Chapter 127:
Opening his eyes from a burst of extreme tiredness and a splitting headache, he saw weeds and branches all over the ground. An Ji, who had formed the yin and yang of the "twigs", was about to run away subconsciously. But he stumbled and fell to the ground with a hoot.
"Ah my leg..." Angie remembered the horrific wound on her leg that was attacked by the tree demon, and suddenly felt sadness in her heart, and crystal tears flashed in the corner of her eyes: "My leg hurts... Huh ?"
The two calves under the skirt are smooth and white, not a single wound can be seen.
What about the leg injury? ?
Being at a loss, suddenly several groans came from behind, An Ji looked back, and there were several young people lying on the ground covered with dead branches, it was Wu Shi and others.
The sun was shining overhead, there was still some time before dusk, the path was lined with sparse trees, and everything was exactly the same as when they had just left the village.
Did…
Tang Xiao's voice sounded beside him: "Finally awake?"
Before everyone could react, the sound of saliva rang out one after another. Especially Wushi and Anji, who had just "fighted" with the tree demon, only felt unbearable hunger in their stomachs, and their stomachs were already the first to growl.
Old face flushed, Anji coughed lightly: "Are we safe now?"
Tang Xiao glanced at her and continued to grill.
Just as he was about to get up, the cold light shook his eyes, and An Ji noticed that Tang Xiao's other hand was not pressing on the ground, but a crescent-shaped machete! The blade is quenched with cold light, even if it is several meters away, it is still hard to look directly at it.
Remembering the series of mindless calculations she had made on Tang Xiao under the control of the tree demon before... An Ji swallowed and sat back again, trying to pretend that she never stood up and try to minimize own presence.
The other people are not the same, even the most carefree young man dare not say a word, like after a game, the pig teammate who has been beating his strongest output is trembling, for fear of mvp in the audience The appearance of reckoning after autumn.
Only one person stood up impatiently, it was Wu Shi.
Wushi also disregarded his own mud and explained loudly: "Everyone, we actually didn't fight the tree demon at all, and we were not injured. We were just pulled into sleep by the tree demon, everything was just an illusion !"
Everyone was shocked. An Ji's eyes widened even more. As a divine envoy, the first thing she was tempered by divine power was her spiritual power. Even if her physical fitness was limited, she was mentally capable of crushing mortals. But if it was as Wu Shi said, she would be pulled into a dream after being hypnotized, and she would even be ignorant!
Even gods can easily hypnotize, how terrible is the power of this tree demon?
Wushi continued to explain, it turned out that he was knocked out in the dream, and the red nose possessed by the tree demon threw it away angrily, and was directly thrown away Out of the dream, back to reality briefly—
When he opened his eyes, he almost scared him to death. I saw that except for Tang Xiao, everyone was tied by branches and hung from the tree, their eyes closed and they fell asleep. There was a sound of fighting in the distance. Tang Xiao shuttled through the treetops, cutting down one black tree after another as easily as mowing the grass. After a few moments, he cleared the surrounding trees and returned to where everyone was. .
Seeing Wu Shi wake up, Tang Xiao was a little surprised. But before he could say anything, the angry attacks of the tree demons followed one after another. It's just that the real forest is obviously not as scary as the dream. Tang Xiao whipped it casually, and clumped the attacking branches into a ball and tied it into a dead knot, using it as a racket.
Black Stone: "…"
Dream: "…"
The humiliated tree demon directly blew up the branches, and Tang Xiao didn't care much. She said to Wu Shi: "These branches are not the body of the tree demon, so no matter how you attack it, it will not cause real damage to it. It is just to make you live longer in your dreams."
Wushi discovered that all of them had a branch stuck in their backs, slowly sucking their blood!
With a machete, it stabbed a few branches that came to attack.
Wushi quickly asked: "Then how can we help you?"
"That's not necessary. You can do your best to protect yourself." Tang Xiao laughed, "I'm testing its trump card, the time has come, no matter where it hides its body, it can't escape being caught. My destiny to kill."
Then Wu Shi felt groggy and returned to his dream under the spell of the tree demon.
I can't find it."
Russa's weak voice sounded from nowhere: "Not only that, since the tree demon can transfer his body at will, even if the envoy Tang Xiao enters the dream, the tree demon can also transfer the body. To reality. That is, no matter what, it can't be found."
"He is old, he has been sucked blood, and now his life is in danger. Only divine power can save him."
Tang Xiao stated the facts while grilling, and looked at An Ji calmly.
Angie: ...Look at me, you are a ready-made god!
Tang Xiao: "The tree-fighting demon consumes too much divine power, I can't use it now."
Angie: I believe in you, you look so good!
But other people believed it, especially the foolish boy Wushi who was kidnapped by An Ji. After this danger, he took Tang Xiao's words as an imperial decree, and seemed to think that all the gods were like Tang Xiao. Awesome, looking at Angie with expectant eyes.
Angie: "...Gan."
She can only drag her weak divine power to treat Rusa. Fortunately, the experience in her previous life is still there. Although there are not many divine powers that she can use, it is enough to restore enough vitality to Rusa. But after it was over, she was also exhausted and completely lost her strength.
The nth time in history, Anji, who was proud of his divine power control, began to doubt his life:
Is it because she really didn't work hard enough, that's why she's always lacking in divine power in this life?
