"Who is it?"
Walking through the forest, Qin Shi's expression turned vigilant.
"Little friend, don't be nervous. Just walk straight ahead and you'll see me." The voice rang out again in the dense forest, accompanied by giggles.
Because of Qin Xue Xin's matter, Qin Shi wasn't in the mood to joke around, nor was he as unruly and unruly as he used to be. He had long since put away his naughtiness and entered the most silent stage of his life.
Because of this, he wasn't the least bit interested in the slightly teasing voice. He just solemnly pulled out the Bloodthirsty Sword and snorted inwardly, "Trying to play tricks with me, I want to see just who it is!"
Thinking of this, Qin Shi lifted his leg and strode forward with his head held high. His footsteps made rustling sounds as he stepped on the fallen leaves.
He looked around the tree-lined path, taking in all the flowers and trees around him. He circulated the spiritual energy in his body and spread it along the ground under his feet, feeling the fluctuations in his surroundings.
However, after walking for five hundred meters, he didn't find anything. In front of him, there were only a few towering ancient trees and empty flowers and grass. Where was the figure of a person?
This made Qin Shi's scalp tingle. He cleared his throat, "There's no one?
Could it be that after spending so much time with Qin Xue Xin, I've also started to be paranoid and have hallucinated? "
A gust of wind blew past.
"Little friend, you're not hallucinating, I'm right in front of you!" But just as Qin Shi was feeling puzzled, the old voice rang out again, abnormally clear.
"In front of me?"
Surprised, Qin Shi raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. Not far to his left, there was an ancient tree nearly a hundred meters tall.
The ancient tree waved its branches, as if it was beckoning him, startling him and causing him to take a few steps back, "Damn, it's, it's you?
Monster? "
"Monster my ass, you're the monster. Have you ever seen a monster as handsome as me?"
The ancient tree was a little displeased with the dance of its branches. On its thick trunk, a ring slowly opened, emitting a weak voice, "What a fuss, I'm a Camphor Tree Spirit that has cultivated for a thousand years."
"Camphor tree spirit?"
Qin Shi scratched his head and muttered awkwardly, "I've seen many handsome trees, but this is the first time I've seen such an ugly one that can talk."
"You're the ugly one. You really don't know how to respect the old and love the young."
The ancient tree was infuriated by Qin Shi. Its thick and solid trunk swayed angrily. Soon after, its branches danced unceasingly. It was like a whip with five claws and fangs. All of a sudden, it lashed out towards Qin Shi.
Fright!
Seeing the rattan approaching, Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and retreated. "Old man, what are you doing?"
Who would have thought that Qin Shi had only taken two steps back when an extremely tough branch wrapped around his waist and trapped him.
Trapped by the branches, Qin Shi hurriedly struggled, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. He was shocked. "The middle stage of the Spirit Breaking Realm?
I didn't expect this old monster to have this kind of strength. "
After trapping Qin Shi, the Camphor Tree Spirit didn't move. It only summoned two waves of weak spiritual power to brush over Qin Shi's skin. It exclaimed in surprise, "As expected, young friend, you have such terrifying spiritual power at such a young age."
"Spiritual power?"
Qin Shi didn't speak. After coming out from the bottom of the Passionless Cliff, his spiritual power had indeed improved by leaps and bounds.
The problem was, how did this Camphor Tree Spirit know?
"Old monster, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't be deliberately mystifying here. I don't have time to play with you here," Qin Shi said with a solemn expression while being tied up by the rattan.
The Camphor Tree Spirit was taken aback. It retracted the branches that were binding Qin Shi, and said, "What a stubborn little guy.
Don't be anxious. Didn't this old man just say that I want to help you tell your fortune? "
"Tell my fortune?"
Blinking, Qin Shi felt his heart ache. "F * ck, what kind of world is this?
Even a camphor tree can become a cultivation spirit?
What's most f * cking strange is that it can even tell fortunes?
Does it think that it's a genius? "
"I can't say it's a genius, but it's more than enough for me to rub around." Unexpectedly, this Camphor Tree Spirit was shameless and said arrogantly.
"Don't. Tell someone else. I don't believe in the things that Wu Xuzi has."
Qin Shi sweated profusely. He shook his head and said, "If you want to find me for this, then I won't waste any more time here."
Seeing this, the Camphor Tree Spirit shook its head speechlessly. "Sigh, you really don't know what's good for you. I'm a thousand-year-old Camphor Tree Spirit, and my entire body is filled with precious medicinal herbs. Moreover, I've lived for a thousand years, and I know everything from heaven to earth. The number of people who want to find me to tell their future can line up to the stars. Yet, you don't need me?"
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders, turned around, and was about to leave, "Fate has always been dealt by the heavens. However, this young master decides how to deal the cards. Something as unreliable as divination is more like fooling a child!"
"…"
The Camphor Tree Spirit was speechless. "Don't go. Don't you want to find medicinal herbs that can heal the soul?"
Just as he took a step forward, Qin Shi was shocked. "How did you know?"
"I've already told you. This old man is Bai Xiao Sheng."
The Camphor Tree Spirit laughed and changed the topic. "As long as you're willing to help me, I'll help you find a third grade Spirit Healing Lily!
