Chapter 78 Ancient Sacred Tree
In the eyes of dragons, natural gods with strong spiritual power are a delicious tonic. The natural gods drive the elements with their powerful spiritual power.

The dragon clan created by Nidhogg naturally did not have this kind of innate extremely powerful mental power, except for the White King he created with all his heart and effort.

A dragon can inherit the power of another dragon by devouring it, but if the other dragon is not a powerful Dragon King, the improvement is not significant, and is only slightly better than filling its stomach.

The benefits of killing each other on the same level are not great.

The same is true between natural gods. They almost never fight with the purpose of devouring each other's spiritual power, because the improvement is too small and can only be said to be better than nothing.

But dragons are different. Their mental power is far inferior to theirs. Devouring this mental power is a significant improvement for dragons, especially when they are still in the recovery period.

Xia Mi appeared in the open space, found the Eye in the air, and a mental shock wave burst out.

This is the innate power that comes from her ancient authority, the eye that can see through all things.

Just like people have weak points like eyes and throat, she can see the weakest point of an object and strike hard from there, pouring power into it and destroying it instantly.

There was no loud noise, and she even felt like there was no movement. A huge square appeared in front of her. The most shocking thing was that in the middle of the square, there was a huge dead tree with countless branches spreading out from the trunk. It might not be a hundred meters high, but it was more than 90 meters high.

Compared to the 115.8-meter-tall Hyperion tree in the United States, this height is only a little shorter.

Xia Mi stood in front of the square, looked up at the dead tree in the middle of the square, licked her red lips gently, and her eyes were greedy.

Compared to the Nibelungen, which is often calculated in size as ten kilometers, this spiritual barrier with a radius of only a few kilometers is far inferior.

But in terms of technology, this spiritual barrier can put all the Nibelungs to shame, but this is how the world is, no matter how sophisticated it is, it can't compare to something that is easy to use. If something is both easy to use and sophisticated, it can only be said that it is sophisticated because it is easy to use first.

She stepped into the square, muttering, "You hid well. If you hadn't hidden better, how could you have waited for me?"

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile like that of a winner.

These old gods are actually quite good at hiding. Their innate strong spiritual power is something that dragons do not possess. The spiritual barrier they construct makes it difficult for dragons to detect them. However, the dragons can continue to reproduce, and there are many dragons!

When every corner of the world is filled with dragon shadows, the first dragon passed by and didn’t notice you, the second dragon passed by and didn’t notice you either, but what about the third, fourth, and fifth dragons?
There will always be a brave and careful dragon who can discover it, find it and eat it.

This square is very large, and it is the first time she has seen a spiritual barrier with a radius of several kilometers. Perhaps this is the reason why he has been able to evade the pursuit of dragons?
"brush."

It seemed as if the wind was blowing the lush branches, which made Xia Mi pause.

"You despicable dragon, you are here."

There was silence outside, but this sentence echoed in Xia Mi's mind, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Zhang Baiqing, who was sleeping in the bed, was immediately awakened and opened his eyes.

Instead of turning on the light, he stood up quietly and walked to the door on tiptoe.

"Bai Qing, are you asleep?"

It was Chu Zihang's voice. Zhang Baiqing breathed a sigh of relief. He opened the door and saw him standing outside.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Baiqing asked in a low voice.

In the middle of the night, he knocked on my door and asked me if I was asleep. What did he mean Huaimin was not asleep either?

Even if I fall asleep, I will be woken up by you knocking on the door.

"Do you want to go and take another look?" Chu Zihang asked in a low voice.

"What are you looking at?"

“That weird place.”

Thinking that it might be the remnant of the pre-dragon civilization, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. That civilization might have been eliminated by the dragon civilization because it was not advanced enough.

Just like slavery, it was far less efficient than feudalism, so it was eliminated by feudalism, and feudalism was far less efficient than capitalism, so it was also eliminated.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that internal conflicts among the dragon clan may break out, giving humans the opportunity to take advantage.

But the thought that he might become even more powerful kept him awake and he wanted to find out.

Zhang Baiqing was helpless: "Even if there is a problem, we can't see it."

"The Nibelungen needs a medium to intervene in the world, just like Odin's Nibelungen needs a mirror so that he can walk out, and the rain is only brought by the Nibelungen. Senior Morn said that it was dark immediately, and then a strong wind swept there."

"Are you trying to say that the other world might be similar to the Nibelungen? It has to be dark before the door can be opened? Just like Odin needs a mirror to enter reality. And the strong wind at that time was just an effect of the Nibelungenen?"

"Yes, so I want to go check it out now."

"Although there is a high probability that there will be no gain, but you want to go, then I will go with you. Do you need to wake up Xia Mi to go with us?"

"Xia Mi... forget it."

Thinking about Xia Mi's bracelet that can increase speed, it is obviously used for running away, unless it is used for sprinting, but she didn't bring any weapons.

Since she will run away if there is real danger, then just don't take her with you.

"Where's Senior Morn?"

"Senior Moen is not here. He drove me to Damascus today to print materials, and then he ran into a female friend who wanted to catch up with him, so he let me drive back by myself."

Zhang Baiqing: …

No wonder I haven’t seen him since the afternoon.

"Let's go then."

The two walked out of the inn and drove to where they were going today.

Zhang Baiqing sat in the passenger seat, looking at the bright moon outside the window.

