Chapter 1113: Chapter 698: The First Struggle of the Tools
The rear troops were driven 500 meters down by Jiang Feng’s firm orders.
Fu Jianzhou no longer froze a single giant tree, but spread out a thick cold mist, like spreading rings of frost, drifting outwards.
Again, it was proven that every ancient spiritual artifact is a ruler in its own field!
Under the absolute control of the Jade Gourd, the Youhan Giant Wood was at the mercy of others.
And in such an environment, the Frost Celestial Bead seemed to become the nemesis of the Youhan Giant Wood!
Above the Bottomless Camp, Yang Qingqing sensed everything inside the gourd and couldn’t help but nod silently.
Among the disciples, there was another one who could cause harm to the Cold Tree!
Or rather, more than a month ago, after Fu Jianzhou contracted the Frost Celestial Bead, he possessed this strength.
It’s just that since Fu Jianzhou hadn’t been in contact with Bottomless recently, it hadn’t been displayed.
So now the question arises: is the matter of destroying the Youhan Tree Root still Du Yu’s specialty?
Perhaps we’ll have to test it to know.
However, as far as the means of destroying the Cold Wood are concerned, Du Yu is undoubtedly the more powerful one.
Du Yu’s tree-felling method is tyrannical to the extreme!
It’s as though he’s not cutting down a tree but tearing apart a certain section of this world.
Fu Jianzhou’s methods, on the other hand, are relatively gentle and more dependent on the Jade Gourd.
In thought, Yang Qingqing turned her head to look at her disciple beside her.
Du Yu was gazing at the tranquil camp below, unaware of what was happening deep underground.
Realizing Master Qing was looking at him, Du Yu immediately perked up: "Does Master Qing have any instructions?"
Yang Qingqing floated backward, gently stroking the snow-white back of the Immortal Deer.
"Nai~" Bai Yujing responded immediately; understanding her mistress was on a mission.
Hence, Bai Yujing restrained herself, not daring to speak and interrupt.
Ever since the Ashen Continent, her mistress hadn’t lovingly caressed her for a long time!
"Heh." Yang Qingqing sensed the Beautiful Immortal Deer’s feelings.
She sat sideways on the deer’s back, sitting behind Du Yu.
Du Yu: "..."
I thought you were going to give me some task, but it turns out you just want to catch a seat?
Yang Qingqing closed her eyes and finely sensed everything inside the gourd, her hand gently stroking the snow deer’s fur beside her.
"Nai~" Bai Yujing was extremely happy, her head swayed gleefully, and the colorful flowers swayed with the wind, emitting a faint fragrance.
Yang Qingqing: "The advance troops have reached a depth of two thousand meters at Bottomless."
Du Yu was startled: "That fast?"
"Didn’t you advance quickly the last time you cleared Bottomless?" Yang Qingqing said casually, "Moreover, this time, not only is the Great Xia Corps descending but also the assistance of the Divine Tree."
"Hmm..." Du Yu nodded, gripping the Fire Age Axe tightly, "I’m ready."
"Relax." Emperor Qing’s jade hand suddenly lifted and fell onto Du Yu’s back.
For a moment, Bai Yujing was a bit disappointed.
Though not jealous of her mistress, well... at least envious.
Yang Qingqing patted her disciple’s tense body: "Your Senior Brother Fu performed very well, the Frost Celestial Bead can freeze the Cold Wood, and then tear it apart."
Du Yu’s eyes lit up: "Oh?"
Yang Qingqing smiled slightly: "Later, let Jianzhou try, to see if he can freeze the Cold Tree Root and tear it apart."
"Is the Frost Celestial Bead that powerful?" Du Yu beamed with joy; that’s so satisfying... wait!
Whoa?
Your king has become a mere tool, and now my only purpose is to chop down the Youhan Tree Root.
Yet Senior Brother Fu has ’snatched’ this task?
Du Yu then realized the hand settling on his back from the woman might be silently comforting him?
Is it because she’s worried I’d feel disappointed?
"Master Qing." Du Yu spoke, "You know me, I wish nothing more than for our people to become divine and saintly immediately.
My goal isn’t just to destroy this Cold Tree, not even just the Cold Trees of this world.
I hope those closest to me get stronger and stronger, strong beyond limit."
"Hmm, I understand you." Yang Qingqing’s face showed a slight smile.
Words can vary wildly, but actions don’t lie.
