The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 681 The Divine Tree of Qinling
"Rumble--"

Master Fuli used all his strength to uproot the willow tree. The entire cave collapsed under the drag and the weight of the precious tree itself. The cave collapsed instantly, and the rocks of immeasurable weight buried the lower caverns.

A giant tree, hundreds of meters tall, lay among the ruins as the cave collapsed.

A trickle of water flowed from the cave ceiling, and rectangular clay boxes, carried by the stream, fell from the upper space, crashing against the rocks and making a series of crackling sounds.

Strange human skeletons rolled out of the pottery box and into the cave space.

The cave, filled with smoke and dust, fell silent after the awe-inspiring power displayed by the venerable Fuli.

"boom--"

Visible gusts of air erupted from the bottom of the ruins, overturning and crushing rocks, and sweeping up the smoke and dust that filled the cave and obscured the view.

A white, nine-tailed figure stood abruptly at the bottom of the cave ruins. Lord Fuli, holding a heavy hammer, slightly raised his silent, solemn face, his sharp gaze fixed on the figure that, even after lying down, remained as imposing as a mountain.

Baoshu's figure was completely exposed.

Its shape is extremely strange. In order to find enough spiritual particles, the Treasure Tree no longer has the form of a normal tree growing and developing.

It looks like an oval-shaped wooden stake, with roots and branches at both ends seeking nutrients.

"Tree Master! Come out!"

"I've already stood before you with a clear conscience, just as you wished. Now, control the bamboo shoots and sneak attack my backside!"

"I guarantee you won't make a sound during a single blow!"

Master Fuli took a step forward, pushing the gravity hammer he was holding, and walked towards the surface of the tree.

The Tree God's form is exceptionally large; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a small mountain.

But Master Fuli had already seen through it; its enormous size was an illusion. The spiritual particles flowing through the cave all originated from the tree roots and flowed towards a verdant core.

In conjunction with what Bashan Mosquito once said, the tree spirit packed its bags and ran away all night without disturbing any living creatures.

All the evidence points to one thing.

Tree Grandpa has begun to take on a human form.

Besides making it easier to beat up the Tree God, the more important reason why Master Fuli pulled the Tree God out was to find the Tree God's true form hidden inside the tree.

"Woo——"

As if sensing the malice of the Fortune Fox Lord, the emerald green light within the precious tree seemed to recover from the shock of being forcibly pulled out by the fox.

The ball of light emitted a melodious "whoosh".

Immediately afterwards, dense, sharp wooden thorns suddenly sprouted from the originally smooth tree trunk, and the entire bark twisted and turned like a massive, overwhelming hand that slammed down on the Fuli Master, who was heading straight for the core.

The entire tree twisted and groaned, or rather, it began a new cycle of growth, transforming into a new form.

"boom--"

At this moment, the bark of the entire tree resembled a vast, turbulent sea, and the figure of Master Fuli was also undulating on it, unable to find a foothold.

But on the paws of the leopard, the fox claws dug tightly into the bark, gripping the gravity hammer, and blasted a spiritual particle impact in mid-air against the spiked hand attacking him.

The heavy hammer struck the void, and the front of the hammer body generated a crimson spark by friction with the air.

A milky white surge erupted from the hammer, transforming into a dry tornado that met the giant hand. In the spiraling airflow, the sharp giant hand was reduced to countless fragments that scattered onto the tree trunk.

The spiraling torrents crashed against the cave, causing another collapse, with rocks smashing onto the treasure tree's head.

"woo"

This time, Baoshu let out a whimper of pain, but its transformation of form did not stop.

The entire tree transformed into liquid, and the turbid river seeped into the surrounding area of ​​the cave, adhering to the cave surface or the cave ceiling, forming dense, protruding shapes.

Ancient wood fibers, coated with a metallic luster, and endless vines, roots, and spears emerge, all working together to endlessly strangle the two living beings inside the cave.

The roar was deafening, and the rock formations trembled.

A wooden figure, about fifty meters tall, emerged from the cave covered in tree bark. A ball of emerald green light floated above the figure's head, gazing down at the space below. The treasure tree was exceptionally large, but it lacked the mental power of Unos.

Its perception of the outside world relies on its eyes and the tactile feedback from the bark fibers.

There is a living creature in the cave, a white fox.

Another living being, or rather, a life form, is a non-human aberration that escaped from the cave ruins.

Whether he hit one or two, it was still the same fight, so Baoshu didn't hesitate to choose to fight two at once.

These are all precious spirit particles; we can't waste them.

"call out--"

A white beam of light pierced through the curtain of the sky from the endless ocean of plants, striking the wooden figure directly at its shoulder and creating a shattered dent.

"?"

Baoshu glanced at his shoulder, his expression froze, and looked at the only large hole in the wave of plants. He saw Master Fuli standing at the bottom, with golden plant spears piercing his body.

The sharp spear came hurtling towards him head-on, but Master Fuli stood still without dodging or avoiding it.

The spear pierced through, its tip bending instantly, releasing a large amount of tree sap that slid off the fur of the old fox and veiled other vine spears.

The tree roots, which should have strangled living creatures, tightened to the point of cracking inch by inch the moment they wrapped around the body of the Fortune Fox, yet they still could not budge it in the slightest.

Amidst the endless waves of plants, the not-so-tall Fuli, like a coastal reef, calmly gazes upwards with its two eyes, like a beacon.

It was as if he was saying, "I've got you!"

"boom--"

When the Fuyou Cannon reached the reaction threshold, its deafening roar reverberated through the two layers of caverns, completely drowning out the tense "crackling" sounds made by the crawling plants.

The wooden figure on top suddenly shattered at the shoulder, and its head flew high into the air amidst the deafening explosion before plummeting downwards.

"If I had known that you, like me, were a fellow seeker of physical ascension, I should have brought my new energy warhammer and given you a 'Fu Li Bai Yue' (a type of mythical beast) performance."

"Your dream of becoming a hegemon—"

"The end!"

The Fuli Master, who had been poised to act, lifted his foot and tore off the vines binding him. He stomped heavily on the ground, breaking the tree roots and spears that were blocking his way, and dragged the entire forest of plants forward.

"Kaka——"

With a taut grip, Master Fuli pulled the gravity hammer out of the swamp-like waves of plants, causing the entire forest to rise, and then slammed it down on his head.

"Zizzi-"

The heavy, fleshy hammer slammed into the wooden dummy's head. The instant the two made contact, the intense, crimson heat instantly seeped into the dummy's skull. The wood carbonized under the intense heat, and the fifteen-meter-tall head began to disintegrate.

"boom--"

The surging waves were like a cutting machine, grinding away the outer layer of woody fibers from the skull bit by bit, turning it into powder.

Amidst the surging waves and billowing clouds.

A dark green humanoid figure tumbled and crashed heavily against the top of the cave, shattering a corner of the cave and knocking over several clay tombs. It stumbled and crashed into a rock wall, where the immense force it carried caused a collapse that dented the rock several meters deep.

Lord Fuli charged up his hammer and struck, blasting the treasure tree several miles away. It became embedded in the wall, merging with the entire cave's rock face, making it impossible to pry out.

"And you even attacked my butt—"

"I'll kick your basket to pieces first, and see if you still dream of becoming a tyrant."

Master Fuli panted twice, dragging the tangled forest of plants as he crawled out of the cave, also pulling the forest rooted in the rock wall out of the cave, and chased after Master Tree.

A black, beast-like slime, its face full of confusion, was hung at the end of the plant forest and then dragged away.
