Picked up a deep sea lord

After hearing Ye Jian's words, the pitch-black ancient tree fell silent.

Ye Jian shook Luo Ling's hand lightly.

Dark ancient tree: "?"

It seemed to be offended, its branches trembled, and it spit out a thin and cold voice: "What you have will eventually be lost!"

As soon as the words fell, Luo Ling's eyes suddenly turned cold.

The sea rolled up huge waves, and Ye Jian's black line also fell like thunder.

The battle started in the space, but it was just a few short fights. The pitch-black ancient tree shrank and collapsed silently, disappearing in front of the two of them.

Ye Jian frowned slightly.

Not right.

They didn't feel like killing each other, and even his attack didn't seem to land on that ugly old tree.

Luo Ling responded to Ye Jian's doubts: "An illusion."

Ye Jian was thoughtful: "It, like you, can create illusions."

Along the way, this sense of déjà vu became more and more intense.He always felt that Luo Ling and the owner of this illusion had something in common.

If the dark ancient tree has inherited the power of the gods, does that mean that Luo Ling also has the power of the gods?

...the mighty mermaid.

These thoughts crossed Ye Jian's mind, but the most urgent task now was to find the dark ancient tree, so he poked Luo Ling: "Can you find its trace?"

Luo Ling: "Its breath has disappeared, but this is a deep illusion, close to the core."

"I can destroy this place."

The cold voice fell, and the space shook.

Cracks stretched across the huge space, everything in front of me collapsed inch by inch, and the wave of destruction swallowed everything.

Within the space, the sky collapsed, and the sun and the moon changed color.Ye Jian beside Luo Ling was safe and sound, and was not affected in the slightest.

Even so, Luo Ling raised his hand around Ye Jian's waist without saying a word.

The space collapsed in an instant, and the ground under their feet could no longer support one of them.Luo Ling hugged Ye Jian and led him down lightly.

They came to the bottom of the illusion, which is also the core here, the deepest space.

After all the camouflage was torn away, this illusion finally revealed its true face.

——A dark and condensed space, black carbon-like tree roots coiled and entangled, flowing with faint fluorescence.

The fluorescence gathers into countless small tributaries and flows in all directions. At the end of each river, there are silent people with their eyes closed.

Among them, at the top of a tributary in the middle, a middle-aged man with a face as pale as paper is covered with tiny tree roots, as if buried among the roots.

Ye Jian heard Luo Ling say indifferently: "That S-level watchman of Shenting, Zhang Daming."

Ye Jian was a little strange when she heard Tang Bucheng mention this name: "Didn't he already—"

Luo Ling's eyes brushed against Zhang Daming's face, and his voice was emotionless: "He is no different from a dead person now."

"As an S-level watcher, his life is extended by this tree just to absorb the energy in his body."

"Or, that tree needs his body for its own use."

Ye Jian frowned slightly.

Luo Ling's words pointed out the key point, and he immediately remembered the change in the temperament of the leader of the forbidden area, Arthur, during the conversation between Tang Bucheng and Chen Rao.

There were two S-level watchmen in the Shenting back then, one was Zhang Daming, and the other was Noren, the leader of the Shenting.They were all dead to the outside world, but now, Zhang Daming appeared under the forbidden area...

Ye Jian pondered, "Is Noren really dead?"

Mentioning that name, Luo Ling's voice was cold for a few moments: "I killed it with my own hands."

The reason why Zhang Daming is here is because he let the dying Zhang Daming go away.

Zhang Daming is an older brother who adopted a younger brother.At that time, he begged Luo Ling to let him take another look at his brother.

Luo Ling agreed, because at that time, Zhang Daming's death was a foregone conclusion. He didn't even need to raise his hand, and the life of this S-level watcher would not last half an hour.

But now, Zhang Daming lying here seemed to be heaving a sigh of relief, but he was no different from a corpse.

Ye Jian was thoughtful, her gaze fell in all directions.

