"Huh - we finally succeeded, thank you for your hard work..." Guan Heng was breathing heavily at this time, and was about to praise the ghost-swallowing tiger. Suddenly, a large stream of red burst out of the broken catalpa tree.

Pulp, just like blood.

"This is..." As soon as Guan Heng saw this scene with a surprised expression, he saw a purple light suddenly emerge from the tree, and it was about to float away in an instant. The ghost-swallowing tiger roared suddenly and opened its mouth.

With an evil-destroying eye on his body, he instantly turned the soul of this thousand-year-old tree into a stone of soul.

"Pah!" Guan Heng took the soul stone in his hand, and then said with a smile: "It seems that creatures that have existed for thousands of years, whether animals or plants, have the opportunity to condense their souls. This is really a strange thing."

He broke off some fragments of the soul stone and put them into the soul record book. Guan Heng then opened the book to check the origin of the ancient tree spirit.

Baizhangzi is one of the rare trees that can grow for thousands of years. Its bark and leaves can protect the body from the harm caused by evil spirits. When the tree is a hundred years old, it can grow to a hundred feet. After five hundred years, it gradually shrinks to a few feet in length, and the tree body gradually becomes stronger.

, ten times better than metal.

The reason is that there is a "tree core" that is more than three feet long on the inside of the Baizhangzi tree. This Baizhangzi tree core is one of the secret treasures of wood in the ancient world that can completely restrain evil spirits. However, it is not easy to obtain. After cutting down the tree, you need to

Bake moso bamboo over fire for a long time until the core of the catalpa tree can be separated from the outer skin...

"A hundred-foot catalpa tree core?! This is a good thing!"

Guan Heng looked at the broken tree body at this time, and he thought to himself: "And it is also a wooden secret treasure that is specially used to restrain evil spirits. I think it will be of great use to me. I must get it. Besides, what is said in the soul record book

It is clear that the bark and leaves can be used to eliminate the harm of evil things invading the body, but the tree body... the people of the Mud-faced Mystery tribe will definitely not use it."

Thinking of this, Guan Heng waved to Zhang Qi: "Collect all the scattered bark and leaves, then carry them on the tree and return to the village."

…

A short while later, Guan Heng took Zhang Qi and the Ghost Swallowing Tiger back to the Mud-faced Mi Tribe. He then asked the elders and Zhang Qi's uninjured tribesmen to quickly put water in large jars and remove the bark of Baizhang Zi.

, put the leaves into it and cooked it into boiling soup, and then let those who were hit by the dark green evil spirit drink a bowl. It didn't take long for Rong Zheng and everyone from the Mi tribe to wake up and turn around.

"Little brother, thanks to your help this time, my people are out of danger." The elder of the Mi tribe said to Guan Heng at this time: "I am really grateful."

"Elder, please don't say that. Who made me happen to be in this situation? If you don't help, it seems unjustifiable." After saying this, Guan Heng suddenly spoke again: "But I still have one more thing to think about.

Please help me elders."

After hearing this, the elder quickly said: "Little brother, if you have anything to do, please just ask me. Our whole clan will definitely do our best to satisfy you."

"Oh, that's it. I need everyone to help me get some moso bamboo and set up a bonfire..." Just like that, Guan Heng asked the elders to prepare all the things needed to burn the 100-foot catalpa tree. By this time, it was already midnight.

.

After Guan Heng gave an order, several strong men from the mud-faced tribe picked up the tree body and threw it into the bonfire set up by moso bamboo. The flames were seen rising, and the catalpa tree, which was 100 feet tall, was continuously burned in the fire until it "cracked and creaked".

After a long time, everyone present heard a sudden loud bang from the fire, and the tree suddenly exploded into countless pieces.

At this time, Guan Hengdou, who had piercing eyes, suddenly saw something several feet long jumping in the flames. Guan Heng immediately walked over with big steps. He didn't care that the flames were scalding his hands, and grabbed the object with a snap.

the end of it, and pulled it out from the fire.

"Chi—chi chi!" Sparks flew out in all directions, and many of them landed on Guan Heng's face and hands, but he remained unmoved at all. He just carefully looked at the three-foot-long and duck-egg-thick stick in his hand.

"Ancient Catalpa Tree Core", this tree core looks inconspicuous, with dark purple twisted vertical lines all over its body, but it is extremely heavy to buy, weighing at least dozens of kilograms!

In addition, the core of the ancient catalpa tree also exudes a vague and refreshing fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed after smelling it. When Guan Heng was holding the heavy ancient catalpa tree core and was meditating, the elder of the Mi tribe

Then he came over.

"Little brother, your sworn brother Agou and Patriarch Rong Zheng are much better after drinking the boiling soup made from the bark and leaves of the ancient Zi tree." The elder said: "They have already fallen asleep in the guest room, are you also...

"

"No, elder, I'm afraid I have to go to the woods in the mountains."

At this moment, Guan Heng had already asked the Ghost Swallowing Tiger to bring the snow-like bow and arrow kettle that he had left in the room. He then said to the elder: "The thing that attacked everyone in your room today is a kind of fire called 'Demon Skull Fire'."

'The evil creature only appears around the ancient battlefield and often eats people and causes mischief. In order to ensure that there are no similar beasts like this Skull Fire nearby, I must go into the mountain to search."

Guan Heng paused for a moment after speaking here, and then continued to ask: "Elder, are there any places similar to the ruins of ancient battlefields in the mountains and forests near your village?"

"The remains of the ancient battlefield?"

After listening to Guan Heng's question, the elder said without hesitation: "Yes, just a few miles north of where you cut down Baizhangzi, there are the remains of an ancient battlefield, but our people don't go there often.

, because monsters often appear during the day, and it is even more dangerous at night."

After listening to the elder's words, Guan Heng's eyes suddenly lit up. His original plan, besides searching for any of the same kind of Demon Skull Fire nearby, was to go and have a look at the forest where Baizhangzi grew because the dark crystal coffin was there.

There was a light flashing nearby that reflected the appearance of Qinghuang's remnant soul.

"Maybe when we get to the ruins of the ancient battlefield, we might be able to find out the whereabouts of the remnant soul." At this moment, a smile flashed across Guan Heng's face, and he thought to himself: "This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, so let's do it.

."

Then, Guan Heng asked carefully about the location of the ancient battlefield, then quickly rode out on the ghost-swallowing tiger.

Because the path they had visited before was very familiar, and the Ghost-Eating Tiger was very fast, it didn't take long for them to arrive at the forest where the hundred-foot catalpa tree grew.

At this time, Guan Heng sent the Big Ginger and the four Gnomes out to patrol and investigate the situation. As for the Giant Bee Gnomes, he stayed with him just in case.

After a while, the big demon suddenly brought the wolves back in a panic. They gestured at Guan Henglian and described it. Guan Heng's eyes suddenly narrowed: "What do you mean?

, not far ahead, there are a large group of ghosts wandering towards the north?"

Seeing the big demon nodding slowly at this moment, Guan Heng thought to himself at this moment: "The north? It happens to be the location of the ruins of the ancient battlefield. It seems that all the doubts are pointing there."
