Around the ancient tree, there are large pieces of floating rocks, big and small, the small ones can only accommodate one person, and the large ones can accommodate hundreds of people.
Originally, these floating rocks of different sizes should be extremely conspicuous, but in fact, few people can notice them from a distance, because they are too small compared to the ancient trees that block the sky .
How big is the old tree?
This cannot be calculated at all. When it is very close, it does not look like a tree at all, but an Optimus Prime supporting the sky and the earth. The leaves blown by the wind are far larger than humans!
Countless dense branches stretched like dark clouds in the sky, intertwined, and dark green vines entangled on the unimaginably thick treetops, thick as dragons, extremely shocking.
Although there have always been many tall trees in the world of practice, and some have lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, but there is absolutely no tree that can be so huge and strong!
"How long has this tree been around?"
On a floating rock that was very close to the ancient tree, the handsome young man felt a little pain in his neck when he lifted it, and his face was full of surprise.
Not far away, the girl who was looking down at the corpse of a monster did not respond, her silvery eyes fell on the monster's body that had begun to rot, thoughtfully.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the young man walked directly to the side, looked at the rotting monster, but soon covered his mouth and nose because of the pungent stench.
"This is already the eighth corpse. Why are all the monsters near here dead? Could it be that someone arrived here before us? But it doesn't look like..."
It's not like they haven't seen similar monsters when they rushed here, especially after dark, it can be described as a group of demons dancing wildly, with everything in disorder.
But the ones I encountered before were all alive and kicking, but as I got closer to the giant tree, there were a large number of corpses, and all the monsters I encountered were in a long-dead state.
Such a scene made the young man very puzzled, but the girl next to him still didn't answer his doubts, it should be said that he completely ignored him.
Of course, this is also normal, after all, they were not companions in the first place, it was just that the young man had a premonition that this secret place was too dangerous, so he chose to hug the silver-haired loli's thigh, and followed him shamelessly.
The silver-haired loli... that is, Bai Xiaoyu doesn't care, she just follows if she loves it, since the other party is so fearless, why would she stop her?
The young man obviously misunderstood something. Not only is her side not safe, but it is the most dangerous place.
These thoughts were only fleeting. After checking the carrion corpse of the slaughtered monster on the ground and confirming that it was not done by an outsider like him, Her Royal Highness Shenfei's eyes fell on the giant tree in front of her.
Sure enough, the tree had a big problem, and then...
"This is not a secret place at all."
"Uh... Girl, ah no, senior, what do you mean?"
The slight whisper could not be heard clearly by the young man next to him. Just as he was puzzled, he saw the girl point her toes, and then her petite body rose into the air, stepping on the rocks floating in the air and approaching the ancient tree at a very high speed. .
"Eh? Wait for me!"
Chapter 63 Chapter 210
Although I knew from the very beginning that something was wrong with the so-called Mysterious Spirit Realm, whether it was the old man's reminder or the previous fortune-telling, it was not easy, but after stepping into the secret realm, Bai Xiaoyu was secretly shocked by the situation of this so-called secret realm .
As a member of Tianji Sect, she is most sensitive to inauspicious things, and the moment Her Highness Shenfei stepped into this place, all her senses were crazily reminding her of one thing──something terrible existed nearby!
Bai Xiaoyu has no way of knowing what that thing is, and she can't even perceive where the other party is, but she has never experienced the ubiquitous sense of danger since she was born, so strong, so horrible.
What the hell is here?
With this kind of doubt, Bai Xiaoyu searched for the root of everything. She obviously didn't have any thoughts of leaving, even if she might encounter the greatest danger in her life afterwards.
But even if there is an unprecedented danger, at the very least, it is necessary to find out the root cause of the danger before it really breaks out. This is Bai Xiaoyu's responsibility as a member of the Tianji Sect, although many times this responsibility will only make her feel very annoying. But Tianjimen has the kindness of nurturing and teaching her after all.
Just like Her Majesty the Concubine Shen didn't want to come to Xuanling Mountain from the very beginning, she could foresee that this lying down might be troublesome, and she always hated trouble.
But there was no other way, the perverted old man came to the door in person and spoke, and even showed an unprecedented serious expression, so she had no choice but to move her body that was about to become stiff.
In short, although Bai Xiaoyu didn't want to get involved in Xuanling Mountain's affairs, since she agreed to do so, she would do her best, just like she called her former friends to help in order to prevent accidents.

"It's a pity that it's still a step away. This secret realm was blocked by an unknown force. After losing contact, I hope that guy Nangong Liuli doesn't do anything stupid."
Following the grasp of the secret, Bai Xiaoyu went straight to the ancient tree all the way, and now jumping nimbly among the pumice rocks, the ancient tree is close at hand.