How about it? "
"Spirit Healing Lily?"
Qin Shi hesitated for a moment. To him, this was a huge temptation. "The last time I was in Lihuo Sect, a single Spirit Healing Lily helped Sister Yu survive for two months. Maybe this time, it can help Sister Yu recover as well."
"What do you need my help with?"
Making up his mind, Qin Shi was prepared to act according to the circumstances.
At this moment, the Camphor Tree Spirit's thick trunk shook violently. Festering roots rose up from the ground. The Camphor Tree Spirit seemed to be in pain. "Young friend, please look."
"Eh?"
Looking at the festering roots, which were severely corroded, he asked, "What's going on?"
The Camphor Tree Spirit shook its head. "It's like this. I used to be the overlord of this area. But not too long ago, I don't know what happened. Suddenly, there was another force that was fighting with me for nourishment and water. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll dry up and die."
"You want me to help you find the reason?"
"Mm. I hope you can help me …." The Camphor Tree Spirit said bluntly.
Qin Shi did not agree immediately. Instead, he smiled mockingly and said, "Aren't you known as Bai Xiao Sheng?
Why don't you just tell Bai Xiao Sheng about this? Why do you need me? "
The Camphor Tree Spirit's eyes flashed with a hint of struggle. It said awkwardly, "Hey, young friend, you don't know. Although I, Bai Xiao Sheng, know everything about the heavens and the earth, I know nothing about myself."
Hearing that, Qin Shi fell into hesitation.
His eyes scanned the dense forest around him and he thought to himself: "Anyway, I don't know where this place is and I need to find some herbs that can heal the soul. Why don't I stay here and help the old monster out, and get my hands on the Spirit Healing Lily before anything else?"
With that thought in mind, Qin Shi nodded and agreed: "You must remember what you said."
Seeing that Qin Shi had agreed, the Camphor Tree Spirit grew excited and said with a smile: "My young friend, rest assured. As long as you can help me find out the reason, the Spirit Healing Lily will be yours with both hands."
"Wait for my news."
Qin Shi did not waste any more time. He gestured to the Camphor Tree Spirit to bring out his roots and he began to search along the Camphor Tree Spirit's roots, passing through the shady path into the forest.
It must be said that the Camphor Tree Spirit was indeed a thousand year old tree spirit. When its roots poked out from the ground, it looked like a giant spider web, densely covering a large part of the forest.
Qin Shi followed the rotting roots, heading towards the source.
An hour later, Qin Shi suddenly stopped in his tracks. He discovered that all the roots were pointing towards a dark underground cave.
The cave was well hidden, surrounded by bushes, and the entrance was wrapped in vines.
If not for the Camphor Tree Spirit's roots, Kempen would not have been able to find the cave.
"Hmph, it's quite secretive. I would like to see what kind of monster is behind this."
Looking at the cave, Qin Shi was certain that the reason for the rotting roots of the Camphor Tree Spirit must be in this cave.
Making up his mind, Qin Shi strode forward with his head held high, and went deeper into the cave.
The light in this underground cave was very dim and damp. The ground was covered with green moss and sticky liquid.
As soon as he entered the cave, Qin Shi raised his eyebrows, and the spiritual power of Eternal Blaze brushed past his face.
Qin Shi was on high alert, and he pulled out the Bloodthirsty Sword, and a bloody aura filled the cave: "It should be here."
After going down the cave for about three hundred meters, the space in front of him widened.
Here, there was a space that was more than a hundred square meters wide. This space was surrounded by tough rocks.
The roots of the Camphor Tree Spirit covered the rocks, and there was a candle every thirty meters.
The candlelight illuminated the dark cave.
"Why is it this place again?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Shi couldn't help but think of the cave in Unrequited Love Valley. Reluctant memories surged into his heart, and his mood became slightly heavy.
At this time, he did his best to remain calm, and his gaze followed the vines on the cliff wall. He saw that all the vines had sunk into the rocks, and there was a crack that was about a meter tall.
Along the crack, waves of ferocious cold wind came from the small mouth. The cold wind was mixed with faint spiritual energy, causing Qin Shi to involuntarily raise his guard.
"Save me!"
At this time, a woman's cry for help came from the crack.
Hearing this, Qin Shi was startled: "There's someone?"
Secretly shocked, Qin Shi took a step forward, and holding the Bloodthirsty Sword, he cut off the vines outside the crack, and killed his way into the crack.
After killing his way into the crack, he saw a huge Boston creeper in front of him, and it took up a space of a hundred meters.
In the center of the creeper, there was a girl about twelve or thirteen years old, and she was tied up by complicated vines.
When the girl saw Qin Shi, she became excited: "Big brother, hurry and save me, I don't want to die!"
"Stay here and don't move!" Qin Shi's eyes narrowed, and he raised the Bloodthirsty Sword, and nine sword lights shot out along the vines.
The sword lights were colorful and gorgeous, and they directly struck the vines.
Bang!
Unexpectedly, these vines were extremely tough. Under the attack of the Bloodthirsty Sword, they didn't cause any damage. Instead, they angrily waved a few times, and a blow whistled toward Qin Shi.
Seeing this, Qin Shi was shocked: "Middle stage of the Spirit Breaking Realm?"
