Xie Anan brought everybody to the mysterious tree.
It looked like both an ancient tree that had grown for millions of years and an animal that was deeply rooted underground. Translucent burrs were everywhere on the rough trunk, beating like hearts.
The branches that were flapping in the wind looked somewhat like thousands of tentacles, too. Sensing the vague spiritual energy spreading out of Long Yunxin and the rest of them, they were even sweeping toward the newcomers.
The tree leaves were opened layer after layer, as if a ferocious animal had bared its sharp tusks.
Thankfully, three circles of defense rune arrays had been deployed around the weird tree. When the clattering twigs were still almost twenty meters from everybody, they were suddenly struck by a few electric arcs that appeared out of nowhere and retreated unwillingly.
"It looks rather dangerous. Is it a carnivorous plant?" Long Yunxin clicked her tongue.
