"Since every floor is so dangerous, why do we still need to clean up monsters?" Nangong Qiong said curiously: "Isn't it better to climb up the trunk directly? After climbing up, the monsters below will not catch up."

"Of course not!" Nangong Li shook his head and said, "The environment of the crown will extend upward along the trunk for a period of time, so the layer owner is also an insect that adapts to the environment of the tree crown. As the saying goes, all things are mutually generated and restrained. No matter how poisonous the poison is poisoned, there must be an antidote within three steps. Therefore, what can restrain the layer owner is on the crown of the tree..."

Nangong Qiong suddenly realized: "So to climb up, you need to adapt to the environment of the canopy and find a way to restrain the master of the layer?"

"I will give you some bad reasons when I return to the association!" Nangong Li couldn't wait: "Now, hurry up and hone your skills!" As she said, she pointed to the bodyguards around her, "In the first three days, these experts will assist you. When you adapt to the environment here, they will withdraw. Next, you need to survive here yourself, without supplies and no one to help. If you can survive alone here for a month, your strength and mentality will definitely have a qualitative leap!"

After hearing his sister's promise, Nangong Qiong felt a sense of pride in his heart and walked towards the depths of the shadowy land.

But after just taking two steps, a huge black spider suddenly emerged from the shadow!

The torso of this spider is the size of a cow, with eight legs spreading, making it look even bigger!!

Facing the first monster that came, Nangong Qiong was not afraid and drew out his long sword to meet him!

Although this big spider is fierce, Nangong Qiong is not a weak person. He is at the fourth level and is flexible in shape. He avoids the spider's attack, flies the long sword and cuts off the spider's long legs. It doesn't take long to destroy the giant insect and penetrate it from the back with a sword, resulting in the life of the monster.

Nangong Qiong breathed a sigh of relief and looked confident: "This is the monster in the Shadow Land, but that's it..."

"If more than a dozen people rushed up together, can you still be so calm?" Nangong Li walked over, "The deeper you go, these poisonous insects are in groups, they..."

Halfway through, Nangong Li was suddenly stunned. She looked down at the giant spider's corpse with a surprised expression.

"What's wrong, Sister Li?" Nangong Qiong was puzzled.

Nangong Li frowned and waved to greet the bodyguards, "Look, is this the world tree species?"

After checking, several people finally confirmed: "This is not a world tree species. The signs of being assimilated by a world tree are very shallow. It should be that they just arrived in the shadow land shortly..."

"How could it be?" Nangong Li frowned. They came down from the city of trees, and there were cliffs not far behind them. Even if there were bugs from outside, they should not appear here...

"Is it a coincidence?" Nangong Li narrowed his eyes and told everyone to go deeper. Not long after, he encountered another attacking bug.

This time, Nangong Qiong didn't have to fight alone. Everyone worked together to kill the monster. After checking, they finally confirmed that this was not a world tree species...

Within the range of the Shadow Land, two monsters encountered in succession were all foreign, and the probability was not high...

The group continued to go deeper, and were attacked several times along the way, but they were all single bugs. And according to their inspection, they were all foreign bugs that had just entered the shadow land!

"What's wrong..." Nangong Li shook his head: "I haven't seen an authentic world tree species until now, and the density of insects is too small. Normally, after we go so far, we should have encountered many large waves of attacks..."

"City Lord...what should we do?" The bodyguard captain asked for instructions: "If you go further, you will enter the depths of the shadow land. You may encounter a large number of insects!"

"Continue to go deeper!" Nangong Li took out a magic scroll from his arms: "Don't worry, I teleport the scroll again. When I encounter a desperate situation, I can withdraw to Shuyin City at any time!"

The group continued to go deeper, and soon, they found the reason for the scarcity of insects...

About three kilometers away from the tree trunk, there are a large number of insect corpses, densely packed, layer by layer on moss hundreds of meters. According to certainty, these are standard world tree species. Looking at the traces of the corpse, some are flattened and torn by powerful violence, some are burned by high temperatures, and some are like mosquitoes slapped to death by someone, as thin as paper as if they have suffered a dimensional reduction blow...

To be honest, there were almost two or three thousand insects killed here. It seemed that they were coming from all directions, but no corpses of humans or other race adventurers were found...

"Can they... be these insects kill each other?" Nangong Qiong was also amazed by the tragic situation in front of him.