She believed that she would be able to find out the truth soon, but the power to seal off the secret realm made her lose contact with Nangong Liuli from the outside world, and that fairy Liuli's personality had never been very reliable, and she became a little silly after getting married. of.
So Bai Xiaoyu was very worried that she would do bad things with good intentions.
But I can't think too much about the current situation. I can only take one step at a time. The heavens are dusty and the secrets are chaotic. what.
And while thinking like this, passing through the huge floating rocks, Bai Xiaoyu was finally less than a hundred feet away from the ancient tree. It seemed that it was still far away, but in fact it was reached in an instant.
She stopped on a floating rock at the very edge and looked up into the distance.
"Huh...huh... I said senior, slow down, if you encounter any danger... Cough, I mean if you encounter any danger, I can open the way for you, right? Wouldn't it be a heinous crime to dirty your hands!"
There was a panting voice from behind, but Bai Xiaoyu still ignored him, which hurt the young man named Wen Yu a little bit. Fortunately, he has always been big-hearted and shameless, otherwise he wouldn't have been chasing after him all the time. let go.
So he didn't pay too much attention to Her Highness Concubine Shen's ignorance, and panted heavily for a while, then raised his head and looked in the direction the girl was looking at, and then he was taken aback: "Wow... what a big hole! How could there be such a big hole in this tree? Is it a wormhole? What a big worm! Can the tree take it..."
Bai Xiaoyu, who was originally focused on the huge hole near the root of the ancient tree, finally took a straight look at Wen Yu. The main reason is that this person is so eloquent in his ramblings, and she has already ignored it. what happened?
While thinking this way, Her Highness Shenfei finally said, "It's not a wormhole, and it's not even formed naturally."
"Uh... I was just joking, this obviously can't be a wormhole."
Probably because he didn't expect that this petite but majestic 'senior' would really talk to him. After Bai Xiaoyu spoke, Wen Yu couldn't get used to it. He scratched his head in embarrassment, his eyes a little dodged, and then he casually looked for him. He opened his mouth on a topic and said, "By the way, the fog here is much thicker than the surrounding area, especially the fog around the tree hole seems to be very thick. The fog doesn't come from this hole, does it?"
"Not just fog."
Bai Xiaoyu responded, but his gaze was once again focused on the huge tree hole hundreds of meters away. He saw that the fog at the hole was indeed several times thicker, and if he looked carefully, he would find that the surrounding tree hole On the tree body...the climbing purple lines are particularly dense!
When viewed from a distance, these purple lines felt very strange, like diseased spots corroding an ancient tree. Now, when viewed from a distance, the uncomfortable feeling became more than several times stronger.
These purple lines are very dangerous. Bai Xiaoyu confirmed it at a glance. She slowly opened her palm, and saw dozens of purple qi in her palm struggling to escape like living things. It's a tiny purple snake.
This is what Bai Xiaoyu obtained from the monsters that attacked her before. Those monsters have different shapes, but after they are eliminated, they will leave behind a large cloud of gray mist and this wisp of purple air.
This is obviously the root cause of the mutation, but the girl couldn't understand what it was, and at this moment, she looked at the purple lines all over the ancient tree in front of her...
"Undoubtedly a thing."
There is essentially no difference between the purple patterns all over the ancient tree and the purple air that Bai Xiaoyu extracted from the monster, the only difference is probably only in quantity.
There are only strands and strands on the body of ordinary monsters, but on the ancient tree in front of you... there is no comparison at all!It should be said that the purple qi on those monsters is most likely an insignificant part that inadvertently leaked from the ancient trees.
But it's just that insignificant thread that can turn cute little animals into monsters, and harmless plants into monsters that devour people. What about the ancient tree itself?What is the source of all this spreading?And how to be strong?
Fortunately, Bai Xiaoyu saw that although the ancient trees were also polluted, they were obviously not completely eroded, at least not yet.
"It's good news, although the situation is still not optimistic enough."
Her Highness did not hesitate to take back the queen and concubine, and immediately approached the tree hole. Wen Yu didn't know if she had a premonition of some danger, even if she was a little tired, she followed behind her butt without hesitation.
And when the two were only about ten feet away from the tree hole, a sudden change occurred!
"Shhh!!"
A ray of cold light tore through the night and flew in front of Bai Xiaoyu in the blink of an eye. She grabbed it just as it was about to hit her chest. It turned out to be a wooden arrow. The voice sounded: "This place cannot be approached, leave quickly!"
Chapter 64 Chapter 211 Guardian
Bai Xiaoyu looked at the wooden arrow in his hand, it looked like it was made of ordinary wood, even the arrowhead looked very blunt, giving people the illusion that it would break if it was broken, and it would not have much lethality.
