Hundreds of meters underground, the black yak grimaced in pain as he dug out another rhombus-shaped crystal from the wound on his butt. He was so angry that he wanted to curse out loud.
He had dug out a total of four since the beginning!
"This is infuriating!" He was so angry that white smoke was coming out of his nostrils. He had almost been killed by the silver walnut and was covered in wounds. He was so unlucky even after escaping into the depths of the earth.
Yellow Cattle took the red crystal and began to study it. The item was simply too resplendent with lingering scarlet clouds. It was like a cut diamond sparkling under the sun.
Chu Feng looked at the black yak's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but want to laugh.
"This is mutant soil, but it has been nourished by the spirit blood of experts in the past. It contains an astonishing amount of life energy," Yellow Cattle whispered.
"Can we absorb it?" Chu Feng whispered.
"No." Yellow Cattle shook his head.
The black yak was immediately disappointed. His dark face was filled with resentment.
However, Yellow Cattle's eyes were still bright and excited. He said, "There must be divine roots here. These crystals were laid down by someone. Perhaps we'll find something if we dig all the way."
He told the two that this item was specially used to cultivate divine plants.
The three carefully dug into the soil behind the black yak's butt and found a few beautiful and resplendent red crystals.
Chu Feng didn't stand on ceremony. He put them away because he felt that they would be very useful to the seed in the stone box.
They dug all the way, moving rapidly underground in search of divine roots.
"The direction is wrong. According to the layout of the ground, I think we should dig north!" Yellow Cattle whispered because he had thought of that small tree.
They were in no hurry to escape. They didn't want to leave!
…
The sacred medicinal garden was a complete mess. Horns, feathers, and bones were strewn with blood. More than eighty percent of the beast kings had been killed.
This was a tragedy that would have far-reaching effects. It was destined to shake the entire world!
"You guys are so ruthless!" One of the beast kings was still alive, but he couldn't move. All four of his limbs were missing, and the lower half of his body had disappeared.
Pfft!
The Chilin King walked over and swung his snow-white longsword, decapitating it without the slightest hesitation.
"As a fellow human, please save me." Not far away, a human King was lying on the ground. His body was riddled with holes and his blood stained the ground red. He looked at Ovidius with a look of longing.
Ovidius, clad in radiant armor, walked over with his sword in hand. Without saying a word, he swung his resplendent sword and chopped off his head.
"You are all devils! Why are you treating us like this!?" A king level entity shouted in despair.
Regardless of whether they were begging or cursing, they were all mercilessly killed. Ovidius and the Chilin King were cold and merciless. They didn't care about them at all and directly dealt the finishing blows.
Blood flowed and the ground glowed faintly. Strand after strand of blood converged and extended towards the depths of the Sacred Medicinal Garden.
After the creatures in this area died, the spiritual blood automatically condensed and emitted brilliance, as if it was being summoned by something.
In the depths of the sacred medicine garden, a small boundary reappeared. Inside was a bright and resplendent little tree. It emerged from underground and once again appeared on the surface. Blood and other things gathered towards its roots.
At this time, a bird king woke up. Its whole body was in intense pain. After seeing the scene of carnage, it ignited its own essence blood and rushed into the air in an attempt to escape.
Unfortunately, its speed was too slow. The Chilin King hurled out a snow-white saber and pierced through its head. It immediately let out a miserable shriek and fell to the ground.
The sacred medicinal garden was a scene of blood. Even the surviving King level entities couldn't escape the fate of being dealt the finishing blow.
In the end, the place became completely silent.
Corpses were piled up everywhere. It looked like hell and the sacred medicinal garden was dyed scarlet.
"Where's that human?" The Chilin King asked. He had a head of long scarlet hair and a face like suet jade. He was handsome but also cold. He stood amidst the corpses with a murderous look.
He was looking for Chu Feng but couldn't find any corpses. At this level, even if he had been blasted into pieces by the silver walnuts, there should still be some remains.
"There's a fish that slipped through the net!"
In truth, the others were also frowning. They had already begun to move out of the medicinal garden and began a carpet search.
"There's one here!" someone shouted.
Even under such circumstances, there were still some experts who managed to survive and sneak into the divine city to escape. Now, they had been discovered.
"Kill!"
Ovidius took large strides and chased after them personally with the Radiant Sword in hand.
Sounds of battle could be heard in the distance. Sword light shot into the sky.
"There's one over there too!"
The Chilin King heard the news and also chased after them.
The ground of the medicinal garden was littered with corpses. It was like a scene from hell at dusk, causing people to tremble in fear.
Apart from a select few, more than ninety percent of the kings had died here. This was bound to shock the world.
Hundreds of meters underground, Chu Feng and the others dug all the way. Following the direction of the ground, they actually headed towards the location of the little tree.
