Although the Divine Tree could constantly rely on sucking the blood essence and spiritual energy of cultivators to grow itself, Cheng Yu was not prepared to do so usually because it was against human ethics.
Even if he killed so many people in front of cultivators and no one was a good person, everyone still had their own bottom line.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Cheng Yu would not use such a method to let the Divine Tree grow.
What's more, he had used the God Water to create a very good growth environment for the Divine Tree in the Mountain and River Diagram. Now, the Divine Tree was also constantly growing through the God Water. For the Divine Tree, this was already the best result.
If it wasn't for these seven guys releasing their immortal spiritual energy at the same time, Cheng Yu knew that it would be difficult for him to resist. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the Divine Tree absorb all the energy.
Moreover, these seven guys were traitors. There was no need to pity them. It was absolutely impossible for him to leave any path of survival for these seven people.
Therefore, using the seven of them to create the Divine Tree, there was no sense of guilt.
Not good! We can't get out from here, go out from there! However, in the space surrounded by the roots, the seven elders discovered that the roots in front of them had suddenly become denser. Their faces immediately changed as they quickly changed their direction.
Originally, this was the closest exit. If they could get out from here, then everyone could be considered to have escaped with their lives.
However, they didn't expect that these roots would once again block one of their paths of survival. Now, they only had two paths left.
It was just that these two paths were further away from them. This was definitely not good news for them.
Losing the closest path meant that they were one step closer to death!
Everyone, don't give up. No matter what, we have to hold on. As long as we are a little faster, we will be able to rush out The Great Elder shouted.
Puff! I can't hold on any longer! At this moment, the Fourth Elder suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground.
He had already received a palm strike from Cheng Yu and was heavily injured. After that, he had used up a large amount of his immortal spiritual energy. Furthermore, a portion of his immortal spiritual energy had been sucked away by these roots. This had already caused great harm to his body.
To be able to hold on until now, it could be said that it was not easy for him. It was just that he really couldn't hold on any longer. In order to avoid the entanglement of those roots, he had even exhausted the last bit of his immortal spiritual energy.
Therefore, at this moment, he could be considered as a lamp that had run out of oil.
"Fourth Elder!" When the Seventh Elder saw the Fourth Elder fall, he wanted to pull him up, but he was stopped by the Great Elder.
"We don't have a chance anymore. We have to get out of here quickly!" The Great Elder glanced at the Fourth Elder. Although this wasn't what he wanted to see, but looking at the crazy roots rushing towards them, this was no longer something they could interfere with.
If the Seventh Elder stayed behind and brought the Fourth Elder along, then the Seventh Elder would definitely be swallowed by those roots in the next moment.
For everyone now, even one more person would increase their chances of survival by a bit.
Losing the Fourth Elder was definitely a huge loss, but they couldn't afford to lose more people just because of the Fourth Elder.
Ah!
Sure enough, just as they were running away, the Fourth Elder's blood-curdling scream was heard from behind them!
Hearing this scream, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts. This idea was suggested by the Fourth Elder.
If the Fourth Elder hadn't proposed to replace the King, they might not have taken this step.
Now that the Fourth Elder had paid the price with his life, even if everyone had complaints about him, they couldn't say anything.
Moreover, everyone had been together for so long, so they more or less had a friendship. If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, they wouldn't have given up on the Fourth Elder.
Now, they didn't have to suspect whether the Fourth Elder was still plotting against them, because everything was over.
It was just that although the Fourth Elder had fallen, the remaining six people still had to escape because of his original decision. This was really helpless.
"I really regret agreeing with the Fourth Elder to make such a decision. Otherwise, we would have been resting peacefully in the mansion by now." The Seventh Elder was really frightened.
Seeing another companion die, he really regretted it.
He really wanted to be the King, and that was indeed what he had been looking forward to. However, sometimes, what he thought in his heart might not necessarily be put into action.
If the Fourth Elder hadn't mentioned it in front of everyone, perhaps this idea of his would have been buried in his heart forever, and there would have been no day that he would have put it into practice.
Even before the sky turned dark, he was still excited about the possibility of becoming the King.
But now, he suddenly felt that, in fact, what was the point of not becoming the King?
Nothing was more meaningful than living!
If he hadn't been so greedy, he would still be a principal elder, and then he would have been able to be an elder in peace, and he wouldn't have to worry about his life being taken away!
"What's the use of saying this now? Hurry up and escape. Only when we escape will we have a chance to think about other things!" The Second Elder shouted loudly.
At this time, who wouldn't regret?
But what was the use of regretting?
"Why don't we apologize to the King? We have been together for so many years, if we apologize, the King may not be so ruthless! "The Seventh Elder suddenly thought.
"That's impossible, we have already betrayed the King, he won't let us live anymore." The Second Elder shook his head and said.
"How will we know if we don't try?" The Seventh Elder continued.
When they didn't have such thoughts, they wouldn't think like this, but now that they had such thoughts, they had even more expectations for this idea.
Perhaps, this was the only way for them to survive.
Because he wasn't sure if he could really escape the pursuit of these roots
"King, I was wrong, please let us go, give us a way out!" The Seventh Elder couldn't care less. At this time, what was more important than his own life?
Regardless of whether the King would accept his apology or not, he had to give it a try.
"If you know you are wrong, then kneel down!" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"If I kneel down, will you really let me live?" The Seventh Elder's heart was filled with anticipation.
"If you all kneel down, I can consider it!" Cheng Yu said.
"Don't be fooled. If he is really willing to let us go, he will naturally withdraw these strange roots and will never chase us like this again.
As long as we kneel down, we will definitely die! "The Second Elder said.
He didn't believe that the King would really let them go. Looking at the terrifying roots behind him, he didn't dare to kneel down
