After passing through a large stretch of primitive mountain forest, Xiao Chen and the rest finally approached their destination.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
Keke jumped onto Xiao Chen's shoulder, it stretched out its little paw and pointed at the mountain range ahead.
"Roar … …"
"Roar … …"
All of a sudden, a dragon's roar transmitted from that mountain range, it made the whole mountain tremble. The forest trees danced even more frantically, the fallen leaves swirled in the air.
It was impossible for it to be just one ancient vicious dragon, judging from the sound, there were actually at least seven or eight of them!
Xiao Chen groaned inwardly, it seemed like they really arrived at the beast's lair. This little guy Keke seemed to have a very powerful background!
The lotus imprint on the foreheads of the three skeletons immediately flickered with radiance, they vigilantly observed their surroundings. The joints all over their body made a "crackling" sound, it was very obvious that they felt the danger ahead.
"Keke, did you really live in the beast's lair before? Just what kind of little beast are you? "
Keke was very dissatisfied, it seemed like it was blaming Xiao Chen for calling it a little beast. It jumped on Xiao Chen's head while panting with rage, then it scratched randomly, making Xiao Chen's long hair into a mess.
"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you."
Xiao Chen hastily caught it and placed it on the ground.
Walking into this mountainous region, they could clearly see many huge claw marks, all of them belonged to the vicious dragon! After crossing over a mountain range, Xiao Chen saw a very shocking scene. A black mountain ridge flickering with black radiance, it stretched across a few mountain ranges continuously! The specks of light were actually as sparkling as black jade.
Keke cheerfully jumped back and forth on the skulls of Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang. It was obvious that it had already arrived at its home. After that, it jumped down happily and ran towards the Blackjade Mountain Ridge ahead. Xiao Chen and the three skeletons followed closely behind, they already arrived here anyway, it was impossible for them to stop just because of the dragon's roar in the vicinity.
However, when they got close to the Blackjade Mountain Ridge, Xiao Chen was immediately dumbfounded. He discovered that the so-called black mountain ridge was extremely similar to … … a tree trunk! A huge tree trunk flickering with black radiance was lying in the middle of the mountain range!
When they got closer, Xiao Chen was completely dumbstruck. The black mountain ridge was actually a tree trunk. After walking along it for a short distance, he could see some huge branches that were separated.
This was simply inconceivable!
The trunk was as thick as a mountain ridge. If this giant tree was still alive, if it was still standing on the ground, how tall would it be? It would probably soar into the clouds! It could be said to be a heavenly tree!
Not far in front of them was a collapsed mountain, as if it had experienced a terrible earthquake. Almost all the mountain peaks had collapsed, and the occasional towering stone mountain was already full of huge cracks. Most of the area had already sunk. Apart from the rocky mountains that were about to collapse, this place could be called an incomparably vast basin. It was very strange inside. Most of the rocks were rocks. Even if there was soil, there was not a single trace of vegetation. It was dead silent.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Tree had already broken off at this point. That unfathomably huge treetop had already disappeared without a trace, as if it had been buried into the ground along with the collapsed mountainous area in front of it, leaving people with infinite imagination. One couldn't help but wonder if a great disaster had happened here a long time ago. It caused countless mountains to crumble and the crown of the ancient trees to snap.
"Hey, where's Ke?"
Xiao Chen suddenly discovered that Ke had disappeared without a trace.
"Clack, clack … …"
Lunhui Wang opened and closed his chin comically, he pointed at the other end of the divine tree, hinting Ke to run towards the direction of the tree's roots.
"Let's go, we should also go take a look."
Xiao Chen and the three skeletons quickly followed behind.
Although the ink-like Heavenly Tree had already withered a long time ago, and it had already collapsed on top of the mountain range, it was still as tall as the mountain peaks. It was really too huge, it was like a mountain ridge lying horizontally in front of them. It was even more imposing than the mountain range.
Xiao Chen and the others passed through layer upon layer of mountain woods, they advanced for no less than eight to nine miles before they arrived at the place where the ancient tree's roots were broken. And these eight to nine miles couldn't represent the true length of the ancient tree's trunk. After all, there was still a large section of the trunk and the treetop that had already been completely destroyed.
The broken roots of the Heavenly Tree were incomparably shocking, the tree stump on the surface was actually as majestic as a mountain range. Regardless of whether it was the thickness or the height, it was a bit higher than the mountain range in the vicinity. It was truly a shocking sight! The few huge roots exposed on the ground were simply like a mountain ridge. They submerged into the ground of the distant mountain, it made people flabbergasted.
"Roar … …"
"Roar … …"
The dragon's roar resounded in the vicinity, it seemed like there were at least seven or eight vicious dragons roaring at the same time. Not only that, it seemed like there were other beasts roaring as well, it was as ear-splitting as the heavenly thunder. If they dared to roar in the area where the vicious dragons roamed, they were definitely not inferior to the dragon race!
This place was really as Xiao Chen had guessed, it was simply a den of vicious beasts!
"What about Keke, where is it?"
Xiao Chen looked all around, he was really afraid that Keke ran into the mountain range, and entered the area where many vicious beasts roared.
"Clack, clack … …"
Qinguang Wang moved his chin, and pointed at the tree stump of the Heavenly Tree.
The stump of the divine tree was also jet-black. It was as sparkling and translucent as black jade. Xiao Chen raised his head and looked up. He discovered that Keke was like a nimble little monkey. She was climbing up the smooth tree trunk that was as huge as a mountain. She was already a kilometer away from the ground.
The three skeletons were also itching to give it a try, they wanted to climb up to see what was going on. Xiao Chen smiled and said, "That's good, we should also go up and take a look at Keke's den."
With their level of cultivation, ordinary people definitely wouldn't be able to climb up. That was because the trunk of the ancient tree was as shiny as jade, it was incomparably glossy, it was hard to use it as leverage.
The height of the divine tree's tree stump was one thousand five hundred meters, and most of the mountain ranges on the dragon island were below one thousand three hundred meters. The tree stump was a notch higher than the one thousand meter tall mountain range in the vicinity. When Xiao Chen and the rest climbed up, they were shocked once again. They discovered that the top of the tree stump was incomparably smooth, as if it was chopped off by a sharp weapon. It was definitely not broken by any other reason!
The trunk of the divine tree as thick as a mountain was actually chopped off by brute force, this was really inconceivable, it made people associate it with a lot of things … …
The place where it was cut off was also flickering with black light, it was the same color as the tree trunk. The top of the tree was very vast, it was equivalent to a huge mountain with a flat top. Keke was in a daze at a distant place, it was moving its feet aimlessly. Xiao Chen walked over, he discovered that its pair of glittering big eyes were filled with perplexity. It looked like a lost child, it was somewhat delicate and touching.
"Keke, what happened to you?"
It was rare for Keke to not be mischievous, it quietly crouched down, and curled up on the ground. It actually let out a whimpering sound, it was like a lonely child crying, it was like a wounded little beast that lost its mother. It laid there pitifully without moving, its big eyes were actually watery.