If he guessed correctly, the people lying here should all be watchers.

Maybe it's the watchman of the forbidden area, maybe... someone outside the forbidden area who has absorbed Ning Hejing.

Ye Jian raised his hand, black lines lingered between his fingers, and swam out.

Just when the black silk thread was about to touch the trapped watchmen, in the dark space, the mutation regenerated.

boom -

The ground trembled with the tree roots, and the tops of all the fluorescent tributaries were supported by huge giants, like a giant, lying down on their own territory.

The pitch-black ancient tree stretched out the branches that occupied all the space, revealing a huge and terrifying entity.The human face protrudes between the tree trunks, with a pair of slender eyes with no whites open.

The cold voice echoed in the space again: "Those who blaspheme should be punished by God!"

Ye Jian: "Is this the only thing you can say?"

The voice fell, and the battle started again.

Before, they were just fighting against illusions, but now facing the main body, Ye Jian discovered that this ancient tree was actually very strong - far stronger than any enemy they had encountered before.

Moreover, Ye Jian was familiar with its power, and he even vaguely felt that this ancient tree was like a composite of him and Luo Ling.

What kind of connection exists between them?

As the battle progressed, Ye Jian's thoughts were concentrated, but her expression did not show the slightest bit.

Suddenly, a flaw appeared in the pitch-black ancient tree.

Ye Jian and Luo Ling didn't hesitate, seized this opening, and attacked like a torrential rain.

The branches of the ancient tree trembled and weakened visibly with the naked eye.But in the next second, its gnarled roots seemed to be alive and quickly entangled the unconscious watchmen, shining brightly, flowing towards the ancient tree in the middle.

In a blink of an eye, the branches of the pitch-black ancient tree stretched out again, and tiny black crystals actually grew out between the dry branches.

The spar shone with a dark luster, and Ye Jian's eyes flickered for a moment, suddenly feeling dizzy.

Luo Ling: "Brother?"

Ye Jian: "It's okay."

The dizziness was very slight, so his expression remained the same without any change.

Luo Ling frowned slightly.

Ye Jian took Luo Ling's hand reassuringly, and her eyes fell between the flowing fluorescent tree roots.

This pitch-black tree is actually absorbing the power of other watchmen.

As if seeing his thoughts, the ancient tree smiled sinisterly: "This is only a part. In other places that you can't see, there are more believers providing me with energy."

Luo Ling's eyebrows and eyes were cold, something was wrong with Ye Jian's condition, and he didn't want to waste time here, so he said, "Take it away with one blow."

Ye Jian said: "Be careful, it may deliberately expose more flaws."

Luo Ling: "Yes."

The battle continued, but after only a few minutes, Ye Jian felt something was wrong.

The branches of the pitch-black ancient tree trembled, the tiny crystals shook like leaves, and countless light spots fell into his eyes... He was a little dizzy.

Not just dizziness, but a familiar pain in the forehead.It was as if the frozen lake had been forcibly pried open, and the pain spread like cracks.

A cold hand clasped Ye Jian's wrist, and Luo Ling's deep voice said, "Brother, I'll take you away."

The battle couldn't end in a short time, his Ye Jian was the most important.

Ye Jian: "I..."

He wanted to respond, but at this moment, between the branches of the dark ancient tree, the spar shook violently, and the dazzling light flickered.

Ye Jian pressed her forehead.

The pain in his brain seemed to explode, Ye Jian was in a daze, his consciousness sank, and he was completely absent-minded for several seconds.

When I came back to my senses, everything I could see was darkness.

The monstrous darkness swept over, Luo Ling hugged him and fell, the wild laughter of the pitch-black ancient tree resounded through the space.

"I am of the same origin as you, and I am the complete one!"

"Every attack you make will only make me stronger!"

"Die here...and be devoured by me!"

The sharp voice echoed in the ears, piercing the eardrums.Ye Jian didn't care about that much, and said in a low voice, "Luo Ling?"

