Chapter 125 The Demonic Tree Devours Hearts! The Wooden Temple Appears!
This Bing Tianxiao himself exudes an unfathomable eeriness, able to walk through the terrifying poisonous forest as if it were nothing.
He is definitely a ruthless character who is extremely difficult to deal with.
Now, Tang Meier has appeared by his side!
This is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger.
With this combined fighting force, even the arrogant Xiahou felt an immense pressure, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
Just as Xiahou was filled with apprehension and the situation reached a stalemate.
From the dark, poisonous forest behind them, the sound of rushing wind came again.
Swish swish!
Accompanied by heavy breathing, ten teams emerged from the poisonous forest in a disheveled state.
These ordinary teams suffered extremely heavy casualties.
But in the end, they managed to get through that death zone by virtue of their numerical advantage and various trump cards.
These people who had just escaped hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath.
Their gazes were instantly drawn to the "Fairy Tree" radiating brilliant light in the center of the ruins.
"My God! That's... a Celestial Tree?!"
"Those growing there are celestial fruits! Treasures that can help us overcome the hardships of our physical bodies!"
"Grab it! Whoever grabs it first keeps it!"
Driven by immense greed, the group instantly turned red with rage.
They didn't even consider why the four academy teams that arrived first were all standing still and unmoved.
They didn't even consider whether there were deadly dangers lurking around this seemingly sacred ancient tree.
Dozens of figures, like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, frantically urged their remaining spiritual power and rushed toward the "Immortal Spirit Tree".
Seeing this, Bing Tianxiao crossed his arms, his deep blue eyes remaining completely calm.
He merely watched coldly, a mocking smirk playing on his lips.
"A bunch of fools blinded by greed."
next second.
The dozens of people at the very front had already excitedly leaped onto the branches.
He plucked the crystal-clear "fairy fruits" and stuffed them into his mouth without hesitation, swallowing them in large gulps.
"Hahaha! I got to eat it! I..."
The student who was laughing wildly stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.
boom!
An extremely strange black demonic fire suddenly burst forth from his body!
"Ah—! Help! It hurts!"
A heart-wrenching scream instantly echoed throughout the ruins.
Amidst the horrified gazes of everyone present, the dozens of students who had swallowed the fruit convulsed violently.
The black demonic fire was like a bone-deep infection, burning away their flesh, bones, and even the spiritual power within their bodies in the blink of an eye!
Their essence, after being burned, did not dissipate, but instead rapidly contracted and condensed.
In the end, they transformed back into crystal-clear, radiant "fairy fruits," hanging precariously on the dark branches!
hiss--!
Seeing this horrifying scene, those behind who hadn't yet managed to grab the fruit...
I gasped in shock.
A chill ran down their spines and up to the top of their heads. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and their legs went weak, causing them to stagger backward.
"That...that's not a Celestial Tree at all!"
In the crowd, a well-informed student, his face deathly pale, screamed in terror:
"It's the Demon Spirit Tree!"
"It can transform into the appearance of various rare and precious materials to attract prey."
Once you swallow its fruit, you will be consumed by demonic fire, becoming its new fruit and nourishment!
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
The greed that had filled everyone's eyes when they looked at that magnificent ancient tree was gone, replaced by deep fear.
hum!
Just as everyone was terrified and their minds were shattered by the Demon Spirit Tree.
A strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from the depths of the ruins.
Immediately afterwards, a blue jade tablet exuding an ancient charm landed on an altar behind the Demon Spirit Tree.
Rumble—!
As the jade tablet fell, the entire earth began to tremble violently.
Before the astonished eyes of the crowd, a colossal, magnificent palace, exuding an aura of vicissitude and antiquity, slowly tore through the earth and rose from the ruins!
The palace gates were tightly shut, but the purest and most refined wood-attribute spiritual energy emanating from the cracks made everyone present feel their hearts race.
The true ruins of the wooden temple have appeared!
Bing Tianxiao looked at the magnificent palace, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He turned his head to look at Tang Meier beside him, whose complexion had just regained its rosy hue, and asked with a half-smile:
"So? Having witnessed the Demon Spirit Tree's abilities, do you still have the courage to come inside and explore with me?"
Tang Meier was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Then, a captivating smile bloomed on her alluring face:
"Captain Ice is joking."
"We sisters went through so much trouble to get here, we almost lost our lives. If we go back empty-handed now, that's not the style of the Myriad Phoenix Spirit Academy."
Bing Tianxiao chuckled lightly, "Good, that's bold."
"In that case, let's get started!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bing Tianxiao no longer hesitated and his figure transformed into a streak of light.
They charged headlong towards the ancient palace.
Luo Li, Xu Huang, and others, along with the Wanhuang Spiritual Academy team led by Tang Meier, followed closely behind.
"Hmph! Want to be the first? Dream on!"
Seeing this, Xiahou, who was not far away, darkened his face and let out a cold snort.
Similarly, the Holy Spirit Academy's troops transformed into streaks of light and shadow, charging towards the palace gates without showing any weakness.
On the other side.
Zhou Yuan from the Martial Spirit Academy, carrying a black iron rod, swept his fierce gaze across the surrounding dense, withered forest.
"Don't let me catch those rats lurking in the shadows, or I'll smash them into a pulp!"
He cursed through gritted teeth, unwilling to miss the opportunity to open the ruins, though he was resentful.
"Martial Spirit Academy members, charge with me!"
In an instant, the top teams from the four major spiritual academies transformed into dazzling beams of spiritual energy and rushed into the mysterious wooden temple.
After the four major academies and the remaining ordinary teams all entered the palace.
In a shadowy spot on the edge of the ruins.
The space distorted slightly, and several figures clad in green robes and exuding a chilling aura slowly emerged.
One of them had his right arm severed at the root, and the wound was covered with a layer of unmelting, eerie blue frost.
It was the same Wood Spirit Clan member who had been severely injured by Bing Tianxiao earlier.
"They've all gone inside."
The man with the missing arm gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment and malice.
The leader gazed at the magnificent palace, a chilling smirk curling his lips:
"Once we enter the Wood God Temple, that will be the true territory of our Wood Spirit Clan."
"Let's go, follow them."
"I'll make sure that white-haired brat and all those outsiders die a horrible death!"
Several green figures flashed by like ghosts.
At the last moment, he silently stepped into that ancient palace...
