Tree demons

Tree demons (树妖) found in Dark Forest of the Spirit World and the Heaven Devouring Forest
== Info ==
* They have red blood (as seen when LC slashes through their coiling branches)
* This tree actually possessed its own consciousness.
* The trees can fly, and they fly in a swarm.
Those trees were incredibly quick. In the air, they were like huge, black clouds. Countless roots stabbed toward him.
They were clearly several miles away, but those roots seemed to be able to grow limitlessly. The reached him in an instant.
Then, these trees merged together. Their crowns combined and their roots intertwined. They transformed into one enormous creature that rapidly chased after them, and their speed actually increased. Long Chen had never seen such a bizarre thing. These trees were actually working like an army. After the trees had merged, their aura had become even more sinister and chilly.
==Tree saplings==
When he tossed the fruit into the primal chaos space, he was startled to find that the resulting sapling was incredibly large.
While it was still just a soft shoot, it had already reached a height of dozens of meters. It only began to harden and mature upon reaching a height of three hundred meters. He hastily snapped off a branch and planted it as well.
The branch also began to slowly grow. That relieved him, and then he stealthily climbed down the tree.
He pointed to another huge tree and the two of them quietly walked over. Meng Qi once more stayed down to keep watch.
This tree was different from the previous one. It was actually covered in azure scales.
Since they had arrived here, Long Chen wanted to get as many seeds as possible. These trees were too big, and he didn't have enough time to grow them to their limit in the primal chaos space. He could only tell how much life energy they had in their sapling state.
There was no way he could wait longer. Danger was everywhere here. Staying even an extra minute might be fatal. So Long Chen was only planning on getting the seeds from the closest trees before leaving.
If the trees he picked had less life energy in them than the others in the forest, he could only resign himself to his bad luck. He definitely couldn't stay here for too long.
==Tree types==
There are different kinds of trees in the dark forest
* ordinary tree with fruits
* tree with azure scales
* large tree demon with no fruits
Long Chen took seeds from three more large trees. Then looking around, he saw another kind of huge tree.
This tree had natural lines on its leaves that looked like runes. Furthermore, this tree was even larger than the others. It looked ten times wider than them.
Long Chen's heart immediately began to quicken. Originally, he had been planning on leaving now. But now that he saw this huge tree, he couldn't move.
In the end, he clenched his teeth and walked over. His greed had won. He began to climb the tree.
Once he reached the top, he suddenly found that this tree had no fruits. Was it a male?
Helpless, Long Chen looked around. He saw a small branch around the thickness of an arm. He pulled but found that this branch was extremely sturdy. It didn't immediately break.
That made him extremely startled. With his current power, he could snap an Enchanted weapon with his bare hands. But he was unable to snap a branch.
He didn't try any harder. Such a strong branch would cause a loud noise if he broke it with brute force. In this deathly silent forest, that was definitely not good.
He stealthily took out Blooddrinker. Blood-red light flashed as the branch was cut off. But where it was cut, a red liquid began to flow out like blood.
== Heaven Devouring Forest ==
That vine was several feet thick and was like a huge python that had caught its prey. It coiled around the flying boat tightly.
Terrifying auras began to come from the trees. Those auras were similar to Magical Beasts, and they were not weaker than Soul Transformation experts.
The voice was like scraping metal and unpleasant to listen to. Furthermore, it was very strange. It was not the result of a mental transmission but true sound waves.
Only at this time could Long Chen get a look at the giant figure. It was a huge wooden giant. Its head was covered in leaves, and its facial features were very vague. As for its eyes, they were two deep holes.
But Long Chen sensed terrifying fluctuations coming from it. It was his first time seeing such a bizarre wooden giant.
Since these trees came from the Spirit World, the first thing Long Chen thought of was the forest divinity he had encountered in the Eastern Wasteland. It had also been a tree-shaped lifeform. But the two were very different. Her aura had been pure and graceful, while these tree giants possessed berserk auras even more violent than a Magical Beast's.
Long Chen also thought of how he had helped the forest divinity gather flesh to activate a blood sacrifice and condense a gate between worlds.
At that time, Long Chen had been very curious. That tree divinity had clearly been terrifyingly powerful, more than strong enough to kill Magical Beasts. But she had said that if it killed creatures on its own, it would absorb their resentment and grievance along with their energy, and that was poison.
