Chapter 18 What can I do, I raised it
Zhao Qiankun raised his hand to burn off the bark nearby, then held the Longyuan Seven-Star Sword and inserted it into the charred tree trunk!
Puchi, the sword was not at the handle, Lao Zhao poured his internal force into it, shook the sword body suddenly, separated the wood fibers, exerted force on his wrist, and split open a slender hole!
This hand surprised Nangong Qiong. The Longyuan Seven-Star Sword was with him for many years. When he first came to the World Tree, he also used the world tree trunk to test the sharpness of the sword. The result was naturally the sword was harder, but the trunk was harder and dense. With his fourth-level wrist strength, he could only penetrate half an inch. If he chopped it, he would probably leave a scratch. However, Zhao Qiankun had a very big hole by inserting it and pulling it. This wrist strength was not comparable to that of him!
"Is it a fifth-level master?" Nangong Qiong was shocked: "But Brother Yu may not have such great strength, and the fire magic just now, is this guy a warrior or a mage?"
Nangong Qiong's heart was rising and falling, and Zhao Qiankun was still digging with one sword. No matter how strong he was, the length of his sword body was limited, and he could only penetrate three feet deep at a time. The branch was dozens of meters thick, and it took him a long time to dig with one sword.
Because I knew that the world tree was too hard and I was afraid that Nangong Qiong's sword would be damaged by using too much force, Lao Zhao also deliberately wrapped it around it with internal force, to protect the sword body, and to speed up the excavation! Not long after, he hollowed out most of the branch, which looked a little unable to support the branches and leaves at the lower end, and began to stagger...
"No, why didn't it?" When I was digging this point, I still couldn't see anything. Lao Zhao felt something was wrong. I couldn't cut this tree trunk.
"Did I find the wrong one?" Zhao Qiankun rubbed his chin and thought about it carefully. The direction of the map in his memory was still slightly different from the tree trunk, but the similarity was 90%. So Lao Zhao thought it was a mistake in painting the map... If it weren't for this, these dozen maps would match, that would be a coincidence...
"I said, what are you looking for?" Nangong Qiong asked, "If you can't find it, return the sword to me! If you break it, you can't afford to compensate me!" To be honest, seeing Lao Zhao dig wood with his treasure so roughly, Nangong Qiong felt a little distressed.
"It's unreasonable?" Zhao Qiankun frowned: "Did someone dig it away? There was no scar on the trunk..."
"You are not digging for insects, are you?" Nangong Qiong asked: "You can't dig around. The insects are alive and will move in the trunks. You have to find the passage it can nibble out!"
After hearing what he said, Zhao Qiankun's eyes lit up: "What did you say?"
"I said I could find out the traces of insect worms and dig them along, and I could find them!" Nangong Qiong curled his lips: "I said you have a childhood? Have you ever dug beetles?"
"Haha, you're right! You're alive!" Zhao Qiankun slapped his forehead, stood in the big hole dug with the Longyuan Seven-Star Sword, and began to dig in the direction of the end!
Nangong Qiong's words reminded Zhao Qiankun. Of course, he didn't know what he was going to dig, but the world tree he dug was alive! If it was alive, it would grow, so the position marked in the past should also move towards the end!
No wonder the map has subtle differences. It turns out that it is not the wrong drawing, but the world tree has grown up!
But how many years have passed since the drawing, how fast the world tree has grown, how long the time has lasted, Lao Zhao has no idea, so he can only dig in the direction to the end!
So the drawings have not changed much, so they shouldn't be too far...
He dug for several hours. Nangong Qiong's sword was in his hands and he didn't dare to walk, so he could only accompany him. There were giant insect monsters passing by halfway, and Nangong Qiong could only deal with it with naked hands.
He was interested in Lao Zhao's sword, but first he promised to borrow the sword, and with his arrogant personality, he couldn't speak and repent; secondly, even if he really regretted and wanted to grab it back, after seeing the ability to hollow out the branches of the world, Young Master Nangong knew that most of the time he could not beat them...
Finally, when it was dark, the sword in Zhao Qiankun's hand suddenly became empty, and he pried open it hard, and a hole appeared!
"Finished!" Zhao Qiankun was delighted, and he dug through the hole in a few seconds, and finally saw what was inside!
It was a white ellipsoid about 1.5 meters long. It looked like an egg, but with a light stab with a sword, the shell was soft. Lao Zhao vaguely felt that there seemed to be a rhythm of life inside, but it seemed to be dormant and very quiet.
