Pff~
Qin Tian dove into the lake. At first glance, he saw the towering willow tree, hundreds of ters tall, with its roots deeply embedded in the lakebed.
Surrounding the roots was a circle of Green Crystal Stones, and besides that, there was also a treasure chest.
"That should be the willow tree’s guardian artifact."
Qin Tian’s lips curved into a smile; while the geniuses outside were locked in battle with the willow tree, he was stealthily stealing treasure. The thrill was simply irresistible.
Buzz~~
At that mont, the Soul-Devouring Demon Vine on his wrist suddenly beca excited, rising at the top to point at the circle of Green Crystal Stones.
"Jie La, do you want those Green Crystal Stones?"
Qin Tian was taken aback. The willow tree’s root was intertwined with the Green Crystal Stones. If he were to take them, it would surely alert the willow tree. Not that he feared the tree, but it would indeed be troubleso.
Moreover, he had already noticed the presence of caras on the lakebed; if he wanted to take the Green Crystal Stones, his Invisibility Ability would inevitably be exposed.
Swish swish~~
The vine’s tip swayed up and down, mimicking a human’s nodding motion.
"Alright, since you want them, I’ll get them for you."
Qin Tian stared at the circle of Green Crystal Stones beneath the tree roots. In reality, combat wasn’t the only way to take the stones; other thods might be worth a try as well.
The Light Distortion dissipated as Qin Tian intentionally released a faint aura, quickly diving downwards.
In an instant, the willow tree sensed his presence, and the underwater section fell into a frenzy. Dozens of thick roots, like squid tentacles, surged towards him.
anwhile, the cara on the lakebed clearly captured his figure.
The director was quick on their feet, imdiately splitting the live broadcast screen. The left showed the scene of geniuses battling the willow tree on the shore, while the right depicted the sudden turn of events underwater.
The split screen’s appearance instantly stirred up the live broadcast room.
"Holy shit, there’s a thief!!!"
"Shaless thief, when did he sneak in."
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, catch the thief now!"
"This guy is incredible, sneaking into the lake right under the eyes of three geniuses."
"But I bet he didn’t expect the underwater willow tree isn’t easy to ss with; he’s in deep trouble now!"
Dozens of roots rushed towards Qin Tian. Under the water, their swinging speed wasn’t fast, yet they blocked all escape routes.
Just as the audience prepared to fire mocking comnts, the next scene left them dumbfounded.
Black Crow Examiner slowly raised his right hand.
The next mont, all roots instantly halted before him, as if the world had stopped.
Whoosh
A root slowly approached, gently touching Black Crow Examiner’s right hand, and then wiggled happily like a pet being petted by its owner.
"WTF??? What did I just see?"
"No, bro, what kind of ability is this? Is soone from the Dongfang Clan guest starring?"
"A rig! This is definitely a rig!!!"
The comnts exploded; all the viewers were surprised and extrely furious.
On the shore, the three geniuses were locked in a life-and-death struggle with the willow tree, while underwater, the examiner and the willow tree were all lovey-dovey.
Supporters of the geniuses couldn’t accept it and began bombarding the comnts, complaining to the officials.
"Indeed, the power of the Sovereign of the Verdant Wilds is useful."
Under the mask, Qin Tian slightly lifted the corners of his mouth. He wasn’t worried about exposing his Plant Affinity ability. If anyone questioned him in the future, he’d claim it was a new ability acquired after receiving the Tree God’s blessing.
As long as there was traceable evidence, an ability should be used when necessary.
Qin Tian grabbed the tree roots, being pulled swiftly to the lakebed. At this mont, Jie La suddenly grew, the vine developing suction cup-like patterns, coiling around half of the willow roots, absorbing over seventy percent of the Green Crystal Stones, voraciously absorbing the energy within.
Buzz~~
The roots waved, the willow expressing its dissatisfaction.
Qin Tian hurriedly held onto the willow tree’s roots, then the power of the Sovereign of the Verdant Wilds flowed into it like a stream.
Boom!!!
A dark current whirlpool erged underwater, and the willow tree, like it was on a stimulant, burst out with astounding energy on the shore.
......
Swish~~
A few willow branches lashed from the side. Mo Qingyu had already grasped the attack patterns of the willow branches. Compared to the versatile changes of a Spiritualist’s Martial Techniques, this Spirit Plant fought purely on instinct. After a while, its attacks were hardly threatening.
However, the willow’s Defense Power and Life Force were unbelievably strong. The trio had given their all, employing every ans available, but still couldn’t topple the willow.
Now, they had to slowly wear down its health, much like battling a boss-level wild monster in a ga.
Mo Qingyu raised his hand to swing his sword at the willow branches, and at the sa ti, tapped the ground with his feet, like a bird trying to weave through the branches.
Yet, the branches that should have been easily severed were, at this mont, harder than high-grade alloy. The blade only left a white mark on them.
This change caught Mo Qingyu off guard, and his Body Technique hesitated slightly, allowing the willow branches to seize the opportunity and lash at his front and back like whips.
The violent force shattered the protective Spiritual Energy.
Mo Qingyu spun in the air like a top struck by a whip, circling several tis before crashing heavily in the distance.
What!!
This scene shocked Andrew and Nangong Yue.
To know, in terms of strength, Mo Qingyu was the strongest among the three.
Mo Qingyu was a Four Star genius, whereas both of them were Three Stars.
Yet, the situation changed; the Mo Qingyu, who was becoming increasingly adept, was now overturned by the willow tree in two lashes.
What on earth happened?
Clap clap~~
The branches grew wildly, like hair flying in chaos, whipping towards the three.
Andrew and Nangong Yue dared not be careless, withdrawing their attacks and focusing their attention on defense.
On the other hand, despite being knocked by two lashes, Mo Qingyu, being a Four Star genius, managed to stabilize his surging Qi and Blood, though his chest and back hurt fiercely, the injuries weren’t considered severe.
He maintained utmost vigilance and unleashed the Celestial Profound Sword Intent. This ti, the branches couldn’t withstand the sword’s power and broke piece by piece.
However, the branches’ self-healing ability was equally terrifying, regrowing rapidly to rain down on the trio again.
At this, the comnts practically exploded like an explosion.
"What’s happening, why does this willow tree seem like it’s on drugs."
"Damn! That Black Crow is definitely from the Dongfang Clan, with the Qingmu Bloodline ability identical."
"Rig! Rig! I protest, I must report!!!"
"Stop fighting guys, hurry to the lake bottom and check it out!"
Mo Qingyu and the other two were unaware of the underwater anomaly. They simply felt that this willow tree was way too unusual, why did it suddenly beco so fierce.
Then, Andrew suddenly spoke:
"I feel like it’s on its last legs. This is a resistance before death. Hang in there a bit longer, victory is near."
"Okay!"
Mo Qingyu and Nangong Yue responded in unison.
Seeing this, the comnts exploded even more.
"Not on its last legs, it’s on drugs."
"Three big fools, their ho is being robbed!"
"Haha, I’m dying laughing, today’s ghost video has a material."
The battle on the shore continued
Under the water, Jie La absorbed all the energy from the Green Crystal Stones, coiling back into a bracelet, Purple Leaf shaking to convey a burst of elation to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian smiled, then slowly swam towards the treasure chest and opened it.
