Demon King’s Pampered Wife - C201 There Are Treasures in the Hole of the Tree(part I)

Is there a treasure here?

With this thought, Zi Ling’s subordinates did their utmost to attack the roots of the strange tree.

Suddenly … The strange tree let out a mournful roar, and the black pupa hanging upside down on top of it fell down like dumplings.

The trunk of the strange tree was also slowly withering away. The eyes of the purple silk continued to attack the roots of the tree.

After the black pupae that fell to the ground rolled a few times, the Ghost Vine quickly shriveled and withered.

A black cocoon suddenly stretched out an arm, struggling with great effort to leave the cocoon.

Puff …

The dried up Ghost Vine was broken, and a miserable figure rolled out from within.

On the side, there were many people struggling out Ghost Vines. There were both men and women, and all of them were battered and exhausted without exception, and they were all more or less injured. After they had escaped, they simply didn’t have the mood to pay attention to the Violet Silk that was standing in front of the strange tree. One by one, they ran for their lives.

In the blink of an eye, only a few were left of the dozens of black pupae. As for those black pupa ghost vines, they gradually shattered, revealing the people within. With a single glance, Zi Ling could tell that these people had already lost all life.

He turned back and looked at the big hole he had created on the tree. He could faintly feel the spirit energy from the hole dissipating.

Zi Ling only hesitated for a moment before using her spirit energy to protect herself as she drilled into the hole.

The trunk of the strange tree was very thick, and the insides of the tree were also very wide. The roots beneath the tree extended in all directions, extending to within a radius of a few miles.

Zi Ling stood in the middle of the tree trunk and scanned the hollow roots one by one. Her consciousness could not be used, and she was unable to determine which path was the right one.

She pursed her lips and carefully examined the thickness of the spirit energy.

After a short pause, Zi Ling began to walk again. The inner walls of the tree roots under his feet were moist and soft. Apart from the spirit energy, a pungent smell of rotting flesh constantly assaulted his nostrils.

She held her breath, her steps light and swift. Not long after, she discovered that the spirit energy had gradually become thinner.

Wrong…

Zi Ling’s brows knitted slightly before she immediately stopped. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly turned around and walked back.

Without consciousness, one could only rely on their senses. However, this strange tree had hundreds of roots without thousands of roots. At this moment, one could not help but make mistakes with their senses.

Soon, she was back where she was before. After carefully determining the direction, she stepped into another tree root.

However, after walking about one kilometer, she realised that the source of the spiritual energy had distanced itself from her. She could only stop and turn back. He kept trying it over and over again until the purple silk finally reached a root. After walking for several kilometers, not only did it not feel the spiritual energy becoming thinner, it felt even denser.

This strange tree had some ability to conceal one’s presence. Previously, in the black fog, she didn’t sense any trace of spirit energy leaking out. Even if she broke through the root of the strange tree, she only felt a tiny bit.

Unlike now … The surroundings were filled with dense spirit energy. As long as he lightly inhaled, it would have the effect of a low-grade spirit stone.

Zi Ling’s eyes were bright as she stared at the scene before her with quick steps. She was certain that there was something extraordinary in this place.

As they got closer, the dense spiritual energy made Zi Ling’s body shudder and her heartbeat quickened.

This level of spiritual energy was at least a middle grade spirit vein. He only hoped that the spirit vein had not been completely sucked dry by the strange tree.

After turning a corner, a bright light suddenly shone into her eyes. Zi Ling tilted her head and squinted, then opened her eyes again. When she clearly saw what was in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, and then her smile slowly widened.

Origin Stones…

On the way, she thought about it a lot and felt that there was a high possibility that this was a spiritual vein. Furthermore, its grade was not low. She did not expect it to be an Origin Stone.

In the cultivation world, spirit veins were precious, and Origin Stones were even rarer. In her previous life, she had only heard of this thing once in a hundred years. She didn’t even have the chance to see one.

He hadn’t thought that he would see an Origin Stone on a trip to the illusion world.

No wonder this strange tree was so extraordinary. It must have absorbed the energy of the Origin Stones and had already formed its essence. If it was given another ten years, it would be able to take form.

The Origin Stone in front of Zi Ling was only the size of a fist, but its value was no less than a high-grade spirit vein. In the cultivation world, Origin Stones were precious because they could allow the exhausted spirit stones to be filled with spiritual energy once more.

Zi Ling stared at the Origin Stone and extended her hand in an attempt to touch it. She even had an impulse to immediately absorb and refine the Origin Stone. There was no suspense. If she could absorb the Origin Stones and cultivate behind closed doors, she would be able to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul Stage in at most twenty or thirty years.

Nascent Soul ah … In her previous life, she had used over a hundred years to step into this realm. It could be said that … As long as you step into the Nascent Soul stage, you can travel freely in the cultivation world. After all, old monsters above the Nascent Soul stage are very rare, and the Nascent Soul stage is the highest realm among normal cultivators.

Zi Ling’s eyes flickered continuously as she waged a mental battle in her heart. She also understood that it was not a good time to absorb the Origin Stone. This was a secret realm, and there were countless unknown dangers lurking within. Furthermore, Ye Shan was still inside, so it would be inconvenient for her to refine it in seclusion. In addition, although Origin Stones could be used to advance in rank when absorbed by oneself, such a treasure should be even more useful.

