GBP Chapter 336 Going Underground
Chapter 336 Going Underground
"Miss Su, what is going on? Why is the Tree of Life attacking you?" Fu Sheng asked while dodging the attack.
"I've found the source of the pollution." Su Qingning's face was gloomy and her expression was solemn. "It's underground, wrapped by the roots of the Tree of Life."
what? !
Fu Sheng and the others were shocked. How could this happen?! The source of the pollution they'd been searching for was actually right under the Tree of Life! No wonder, no wonder the Tree of Life withered. No wonder the first spirit to be contaminated was the one responsible for watering the Tree of Life. Everything made sense now.
However, even if they knew where the source of the pollution was, Fu Sheng and others could do nothing about it. They couldn't possibly destroy the Tree of Life and pull it out, right?
Just when Fu Sheng and others were worried about this, Su Qingning had already thought of a solution.
"Xiao Jin, Qing Feng, Yin Ling, go underground and dig out the source of the pollution."
As soon as he finished speaking, three rays of light flashed, and three figures appeared beside Su Qingning: a charming woman with blonde hair, golden eyes and a hot body, a tall and handsome man with blue hair and green eyes, and a pretty and beautiful girl with silver hair and blue eyes.
"Yes, Master."
The three divine beasts responded in unison, and then Xiao Jin transformed back into the gold-eating rat beast and began to dig a hole underground.
Perhaps because mice are born with the ability to dig holes, Xiao Jin dug holes very quickly. In a short while, she had drilled several meters deep underground.
Seeing this, Qingfeng and Yinling quickly jumped out of the hole dug by Xiaojin and followed him.
All of this happened in a flash, but Fu Sheng and the other elves were stunned for a long time. They knew Su Qingning was powerful, but they had never thought she had such a contracted beast. What kind of spiritual roots did she have, and how strong was her mental power?!
The Tree of Life seemed to have sensed the threat from the three divine beasts that had burrowed underground, so it relaxed its relentless attack on Su Qingning and the others and instead focused its attention underground.
The tree roots buried underground moved at the same time. They all attacked Xiao Jin, trying to stop her from digging further holes.
If Xiao Jin was the only beast at this time, she would definitely be hindered, but the fact is that Qingfeng and Yinling are by her side. With their protection, Xiao Jin doesn't need to pay attention to the tree roots that try to attack her, because she knows that Qingfeng will never let her get hurt.
Speaking of which, fate is really amazing. Once upon a time, Xiao Jin and Qing Feng were sworn enemies; but since they both became Su Qingning's contracted beasts, they unknowingly developed different feelings for each other during their daily bickering.
Although Qingfeng and Xiaojin have not yet exposed this ambiguity, protecting their loved ones is an instinctive reaction.
So, the three mythical beasts approached the source of pollution little by little while trying not to damage the roots of the Tree of Life.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Jin, Qing Feng and Yin Ling finally saw a curled-up tree root. Although they could not see the black air that Su Qingning saw, they could feel the uncomfortable breath. As they got closer to the root, the feeling became more obvious, and the attacks of the Tree of Life on them became more intense and fierce.
"Master, we've seen the source of the pollution you mentioned." Xiao Jin sent a message to Su Qingning: "It's just that the Tree of Life seems to have gone crazy, attacking fiercely."
Su Qingning waved away a branch that was attacking her and warned through voice transmission: [Be careful and protect yourselves.]
【I know, Master.】
After saying that, Xiao Jin stopped disturbing Su Qingning and concentrated on dealing with the annoying tree roots around him with Qingfeng Yinling.
Time passed minute by minute, and the three divine beasts, Xiaojin, Qingfeng and Yinling, were already very close to the tree roots, but they could only look at the pollution source so close to them but could never touch it. This made them very distressed. At the same time, they didn't know if it was because they had stayed here for too long, they just felt more and more irritated.
"Fuck! These tree roots are so annoying! I really want to cut them all down!" Qing Feng said angrily.
Xiaojin and Yinling were also very angry, but fortunately, they still had their rationality.
"Stupid wolf, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Jin patted Qingfeng's head and said unhappily, "These are the roots of the Tree of Life. If you cut them off, it will cause trouble for the owner."
If Xiao Jin had dared to pat Qing Feng's head like this before, he would have been slapped back by Qing Feng. But now, Qing Feng was miraculously appeased and nodded obediently, "Oh~"
Yin Ling glanced at them and rolled her eyes inwardly. "Really? Why am I eating dog food here? No, when I get back, I must ask the owner for compensation for mental damages."
Su Qingning had been paying attention to the situation underground, and naturally discovered that her three contracted beasts were affected by the pollution. However, she was on the ground and could not help them underground.
Inadvertently, Su Qingning shot out a light element ball, and it happened to hit the Tree of Life. At that moment, the attack of the Tree of Life paused for dozens of seconds. Not only that, Su Qingning also found that the black air in the place hit by the light element tree was eliminated a little. Although it was quickly filled up again, Su Qingning still noticed it.
Su Qingning's eyes lit up, she seemed to have found a way to eliminate the pollution.
[Yinling, use the light element.] Su Qingning immediately sent a message to Yinling: [Use the light element to remove the pollution.]
Yin Ling was slightly stunned, but her body reacted faster than her brain. As Su Qingning finished speaking, she released a healing light element skill: Holy Light.
Before, in order not to harm the roots of the Tree of Life, Yinling and Qingfeng did not use any magic skills. They just raised their hands to push away the attacking roots. Naturally, they did not realize that the light element could fight pollution.
Now, after hearing Su Qingning's instructions, Yin Ling had no more worries. The rich light element surrounded herself, Qingfeng and Xiaojin. When the tree roots touched the light element, they shrank back as if they had encountered a flood or a beast.
She didn’t know if it was Yinling’s illusion, but she always felt that the tree roots were twisting their bodies and retreating, as if they were in pain.
However, whether it was because of the pain or because of the fear of the light element, Yinling was too lazy to think about it. They quickly took the opportunity to approach the ball of tree roots.
The roots of the Tree of Life clearly wanted to stop them from approaching, but they were afraid of the light element and did not dare to move forward.
Finally, under the protection of the light element, the three beasts, Xiaojin, Qingfeng and Yinling, finally arrived in front of the tree roots.
The three beasts stared at the bunch of roots. Because it was wrapped so tightly, they couldn't see what was inside.
"Tsk, it's wrapped so tightly."
Yin Ling curled her lips and reached out to move closer to the tree roots. "I want to see what's inside."
