Chapter 1111: Chapter 697: Tree-Cutting Assistant?
Yang Qingqing’s face was gentle, her white jade fingers brushed past Jiang Feng’s tear-stained eyes, and she softly said, "Du Yu."
"Present." Behind her, Du Yu, carrying a bow and axe, rode Lu Fei forward.
Yang Qingqing: "You will stay by my side to guard."
"Alright." Du Yu nodded decisively.
Guarding Master Qing, of course, he was a million times willing in his heart.
Yang Qingqing’s eyes were gentle, she lowered her tear-stained hand, looked at the female disciple in front of her, and asked, "In your current state, are you able to take on the role of the captain?"
Jiang Feng slowly shook her head, very aware of her limitations: "Master Qing, better change someone else."
Yang Qingqing, however, laughed, "Then you will be the captain, leading Fu Jianzhou, Lin Shiwei, and Li Mengnan into the Bottomless."
Jiang Feng slightly opened her mouth, immediately understanding Master Qing’s intentions.
Before the transfer, Jiang Feng was originally the captain of the special task force, very aware of the responsibilities of this position.
Under these circumstances, Jiang Feng had to restrain other overwhelming emotions, focusing more on the mission itself.
Yang Qingqing ordered, "I have only one requirement: Your squad is not allowed to leave the area where the Jade Gourd is located."
Jiang Feng: "Yes!"
Yang Qingqing nodded gently, "Go, Xiaofeng, go pierce through this Bottomless."
Jiang Feng nodded heavily, resolute and powerful: "Yes!"
Watching Master Qing’s disciples fly down, Du Yu also became a bit anxious: "Master Qing, I..."
Yang Qingqing glanced lightly at Du Yu: "What? Guarding me, it’s a grievance to you?"
"Not at all, not at all." Du Yu shook his head repeatedly, speaking quietly, "I like staying beside Master Qing, always protecting Master Qing."
Yang Qingqing quietly looked at Du Yu, a faint smile crossing her eyes.
Du Yu didn’t dare speak again, could only watch the figures of his senior brothers and sisters fade into the distance.
At first, when Master Qing asked him to stay here, Du Yu didn’t react.
Now he realized that Master Qing didn’t intend to let him enter the Bottomless Abyss?
Du Yu certainly didn’t think Master Qing wanted to keep him by her side for no reason... Hmm, maybe a little possible?
But the greater possibility was because of the Youhan Tree!
Given Du Yu’s relationship with the Youhan Tree, once Du Yu entered, he would surely trigger the tree’s frenzy, even extreme retaliation!
This meant that not only Du Yu himself was in mortal danger, but he could also bring immense disaster to the military.
Even though the goal of the Great Xia’s operation was to destroy the Cold Tree, the tree’s resistance was varied.
Struggling with all might versus perishing together, of course, there’s a vast difference.
"The Bottomless Tower is filled with Spirit Branches, our most powerful reinforcements, you don’t have to worry too much," Master Qing said softly, then flipped her jade hand.
Under the gazes of countless soldiers, a Jade Gourd quietly appeared.
Dark green, the gourd was wholly jade, flawless jade, crystal-clear and warm.
Yet in the hands of Master Qing, dressed in white like snow, this Ancient Spiritual Artifact·Jade Gourd manifested a more elegant and graceful charm.
Slowly, the Jade Gourd passed through the palm of the woman, falling straight downward.
From 300 meters high, the Beautiful Jade Gourd fell like this, making one worry that the gourd might shatter.
"Pop~"
This was the crisp sound Du Yu imagined in his mind.
The Jade Gourd did indeed shatter, breaking into endless energy, attaching silently to the ground of the camp.
Yang Qingqing closed her eyes, her fingers gently pointing downward.
Notably, as the Jade Gourd turned into energy, expanding more and more, the dark green gradually transformed into light green, the color becoming more elegant.
Crystal-clear energy seeped through the ground, infiltrating into the Bottomless Maze.
People on the surface didn’t see overly stunning scenes, but the soldiers in the Bottomless Maze were wide-eyed!
The ceiling had swirling dense energy, gentle and clear, falling like raindrops, or flowing along walls like a stream.
