Chinese heroes against the heavens

Chapter 99 Strange Tree
Luo Jianguo descended about ten meters along the cliff, and found strange thick vines clinging to the surroundings, like pythons, entrenched on the cliff.

Seeing this scene, Luo Jianguo felt a little inexplicable, but he didn't think much about it and quickly attributed this feeling to his fear of snakes.

Luo Jianguo tried to pull the vine with his hands. It was a bit soft, but it was still strong, but it was too cold.

After confirming that the vines could bear it, Luo Jianguo put away the saber in his left hand, grabbed the vines with one hand, and continued to fall with the Yitian sword in the other.

Um?Is it an illusion?Feel the vine next to it seem to move?
As an acquired martial artist, Luo Jianguo is very confident in his insight, and believes that he should not be wrong.

Sure enough, Luo Jianguo thought this way, clenched the Yitian sword with his right hand, and accelerated his falling speed. If there was any danger, hanging on this cliff would be tantamount to binding his hands and feet.

As Luo Jianguo descended, he found that the vines became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, he became more vigilant.

"Hmm? The vines extend from the cave?"

About ten meters below Luo Jianguo, a huge cave appeared, with a diameter of about five meters by visual inspection.

When Luo Jianguo came to the top of the cave holding the vines and seeing the scene at the entrance of the cave, a trace of fear rose uncontrollably in his heart.

This huge cave is like a weird big mouth, bottomless, constantly devouring the light that tries to enter it.And these dense and strange snake-shaped vines are like mouthparts spreading out of this giant mouth.

Feelings of treachery, grotesque, and evil kept coming to Luo Jianguo's heart.

Luo Jianguo took a deep breath and calmed himself down. It was impossible to shrink back. He was determined to obtain the unrivaled secrets inside, and he couldn't give up just because the cave was scary.

Thinking of this, Luo Jianguo clenched the Yitian Sword in his hand, and the edge of the sword groaned softly, as if he was also soothing Luo Jianguo's heart.

"Huh ~ drink!"

After Luo Jianguo exhaled, the Yitian Sword lit up with a golden light without warning, and the sword energy, which was so sharp that it seemed to be able to cut through the air, was continuously waved by Luo Jianguo, shooting towards the thick vines at the entrance of the cave.

Stab~stab~boom!
The sharp sword energy was like cutting tofu, easily cut through the hard and thick vines, and cut towards the stone wall at the entrance of the cave with undiminished power, setting off a burst of smoke and dust.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, the cave entrance was in a mess. The strange snake-shaped vines had all been smashed by the sword energy, and the wreckage was scattered messily, while ferocious sword marks about one meter deep appeared on the ground.

click~click~
Luo Jianguo stepped on the rough ground at the entrance of the cave, lowered his body and picked up the remains of a strange snake-shaped vine.

"I want to see what the hell this is."

With curiosity, Luo Jianguo looked at the palm-sized wreckage in his hand. There was some light red mucus attached to the wreckage. Luo Jianguo smelled it, and it was a bit fishy and rusty.

Changing the angle of the wreckage and looking inside the vine, Luo Jianguo found that there were small tubes similar to blood vessels in the vine, extremely thin!The thick vines in the water basin, but the tubes are about the same thickness as human blood vessels, giving Luo Jianguo an extremely uncoordinated weirdness, a feeling of dysplasia!

After some observation, Luo Jianguo didn't get any useful information except knowing what the inside of this strange snake-shaped vine looked like.

pat~
Throwing the wreckage away, Luo Jianguo drew out his saber with his left hand and continued walking inside.

clack~ clack~
Luo Jianguo walked all the way, waving the Yitian sword all the way to cut off all the vines he saw along the way, so as to avoid being attacked by the enemy after an accident.

As the depth of entering the cave deepened, the environment became more humid and stuffy, and a strong rancid smell gradually appeared in the air.But these are minor problems, after all, he is a man who used to roll in the corruption group.

Walking like this, I don't know how long it took, the front suddenly opened up, and when Luo Jianguo walked out of this passage, he found himself standing in a huge natural cave!
What shocked Luo Jianguo was not the huge natural cave, but a huge tree-like plant that radiated a dim red light standing in the center of the cave.

Why do you say similar to a tree?Because this weird plant has the shape of a tree, but the crown part is composed of snake-shaped vines thick in water tanks. These vines are intertwined and intricate, like giant pythons crossing their necks!

Its seven- or eight-story-high body reaches directly to the top of the cave, and then spreads out on the top of the cave like an umbrella. After the vines completely occupy the cave roof of more than 1000 square meters, it extends to the ground along the stone wall, and has already been spread out. Another part of the vines covering the ground completes the confluence.

Looking at this scene, Luo Jianguo was filled with shock. In this cave of thousands of square meters and seven or eight stories high, this strange tree seemed to be like a world tree, connecting the sky and the earth!

Perhaps, this is far from its limit, but space limits it.

But judging by its appearance, it seems to be dying?The red light that was dim enough to be extinguished at any time, as well as the shriveled vines stretching all over the ground, all indicated that this strange tree, which may have existed for thousands of years, was about to come to an end!

Holding the Yitian sword, Luo Jianguo slowly moved towards the tree trunk on guard, as if he was afraid of disturbing this world that was about to die.

Carefully stepping on the vines all over the ground, Luo Jianguo came to the trunk of the strange tree without encountering any obstacles.

Facing this strange tree, Luo Jianguo felt his own insignificance for the first time. It has nothing to do with strength, it is a kind of power of time!The grandeur of life!Unrivaled, incomparable!

Observing this strange tree carefully, Luo Jianguo found that the texture was wrong. It seemed that it had become an empty shell?

In order to test this idea, Luo Jianguo picked up the Yitian Sword and stabbed the tree trunk.

魄~
With a crisp sound, after the Yitian sword pierced through a layer of [-] cm thick bark, there was no resistance again!
rub~
Luo Jianguo took back the Yitian sword and found that there was a red light emitting from the pierced hole.

Ok?
This discovery made Luo Jianguo a little excited. Generally, this kind of life, especially plants, will leave some treasures after death!
click~click~
Luo Jianguo waved the Yitian sword and easily opened a small hole that could be entered by one person. After digging the tree hole, Luo Jianguo couldn't wait to go in.

Entering the inside of the strange tree, Luo Jianguo found that, as expected, the tree was empty, with nearly a hundred square meters of space inside!
The thing that emits red light is a blue-gray ball as big as a fist. This ball is like the heart of a strange tree, with countless hair-thick tubes connected to it.

Most of the tubes are dimmed, and only a few tubes still emit a faint red light, as if they are transporting something.
