Li Yuan burst into a surprise attack about 50 meters away from the Flying Snake Warning Circle, but the Flying Snake Circle was about 100 meters around the Ancient Ling Tree.
Li Yuan went crazy and burst out, avoiding several flying snakes' attacks in one second, and even directly killed a flying snake. He was now less than 100 meters away from the ancient tree.
At this moment, what was originally still relatively quiet, and even many were looking up at the 19-level flying snake group above the canyon, completely went crazy.
"Arrogant"
"Hiss~" The dozens of flying snakes that were originally on high alert let out a frantic hiss, which was transmitted wildly in all directions.
Their narrow and long eyes were staring at Li Yuan, they hated him so much that they wanted to swallow him alive.
Without hesitation.
Boom! Boom! Boom! These 19-level flying snakes moved their massive bodies, roaring at the same time, and crazily charged towards Li Yuan, trying to stop him.
Ling Shu!
This is not just a guardian mission given by the three major leaders, but also their heart's desire.
These 19 flying snakes are all very close to becoming second-order, they are all clear that if they want to break through the bloodline and become a second-order flying snake, they must get the permission of the three great leaders and let them eat the strange fruit on the spiritual wood.
This strange and wonderful spirit tree is the 'treasure' of the entire Flying Snake tribe.
No room for error.
And yet, this short and unimpressive foreigner in front of them is here to steal things.
No! Not stolen!
It's daylight robbery!
It's just that these powerful flying snakes, instead of charging in a straight line towards the ancient trees, are circling around the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Tree, keeping at least 70 meters away.
As if in fear of something.
"Are you in a hurry?" Li Yuan's figure flashed like lightning.
In an instant after breaking through the defensive circle, he didn't stop at all, his speed had soared to a terrible level, and he rushed directly towards the Ancient Soul Tree.
Li Yuan did not dare to stay for a moment.
Thirteen seconds!!
"It takes at least five seconds for the sound to travel from the bottom of the canyon up. And it's estimated that it will take about eight seconds for the two second-order flying snakes to return to the bottom of the valley." Li Yuan stared intently at the three fruits on the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Tree:
"I have about 13 seconds to grab the Soul-Storing Ancient Spirit Fruit and escape." Li Yuan's mind was racing with thoughts.
13 seconds is the line between life and death.
"Whoosh!"
Li Yuan burst forth with a surprising speed, even though he had just been struck by a flying snake and his speed had dropped significantly.
But he made some slight adjustments, and his strength became more subtle, and his speed soared again to over a hundred meters per second.
Faster than all flying snakes on the scene, completely comparable to a 20th-level Yuan Wu Zhe.
Whether it's treasure hunting or fighting for life and death.
Victory and defeat can sometimes be decided in an instant.
In half a second, Li Yuan rushed past 40 meters again, and the Soul-Imprisoning Ancient Spirit Tree was far in sight.
At this time.
"Pong~" As Li Yuan burst into the Yuanshen ancient spirit tree, within a radius of about 50 meters, without warning or omen, his head was as if it had been smashed down by a heavy hammer.
He was stunned, his legs softened under him, and he stumbled almost falling to the ground.
The moving speed is even more severely reduced.
This is mental oppression!
"Whoa!" Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, this was something he and Liu Jingdu did not expect.
This ancient Soul Tree was actually releasing a terrifying 'mental pressure' within its own range.
Faced with this spiritual oppression, even someone as strong-willed as Li Yuan was struck down like a thunderbolt.
It's imaginable how strong this pressure is.
"Ahh!"
Dozens of flying snakes surrounded the ancient soul tree, about sixty meters in diameter. Seeing Li Yuan had already charged into the fifty-meter range, their eyes were filled with fear and they didn't dare to get any closer.
Why do they surround the ancient soul tree for hundreds of meters?
It's just been taken advantage of before.
Even in their memories, when the Soul Ancient Tree was first born, some weak and small flying snakes that accidentally approached the Soul Ancient Tree were shattered alive with spiritual consciousness.
His body didn't have a single wound, but he died directly.
Powerful treasures are rare, but the more precious they are, the more danger they often bring.
"These flying snakes don't dare to get close?" Li Yuan noticed this point.
His mental strength ultimately proved strong, and he regained his composure, stubbornly resisting this spiritual pressure.
Continue walking towards the ancient soul tree.
Most of Li Yuan's energy had to be used to resist spiritual oppression, and his speed slowed down unknowingly.
"Psychological oppression?"
"A ten-meter-tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Tree is indeed extraordinary." Li Yuan's eyes held shock and delight: "In the records of our Seven-Star Human Civilization, the 'Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Tree' has never been this special before."
"Impossible, is it really a fourth-grade treasure?"
The first time Li Yuan went down to explore the Flying Snake Valley, he suspected that the other party was a fourth-grade treasure, but more of it was comfort in his heart, and he didn't really think so.
Now? Li Yuan felt that it was indeed possible for it to be a fourth-grade treasure.
At least, judging from the existing signs, its efficacy should far surpass that of ordinary Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.
"It's strange, with my nearly 29-level spiritual power and 30-level willpower, I'm feeling strained now. How did the flying snake get close to the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Tree before?" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and continued to approach.
Logically speaking, a flying snake that hasn't broken through should only be at level 19 in terms of its life hierarchy, so its spiritual power and willpower shouldn't be too strong.
There are only two possibilities.
This is the first time that the Soul-Infusing Ancient Tree has borne fruit.
Secondly, once the Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit truly ripens, this terrifying divine pressure will dissipate, and at least its power will decrease by half.
"These flying snakes can only watch as I seize the treasure." Li Yuan's mind was racing at high speed, but his body didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
It's a matter of seconds now.
