After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Chapter 524 Fighting Dryads

Surrounded by ordinary people, they naturally didn't notice Pei Yun and the others' unusual behavior. Under Luo Rufeng's cover, Pei Yun took out the token and successfully sent the message...

Pei Yun's divine sense detected that the first group of mortals had already entered the Soul Refining Tower. She frowned and whispered, "Are you really not going to stop them?"

"If we stop them now, we'll attract people from the Xianxia Sect. We two can escape then, but these 50,000 people will definitely not be able to escape..."

Luo Rufeng's face was serious. He held Pei Yun's hand tightly and looked at the crowd moving forward. "What we need to do now is to delay time and wait for Venerable Qin Gu to come to the rescue. After entering the Soul Refining Tower, we must do our best to protect these mortals..."

The two looked at each other silently and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

The closer they got to the Soul Refining Tower, the more they felt the power of the tree demon in the tower.

Although the old couple were at the initial stage of Refining Void, firstly, their cultivation level declined after experiencing the time and space storm, and their injuries had not healed; secondly, Pei Yun's "Time Standstill" move was unexpected, and the two cooperated well, so he was able to kill them.

But the oppressive feeling this tree demon brought to them was even stronger than that brought to the old couple. If they really faced each other, without entering the space, they could not guarantee that they could save their own lives, let alone protect so many mortals.

After an unknown amount of time, 50,000 people finally entered the Soul Refining Tower. After the guards at the door saw that everyone had entered, they pushed the two heavy doors and slammed them shut with a bang!

The mortals present were frightened by the sound of the door closing, and as the door closed completely, the last ray of light was snatched away, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness...

"Where is this place? Why is it so dark?"

"Have we entered the Xianxia Sect?"

"Sister, I'm afraid..."

……

The naked eyes of mortals cannot see the surrounding environment, and it is pitch dark for them, but Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng know that they are under a giant tree at this time.

The tree demon's roots were tangled and thick, deeply buried in the soil beneath their feet, while the leaves above them were also unusually large, blocking out the sun like clouds above everyone's heads...

Pei Yun was just about to speak out to warn these people and tell them the truth, but at this moment, the trunk of the giant tree seemed to open its eyelids and shot out red rays of light, which finally fell on the 50,000 people below.

"It's an eye! It's the eye of the dryad..."

Such a strange scene made all the mortals present feel that something was wrong.

Hundreds of densely packed, red eyes stared straight at them. The threatening feeling, like locking onto prey, made them feel the approach of death...

"What's going on? Where are we?"

"What is this monster? Isn't this the Xianxia Sect?"

"I want to go back! I don't want to be a slave anymore. I want to go back to Exile Island!"

These mortals screamed in fear, and some ran towards the closed door in fear. As one person did so, the others followed suit and fled towards the door...

The next moment, thick branches suddenly swung out from nowhere and whipped towards the group of people...

"Be careful!" Pei Yun warned, and he and Luo Rufeng chopped at the branches with swords in their hands.

The branches were cut into several sections by the sword energy, but hundreds of mortals were still hit by the branches or pierced through their bodies and died on the spot.

After they died, their soul power was drained away, and wisps of gray, mist-like souls floated out and were sucked into the roots of the tree demon...

"Ahhhh!" The fear of everyone present reached its peak at this moment. They fled in panic. The scene was in complete chaos and soon people were trampled to death.

"Let us out!"

"Please, open the door!"

Someone broke down crying and banged on the door desperately, but what followed was countless branches lashing out at the group like whips...

"Everyone, come behind me quickly, I am a cultivator!" Pei Yun shouted loudly.

As she spoke, Pei Yun expanded her domain, and translucent space barriers appeared in all directions centered on her, with profound and complex space lines faintly visible within the barriers.

Pei Yun pinched the magic formula in his hand and shouted to everyone, "Come in quickly!"

For those who are in despair, Pei Yun is undoubtedly their last ray of hope.

The first to react were Meng Xia and her brother. Meng Xia's eyes were filled with tears, and her originally dim eyes instantly brightened. She used all her strength to hold her brother and rushed towards the barrier recklessly. Seeing this, the others also ran into Pei Yun's territory...

Luo Rufeng did not expand his domain. His domain was filled with sword energy, which mortals could not withstand. Moreover, this place was so small that if he expanded his domain, he would inevitably squeeze Pei Yun's domain.

Before Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun came in, they had agreed that he would be responsible for dealing with the tree demon's attacks, and Pei Yun would be responsible for protecting this group of people.

At this time, Luo Rufeng used the sword formation, and strands of sword light wandered around the giant tree, cutting off the attacking branches and helping those mortals buy time to hide in Pei Yun's territory.

It has only been an incense stick of time since we entered, and half of the 50,000 people have died. Looking around, there are corpses everywhere. The most unfair among them are those who were trampled to death.

When these people died, their souls were sucked into the tree demon, and a faint luster flashed across the surface of the tree roots...

However, the tree demon was still extremely angry because half of the people could not have a good meal because of Pei Yun's protection and Luo Rufeng's obstruction.

"Two damn bastards!"

Angry curses came from all directions of the Soul Refining Tower and reached the ears of everyone present. How could a mortal withstand such pressure? Even though Pei Yun reacted very quickly and set up a soundproof shield outside the area, many mortals were still affected and bled from all seven orifices, falling to the ground, their life or death unknown.

This was just the beginning. Soon, the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently. The tree roots buried in the soil began to stir, and countless roots broke through the soil and attacked everyone...

The tree demon's attacks became more and more fierce. Pei Yun gritted his teeth and mobilized all his spiritual power to maintain his domain. His forehead was covered with sweat. "No, this tree demon is very powerful. I'm afraid my domain can only last for a day..."

Luo Rufeng stood in front of Pei Yun. He looked up at the giant tree and raised his sword. The sword spirit in his mind burst into a dazzling light, and the law runes attached to the sword spirit also lit up. At this moment, the sword in his hand also revealed the law of life and the law of death. The two merged together and he swung it at the tree demon...

"Ah!" The tree demon screamed in pain, all its branches flailing desperately. Luo Rufeng's sword had injured its main branch, leaving a deep scar. Sticky black blood still flowed from the wound...

"Damn it! Damn it! I'm going to kill you all! Kill them all!"
