Around the wall, strange patterns spread out, forming strange threads of light that isolated it from the outside world.
This was the first time Hayashi River had encountered such strange energy fluctuations. Moreover, the aura that the eyeball pattern sensed was also very strange. It was not extremely dangerous, but it was not without threat either.
"I shouldn't go in at this time …"
Hayashi River frowned. Man Hua and the Tree of Life's treants were already fighting, so he should go and help them.
After all, he had an agreement with the centaur elder. Only if he was present could he truly deal with the unexpected.
However, the stone orb's ability told him that he should go and take a look inside the door …
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this wall … "
Su Duanpo looked at Hayashi River in confusion. She did not understand this man's ability, nor did she know what he had discovered.
"Mr. Chuan …" Hexagon Hands also asked. He was worried that something might have happened to Hayashi River.
Hayashi River took a deep breath and shook his head. He contacted Man Hua and walked toward the wall.
Then, under the astonished gazes of Su Duanpo and Hexagon Hands, Hayashi River actually walked into the wall.
That's right, Hayashi River had disappeared just like that …
While the two were still in shock, Hayashi River stretched out his hands and pulled Su Duanpo and Hexagon Hands in.
The surroundings were pitch-black. The thick green fog and the deafening sounds of battle had all disappeared. It was as if they were in another world …
Su Duanpo and Hexagon Hands immediately turned on the illumination, but they found that the light could not diffuse at all. It was as if the space here had even devoured the light.
This scene shocked the two. Even though they had experienced all kinds of dangerous situations, this was the first time they had encountered such a strange place …
At this moment, a ball of light rose from Hayashi River's hand. This was not a lighting device, but the mental energy he had condensed.
In this strange place, only mental energy could illuminate the surroundings …
"Could this be a place created by a high-level mental energy expert?"
Liu Shou's experience was extraordinary, so he immediately saw through the clues and made such a conjecture.
Hayashi River shook his head. This was definitely not the case. If it was just a place like this, the [Moon Core]'s database would definitely have a record of it.
"Let's go, follow me. Little Meow, take care of Duan Po …" Hayashi River said, not forgetting to instruct Blue Kitty.
"Meow …"
The Blue Kitty wagged its tail and lay on Su Duanpo's shoulder. Its vision wasn't restricted here, so it could see its surroundings clearly.
Su Duanpo clenched her fists tightly. Her emotions were a little complicated. She couldn't be of any help in such a situation, and it was really quite unbearable.
And this young man who had an intimate relationship with her, in such a short period of time, had become so powerful that she was unfamiliar with him. It also made her a little absent-minded …
However, Su Duanpo quickly composed himself. He rubbed the little fellow's head and thanked it.
The three of them and one cat moved forward quickly. The tunnel here was very long, and it seemed to be ten thousand meters long.
This wasn't an illusion. It was indeed ten thousand meters long. According to the distance, they were almost at the edge of the palace.
However, Hayashi River knew very well that they were still in the palace, just that they were under the palace …
Along the way, Hayashi River only felt that the strange feeling was getting stronger and stronger. He sped up and flew toward the end of the tunnel.
In front of him, there was a flash of light, and Hayashi River flew out. There was a palace in front of him.
It was a palace built underground. The place was filled with an extremely pure aura, and it was filled with unparalleled vitality.
In the center of the palace, there was a crystal coffin with a figure inside. It seemed to be a corpse.
The reason why it was "seemed" was because the crystal coffin was floating in a pool. Green leaves wrapped around the crystal coffin, and one could only vaguely see the situation inside.
"The leaves of the Tree of Life …"
Hayashi River stopped in his tracks. Su Duanpo and Liu Shou, who had caught up, were also shocked when they saw this scene.
In such a place, there was such a palace, a crystal coffin, and the leaves of the Tree of Life that wrapped around the crystal coffin …
Sensing the thick aura of life around him, even a Shadow Tribe expert like Six Hands felt his hair stand on end. The Treant of the Tree of Life in the palace was really fighting Man Hua. It was a battle between the peak of realm nine.
Encountering such a situation here, it looked like the nest of the Tree of Life no matter how he looked at it. How could he not be shocked …
Hayashi River waved his hand, indicating for his two companions not to worry. He did not feel a strong threat, which meant that this place wasn't that dangerous.