"I've used up so much effort to dig an egg?" Lao Zhao thought he was hiding something magical treasure, but he didn't expect it to be such an unknown thing.
"Is this what you are looking for?" Nangong Qiong jumped down and raised his hand to touch it curiously, but as soon as he touched it, his whole body suddenly trembled!
Old Zhao hurriedly kicked him away. Seeing the boy's face turned awkward and panting, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong, are you electrocuted?"
"No, this thing... is so evil..." Nangong Qiong took several deep breaths before finally calming down: "It just ate me!"
"Have you eaten?" Lao Zhao didn't believe it: "This thing is toothless, how can you eat it?"
"If you don't believe it, touch it yourself!" Nangong Qiong snatched the Longyuan Seven-Star Sword from Zhao Qiankun's hand: "I'll tell you in advance that I won't save you! This thing is so terrible!"
"Look at your cowardly look!" Zhao Qiankun snorted contemptuously, raised his hand and placed it on the eggshell.
The moment he touched the eggshell, Lao Zhao felt that his life force was pulled into the giant dome by a powerful suction force!
No wonder that boy was scared like that when he touched him. This thing was simply a black hole. Most people probably would have to suck adults after touching him. He just lost some blood and was considered strong!
However, in front of Lao Zhao's infinite spirit stone, this little power is not enough! I just want to eat power, I can feed you until you die!
Seeing Zhao Qiankun gently stroke the eggshell, calm and composed, Nangong Qiong was also puzzled: "Don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Lao Zhao pretended to be naive: "No, what's wrong? Why did you react so much just now?"
"It's really okay?"
"It's really okay!" Old Zhao smiled wickedly: "If you don't believe me, please touch me again!"
Nangong Qiong really stretched out his hand again, but shrank back: "I believe in your evil spirit! You bastard are so bad!" As he said that, he raised his sword and slashed at the eggshell.
Zhao Qiankun was not willing to agree. He raised his hand and used Fu Yun's skills, and directly threw Young Master Nangong out and threw him into pieces.
"What trick do you guy do?" Nangong Qiong got up and was about to get angry, but saw Zhao Qiankun turning back and looking at him with a smile.
Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes showed a creepy aura...
Nangong Qiong felt a cool air rushing from the root of his tail to the top of his head. The anger in his heart disappeared. He put away the sword in disappointment and slipped away without saying a word.
Zhao Qiankun smiled and turned his head to continue looking at the giant dome, allowing him to absorb his power. Finally, after more than half an hour, the suction stopped, and the rhythm of life in the giant dome became more and more powerful, as if it was about to break out of the shell at any time.
"Is it going to come out finally..." Zhao Qiankun rubbed his hands and looked expectant, but he saw the eggshell suddenly tearing a small mouth, and transparent liquid flowing out from it. Then, a sharp claw with a horny shell sticking out from it!
Is it a bug?
Old Zhao was guessing, but saw three more claws sticking out, grabbing the soft eggshell like leather, pulling it apart with a tug, and then a huge head stretched out!
This is a strange head, the whole is oblong, with thick carapaces covered on the skull, divided into sections from front to back, with a few similar heads, but a single horn grows on the forehead, and this thing just broke the eggshell!
There are clusters of thick and long hair in the gap between each section of the carapace on this head. There is no obvious eye on the front face, but it is obviously visionary, because the moment he saw Zhao Qiankun, it opened its mouth and demonstrated!
The guy's mouth was roughly divided into upper and lower jaws like vertebrates, with sharp teeth inside, but there were large horizontal jaws like insects on his cheeks. His mouth roared as if it was divided into four petals, and a soft tongue flipped in it, which looked very terrifying.
"What a guy, are you considered a beast or a worm?" Zhao Qiankun complained heartlessly, but the monster was already impatient, opened his mouth and rushed towards Zhao Qiankun!
Old Zhao dodged away, and the monster hit the inner wall of the branch, and the whole horn above his head was inserted into the trunk. It can be seen how powerful the pounce was! Zhao Qiankun also saw its full picture:
It has a thin body with segments and carapaces, four slender forearms, huge and clever claws, and two hind legs that look like animals, with a pointed to the ground, and a long tail behind it. At the end of the tail is a sharp turtle, opening and closing like scissors.
"It really has the physiological characteristics of insects and vertebrates..." Lao Zhao smiled and said, "Why, do you treat me as your prey?"
The monster's head swayed, and the horn nailed into the trunk pried out the wood and pulled it out. This hand made Zhao Qiankun whistle. You should know that the trunk of the world is very hard, and it is already amazing when it can be inserted. It is not pulled out, but pried out. It is not ordinary in terms of power or the material of the horn. At least when Lao Zhao used Nangong Qiong's sword, he did not dare to be so bad, for fear of breaking it...
