Chapter 498 The Dead Tree of Life

"Xiao Liuzi!" Li Chong was in a good mood as he had left this terrifying cave. However, for more than three months, he was not sure whether Xiao Liuzi was still waiting for him here.

As Li Chong's shouting came out for a while, no one responded. Li Chong had already prepared, no longer hesitated, and walked out on the route he had pre-set.

Li Chong did not speed up his pace, but just walked forward slowly. He temporarily had to constantly explore the surrounding situation to determine whether the so-called chaotic period could pass.

But when Li Chong had just walked more than ten meters away, a sudden sound of rapid breathing came into his ears.

Their mind detection power was concentrated, and Li Chong explored the past in the direction of his rapid breathing.

Li Chong's mental exploration power can be regarded as accustomed to the dust, but that's it. Li Chong obviously heard the rapid breathing sound, but he did not see anyone for a while.

You should know that Li Chong's current mental exploration power can detect a range of ten meters, and the accuracy has also been greatly improved. Logically speaking, such a thing is impossible to happen.

Soon, Li Chong discovered something was wrong, and his eyes slowly opened among the piles of dry trees.

Eyes grew on the trees, which was simply incredible. Although Li Chong did not want to cause trouble, these eyes were obviously human, which forced him to go forward to investigate.

Fortunately, it was only a few meters away, and Li Chong had already arrived with just a rise and fall.

Before coming to this pile of dead trees, Li Chong's eyes were suddenly attracted by something, that is, two grasses and two black tentacles, and grass leaves were everywhere, but Li Chong was very familiar with these two black tentacles used as ropes. This was simply the strange fish tentacles he gave to Xiao Liuzi.

Could it be... Suddenly, Li Chong had a strange feeling in his heart, but he himself didn't want to believe that his feelings were real.

Slowly, Li Chong walked forward. He was about to reach these eyes and personally explore the truth of everything.

But at this moment, these eyes also noticed Li Chong's arrival, and swayed left and right, and the intention to stop was very obvious.

If these eyes did not have this movement, Li Chong might think that the danger would really retreat soon, but these eyes were so anxious and so obviously stopping. Li Chong immediately sighed in his heart. His premonition was fulfilled, and these eyes were the eyes of Xiao Liuzi.

Li Chong once saved Xiao Liuzi's life, of course, it was in a state of righteous indignation. Then Xiao Liuzi reminded Li Chong that he had been poisoned and found Ling Li's territory as soon as possible, which was considered to be an indirect rescue of Li Chong's life. Although it was all coincidence, Li Chong and Xiao Liuzi were equivalent to brothers. This time Li Chong went on a stroll alone, and Xiao Liuzi still wanted to accompany him, which moved Li Chong. This was also the reason why he was the first to find Xiao Liuzi after he was trapped in the cave for three months.

If you don’t know, it’s okay, if you know that Xiao Liuzi is right in front of you and seem to have encountered some danger, it would be strange if Li Chong doesn’t go to help.

However, Li Chong was not a reckless person. When he rushed to Xiao Liuzi, Li Chong immediately stopped and began to observe carefully.

Xiao Liuzi was completely wrapped in a dead tree. Li Chong used his mind to explore the power, and then he found that the dead tree had merged with Xiao Liuzi's body. This dead tree was maintained and grew with Xiao Liuzi's essence and blood. Even in a corner of the dead tree, Li Chong actually saw a piece of green leaves emerging from this dead tree.

Among this dead tree, Xiao Liuzi is not only unable to move, but also the water and some necessary nutrients that supply the body are also supplied by the dead tree outside. It can be said that Xiao Liuzi is the living vitality provider of this dead tree at this time.

This method was even chilling when Li Chong saw it. This was even more terrifying than killing. At this time, Xiao Liuzi could not even realize his wish to die.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chong squatted down slowly, concentrating his own mind and pierced the body of the dead wood, exploring the connection with Xiao Liuzi.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Li Chong's brows frowned involuntarily. Under the investigation of the power of thought, the contact between the dead wood and Xiao Liuzi's body was not only all-round, but also changed from time to time. Even if Li Chong cut the dead wood open at this time, he could not break all the contact tentacles at the first time. Li Chong did not know whether the dead wood had his own consciousness. Once the dead wood was like a monster and had an independent consciousness, when threatened, Xiao Liuzi could not hold on for a breath and could die in an instant. At this point, Li Chong did not dare to act rashly.

When Li Chong continued to explore the dead wood, he did not find any wisdom. On the contrary, this dead wood was not a real dead wood. Tens of thousands of roots penetrated under the ground, and even Li Chong could not find out where they were connected to.

Without vitality, Li Chong believed that the dead tree had at least a much worse reaction ability. After hesitating, he was still preparing to cut off a piece of dead tree and ask Xiao Liuzi about the weaknesses of this dead tree.

But Li Chong did not expect that just when his mind was concentrated, at least twenty dead trees were slowly surrounding him. Although these dead trees were huge in size, they were silent when they moved. Even Li Chong's keen hearing did not notice anything strange.

With a thought, the carpenter's sword appeared in front of Li Chong. Looking at Xiao Liuzi, Li Chong was about to take action.

Seeing the sword light, Xiao Liuzi smiled. Although he couldn't see his face, Li Chong clearly felt it in his eyes. Not only that, Li Chong also felt the bitter feeling of relief of Xiao Liuzi.

"Don't worry, I will save you." Li Chong said indifferently, wanting to give Xiao Liuzi the courage to survive.

But Li Chong didn't know that Xiao Liuzi was not happy after hearing Li Chong's consolation, but his eyes flashed with anxiety. Finally, he glanced at the carpenter's knife in front of Li Chong, and a begging breath was transmitted.

"I will not let my friends die in front of me. If anything dares to do this, I will make them pay a huge price." Li Chong's tone was very firm. Looking at Xiao Liuzi, his thoughts moved, and the carpenter's knife immediately turned into a cold light and slashed towards the dead wood.

Swish!

A breeze blew, and Xiao Liuzi didn't even feel any pain. Suddenly, he found that his breathing was smoother and he could speak.