Suddenly, everyone in the maze paused, their bodies tense.
Such astounding means, such terrifying aura, inevitably stirred fear in the heart.
The soldiers immediately realized that Emperor Qing had taken action!
In the sky, Yang Qingqing focused on sensing everything within the Jade Gourd.
Pure flawless energy continued surging deep into the Bottomless, penetrating beneath the 20-layer maze, also finding the "mountain body" built by the soldiers.
The earth formed a massive circular wall, with a diameter of 2500 meters.
And the earth wall wasn’t built straight downward, at 100 meters deep, the military specially funneled the wall inwards, presenting a "closing" posture overall.
The shape was like an inverted pyramid.
Even though it was closed, it was not yet a complete success.
Soldiers, with Demon Beasts, pierced through the mud wall downwards, continuing to build walls vertically downward, and after another 100 meters, funneled again.
The Jade Gourd was very happy with such a temporary mountain body, layers of energy quickly adhered to it.
The Jade Gourd used the stone ceiling as its base, attached to the inverted pyramid, also opened its "gourd mouth" towards the abyss below.
"Ssss..."
"Roar!!!" The Cold Beast’s roar echoed through the Bottomless Abyss.
Compared to the soldiers fortifying the wall above, the soldiers below were clearing out Cold Beasts, and the battle was intense.
Particularly eerie was that the Cold Wood and Cold Branches inside the Bottomless were still trembling slightly, obviously struggling hard.
But the Spirit Branches binding them tightly entangled the Cold Wood, preventing any movement.
"Jade, your target is only the Cold Tree!" Yang Qingqing was very stern, "Ignore the Cold Beast, pay no attention to anything else!"
Jade Gourd: "Understood!"
"Master Qing." Suddenly, a male voice came from the invisible headphones.
Yang Qingqing still closed her eyes, trying to sense everything within the range of the Jade Gourd.
But such perception wasn’t very precise; to really see a particular place clearly required the Artifact Spirit being at a specific location, and conveying the scene through the contract.
The male soldier’s voice came again through the invisible headphones: "Master Qing, the bottom reports the Ancient Spiritual Artifact has covered the wall body. Shall we begin?"
Yang Qingqing didn’t respond immediately, and her Jade Gourd finally found a special squad.
Jiang Feng led the junior brothers and sisters into the field!
"Hmm?" Jiang Feng had just landed on a Giant Tree when she felt something and looked aside.
She saw an illusory image of Du Yu floating beside her, silently watching the squad members.
In the sky, Yang Qingqing placed one hand on her ear side: "Begin."
"Buzz!!!"
In an instant, the earth walls trembled slightly!
This was undoubtedly a signal!
What delighted the soldiers even more was that the struggling cold wood and branches around them all froze in place.
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~" Immediately, the sound of things cutting through the air followed.
The soldiers’ expressions froze, their spirits extremely tense.
But in the next few seconds, everyone in the Bottomless, all the Demon Beasts, felt a surge of spirit!
The sky was not shaken by cold branches but by spirit branches!
The giant tree that suddenly lifted up was not a cold wood, but a spirit wood!
And this large spirit wood was hollow, clearly originally meant to encase and imprison some cold wood within.
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Spirit branches shot straight down!
On the front lines, those vanguard troops entangled with the Cold Beasts were truly shocked.
A large number of spirit branches brushed past soldiers, skimmed by the Demon Pets, and plunged into the Cold Beasts below.
"Meow!!!" The Evil Soul Cat, known for its rapid speed, was instantly impaled by a spirit branch.
The Evil Soul Cat tribe, known as Death Messengers within the Bottomless Abyss, boasted speed enough to harvest countless human and beast lives.
But in front of the Divine Spirit Branch... Death Messenger?
Ha.
"Woo~" The Water Charm Illusion Spirit emitted a strange throat sound, clearly transformed into a soldier’s image, but was pierced through the head by a spirit branch.
How could a mere blinding technique deceive the Divine Tree?
"Sword Province, center; Mengnan, Shiwei, rear; follow me and kill!" Jiang Feng swiftly descended, during transit, his whole body suddenly enlarged.
