Chapter 2039 It’s time for a showdown
There was no need for him to say anything more, everyone heard the sound of rustling.
The bark was broken into powder and fell down.
Then, the soldiers in the trees heard a crackling sound coming from under their feet, which was dull and distant, but frightening.
What is this? Luo Xie's face changed: "Oh no, everyone, get down quickly, the tree is about to fall!"
When everyone heard this, they climbed down the tree as fast as they could, wishing their parents hadn't given them two more legs.
Once such a towering tree falls down, whoever is crushed underneath will be turned into meat paste in a mortar.
The crackling sounds became louder and more frequent, like countless bundles of ropes being broken.
While running wildly, Luo Xie blew a loud retreat whistle to remind the people under the tree to get away as soon as possible.
The last person jumped off the tree. This huge tree, which was rare in the world, could push down a mountain of gold and overturn a jade pillar, and it smashed directly towards the north!
During this process, the trunk, branches, and twigs were the first to collapse and were either turned into powder or fragments.
The sight of its falling body shook the entire forest.
This scene will be unforgettable for all the witnesses.
Even though this world is full of mysteries, the existence of a hundred-foot-tall giant tree itself defies common sense. It is a monster born from the combination of the characteristics of two sacred trees in the Dafang Pot. It must squeeze out all its vitality within a limited time to break the Wood King Cauldron.
After experiencing such extreme exploitation, its life is destined to be short, so short that it will not even see the second night, and its fate is to return to dust and to earth.
Everyone was lucky; the giant tree did not fall towards them, but the horrific dust and haze still forced all living people back several miles away.
Looking at the smoke and dust not far away, Luo Xie knew that there was no way to clean up the scene, so he raised his hand and called everyone:
"Collect the troops and return to camp!"
What happened in the past two nights is destined to become a classic legend that will be passed down forever in the Dragon God Army!
They can't wait to go back and brag about it.
After everyone left, the forest gradually returned to peace.
The fires died down, the trees fell, and within three months the empty space left by the battle would be filled with new vegetation, just as a wound on a person heals.
Two days later, a large group of woodpeckers flew in from nowhere and flew in and out of the ashes and wood piles where the huge trees had fallen.
Humans have gone away, and there are many birds visiting here, but they are half a size larger than eagles, and there are more than two hundred of them. They directly drive away all other birds, and then start to work.
Knock knock knock knock... The whole forest was echoing with the sound of them pecking at wood, the frequency of which was higher than that of the electric drill hitting the wall in the other world.
But the ruins were so huge that they knocked on the wood for five days and five nights before a few woodpeckers pecked out a few fat, white bugs from the large pieces of debris.
At first glance, this insect looks a bit like a slug, but the antennae on the top of its head are not eyes, but ears. Its body is also like honeycomb briquettes, covered with strange little holes, called "sound holes", which can capture the smallest sounds around it.
They change color and can move very quickly in a short period of time, getting away from their enemies.
This little thing is also nicknamed "yes-man".
There are many kinds of echo insects in the world, with different types and appearances. These ones were the ones that Qingyang quietly pressed into the tree trunk when he was defeated and fell down.
After landing on a tree, these insects will immediately burrow deep into the bark, but they will always pay attention to what is happening outside.
Three days after the war ended, that is, after humans had left, the woodpeckers came to collect these yes-men.
This was of course Qingyang's arrangement.

There was a heavy snowfall last night, and the ground in the capital of Shen State became three feet thicker.
Queen Ying got up and felt too lazy to move, so she stayed in her warm room. She wanted to read some books while watching the snow outside the window, but she didn't expect King Shen to come.
"What a joke! You're not busy with official duties today?" Her husband got up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than anyone else every day. When he was so busy, Queen Ying wouldn't see him for three or four days.
He Chunhua smiled: "I'm not made of iron, don't I have to take a break once in a while?"
Queen Ying snorted.
He Chunhua quickly said: "I also want to spend more time with you."
Queen Ying then changed her anger into joy: "What's there to accompany? The snow is so heavy that we can't go anywhere."
"The entire Cloud City is your home. Is there any place you can't go?"
He Chunhua stayed with her in the warm room for half a day, and then they changed into casual clothes and quietly went for a walk around the city.
When it was almost dark, Queen Ying had bought a lot of things and was very happy. He Chunhua then said, "It's time to go back to the palace. I'll call Yue'er over, and we'll have a family dinner tonight."
Her husband and son were both busy, so the three of them didn't have many opportunities to eat together. Queen Ying nodded immediately, but she felt strange.
King Shen’s family banquet was of course extremely sumptuous.
He Yue arrived earlier than his parents, and the family had a happy meal together, just like many years ago.
The only difference is that there is one less person at the dinner table.
Of course, time can dilute any pain.
After the dishes were finished and the atmosphere was just right, He Chunhua coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I have something to tell you."
Both mother and son turned to look at him.
Just now he was laying the groundwork and lamenting that it was not easy to be a king, and that he often got into a dilemma over what to choose, and then he praised He Yue for being diligent and studious, which was his style. He Yue knew that his father probably had something important or difficult to announce.
He is also twenty years old and is no longer the simple-minded boy he was five or six years ago. He has followed his father in the army and fought in battles. He has also raised food and supplies for the army in the rear. He is accustomed to battlefields, knows the human heart, and understands his father more and more.
Queen Ying was chatting happily and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"Do you know the Golden Plains?"
Queen Ying thought for a moment and said, "I think I've heard it before, from far away."
He Yue said: "To the east of Mou State, the area is vast, but there are constant wars."
It is such a remote place with underdeveloped transportation, it was good enough for the people of Shen to know its location and size.
He Chunhua said softly: "The gods told me that a new strong man has appeared in the Shining Gold Plains. His army is invincible and is about to sweep across the entire Shining Gold Plains."
"Really?" Queen Ying didn't care at all. "It sounds like this person is very powerful."
No matter how powerful it is, what does it have to do with the State of Shen? They are thousands of miles away.
"After the collapse of the Shining Gold Empire, that place has been in chaos for more than 800 years. There are separatist forces everywhere, and no unified country has ever been established. It has had several opportunities, but they all failed." He Chunhua was also a little helpless, but some things cannot be kept secret forever, because they are destined to be revealed. "But Naraku God believes that this time may be different."
He Yue was surprised and said, "The area of the Shining Gold Plain seems to be larger than that of the Mou Kingdom. Can this strong man swallow it all?"
