280: C280 People from the Mayor's Palace

C280 People from the Mayor's Palace

Seeing this, Ding Yi suddenly stood up and frowned as he looked at the big tree.

The tree trunk was as thick as their arms. The dense branches crisscrossed each other, covering most of the sky. However, what trapped Lee Wan wasn't the branches of the tree, but the vines that hung down from the ancient tree.

The light green vines were covered with white markings, making them look like poisonous snakes that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. These vines wrapped around Lee Wan, tightly binding her in midair and preventing her from moving an inch.

"What is it, go to hell!" Lee Wan had already recovered most of her strength after a night of rest.

With a soft shout, a vine appeared in her hands. Just as she was about to continue tearing the vines apart, dozens of vines wrapped around Lee Wan. In a few breaths, they had formed a cluster of vines around her.

Lee Wan's body was no longer visible because of the twisting vines and weak curses.

"When are you going to see this?!" Finally, Lee Wan's weak cry for help came from the vines.

Hearing this, the corner of Ding Yi's mouth curved into a smile. The reason why he didn't attack earlier was because he was waiting for Lee Wan to speak. Now, with Lee Wan's voice, Ding Yi said lightly, "Don't struggle. Relax."

With that, Ding Yi directly stomped on the ground and flew toward the ancient tree, escaping from the vines. He ignored the vines wrapped around Lee Wan, and instead landed on the branches of the ancient tree, grabbing the vines that couldn't dodge in time.

Without a sound, the vines were torn apart by Ding Yi, but he felt a ripple, like the vines were roaring in pain. This made Ding Yi's face slightly darken. As expected, these plants also evolved!

Although the Strange Fruit trees did not evolve for some reason and only bore fruits that could make people evolve, some of the trees were different and used the fruit's power on their own bodies.

In fact, Ding Yi had already guessed that all living things have a spirit. Since animals can evolve, so can plants. As long as they can obtain that peculiar power, anything can evolve!

"Evil creature, are you going to let her go yourself, or do you want me to tear your corpse into a thousand pieces and burn you to ashes?!" Although Ding Yi didn't say anything, he was able to clearly sense the vines.

As Ding Yi's consciousness entered the vine, the vines that were tightening suddenly trembled. Soon after, a muddled consciousness seemed to awaken within the vine. At the same time, a loud roar followed the vine and entered Ding Yi's mind.

Teng Meng shrunk into a ball and Lee Wan screamed. Ding Yi's expression changed. Lee Wan was his guide, so she definitely couldn't die at this moment.

"You're courting death!" Ding Yi squinted slightly and snorted. The Spiritual Energy in his body rushed out from his palm.

These pure Spiritual Energy s were supposed to be good things to nourish the body, but at this moment, they were like a torrential flood.

Lee Wan's tendrils also began to twist rapidly. Before they could let go of Lee Wan, they had already turned into fragments that fell to the ground.

"It's too late to beg for mercy now. I've given you a chance." Ding Yi did not move at all. All living things have a spirit. Animal cultivation was not easy, and plants were even more difficult. He did not want to destroy this vine, but unfortunately, the other party did not know what was good for him.

At this moment, Ding Yi was neither sad nor happy. Under his control, the Spiritual Energy immediately charged into the vine's main body. With a light twist, a vine as thick as an infant's arm hidden in the tree trunk turned to dust with a loud bang.

Plop! Lee Wan fell to the ground, unconscious.

Seeing this, Ding Yi slapped his storage bag and took out a bottle of mineral water. He unscrewed the lid and poured it all over Lee Wan's face.

"Ah!" Lee Wan was immediately jolted awake.

She sat up abruptly. The cold mineral water gave her a shock and she screamed subconsciously. When she saw Ding Yi, she touched her face and bellowed, "You dare to splash water on me! I'm not done with you!"

Hearing this, Ding Yi ignored her. He turned around and walked away as he said lightly: "Since you're awake, then let's go. I'm in a hurry."

"Hmph, what a braggart!" Lee Wan grumbled, but she did not dare to stay behind as she quickly followed behind Ding Yi.

Following the route Lee Wan pointed out, Ding Yi took her left and right. Finally, they arrived at the location where the Heavenly God Fruit was growing. After Ding Yi promised not to snatch her Heavenly God Fruit three times, Lee Wan agreed to take Ding Yi there.

However, just as the two of them approached where the Heavenly God Fruits grew, they discovered two corpses torn apart. The surrounding trees had all been destroyed beyond recognition; a fierce battle had taken place here before.

The culprit should not be a human but a Snow Monster that could be seen everywhere in the Freer Mountain Range. Thinking about the strength of the Snow Monster, it was likely that the two of them were not the opponent of the beasts, which was also the truth.

"Impossible! How could someone appear here!?" Seeing the two corpses, Lee Wan's expression changed. She gritted her teeth and said, "This place is our Lee Family's secret, even the people I brought here don't know the location, so it's impossible for anyone to come here!"

"Let's go take a look!" Lee Wan did not wait for Ding Yi to speak as she took out a map from her pocket and ran to the marked location.2

She had come this time for the Heavenly God Fruit and had gone through countless hardships to get here. If someone else got here first, then it would truly be a loss for both husband and wife.

Seeing that, Ding Yi's eyes flashed, and also followed along. The clothes of the two corpses looked familiar, as if they were the clothes worn by someone from City Lord's Mansion. If that was really the case, perhaps Jin Wudao was here.

There were a total of seven or eight mysterious people wearing masks, and Jin Wudao was probably one of them!

Thinking of this, Ding Yi quickened his pace and quickly caught up with Lee Wan.

Not far away from Ding Yi and Lee Wan, the trees gradually became sparse. With a dead ancient tree as the center, there were no plants within a hundred meter radius.

This ancient tree was already dead, its branches crisscrossed about, leaving only a single branch glowing with green light. A few dark green leaves adorned its surface, and two translucent fruits hung from its branches.

"Is this the legendary Heavenly God Fruit Tree?" A group of people wearing black cloaks stood under a tree and raised their heads to look at the two fruits. The person in the lead couldn't help but exclaim, "Deadwood is indeed extraordinary!"
