceived, he would be caught by the trap.
And the two figures even took out a huge pair of scissors and placed them on both sides of Li Yelai's legs without knowing it.
At the same time, Li Yelai also heard a cruel roar.
"He found out!"
"Hurry up and pick off his hands and feet!"
The violent slash fell instantly, and insidiously chopped towards Li Yelai's right hand holding the gun.
At the same time, the big scissors on the ground also closed instantly.
Obviously, they wanted to cut off Li Yelai's legs and arms as quickly as possible!
For Li Yelai, they were too close.
Without time to react, Li Yelai instantly opened the mimicry · Abyssal Dragon Scale!
The dark shadow of the dragon scale emerged, and the axe and the huge scissors fell and closed. But it was directly chopped on the dragon scale.
Li Yelai kicked quickly, twisted his body in mid-air with all his strength, and the black and gold dragon pattern gun in his hand swept like a whirlwind!
One-handed 18 picks · Elephant step!
The black and gold dragon pattern gun tore the air and made a bang, and the terrifying sound of dragon roar bloomed. It hit the three sneak attackers directly.
‘Bang’ ‘Bang’ Bang’
Three loud noises sounded almost at the same time, and three people were instantly knocked away. Among them, two people who were squatting on the ground and operating the huge scissors were hit on the shoulders and their arms were directly broken, while the person who attacked with an axe behind him had his waist broken directly, and the whole person flew out horizontally.
Li Yelai did not dare to stop at all. He used air stepping to increase the distance, but found that the spiritual energy of air stepping was being neutralized. The efficiency was greatly reduced.
Air stepping is a means of spiritual energy barrier, which uses spiritual energy barrier to achieve aerial relay.
But at this moment, the spiritual energy barrier is weak, and stepping down is like stepping on a sponge. This slowed down Li Yelai's speed a lot.
The ancient tree is still neutralizing Li Yelai's spiritual energy. Is this also their plan?
Through perceptual deception, let Li Yelai lead to the ancient tree before taking action?
"What are you doing? Look clearly that I am a human!" Li Yelai roared.
"Soon it won't be!" Someone sneered.
The attacker whose waist was broken before stood up instantly, and his broken vertebrae seemed to be repaired quickly.
At the same time, the withered humanoids surrounding them also launched an attack instantly.
This also made Li Yelai wake up instantly. Where is the human village? Where is the rejuvenation? These are all perceptual deceptions!
These withered appearances are their true appearance. Li Yelai even saw a few winged figures among them.
Have even the creatures in the restricted area become one of them?
They seemed to be a composite of flesh and tree fiber, with branches or buds growing out of them, their bodies withered but with tenacious vitality!
Damn! How did I run into such a thing?
Li Yelai cursed inwardly, and forcedly performed air steps to quickly move away from the ancient tree.
And those withered ones were chasing quickly. Their spiritual power strength was average, with three awakenings and four awakenings.
If it were normal, Li Yelai could easily kill them. But under the influence of the ancient tree, his spiritual power was affected and it was difficult to exert his full strength. Moreover, their injuries recovered very quickly. Can't fight lingeringly, it's too weird!
Li Yelai tried to pull away, but saw a withered one wearing a black cloak holding a red wooden stick coming towards him.
It was the middle-aged man in the illusion!
"Stay, human. You will also be blessed with immortality." He raised his hand indifferently, and the wooden stick in his hand smashed down like a thousand pounds. A violent wind surged, and wind blades emerged and slashed towards Li Yelai in the air. He is actually a five-sense psychic!
But Li Yelai did not dodge or evade, and rushed into the wind blade head-on, resisting it with his abyss dragon scales. At the same time, the black and gold dragon pattern spear in his hand instantly stabbed out.
One-handed Eighteen Picks·Rhino Strike!
I saw a cold light piercing through the wind and piercing straight!
The middle-aged man's face changed. He probably didn't expect that a four-sense psychic would dare to resist his attack, and was pierced directly through the chest by Li Yelai.
Li Yelai's dragon scales were scattered on his body, but he was not seriously injured. However, the backpack behind him was cut open and some props were scattered.
Li Yelai twisted the spear and used one-handed Eighteen Picks·Turn!
It directly tore the middle-aged man's chest and shoulders. This time, Li Yelai was deadly.
But I saw vines growing out of the middle-aged man's chest and quickly stitching up the flesh and blood.
The drooping head was still talking: "You are strong, human. But it's useless. We are immortal. Stay here, the sacred tree will make you feel the beauty of everything. We haven't had any new members for more than six years."
"Yes, human, don't resist. Continue to be silent in the wonderful dream." A withered chased after him, but he persuaded: "Have you tasted the taste of angels? It's really good."
"No need, everyone, you don't have to send me off!"
Li Yelai could only pick up the flaming oil lamp from the scattered props and quickly leave the battlefield.
But the other withered chased after him.
As Li Yelai distanced himself from the ancient tree, his psychic energy was gradually no longer suppressed, but those withered didn't care.
Li Yelai waved the dragon spear in his hand and killed several withered, but saw that they quickly repaired and got up to chase in the next second.
A dozen unkillable psychics bit Li Yelai tightly.
Even though Li Yelai rushed up the snowy mountain and had to turn on the Fiery Oil Lamp, they still refused to give up. Their bodies were frozen, but they were forced to move, breaking and recovering at the same time. They bit Li Yelai tightly.
Li Yelai understood why he saw the cut mountaineering bag at that time. There were psychics who entered the snowy mountain and were chased by them!
Because he was close to the snowy mountain, Li Yelai did not dare to turn on his face, fearing that it would cause another avalanche.
The middle-aged man who chased here said indifferently: "Forget it, we can't take him down. But we can't let people outside know our information."
"Understood." Several withered people sneered, and their psychic energy surged immediately, attacking Li Yelai desperately.
The middle-aged man waved his red cane, and a violent wind surged in an instant.
"I gave you a chance, human. You will be buried here."
The next moment, a violent wind surged on the snowy mountain, and the terrifying low temperature raged.
Li Yelai could clearly feel that the temperature around him was getting lower and lower, and the Fiery Oil Lamp seemed to have reached its limit.
The maximum height of the oil lamp is 500 meters, and now Li Yelai is close to the maximum distance.
This also made Li Yelai's eyes cold. At the moment of life and death, he no longer hesitated and was ready to fight.
Blizzard, right? How about seeing an avalanche?
Then, the mask, the blood river.
But at this moment, Li Yelai felt a burst of heat in his chest, and a warmth bloomed in the box hidden in his arms.
That was the hand bone of the Vast Supreme! (End of this chapter)
