Chapter 2346

~6 min read 1,162 words

The great blade split open lizard head after lizard head, shoving aside lizard body after lizard body.

Nothing, nothing...

Nothing at all...

Only a body stinking of blood.

"My lord, should we take the lizard's venom fangs? At least it'd be some gain."

Qi Yue was also smeared with plenty of blood.

"Is there still room in the spatial storage?"

"No, the dragon fangs and dragon claws have filled it up." Qi Yue shook her head.

"Same on my end. Should we toss a dragon claw?" Tang Ruan asked.

"Forget it, leave it. Let's go butcher the Titan's sinews."

"Yes!!"

The three abandoned the giant lizard and rushed toward the Titan's corpse.

Broken vines half a meter thick were everywhere. The three ran and leapt, vaulting over the obstacles, and quickly reached the Titan's side.

The Titan's arms were also extremely thick.

The forearm alone was 3 meters across, and the upper arm was a full 4–5 meters.

But now it had been smashed into a bloody pulp from the hurling; the flesh had already separated from the bone.

Through the wound, near the bone-white area inside, a blue sinew about 10 centimeters thick could be seen.

This was the Lightning Sinew.

With some modification later, it could be used for high-tier enchanting.

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue immediately scattered and rushed toward the Titan's massive arms after hearing that.

The Lightning Sinew was soft.

It could be stuffed into the gaps between the dragon fangs and dragon claws.

No matter what, this trip hadn't been wasted labor.

Whoosh~ whoosh~

Hm!?

Zhao Chi was dissecting the Lightning Sinew when he suddenly heard two piercing whistles in midair.

He instinctively leapt violently to the side.

Crack!

Two thick tree vines swept in from both sides, clamping exactly where Zhao Chi had just been.

What's going on?

Just as Zhao Chi was stunned, two more tree vines clamped in.

"Something's wrong! Fall back!"

Zhao Chi retreated rapidly, pulling back several dozen meters in a blink, but he didn't stop at all, continuing to withdraw at full speed.

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue looked up at the same time.

Their bodies flipped backward in a full rotation, and they all withdrew as well.

"What's wrong, my lord?" Qi Yue caught up to Zhao Chi.

"That giant tree... seems to be attacking me? I'm not sure either, but a few of its vines were definitely coming at me..."

"No way? Aren't we on the same side?" Tang Ruan looked back in surprise at the enormous purple tree.

Zhao Chi was also baffled.

"Right, this giant magical beast also knows about faction allegiance... why would it attack me?"

The three stopped after putting enough distance between them and it.

They stood in the distance, staring at the giant tree.

"Squeak-creak!"

The giant tree seemed to be roaring at Zhao Chi and the others.

Tang Ruan asked: "Qi Yue, what is that tree saying?"

"How would I know..." Qi Yue said helplessly: "But I don't think it means any harm. Maybe it wants to say something to you, my lord?"

Zhao Chi scratched his head: "I actually find it strange too. It only sent down two vines, which really doesn't seem like an attack, but the problem is I can't understand what it's saying either..."

Tang Ruan said: "Qi Yue, think carefully. What might it be saying?"

Qi Yue said, exasperated: "If even my lord doesn't know, how could I possibly know? But if I had to say, it should be something like thanks, right? After all, my lord saved it, so it should know that."

Tang Ruan nodded: "Right, Qi Yue, you're the smart one."

Qi Yue chuckled lightly: "I wouldn't dare call myself smart. This is just a very simple analysis, but it's rare to hear you praise me, so I'll accept it."

"What are you talking about? I praise you all the time. Don't pretend you don't remember."

"Fine, fine~ But what do we do now? Go back and take a look?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "Don't let your guard down. We can get a little closer. That giant tree is absurdly huge, but our speed should still be faster, so it can't catch us."

"Got it!!"

Zhao Chi and the others went back again.

"Squeak-creak!"

The giant tree also took a step forward.

Its vines lifted the three Titan corpses and hurled them over from far away.

The three dodged them with ease, and the corpses smashed into the ground nearby, shattering even further.

Tang Ruan asked, "Is this giant tree showing goodwill? It knows we want the lightning tendons, so it tossed them over? It shouldn't be trying to smash us on purpose, right?"

Qi Yue nodded. "Mm, looks like it wasn't aiming at all, just threw them this way… shouldn't be trying to hit us…"

Zhao Chi checked his bloodline enhancement time — still several dozen minutes left.

Still a long time.

So he said, "You two stay here and take the lightning tendons, I'll go over and take a look."

"Don't, my lord!" Qi Yue immediately urged, "Let us go instead. You can't be revived. If we die, we die — it doesn't matter."

Tang Ruan also nodded. "Right, how could we let you do something this dangerous? This is my job."

Qi Yue said, "Tang Ruan, this isn't a fight this time. You stay and protect my lord. My agility is much higher than yours — I'm the most suited."

"That's not right." Tang Ruan immediately retorted, "I have the Flesh-Blood Robe, I can teleport quickly, and I have Flying Spike and Rush — I can all move fast. Qi Yue, don't steal my job."

Zhao Chi stopped the two of them.

"Both of you, relax. I can faintly sense right now that the giant tree really has no hostility. Just stay here and take the lightning tendons — I'll go."

The two of them still wanted to say more.

Zhao Chi said gently, "Don't worry. Trust me."

Hearing those words, they said nothing more.

They just kept their eyes fixed unblinkingly on Zhao Chi's back.

Doing this did carry a sliver of risk, but Zhao Chi now also had the Fearless Talent — he had definitely been affected by it.

Still, through rational analysis, one really could deduce that the giant tree bore no malice.

At the very least, no hostility.

He could go take a look.

Decision made, he advanced.

Zhao Chi approached the giant tree with his whole body tensed.

If anything happened, he could react quickly.

Soon, he arrived beneath the giant tree, a few dozen meters away from it.

The enormous canopy covered the sky above, and Zhao Chi once again entered the giant tree's range of action.

Same as just now.

Another two thick vines shot down.

Zhao Chi gauged the distance and stepped back a bit.

Boom! Boom!

The two vines smashed into the ground like hammers.

The force of the strike was fierce.
