Su Yu stared deeply at the two of them. Given the current situation, he had no choice but to explain himself. He told them frankly, "After the sacrificial offering ended, the Heavenly Knife Region suffered heavy losses, and they wanted to get rid of me. Left with no choice, I was chased into the Desolate Evil Jungle. I was in a hurry just now, and I bumped into Wuxie by accident. That's the whole story."
Gongsun Wuxie crawled up, her big eyes bulging, her face flushed red, and it was hard to tell whether she was embarrassed or angry. She clenched her silver teeth and clenched her fists tightly. "Injured? You're going to die from a crash! I, I'm irreconcilable with you! "
She was almost driven mad by Su Yu.
"Whether you believe me or not is up to you." Su Yu looked at the two of them. "Can you tell me how you entered the Desolate Evil Jungle? You don't look like you were forced to enter. "
Upon hearing that, Fairy Ling believed him a little. Before they left, Su Yu had already pulled the score to more than 2,000 points. It was reasonable for the people of the Heavenly Knife Region to shed all pretense of cordiality on the spot.
"We have our own objectives. I'm just curious as to how you managed to reach the inner area by yourself." Fairy Ling questioned. They had entered and exited this place with the help of Daoist Yaomu's compass. Even so, they had encountered a few evil trees along the way.
How did Su Yu do it?
"The inner periphery?" Su Yu's eyes flickered slightly. They had a deep understanding of the Desolate Evil Jungle, so they could clearly distinguish the inner periphery.
After muttering to himself for a moment, Su Yu took out a bottle of golden sand and said, "These sands were left behind by Yaomu Daoren, and I followed their guidance to come here. I'm willing to share them with you, provided that you allow me to share some information with you."
Golden sand? Both of them didn't recognize the origin of the object, but they believed most of it. Hence, it was hard for them to believe that Su Yu had come here by accident.
"Dream on! Why should I share the news with you? "Gongsun Wuxie glared at Su Yu angrily.
Fairy Ling interrupted her, her beautiful eyes flashing, "What do you want to know?"
"Everything," Su Yu said.
Fairy Ling stared at the golden sand in Su Yu's bottle, pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Alright."
"We flipped through the ancient books and learned that the Desolate Evil Jungle came from the starry sky and has the ability to decompose everything." Fairy Ling said, "The reason why the winner of the sacrifice will receive pure energy is because the Desolate Evil Jungle decomposes the spiritual objects it sacrifices into pure energy. Most of it will be used for its own growth, and a small portion will be given to the person who makes the sacrifice."
"In order to find the source of this disintegration ability, we took the risk to enter. There are only two things that we know about this place. First, it is divided into the inner area and the outer area. The outer area is where the evil trees are. I believe you have seen them before. They have branches and vines that can absorb the spiritual energy of spiritual objects. They are dead Treants. After they died, their bodies were occupied by filthy and evil creatures. The inner periphery was the Wood Clan's territory, and there were often Ancient Bronze Tree Men patrolling the area. They were very powerful, with the lowest cultivation being a seventh-grade Almighty, and the highest being a ninth-grade Almighty! Once we encounter it, we will definitely die! "
"Secondly, once we pass through the inner area, we'll reach the Fountain of Life. That's the source of disintegration. Yaomu Daoist once obtained the Fountain of Life, so he was able to break through the shackles and reach the realm of Jiuzhou's King.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu understood. The Fountain of Life … It turned out that they had come for it!
The realm of Jiuzhou's King was too far away from Su Yu's, so he did not desire the Fountain of Life. However, since they had dared to enter, they must have a way to leave. This was what Su Yu valued the most.
"I understand. Before we leave the Desolate Evil Jungle, I hope we can trust each other. If you die, it will only bring me more harm than good," Su Yu said.
Fairy Ling said, "Likewise. If you die, I won't get any benefits. Instead, I'll have an Ancient Book of the Heart's Oaths that I can't complete for no reason. It'll be troublesome for my training. As long as you don't do anything that threatens our safety, I won't hurt you."
"When we came in, we used the compass that Yaomu Daoist once used. However, it's been a long time, so it's not very accurate. Along the way, there was a deviation, which put us in danger. If you have a more accurate method, you can show it to us." Fairy Ling put away the compass.
Su Yu glanced at it and was slightly delighted. In other words, as long as he walked in the opposite direction that the compass pointed out, he would be able to walk out of the Desolate Evil Jungle.
Now that he had nothing to worry about, Su Yu started thinking about the inner periphery. Since he had come all the way here, he was very curious about where the golden sand would take him.
After reaching an agreement, the group of people put aside their previous enmity and hurried on with Su Yu's golden sand.
Every time Su Yu released a grain of golden sand, they would chase after him with all their might.
