"Search for Fierce King's scent and determine his approximate location," Fang Yun ordered.
The Demonic Dog General was a demonic beast, and yet he was loyal to Fang Yun's orders. The High Scholars were all secretly envious of him. Other demonic beasts and barbarians would train their private armies for years or even generations. Fang Yun, on the other hand, had written a poem and became the Moon Emperor. After that, he almost managed to recruit hundreds of barbarians into his private army.
In the distance, the two monsters fought fiercely. The Demon General Dog kept using his nose to search for Fierce King's scent.
The roots of the strange tree were all underground, so it left a long gully in its path. The Demon General Dog quickly led the group to the gully.
Fang Yun observed the strange tree and the crab from time to time. The strange tree was still fighting at first, but it soon killed the crab one by one. No matter how hard the crab's shell was, it could not resist the tree's roots for a long time.
Not long after, the Demon General Dog stopped at the gully. It was three miles away from the strange tree's current location.
The Demon General Dog sniffed again and said in the Demon Language, "I smell the scent of that spirit leopard. He was still here this morning, but he left early. He followed the gully left by the strange tree. I can't be wrong."
Fang Yundao said, "It seems like he really lured the strange tree here. He wants to find something in the strange tree's nest. But now that so much time has passed, I don't know if he succeeded. Do any of you know anything about the Dragon Cliff Forest? I don't know much. "
Han Shoulu said, "Even if the Dragon Cliff Forest does not have a Great Demon King, there should be other strange trees. Fierce King would not be able to sneak into the strange tree's nest so easily. He would need a lot of time."
"Yes, even if he is Fierce King. Sneaking into the Dragon Cliff Forest will not be easy. We have a chance to catch up to him. "
Fang Yun asked again in the Demon Language. Niu Shan immediately said, "You are the Moon Empress. This kind of crazy strange tree might not care about you, but the normal strange trees and strange grasses will not attack you unless it is those monsters."
Han Shoulu said, "That is why everyone in the Holy Ground Mid-Autumn Festival is trying their best to write poems in exchange for more moonlight. This is also why Fierce King can't wait to kill you. If you really use the moonlight to establish an advantage in the Holy Ground, it'll be even more impossible for him to assassinate you in the future. "
Fang Yun glanced at the huge tree that was no different from a ferocious creature, and said, "Then let's go to the Dragon Cliff Forest to take a look. However, he left one person here to observe the giant tree. If it turned back, he would not be able to escape. Tell us who has a way to send a message, and who will stay here? "
Everyone discussed for a while and discovered that the Star Demon Barbarian had a unique method of communication. They used the same branch of a tree in the Holy Ground to make two whistles. After blowing one whistle, even if it was a hundred miles away, the other whistle would vibrate gently. It was the Star Demon Brute's method of communication.
Thus, everyone left a Demon Soldier here and started running towards the Dragon Cliff Forest.
After running a few steps, the Demon Dog General jumped into the two-feet-deep ravine. Then, it held a side root of a mutated tree in its mouth and jumped up. The side root was about five feet long and as thick as a finger. The Demon Dog General slowly chewed on it. He ate it bit by bit.
When the Demon Dog General saw that everyone had stopped to look at him, he immediately whimpered, "Don't look at me, run."
However, Li Fanming said, "Good things have to be divided equally. Brother Dog, you can't eat alone."
The Demon Dog General slowly chewed on the root and blinked. He turned around and continued running.
"Bastard!"
"Stingy!"
Everyone followed the Demon Dog General and ran, while Ma Xiong put his Mechanical Dog into the ravine.
"The root is one of the most precious parts of the tree. The root of the Great Demon King Mutated Tree is even better than the Demon King Flood Dragon Horn. "
Hua Yuqing said, "Cut the root of the mutated tree into pieces and wash it to make soup. It is very helpful for Fang Yun's injuries. This is also the Great Demon King Mutated Tree, so its rarity can be imagined. Although the fallen leaves are also valuable, they are much less valuable than the root. "
Fang Yun immediately said to the Demon Dog General, "One for each person, take turns!"
The Demon Dog General whimpered twice. He was very unwilling, but there was no other way.
Not long after, the Mechanical Dog picked up a one-feet-long side root and brought it to Fang Yun.
Hua Yuqing said, "Now is not the time to make soup. Wash the side root clean, slice it with a knife and chew slowly. It would be best if you can swallow it. If you can't, spit it out."
So Fang Yun used the water from the lake shell to wash the side root clean. Then, he put it into his mouth and chewed slowly. Finally, he swallowed it. At first, he didn't feel anything, but when he ate the third piece, he felt his whole body was hot and sweaty.
Hua Yuqing saw Fang Yun's appearance and laughed while running. "This mutated tree absorbed a lot of sacred blood and sacred jade to become a Great Demon King. Its root is more precious than the best ginseng."
"Yes, the root of the mutated tree can be used to prolong life. It is a hundred times the weight of gold. It is second only to divine items like the Life-Giving Fruit and the Life-Extending Fruit. It is a good thing that can't be bought. In the past two hundred years, no one has been able to get the root of the Great Demon King mutated tree from the Holy Ground. They only occasionally get some in other ancient places. "Jia Jingan said.
Fang Yun nodded and continued eating the root.
After running for ten miles, the Demon Dog General suddenly stopped and hurriedly said, "I smell other mutated trees! Other mutated trees are coming! "
Everyone immediately moved away from the ravine and hid at the side. Soon, more than ten mutated trees broke through the fog. They were rushing forward aggressively, but because they were still trees, their roots had to be constantly planted into the ground. Even if they used all their strength, they could only run like a normal person.