One second passed.
The hissing sound of the flying snake kept echoing.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
More flying snakes sensed something and quickly flew down from the caves on both sides of the mountain wall.
The number of flying snakes gathering at the bottom of the canyon continued to surge, but none of them dared to approach the Soul-Imprisoning Ancient Tree.
Moreover, most of the flying snakes that are still guarding the cave at this moment are only around level 15, and their strength is quite ordinary.
"Ah!"
"Hsss~" The dozens of 19th-level flying snakes surrounding the front were anxiously hissing, conveying their determination upwards, but still didn't dare to get close.
In their subconscious mind, this spiritual oppression was too torturous and overwhelming, even the three great leaders found it difficult to break through directly.
Not to mention them.
……
On the mountain wall above the canyon, tens of thousands of flying snakes are frantically besieging Liu Jing.
Especially the two-headed second-order flying snake, completely bursting out, covered with a layer of dim blue light all over its body, like a blue dragonfly, looks even more terrifying.
"Roar!" The two giant second-order flying snakes bellowed, shaking their wings repeatedly, swinging their sharp claws, and from time to time opening their bloody huge mouths, trying to tear Liu Jing apart or swallow him in one gulp.
The terrifying explosive power of a second-order flying snake is absolutely beyond what a first-order can match.
Huge boulders shattered like tofu, bursting apart with a loud crash.
Rumbling... countless rocks falling down.
"Whoa!" "Whoa! Whoa!" On the mountain ridge, a burst of sword light flashed, with threads of fiery red light attached to it, as if flames were flowing, with shocking killing power.
"Pffft!" Liu Jing's eyes turned icy cold as he swiftly swung his knife.
A headless corpse of a flying snake fell down.
Hiss! Hiss! Liu Jing's war blade was as fierce as fire, its movement like the wind, dodging the pouncing attacks of the two Second-Order Flying Snakes time and again.
"The second-order flying snake is really troublesome. Although its strength is far weaker than mine, with the source power protecting its body and its massive physique, I couldn't directly kill it for a while." Liu Jing frowned.
In terms of technique, in terms of the speed and power of the explosion, the degree of richness and grandeur of the source, Liu Jing was far superior to the two-headed second-order flying snake.
One after another, they trampled them.
But because of the source force protection, coupled with the massive body of the flying snake, even if it was attacked and injured by Liu Jing time and again, it could still hold on.
The most important thing is.
The second-order flying snake can fly, and if it is slightly careless, it will rise into the air to escape... while Liu Jing did not want to kill his opponent.
Doing so may bring a quick kill, but it also carries great risks and may result in severe damage to oneself.
"If this goes on, my source energy will be exhausted." Yu Jing's eyes narrowed slightly.
In this way, killing each other in place, whether it's dodging or attacking, can't spare the source of power. One wrong step will cause heavy damage and consume a lot of energy.
"What about Li Yuan? It's been so long, hasn't he succeeded yet?" Liu Jing thought for a moment: "I hope nothing has gone wrong."
He was worried about Li Yuan's safety.
Suddenly.
"Roar~" "Roar~" Sharp and piercing howls, suddenly transmitted from the valley below, echoed through the sky.
Instantly.
The two-headed second-order flying snake stopped its attack on Liu Jing instantly, with eyes full of scarlet and bloodlust.
They are extremely intelligent, comparable to ordinary humans, and immediately reacted, realizing that they had fallen into the other party's trap of "borrowing a tiger to leave the mountain".
My home has been burgled.
"Ah..."
"Rooooaaaar!" Two-headed, second-stage flying snakes bellowed, their roars filled with endless fury. A flying dragon swung its tail, adjusted its massive body and then dived into the depths of the Flying Snake Valley's clouds.
This roar is also an order.
"Ah..."
"Hiss~" The thousands of flying snakes that had been trying to surround Liu Jing from all directions along the mountain cliffs also let out a chorus of hisses.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hundreds and thousands of flying snakes, simultaneously spreading their wings and diving downwards into the clouds, for a moment the sky was like raining dumplings.
But what fell down wasn't dumplings, but flying snakes!!
"Are you going to take action?" Liu Jing understood instantly.
It must be Li Yuan who took action, and perhaps he has already obtained the Yuanshen ancient spirit fruit... Otherwise, these flying snakes would not have gone so crazy, completely ignoring themselves.
Boom!
Liu Jing was only half a beat late, and his body had already slightly leaned forward, immediately followed by the whole person falling down, his legs suddenly exerting force, and he had already shot towards the bottom of the valley like a meteor.
Rumble rumble~ Liu Jing's speed was incredibly fierce, and it seemed that he was even a bit faster than the two flying snakes.
"Persevere."
"Li Yuan, hold on." Liu Jing stared intently, silently urging him on.
The whole plan, the first link is to let Liu Jing withstand so many flying snake attacks.
The key to the second ring is for Li Yuan to withstand the siege of a large number of flying snakes.
……
At the bottom of the canyon, the spiritual pressure of the ancient soul tree is astonishing.
Ke Liyuan relied on his own nearly flying warrior's powerful spiritual force, hard-pressed against this terrible pressure, consuming about five seconds, crossing sixty meters, and rushed to the front of the Soul Ancient Spirit Tree.
Not missing a beat.
Pom-pom-pom
Li Yuan's figure flashed, his arms simultaneously exerting force, as he climbed the tree and plucked three unripe 'Soul Ancient Spirit Fruits', storing them in his battle robe.
Got it successfully.
"It's escaped." Li Yuan's gaze swept around, and he immediately understood how dire his situation was.