When they couldn't catch up, and the golden sand disappeared into the mist, Su Yu would take out another grain.
In this way, although there were frequent accidents that caused them to be unable to catch up with the golden sand in time, Su Yu had a lot of golden sand, so he didn't get lost.
Fairy Ling's eyes lit up. "The golden sand is much more useful than the compass, and it's not afraid of the thick mist. You're lucky to have obtained the golden sand left behind by Yaomu Daoist."
Su Yu shrugged his shoulders and was about to reply when his face suddenly froze, and he gradually stopped in his tracks.
Fairy Ling also pulled Gongsun Wuxie back, a grave look on her face.
"The air has changed! It's much fresher, "Su Yu said.
Fairy Ling nodded slightly. "Indeed."
They noticed the subtle changes in their surroundings, and their hearts gradually became restless.
"That's because you've trespassed into my clan's Holy Land." A dull, obscure language suddenly came from thirty feet in front of them!
Fairy Ling and Gongsun Wuxie didn't understand it, but Su Yu did. It was the Mu language!
"Oh no, it's the ancient bronze tree men!" Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately recalled what Fairy Ling had said about the ancient bronze tree men patrolling the inner periphery.
Rustle!
There was a soft sound, like the sound of countless leaves shaking. Then, a cool breeze blew, blowing away the surrounding mist.
A thousand-feet-tall ancient bronze tree stood in the middle of the road, just thirty feet in front of them.
Su Yu and the others stood under the tree, looking as weak as ants.
The ancient bronze tree was emitting a bronze metallic luster. If not for the green leaves and tree veins, as well as the strong scent of wood, it would be hard to believe that it was a tree.
Even stranger, the Mu language reverberated from within the ancient bronze tree. "Those who trespass into my clan's Holy Land will die."
The ancient bronze tree exuded a soul-stirring scent, and its powerful spiritual pressure made Su Yu's blood boil, and the Vital Energy in his body went out of control.
Su Yu said in the Mu language, "Elder, we didn't mean to disturb the Holy Land, and we were forced to trespass. Please forgive us."
"Eh? You know the Mu language? "The ancient bronze tree was surprised." But you still have to die! "
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Fairy Ling's face fell, and she grabbed Gongsun Wuxie with one hand and Su Yu with the other. Her beautiful figure flickered as she retreated a thousand feet.
Just as they were about to continue retreating, another terrifying scent appeared behind them.
Beneath the yellow mist, a towering tree broke through the ground. It was also bronze in color, and it blocked Su Yu and the others' path of retreat.
Then, terrifying scents appeared from a few other directions, and seven or eight towering trees rose from the ground.
Su Yu and the rest of them were completely surrounded!
"Humph, how could we not know that you caused such a commotion in the periphery? We've been waiting for you here for a long time! "the first ancient bronze tree said coldly. They had been prepared.
Fairy Ling asked in a low voice, "What are they talking about?"
Su Yu repeated their words, and Fairy Ling's face fell.
Among the nine ancient bronze tree men, the weakest was a seventh-grade Almighty, and the strongest was the one who had spoken, an eighth-grade Almighty!
She could barely fend off one of them, let alone so many of them. She couldn't even escape.
Buzz!
At that moment, another ancient bronze tree man appeared from another direction.
A human figure was tied to its trunk by vines. It was none other than Hu Wangui, who had been dragged into the Desolate Evil Jungle with them!
In the end, he hadn't managed to escape.
Not a single bit of spiritual energy could be sensed from his body, and his body was shriveled like a withered tree. He was on the verge of death, and his aura was extremely weak.
It was hard to believe that he was the fifth-grade Almighty Hu Wangui.
"My lord, we've found the last one." The ancient bronze tree man left the shriveled Hu Wangui behind.
The first ancient bronze tree man said coldly, "Sucked dry by the evil tree? Well, plant a seed in his body to nourish the next generation of tree men. "
It meant that Hu Wangui's body would be used as the soil to cultivate the tree men's seeds.
Moreover, the essence of Hu Wangui's flesh would be sucked dry little by little while he was still alive, and the tree men would slowly die as if they were being tortured in hell.
Such a cruel method made Su Yu suck in a breath of cold air. However, in the eyes of the tree men, it was a matter of course. It was just like how humans killed living creatures and ate their flesh to replenish their hunger. It was a necessity for survival.
"What about them?" the ancient bronze tree man asked.
The eighth-grade Almighty ancient bronze tree man said coldly, "Since they're alive, they're obviously used to nurture the next generation of tree men. Plant a seed in their bodies."
"What did they say?" Fairy Ling asked blankly.
