Chapter 1039: Immortal Fruit Weakness
Tu Zhaoyun, the demon king of the Tu tribe, saw that his goal had been achieved and was no longer worried that the other party would break his promise.
He immediately took out a jade slip from the storage ring and threw it to the Demon King Li Tu.
After the two smiled at each other, Demon King Li Tu took the jade slip that was thrown to him and quickly probed his spiritual consciousness into it.
His expression underwent a subtle change in an instant.
After confirming the information in the jade slip, he smoothly put the jade slip into his storage ring, and at the same time put away the three treasures in front of him.
He had originally not intended to accept these treasures, but now that the deal had been reached, they would naturally belong to the Demon King Li Tu.
"Haha, Brother Tu is indeed trustworthy."
Demon King Li Tu said with a smile, his tone containing some appreciation and relief.
Tu Zhaoyun stroked his chin and said with a smile: "Brother Li Tu, you are too kind. We Tu people have always been honest and trustworthy.
Since we have agreed, we should keep our promise. Moreover, this is beneficial to both of us, so why not do it? "
Lu Chen was in a corner a little further away, still maintaining a calm attitude, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He realized that this seemingly simple meeting might actually be an important transaction between several major forces.
The final decisive factor must be that inconspicuous jade slip, not the three treasures mentioned before.
As time went by, not long after, two figures came rushing over like lightning. They were Elder Qingzhu and Elder Baihua.
The two men looked hurried and anxious, as if something terrible was chasing them from behind.
In the blink of an eye, they rushed back to the cave.
"Chief, something bad has happened!" Elder Qingzhu shouted at the top of his voice as soon as he appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The sound was as loud as a huge bell, making the entire cave buzz.
The voice was filled with irrepressible anxiety, and one could sense the seriousness of the situation. "The Blazing Phoenix Blood Fruit Tree is dead!"
This sudden news was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.
For a moment, the originally happy atmosphere was suddenly broken, and replaced by a suffocating silence.
Everyone present was terrified. Their expressions froze instantly. Even the air seemed to freeze into ice at this moment.
Almost all eyes were focused on the two elders.
With this sad news, everyone's faces quickly turned gloomy.
Especially the three demon kings, they almost subconsciously thought:
Could it be that the Demon King Li Tu had gone back on his word? As a result, the three people's faces became uglier and rage surged in their eyes. If they had not retained a trace of rationality, they would have been unable to suppress their anger.
At this moment, the Demon King Li Tu, who had been sitting in the first seat, suddenly stood up.
His eyes were wide open, with a hint of shock and worry in his pupils. Because of this, the other demon kings reluctantly suppressed their anger.
Looking at Ling Feng again, he was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair after hearing the news. He clenched his fists tightly, and because he was too strong, his knuckles turned pale due to lack of blood.
Li Yue, who was standing by, widened her eyes in disbelief, tears instantly welling up in her eyes, as if she had suffered a huge blow.
Elder Xuanliu, Elder Chifeng and others stood up one after another, including Elder Qingzhu and Elder Baihua, who looked anxious.
"what happened?"
The voice of Demon Emperor Li Tu was low and suppressed, as if he was unwilling to accept this fact, "Are you sure? How is this possible..."
His voice echoed in the huge cave, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Elder Bai Hua sighed and explained, “When we arrived, the leaves on the trees had already started to turn yellow and fall off, and vitality was fading at an alarming rate.
If a solution is not found in time, the whole tree will die completely in a short time."
At this moment, the scene fell into deathly silence, and only the sound of each other's heavy breathing could be heard.
After a while, the sound of discussion gradually sounded and quickly spread, full of anxiety and doubt.
"Elder Bai Hua, what on earth is going on? The Blazing Phoenix Blood Fruit Tree is clearly protected by a powerful formation, how could it lose its vitality?"
Elder Cangsong couldn't help but ask, with obvious anxiety in his voice.
"How the hell could this happen? The Blazing Phoenix Blood Fruit Tree is too important to us, we can't let it be destroyed like this!"
Elder Chifeng followed suit, his tone revealing a firm determination.
"Could it be that someone deliberately destroyed our clan's treasure? If I find out who did it, I will destroy his soul."
Elder Xuan Liu echoed.
Seeing that everyone's statements were convincing, the three demon kings finally dispelled their doubts.
The Water Tribe Demon King You Yuxu hurriedly said:
"Everyone, don't panic. The most important thing now is to figure out the reason. Let's go and take a look first."
"Yes, Brother Li, please take us to have a look. Maybe we can help, right?"
Tu Zhaoyun, the demon king of the Tu tribe, echoed at the right time.
Upon hearing this, Demon King Li Tu took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, and then said, "Everyone follow me."
After saying that, Demon King Li Tu was the first to disappear in the cave in a flash.
Seeing this, the others also teleported away from the spot.
A few breaths later, dozens of figures, led by the Demon King Li Tu, went upstream along the stream and came to a majestic and spectacular giant waterfall.
The waterfall cascades down from the top of the towering cliff, like a galloping and roaring white dragon, majestic and shocking.
The waterfall hits the hard rocks below violently, stirring up layers of water splashes like smoke and mist, which spread out and make the surrounding air moist and cool.
Hidden behind the waterfall is a huge door woven from vines, which seems to be the entrance to a deeper secret.
At this moment, everyone was standing in the air in front of the door made of woven vines.
As the Demon King Li Tu raised his hand, a stream of golden demonic power gushed out from his palm.
In an instant, the vines seemed to be given life, quickly and gently parting, revealing the world hidden behind the door.
Immediately afterwards, everyone followed the Demon Emperor Li Tu and stepped into this space isolated from the outside world.
After entering the space, Lu Chen discovered that the air here was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
At the same time, the rich fairy air is like white mist. Just taking a light breath will make you feel intoxicated.
As their sights shifted, a shocking scene appeared before everyone's eyes:
I saw a tall and majestic tree. Its trunk was so thick that it took several people to hug it. Its surface was covered with a layer of red scales that looked like flames.
Each piece emits a faint light, as if it is its last struggle.
The branches are winding and twisting like a giant dragon. The once lush branches and leaves have now become sparse, and the yellow-brown leaves are constantly falling, like a witness to the passage of time.
The fruit should have been a bright ruby red, but now it has gradually lost its luster and cracks have begun to appear on the surface, as if it will break at any time.
At the roots of the fruit trees, there are all kinds of rare herbs and exotic plants around. They are also affected by the changes in the fruit trees. Some have withered, while others are trying to maintain the last bit of vitality.
Upon seeing this, the three demon kings finally dispelled their suspicions and showed expressions of regret...
