Chapter 1338: More and More Mysterious!
When the dryad told us about its misery, we were all stunned for a moment. Truth be told, it's not a great story, and it lacks logic.
For example, it says that it would have been a dry riverbed. So why are there so many rats here? Enough for it to eat here for that long, there must be a lot of rats.
Also, it says there's a rain of blood here, let's just assume it's true. But I haven't heard of any blood rain that can make the little demon who has just entered the demon path turn into a human form in one step. If this blood rain is really so magical, then how can those monsters who have cultivated for thousands of years and still can't turn into human form be embarrassed?
And then it said that there was another mysterious man, and since this mysterious man had great powers, why did he turn it into a tree, why didn't he just crush him to death? And the most important point was that it turned into a tree and produced so many insects and fruits, what trouble could it bring to others?
That's what I thought about when I heard this story. If the dryad can't explain it all, then I'm almost certain that it's making up a story, and she's wasting our time.
Of course, we followed Uncle Pony out to practice, and the final decision was made by him, not me.
Uncle Pony frowned slightly, and then asked, "You said that you drank blood rain and met a mysterious person." That mysterious man is from the Valley of the Dead?"
As soon as Uncle Pony's words fell, the dryad immediately replied: "Immortal Yingming, that's exactly the case! I said before, the mysterious man said that this blood rain should not fall here, so where should it be? Later, I figured out that the blood rain was actually for the Valley of the Dead!"
When Uncle Pony heard this, he immediately asked, "How do you say this? How can you be sure that the blood rain is for the Valley of the Dead?"
The dryad slowed down for a moment, then replied, "It's actually very simple, after I became a big tree, people often come here. But it's not the living, it's the dead! I heard these people speak, and I realized that they were actually from the Valley of the Dead. And the purpose of these people is to pluck the worm fruit from me. Not only that, but they seem to be fascinated by insects, and every once in a while they come to pick several large baskets, and the more they pick, the more insects and fruits I have. And that's why I've grown so much. ”
Uncle Pony nodded slightly, and then fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he spoke again, "You said that the people of the Valley of the Dead like to eat the worms and fruits on your body. But what is the use of this worm, and how can it fascinate them so much?"
When the dryad heard this, he immediately replied, "Because I drank the blood rain, and I became a big tree, the blood rain that was scattered in the land before was actually absorbed by me. According to my guess, these insect fruits are actually born of those blood rains. ”
Uncle Pony sighed lightly, and then nodded in response: "What you said is not unreasonable, in this way, it just confirms what you said before, that the blood rain should have fallen in the Valley of the Dead." But I don't know, what will happen to these people in the Valley of the Dead after eating these worm fruits?"
As soon as Uncle Pony finished speaking, the tree demon suddenly said urgently: "Shangxian, the people of the Valley of the Dead have come to pick fruits again." Do you want to dodge?"
As the saying goes, the bell must be tied to the bell. Since the people of the Valley of the Dead love to eat this fruit, they must know what it is for.
Uncle Pony smiled and nodded slightly. There is a lot of vegetation here, and it is not difficult to hide it.
The four of us chose a piece of dense grass to take shelter in, and after a while, we saw several stiff people with withered faces slowly approaching. I counted it, and there were five of them.
The clothes on the five men were in tatters, and each of them had a huge bamboo basket in his hand.
After putting down the bamboo basket, they immediately set off to climb the tree. Before they could climb to the heights, Uncle Pony flashed and rushed to the ground.
Seeing this, we hurried to follow. Uncle Pony stood still under the tree, and then said coldly: "Get down all the obstacles on the tree!"
As soon as these words came out, the five people on the tree suddenly showed surprise. But this was only surprise, not the slightest fear.
Obviously, they didn't take a peerless master like my Uncle Pony in their eyes.
Seeing that they were ignoring him, Uncle Pony immediately flew up and kicked heavily on the trunk of the tree. The big tree was kicked by Uncle Pony, and it shook violently.
The five people above were unsteady on their feet and fell from the trees one after another. Before they could get up, Uncle Pony had already dispersed his true qi and directly imprisoned them in place, making it difficult to move. It was only at this moment that these five people suddenly realized and immediately begged for mercy.
"The master spares his life, and the little one doesn't know that the master is here, and asks the master to forgive his sins. Ask the master to open up and spare us!"
It's funny to think about it, these people in the Valley of the Dead are actually no different from the dead, but they are still so afraid of death. It seems that they also treat themselves as living beings, when in fact they are just souls that have never left the body.
Uncle Pony looked at them coldly, with his hands behind his back, and then said in a loud voice: "You are all from the Valley of the Dead, right? Why do you come here to pick fruits? Could it be that you still eat fruits for a living?"
As soon as Uncle Pony said this, one of the big leaders immediately replied: "Master, this fruit is the holy fruit of our clan, and we have to eat one every few days, if we don't eat it, our bodies will fester, so we will come here to pick the fruit." ”
This vicious insect fruit is actually called a holy fruit by them, which makes people disgusting when they think about it.
When Uncle Pony heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "If you don't eat this fruit, you won't die, right? What does it matter if your flesh is rotten? Tell me honestly, what is the purpose of this fruit?"
Seeing that Uncle Pony didn't believe it, the big man immediately explained again: "Master, we really didn't lie to you. This fruit is really the holy fruit of the clan, and the ancestors said that if you don't eat this fruit, your body will be lazy and scum, and you will never be able to live again. ”
Ancestor, there is such a number one person in this Valley of the Dead, judging from this name alone, I am afraid that he is a master, could it be the mysterious person that the dryad said in his mouth?
Uncle Pony hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you want to live, it is not difficult, as long as you take us into the Valley of the Dead, I will protect you from death when the time comes!"
When several people heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The big-headed man opened his mouth and said, "Master, if you want to enter the valley, we can take you there now." But...... But you have to pick the fruit before you can go back. Otherwise, the valley guards won't let them in!"
It's the valley keeper again, and it seems that what the half-cut person said before is true.
Now I want to go into the Valley of the Dead more and more to see, how many unspeakable secrets are hidden in this mysterious Valley of the Dead?
