"We, the Leaf Spirits, have always had a tradition of offering sacrifices to the Divine Tree. Every year during the spring equinox, we would go to the Divine Tree through the secret passage in our clan to offer sacrifices. However, we have never seen the Divine Tree Original Liquid," Yuanyuan said doubtfully.
"Any Divine Tree in the world must be able to sense the sun and the moon, bear the fate of the earth, and intersect with the Yin and Yang of the earth veins. Therefore, there must be Original Liquid. However, the Original Liquid of the Ginkgo Divine Tree may be hidden deeper, which is why you have never seen it …" Wu Man Er said.
"Well, if there is, maybe we can go directly to the bottom of the tree through the secret passage in our clan. Then, we may be able to avoid the Great Monster's surveillance, and we won't have to fight anymore," Yuanyuan said.
Shen Luo nodded and said, "That would be the best. No matter what, we are already here. We have to try. "
Wu Man Er hesitated for a moment and nodded. After all, she didn't really want to give up.
The group set off again. Under Yuanyuan's lead, they arrived at the Leaf Spirits' territory.
Yuanyuan returned to her old home. Looking at her devastated home, her eyes instantly turned red.
Shen Luo's gaze swept across the originally small and exquisite wooden houses. At this moment, most of them were in a dilapidated state. He could imagine what had happened here.
He sighed in his heart. If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have killed the Nine-Headed Bug.
Wu Man Er held Yuanyuan in her hands and comforted her in a low voice.
Yuanyuan wiped her tears and quickly returned to normal. She then led them to an ancient tree that was so wide that it would take two people to hug it.
Shen Luo looked at the bowl-sized hole in the ancient tree and couldn't help but laugh.
Previously, he only thought that it would be safe to go through the secret passage with Yuanyuan. He didn't think that the secret passage of the Leaf Spirits' tribe would be so wide.
Yuanyuan was also stunned in the air. She didn't know what to do.
"It doesn't matter. When you mentioned it earlier, I had already thought of this." Wu Man Er smiled and said without a care in the world.
After saying that, she turned her wrist and two yellow pills appeared in her palm.
"Our Divine Wood race often needs to investigate the roots of the divine tree. In order to not destroy the original earth meridians, the elders in the race developed this' Body Inch Pill. 'After consuming it, one's body will shrink. However, you still need to use your magic power to maintain it. Otherwise, it will return to its original appearance in just a moment, "Wu Man Er said.
"It's great to have this elixir. I was thinking that I might have to use the Ground Burrowing Spell to follow you." Shen Luo smiled and took the elixir from Wu Man Er's hand. Then, he put it into his mouth.
A yellow halo burst forth from his body, enveloping his entire body.
As soon as Shen Luo made a sound of surprise, his body began to shrink. In just a moment, he turned into a little person about an inch tall, even half a head shorter than Yuanyuan.
Wu Man Er quickly swallowed the elixir and finished shrinking her body.
Yuanyuan flew up, and entered the tree hole first. Shen Luo and the other two followed closely behind her, and also jumped into the tree hole.
After entering the tree hole, they fell straight down. After falling for more than a thousand feet, they finally reached the bottom.
In front of them, there was a horizontal tunnel slanting downward.
Yuanyuan's body was shining with green light. She walked in the front, while Shen Luo and the other two channeled their magic power to maintain their bodies and followed behind her.
The three of them could only pass through the narrow secret tunnel. Their speed was not very fast.
Shen Luo silently calculated the time in his heart. He realized that they had walked for a whole day, but they still hadn't reached their destination.
"Brother Shen, Sister Man Er, we're almost there," Yuanyuan said as she walked in front.
"Yuanyuan, why didn't your race build your land near the divine tree? Why is it so far away?" Wu Man Er asked doubtfully.
"Because the Divine Tree has always been the spiritual belief of the various clans in the Dreamy Cloud Swampland, no one is allowed to occupy the Divine Tree privately. Even building a clan's territory near the Divine Tree is not allowed. This was originally a matter of convention. Therefore, the actions of that Great Demon Beast have actually incurred the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people," Yuanyuan explained.
Shen Luo actually knew that it was different from Wu Man Er's race occupying the divine tree. In the Dreamy Cloud Swampland, anyone who wanted to build a land near the divine tree had to rely on their strength.
At this moment, Shen Luo and Wu Man Er suddenly stopped at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Yuanyuan was startled. She immediately lowered her voice and asked.
Shen Luo raised his head and looked up. He frowned and said, "There is a strong fluctuation of spiritual power above. It seems to be the base of a magic array."
"This is a bit strange. Since he wants to protect the divine tree, why didn't he set up a restriction underground?" Wu Man Er asked doubtfully.
"This is nothing. They set up a magic array to prevent the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit from scattering when it ripens. Instead, they hope that some daring demons will covet it and come to steal it. When they hunt us down, they never show mercy. "Yuanyuan gave the answer.
Shen Luo pondered for a moment. Thinking about the arrogant character of the Nine-Headed Bug, he was not surprised.
After a short pause, they continued on their way.
Not long after, they found that the passage was blocked by a greenish-brown root.
Seeing this, Yuanyuan was not anxious. Instead, she was happy. She said happily, "It's the root of the divine tree. We're here."
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already dug a hole under the root. She bent down and went in.
Shen Luo did not stop her. He hurriedly followed her.
The three of them went through the root and were shocked by the scene in front of them.
They had reached the end of the secret passage. The exit was blocked by the root. Outside the exit, there was a very spacious underground room. It was brightly lit. There were monsters guarding it.
In order not to expose themselves, the three of them had been suppressing their magic power. They did not dare to use their Divine Sense. The sudden change in the scene in front of them caught them off guard.
Yuanyuan's spiritual power was unstable. She was almost exposed.
It was Shen Luo who pressed down on her shoulder to help her seal the fluctuation of her aura.
"Yuanyuan, now that we are at the divine tree, it will be very dangerous for you to follow us. You should go back through the secret passage and wait for us in your clan's land." He transmitted his voice to Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment. Then, she nodded.
"How dare you, little demons, come here to die!" Just as she turned around and was about to go back to the root, a shout was heard.
Along with the shout, a blue light was shot toward the three of them.
It was already too late for him to escape.
Shen Luo did not think much. He raised his palm and slapped out. At the same time, he withdrew his magic power to maintain his body.
His body suddenly expanded. He jumped into the stone room. A water dragon wriggled out of his palm. It collided with the blue light and exploded at the same time.
Wu Man Er followed closely behind. She regained her body shape. Yuanyuan could not escape back to the secret passage. She also flew out.
A series of battle cries came from the surroundings. Immediately, dozens of ugly monsters of all kinds surrounded them with weapons in their hands.
Shen Luo glanced around. Thick roots could be seen everywhere in the stone room. Apparently, they had reached the bottom of the divine tree.
"Humans?" At this time, another shout was heard.