Not to mention An Ji who fell into self-doubt and the elated Wu Shi and others, Tang Xiao left the roasted meat and water, and left alone and returned to the open space in the middle of the woods.
At this moment, a group of human-shaped branches are being buckled here, and they are constantly struggling under a fishing net.
"Let go of me...human...you can't really kill me, you'll regret it..."
The tree demon's hoarse voice sounded in the air, and the struggle under the fishing net became a little more intense.
Tang Xiao: "Don't struggle, although this fishing net is broken, it is more than enough to trap you."
Before entering this dungeon, one of the props Bai Qi gave her: [Magic Fishing Net], a consumable prop that can only be used three times, just to deal with monsters with the energy level of the tree demon.
Even if there is a fishing net to suppress, the tree demon still refuses to cooperate. It smiled and said: "I have seen that you are not a demigod or a **** at all, you are just a mortal who has extra power by chance! The power of a mortal is fragile and short-lived, you are not afraid that I will tell the truth. Those people outside?"
"No, I don't need to tell the truth at all, as long as you arrive at the capital, a sage will naturally discover this fact... Even if you are lucky enough to hide from the mortal king, you won't be able to reach the foot of Mount Olympus. , you will be burned to death by the divine fire from heaven... The power of mortals is worthless in the face of gods and demons, accept your destiny, ants..."
Tang Xiao rubbed his ears, "Your main ability is [hypnosis], then can I understand that it is not only the illusions and dreams you created, even every word you say, Are they all invisibly hypnotizing and brainwashing the listeners?"
Where is it in my hands?"
"It's just that once I listen to you and doubt my power, hypnosis will become a reality, and then my power will be really weakened, isn't it?"
The tree demon was silent for a moment, and reluctantly admitted: "You are indeed a bit smart, and you are different from these mortals. I am very curious, the purpose of your disguise as an angel..."
Tang Xiao turned the machete, "I hope you are not mistaken, now is not the time for you to ask me, but my interrogation-how were you born? Why are you parasitizing here in the Abbes Mountains, Is the Abbeth Mountains a monster like you?"
The tree demon laughed: "The ridiculous human race thought that this ugly fishing net could threaten me, hahahaha..."
Tang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and inserted the machete back to his waist. With a flip of the palm, a cluster of pure black flames suddenly ignited in the palm, beating quietly in the air.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the group of human-shaped branches under the fishing net stopped at the same time, not daring to move under the black flames.
Tang Xiao: "I seem to remember that the last time you saw this flame, you called me Hadas and immediately turned around and ran away. It seemed like a few minutes ago."
The Tree Demon: "... Hadas, are you really Hadas? Impossible! Hadas would not come back to such a remote place even if he disguised himself as a human race... What do you want? Why do you have Hellfire?"
If the front is temptation and hypnosis, this time, the tree demon is really afraid. It struggled back desperately, trying to get away from the black flames.
Hellfire?
Tang Xiao looked at the karmic fire in his palm and slowly retracted it.
If she guessed correctly, this "Hadas" should correspond to Hadas, the king of the underworld in an ancient mythology in the real world, the legendary **** who masters hell.
Since the tree demon will mistake the karmic fire for the fire of hell, then the effects of the two must be similar. It seems that this world can not only lift Luo Er's ban, but also a good place for her to completely let go of her hands and feet and test her strength.
As for the tree demon, as a local monster that has lived for an unknown number of years, its practical value is much higher than killing it. Tang Xiao is not ready to kill it - at least he must first squeeze it out and use it Let's talk about value.
"Host, Luo Er has just successfully cracked some of the remaining fragments of the original system of this copy world!"
Although the remaining energy was almost used up, Luo Er's voice was still very excited.
Tang Xiao immediately shifted his attention: "What's the solution?"
Luo Er: "What I have obtained is the quest program of the original system, including a variety of side quests and corresponding rewards in this world, but the punishment mechanism has been erased by me, host, do you want to install it? "
Tang Xiao was shocked.
Success is rewarded, failure is not punished. She didn't expect that with her luck, she could have such an opportunity in life!
Is this all the hard work?
She immediately decided: "Install!"
After a few seconds, Luo Er successfully received the first task:
Reward: 20,000 points, a chance to draw a lottery! 】
Tang Xiao pondered for a while: "Luo Er, open your eyes to see if there are any game coins in the lottery prizes."
Luo Er took a look: "Yes! Host!"
…
?
"Sorry, it's all for life, I can only let you die here."
Tree Demon: "???"
Tree Demon: "??????"
What does it mean to just let it die? Make it clear! !
However, it was too late to speak, the black flame had already fallen on its body, and swept the whole body in an instant—
The branch that encountered the karmic fire finally screamed and revealed its original face, the withered bark turned into a burst of black gas that was desperately fleeing, but the black gas where the karmic fire spread was swallowed up, But in a few moments, the whole group of branches "burned" completely, and even the ashes disappeared.
However, even though the last smear of black energy has disappeared, the karmic fire has not stopped, and it seems that there is still something burning in the air.
Tang Xiao folded his arms and watched this scene, the karmic fire came from her energy, no one knew what was going on better than her.
***
Dead seabed, endless abyss.
The monsters attached to it all screamed and fell, but they were also swallowed up by black flames in an instant.
Countless pairs of "eyes" were cast here, and the entire abyss resounded the unwilling last words of the tree demon in the flames:
"Western Continent...Dodo Kingdom...Tang Xiao...Tang Xiao!!"
