Chapter 223 The one I love is gone, no one sees my beauty anymore

But later, because his beloved died, this once great mountain god's hair turned white overnight, and from then on, he only appeared in the eyes of an octogenarian.

He once said: "The one I love is gone, and no one will ever see my beauty again. I just want to keep this memory, just like the scene back then."

The old tree demon has already experienced the departure of his beloved ones in his life, and his soul cannot rest in peace even after death. It is so painful.

For him, perhaps death is a true relief?

"Old tree demon, I will never say anything bad about you again, and I will never despise you again?"

Green ivy couldn't help but hug the thick branches of the old tree demon. Tears welled up in her eyes and she was choked with sobs as she spoke.

"Okay, okay, I should go find her. It's been so long, I don't know if she still remembers me."

The old tree demon shook its branches and let out a long, faint sigh. It was not the reluctance that one might imagine, but rather a feeling of relief.

Su Chen's heart was touched, and he vaguely realized something.

Before he could react, the old tree demon turned into stars. The originally gloomy sky was instantly illuminated and spread to the mountains and forests everywhere with vitality. The sky was full of brilliance, and other scenery was almost invisible. Although the light was bright, it was not dazzling.

Su Chen stretched out his hand and gently touched the light spot. He felt a warmth with the vitality unique to trees, which was extremely soft.

As the tree disappeared, Su Chen and Luoluo did not react.

The solid ground suddenly rumbled loudly, and began to collapse with them as the center. They fell down before they could even react.

They were falling faster and faster, with nothing around to hold onto. The area below was bottomless and the only sound was the whistling of the wind in their ears.

"Owner!"

Luoluo could not help but shout, and immediately released light green spiritual power. Countless branches grew out from the palms of his hands, forming a huge net, which barely caught the two of them until it landed on the ground.

Until the two of them reached the bottom safely, a young man with silver hair suddenly appeared at the place where the old tree was originally.

The man had a delicate face and his light green pupils revealed vitality, but his entire body was covered with dense runes, even on his face and neck, covering his original appearance.

He smiled gently, opened his mouth, and said, "Dragon Emperor, please don't let me down."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire spirit body with him as the center disintegrated, and finally turned into starlight, completely dissipating into nothingness.

On the other side, the two landed smoothly. Although there was a plant net as a cushion, Green Rose still felt that her butt was about to break in half. She staggered to her feet, rubbed her big butt, and muttered: "Why are we so caught off guard? The old tree demon is not..."

Before she could finish her words, the expression on her face froze, and she suddenly realized that the old tree demon was no longer there, and even if she complained, no one would listen.

She was a little depressed, and even her little head drooped down.

Su Chen also felt uncomfortable. Although he had no impression of the old tree demon, he still respected the old tree demon for his selfless spirit.

After all, in that stalemate situation, if he were an old tree demon, he might not choose to sacrifice himself to give others a chance to escape.

At this moment, in a place they could not see, the original vitality of the entire illusion was gradually collapsing.

Many plants have gradually lost their vitality, but the speed is very slow. However, it is visible to the naked eye that the originally boundless jungle has gradually turned into a deathly gray.

"It's fine."

Su Chen didn't know what to say to comfort her. After a long time, he could only utter three dry words. Luluo also knew that now was not the time to be dejected. The old demon tree had exhausted its life to create a glimmer of hope for them.

If they fail to recover, wouldn't it be a waste of the old tree demon's sacrifice?

Thinking of this, Luluo quickly encouraged herself.

"No, no, we all need to cheer up now and leave this damn place as soon as possible!"

Green Rose couldn't help but say, her hands unconsciously clenched into pink fists, "I don't know who is so insidious that he turned the scholar into a gatekeeper spirit."

At the end of her speech, Luoluo couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes, but she quickly controlled herself.

Su Chen hugged Luoluo without saying anything. At this moment, a warm hug was far more useful than thousands of words.

The two then looked around. There was darkness in front of them, a long black corridor with signs of artificial mining. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time. There was thick dust and spider webs all around.

"There is something unsettled in this secret passage."

Luoluo couldn't help but say that his intuition was very sharp. The air was very humid and had a chilly breath, which made people feel physically uncomfortable.

Su Chen naturally noticed it, but at the moment this was the only way they could take. Even if it meant mountains of swords and seas of fire, they had to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Su Chen took the lead and walked in front.

Not long after we walked, the view gradually widened and what came into view was a black river, but the black was not pure.

Fishes could be vaguely seen swimming in it, their scales sparkling and glittering, looking particularly bright and beautiful even in the dark water.

Su Chen only took a glance and recognized that it was a golden-scaled carp.

This kind of golden-scaled carp is extremely precious and hard to find outside. Not only does it contain rich spiritual power, it can almost be said that its entire body is full of treasures.

If even one appeared outside, it would cause all the major sects to scramble for it. In this little-known stream, there were actually hundreds of them!
Even Luoluo, who had seen so many grand scenes, couldn't help but be shocked by the lavishness of this gesture.

"Such a precious fish, just put it in this river?"

Luoluo couldn't help but mutter to herself, with disbelief flashing in her eyes.

Who on earth could be so generous? As far as he knew, no sect in this small world could be so generous.

Thinking of this, there was a hint of deep thought in Luoluo's eyes.

"I'll go down and take a look. To prevent any danger, you can use the vines to hold me. If you see something is wrong, pull me up immediately."

Su Chen said to Luoluo seriously.

To see such a precious creature in such an ordinary place must be something unusual.

However, there must be a brave man under a huge reward. If these training resources can be brought back, it will definitely be a huge boost for the Su family.

After thinking it over, Su Chen decided to give it a try.

The green ivy immediately released its vines and tightly wrapped around Su Chen's waist, making sure it was strong enough before slowly climbing down.
