Chapter Fifty-Six: Stirring

g her in front of him. "Let me see!"Yiyin pouted and glared at him, then suddenly burst into laughter, a delicate beauty with tears in her eyes."You're still so small, aren't you" Lu Ye smiled and loo...As two ferocious beasts clashed past each other, before Lu Ye could steady himself, a crimson serpent tail whipped towards him like a lash, bringing a gale of wind.

At this moment, Lu Ye couldn't turn around. He could only hastily urge his spiritual power to protect himself.

With a slap, he was sent flying, his shoulder aching as he rolled across the burning ground.

He stood up and looked around, a little surprised.

He imbued his blade with a razor-sharp edge, yet he could not cleave the great serpent in twain with a single strike. He merely severed half its body, and crimson blood flowed out. The serpent demon writhed in agony on the ground.

Da Hu seized the opportunity to break free and, recklessly brave, charged forward, biting down on the wound.

Suddenly, he ripped off a large chunk of flesh.

The snake head reared high, its mouth gaping open, a red light brewing within. It was aimed directly at the tiger's location, and the temperature of the entire cave suddenly surged higher.

Dazhu's bestial instincts blinded him to the danger. He let out a low growl and darted aside with surprising agility.

The next instant, a jet of flames erupted from the snake's mouth, scorching the air before it, twisting and warping its very essence.

Da Hu dodged just in time, the flames couldn't hurt it, and Lu Ye took the opportunity to rush behind the Snake Demon, slashing downwards at the area below its head.

Lu Ye didn't retreat, but instead stabbed the snake's mouth with his sword and fell backward simultaneously.

As the flames erupted, a long blade pierced the serpent's head, protruding from the back of its skull.

A snow-white figure pounced from the side, striking the snake and sending its body reeling to one side. The flames spewing from the snake's mouth lost their target and burned in mid-air.

The fallen Lu Ye quickly got up, pulled out a talisman from his storage pouch and held it in his hand, fixed his eyes on the side, staring alertly.

He

The giant snake finally stopped moving. Riku approached and kicked it, confirming that it was dead.

Lu Ye felt a bit of trouble looking at the long sword stuck in the serpent's mouth. The blade was heated red by the giant snake's flames, and he was afraid that it would burn his skin if he tried to pull it out now.

I'll just have to wait a while.

As for this fruit tree, Lu Ye didn't plan to move it. Even if he took it away, he wouldn't be able to keep it alive.

Just as Lu Ye was about to go retrieve his sword, his spirit suddenly felt hazy. Something inside him was wriggling restlessly.

This feeling made him involuntarily recall the encounter a few months ago...

He hurriedly said, "Amber, please go outside first. I'll go find you guys later."

The big tiger roared, then raised its paw and patted the dead snake.

"I understand," Lu Ye immediately replied. "This is a good thing; there's no way I'd leave it behind."

Only then was Dah Tiger satisfied, and as he left, he picked up a piece of bloody flesh he had torn from the snake earlier.

As soon as Da Hu's figure disappeared, Lu Ye looked again at the barrier-breaking fruit tree.

That twitchy, restless feeling is back again.

He hurriedly concentrated his mind, and to his surprise, there was no sign of the talent tree in his vision this time. Instead, there was something unusual in his spirit aperture.

He hurriedly closed his eyes and savored the feeling.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a phantom of a great tree appear in his spirit aperture, it was the very same tree from that day.

As if mirroring the scene in the Xiezhang Valley mine caverns months prior, roots sprouted from the very base of the talent tree, forming a network of tendrils.

The root plunged into the uncanny place, and in the next moment, a crimson force surged up along the root and was drawn out.

As the fiery power surged in, he clearly saw a leaf on the talent tree begin to glow with fire and then burst into flames.

Then comes the second leaf...

When the third leaf arrived, it simply emitted a radiance, without catching fire.

The roots gradually disappeared, and Lu Ye opened his eyes to find his hand covering the broken barrier fruit tree at some point.

The fruit trees were completely withered, and the originally extremely hot cave had also undergone a complete transformation, with no trace of heat remaining.

Lu Ye fell into deep thought.

He recalled the scene when his talent tree first changed. At that time, he was checking Yang Guan's belongings and found a mysterious ore. Then, the talent tree sprouted roots and plunged into the ore. As a result, the ore cracked open, revealing a cluster of orange flames inside.

After the talent tree absorbed the power of flame, a leaf bearing sharp runes blazed with fire.

This time it’s even worse, the talent tree seems to have absorbed some kind of power, causing two leaves on the tree to burn. The third leaf has also undergone a noticeable change.

It seems my guess from a long time ago was right. The talent tree requires absorbing some fire or scorching power to change. My recent experience undoubtedly proves this point.

This cave's underground undoubtedly held the energy that talent trees needed. After being absorbed by the talent trees, this place was no longer scorching hot.

When the living environment of the barrier-breaking fruit trees is destroyed, the fruit trees naturally die. Moreover, it can be said that the scorching power originally contained within the fruit trees was absorbed by the Heavenly Gifted Tree, leaving them unable to survive any longer.that her clone, who had been relentlessly fleeing, now had power surging around it. It seemed as if a strange spiritual rune was slowly unfolding.>>Let me know if you have any other text you'd like tr...