However, it wasn't without danger …
Bang!
Behind the trio, the wall suddenly cracked open, and leaf vines shot out like a group of vine pythons.
Hayashi River raised his hand and clapped. The blocking power that contained mental energy and electromagnetic energy blasted out, spreading out in circles.
When these leaf vines came into contact with this blocking power, they immediately shattered and fell to the ground, becoming a pile of withered vines.
"You still have the ability to care about me when fighting against a realm nine expert like Old Mister Man Hua? Then there's really no need to fight …"
Sweeping a glance at these withered vines, Hayashi River deduced that the upper limit of the treant's combat strength should be about the same as Man Hua's. Once he used his full strength, he wouldn't have time to care about so many things.
"In that case, let's see what's in the crystal coffin …"
Hayashi River stepped forward, and a series of data appeared in his goggles. [Moon Core] was already rapidly analyzing the surrounding situation.
"Hiss …"
The densely packed leaf vines on the crystal coffin suddenly moved, forming a huge vine dragon that blocked the front.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz …
Liu Shou rushed forward. In such a place, he no longer hid his strength. His body suddenly grew larger, and four arms appeared. He waved four giant blades and slashed forward.
Rays of blade energy whistled, and with a heart-palpitating whistle, this vine dragon was cut into pieces.
"As expected … that treant doesn't have time to care about anything else …"
Liu Shou took a deep breath. He also understood. When the blade energy slashed past, he could feel signs of weakness in the vine dragon's body.
Hayashi River had already stepped forward and came to the side of the pool. When he saw the figure in the crystal coffin clearly, his pupils couldn't help but tremble. He was truly shocked.
In the crystal coffin lay a woman, an extremely beautiful woman.
She had a high nose bridge, dark skin, and a large frame … these were the characteristics of a northern woman …
This woman's appearance ranked at the top among all the women Hayashi River had met in his life.
What surprised Hayashi River was not this, but the appearance of this woman. He had seen this woman before, and it left a deep impression on him.
"Princess Hazel …" Hayashi River murmured.
Liu Shou also exclaimed in a low voice. In Shihaishan City, he had always been by Hayashi River's side, so he naturally knew about the tragedy that happened in the palace 12 years ago.
The victim of that tragedy was the pearl of the palace, Princess Hazel!?
How could a person who had died 12 years ago be here? Her face and body didn't seem to have rotted at all, as if she was asleep …
"The Tree of Life's Sap …" Hayashi River immediately thought of this possibility.
The Moon Core's analysis also sounded in his ears. The energy of the Tree of Life in the crystal coffin was a thousand times denser than outside.
Hayashi River raised his hand and formed a materialized spiritual energy membrane that covered Su Duanpo's body. This was the method to isolate the Tree of Life's Sap, and it was Man Hua's experience.
During the few days in the Sealed Domain, Hayashi River learned a lot about the Tree of Life from the centaur elder. His original goal was to deal with the continent adjudicator who had fused with the Tree of Life.
He didn't expect to use it here …
Liu Shou also retreated. This Shadow Tribe powerhouse was very self-aware. Facing the corrosion of the Tree of Life, it was difficult for him to resist. At this time, he could only rely on Mr. Chuan's performance.
"Meow …"
Blue Kitty stretched out its paw and pressed on Su Duanpo's body, signaling him not to worry. Its master would take care of everything.
"What's going on …"
Su Duanpo's heart was pounding. She came from the special forces, and before coming to the palace for the birthday banquet, she had habitually read through the information about the Northern Royal Families.
Regarding Princess Hazel's tragic case, although the security department's database didn't provide detailed information, there were still some records of clues.
In particular, when he was flipping through the information, Su Duanpo even sighed with emotion at the sight of Princess Hazel, who was as beautiful as a pearl. It was truly regrettable for such a beautiful and talented woman to meet such a tragic end.
Now, Princess Hazel, who should have died long ago and whose body should have been buried in the Northern Royal Cemetery, had actually appeared here. How could one not feel numb …
Boom!
Hayashi River had already made his move. He formed a spiritual energy wave and blasted it at the crystal coffin.
It was the first time Kieran used his spiritual energy directly, and with the buff from the [Seventh Armor], the power of his spiritual energy shocked him.
The condensed spiritual energy was like a giant hammer that smashed onto the crystal coffin. With a loud bang, the crystal coffin exploded, and Princess Hazel's body tumbled out.