Question: How to transform these two over-two-meter-long Lion Bone Sabers, wielded by Jiang Feng, who excels with Tang Blades, into Tang Blades?
Answer: Activate the five-meter Imprisoned Body!
"Hiss!!!" Mud Po Imprisonment let out a hiss, the mud face changed forms, ultimately transforming into a formidable female warrior.
Jiang Feng, transformed into a giant from Mud Po, with sharp mud eyes, rushed downward rapidly.
Fu Jianzhou, somewhat concerned, with scattered petals of pure white pear blossoms, followed down swiftly.
Simultaneously, he contacted the Frost Celestial Bead in his mind for potential use.
Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan exchanged glances, their black and white robes fluttering, darting downward swiftly.
Seeing the unwavering determination of the giant senior sister stirred Li Mengnan’s spirit!
Li Mengnan also had the Electric Soul Imprisonment, Lin Shiwei had the Flame Soul Imprisonment, if they all activated their Imprisoned Bodies...
The scene of three giants with different attributes charging the Bottomless would be explosive, wouldn’t it?
But poor Senior Brother Fu in the middle, such a small figure, surrounded by three giants, might shiver, right?
Li Mengnan was overthinking internally but didn’t say much.
The style and atmosphere of Jiang Feng sister’s team were entirely different from Du Yu’s team.
Beside Li Mengnan, Lin Shiwei was also thoughtful.
Usually charging ahead, she was now positioned at the rear, a bit unaccustomed but didn’t complain.
After all, this Bottomless was a gift Master Qing specially gave to the senior sister.
Accompanying and protecting her through this Bottomless, witnessing Du Yu cutting down the Cold Tree with her...
Is perhaps the greatest support and comfort to this tortured soul.
"Not bad." Above the Bottomless Camp - high in the sky, Yang Qingqing spoke softly.
Du Yu asked, puzzled: "Master Qing?"
Yang Qingqing: "The spirit branches are powerful, helping us greatly, our advancing speed is fast."
The Jade Gourd is indeed a top-tier Magical Artifact in the world, and after acknowledging its master with clear objectives and constraints, its power has increased dramatically!
Du Yu pondered, saying: "Gourd Mountain is special, early on it was taken over by the Jade Gourd, the spirit branches had already withdrawn.
But other Bottomless Pits in the world, are the same as this Bottomless beneath us!
If so, we can replicate this! Have the spirit branches participate in battle, our efficiency in clearing Bottomless Pits will be very fast!"
Yang Qingqing felt inside the Jade Gourd, nodding somewhat in agreement.
"Even..." Du Yu’s heart surged, "We could directly go to the Kunlun Realm, and clear the Bottomless Kunlun?!"
Yang Qingqing paused briefly, then said: "You can privately consult the Twin Trees."
Du Yu grew more interested the more he thought about it.
Triple Jump!
In the Bottomless of Gourd Mountain, try for the first time - use the Void Axe to cut down the Cold Tree.
Facts prove, Du Yu can cut the Cold Tree, the method is feasible!
In the Bottomless Pit of Shiyan City, experiment with the contracted Jade Gourd, cooperate with the Spirit Branch to fight.
Facts prove again, this method is feasible, the advancing speed is impressive, efficiency is extremely high!
So next, it’s straight to the Bottomless Kunlun, catch the thief and catch the king!
"Focus." The woman’s cold voice abruptly sounded, "First focus on the current task."
"Oh." Du Yu suppressed his excited emotions.
Yang Qingqing: "Wait until Gourd Mountain is established, control the Cold Tree Root, then you go down and cut the tree root."
"Mm, mm!" Du Yu nodded repeatedly, suddenly feeling a bit odd.
Oh no!
This king has become a tool person!
Talking about Senior Brother Fu and Senior Brother Li being this little assistant, that little assistant.
Haven’t I become a tree-cutting assistant too?
Emperor Qing has the Jade Gourd to suppress the Cold Tree, the Great Xia Army to help build walls, and the Spirit Branch to assist in charging against Cold Beasts, none of them actually need me?
Clearing the Bottomless?
I clear a fart Bottomless!
I’m just a tree cutter...
