Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: Ten-thousand-years Tree Spirit

Qin Sisi and Ye You both widened their eyes, staring unwaveringly at the strange columnar object, unable to comprehend what it was.

Gradually, a face began to take shape on the green glowing column, its features distinctly clear.

It was a very ancient face, with wrinkles densely packed like ravines, and a long beard hanging down, its length unknown.

Only then did they realize that the thread-like things that had dragged them here were actually the beard growing from that face.

"Phoenix, is that you?" the ancient face suddenly spoke, its voice frail and raspy.

Ye You’s heart stirred, and he responded loudly, "Old sir, I am a descendant of the Jiu Xi Royal Family, Phoenix is our family’s ancestor."

"Oh?" The ancient face seed quite surprised, its chin slightly moving, and the beard binding the magic sphere unraveled, setting the magic sphere free.

After pondering for a mont, Ye You felt that this peculiar face harbored no ill intentions, so he withdrew the magic sphere and stood side by side with Qin Sisi on the ground, facing the ancient face.

"Old sir, may I ask where this place is?" Ye You was very cautious, not directly asking about the person’s origins, but instead inquiring about their current location.

The ancient face slowly said, "This is my ho. I should be asking you how you managed to trespass into my ho."

Ye You paused before saying, "Old sir, we accidentally fell in here while trying to evade our enemies. If we have disturbed your solitary retreat, I apologize. We will leave right away."

The ancient face chuckled, "Considering you are a descendant of Phoenix, you may leave, but that little girl beside you must stay here."

"No way." Ye You flatly refused.

The ancient face suddenly felt very humiliated; as soone who had lived over ten thousand years, it was infuriating to be rejected so directly by a young lad.

"Young man, don’t decline fine wine only to be forced to drink bitter instead," the ancient face looked very angry.

Ye You’s expression also turned cold, having thought this old man was reasonable only to discover he also had ulterior motives.

He put his arm around Qin Sisi’s shoulder, slowly retreating, and prepared themselves for defense.

"Thinking of running? No way!" Seeing Ye You’s movents, the ancient face shouted angrily, and its chin lifted as countless long beards swiftly stretched towards Ye You and Qin Sisi.

Having been bound before, they knew it would be difficult to escape once caught, so they stood back to back, wrapping Fire Attribute Magic Power around their bodies while simultaneously releasing fireballs with their palms to fend off the attacking beards.

Ye You had quietly reminded Qin Sisi that this ancient face must belong to a very old tree that had beco spirit-like. Since trees are particularly wary of flas, using Fire Magic against it was the best strategy.

Sure enough, the once intimidating beards stopped not far from them, slowly swaying their tips, not daring to co closer.

Seeing their thod was effective, Ye You and Qin Sisi switched from defense to offense, protecting themselves while increasing the release of Fire Attribute Magic Power, firing dense fireballs one after another at the restless beards.

The beards retreated segnt by segnt, unable to get close. This outco surprised Qin Sisi and Ye You, making them find this seemingly powerful entity oddly easy to deal with.

Ye You snorted coldly, suddenly leaped forward, bypassing the beards to confront the pillar emitting green light in the center of the hall, unleashing the Magic Fla lting Gold skill towards the old face.

"Ahh!" The old face let out a shrill scream, its expression twisted in pain.

"Your Highness, spare , this old one knows his fault," the old face began to beg earnestly for rcy.

The young person in front of him, a descendant of the Jiuxi Royal Family and in possession of Divine Fire, his identity was almost too apparent.

What astonished it was that the seemingly ordinary young lady also possessed the Divine Fire.

It had lived for tens of thousands of years, its branches, leaves, and roots had all been practiced to an extraordinary level; ordinary flas could not harm it. However, Divine Fire was not an ordinary fla, and even though it had practiced for tens of thousands of years, it could not withstand the power of the ancient Divine Fire.

Today, after being awakened by the Phoenix’s Spiritual Power, it saw two young individuals enter its cave. Initially elated, thinking it could feast upon them.

Although it appeared mysterious and eerie, in reality, it was sowhat hollow. Most of its trunk had already died, leaving only a sliver of vitality that needed to periodically absorb animals’ bodies for energy, naturally, human bodies possessed more abundant and purer vitality.

However, Ye You declared himself a descendant of the Phoenix, making the old tree spirit cautious. In the past, it had fought a fierce battle with a Phoenix and was ultimately defeated. It was also due to that battle that it lost most of its vitality and was barely clinging to life.

Thus, it was profoundly fearful of the Phoenix, thereby not daring to target Ye You, hoping instead to make Ye You leave while keeping Qin Sisi behind.

Unexpectedly, Ye You flatly refused and didn’t hesitate to battle it.

What it hadn’t anticipated was that today it would be so unlucky to encounter two kinds of Divine Fire simultaneously. Its roots dared not approach the opponents, which ant it could hardly reap any benefits, and even its last bit of vitality might be hard to preserve.

In panic and helplessness, the old tree spirit made a decisive decision to start begging piteously for rcy.

Yet, Ye You didn’t buy it; he had long figured out that this old tree spirit harbored ill intentions towards them. If it wasn’t for him being a Phoenix descendant, the old tree spirit wouldn’t have let him leave amicably.

If their powers were insufficient to withstand the old tree spirit’s attacks, they would likely end up as its nourishnt.

Having realized this, Ye You was even less likely to show rcy. He raised his right hand, gathered the Gold Attribute Magic Power, and used the Vigor Gold Knife skill to strike the old tree spirit.

Gold overcos wood; using Gold Attribute Magic skills against a Wood Attribute spirit was extrely fitting.

The old tree spirit hurriedly retracted all its beards for defense, but wherever the black great knife passed, every beard was sharply chopped off, just like cutting vegetables.

These beards were actually the roots of the great tree and also belonged to the Wood Attribute. If the old tree spirit was in its peak condition, naturally, it wouldn’t fear this Gold Attribute Magic attack.

But now, its days were fading, desolate and barren, whereas Ye You was like the rising sun, radiating brilliance.

The black silhouette of the great knife seamlessly chopped through countless roots of the great tree and also cut the pillar emitting green light. The old tree spirit let out a ghastly wail, which gradually ceased in the end.
