Chapter 1533 - Black Tree
"Let"s go!"
Hearing this, Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou rushed towards the arch Tang Huan pointed out without hesitation.
Seeing this, Tang Huan couldn"t help but smile slightly, a warm feeling rising from the bottom of his heart. When conducting matters of life and death, not everyone could unreservedly trust others.
The dozen or so of their friends who ran away before were the proof of that.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Tang Huan"s body moved slightly, following his shadow.
Not long after, the three of them entered the archway. With just a flash, the arched door disappeared, and the three of them appeared in an incomparably long and round pa.s.sageway.
The moment he arrived, the signs of his power dissipating came to a halt.
The three of them looked at each other, then floated forward, as if they were in a vacuum, as though there was no effort at all. However, the entire area was deathly silent, the people who entered the arched door before numbered in the tens of thousands, but other than them, there was no fourth person.
Whether it was Tang Huan, Gu Caiwei, or Tang Manrou, all of their hearts were filled with suspicion. Their vigilance and wariness had reached its peak.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
A few thousand meters later, a mournful scream was heard.
The originally white, round end of the tunnel had now become extremely clear. The densely packed figures of cultivators stood a kilometer away. Although one could not see their faces or expressions, one could feel an extremely strong sense of fear from their actions.
However, what they were afraid of was actually a huge black tree.
The tree was hundreds of meters tall, and the trunk stood upright like a giant pillar that supported the sky. Countless thick branches extended and slanted in all directions. There were no leaves on the tree, but countless long tendrils, whether thick or thin, hung down. They were like octopus tentacles as they crazily danced in the air, completely blocking this void pa.s.sage.
At the bottom of the giant tree, the dense roots stuck to the bottom of the circular pa.s.sageway. Two long, fiery red chains were actually coiled around near the roots. The other end of the chain seemed to have stabbed deeply into the circular wall of the tunnel, as if it was the chain"s existence that had locked the tree in that area.
"I don"t believe it!"
A loud roar suddenly exploded in the circular tunnel, and a tall figure shot towards the black tree like lightning, the golden blade in his hand danced crazily, the Strength Qi wreaked havoc, in an instant, it congealed into an almost invincible, terrifying tornado that rolled forward.
"Hu!"
With a sharp whistling sound, a black tree root was sent flying.
Wherever it went, the golden storm vanished into thin air. However, the black tree root continued forward. Its speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, it had caught the tall man. He only had time to let out a miserable shriek before the tall man"s body was covered by tree roots that filled the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the dark golden greatsword fell from the sky to the bottom of the pa.s.sageway. Along with it, a white skeleton and torn clothes also fell from the sky. That tall man"s flesh and even his soul was completely obtained by the black tree sucking.
At the sight of this scene, cries of surprise sounded out from the crowd ahead. Even Gu Caiwei and Tang ManRou who were beside Tang Huan felt their hairs stand on end.
They all knew the tall man who had just died. Although they did not have a good relations.h.i.+p with him, they were the same, both of them were from the Spring Dragon Immortal"s Gate, and that tall man was also a Sixth Heavenly Lord, regardless of whether it was cultivation or strength, he was not weaker than them. Looking at the skeletons at the bottom of the tree, there were at least a thousand dead cultivators in that short period of time.
"Junior brother Gu, can we make it?"
Tang ManRou swallowed her saliva with some difficulty as she mumbled. At the same time, she also turned around to look. It seemed that a large portion of the pa.s.sageway they had pa.s.sed through had disappeared, leaving only a short hundred meters. Even if they wanted to turn back, they would not be able to find a way out.
At this time, it seemed that he could only move forward.
However, there was a strange yet powerful black tree blocking their way. Just charging forward like that was no different from courting death. There was no way out in front and no way out in the back. The crowd was filled with pessimism and despair. All sorts of voices started to echo within the tunnel.
"I told you not to come this way, but you insisted on coming. It"s your fault, it"s fine now!"
"We have such a strange black tree here. I wonder what the situation is like behind the other eight gates?"
"It"s over, it"s all over. I"m afraid I"m really going to die here this time." That black tree, it is unknown how many roots it has, even if we were to charge it all up, it would be useless. "
"..."
"This... This … Are we really going to make it? "
Tang ManRou"s eyes were round and her voice was trembling. The black tree in front of her was too frightening. A single long beard was enough to easily kill a Sixth Heavenly Lord. The entire tree had such a long beard. If it didn"t amount to a hundred thousand, it would at least cost eighty thousand. How could a Heavenly Monarch possibly stop it?
Even if tens of thousands of Heavenly Monarchs swarmed forward, they would most likely be swallowed up by the giant tree.
"This really is dangerous."
Gu Caiwei shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Wuuuuuu ~ ~ ~"
Suddenly, a strange sound echoed in the pa.s.sage, the trunk of the huge tree shook, and the crazily waving long whiskers all rushed towards the ten thousand Celestial Lords at the same time, as though they wanted to capture all the cultivators in the pa.s.sage at one go, a terrifying pressure swept forward.
Tens of thousands of cultivators felt their hearts tremble as they desperately retreated.
Tens of thousands of people rushed forward, and ghostly wails and howls sounded one after another. Especially the cultivators closest to the giant black tree, they wished that their parents could grow more legs and run as fast as they could.
"Hualala ~ ~ ~"
At this moment, a deafening sound came from the bottom of the giant tree.
The two chains unexpectedly revealed a dazzling red glow. A thick black smoke began to rise from the spot where the chains and giant tree had clashed. Immediately after, the giant black tree trembled, and countless whiskers drooped down. That shocking power completely vanished.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of Tang Huan, Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou all lit up.
The black tree was clearly trapped within the tunnel. The two red chains had completely trapped it there, making it hard for it to move forward.
"Don"t be afraid! Don"t be afraid! That strange tree has been locked! "
"Haha, it can"t catch up."
"We won"t die, we won"t die."
"..."
When many cultivators noticed the abnormality of the black tree, they all cried out in surprise. After a long while, the pa.s.sageway finally calmed down a little. Tens of thousands of Heavenly Lords stared back at the towering tree with a look of relief on their faces.
