Chapter 96 Ancient Battlefield
Chapter 96 Ancient Battlefield
"Earth Spirit Treasure Tree! Great stuff!"
Zong Changshou raised the corner of his mouth, pulled out the sword from Li Chengfu's back and started chopping the dead tree.
"The Earth Spirit Tree is a good thing, but this one is dead." Li Chengfu was very dissatisfied when he saw Zong Changshou chopping down the tree with his sword.
"I can see you didn't study hard in your family's treasure appraisal class."
"Once the Earth Spirit Tree can no longer absorb nutrients, it will begin to wither and gather its own energy."
"And these energies will slowly gather into the heart of the tree."
"If it can be condensed into the heart of the Earth Spirit Tree, its value will be comparable to a top-notch spiritual weapon."
Listening to Zong Changshou's introduction, Xu Chen drew out the Moying Knife behind him.
"Let me do it. You have consumed too much energy and blood, and it is easy for you to be unable to resist the strong wind."
As soon as he finished speaking, the strong wind blowing between heaven and earth suddenly intensified.
The two of them shuddered instantly.
"boom!!"
The Earth Spirit Tree was so thick that it took three people to hug it. Zong Changshou swung his sword with all his strength but could only cut an inch into it.
Xu Chen swung his sword and cut the entire Earth Spirit Tree in half with just 10 strokes.
Afterwards, under the command of Zong Changshou, they found the emerald green heart of the earth spirit tree that looked like crystal.
"Let's go, find a hole in the ground to avoid the strong wind."
Xu Chen stuffed the heart of the Earth Spirit Tree to Zong Changshou and began to walk towards the cave.
But after walking for a few miles, the strong wind disappeared and the world became cold again.
The extreme cold made Li Chengfu and Zong Changshou stiff all over, and their pace became slower and slower.
Looking at the two people who were about to freeze to death, Xu Chen held one with each hand, circulated his energy and blood to protect the two, and ran towards the direction of the earthquake.
Xu Chen led the two people to find a cave and crawled into it. After settling the two people down, he came out and looked for some dead branches and wood to take back to start a fire.
Zong Changshou and Li Chengfu stayed in front of the fire for half an hour before they recovered.
"It's a bit difficult." Zong Changshou shivered.
"Fortunately, it's not too difficult. I can get through it by circulating my energy and blood more." Li Chengfu looked at the weather outside through the hole.
At this time, the extremely cold weather began to slowly warm up.
But before long, the temperature in the entire area began to rise.
Before long, the cave where the three of them were was like an oven.
"What the hell is this weather?"
When the three of them left Didong Sect, Changshou couldn't help but curse.
"No wonder the Ancient Saints Battlefield requires the blood and energy of three dragons or more to enter."
As the temperature rose, Li Chengfu and Zong Changshou looked like wilted eggplants.
"Can you still walk?" Xu Chen said like an ordinary person. Neither strong wind nor low or high temperature could break through his body's protective strength.
"I can walk."
The two of them circulated their qi and blood, forming a strange force on the surface.
"You have this, why didn't you use it just now?"
Xu Chen felt that this force was even more subtle than the Vajra Nine-Turns force he was using.
"We thought we could hold on with our physical energy, but now it seems like we were freezing in vain."
"It seems that we can't save our energy and blood too much."
After circulating their strength, their conditions slowly returned to normal.
The three of them officially began to explore the ancient battlefield.
Li Chengfu was carrying a large bag filled with the Earth Spirit Tree Heart.
"Not having a storage bag is really troublesome."
"Yes." Xu Chen said while keeping alert around him.
Not long after, a figure came running towards the two of them from the distance.
"Junior brother, Xiao Fuzi, there are good things over there!"
“There is a broken immortal weapon over there, and it is surrounded by incomplete Holy Sun Fire, so it is not easy to take.” Zong Changshou said.
"Let's go take a look first." Xu Chen was inspired. The three of them ran for more than ten miles and arrived at the place they had mentioned. They saw a three-acre square sea of holy sun fire burning.
In the center of the Holy Sun Sea of Fire, there is a broken fairy mirror.
"I just observed that when there is strong wind and extreme cold, the fire will weaken a little."
Just as the three were talking, icy rain suddenly began to fall from the sky.
The strong wind instantly turned into a bone-chilling cold.
At this moment, a strong gust of wind blew.
The sea of fire suddenly went out.
At this moment, Xu Chen rushed towards the fairy mirror in the center of the sea of fire at the fastest speed.
Before he arrived, a figure faster than Xu Chen slipped past the magic mirror and took it away.
Just as Xu Chen was surprised, a strong wind blew over and the Holy Sun Fire began to burn again.
Xu Chen evacuated the sea of fire as quickly as possible, then took out the Tianqing bow behind him and pulled out a wind-breaking arrow.
He drew his bow and arrow and locked onto the figure in the distance.
The figure felt as if it was being locked, and its movement suddenly became faster, so fast that it left a trail of afterimages.
"Damn it, you're snatching food from me." Xu Chen's deep eyes began to turn cold.
"You can't run away!"
Xu Chen circulated his qi and blood, and a shadow of a fish leaping over the dragon gate appeared behind him.
The power of qi and blood instantly increased to four dragons and one tiger.
Then the bow was opened to the full moon, and a wind-breaking arrow was shot directly.
The wind-breaking arrow flew across several miles in pursuit of the black shadow.
The dark shadow in the distance felt the threat from the Wind-Breaking Arrow and drew out a sword to slash at it.
Xu Chen, who was far away, saw this scene and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"My arrows are not so easy to catch."
The Wind-Breaking Arrow, which was already moving very fast, suddenly burst out with three forces after getting a hundred feet close to the black shadow, causing its speed to increase several times.
An arrow flashed by, and the wind-breaking arrow instantly pierced through the black shadow's head.
The black shadow fell down with the sword in his hand and a look of disbelief in his eyes.
The two people behind Xu Chen were stunned when they saw this scene.
"You killed him with one strike from five miles away. Junior brother, your archery skills are truly amazing!" Zong Changshou said in shock.
"It's barely okay." Xu Chen smiled and put the Tianqing bow back on his back.
"That's amazing. This arrow contains at least three levels of power. It's unpredictable and unstoppable." Li Chengfu recalled Xu Chen's arrow.
"Let's go over and see which disciple from the five major sects this is?"
Three people came to the black shadow's body.
The black shadow had a slim and graceful figure, with a black cloth wrapped around his face.
Xu Chen used the ink shadow knife to lift the black shadow's veil, and saw a delicate face appear in front of the three people.
"It seems to be Liu Yan'er from Dixuan Palace. She has the power of four dragons' qi and blood and likes to travel alone." Zong Changshou took a look, thought for a while and said.
"This Liu Yan'er is quite capable, but unfortunately she met Junior Brother Xu."
Just as the two were talking, Liu Yan'er's body turned into spiritual light and disappeared, and the fairy mirror that she had previously snatched away lay quietly on the ground.
"It's a good harvest. The Earth Spirit Tree Heart and this broken Immortal Weapon should be able to exchange for a lot of points."
Xu Chen picked up the mirror on the ground.
"These two treasures need to be handed over to the treasure receiving platform for this to be considered a success."
“But there may be ambushes around each treasure collection platform,” Li Chengfu said worriedly.
"Where is the treasure collecting platform?" Xu Chen asked curiously. After following the two people in, he had not yet asked about the rules of the ancient battlefield.
"The treasure collection platform will only appear for one hour every day, and its location is completely random."
"If we're fast enough, we can get there before they ambush us and hand in the treasures for points."