Su Yu repeated their words. Fairy Ling's scalp went numb when she heard it. She was both shocked and furious. She turned her gaze and led Gongsun Wuxie away. Even if they were to die, they wouldn't die in such a cruel way.
Pow!
However, a tree branch whipped Fairy Ling's body like a phantom, causing her to spit blood and fly backward.
At the same time, several branches coiled around her and Gongsun Wuxie, restraining them. They couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving." The leading ancient bronze tree man snorted coldly. "Capture that human too."
One of the ancient bronze tree men waved its branches and charged toward Su Yu.
Su Yu said, "Wait! If you kill me, who will save the tree men? "
Upon hearing this, the leader of the tree men sneered. "Save us? A lowly human? Haha … "
A dull voice reverberated in its body.
"Mark? Su Yu's enunciations were clear, and he spoke a few words in the Wood Clan's language.
The leader of the tree men's laughter stopped abruptly.
The surrounding tree men swayed as they discussed among themselves in shock.
"The lost ancient Mu language!"
"Even we tree men don't know much about it. How does a human know about it?"
The leader of the tree men said coldly. "Human, why do you think I'll let you go just by reciting a few lost ancient Mu language?"
Su Yu replied calmly, "If not, what's the purpose of setting up the sacrificial altar?"
What he had just recited were the golden words of the forty-fifth round of the sacrificial altar. Although Su Yu didn't necessarily recognize all of them, he had memorized them all.
"You tree men, if you really want the sacrifice, you can just plunder it yourself. No one in the Jiuzhou continent can stop you, so why bother setting up the sacrificial altar? If I'm not mistaken, the sacrifice is just the surface. What you really want is for a human to decipher the ancient words on the sacrificial altar." Su Yu's eyes were filled with a profound light of wisdom.
The group of tree men fell silent, as if Su Yu had seen through them.
"Human, what makes you think that you're saving us tree men? There are thousands of races in the starry sky, and you humans are just low-grade living creatures …" the leader of the tree men said in an unkind tone.
Su Yu laughed. "Then, why did the high-grade tree men fall into the Jiuzhou continent and get trapped here, unable to leave?"
The leader of the tree men was speechless.
After a long silence, Fairy Ling and Gongsun Wuxie felt that the tree men were acting strangely, and they were extremely surprised. What did Su Yu say to them?
"Fine, I won't plant any seeds in you for the time being. Come with me to meet Lord Yinmu," the leader of the tree men said.
Su Yu pointed at Fairy Ling and Gongsun Wuxie. "Let them go too."
"Human, don't push your luck. Trespassing into the Holy Land has always led to death, and there's no exception for all living creatures. You might even survive, so how can you care about them?" The leader of the tree men was displeased.
Su Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest and stood still. His meaning was obvious. He wouldn't leave until the tree men were released.
He was determined to win the tree men!
The leader of the tree men said, "Who are they to you? If they aren't important people, there's no need to let them go."
They weren't very familiar with Su Yu, and they could only be considered acquaintances. Since they were exploring together, Su Yu had no reason not to save them.
"They are important people." Su Yu nodded.
The leader of the tree men looked at them and said, "I understand now. They are female, and you are male. They are your mating partners, right?"
Su Yu was startled. Wait, what do you understand?
"Let them go," the leader of the tree men said. At the same time, he said to Su Yu, "Tell your mating partners that if they dare to run away, they'll be pulled to plant trees immediately."
Fairy Ling and Gongsun Wuxie were released, and they were bewildered. They flew to Su Yu's side, not daring to act recklessly.
"Su Yu, what did you say to these tree men? Why did they let us go? " Gongsun Wuxie looked at Su Yu, feeling extremely curious. Although she was still hostile toward Su Yu, she couldn't help but ask.
Su Yu smacked his lips and wondered … Should I tell them that the tree men consider them my wives? Oh, no, my mating partners?
When this thought appeared in his mind, Su Yu shuddered. He didn't want to do that, as neither of them had a good temper. So, it wouldn't be a big deal to hide it from them.
"I just promised to make a deal with them. I told them that you were my friends, and they would let you go for now," Su Yu said calmly. "From now on, don't act recklessly unless you're in danger."
Gongsun Wuxie looked at Su Yu suspiciously. "Really? Why do I feel like you're lying? "
Su Yu felt guilty, so he pretended that he didn't hear her.
Fairy Ling nodded earnestly. "Fine, if you can really turn the situation around, the Tianya Auction House will owe you a favor."
"Human, bring your mating partners, and follow me to meet Lord Yinmu," the leader of the tree men said.
Su Yu curled his lips. "Can you change the way you address them? Mating partners are only for animals, and they aren't suitable for humans."
"Sure, call them estrus partners …" the leader of the tree men said.
