Chapter 192: Trees Can't Be Killed
"Looks like the tree doesn't hang up so easily. Zong Xin said depressedly: "But the tree is a tree, it won't move, and it doesn't react, it seems that this is a very low-level trap, we are absolutely safe standing here." ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Yes~ This tree should be to use an illusion to lure others, and when anyone gets close, use the tree whiskers to entangle him and strangle him, and then wait for him to rot." With the intelligence of the tree, it is not easy to come up with such a harmful way. But for us, it's strange to be fooled. ”
"Are those who die so stupid?"
Li Yu still couldn't believe it, who would be so stupid, and such an obvious trap would fall into it? However, the tendrils of this banyan tree were indeed entwined with several people, judging from their outfits, there were both civil and martial arts, and they were all killed by these tendrils, presumably this tree should have other ways to attack.
"It's useless to say otherwise, since you can't burn it with fire, then use other methods. Let's compete to see whose anger is stronger. Zong Xin pulled out the treasure knife, and then swung it out of thin air, and the sharp knife qi came in an instant, landing on the whiskers of the banyan tree. The tendrils of the banyan tree are gently lifted backwards like catkins blown by the wind, and then hang down.
Although Zongxin's sword qi had some effect, it didn't have much effect, it just made the banyan tree move. However, what is surprising is that Zong Xin's knife qi even cuts these tree whiskers, with Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yu's understanding of Zong Xin, at this distance, it is not strange that Zong Xin's knife qi can cut off a tree, these tree whiskers are indeed a little weird.
It stands to reason that Yi Zongxin's current strength is indeed not enough to cut down the tree, but his sword qi should at least be able to cut off the tree's whiskers, which is absolutely no problem. If Zongxin was not injured at all, cutting down a tree would be a trivial matter. This tree is really unusual, and it can even use the tree whiskers to offset Zongxin's sword qi.
Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yu originally wanted to make a move, but when they saw Zong Xin's situation, they didn't want to make a move. Although Zong Xin's sword qi is not the strongest, if even he can't hurt this banyan tree, the effect of other people's actions will be the same.
"This tree...... It's really not easy, I can't use fire and knives, it seems that I only have a trick. Zong Xin looked proud, and it seemed that he was confident.
I saw Zong Xin put his finger in his mouth and licked it, measured the direction of the wind, and then took a deep breath and sprayed five colors of poisonous mist from his mouth. The poisonous mist went straight to the banyan tree, originally pushed with true qi, as long as the wind direction was not chaotic, these poisonous mist would not run around.
Everywhere the poisonous mist passed, the plants and trees were like lard entering a hot pot, melting and corroding little by little, and finally a puddle of poisonous water was left. Zhao Kuangyin had seen Zong Xin's five-colored poisonous smoke, but Li Yu had never seen it, and his face turned pale with fright. I knew that Zong Xin, a shameless monk, was powerful, but I really didn't expect that he even had such a high level of poison skills, is this a martial art that a serious monk should practice?
"You, you...... You even practice poison skills. I've known for a long time that you're not a serious monk. ”
Zong Xin didn't have time to pay attention to him, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't speak, because five-color poisonous smoke was not common. Zongxin doesn't like to eat poison, so he doesn't have much poison gas stored in his body, and often the demon gives the excess poison gas to Zongxin, and Zongxin can only collect these poison gases. After all, he is a halfway monk practicing poison skills, and his body is not used to these poisons since he was a child, even if he knows how to resolve them, sometimes he can't do it.
What's more, Zongxin is a foodie, and he likes to eat good things. I don't have much interest in poisons, so I can see Zong Xin's five-colored poisonous smoke Zhao Kuangyin also feels that this time Zong Xin is really helpless, and even used the last life-saving trick.
Seeing the poisonous smoke surrounding the entire banyan tree, everyone's faces were very proud. From the corroded plants and trees just now, I knew that Zongxin's five-colored poisonous smoke was extremely poisonous, and as long as it touched it, it would be corroded cleanly, let alone completely inhaled. Now that the poisonous smoke has enveloped the entire banyan tree, it is believed that soon the banyan tree will turn into a puddle of poisonous water.
"Amitabha, now I know how powerful the poor monk is. Be careful when you eat in the future, I'm a poisoner. Zong Xin's face was full of incomprehension, because these five-colored poisonous smoke were already his most powerful things. It only takes a little bit of True Qi to turn the opponent into a pool of blood, but this trick consumes the poisonous gas, and the poisonous gas stored in his body is not much.
'Suck~~'
Suddenly, as if sucked, all the poisonous gas entered the dense leaves of the banyan tree and disappeared without a trace. Everyone was stunned, Zong Xin's five-color poisonous smoke couldn't be helped, the cultivation of this banyan tree was really good. But what now? The banyan tree, though standing motionless, was almost invincible, as if it was not afraid of anything.
There was no way, Zong Xin scratched his head depressedly. Although this tree can't move, it can't get close either, because the three of them were injured, so the sword qi and sword qi were not enough to hurt it, and this tree was really not afraid of other methods. What's more, even if the strength is restored, it may not be able to cut down this tree with sword qi.