Along the way, Chu Feng found dozens of crystals on his body, emitting dense vitality. This delighted him greatly.
"Ah, we can't dig any further!"
A mysterious energy pervaded the air in front of them, forming a barrier of light.
"There's even a barrier underground in this damned place. We can't go in," the black yak cursed.
Right now, they were definitely in a dangerous situation, but they were still not flustered.
"I still want to do something big!" The black yak was dissatisfied.
"Continue digging!"
They quickly took action around this place, digging out a large barrier of light, searching for a weak point, hoping to break through.
Ding!
Chu Feng's flying sword was obstructed by an extremely hard object while digging.
A broken spear had pierced through the barrier and was embedded there. Apart from that, there were also a number of arrows embedded in the barrier.
A battle had taken place here in the past, and these weapons had pierced through the barrier.
"The Vatican is truly mysterious!" Chu Feng commented.
"This is a part of the Sacred Medicinal Garden. The barrier is protecting a certain sacred tree. Actually, when the world recovers, there will be more than one tree in the depths of the garden. There will be other barriers," Yellow Cattle informed.
"Eh, we might be able to go in!"
The barrier that had been pierced by the weapons was extremely unstable. No one had come underground for thousands of years, and the barrier had always been pierced by the weapons.
"Swoosh!"
In the end, they actually managed to squeeze through the barrier and successfully set foot in the mysterious Pure Land.
"Be careful, don't go the wrong way. We'll be in big trouble if we encounter those ancient trees with angels growing on them!"
That was because they had seen two small barriers in the depths of the Sacred Medicinal Garden, and one of them was extremely dangerous.
"We've dug up a withered root!" The black yak was bewildered.
There was a giant root within this barrier. It was completely withered and devoid of vitality. Who knew how many tens of thousands of years it had been buried here?
Yellow Cattle's expression was solemn as he said, "This is the true root of a sacred tree!"
The three of them surrounded it and kept digging. In the end, they saw a snow-white root, connected to this withered and huge main root, extending towards the ground.
During this process, Chu Feng had collected hundreds of red crystals. The pouch he carried with him was almost full.
They followed the snow-white root upwards and finally broke through the soil layer. They smelled fresh air and an astonishing fragrance.
At the same time, they felt their hair stand on end. There were blood, scales, horns, and feathers in the soil.
"It's indeed that brightly colored little tree!"
There was a dazzling little tree on the ground. The entire tree was sparkling and translucent. At this time, they were very close to it and could see flower buds growing on it.
"What a pity, it's too small!" The black yak swallowed his saliva.
There were five flower buds on it, each of them the size of a longan fruit. It seemed as though they had just grown not too long ago and were still some time away from blooming.
"Eh, it's growing bigger?"
The three were astonished. The flower buds on the brightly colored little tree were swaying and growing bigger. Although the speed wasn't very fast, it was indeed a transformation.
"Blood!"
They could feel the blood in the soil being absorbed by the little tree.
At the same time, they cautiously sized up the surroundings. Through the barrier, they could vaguely see piles of corpses in the distance. They were immediately horrified.
So many king level entities had died?
This was going to shatter the heavens. The whole world was going to be shaken!
"This won't do. This place is too dangerous. We can be discovered at any time. We have to leave quickly!" Chu Feng said.
"But the flower is still growing." The black yak's eyes were almost emitting green light. This trip to the Vatican had caused him to have a bellyful of pent-up anger.
Originally, he wanted to seize the fortune but found out that it was all a scam. Not only did he fail to pick the true divine fruit, but he also almost lost his life here.
"The flower buds are also effective. These are produced by the holy tree and have been watered with all kinds of spiritual blood. The medicinal effects are terrifying!" Yellow Cattle said.
He also felt that it was too dangerous to wait any longer. It was better to pick the five flower buds immediately and run away without caring about the consequences.
The black yak was unwilling to give up. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Wait a bit more. Every time the flower buds grow a bit, the medicinal effects will increase. Perhaps we can sever more than two shackles in one go!"
In truth, although Yellow Cattle and Chu Feng wanted to leave rationally, they couldn't move their feet. They really wanted to see the little tree's flower buds bloom.
If possible, they wanted to wait for a long time after absorbing the pollen. They wanted to see it bear fruit before picking it too.
Unfortunately, they didn't have that much time to wait.
"The so-called holy tree is actually a wisp of vitality emerging from a withered main root?" Chu Feng asked.
"All the famous mountains and ancient trees in the world are like this. The so-called holy tree is only in its initial stages of recovery. Its medicinal effects can't compare to a mature tree, but it's enough for the evolution of the current species, "Yellow Cattle said.
"Ah …"
Miserable cries could be heard from the distant divine city. The sounds of battle had completely disappeared.
"This won't do. Let's pick it. It'll be too late if we don't leave now!" Chu Feng said.
Those people would definitely return in a while!