The monster roared, and the carapace behind it shook, and suddenly four transparent membrane wings stretched out from the gap, shaking its wings towards Zhao Qiankun. Old Zhao laughed when he saw this, and did not fight with it, but jumped out of the tree hole and flipped onto the branch.
The monster naturally flapped its wings and chased it out, but before it even flew up the branch, its body began to sway left and right without being obedient, smashing a leaf on one end, and then turned and pushed it into a branch. After finally pulling it out, it hit a huge man-eater flower obliquely, and was swallowed by the big flower.
Lao Zhao laughed loudly and said sarcastically: "Little kid, you want to fly here, you are a little tender!"
Just as I was smiling, I saw the cannibal flower suddenly explode, the monster rushed out, and the blue smoke was still coming out of my mouth...
"Oh, there is also magic attack?" Old Zhao clapped his hands. It seemed that I had hatched something amazing!
The monster learned his lesson this time, put away his wings and stopped flying, but used his six legs together, grabbed the bark and rushed towards Zhao Qiankun!
Old Zhao was afraid of him? He raised his hand and smashed a big fireball, and roared it and exploded the monster far away. By chance, it fell on a huge piece of resin!
The resin of the World Tree is not comparable to ordinary materials. Adventurers should be more careful when exploring the third layer. If they are stuck, it will be difficult for experts of the Tiger and Dragon level to break free. Next, they will face the siege of the nearby man-eating flowers, and many adventurers have fallen on it!
But this big monster is very comparable to that of ordinary people. Its body trembled and scattered branches. Facing the attacking cannibal flowers, it opened its mouth and sprayed out a huge translucent air cannon, which blew these deadly plants to pieces and splashed juice!
"Good guy!" Old Zhao was also excited, moved his feet and rushed towards the monster, poured his internal force into his palms, and patted his head on his head!
With a click, the monster was directly patted from the branches, smashing several tender branches of leaves and being stopped by a thick branch, and falling into a dizzy way.
Zhao Qiankun was not willing to let it go, so he followed him and raised his foot to kick the monster in the chest!
Unexpectedly, the monster actually reacted. When the four hands merged, he grabbed Lao Zhao's leg, swung it up and smashed it on the tree trunk, then threw it out, and was swallowed by a nearby cannibal flower!
Lao Zhao was hit with pain all over his body, his internal organs were knotted, and he regretted it. After all, it was hatched by himself. With the intention of subduing, he did not kill him, and deliberately kept his strength. But he didn't expect that this monster was stronger than he thought. He was hit by nothing and even counterattacked!
"It seems we have to increase our efforts!" Old Zhao spat, suddenly feeling his skin stinging and painful. He looked down and saw that the inner wall of the cannibal flower secreted digestive juice, which rushed towards him with barbs, as he was about to decompose and digest him!
Lao Zhao immediately shot a big fireball, exploded the cannibal flower and jumped out to stand on the trunk.
At this time, his clothes had been corroded and were covered with holes, so he simply tore them apart, leaving only the vest and shorts given by Xia Haishan, as well as the gun hood and bullet belt made of good leather.
Seeing that he was fine, the monster opposite roared again and rushed forward!
"Good guy, grandpa won't get you into obediently this time, I'm writing the word Zhao upside down!" Zhao Qiankun spat, rolled up his sleeves, and faced him!
Somewhere on the third floor, an adventure group was groping forward step by step, which was the Brutal Bear-level team that had been riding on the same cable car as Zhao Qiankun.
"Boss, it's so late, should we go back to the lower level first?" The deputy in the team advised: "The third level has not been cleaned up yet, so it's a bit dangerous..."
"If you retreat because you are afraid of danger, you are still an adventurer! Besides, you will reach the trunk of a tree after walking another two kilometers. You can go down after just one last time!"
The tall leader spoke with great righteousness, but the adjutant behind him muttered to himself: "I think the idle teleportation fee is too expensive..."
"What did you say?" The commander turned around and glared at him, scaring the deputy in a panic: "No... I didn't say anything..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly broke out from the front, accompanied by the fire that soared into the sky and the broken branches and leaves flying everywhere. During the explosion, a man wearing only vests and shorts bombarded fiercely with a monster he had never seen before. He passed by like the wind, and walked away with a series of explosions. Wherever he passed, he was in a mess...
The commander was stunned for a while and swallowed: "Or, let's teleport back..."