A large cloud passed by slowly, trying to cover the bright moon, but the moon's light penetrated the white cloud and turned it into a beautiful gauze dress.

"No, Bai Qing, look, what is that?"

Chu Zihang's face changed slightly as he was driving and looking ahead. A pillar appeared in the vast desert.

"That looks like... a dead tree?"

Zhang Baiqing saw the extension of small branches, but there was clearly nothing there during the day.

"It didn't get dark, and the wind didn't howl." "But something was wrong."

Chu Zihang stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed there.

Xia Mi tilted her head to look at the dead tree and said, "You are not dead."

“Dead, but not completely dead.” His voice was haggard and weak, like an old man about to die. “He” said frankly, “I can no longer control the overflow of my body’s spiritual power. Now I am only one step away from death.”

"Then it seems I can give you a ride, no need to thank me."

It’s good that he’s not dead. Because his spiritual core has more spiritual power, it will be more nutritious for him to eat.

The voice sounded again: "Although I am dying, you don't seem to be doing any better."

He saw her weakness.

"No matter how bad it is, it's better than you dying."

Xia Mi's whole body turned iron blue, and with every breath, her sharp scales slowly expanded. The protruding scales pierced her skin and tore her long dress into pieces. Her nails were replaced by black claws, and her pupils turned into dazzling gold.

"Haha, guess why I deliberately made a noise?"

There was a hint of pride and mockery in his voice.

"Die with me, dragon."

The entire outer layer of the spiritual barrier was shrouded in strong winds and dark clouds, turning the empty square into a huge arena.

"Fuck, what is this?"

A large black bowl suddenly covered the tree, causing the two people in the car to open their eyes wide.

"How about we just run first?"

Zhang Baiqing swallowed his saliva. A mountain suddenly appeared over a distance of 10 kilometers. If this was the effect of the Word Spirit, it must be the starting point of the Ultimate Word Spirit, right?

"it is good!"

Chu Zihang turned the car around without hesitation. He wanted to give it a try, but he didn't want to die.

They ran all the way back to the town, and looking back they could barely see a dark shadow in the distance, just like a mountain.

"Xia Mi? Xia Mi, don't sleep."

Zhang Baiqing knocked on Xia Mi's door, wanting to call her out to analyze what was going on.

But after knocking for a long time, no one opened the door. Instead, the owner of the small hotel who was sleeping at the front desk downstairs was woken up.

It's not that no outsiders come to this small town. Sixty kilometers away are the ruins of the ancient city of Tadmur. There are still some tourists passing through this small town, although not many, but there are some, so this small hotel can still be opened.

"What's wrong with you?"

The boss turned on the light and came up to ask them with sleepy eyes.

"Nothing, nothing. I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and wanted to ask my friend to come out and play games."

The boss looked at them strangely. Is the person living in this room a girl? In the middle of the night, you two grown men are playing games with a girl?

Is this game serious?
"She seems to be sleeping very deeply. Never mind. Let's go out and take a walk by ourselves."

The shop owner reminded: "Be careful, don't get lost in the desert. Do you need a compass? I have one for sale."

"We have our own. No thanks."

Zhang Baiqing pulled Chu Zihang downstairs and got into the car.

He started the car and drove out of the city, then stepped on the accelerator and continued to rush towards the big black bowl.

"Damn! Eating alone."

Hearing what he meant by eating alone, Chu Zihang was a little surprised: "Are you saying that Xia Mi went there by herself? The abnormality was probably caused by her?"

"Ninety-eight percent!"

There was no one in the room, and the abnormal place had the same abnormal phenomenon. Zhang Baiqing could not think of any other possibility except that Xia Mi wanted to eat alone and secretly ran away.

Just because they couldn't see anything doesn't mean that the Dragon King couldn't see anything. The most likely possibility is that the Dragon King saw that there was some treasure there, and then fooled them by saying that he knew nothing, and then secretly went to dig it up under the cover of night.

"You are not the first generation, you are the Dragon King."

The vicissitudes of life voice was full of shock.

"Can't you think of it?"

Xia Mi chuckled. This old man deliberately made a noise to attract the dragon to eat his spiritual core, and then he would drag the dragon to be buried with him, but he didn't expect that he would attract her, the Dragon King!
"I really didn't expect it to be so weak."

Xia Mi's smile froze, and soon her face was filled with anger: "You are still stubborn even when you are about to die, right? I will slowly cut you into pieces!"

"That depends on your ability!"

He was indeed surprised that a Dragon King had come, but the opponent's strength seemed a little off.

It seems that he only has the characteristics of the Dragon King but not the strength of the Dragon King. If the other party had the strength of the Dragon King, he would have died long ago.

Xia Mi rushed towards the giant tree, and the bare branches at the top of the tree swayed gently, as if reaching out to fan her gently.

A gust of wind that almost became material, mixed with lightning, rushed towards her.

"You old gods are so hard to kill."

She felt a bit of a headache. The old tree was indeed dying, and all the mental strength in her body was dissipating.

But this is also when He is at His strongest, because His spiritual power is extremely rich and omnipresent within the spiritual barrier, making His control over elements stronger than hers, making it almost impossible for her to use any spiritual words!
"I won't play with you!"

It seems that it is almost impossible to pass the level without any damage, so Xia Mi begins to use all her strength.