However, what made one's eyelids twitch was that the delicate body did not sink into the pool. Instead, it was lifted by an invisible force and floated above the water.
"So … she's in the pool …"
Hayashi River's eyes moved. After the crystal coffin exploded, he saw the scene in the pool. There was a tree trunk that looked like jade.
The bark of the tree trunk had strange patterns and was emerald green. Its branches and leaves were like pieces of emeralds that emitted a strange luster.
A tree trunk of the Tree of Life!?
This was completely different from the Tree of Life that he had seen in the secret cave. This tree trunk was pure and had not been invaded.
The Tree of Life could be divided into two types: polluted and pure. This was the secret that Man Hua had told him.
The centaur elder had a good understanding of the Tree of Life. After all, there was something related to the Tree of Life in the sealed domain.
According to some ancient and hidden clues, a long time ago, the Tree of Life had encountered an unknown mutation. A large part of the tree trunk had been polluted. This was also the secret behind the Tree of Life's disappearance …
As for what this pollution was, no one knew. They only knew that in order to contain this pollution, the Tree of Life had split apart. In other words, the polluted part had been removed from the main body.
However, there were too many parts that were contaminated, far exceeding the pure parts …
In history, the strange changes that occurred after consuming the sap of the Tree of Life were actually caused by the juice seeping out of the polluted trunk of the Tree of Life …
At this moment, the tree trunk in the pool was pure and had not been polluted.
"A pure trunk of the Tree of Life …"
Hayashi River's eyebrows twitched wildly. This discovery was too shocking. If news of such a half-meter-long tree trunk spread to the outside world, it would cause a war.
At this moment …
In the air above the pool, Princess Hazel's eyes suddenly opened. Her eyes were emerald green, as though they were embedded with a pair of emeralds. She turned to glare at Hayashi River and suddenly let out a low roar before pouncing forward.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
As she charged forward, countless leaves grew from her arms and body and shot towards Hayashi River.
In the face of such an attack, Hayashi River did not dare to be careless in consideration of the strangeness of the Tree of Life, even though Princess Hazel's strength was not at realm six.
He raised his arms and spread them apart. His arms were like a door, and a terrifying spiritual energy storm swept out, instantly shattering those leaves and vines and sending Princess Hazel flying.
"Strange … this power …"
Hayashi River frowned slightly. He was puzzled. Princess Hazel's power contained the aura of the Tree of Life. Although it was extremely rich, it was not that powerful.
This situation was completely different from that of the tree-like lifeforms in the palace.
"Could it be …" A guess flashed through Hayashi River's mind.
Suddenly, he made up his mind. His feet moved, and he disappeared from where he was. He leaped into the air above the pool, and with a suction force from his palms, he sucked up all the fragments of the crystal coffin.
At the same time, the Scale-Splitting Arm changed its form. Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle … The crystal coffin reformed and was forged again.
Then, he threw the crystal coffin out, and with a bang, Princess Hazel was trapped inside.
"[Heart Element World Lock]?!"
Lin Chuan raised his hand and placed three layers of [Heart Element World Lock] on the surface of the crystal coffin. Even if a warrior of the ninth realm were to personally come and try to open it, they would be helpless if they did not understand mental energy.
In the next moment, the entire palace shook. An extremely ear-piercing and angry roar came from the top of the palace. That was the center of the palace.
In the center of the palace, the tree man who was fighting fiercely with Man Hua suddenly trembled. As though he had sensed something, his bark-like face twisted.
"Who … dares to ruin my grand plan? I'll kill you …"
The tree man roared madly and charged forward, exploding with even more power as he fought with Man Hua.
What was wrong with this monster …
Man Hua was extremely shocked. He had not met many opponents who could fight evenly with him in the past thousand years. He did not expect to meet such a monster on his return to the Northern Lands.
At the same time, the Centaur elder was cursing inwardly. Where had that damned brat Hayashi River gone? If that brat was here, it would not be difficult to take down this tree man monster with the trump card that the two of them had come up with.
"That brat, did he not come on purpose to watch me tire myself to death …" Man Hua cursed inwardly.
Taking a deep breath, the Centaur elder's expression was solemn. At this time, he could no longer hide his power. He had to use his trump card to defeat the tree man.
