Chapter 1279: The Peculiarity In The Pure Spirit Tower (4)

The silver line continued to extend, and Xiu’s brows got more furrowed as time pa.s.sed.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yanxiao, who was focused on peeping at Xiu’s ‘beauty ‘, immediately noticed Xiu’s abnormality.

Xiu did not answer immediately. Instead, he retracted his hand and placed Shen Yanxiao on the ground before looking down at his fingertips.

His originally white fingertips had turned slightly red, as if he had been scalded by hot water.

“I did not sense the roots of this tree.” Xiu retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Yanxiao.

“I used my energy to sense this tree, and after my energy went deep underground, I discovered that it did not take root underground. I continued to explore but I was attacked by a barrier somewhere.”

“You were attacked?” Shen Yanxiao was stunned for a moment. She had experienced how terrifying Xiu’s strength was, and she honestly did not know what barrier Xiu could not pa.s.s through.

However, judging by Xiu’s expression, it was evident that he did not succeed in pa.s.sing through the barrier.

Xiu nodded and said, “It’s just that the power released isn’t that powerful and it’s impossible to pa.s.s through that barrier. The power of that barrier is much more powerful than what you saw outside any elf city.”

Shen Yanxiao had visited almost all the cities in the Moon G.o.d Continent. The only city she hadn’t visited was Moons.h.i.+ne City.

If there was any barrier in the Moon G.o.d Continent that was more powerful than a black-level city…

Then it could only be the Moons.h.i.+ne City!

“You’re saying that the trees in the Pure Spirit Towers are directly connected to Moons.h.i.+ne City?” A trace of surprise flashed past Shen Yanxiao’s eyes. If that was the case, then those trees might not be as simple as Qie Er described.

It was very likely that they were part of the Tree of Life!

“No wonder the energy produced by them is so powerful. No wonder the life force in the Pure Spirit Tower is so dense!” Shen Yanxiao bit her lips and turned to look at the dark-colored leaves.

“If what made me feel pain was really pollution, then… the pollution is coming from the Tree of Life?” Shen Yanxiao was shocked by her conjecture!

What a joke!

The Tree of Life that the elves relied on for survival was the culprit that was about to lead to their demise?

Shen Yanxiao was speechless!

“I don’t think I’ve been infected.” Shen Yanxiao’s lips twitched. She had absorbed a lot of life force in the Moon G.o.d Continent, and that thing called pollution might have entered her source of life together with it. She did not want to be tricked by the Tree of Life before she achieved her goal of undoing her seal.

Xiu shook his head and said, “Pollution is targeted at elves and has no effect on you. Otherwise, you would not have such a huge reaction. A large part of the reason for your pain is also due to your rejection of pollution.”

To put it simply, Shen Yanxiao did not absorb any pollution at all!

“I’m immune?” Shen Yanxiao raised her brow.

Xiu narrowed his golden eyes and looked at Shen Yanxiao. “What is the greatest effect pollution has on the elves?”

Shen Yanxiao said straightforwardly, “To cause them to have negative emotions and be less pure and kind.”

Xiu continued. “You already have this kind of att.i.tude, so you can’t be infected to begin with. So, how can it affect you?”

“…” Shen Yanxiao was speechless. Was she being indirectly described by Xiu as despicable, shameless and low-cla.s.s…?