These mutated trees were mostly Demon Marquis, and there were two Demon Commanders.
Seeing these mutated trees coming to help, everyone was not worried. Instead, they were happy. This meant that the Dragon Cliff Forest was empty and safer. If they went there now, it would not be too dangerous. At least, escaping would not be a problem.
After these mutated trees left, everyone continued on their way.
Every now and then, they would see leaves and roots dropped by the mutated trees. They would pick them up and distribute them.
Niu Shan and the rest did not wash the roots after they got them. They immediately ate them. Some of the scholars washed them clean and ate, while others put them into the lake shell.
Everyone ran and picked up the side roots of the mutated trees. When they saw the Dragon Cliff Forest, they slowed down. Now, everyone had four or five roots, which was not a small harvest.
Fang Yun looked at the dense Dragon Cliff Forest. Beside the forest was a mountain range, which was the famous Dragon Cliff. It was as powerful as the Ghastly River, and the terrain did not change often.
Beside the forest, the Demon Dog General said, "That spiritual leopard entered the forest from here. There is still no trace of it leaving."
Everyone looked at Fang Yun.
"Let's go!"
Fang Yun ordered. Everyone followed the ravine and went deep into the forest.
The Dragon Cliff Forest was a lush forest. There were giant trees that were more than thirty meters tall everywhere. The canopy above was like layers of large umbrellas that blocked the sunlight. Even though the Holy Ground's sunlight was extremely bright, it was usually difficult to shine on the forest floor.
Now, a path had been opened by the Great Demon King mutated trees. The trees on both sides had all fallen to the ground, adding a path of sunlight to the forest.
At first, everything went smoothly, but after a few miles into the forest, everyone felt a force monitoring them. However, the force was not very strong. They were not too worried. After all, the powerful mutated trees had already left.
Not long after, the trees in front of them became sparse. Finally, they saw a strange tree standing in front of them. There were almost no other trees around it. The trunk of the tree could no longer be described as thick. It was more than ten miles in diameter. The tree was a hundred meters tall. It was simply a tree mountain.
The brown trunk was like metal, and the green leaves were like jade. It was filled with a strange texture that made people happy just by looking at it. It was as if this tree could represent nature.
However … Flames raged under the tree. Hundreds of mutated trees struggled in the fire, and even more mutated trees had been burned to black charcoal.
More than ten injured Demon Commander mutated trees stood guard under the giant tree, using their bodies to block the flames.
"Isn't that the kerosene used by the Mohist to defend the city? Fierce Lord is indeed crazy! "Li Fanming said.
"No wonder Fierce Lord wanted to lure the Demon Marquises and Demon Kings away. It was because those Demon Marquises and Demon Kings were in front of the mutant trees. This kerosene is no different from water. These Demon Generals and Demon Commanders mutated trees are actually very strong. Their bodies are extremely hard. Axes and saws can't do anything to them, but kerosene combined with battle poems to summon flames is their nemesis. Just by killing these mutated trees and storing them in his River Drinking Shell, his trip to the Holy Ground could be said to have been worth it. There are too many uses for mutated trees. Medicine, instruments, brushes, and mechanisms can all be used, "Jia Jingan said as he ran.
"We can't let him succeed!" Everyone quickened their pace.
The mutated trees looked no different from normal trees. They did not even have eyes, noses, or other organs. They could not speak either. After everyone appeared, many mutated trees kept shaking their branches and leaves. The rustling sound was filled with endless sadness.
However, the Demon Commanders did not feel any sadness. Instead, they "looked" at Fang Yun together.
As the scholars ran, they used battle poems like "Surging Waves" to summon large amounts of water to wash over and weaken the fire.
The spirit leopard was originally confident of victory. Its face showed a very human-like pride. However, when it saw Fang Yun and the others, it could not help but be stunned. Then, it was ruthlessly whipped by a mutated tree.
Its protective power allowed it to avoid disaster. Then, it distanced itself from the mutated tree and looked at Fang Yun and the others.
The spirit leopard's eyes were burning. Its face was distorted and it made a strange sound that only a beast would make when it was angry. It was as if something was rolling in its throat. Its claws clawed at the ground as if it wanted to tear the earth apart.
Fang Yun sat in his wheelchair and said with a smile, "Fierce Lord, we meet again!"
Fierce Lord roared and said angrily, "Who are you? What art of war or painting are you using as a disguise? Fang Yun is already dead! He's already dead! He can't possibly appear in front of me! "
Everyone saw a trace of panic in the spirit leopard's eyes. They realized that they had made the right decision. Fierce Lord had lured away the Mutated Tree and burned the Dragon Cliff Forest. Once it was destroyed, Fierce Lord's loss would be incomparably great. Therefore, his distraction was panicking.
Fang Yun stared at Fierce Lord and pointed at his chin. He said slowly and forcefully, "The scars left by your beast claws are still there. How can it be a disguise? I've said it before, I'll leave the Holy Ground safely! I'll add one more thing. From now on, you're the prey and I'm the hunter. I want your distraction to die in the Holy Ground! "
The tables had turned!
The spirit leopard squeezed out a look of contempt and said, "I've prepared for the Holy Ground for almost eight years. Do you think you can kill me now?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I know. But be it eight years or eighty years, there's still a limit. I'll destroy your life-saving means one by one. It doesn't matter if you run once or twice. In the end, I'll still kill you! Now, start running! "
Fang Yun's tone was incomparably calm. However, in Fierce Lord's ears, it was like the mocking of a king.
