Di Jiu watched for several minutes to make sure that there was no problem before he carefully stepped onto it.
There was a scraping sound as his feet stepped on the dead bark remnants. Di Jiu deliberately stepped hard a few times and his feet were very firm and there was nothing unusual. Only then did he take another step forward with confidence, stepping all the way onto the root part of the tree with both feet.
No, Di Jiu’s whole body had just stepped onto the root section of the tree when he felt that something was wrong, he actually couldn’t hear any sound after he entered, the silence around him was even a bit seeping.
In the Fairy Star, everywhere was the sound of birds chirping and demonic beasts hissing. He couldn’t hear anything now, which was obviously not normal.
Di Jiu immediately had to retreat, and then he realised that he couldn’t retreat at all. The surroundings were grey and dull, where was the scene outside? Not only that, even his divine thoughts could not sweep outside.
Di Jiu’s heart sank, he knew that he should have entered some kind of trapped formation. He had six tricks about formations, and that was all he knew.
The more he was in this situation, the more he had to calm down. Di Jiu stood still for a while thinking about the direction he had come in and took a step back.
Because he did not know the dao of the formation, Di Jiu intended to take this step and then exit and stand in the same position he had taken before entering the tree root break. But in fact, after Di Jiu took this step back, he did not stand in the position outside the tree root, and the surrounding area was still grey and dull.
Di Jiu reached out and pulled out the kitchen knife from his waist and held it in his hand, he did not step on it and fly away. Since this was a spell formation, it meant that if he dared to step on the knife and fly, he would most likely be in an even worse situation.
True essence gathered on the kitchen knife and Di Jiu just slashed out.
The white light from the knife appeared exceptionally clear in the grey space. After a sound, Di Jiu felt an empty space under his feet, and his whole body lost support.
In his haste Di Jiu’s true essence coalesced, and he found that he was unable to coalesce his true essence at all. Before he could sacrifice his chopper, his feet had already landed on the ground.
“Ka-chow!” With a sound, one of the leg bones snapped.
Without hesitation, Di Jiu grabbed out a pill and swallowed it, then tapped dozens of times on his broken leg bone.
At this height, with his cultivation level, he definitely wouldn’t have broken his leg bone, but it just happened to break. This place fell as if it was tailored to the amount of force he needed to break his leg bone.
Luckily, he was still a top-notch healing master and still had top-notch healing pills on him.
As Di Jiu tapped dozens of times in a row, his broken leg bones recovered in the quickest time possible. The pills turned into medicinal liquid, driven by Di Jiu’s Circumstance Movement, rapidly nourishing Di Jiu’s leg bones.
In just a short time, Di Jiu could barely stand up. However, he did not stand up, one here was a bit weird, and secondly his leg bones were still very fragile.
Di Jiu healed himself in just an instant, while his divine thoughts penetrated out. To his relief, his divine thoughts could now penetrate out. When Di Jiu’s divine thoughts swept the surroundings, he drew a cold breath.
The space he was in was all built up by various tree roots, which wrapped him in a root space. Even Di Jiu could not understand why he had landed in a space with tree roots, there was no entrance to get in.
Even so, in the middle of those roots, there were countless white bones. Beast bones, human bones all of them ……
Soon Di Jiu’s divine thoughts swept up the person who sent out the plea for help, which he knew, it was the female tutor Yu Jie.
At this moment, Yu Jie’s clothes were all torn and pulled as if they were strips of cloth, and many parts of her body could not be covered up.
Yu Jie was originally an extremely beautiful woman and should have been more striking under such circumstances. However, Di Jiu had a chilling feeling that he did not feel Yu Jie was half as striking and seductive.
Yu Jie was suspended in the middle of the root net by a tree root pa*sing through her waist. Her face was terribly pale and her arms and legs were still twitching slightly. Having not seen Yu-jae for just over a month, Di Jiu felt that she was as thin and frail as a bamboo pole.
The reason he could see Yu-jae’s distress signal was because Yu-jae was holding the locator in her hand, her eyes were closed and she seemed to be unconscious. It looked like she was able to press the distress call and had occasional moments of wakefulness.
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts landed on the root of the tree that had pa*sed through Yu Jie, and he soon understood what was going on.
His thoughts clearly saw that the tree root was sucking Yu-jie’s blood, the process was very slow, but the blood was indeed penetrating into the root extremely slowly.
Di Jiu felt that his leg bones could already move, he stood up and his true essence coalesced into the kitchen knife in his hand.
The moment Di Jiu stood up, Yu Jie opened her eyes, and she immediately showed a desperate expression when she saw Di Jiu. Perhaps her lack of blood was so severe that she didn’t even think about why Di Jiu could come here.
