Passing by the two entangled Vicious Beasts, Lu Ye didn't even have time to stabilize himself before the red snake tail lashed out at him like a whip, causing a strong gust of wind to blow against his face.
Unable to turn around at the moment, Lu Ye could only hurriedly urge his spiritual energy to protect his body.
With a bang, he was sent flying. His shoulder blades ached as he rolled a few times on the scorching ground.
Standing up, he looked up and was a little surprised.
Even with his sharp blade, he couldn't cut the snake in half. He only managed to cut more than half of the snake's body. Blood flowed out, and the snake monster rolled on the ground in pain.
Big Tiger took advantage of the situation to break free from its restraints and bravely rushed forward, biting at the snake's wound.
It tore off a large piece of flesh.
The snake raised its head high and opened its mouth. A red light was brewing in its mouth, aiming at Big Tiger's position. The temperature of the entire cave suddenly rose.
Big Tiger's bestial instincts didn't let it sense that something was wrong. With a low roar, it rushed to the side.
In the next moment, the snake spat out a flame, burning the air in front of it.
Seeing this scene, the corner of Lu Ye's eyes twitched. He knew that this snake monster was much stronger than Big Tiger. Fortunately, Big Tiger had pulled the snake's aggro. Otherwise, he would have to use the Golden Body Talisman to block the flames.
Big Tiger dodged in time, and the flame didn't hurt it. Lu Ye took the opportunity to rush behind the snake monster and slashed at the snake's head.
This slash only cut more than half of the snake's body. The blade was blocked by the snake's bones. After suffering a big loss twice at Lu Ye's hands, the snake immediately turned its head and aimed at Lu Ye, red light brewing in its mouth.
Lu Ye didn't retreat. Instead, he stabbed his blade into the snake's mouth and fell back at the same time.
At the same time, the long blade pierced through the snake's head and came out from the back.
A snow-white figure rushed from the side and slammed into the snake, knocking it to the side. The flames from the snake's mouth lost its aim and burned in mid-air.
Lu Ye, who had fallen to the ground, quickly got up and took out a talisman from his storage bag. Holding it in his hand, he fixed his eyes to the side and became alert.
However, he quickly put away the talisman and waited quietly in place.
His last stab had directly pierced through the snake's head. It could be said that it was a fatal wound. Although the big snake was twisting and rolling on the ground, it was obviously not going to survive. Moreover, the long sword was stuck in its mouth. As it twisted and turned, it caused more damage. The ground was full of snake blood that splattered everywhere. It was evaporated by the high temperature, making sizzling sounds.
Big Tiger also got up and shook his body. His snow-white fur was in a mess and there were large scorched marks. He looked very miserable.
From the moment Da Hu launched his attack until now, it had only been a dozen breaths of time. Victory and defeat had already been decided, and life and death had already been decided. However, in this extremely short period of time, the battle between them was extremely dangerous.
To Lu Ye's surprise, his first cooperation with Da Hu was perfect.
Especially at the very end, when Lu Ye had launched that fatal strike, his body had already fallen backwards in an attempt to avoid his opponent's flames. However, Big Tiger's Charge had ensured Lu Ye's safety.
Facing such a snake demon, Lu Ye inwardly speculated that if he were to come alone, it would definitely be a tough battle. He might even have to use a few talismans.
However, with the cooperation of Big Tiger, it only took a short while to take it down.
He suddenly felt that agreeing to Yi Yi's request before was not a bad thing.
"Well done." Lu Ye nodded to Big Tiger, not stingy with his praise.
Big Tiger howled in response. Although this guy couldn't speak and wasn't very strong, after several encounters, Lu Ye found that it was extremely intelligent and could understand human speech. This was very good.
The big snake finally stopped moving. Lu Ye stepped forward and kicked it to make sure it was dead.
Looking at the long sword stuck in the snake's mouth, Lu Ye felt a little awkward. The sword had been burned red by the snake's flames. If he picked it up now, he was afraid he would lose a layer of skin.
He could only wait for a while.
Taking advantage of this, Lu Ye walked over to the Barrier Breaking Fruit Tree and carefully picked the two Barrier Breaking Fruits and put them in his storage bag.
As for the fruit tree, Lu Ye didn't plan to touch it. It wouldn't be able to grow it even if he took it away.
Just as Lu Ye was about to put away the sword, his mind suddenly became absent-minded as if something was stirring in his body.
This feeling reminded him of what happened a few months ago …
He hurriedly said, "Hu Po, you go out first, I'll find you later."
The tiger howled, raised its paw, and patted the dead snake.
Lu Ye immediately understood, "Got it, this is good stuff, how could I leave it behind."
Only then did Big Tiger leave with satisfaction. Before it left, it picked up a piece of flesh that it had torn off from the snake's body.
After Big Tiger's figure disappeared, Lu Ye looked at the Barrier Breaking Fruit Tree again.
The feeling of stirring came again.
He quickly focused his mind, but to his surprise, there was no shadow of the Talent Tree in his field of vision this time. Instead, there was something strange in his Source Aperture.
He hurriedly closed his eyes and carefully sensed.
Vaguely, he seemed to see the shadow of a big tree appear in his Source Aperture. It was the Talent Tree.
The Talent Tree's roots grew roots, just like the scene a few months ago in the Evil Moon Valley mine.
The roots pierced into an inexplicable place, and the next moment, a fiery red power was drawn out from the roots.
As the fiery red power poured in, he clearly saw a leaf on the Talent Tree begin to burst into flames, and then it burned fiercely.
Then the second leaf …
When it came to the third leaf, the leaf only burst into light, but it did not burn.
The roots slowly disappeared. Lu Ye opened his eyes and found that his hand had unknowingly covered the Barrier Breaking Fruit Tree.
The fruit tree had completely withered, and the originally scorching hot cave had completely changed. There was no longer any scorching aura.
Lu Ye fell into deep thought.
He recalled the scene when the Talent Tree first changed. At that time, he was inspecting Manager Yang's relics and found an unknown ore. Then, the Talent Tree grew roots and pierced into the ore. As a result, the ore split open, and a ball of orange flame appeared inside.
After the Talent Tree absorbed the power of the flame, a leaf bearing the Sharpness Spiritual Mark burned fiercely.
This time, it was even worse. The Talent Tree absorbed some kind of power, causing two leaves on the tree to burn, and the third leaf to show an obvious change.
It seemed that his guess from a long time ago was right. The Talent Tree needed to absorb some flame or scorching power for it to change. The experience just now undoubtedly proved this point.
The underground of this cave undoubtedly contained the energy needed by the Talent Tree. After it was absorbed by the Talent Tree, this place was no longer hot.
And the Barrier Breaking Fruit Tree's living environment was destroyed, so the fruit tree naturally died. It could even be said that there was some scorching power in the fruit tree, but after it was absorbed by the Talent Tree, how could it continue to live?
