"Liu Zhuang, can you still hold on?" Xu Dong said. The branches of the Skypiercing Tree were chasing too closely, he had no way to attack the roots.
On the other hand, Tang Baiyu had destroyed four or five roots of the Heaven Opening Tree, and Fang Hao did not want to destroy more than just a few roots of the Heaven Opening Tree.
Liu Zhuang was also dragged along by the Tong Tian Tree as he moved forward, both of his legs carved out two deep marks on the ground. "Ahhh!" Liu Zhuang used his strength once again and stomped his foot on the ground, his entire body sinking an inch. His shoes had been punctured, and he was barefoot on the roots of the trees.
Xu Dong took out a dagger from his shoes and threw it towards Liu Zhuang. When the Profound Sky Holy Land collected the things back then, he had only taken all kinds of medicine, weapons and the like.
However, the Heavenly Tree seemed to have its own intelligence. It threw out a branch and threw away the dagger. Tang Baiyu opened the white jade fan in his hands, and a few silver needles flew out of the tip of the fan and pierced through the branches. The branch that connected the sky and the ground shook, angrily flying towards Tang Baiyu.
Just then, Fang Hao turned and kicked a branch away, dodging a few more attacks, throwing a dagger beside Liu Zhuang.
Liu Zhuang raised a leg from the deep pit, used his big toe and two toes to strenuously pick up a dagger, and fiercely stabbed it into the tree trunk. The entire Tong Tian Tree was shaking non-stop, the branches all retreated to attack Xu Dong and the other two, instead turning to attack Liu Zhuang.
A tree branch whipped towards Liu Zhuang's back. "Pa!" A line of blood seeped out from Liu Zhuang's back, dripping fresh blood all over his white bones.
"Big Brother Liu!" Xu Dong shouted loudly, wanting him to give up.
However, Liu Zhuang used his last bit of strength and fiercely thrusted downwards. "The tree is withering down to the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye." "Splash!" The entire tree was shaking violently, and the branches quickly turned yellow.
Liu Zhuang also slowly took out his own hand from the tree trunk. Soon, the entire tree turned into a pile of ashes. The surroundings also opened up, and the sounds of birds chirping could be heard. A large amount of sunlight shone on the four of them.
Liu Zhuang's face was filled with joy as a gust of wind blew past. A small pile of multi-colored crystals was revealed where the Skypiercing Tree used to be.
"Oh my god!" "Crystals!" Liu Zhuang shouted out of excitement, he immediately grabbed a few crystals and showed it to Xu Dong and the others. Under the illumination of the sunlight, the crystal shone with a colorful glow.
Every spirit beast had a crystal. Their crystal stones were divided into red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The red was the lowest, and the purple was the highest. According to the depth of its color, one could tell its grade. The darker the color, the higher the grade.
The grade of the crystals here was not that high, but the quantity was the best. Liu Zhuang counted the crystals here and divided them into four parts, one could get fifteen pieces! Liu Zhuang placed his own portion into the Heaven and Earth Pouch, and indicated for the other three people to come and take theirs. Xu Dong and Tang Baiyu were not greedy people, so after taking their share, they did not speak anymore.
Xu Dong looked at Liu Zhuang's bloody wound and sighed. How are your injuries? "
"It's fine, I have thick skin. This is a small wound." Liu Zhuang scratched his head, his strong muscles were covered with sweat and blood.
Xu Dong looked at the sky, they had been fighting for a long time and was a little tired. The four of them decided to find a place to rest. After walking for a while, they found a hidden cave to stay in.
The cave was somewhat dry, but it was also quite clean. There was a thick layer of green vines at the entrance of the cave. The four of them had not eaten for a whole day and were a little hungry.
"Liu Zhuang will stay in the cave to rest. Tang Baiyu will look for some firewood nearby to avoid going too far, and always pay attention to the movements in the cave. After finding firewood, he would return to take care of Liu Zhuang. He wondered what dangers the Black Abyss Forest would have once it was night time. Fang Hao and I will go outside to find something to eat. " Xu Dong looked at Liu Zhuang who had an excited expression. He wanted to go out and help as well. However, he was forcefully suppressed by the other three.
"After capturing a bunch of rabbits, Fang Hao wanted to return, but he was stopped by Xu Dong. I can refine pills, and find some herbs for Liu Zhuang to use. "
Fang Hao thought about it, then agreed. Xu Dong searched everywhere, but did not find any good herbs. He found a few that he could use and planned to search for them tomorrow.
As he thought about this, something had hit Xu Dong from the bottom of his feet. A chassis was unsteady and it slowly fell forward. It rolled a few times before stopping. In the end, he fell down like a dog eating shit, causing Xu Dong's face to change.
Fang Hao, who was following behind, looked at the person in front of him one second, and then rolled far away the next. Before they could react, they were stunned. But in the next second, he was already bursting with joy: "Hahaha, I said Brother Xu, even if you're worried about Brother Liu's injuries, don't be so anxious."
Xu Dong's face was hot, he immediately picked himself up from the ground. He didn't know how to explain to him that he fell after tripping over something.