She wanted very much to say a word to Di Jiu, but she couldn’t say a word.
Before Di Jiu could take a step forward to make a move on the roots wrapped around Yu Jie, several roots extended directly over, one of which went straight through to the ninth’s abdomen, seemingly wanting to hang Di Jiu and Yu Jie alike through.
Di Jiu was furious, the chopper in his hand slashed out, a tragic blade aura with a whistling sound that broke the air, that powerful killing intent seemed to declare that anything that stood in the way of this blade aura would be cleaved away.
“Pffffff!” Several sounds rang out one after another, and several roots that were blocking Di Jiu were directly split by Di Jiu, and Di Jiu could clearly see that there was still blood dripping out from the fracture of the roots that he had split. He even heard a subtle cry of pain.
Sensing Di Jiu’s power, the rest of the roots shrank back. Di Jiu took a step into the air and before he could fall, he slashed out once again.
The sword qi slashed down with a tearing vortex. The surrounding tree roots seemed to know what Di Jiu was thinking, and seven or eight of them tried to intercept Di Jiu as he slashed out this slash. The great whirlpool of that blade qi rolled in and tore apart the surrounding tree roots that tried to intercept it, and finally that blade mane cleaved down unobstructed on the tree root that pa*sed through Yu Jie.
Di’s third slash, the Swirling Wind Slash.
“Ah!” This time Di Jiu heard it more clearly, that cry of pain was definitely not from Yu Jie.
The tree root was cut off by Di Jiu and Yu Jie fell down from the air and was caught by Di Jiu.
The Yu-jae in his arms seemed to have only bones left in her body, without any semblance of flesh, and her leg bones were also broken. Yu Jie’s broken leg bones were even worse than Di Jiu’s, both leg bones were broken. Coupled with the fact that she had been sucked of blood for such a long time, it was probably difficult for her to recover in a short time.
When Di Jiu made that slash, Yu Jie happened to see it, and when she saw several roots rolling in, she fainted again in despair.
Di Jiu casually took out a pill and stuffed it into Yu Jie’s mouth, while noticing the situation around him. The roots here had been split by him by a dozen or so, and it seemed that they knew that Di Jiu was powerful, and the rest of the roots did not come up to surround Di Jiu again.
His own leg bone had only just been repaired and Di Jiu could see that the roots he had just broken were only a few of the huge roots. Since those roots did not continue to look for him, he did not go back to chop those roots either.
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts stretched out and he saw a small tree man sitting in the depths surrounded by roots.
The dense tree roots all seemed to be stretching out from the body of this little tree man. Even if Di Jiu’s divine thoughts casually swept it, he could feel the dense vitality contained in the little tree man.
Sucking the blood of people and demonic beasts to strengthen his own vitality, this little tree man didn’t know what kind of thing it was. There was also the spell formation outside that he couldn’t find a way out of at all, I wonder what it had to do with this little tree man.
As his thoughts turned, Di Jiu decided to finish off this little tree man and take it away. Not to mention the fact that this little tree man was so dense with life, he would not just let it go if it almost killed him. This was because he had entered the sixth level of Qi training, if he was still at the fourth level of Qi training, would he have been able to finish off so many roots with one slash?
If his slash did not pose any threat to the little tree man, then the fate that awaited him would be the same as Yu Jie’s. Or perhaps he was not a healing master, and it would be difficult for him to do any damage to these tree roots with his broken leg.
To make a move, he could, but he had to wait for some time until his leg bones had recovered.
Di Jiu’s pills were so effective that in a short time, Yu Jie opened her eyes, and when she saw Di Jiu sitting beside her, she asked with some surprise, “Di Jiu, it was you who saved me?”
“There doesn’t seem to be anyone else here either.” Di Jiu thought of Yu Jie saying he was rubbish earlier and was a little upset. If he had known it was this woman, he really wouldn’t have come over.
“I didn’t expect you to be so powerful, I’m sorry, I thought you were a guy looking for connections to get in before, and I buried you in my heart.” Yu Jie was really grateful to Di Jiu in her heart then.
Even if she was alone here waiting to die, the loneliness and fear of being alone here with tree roots going through her body sucking blood and waiting to die was not something that ordinary people could bear at all, she was just an ordinary person.
“Forget it, I’ll be generous and not bother you.” Di Jiu waved his hand, what he had in mind now was how to finish off the little tree man. There was also the question of if he and Yu Jie moved, would those tree roots around them suddenly strike again?
The key was that Yu Jie, a tired man, couldn’t walk away with both legs broken.