That tree divinity had also come from the Spirit World. Then based on this, did it mean that the Spirit World's creatures were split into two types? One type was similar to the forest divinity, while another was like these violent tree demons?
== Jade Lake Sacred Land ==
When the Jade Lake's water landed on the tree demons, they let out startled cries. Smoke started coming out of their bodies like they were being corroded. They rapidly withered.
The golden tree demons dug their way into the ground and didn't dare to come back up. Now the land was empty of tree demons.
These tree demons were dark creatures, while the Jade Lake possessed a sacred aura that was their bane. They could only retreat in front of it. The golden tree demons had to run, but the silver tree demons instantly vanished into smoke when touched by the water.
=== Bronze tree demons ===
Found in the black channel of the Black Continent:
The ground in front of them exploded, and a huge figure appeared before it. It was a giant tree demon blocking their path.
It looked like a wooden giant with a saber in its hand. Its entire body emitted a bronze color.
"It's a bronze tree demon," explained Chu Yao. "Bronze tree demons are true members of the tree demons' fighters, not like the weak ones we just charged past. They have about the power of ordinary Life Star experts."
=== Silver tree demons ===
In the past, each time the black channel began to act up, the silver tree demons had been the leaders of the insurrection. They had been very rare, but now they were everywhere.
Hundreds of silver tree demons attacked with their silver blades. Those huge blades whistled as they slashed down at them. They were truly terrifying.
=== Golden tree demons ===
However, those golden arrows were so powerful that his arm became a bit numb. Large, sharp tentacles now shot out of the ground at Long Chen, like golden war spears.
"It's golden tree demons! They're extremely powerful, so be careful!" Chu Yao's expression changed slightly. This time, the tree demons that had appeared in the black channel were not just unprecedented in numbers, but also unprecedented in power.
Due to the wall between worlds, there were normally very few golden tree demons capable of entering the black channel. However, there were so many of them this time.
The six of them crossed a certain distance before the golden tree demons attacked again. This time, they weren't using tentacles. Their true bodies came out of the ground.
They looked like they were made of gold. They didn't have large treetops, but they had countless roots. Their trunks were like giant mountains.
"Damn, these golden tree demons can instantly kill Life Star experts," exclaimed Long Chen. Just how had the Skywood Divine Palace managed to defend this channel for so many years against so many golden tree demons?
"No one knows what happened, but some problem has occurred in the black channel. Before, when we tidied up the black channel, there would only be two to three golden tree demons at most. There have never been this many," explained Chu Yao upon seeing Long Chen's shock.
How were there two to three? Thirty thousand probably wasn't even enough to count them. They had completely surrounded the Jade Lake.
"These golden tree demons are absorbing the Jade Lake's immortal spiritual qi. However, they can't absorb it directly and can only assimilate the energy from the earth. All we have to do is charge our way through their blockade and reach the Jade Lake. They are very afraid of the Jade Lake's water, so if we get past them, they won't be able to do anything to us," said Chu Yao.
"These golden tree demons have a certain resistance to my black soil. Let's try something else." Long Chen found that the black soil he had summoned wasn't that effective against the golden tree demons. At the very least, they weren't terrified of it. He didn't want to bring out too much of it and let it be seen by Di Xin and Shen Bijun.
Long Chen used Raging Flames Devour the Heavens.
Flames enveloped his body and formed a huge sea. These golden flames instantly set the golden tree demons on fire. However, the golden tree demons were extremely tough and were not immediately burned to death. They dug their way underground again in an attempt to extinguish the flames.
However, their thinking was too simple. The Heaven Incinerating Flame was not so easy to deal with. Only extremely powerful Heavenly Dao energy could extinguish it.
These golden tree demons might be powerful, but they had no Heavenly Dao energy. Most importantly, they were weak to fire.
Long Chen slashed his saber, destroying the tentacles of the tree demons. In the domain of his golden flames, their defensive power sharply dropped, allowing him to cut through them like tofu.
Long Chen charged his way through, quickly reaching the edge of the Jade Lake.
The six of them jumped in together. The flames vanished, and the golden tree demons charged to the edge of the lake. However, they didn't dare to take half a step further. They didn't dare to attack them now that they were in the Jade Lake.
Long Chen put away his Heaven Incinerating Flame, and the flames on the tree demons vanished. Although they had been burned black, their combat power hadn't dropped much.
