It turned out that not only was there a different world under the cave, but there was also an old locust tree with dense leaves and a huge crown!
Judging from the size of the crown, this old locust tree might have been growing for more than a thousand years.
"Senior Brother, there's no sunlight here all year round. How can this old tree still grow so luxuriantly?" Hualing asked in confusion.”
" Locust trees are trees that like shade," said Hugu Whistle." The Elixir Well just happens to have gathered a large amount of Corpse Qi. I'm afraid this old locust tree has absorbed Corpse Qi to grow so big."”
Seeing that the situation below was unclear, Chen Yulou did not dare to go down rashly, so he ordered,""Men, set up the centipede ladder and go down to investigate.”
The group of Mountain-Lifting Strongmen immediately set up a ladder and lowered it down the hole.
The ladder passed through the crown of the old locust tree and hung down along the trunk.
After the ladder was hung, seven or eight Mountain-Lifting Strongmen climbed down the ladder.
At first, everything was normal.
After they entered the tree crown, they suddenly saw the tree crown move without any wind, and it actually started to sway and twist!
The seven or eight Mountain-Breaking Strongmen exclaimed in shock from the treetops.
"Ah! There was a ghost! There's a ghost in the tree!"
"Don't come over! Don't come over!"
"The branch is alive! Ah! Let me go!"
……
"Bang!"
It was unknown who fired the shot.
Immediately after, gunshots rang out one after another.
However, the gunshots and shouts soon stopped.
The person at the entrance of the cave called out the names of the strongmen, but no one answered…
Inside the pill well, everyone looked at each other.
"Damn it, could it be that this locust tree has become a spirit?" Why would it eat people?"
Chen Yulou said with a dark face," Locust tree is also a wood ghost. It was given this name because it has extremely heavy Yin Qi and can easily attract ghosts and evil spirits.
They could also absorb nutrients from this evil energy to strengthen their bodies.
Some thousand-year-old trees could even produce divine sense under the influence of fate. They could control the branches and hunt the passing humans, animals, birds, and beasts for food.
Even if the old locust tree below had not become a spirit, it already had a certain level of cultivation!”
Everyone's expression changed when they heard this.
He had just encountered a six-winged centipede that was about to become a spirit, and in the blink of an eye, he had encountered a thousand-year-old locust tree that was about to become a spirit. This was truly a misfortune that never came alone, and a blessing that never came in pairs!
Although the people present had seen many evil things in the ancient tombs deep in the mountains all year round, they rarely encountered plants that had turned into spirits.
Therefore, when they suddenly encountered a tree spirit that could use its branches to kill people, they were a little stunned.
Seeing this scene, Wu Hao could not help but think of the Nine-Headed Snake Cypress, and he did not feel very surprised in his heart.
According to the elders, among the trees, there were four types that had heavy Yin Qi.
Other than the well-known Wood Ghost Locust Tree, there were also elm trees, mulberry trees, and willow trees.
These trees all preferred damp and dark environments, and it was easy to attract unclean things.
This thousand-year-old locust tree grew under the Elixir Well of the Elixir Palace. It had absorbed the Spiritual Qi of the Bottle Mountain, the Corpse Qi of the Elixir Well, and perhaps also absorbed a lot of the residue of the elixir that contained heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It was not surprising that it had become a spirit.
Therefore, Wu Hao calmly said,""Who cares if it's a spirit or a monster? So what if its branches can move? He could only stay where he was and could not move at all!
Brother Chen, Brother Luo, this thing is very easy to deal with. Let our brothers pour a few buckets of tung oil on it and burn it directly!”
When everyone heard this, their eyes widened and their eyebrows relaxed as they repeatedly agreed.
Old Luo Xie immediately ordered the engineer battalion to bring a few buckets of tung oil and poured it all down.
Then, he threw a torch down, and the flames shot up.
The fire spread rapidly and soon engulfed the entire tree.
The old locust tree seemed to have come to life. All its branches swayed crazily, looking like countless giant snakes with their tails attached to the tree, struggling to escape in the sea of fire!
Countless branches and leaves lashed against each other, constantly making crackling sounds. Even the flames were thrown everywhere!
Just as everyone was watching in wonder, a branch as thick as a wrist suddenly shot out from the fire.
That branch was very different from the other branches.
It was completely bare, without a single branch or leaf. It did not look like a branch, but more like a black tentacle!
Moreover, it had reached out from the flames, but for some reason, there was no sign of it burning.
What was even more bizarre was that it actually seemed to be able to grow out of thin air and continuously extend. In the blink of an eye, it had darted out of the cave and extended into the pill well!
Before anyone could react in their panic, the bare branch wrapped around a soldier's waist.
He suddenly lifted it up into the sky, threw it, and threw it again.
The soldier was lifted more than ten meters high, then he was thrown onto the wall of the well and fell to the ground from the wall. His head was bleeding on the spot, and his life and death were unknown!
