The tree net formed above Di Jiu and Yu Jie’s heads began to disintegrate. Perhaps because they knew that Di Jiu’s sword was too terrifying, those tree roots that formed a tree net to lock on the space where Di Jiu and Yu Jie were retracted at once, and in an instant, only countless broken tree roots remained on the ground.
“Phew!” Yu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, with a circle of tree root nets above her head that could kill her at any time, and no matter how much she wanted to be at peace, she couldn’t be at peace. Now that Di Jiu had cut all these tree root nets, that fear was instantly diminished by a lot.
“Wait for me here, I’ll go over and take a look.” At this moment, as the tree root nets were split by Di Jiu, Di Jiu was even more relieved. As long as he was in front to stop the tree roots from pa*sing by him, Yu Jie was safe.
After Di Jiu finished speaking and didn’t wait for Yu Jie’s answer, he once again walked towards the little tree man.
The little tree man should have known that Di Jiu was really going to take it, this time Di Jiu just took a few steps and a tree root shot over like a sharp arrow.
The chopper in Di Jiu’s hand curled up into a cloud of saber mane, which formed a wall of sabers, and all the roots that hit the wall of sabers were torn apart by Di Jiu. A mixture of red and green liquid splashed in the air, and the little tree man’s eyes turned red with pain as he became more and more furious with Di Jiu, shooting out more and more arrows of tree roots, which also became stronger and stronger.
Finally a sharp arrow of tree roots broke through Di Jiu’s wall of sword arrows and looked like it was heading straight for Yu Jie. The little tree man’s theory was strange, if it wasn’t for Yu Jie, the woman’s locator, he shouldn’t have messed with a guy like Di Jiu. As long as he couldn’t mess with Di Jiu, then he was still here sucking blood with impunity.
Di Jiu didn’t expect that there was still a tree root that could break through his wall of blade mane to kill Yu Jie, so it was too late to return his blade.
The arrow of the tree root that broke through Di Jiu’s wall of saber mane slowed down because it was dodging the wall of saber light, and Di Jiu’s fireball was thrown with full force, catching up with the tree root after it was thrown.
“Snort!” A pungent smell came from the tree root arrows, which instantly turned into flames, and a burning crackling sound was emitted in the air.
“Kiri!” The little tree man was burned off a tree root arrow by this flame, and his head was deformed in pain.
Only then did Di Jiu realise that the fireball technique seemed to be more effective against these tree roots than the wall of sword mane. The sword mane could cause damage to the tree roots, but that was only to break the bones and not to kill them, the kind of deadly threat that the fireball had on the tree roots was already clear to Di Jiu.
Understanding the effect of the fireballs, Di Jiu was blasting out one fireball after another, these fireballs smashed into the tree root arrows with a continuous crackling sound.
“Don’t do it, I concede defeat, I concede defeat ……” a childish voice screamed up, all the tree root arrows retracted at this time, even those tree root vines that were leaping forward, also quietly retracted from the air.
Without the attacks and sneak attacks from the tree roots, Di Jiu easily arrived in front of the little tree man.
The little tree man was only a foot or so tall at best, and beneath its feet were circles and circles of coiled tree roots, which were twisted together as if they were a nest of vines.
“Fellow Daoist, this time it was my fault, I apologise and am willing to see you out.” The little tree man spoke with very little breath, its eyes were filled with worry and fear. At this time, if this young man opposite dropped a dozen fireballs on it, then it would be dead.
Who let it not have enough dao? By the time it had gathered its body, any more fireballs from this guy, he could blow them out with his eyes closed.
Daoist friend? Di Jiu looked up and down at this little tree man, how could this little tree man look like a dao friend?
Di Jiu didn’t say anything at all, a huge fireball was offered up by Di Jiu and hovered above his palm.
“Daoist friend spare my life, it is not easy for me to cultivate, please be merciful ……” Seeing Di Jiu’s appearance as if he was going to hit it with a big fireball, this little tree man panicked.
Di Jiu sneered, “You can’t cultivate already? How many innocent lives have been killed by you here? And they are easy? Go to hell for me ……”
Di Jiu fireball raised, looking like he was about to smash down.
“Don’t, I’ll tell you the secret to get out of here ……” The little tree man really didn’t know how to make Di Jiu stop, and could only beg for his life with the idea that everyone who entered here wanted to get out.
With Di Jiu’s speed, he wanted to smash down the fireball long ago, where could he wait until now, so as soon as the little tree man begged for mercy, his fireball stopped, “The secret to getting out? Do you think I still need you to tell me if I want to get out from here with my strength?”
This statement Di Jiu was bragging, if the little tree man didn’t tell him, he really didn’t know how to get out. However, Di Jiu decided that this little tree man’s intelligence should not be very high yet, and he couldn’t tell the truth of his words in a short time.
“No, no, this place is a trapped formation, it’s hard to get out. I got here because I obtained the formation inheritance of the original person who was in retreat here, that’s why ……”
“Humph!” Di Jiu coldly snorted you interrupted the little tree man’s words, “You lie, with a little tree root like you, you also want to obtain the inheritance of a strong person who is in retreat here, who are you fooling.”
