Hearing this, Ye Qing was slightly startled and turned his head to take a closer look.
Behind him and directly above the palace, there was indeed a stone wall with a lifelike tiger head carved on it.
Immediately, Ye Qing did not hesitate at all and directly summoned the Immortal Sword Jingyun, and a sword light blasted out.
The sword light hit the stone wall, directly blasting the hard rock into powder, which turned into smoke and floated everywhere.
After blasting the stone wall to pieces, a white ball of light slowly floated out and fell into Ye Qing's hands.
Ye Qing looked carefully and saw that what fell into his hand was actually an exquisite jade slip.
Ye Qing looked suspicious and asked puzzledly, "What is this?"
The ruthless empress explained, "When I was setting up the formation to heal my injuries, four guardians appeared and besieged me."
"Although I was no match for them and was sealed by them together, before I was sealed, I recorded their weaknesses and information in this jade slip and hid it behind this stone wall, just waiting for someone who can save me to appear and give him the information."
"Although your strength is not as good as expected, your courage is something I have never seen before."
"I believe that giving you this information will be of great help to you."
Ye Qing nodded heavily and grinned, "I am very flattered that you are willing to entrust such an important life-saving straw to us and trust us so much."
"Since you have placed so much trust in us, we will never let you down!"
……
Immediately, Ye Qing and Bai Xian'er took the jade slip and left the temple.
The mountain god could no longer hold back and said with a bitter face, "Brother, you must not believe the lies of that woman."
"She asked you to fight the four guardians to rescue her. It was clearly asking you to die!"
"With your two strengths, even with this information, you can never be a match for the four guardians!"
Ye Qing smiled faintly and said, "Why, are you scared?"
The mountain god was silent for a moment, then said bitterly, "I am indeed afraid."
"To be honest, big brother, if I offend you, at most you will just eat me up and throw me away."
"But if I offend the four guardians, my fate will definitely be a million times worse than this."
"I am a creature from the ancient forbidden land. These guardians, especially the guardian of Dongting, the Three Disasters Ancient Tree, can directly erase my existence."
"We don't have a very deep relationship. I really don't think it's worth it for me to risk my life for you, right?"
Ye Qing smiled slightly and said slowly, "Brother Shanshen, why don't you think about it the other way around?"
"If you follow me and kill these four guardians, won't you become the greatest legend in this ancient forbidden land?"
"If I kill the Saint King in the end, then from now on, you will be the supreme ruler of the Ancient Forbidden Land, and you can become a true mountain god."
"It's much better than living in fear and treading on thin ice every day, bullying ordinary people who strayed into the ancient forbidden land, and worrying about being wiped out by the guardian every day, right?"
Hearing Ye Qing's words, the mountain god couldn't help but be stunned.
The mountain god was silent for a while, with a flame of excitement burning in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
"In that case, big brother, I'll do it with you!"
"Or I will follow you, kill the Holy King and the four guardians, and become the overlord of the ancient forbidden land."
"Or, at worst, I'll die with you, and it won't be a waste of my life!" "That's right."
Ye Qing nodded and smiled faintly, "In that case, our first stop is to head to Dongting, kill the Three Disasters Ancient Tree, and get rid of this huge mountain pressing on your head!"
……
Immediately, Ye Qing, Bai Xian'er and the mountain god returned along the same route and returned to the rain forest in Dongting.
The mountain god said excitedly, "Brother, to deal with the Three Disasters Ancient Tree, you don't need that woman's information. I am your best guide!"
"The Three Disasters Ancient Tree is hidden in the underground of the East Courtyard. Each of its roots is a Great Wall. Thousands of roots are intertwined and form a maze."
"If you want to kill the Three Disasters Ancient Tree, you must find its heart and destroy it directly to completely kill the Three Disasters Ancient Tree."
"I see."
Ye Qing nodded slightly and smiled faintly, "Then where is the entrance to this maze?"
The mountain god said, "Brother, what I just said may not be quite accurate."
"In fact, the entire underground of the East Courtyard is a maze made up of the roots of the Three Disasters Ancient Tree. No matter where you enter from, it can be the entrance to the maze."
"However, whether you can find the heart of the Three Disasters Ancient Tree depends on whether you can find the end of the maze."
"I see. That's interesting."
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, grinned and nodded, "In that case, let's not waste time here, let's go downstairs and find out what's going on!"
After saying that, Ye Qing took out the fairy sword Jingyun and waved his hand to summon a white light that enveloped him and Bai Xianer.
As a white light flashed in front of them, the two of them disappeared from the spot and entered the underground world.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ye Qing was stunned instantly.
At this moment, they seemed to be inside a giant tree.
There were tangled vines and branches in front of him, giving off a heavy smell of death.
The mountain god couldn't help but shudder and murmured, "These vines and branches are just a small part of the body of the Three Disasters Ancient Tree."
“But just this small part is probably something that no living being in Dongting has ever seen.”
Ye Qing smiled faintly and said, "So, thanks to me, you are the first one to open your eyes and see the world."
"Without further delay, let's set out now to pull out the heart of the Three Disasters Ancient Tree!"
This underground world is filled with evil spirits. Even if Ye Qing uses the Immortal's Eyes, he cannot find the right path.
Immediately, he had no choice but to go around in the maze with Bai Xian'er like headless flies, looking for the end of the maze.
When encountering some vines that were impossible to circumvent blocking the road, Ye Qing would simply swing his sword to cut the vines, opening up new paths.
However, after walking for about an incense stick of time and splitting a vine, the scene before them made Ye Qing and Bai Xian'er feel their scalps tingling.
Behind this vine is an area that looks like a tree hole.
At this moment, countless beetles are crawling on brightly colored fruits, piercing the skin of the fruits with their sharp mouthparts and greedily sucking the juice inside.
These beetles are the size of calves, with extremely strong limbs and a hard shell covering their bodies.
Just as Ye Qing and Bai Xian'er were stunned, the beetles noticed the intruders coming and instantly showed their sharp fangs and mouthparts, flapped their wings and flew towards them, launching a fierce attack. (End of this chapter)