"Don't be in a hurry, it's not in a hurry, it can't move anyway, we can slowly figure out a way. I'm hungry, what about you?"
"Yes~ I've been running for a day, and now it's getting late, let's find something to eat. ”
Zong Xin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on this tree here, and you go hunt some game and come back." Be careful, this tree is definitely more than that, in case it deliberately causes you to get lost, and then it will be bad to get close to it without even realizing it. ”
Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yu nodded at the same time, what Zong Xin said is very reasonable, the fog around here is very heavy, if you accidentally get close to this banyan tree, who knows how powerful its tree whiskers are.
Actually, I used to be scared of youkai, but when I actually saw it, I realized that youkai were nothing more than that. But this time it was lucky, I didn't expect that it was a tree that became a spirit, no matter how powerful the tree is, it is still a tree, it can't move, it can only stand in place to make traps, so no matter how powerful this tree is, there is always a way to kill it.
Zong Xin sat down on the spot, staring at the banyan tree, but whenever it made the slightest movement, he immediately ran away. Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yu walked together to see if there was any game in the vicinity. Although the probability of two people walking separately is higher, it is better to walk together for safety.
Li Yu said: "Brother Zhao, isn't Master Zongxin a high-ranking monk? He should be able to use some spells to subdue the monsters. Master Zongxin deliberately separated us, did he not want us to see him cast spells, afraid that we would learn it?"
"You're thinking too much. "Zhao Kuangyin knows best, how can Zong Xin know any spells? He is just a relatively smart monk. The talent and IQ of martial arts are very high, so they can play everyone. So far, Zhao Kuangyin knows too many ulterior secrets of Zong Xin, and Zhao Kuangyin is also worried that one day Zong Xin will kill himself.
Li Yu shook his head, thinking that Zhao Kuangyin didn't know much about Master Zongxin. Master Zongxin is a high-ranking monk, and there will definitely be a way to kill that banyan tree. He just deliberately separated everyone, not wanting others to see what he did. By the time he got back, the banyan tree should have died.
After Zong Xin saw Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yu walking away, he suddenly stood up and took out the wine gourd. I didn't mean to separate the two, but I suddenly had an idea.
"That woman's hair must also be the whiskers of a banyan tree, why does this banyan tree have to put its tendrils in the water? and it turns the spring water milky white, and what happens if the tendrils don't touch the water?"
Zong Xin took the Bacchus gourd and chuckled: "Gourd, I heard that you can hold a river of water, I don't know how much water is in the gourd, but it shouldn't be a big problem for you to fill this spring." ”
Seeing that the gourd did not react, Zongxin immediately detoured to the upstream and opened the mouth of the gourd into the spring water. The gourd immediately produces a great suction, and all the water upstream is sucked into the gourd.
This small mountain spring is not worth mentioning, and how can it be compared to a real river with an arm's width. There was no water upstream, and of course there was no water downstream, although it was not far away, but Zongxin watched the river dry up in an instant, and the beautiful girl's hair was no longer soaked in the water, but plunged deep into the soil under the spring water.
After the white milk spring dried up, the beautiful girl's face was finally no longer a charming smile, but a look of doubt. Other than that, the tree remains unchanged.
Zongxin looked very curious, originally this girl's hair was not in the spring water, but in the dirt. But that doesn't mean anything, is it that the tree deliberately turned the spring white to hide the secret of its hair in the dirt?
Zong Xin stared at it, and there was something under his hair. Although it was not obvious, it could still be seen that the thing had a corner exposed, a green horn, which looked like a piece of jade.
The beautiful girl looked at Zong Xin tightly at this time, and after a hateful glance, she disappeared without a trace. Zong Xin didn't even see what was going on, why did he suddenly disappear? Although he knew that his eyes were not flowering, he didn't know how this girl disappeared. All that remained was the tendrils of the huge banyan tree, which were like the girl's hair, and many of them were deep into the dirt except for a few fishing, and these tendrils surrounded the jade in the dirt.
"Hey...... It's so strange, it's a pity that Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yu are not there, and I won't know if these two guys believe it or not. Zong Xin was also quite proud, after cutting off Quanshan, another situation really appeared, but after this step, Zong Xin didn't think about what to do next.
"Otherwise, I'll take that piece of jade away. "Zongxin didn't know what kind of jade it was, why it was hidden in such a place. This old banyan tree deliberately hid the jade in the spring water, and also made the spring water milky white, just to hide this piece of jade?
I'm afraid there is only one possibility, the banyan tree may not want this piece of jade to be seen by anyone, and deliberately turned the mountain spring milky white. If it is a clear spring, someone may see the jade and take it away. The banyan tree tried everything to protect this piece of jade, so that it is what it is today.
Even if a tree becomes a youkai, it doesn't need to eat people, and even if you want to get a little fertilizer, you don't necessarily have to use human flesh. So this tree must have killed people for other purposes, except that these people deliberately hurt him, and one can only think of what it is protecting.