“I really don’t lie to you, I was originally a living essence formed by this giant tree, and because of the time that has pa*sed, these living essences have a trace of spirituality. That strong man hollowed out my essence directly and closed down in the deepest part of this tree’s roots trying to break through the realm. As a result, he was too eager to break through the realm and his karmic fire burned his body. In his anxiety, this son of a b*tch actually grabbed out me and swallowed me into his mouth ……”
Di Jiu was amused in his heart, the reason why that guy who was in seclusion trying to break through the realm chose this place for seclusion was definitely because he had long seen this cloud of tree spirit essence. It would be strange not to swallow the tree spirit essence when breaking through the realm goes wrong.
The little tree man continued, “This b*****d wanted to refine me, but ended up not being able to do that, instead, he let me get a lot of his memories, and in the end he died and I survived.”
Di Jiu understood that this little tree man was the tree spirit essence of the tree outside that was as big as a football field. Originally, it was very difficult for this tree spirit essence to leave its body, but unexpectedly, someone tried to refine it, but instead of refining it, they gave it a lot of cultivation knowledge. As a result, this tree spirit essence transformed into a small tree man, and perhaps after some more time, this small tree man really left the place.
“So what things have you learnt?” Di Jiu asked carelessly.
The little tree man peeked at Di Jiu, and seeing Di Jiu’s expressionless face, he said with some apprehension, “I know the Dao of Formation, which was acquired inside the consciousness of that Daoist friend who died in seclusion ……”
Di Jiu frowned, “I’m not interested in this thing.”
“Dao friend, formation dao is something that every cultivator must master, it is one of the most important means, if dao friend knew formation dao, you wouldn’t be trapped in here.” Hearing Di Jiu say that he was not interested, the little tree man became anxious and shouted even louder.
Di Jiu hummed, “In that case, you bring it to me to casually look at it and see if it has any value.”
The moment he heard the word formation dao, Di Jiu’s heart just got excited. He wanted to learn the Dao of Formation even more than he wanted to learn alchemy and refining weapons and talismans.
Unfortunately, there was no way for him to learn it even if he wanted to, so now that the little tree man said that he knew the Dao of Formation, he was naturally excited. The little tree man was not very intelligent and could not make this little tree man feel that he wanted the formation dao very much.
Seeing Di Jiu’s lack of interest, the little tree man hurriedly said again, “I set up that trapped formation outside, it’s very powerful, right?”
“Awesome my a*s, I purposely came in here to teach you a lesson. As a result, you were still taught by me like a grey grandson, what else do you know?” Di Jiu chided.
“I also know Tree Root Arrows ……” The little tree man’s voice was a little weak, obviously knowing that Tree Root Arrows would do almost zero damage to Di Jiu.
“Rubbish!” Sure enough Di Jiu immediately said rubbish with disdain, mouthing the word rubbish and raising the fireball upwards purposely.
“I will tree roots ……” the little tree man winced and hurriedly shouted.
“Rubbish!” The fireball lifted again, as if to fall.
“I’ve got that cultivator stuff ……”
“Junk …… uh, this is not junk, hurry up and bring it to me.” Di Jiu reacted and retracted the uplifted fireball a bit.
The little tree man was relieved, and a tree root rolled up a jade slip and sent it out.
Di Jiu grabbed the jade slip and scanned it with his divine thoughts, his heart was just happy, then he said fiercely, “Isn’t this a rubbish formation jade slip you’re giving? Where are the spirit stones? Where are the pills? Where are the magic treasures?”
Speaking of this, Di Jiu seemed to remember something very important and said even louder, “And where is the storage ring?”
Hearing Di Jiu’s words the little tree man shivered in fear and hurriedly said, “There is no storage ring ……”
Di Jiu laughed heatedly, “Do you cheat me with the same intelligence as you? A person who can be in retreat here without a storage ring?”
The fire ball in his hand rose again, and the flame aura became even more dense.
“It’s true that there is none, just this one jade slip, or the one he threw outside ……” The little tree man shivered again and looked at Di Jiu’s fire ball with some fear, its voice carrying a hint of fear and crying.
To it, the fear of being burnt to death by fire was the same as the fear of dying from Yu Jie being sucked for blood.
Di Jiu frowned once, he sensed that the little tree man was not talking nonsense, this little tree man seemed to have obtained only part of the formation dao.
“What is the location of that man’s corpse? Take me to see.” Di Jiu thought of the little tree man’s intelligence and wondered in his heart if this little tree man hadn’t found the storage ring.
“Yes, yes ……” the little tree man hurriedly pointed to a big pit in the distance and said, “Which side are they all on.”
That place Di Jiu had seen, and it was all filled with corpse bones. Di Jiu was about to go over and take a look when he stopped in his tracks, “No, I’m worried that you’ll escape once I leave you, it’s better to burn you first.”
