I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"Gu Xiu, you must be here to save me!"

Xu Wanqing's words left Guan Xuelan confused.

What the hell? ? ?

But soon, Guan Xuelan could no longer remain confused, because she saw that the figure over there, who was already in a tough battle and was obviously being targeted, was now rushing towards her without hesitation!

And with her.

And the densely packed, hair-raising outer-territory evil spirits at the back!!!

"stop!"

"Don't come here!"

"Don't come over!!!"

Guan Xuelan almost screamed, but such obstruction obviously had no effect. Just when she rushed out of the crack and returned to the top of the blood river, Xu Wanqing had already arrived in front of her with a huge army.

The only thing that comforted Guan Xuelan a little was that not all of these birdmen stayed here. On the contrary, a large number of birdmen immediately flapped their wings and rushed into a crack on the other side of her.

It is clear.

It was because of the mutation of the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree that attracted them away.

However, although most of them left quickly, a small number remained where they were and attacked Guan Xuelan and Xu Wanqing without hesitation.

Sacred trees are important.

But the Holy Spring is equally important!

Anyone who sets foot here must bleed!

The attack begins instantly.

This was the first time Guan Xuelan faced this kind of strange birdman. Her cultivation was suppressed, and she couldn't help but secretly groan in her heart at the moment of the fight.

These birdmen are very powerful!

The attack was extremely fierce and fast. If her cultivation had not been suppressed, she would not be afraid. But at this moment, the cultivation that she was most proud of was suppressed. Facing the fierce attack of these birdmen, it was inevitable that her true form was revealed. Because the attack of these birdmen was too fast, and there were not a few of them, no matter how powerful she was, she could not completely avoid all attacks.

even.

Her performance was not as good as Xu Wanqing, whose cultivation was not as good as hers. The most important thing was that not only did she not have any decent elixirs to assist her, she also did not have Xu Wanqing's holy stone that could obviously restrain these birdmen.

Thinking of this, Guan Xuelan immediately changed her words without hesitation: "I, Gu Xiu, will never give up on anyone, let alone ignore others."

These words really conveyed a sense of Gu Xiu's righteousness.

but.

Whether it was the person who said this or the person who heard this, they couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.

Xu Wanqing almost burst out laughing. Looking at it this way, she had indeed made the right bet. Gu Xiu was still that fool until now. She could easily make such a fool become the hardworking junior brother again. However, despite what she was thinking, Xu Wanqing was still very touched.

"Gu Xiu, you are so nice!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Please help me block the attack. Let me see where we should go next!" Guan Xuelan said.

Xu Wanqing reacted and nodded repeatedly.

She hasn't forgotten to show herself. Now that Gu Xiu is right in front of her, she has to hold on even if she is injured.

This gave Guan Xuelan a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. She immediately looked around carefully and discovered that due to the third great change of the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree, this place was covered with spider-web-like cracks on all sides, and it seemed that it could completely collapse and be destroyed at any time.

Among these dense cracks, Guan Xuelan quickly thought of a countermeasure:

"go!"

"Go east!"

"Okay!" Xu Wanqing agreed, and the two of them immediately ran towards the east. While running, Guan Xuelan pointed to a crack in the east and said:

"See that location? You run there first, and I'll stay behind to cover your retreat."

Xu Wanqing was delighted. This was indeed something Gu Xiu could do. If he really wanted to protect someone, he would really disregard his own safety. This was also what Xu Wanqing needed. However, at this time, she naturally couldn't show it so obviously. She immediately shook her head:

"No, what will you do if I leave?"

"I can't leave you again!"

This word made Guan Xuelan slightly confused.

However, it was understandable that something might have happened between Miss Qing and Gu Xiu that she didn't know about. But seeing Xu Wanqing like this, her dissatisfaction with Gu Xiu became stronger.

This damn ungrateful person who betrayed his teacher and ancestors!

How come there are always so many people who would risk their lives to help him?

"What's the point of talking about losing or not? If you don't leave, we will both die here. If you leave, at least one of us can survive. Maybe in case... I won't die?" It doesn't matter what she thinks in her heart. At this moment, Guan Xuelan is still standing on Gu Xiu's point of view, persuading him to escape. She still looks so righteous and has no regrets even if she dies.

Acted.

The fact proved that the performance was successful, because Xu Wanqing also showed a determined expression like her:

"Gu Xiu, you've sacrificed so much in the past and saved me so many times. This time, I want to protect you."

"Well, you go first, and I'll be responsible for covering your retreat!"