Along this journey, Fu Jianzhou, Lin Shiwei, Li Mengnan, even including Yang Qingqing herself, who among them hasn’t received Du Yu’s care?
And who hasn’t rapidly improved in strength under Du Yu’s help?
Du Yu isn’t an indiscriminate Sudhana; his efforts are given to the right people, only for those close to him.
Counting these people around Du Yu, which of them is not willing to risk their lives to desperately protect him?
So... the stronger these people are, the better!
The Youhan Tree on the Ashen Continent can even make the Burning Sun Golden Crow flee in a sorry state, reduced to only a remaining Demon Soul...
Its power is as you can imagine!
Du Yu must strengthen himself as much as possible.
"Du Yu, Du Yu~"
"Huh?"
Little Fen Yang looked a bit dejected: "Aren’t we chopping trees anymore?"
Du Yu: "Uh, this..."
Little Fen Yang pouted, unhappily mumbling, "I’ve been looking forward to it for so long, I want to chop trees."
"Chop! You want to chop, we must chop!" Du Yu made a swift decision and turned to look at Master Qing.
"Hmm?" Yang Qingqing slightly raised an eyebrow, showing a look of inquiry.
Du Yu said, "I want to chop the Cold Tree Root here."
Yang Qingqing gently nodded: "Sword Province may not be able to handle the Cold Tree Root, you are our backup, our insurance."
Du Yu shook his head: "No, regardless of whether Senior Brother Fu succeeds or not, I want to chop this Cold Tree."
Yang Qingqing was startled, looking at her disciple’s serious face.
She knew her disciple too well,
On specific issues, Du Yu can be a bit stubborn, but he is never capricious.
Could it be...
After a little thought, Yang Qingqing understood.
Maybe the Fire Age Axe in his hand is ready to go, or the Void Axe is fully prepared, or perhaps the Little Golden Crow inside him is impatient.
A person like her disciple could not disappoint them.
It seems it was my oversight.
Yang Qingqing patted Du Yu’s back apologetically: "The Cold Tree Root is yours to chop. Just leave a small piece for Sword Province to test."
"Mm!" Du Yu nodded emphatically.
That’s more like it!
I am Master Qing’s number one tool person!
That fellow surnamed Fu will have to step back a bit~
"Yay~!" Little Fen Yang cheered excitedly, her little head emerging slightly from Du Yu’s back.
Little Fen Yang used the top of her phantom head to rub against the palm on Du Yu’s back: "Little Aunt Qingqing is the best!"
"Hehe." Yang Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh, secretly thinking it was indeed the case.
"Time to chop trees, time to chop trees~" Little Fen Yang mumbled, "When are we going? It’s so slow!"
It was obvious that peeling bark was no longer enough to satisfy the ever-growing desire and ambition of the Little Golden Crow.
Only by chopping trees could it temporarily ease its fixation.
Yang Qingqing watched through her slender fingers at the swirling Demon Soul, and softly said: "Soon, count to 30."
"Eh?" Little Fen Yang blinked, "Then I’ll start counting~"
In dealing with children, or rather with Du Yu’s Little Golden Crow, Yang Qingqing seemed overly gentle.
Yang Qingqing smiled: "Count away."
Little Fen Yang: "1...2..."
"So fast?" Du Yu was surprised, "We didn’t talk for that long, did we?"
He asked, "Is a distance of a thousand meters reached that quickly? Just building the wall should take longer, right?"
Yang Qingqing: "You don’t know how urgent the Divine Tree is. The last thousand meters of depth, the walls aren’t made of earth."
Du Yu: "Hmm? Then they are..."
His words stopped, and he vaguely sensed something.
"Yes, it’s exactly as you think." Yang Qingqing sighed softly, "The last kilometer of the mountain range is built from the liberated Divine Spirit Branches."
Du Yu: !!!
Good heavens~
There is such a solution?
To end the battle quickly, the Divine Tree really did put in all the effort itself.
Lord Divine Tree, was it worried that a Cold Beast·Supreme might emerge from the Bottomless Gate?
Du Yu thought quietly for a while, and suddenly Little Fen Yang shouted: "Thirty! Thirty!"
Yang Qingqing did not disappoint the Little Golden Crow and immediately said: "Let’s go."
"Let’s go!" Du Yu pressed down with one hand and patted the deer’s back, "We’re going to chop trees!"
"Nai!" Bai Yujing plunged rapidly, diving toward the ground camp.