Actually, if she had enough high-grade spirit stones to cultivate, with her previous life’s cultivation experience, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage in a few decades wouldn’t be difficult at all.

Thinking of this, she made a decision in her heart. Stretching out his hand, he steadily pulled out the Origin Stones embedded in the tree roots.

Not only did it conceal itself extremely well, even the number of Ghost Vines nearby was not less than outside. It was a pity that the Ghost Vine had met purple silk today, and had not been able to obtain its power from the Origin Stone for long, and since the purple silk was a cultivator, it was most afraid of spiritual energy attacks. If it was a Mysterious General, it might not have lost today.

If Zi Ling had not participated this time and had waited several decades for the illusion to open, then after it absorbed all the Origin Stones, perhaps there would not be many people on this continent who could match it.

Zi Ling lowered her head to look at the gradually dimming light from her palm, which had gradually turned into black Origin Stones. The corners of her lips curled upwards, and without hesitation, she threw the Origin Stones into her own storage pouch.

The good fortune of the purple silk made the Xuanwu martial artists who were supposed to be devoured by the strange tree retrieve their lives. They all ran in every direction, fleeing far away before they could think about it.

Coincidentally, among this group of people, there were three brothers from the Beast Race. They were precisely the three brothers, Bear, Leopard, and Wolf.

The three of them were lucky enough to survive. Other than the leopard headed orc, the other two didn’t even look back as they escaped.

At some point, the surrounding black fog had completely dissipated, and as the sunlight shone in, the dark and damp forest had become much brighter.

The bear-headed orc and wolf-headed orc ran, only to discover that Ol ‘Two had suddenly stopped. The wolf-headed beastman looked back and saw his second brother looking back. It anxiously waved its hand, “Second brother, what are you waiting for? Do you find us three brothers long-lived?”

Amongst the three of them, the leopard-headed orc was the smartest, and usually he was also very calm. Seeing this, the bear-headed orc also stopped, “Second brother?”

When the leopard headed Beastman heard his two brothers’ shouts, he did not immediately turn his head, but instead looked at his surroundings. Only then did he slowly turn his head, his beard quivering, as if he was thinking about something.

“Didn’t you find anything?” The leopard head’s voice was calm.

The wolf-headed beastman was a little irritable, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, “Second brother, what time is it? Why aren’t you leaving?”

Only then did the bear-headed Beastman calm down and observe, his eyes suddenly lit up, “Not only did the black fog dissipate, even those ghost vines have disappeared.”

The three brothers were considered experts in the Beast Race. Although they could deal with the black fog in the Ghost Forest, they did not know that the black fog was not corrosive. Instead, it came out of nowhere with an extremely large number of Ghost Vines.

The bear-headed orc and wolf-headed orc had been in a hurry to escape, so they didn’t pay much attention. All they did was run forward and distance themselves from the strange tree.

The leopard headed orc shook his head, “I just saw a man.”

“Who?” The bear-headed orc asked.

“Do you remember the woman we saw when we came?”

The wolf-headed orc rolled his eyes, “Which one? We’ve seen so many women. ”

The leopard headed beastman grinned, revealing a mouthful of dense fangs. If any ordinary human saw it, they would definitely be scared to the point of fighting. He told her about his encounter with the purple silk.

“I didn’t expect that beauty to be so powerful!” The wolf-headed orc opened his mouth in surprise, then scratched his head in puzzlement, “But … What does that have to do with us? ”

The bear-headed Beastman also stared at his second brother with a puzzled expression, but he and even his second brother had extraordinary intelligence, so he did not ask in a hurry, and only stared at him with his black eyes, waiting for the answer.

The leopard headed beastman’s smile became even wider, revealing two fangs, “I want to go back and take a look.”

“Go back?” The Wolf Head Beastman widened his eyes in disbelief, “We just escaped, what are we going back for. Second brother, let’s not bother about that bitch anymore, we need to leave quickly.”

The leopard headed orc ignored the wolf-headed orc, turning his gaze towards the bear-headed orc, “Big brother, what do you say?”

When the bear-headed Beastman heard this, he moved his forehead, and his round ears trembled, “Second Brother, you have always been paying attention. Tell us first what exactly you want to do?”

The leopard headed Beastman turned around, his back facing the two of them as he said, “When we were escaping, I looked back and saw that the woman seemed to be trying to dig into the roots of the strange tree.”

“What does that have to do with us?” The wolf-headed orc continued to scratch its head with its claws. It had almost turned into fertilizer after being entangled by the Ghost Vine, which caused a shadow to form in its heart. If it was not necessary, it was very unwilling to go back.

“Before I came here, I specifically asked the seniors in the clan about illusions. A few decades ago, there was no forest of ghosts here, and for such a powerful forest to appear in such a short amount of time, don’t you doubt it? I’m afraid that the woman must have found something when she went into the hollow of the tree. ”

When the wolf-headed beastman heard his second brother’s analysis and saw his eldest brother nod his head, he pursed his lips and closed his beastly mouth, not saying another word.

The bear-headed man took a step forward, “Brother’s analysis is reasonable, but you also said that the woman defeated the strange tree, so her strength is no less than the strange tree. Isn’t it courting death if we go back and fight with her for things?”

“Who said we would snatch it from her? It all depends on our own luck. What if we don’t get her?” The leopard headed orc was not exaggerating, but his path of cultivation depended on his luck. Sometimes, no matter how strong he was, if he didn’t have enough luck, he would feel helpless.