"No matter what, I will never let them hurt you!"

She knows Gu Xiu very well.

If she really turned around and left, Gu Xiu would definitely look down on her because of this, and how could she implement her plan in the future? So the best thing to do at this time was to be hesitant and make excuses, and finally, when she couldn't persuade Gu Xiu anymore, she would run away while crying.

This is the best way!

only……

She had obviously misjudged Gu Xiu's state of mind at the moment. Seeing her evading responsibility, Guan Xuelan almost burst into laughter and nodded immediately: "Okay, in that case, I'll leave this place to you from now on."

Ugh?

What…what???

Xu Wanqing was stunned, watching Guan Xuelan quicken her pace, quickly pass by her, and run towards the crack.

no……

I'm just being polite, do you take it seriously?

you……

How can you really agree to retreat?

……

While the master and disciple were scheming against each other, thinking about how to betray their companions to help them attract fire, at this moment, on a side mountain path below the waterfall not far from them, Gu Zhengzheng was hiding his body and moving step by step towards the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree at the top of the waterfall.

The three root systems have been completely destroyed.

At this moment, the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree has completely changed its appearance.

The tall precious tree that connected the sky to the earth had now completely collapsed, with its canopy hanging down right above the waterfall, seemingly ready to fall at any moment. The rays of precious light that had originally been on the tree had now dimmed to the extreme, and even the branches had begun to turn withered and yellow.

"You have destroyed three of its most important roots. This means that the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree can no longer absorb its endless supply of power, let alone feed it back to the evil spirits outside the domain."

"But completely destroying the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree won't be easy either."

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Three of the roots have been shattered, but the tree's power is still strong. To break it, you need to follow the method I taught you before and attack those special points to completely cut off the power flowing through the Star Sea Dragon Tree. Only then can you achieve a successful strike."

"The process isn't complicated for you, but it will take some time. However, these evil spirits from outside the domain will definitely not just sit there and watch you attack the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree without doing anything."

As he walked forward, Gu Xiu heard the voice of the Lord of the Cangming Holy Land.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

At the moment the third root system was shattered, many evil creatures from outside the domain who had originally disappeared hurried back and immediately launched a comprehensive and detailed search. Many of them also chose to return to defend at the first opportunity.

Gu Xiu could already see it even though he hadn't climbed to the top of the waterfall yet.

On top of the waterfall.

There are already three layers of people inside and outside, surrounded by evil spirits from outside the domain.

It is almost impossible to completely break through the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree.

Fortunately.

The Lord of the Cangming Holy Land was clearly prepared, and at this moment he sent another message:

"We in the Cangming Holy Land have waited so long just for this day. Now I will blow the horn, and all the people of the Cangming Holy Land will wage a complete war against the evil spirits from outside the domain and launch a general offensive. I believe that this will attract some of the offensive for you."

"and."

"The Star Skeleton Dragon Tree's power has weakened to the extreme, and it's no longer a pure Star Skeleton Dragon Tree, but some of its essence is still preserved. When we retreated that year, someone did something to the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree. It was a restriction that had never been activated. Once activated, it could buy you half an incense stick of time."

"Within half an incense stick, anyone isolated outside the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree will be isolated forever. No matter how high their cultivation level is, it will be absolutely impossible to break through. But I can guarantee you half an incense stick of time to break through the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree."

"But there is one thing."

"It's because this restriction's isolation ability ensures that no one can enter, so you need to find a way to reach the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree. You must also do your best to drive out the foreign demons that originally occupied the restricted area. Otherwise, if you lock them up with you, the restriction will be useless."

"..."

The Cangming Holy Land had indeed waited for too long and had made countless preparations early on, just for today. At this final moment, he finally told Gu Xiu all his preparations.

As he listened to these preparations, Gu Xiu's expression became completely serious.

The problem is still serious.

This is equivalent to the Cangming Holy Land having set up an impenetrable prison around the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree long ago. Once it is opened, people inside cannot get out and people outside cannot get in. The existence of this prison can give Gu Xiu half an incense stick of time to concentrate on breaking through the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree without being disturbed.

but now.

Because this group of evil spirits from outside the domain are all alert and gathered here, even if Gu Xiu enters and opens the prison, these densely packed evil spirits from outside the domain will still prevent Gu Xiu from attacking the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree.

and so.

We need to find a way to lure these evil spirits from outside the domain to somewhere else. It would be best if only Gu Xiu was left inside so that he could truly concentrate on breaking through the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree.

but……

How to attract these people away?
