Chapter 135: Six Dao Lotus, Evil Typha Tree (1)
“Xshhh, Xshhh, Xhsshhh…”
The deeper Li Qiye went, the more often the tree roots attacked. They became increasingly thick and had stronger power.
Towards the deeper area, the tree roots seemed to be made of steel and bronze. To the dismay of others, even Life Treasures wouldn’t be able to easily cut through them.
“What is this?”
Li Shuangyan was surprised. At this moment, the metal tree roots began to attack her.
“Ten thousand year old ancient roots of the Evil Typha Tree. We are coming closer to its nest so it is pressing its attack.”
Li Qiye continued:
“Use the lotus ashes, don’t mess around with them. As long as we can find its main root, the other roots won’t be able to do anything.”
With that, Li Qiye sprinkled the lotus ashes and Niu Fen and Li Shuangyan did the same. Sure enough, the ancient roots immediately retreated and didn’t dare to approach. They were very wary against these lotus ashes.
Suddenly, the cave right behind Li Qiye was packed with branches of the ancient roots. It seemed as if poisonous snakes were creepily staring at them.
“So magical!”
Li Shuangyan couldn’t believe how amazing the seemingly ordinary lotus ashes were. They were even able to deter the ancient roots of the Evil Typha Tree so that they didn’t dare to come closer.
“The Six Dao Lotus is the bane of the Evil Typha Tree. These are the ashes of the true ancient tree, so the true root of the Evil Typha Tree still wouldn’t dare to get close. These things were only thirty thousand year old at the very most, so they naturally can’t compete with it. If touched by these ashes, that would be their end.”
Finished speaking, Li Qiye threw out a handful of lotus ashes as if he was a shooting arrow.
Seeing the lotus arrow coming, all of the ancient roots immediately retreated in rapid succession. However, there was still one branch of ancient root that was struck; it immediately struggled around on the ground and died a pitiful death, like a dried, dead snake.
“The Six Dao Lotus!”
Li Shuangyan asked with some astonishment:
“Is that the giant tree in the south?”
“Yes, but also no.”
Li Qiye continued:
“The truth is that the Six Dao Lotus was the previous life of the Ca.s.sia Lotus Tree. In this world, I’m afraid the Six Dao Lotus is no more.”
As they were speaking, they stepped inside a giant cave that was made out of rocks and had no end.
The creepy thing was that these rocks were as red as blood, and they oozed out a fog-like mist. The entire cave was hazy with this b.l.o.o.d.y mist, nearly blinding the people within.
Walking into this huge cave was akin to walking into a hole made out of blood. The inside permeated a stench of fresh blood, as if it used to house a frightening fiend.
“Where is this place?”
Stepping into the cave, even Niu Fen was a bit afraid. He felt uncomfortable, as if there was evil magic in the air.
“The soul of the Evil Typha Tree used to be here in the past.”
Li Qiye gravely said, and his sight swept through all four directions.
At this time, Li Shuangyan gently pulled on Li Qiye’s sleeve and hinted at another direction with her chin, and then said:
“Over there…”
Li Qiye focused his sight and saw a shadow in the far distance. This shadow was wrapped by the b.l.o.o.d.y mist so other couldn’t see it clearly. It looked like a human from afar, but also not like one. At a second glance, it was more like a small dragon flying around.
“Poof…”
In the blink of an eye, the two Invisible Dual Blades of Li Qiye flew out — as fast as lightning — towards the shadow in the b.l.o.o.d.y mist.
However, the shadow was extremely agile. It felt the danger of the Invisible Dual Blades, so it immediately escaped with an unbelievable speed!
The blades swung back into Li Qiye’s hands, but it couldn’t cut the shadow and, instead, had allowed it to escape. The shadow knew how frightening the blades were, so it didn’t appear again.
“That was the main root of the Evil Typha Tree?”
Seeing Li Qiye’s failure, Li Shuangyan worriedly asked.
“No.”
At this time, Li Qiye’s eyes became fierce, and he coldly uttered:
“That year, someone opened the Evil Infested Ridge and something else went inside as well.”