Luo Ling hugged him tightly without saying a word.

Ye Jian's heart suddenly turned cold.

The boundless darkness surged wantonly, baring its teeth and claws, like a hungry beast, trying to devour them.

The pitch-black ancient tree laughed wildly, as if it had foreseen its own victory.However, at the moment when the darkness was about to touch Ye Jian and Luo Ling and drown them——

Ye Jian raised her eyes, a golden glow suddenly flashed in her dark eyes.

The darkness stagnated in an instant, and the voice of the pitch-black ancient tree paused, as if out of control: "What! You—"

.

Twilight Court, Forbidden Headquarters.

The snow-white palace under the sun quietly cracked a fine line.

boom -

The mutation happened in an instant.

As if an earthquake and heaven collapsed, amidst the loud bang, the headquarters of the Forbidden Land collapsed inch by inch, and a huge crack leading directly to the bottom suddenly appeared.

In the blink of an eye, the forbidden area was in ruins, but it did not affect the innocent people around.

"..."

Smoke and dust overflowed, and a passerby who was safe and sound approached tremblingly, and then opened his eyes wide in horror: "What is that?"

Many, more passers-by gathered around, chattering in disbelief: "What is that?"

-

Tick.

In the silent world, there seems to be drops of water dripping from my ears.

tick tock...tick tock...

Ye Jian opened his eyes when the third drop of water fell.

As if her brain had been penetrated, she was in excruciating pain, but Ye Jian didn't care so much, and immediately went to find her mermaid——

Between his palms, a small black fish curled up into a small ball.

Ye Jian: "..."

Ye Jian poked the little black fish wordlessly.

The little black fish was groggy and motionless.

Ye Jian: Oops, I passed out.

But... Fortunately, this little fish is still by his side.

Ye Jian breathed a sigh of relief, carefully held the little fish, and forced herself to sit up.

This action caused another burst of dizziness, and Ye Jian's eyesight was in a trance. After concentrating for a few seconds, he barely saw the scene in front of him clearly.

The closed cave is cut off from the sun, but there is a brighter luster than the sky.

It was countless sparkling crystals.

——The beautiful old tree studded with crystal stones spreads its crown, silently shining down the brilliance.

Ye Jian was slightly taken aback.

In the next second, the ancient tree studded with crystals shrank a little.

Zoom out a little more.

In the blink of an eye, it shrank into a thin sapling, no more than half a meter high.

The star-like crystals disappeared, and this small sapling only had two thin branches, with only one thin leaf on its head.

Ye Jian was silent, vaguely feeling that the scene in front of her looked familiar.

The young sapling bent slightly, and the only small leaf shook Ye Jian lightly.

Ye Jian heard a voice as delicate as a sprout falling in her ear: "Long time no see."

Obviously, I have only met a few times, but when the little sapling uttered these words, it seemed like a friend I hadn't seen for many years.

Ye Jian looked at the young sapling quietly, and after a few seconds, raised her hand to touch its only leaf: "You were not like this in the cave before."

The little sapling sighed, "Because that's my last bit of strength."

Probably trying to save time, before Ye Jian could say anything, it quickly added: "You, like me, have incomplete strength."

"Now that the enemy is at hand, you'd better restore your original strength as soon as possible."

Ye Jian: "What should I do?"

The leaves of the sapling leaned towards the wilting little black fish in Ye Jian's palm: "This little fish—"

Ye Jian corrected: "He is my big fish."

The little sapling let out a slow "oh".

Then he said: "Your mermaid has another part of the power left by the gods."

"You can kill him to gain this power."

Ye Jian: "?"

"It's cruel, then eat him, that's okay." The young sapling shook the leaves on its head, and said innocently, "Anyway, he is very small, and he only takes one bite, and it will be very fast."

Ye Jian: "..."

Ye Jian raised her hand expressionlessly.

Pull out the only leaf on the top of the young sapling.

little sapling:"?"

little sapling:"???"
