Chapter 1419: Treecorpses Mark (1/2)

“Maybe another lair was destroyed and the lucky survivors are moving to this one?” Xiaoxiao speculated after hearing him.

He smiled and shook his head: “A corpse lair can’t be found so easily. Plus, it is virtually impossible for one to be breached, let alone destroyed. Unless it is a powerful legion of an emperor, even an ordinary imperial lineage wouldn’t be able to attack a large number of lairs in the Divine Tree Ridge.”

With a flash in her eyes, she thought of another possibility and excitedly spoke: “Didn’t you say corpses like to be around alchemy ingredients? Maybe there is an immortal medicine inside this valley.”

“You wis.h.!.+” He played with her little nose and said: “Even if the ridge has immortal medicines, they don’t want to live with the corpses. Plus, even when it is a willing cohabitation, these medicines would be occupied by extremely powerful treecorpses, the others can’t have any part in it.”

“Then why are there so many running here?” She felt disappointed after Li Qiye poured a bucket of cold water over her idea.

“Wait and see. Look, people are attacking right now. Let’s watch to see how they will die.” He chuckled while looking at the valley.

In fact, many cultivators that were waiting outside were very curious about the large number of treecorpses gathering here.

Some had the same idea as Ye Xiaoxiao and blurted: “There might be an immortal medicine in there that is attracting all of these corpses!”

“Immortal medicine!” Everyone became spirited after realizing this possibility. Next, their eyes lit up with unrestrainable excitement and even greed. Saliva was on the verge of dripping down.

One cultivator swallowed and said: “There’s a high chance for an immortal medicine to be here. Why else would all of these corpses come here? If it really is an immortal medicine, then we’re about to be rich.”

“Kill our way in!” A different group reacted faster and immediately took action to beat the others inside.

“Kill!” The others saw that group take the initiative and didn't want to be outdone. They roared and rushed in as well.

“Kill them all!” The ambus.h.i.+ng cultivators outside of the valley chose a direct attack and issued battle cries. Everyone scrambled inside, unwilling to be the last one in.

An immortal medicine was too tempting for any cultivator. They would be instantly rich and on the rise after obtaining one.

“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+” Long roots suddenly shot out from the ground like snakes. Some also flew out like arrows.

The treecorspes have finally attacked. These were formidable attacks with a power that shouldn’t be underestimated.

As Li Qiye had said before, even though treecorpses were soulless, they were the favorite children at the Divine Tree Ridge and had been granted protection. Despite the lack of cultivation, they were still instinctively powerful.

“Ah!” A burst of screams resounded shortly after. Some cultivators were pierced by the vines and dragged into the ground with seeds entering their foreheads.

“Kill them!” A few people noticed that their companions were being invaded by the seeds and were about to transform into withered. They shouted in horror and quickly destroyed the corpses.

“Ah!” Many seeds the size of sesame seeds sprung out from the ground. Some cultivators’ blood fell onto these seeds, causing them to immediately shoot for the forehead. The cultivators couldn’t dodge in time and were immediately infected.

One cultivator fell to the ground and convulsed as cracking sounds came from all over his body. At the same time, his scream before death echoed across the valley, instilling fear into all the shuddering listeners.

“This is horrible.” Xiaoxiao was startled to see a living cultivator being infected then killed.