"Impossible..." Nangong Li shook his head: "Although there are examples of mutual killing between the world tree species, it is impossible for so many species to gather together. They must have been killed by a powerful team of adventurers... But killing thousands of bugs in one breath, what kind of strong man is this..."

"Sister Li, look ahead!" Nangong Qiong pointed to the front, and everyone took advantage of the night vision potion and the fluorescence of fungi. From a distance, they saw a mountain bag piled up by insect corpses hundreds of meters away...

Nangong Li led his people over, and the insect corpses here were built into the shape of graves by human evil. Although they were not as vast as they were just laid out, the number was probably only greater or less.

Everyone continued to go deeper, and soon found many places of worm corpses gathering. The closer they were to the trunk, the more and more worm corpses were, and finally, the pile under the roots of the trunk almost surrounded the trunk, for fear that tens of thousands of insects would die here.

"How could this happen..." Nangong Qiong was amazed at this. It took him a little trouble to kill a spider just now. According to Nangong Li, it was not a world tree species. Now the tens of thousands of insect corpses in front of him were all strengthened world tree species, and they were actually slaughtered to the point of being almost extinct?

"All world tree species have the highest goal of protecting the world tree!" Nangong Ri frowned and said, "So, the closer the invaders to the trunk, the more intense the counterattack of the insects will be. Here, the last bugs in the shadow land should be gathered..."

As he said that, Nangong Li reached out to touch the thick bark of the tree that was almost invisible with a curve: "Someone has extinct the insects in the shadow land..."

Just when Nangong Li and Nangong Qiong were in a mess under the roots of the world, Zhao Qiankun was taking a hot bath in the bathhouse in the tree city.

It has been a week since he started to learn to fly. In order to train better, he is closer to the trunk every day and endures stronger interference. Although there are always some eyeless bugs to disturb him, after Old Zhao cleans up them, his learning about flight has not fallen behind. At this point, he can finally fly smoothly within the range of the World Tree.

Of course, the speed is too slow, it feels like walking on a tightrope at high altitude. When flying, you have to adjust continuously and can only move step by step. Of course, he has no intention of flying up directly... No matter what, Zhao Qiankun is also the first person to take off within the World Tree!

"I just don't know how my flight skills are like after leaving the world tree range..." Zhao Qiankun clenched his fists: "I have worked so hard, my control should be strong enough..."

"Don't worry! I have to start climbing trees tomorrow!" Zhao Qiankun stretched in the pool: "I promised Jessica and the others to help before, and I also had a bet with the boy from the Nangong family, so I had to pick the fruit within three months!"

Lao Zhao talked to himself in the pool, and other adventurers in the bathhouse gave him a look of caring and mental retarded eyes.

After taking a shower, Lao Zhao went out for a meal. There was no good restaurant here, and he was even more lucky to have meat from other mainlands. He basically used local ingredients and made some dishes with insects, many of which were world tree species.

After drinking and eating, he had a good rest all night. The next morning, Zhao Qiankun came to the east of Chuyincheng according to the mission guide and the wallless gate next to the waterfall.

Outside the wallless gate, there are dozens of steel cables as thick as ordinary people's waists, pulled by huge winches, connecting the cliffs and the World Tree Canopy nearly 1,000 meters away. Each winch is led by several huge earth dragons, driving the iron car hanging on the steel cables to and from the World Tree and the Shade City. As long as you pay a little, you can take a cable car to the World Tree Level.

Because the bearing capacity of the steel cable and the power of the earthly dragon, adventurers who go to the canopy of the World Tree generally do not carry mounts or other heavier equipment. In fact, because the trunks of the World Tree are lush and have different thicknesses, and things that are too heavy cannot bear the details and can only walk on the thicker trunk, which seriously restricts the movement power, so adventurers generally do not bring large mounts. Of course, the chameleon mounts like Dragon Knight Ryan, who are particularly good at moving between branches is an exception.

Of course, if there is a special need, you must ship some big guys to go up, and there is also a special weight-bearing cableway. The cableway's steel cable is thicker than others, and the one that powers the winch is no longer the Earth Dragon, but the magic circle. Of course, it takes a considerable cost to start this cableway, so the cost of shipping large items is naturally not expensive.

After getting off the heels, Lao Zhao was alone. After paying the money and buying the ticket, he rested in the waiting area. Several lonely adventurers came to pay the money. Finally, a large team of twenty people came. After calculating the number of people, everyone boarded the next car that was coming.
