Chapter 2775

This voice suddenly came from the ancient tree in front of Zi Chen.

Hearing this voice, his expression changed. He gripped the longsword in his hand and said coldly, "Come out!"

"Don't misunderstand. I have no ill intentions." The voice came from the ancient tree again.

"If you have no ill intentions, then why are you hiding inside?" Zi Chen's expression was cold. The Yin Yang light on his body flashed. He did not notice that there was someone inside before.

His doppelganger had already killed all the level 0 Sky Race. At this time, he did not continue to collect the spoils of war. He turned around and stared at the ancient tree. The Through Heaven God Needle floated beside him.

"I'm not hiding. I've always been here."

The voice came from the ancient tree again. A ray of light appeared from within and turned into a blurry human face.

"You've always been here?" Zi Chen looked at the other, his expression becoming more and more cautious.

"I'm the tree spirit of this place. I've always been here." The human face said.

"I've killed many ancient trees. Why haven't I seen a tree spirit?

What's your relationship with those moving shadows? "Zi Chen asked coldly. He did not let down his guard.

"You're talking about Spirit Shadows, right?" The human face said, "I'm different from them. I can't move."

"Oh?" Zi Chen frowned.

The shadows he encountered before all used the help of other ancient trees to quickly change. The other party could not move.

However, it seemed to be the case. If the other party could move, they would not have shown themselves. They would have left on their own. There was no need to talk to him before.

"What kind of existence are you?" Zi Chen asked.

"I'm an unlucky loser." The human face said. Its voice seemed to be gloomy.

"What do you mean?" Zi Chen asked, confused.

"I'm a king who was born a failure." The human face continued.

This ancient tree was abnormally huge. Although it could not be compared to the Ancient Tree King, it was still much bigger than a normal ancient tree.

A king who was born a failure. The amount of information in this was too much.

Shadowless put away the other corpses and returned to Zi Chen's world. Although he had broken through with the real body, he needed some time to adapt.

"What do you mean?"

"I was born different from other ancient trees. I have intelligence and know my future achievements. However, in this forest, there can only be one king. Therefore, I was discovered by them and then erased by them.

My luck was pretty good. Even after I died, my intelligence didn't dissipate. I slowly condensed it again. After that, I've been hiding here, not daring to reveal myself. "

It looked at Zi Chen and said, "I know you've seen a King. You have the aura of a King."

"Are you talking about the fruit's aura?

I have refined the fruit of the Ancient Tree King, "Zi Chen asked.

"It's the fruit's aura. It can attract those Spirit Shadows.

You came to the outer area because you encountered a Spirit Shadow, right? "the face said.

Zi Chen said, "I don't know if they are spiritual shadows, but they can't be killed. We can teleport with the help of other ancient trees."

The human face said, "That's the Spirit Shadow I was talking about.

This space has been opened once before, so you all should have come from the outside world. Last time, the will of the forest disappeared, so I'm guessing that you all went to the King and obtained the fruit.

That was the King's scheme. It was to let the light shadow find your location and kill you.

The energy in your bodies is the King's greatest nourishment. It can help it advance. "

What it said was almost exactly the same as Zi Chen's guess. The only difference was that it didn't know that the King would advance.

"Why are you telling me this?" Zi Chen looked at it.

"I want to cooperate with you," the face said.

"How?" Zi Chen asked.

"I'll help you kill the Spirit Shadows. You help me kill the King and help me control this forest."

"That doesn't seem to be meaningful to me, does it?

As long as I clear a place, those Spirit Shadows won't be able to threaten me.

As for the King, I don't plan to be enemies with it. "Zi Chen said directly.

"Even if you don't kill it, it will kill you. You won't be safe here. Most importantly, if the King doesn't die, you will never be able to leave here."

The face said, "You've always been enemies. Even without me, you would still be enemies.

As for those Spirit Shadows, they can't do anything to you. However, you might not know the value of a Spirit Shadow. If you kill it, it will turn into a fruit.

Just like how your energy is useful to the King, the fruit of the King's energy is also useful to you. "

Zi Chen's expression changed.

The face continued, "If you refine me, it will be of some help to you. However, because of your strength, the help will be minimal.

If we cooperate, I can help you kill those Spirit Shadows. You will definitely gain more than refining me. "

"Is that why you chose to show yourself?" Zi Chen asked.

"That's right. From the moment you arrived, I've been paying attention to you. This is my only chance because a new erasure is coming.

