Chapter 1278: The Peculiarity In The Pure Spirit Tower (3)
If everything was as Xiu guessed…
Then…
Didn’t that mean that all the elves in the Moon God Continent had been infected with pollution?
This disaster was enough to destroy the elves!
“I’m still not sure why the life force here is so much stronger than outside. It’s still unknown. If this is only a branch of the Tree of Life, then it would be easy to explain. However, if this is a part of the Tree of Life, then I’m afraid everything the elves have to face will not be as simple.” Xiu frowned. He did not care about the life and death of the elves. What he cared about was that Shen Yanxiao was currently in the Moon God Continent. If the pollution was released from the Tree of Life, then it would be too dangerous for Shen Yanxiao to continue staying here.
After all, due to the seal, her source of life could absorb life force at a rapid pace. That was a good thing, but if pollution was mixed in, then it could only be a bad thing.
“We can only investigate this ourselves. Elder Yue would never tell me this. Moreover, Qie Er doesn’t seem to know the origin of these tree trunks.” Shen Yanxiao was smart. Even if Elder Yue thought highly of her, all the information about the Tree of Life was top secret among the elves. It was impossible for it to be leaked easily.
“Well, it’s not difficult.” Xiu raised his eyebrows.
Shen Yanxiao blinked her eyes and looked at Xiu. As Xiu was lifting her up with one hand, her current posture was her sitting on one of Xiu’s arms while her small hands were wrapped around his neck.
Due to their discussion about the pollution, Shen Yanxiao did not realize how ambiguous their actions were. However, Xiu’s expression had allowed her to regain her senses.
Her face was right beside that handsome face. If she just moved half a finger’s distance, their faces should be stuck together.
Shen Yanxiao could clearly see Xiu’s skin. It was clean and white without a single pore!
She could also see Xiu’s long eyelashes, thick and curly, similar to a small fan.
His sharp nose and thin lips…
Thump… thump…
Shen Yanxiao heard her heartbeat.
Xiu did not realize that a certain little girl was currently peeping at his ‘beauty’. He raised his empty hand and gently placed his slender fingers on the tree branch. Strands of silver silk flowed out from his fingertips and wound around the tree branch…
“What are you doing?” Shen Yanxiao forcefully suppressed her restless heart and tried her best to be ‘serious’.
“I can extend my power to this tree and locate its main body. If this tree exists independently, then I can sense its roots. If not…” Xiu did not finish his sentence. He continuously released his power to extend the length of his perception. The silver light coiled around the tree and gradually entered the ground.
The elves on the next few floors were still cultivating. But, none of them noticed that the silver threads that were as thin as hair were snaking all over the thick tree trunk, from top to bottom, deep underground.
Shen Yanxiao quietly looked at Xiu’s side profile. Xiu rarely had any expression on his face. The number of times he looked up and frowned was extremely few. His face would always have that cold and detached expression that repelled people thousands of miles away.
However, for some reason, Shen Yanxiao saw a trace of seriousness in his eyes, and that hidden glint in his eyes made Xiu look attractive.
