Xiao Shi specially used a mirror image to verify it. Even if he guessed wrongly, at most, a mirror image would be absorbed by this Sage Tree. This would not have much of an impact. After successfully confirming his guess, everyone immediately controlled their mirror images to charge at the Sage Tree and bombard it with all their might.
However, during the bombardment, they also had a question in their hearts. That was, how long would it take for this Giant Sage Tree to use its absorption ability again? They only knew that the Sage Tree could only use its absorption ability once for a certain period of time, but they did not know how long it would last.
And not only could its suction destroy these mirror images, but most importantly, it could use the devoured mirror images to recover from its injuries. Which meant, if they did not figure out its next devouring time and their mirror images were swallowed again after attacking for a while, the injuries of the Sage Tree might recover completely. This way, their attacks would be meaningless.
Xiao Shi also understood this. Although he had deduced that there was a time limit to the devouring ability of the Sage Tree, he could not deduce the exact time. It could only make these mirror images retreat immediately every minute to avoid it.
Under the joint attack of many mirror images, explosions continuously sounded from the Sage Tree. The entire tree bark had completely shattered by the bombardment of these mirror images, revealing the flesh and blood inside .
Large amounts of blood kept gushing out from these flesh. Originally, this blood was also extremely corrosive and lethal, but now, it was blocked by the ice shell condensed on the surface of the Sage Tree.
After attacking for a minute, all the mirror images retreated at the same time to a safe distance. Then, one of the mirror images went forward to test it. After confirming that the Sage Tree could not use its devouring ability, many mirror images continued to attack.
The continuous attacks of these mirror images caused the injuries of the Sage Tree to continue to worsen. If this continued, they believed that it would not be long before this Sage Tree would be bombarded to death by these mirror images.
Everyone was excited and expectant. They felt that victory was just around the corner. However, Xiao Shi frowned. He felt that the current situation was a little abnormal. Apart from the initial absorption, this Sage Tree did not launch any other attacks and had been passively beaten. This made him feel very strange.
Even if the Sage Tree could not use many methods under the suppression, it should not only have this devouring ability. This made Xiao Shi even more vigilant.
Among the people beside Xiao Shi, some people began to lose their patience. They believed that the Sage Tree had already lost the ability to counterattack under the freezing of the ice domain and wanted to take advantage of this time to kill it as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the next time it used its absorption ability, it would be unable to continue attacking at close range.
“I’m going all out!” The few Martial Demon Realm experts who could not hold back immediately got the Iron Refined Corpses beside them to charge at the Sage Tree. They wanted to use the Iron Refined Corpses to cooperate with the mirror image to kill this Sage Tree as quickly as possible.
“Come back!!” The moment these Iron Refined Corpses moved, Xiao Shi immediately stopped them. However, just as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly descended from the sky. Explosions sounded as the air exploded.
Fortunately, Xiao Shi had always been on guard. The moment this vine slapped down, the Red Refined Corpse that had been standing beside him had already turned into a reddish-gold light that flew up. It collided fiercely with the falling vines.
At this moment, a black shadow tore through the ground and swept out from underground. In an instant, it flew past a Martial Demon Realm cultivator, causing his body to explode on the spot. Broken limbs mixed with internal organs and blood fell.
This sudden scene made the expressions of the few Martial Demon Realm experts beside him change. Now that they did not have the Iron Refined Corpses beside them, they could not resist at all. They quickly got the Iron Refined Corpses that were charging towards the Sage Tree to come back and block it. However, this vine that rushed out from the ground was stronger and faster than before.
In a flash, these experts at the Martial Demon Realm could not dodge in time and were instantly shattered.
“It’s indeed plotting in the dark!” Xiao Shi’s expression was solemn. Clearly, there was a limit to this giant tree’s attack with vines. Under normal circumstances, it could only use one vine at a time. But now, it has directly used two vines! Moreover, these two vines had become even stronger than before.
Clearly, this was the reason why it had not attacked. It was accumulating power, allowing it to use two stronger vines at once. Now, the strengthened vines could already resist the Red Refined Corpse. Even if the Red Refined Corpse slashed at the vines with the Red Corpse Refinement Saber in its hand, it could not cut it off like before. Moreover, the Red Refined Corpse could only block one vine and could not block two vines at the same time.
This caused everyone to face the threat of a powerful vine. Just this vine alone basically had the ability to kill them. In addition, the devouring ability of the Sage Tree had also reached the time where it could be used again.
Although everyone was already prepared for this and made the mirror images retreat in time, some of the mirror images were still sucked in by the Sage Tree. It allowed the injuries of the Sage Tree to recover again.
The entire situation was instantly reversed.
“If this continues, I’ll definitely be played to death by this Sage Tree!” Xiao Shi also felt danger. He had a strong premonition that this Sage Tree would become stronger as time passed. If he could not resolve it in a short period of time and dragged this on, he would definitely be exhausted to death by this Sage Tree. “It can only use its absorption ability for three minutes, so 1 have to kill it in the next three minutes!”
Xiao Shi’s eyes turned cold. The reason why he was not in a hurry to attack was mainly to observe. Now that he had a certain understanding of the abilities of this Sage Tree, he was prepared to take action personally.
Swoosh! He directly pieced together the Ice Domain Hell Blade and the Handle of Myriad Mirrors in his hand, forming a long saber with resplendent ice crystals.
It was the Ice Mirror Hell Blade! Currently, the usage of Ice Domain Hell Blade and Handle of Myriad Mirrors has been used up. However, when the two were combined to form the Ice Mirror Hell Blade, there was still one use.
Xiao Shi raised the Ice Mirror Hell Blade in his hand. A layer of ice shell condensed on the blade that was covered in ice crystal patterns, emitting a visible cold aura. His skin was a dreamy ice blue, and his hair fluttered without wind. Ice crystals that looked like starlight surrounded his hair.
He raised the Ice Mirror Hell Blade in front of him. The tip of the saber stabbed into the ground, and cold air quickly spread in all directions, causing the ice in the entire ice domain to rise to an even more terrifying level.
The thick vine that swept out from the ground was about to sweep towards the Martial Demon Realm cultivators beside him and start a massacre when layers of thick and hard ice shell condensed.
Crack! The front end of the ice shell formed by the vines cracked and shattered heavily on the ground that was also formed by the ice shell. At the same time, the ice on the ground kept condensing, turning into an ice mirror image identical to Xiao Shi. It charged straight at the vines condensed by the ice shell.
“All of you and my mirror image will deal with this vine.” As soon as Xiao Shi finished speaking, he had already teleported and charged towards the distant Sage Tree. The threat posed by the Sage Tree was mainly those two vines.
The Red Refined Corpse was dealing with one vine. As for the other vine, he would leave it to his mirror image and other Martial Demon Realm cultivators to deal with it.
Xiao Shi’s goal was to kill this Sage Tree in the next three minutes!