Because of the loss of a large amount of life force, I'm not sure if I can avoid the threat this time, so I can only risk it. "

The face's words were very sincere and reasonable. This cooperation was a win-win situation for both sides.

Whether or not the Tree Spirit existed, Zi Chen would eventually kill his way into the depths, kill the King, and take all the fruits.

Now that he had an ally, it was naturally for the best. Moreover, this ally could help him kill the Spirit Shadows and obtain the fruits to cultivate.

The reason why he could reach Level 9 in such a short time was because of the 75 fruits.

Zi Chen did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.

"Before that, what do I need to do?"

Since they had talked about the benefits, it was time to talk about what he needed to do.

"You need to protect me from being killed by the Spirit Shadows," the face said.

"I can only kill them one by one. If there are two Spirit Shadows, I can't do anything. If there are more, I will die."

"They are all formless. I can't catch them," Zi Chen said helplessly.

"If there is only one, that is true. However, I can deal with one.

If there are too many of them, they will appear on their own. They won't hide in an ancient tree. "

The face said, "As long as they show their true forms, I hope you can kill them."

Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat. He said, "What do you think?"

He waved his hand. The eight Saber Ancestor's Tablets appeared and surrounded the bare ancient tree.

Then, Zi Chen activated the Saber Domain. The face hidden in the ancient tree felt a strong pressure.

"What is this?" it asked nervously.

"It's a technique of my domain. As long as you are in it, you will be trapped and unable to escape."

Zi Chen said, "However, it takes a long time to activate, and all eight tablets must appear."

In fact, the activation speed of the Saber Domain was not slow. It was easy to trap a human. However, the speed of the Spirit Shadows was close to teleportation, so it was much slower.

"That won't work," the Tree Spirit said. "They are very vigilant. When they see that the situation is not good, they will immediately escape."

Zi Chen said helplessly, "Then I have no other choice."

"If you can make them hide, I believe you can trap those Spirit Shadows," the Tree Spirit suggested.

"Hide?"

Zi Chen was stunned. There was the will of the forest here. Besides, he was not a Formation Master, so he did not know how to hide at all.

Suddenly, he looked up at the sky. The sun was shining. This was already the periphery. Where was the will of the forest?

"Let me try."

Knowing his situation, Zi Chen said. Then, he activated the World. One after another, the power of rules sprinkled down from it.

The power of rules fell on the eight tablets. The next moment, the space where the tablets were began to distort and then disappeared.

After the eight tablets disappeared, the Saber Domain activated by Zi Chen was naturally canceled.

He looked at the Tree Spirit and said, "How is it?"

"I can't sense their existence anymore. There should be no problem," the Tree Spirit said.

…

…

The strong people who were still alive now knew about the existence of the Spirit Shadows. Moreover, these Spirit Shadows were silent and could not be killed at all. Therefore, they formed a group and headed to the periphery.

During this time, the Spirit Shadows also followed, and their numbers increased. Just as the strong people began to form groups, they also began to move forward in groups. Their lethality was also stronger.

Zi Chen waited outside while Shadowless went out to investigate. Although he had formed an alliance with the Tree Spirit, Zi Chen still had some worries in his heart. What if he met other people?

Just like the Divine Ones before, he was now in high demand in the eyes of others. Anyone who saw him wanted to get close to him.

What made him feel slightly relieved was that the will of the forest was finally gone. His World could also be fully displayed. This was also his biggest reliance.

Time passed. Shadowless returned and told him that many strong people had come outside. Soon, someone would be able to reach his direction.

He could not abandon the Tree Spirit, so he could only deal with it.

Fortunately, Shadowless told him another piece of good news. There were already Spirit Shadows nearby, and they should be here soon.

Zi Chen sat cross-legged beside the withered ancient tree, refining the Tree Heart. Shadowless was on guard beside him. As for the Tree Spirit, it had already hidden itself again.

A Spirit Shadow appeared in the distance. It appeared from the withered ancient tree and saw Zi Chen at a glance.

It disappeared in front of him and then appeared behind Zi Chen.

At this moment, the Tree Spirit appeared on the tree trunk.

On one of the tree trunks, two human faces appeared.

The human face that belonged to the Spirit Shadow was trembling at this moment.

At Shadowless's reminder, Zi Chen opened his eyes. He stood up and looked behind him. Finally, he saw the so-called Spirit Shadow.

The Spirit Shadow was fighting against the Tree Spirit and seemed to be in pain.