But in fact, this seemingly ordinary wooden arrow is far harder than fine iron, and contains powerful spiritual energy inside. The reason why Bai Xiaoyu was able to catch it lightly is because this arrow is purely for warning. , does not have any killing intent.
She looked at the person who shot the arrow at her. It was a tall woman who was dressed in ancient...or old or even damaged full-body armor, and even her face was covered by a weird golden mask.
She was floating on the road she had to pass at this time, holding a large wooden bow in her hand, a leather quiver full of wooden arrows hanging from her waist, and two short knives also in leather sheaths.
Only the eyes of the woman's whole body were exposed. At this time, those eyes, which seemed to be carved out of frost, were full of warnings, and after shooting an arrow, she immediately drew out a wooden arrow and put it on the bow. Obviously───If you get closer, it will be more than a simple warning!
Bai Xiaoyu didn't want to challenge the other party's patience. She threw back the wooden arrow she had been playing with for a while, and said at the same time as the woman caught it, "Is this made of this big tree?"
The woman didn't reply, but the original tit-for-tat momentum was slightly subdued. She took back the wooden arrow and put down her long bow, repeating indifferently: "Leave quickly, this is not the place you should come to."
"Are you the guardian here?"
Bai Xiaoyu asked another question as if she didn't hear it, and then said without waiting for a reply, "Sure enough, this is not a secret realm at all, but a seal... right?"
"...This is not something you outsiders should care about."
The guardian of the ancient tree gave Bai Xiaoyu a cold look, and the atmosphere that had eased just now immediately became tense. Bai Xiaoyu was not unusual about this, but suffered from Wen Yu next to him.
Although the two didn't make a move, there was an aura confrontation. The invisible aura squeezed the space like a raging wave. It was impossible to ignore it like Her Majesty the Concubine. Sweating profusely, almost fainting!
It's a pity that no one cared about him at this time, Bai Xiaoyu tilted his head, and continued: "If my guess is correct, the general development of the matter should be like this────────────── under this giant tree, there is a powerful However, something went wrong with the seal, so that the power of the sealed thing gradually seeped out, which had a huge impact on the giant tree and the entire secret realm."
"The secret realm will be suddenly discovered by outsiders like us, and it should be related to the things that are sealed here. It makes sense for the secret realm to be blocked. Did you do it? In order to prevent the other party's power from completely penetrating Go out? And the dead bodies of those monsters around..."
When Bai Xiaoyu spoke, she kept looking at the guardian on the opposite side. Although the other party did not speak, she knew that what she said should be very close to the truth.
It is actually not difficult to analyze all this. After all, Xuanling Secret Realm is not a murder scene. There are people who pretend to be clues or deliberately induce them. All the clues here are clearly placed there. You only need to collect them and then can roughly be combined into the truth.
The guardian was still silent about this, and after a while, he said lightly: "The blockade has always existed."
The guardian's answer made Bai Xiaoyu thoughtful. The blockade has always existed, that is to say, it was not opened after seeing a problem with the seal. It was not to prevent the opponent's power from seeping out, but the opponent's power had already penetrated. out!
The guardian's words undoubtedly proved Bai Xiaoyu's guess, but it was very bad news, because it showed that the seal was already very dangerous, and the power of the sealed existence could even reach beyond the secret realm and open the gap!
and so……
"What is sealed under this giant tree?"
This is the real concern of Her Majesty the Concubine Shen. Even Wen Yu on one side quietly pricked up his ears, although he was so shocked by the news just now that he was speechless for a long time.
It's just that the guardian obviously didn't have any intention of replying, and his voice became colder and colder: "One last time—this is not something you should care about, leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"Leave quickly? Okay, the question is... how to leave? Where should I go?"
"..."
The secret realm is blocked, and the seal seems to be in jeopardy. The power of the sealed thing has radiated and polluted the entire secret realm and even spread outward. Where can we go under such circumstances?
"Could it be that you are willing to open the blockade and let everyone leave the secret realm?"
Not to mention that it is absolutely impossible for the guardian to open the blockade, even if she really decides to be a good person and open the secret realm to let those attracted here leave, Bai Xiaoyu doesn't think they will leave obediently.
The first is not getting enough benefits. Most people are obviously unwilling to take the risk and lie down for nothing. Secondly, do you say that there is danger if there is danger?Why listen to you!
It is impossible for the guardian not to know this, and in this case, it is even more impossible to open the secret realm. If this is the case... Then, before the problem of the seal is resolved, does it make any difference where to stay?
"Although I can try to leave here by myself, the movement and impact of such a strong blockade will definitely not be small, so I think that should not be what you want to see... After all, the situation is already very bad, isn't it? ?"
Bai Xiaoyu is willing to say this not because he is afraid of the other party, but simply because the interests of the two parties do not conflict, and they even share common interests in a certain way.
