The reason why Lu Ping made this answer was based on the conclusion he came to after rational thinking.

The problem with the fox is that if it wants to kill Shen Bing and Eriko, it means that it may not really kill.

Even if it really has to kill, because this is a game where the truth must be told, and according to the rules of the game, every sentence must be told the truth.

So the fox has already said that only if it dies, it will kill Shen Bing, so to kill Shen Bing Its death is a necessary condition, so as long as it does not die, Shen Bing will be fine.

But Eriko is different.

For Eriko's life and death, there are no necessary conditions. Assuming that Lu Ping's answer is to protect Shen Bing, it is very likely that the fox will take action to kill Eriko, even if it is a game, Lu Ping does not want to take this risk, after all, he promised before entering the black pine forest that he will protect Eriko.

So Lu Ping gave such an answer, protect Eriko.

As soon as Lu Ping's words fell, a roar like thunder suddenly came from the forest, which was deafening.

"Hahaha...... Boy, you're lying! You're lying! I forgot to tell you, this black pine forest has another name, it's called the Forest of Truth, it's one of the contracts made by that man back then, and in the Forest of Truth, no deception is allowed, otherwise you will be punished, hahaha......"

The fox danced happily and happily fanned the bat fan in his hand, just as happy as a child receiving New Year's money.

However, Eriko found that Lu Ping could no longer move at this time, his feet gradually turned black, and a scene similar to that that only appeared in legends became a reality.

The original red and white sneakers turned black, rough like tree bark, full of ravines of different shades, the black gradually extended, and soon, Lu Ping's calves also became like black pine trees, losing the elasticity and texture that pants should have.

Eriko rushed over, frantically trying to stop the change, and with both hands she slashed at the parts that had turned into bark.

But the spread continued, and the black bark was as hard as steel, and even though Eriko tried all her strength, it still didn't help.

The bark of the tree was getting more and more, and Eriko smashed it with both hands, and the hard bark made Eriko's nails peel off, and blood continued to flow out along her arms like a flood that opened the floodgates.

Lu Ping lowered his head and looked at everything in front of him, but he didn't have any expression at all, just said something lightly.

"Eriko, step aside. ”

Eriko looked at Lu Ping dumbfounded, as if she knew that this was irreparable, and wanted to shout but couldn't.

Lu Ping's limbs no longer had any feelings, and he found that his vitality and spiritual power would be hindered by the bark in the process of running downward, which showed a problem, those parts that were eroded by the bark were changing, and they had completely become two parts from the original body.

Lu Ping had heard of a similar technique, which was the ability of a creature living on a remote planet in the universe, which was extremely rare and was called a dryad.

On most planets, plants are usually used as conduits for spiritual power, continuously releasing a large amount of spiritual power into the atmosphere, so plants themselves do not have the ability to cultivate.

But the dryads are different, they are like parasites that pierce the roots of the tree deep into the planet where they are located, and increase their strength by sucking the power of the planet, and over time they have the power to defend themselves against foreign enemies, one of which is to plant the enemy.

It is said that if you inhale the pollen of this plant, it will turn into seeds in other organisms, and then grow by absorbing nutrients from the host, and finally break out of the body and become a new dryad.

In the process of the growth of the dryad, the host plantation is the main manifestation, even if the immortal cultivator inhales the pollen of the dryad, if it is not excreted from the body in time, once the plantation begins, it is difficult to treat.

However, Lu Ping had only seen the introduction of the Dryad in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of Haotian Palace before, but he had never encountered it.

The black hard bark occupied every inch of Lu Ping's body at an extremely fast speed, and in a few minutes, Lu Ping's neck and down had all the bark melted.

"Fox, has anyone escaped punishment after telling a lie?"

Lu Ping asked the last question, but before he could hear the answer, his face and head were covered with black bark, and he continued to grow, and after a while, he became a very ordinary, very inconspicuous black pine tree.

Eriko leaned against the black pine tree that Lu Ping had turned into, sobbing, but she had calmed down a lot, her eyes staring directly at her blood-stained hands, and clenched into fists fiercely.

"Fox, is Sect Master Lu still saved?"

The fox looked at Eriko with a smile and tilted her head triumphantly, her beard shaking like a mockery, and the corners of her mouth were grinning.

"Little girl, you have to be careful, you can only play truth or dare to ask questions here. ”

"Okay, then I'll play Truth or Dare with you. How can I get Grandmaster Lu back to his original state?"

Eriko stood up suddenly, her eyes red as fire, and she stared at the fox with tears in her eyes.

The fox pretended to be frightened, covered his mouth and took several steps back, covering his mouth with a fan.

"Oh, I'm scared, the little girl is so powerful, much more powerful than the girl I gave before......!

Eriko was stunned, the fox's words suddenly calmed her down, in fact, thinking about it, she was also very concerned about what happened to the girls who were offered in the past, listening to the fox's meaning, there may be other things in this.

But at this moment, a cold light flashed in the corner of the fox's eyes, like a sharp dagger reflecting the smile of death, such a subtle change did not escape Eriko's eyes.

Eriko understands that this is most likely a trick played by a fox.

"Fox, you don't have to deliberately delay time, I think the man you said shouldn't have such a big loophole when formulating the rules of the True Forest, if you can drag it out indefinitely, wouldn't it be the same as deception!"

The fox smiled, and although this smile was still so treacherous, there was some praise in his eyes, but these praises were really minimal, and in terms of his stingy character, it was already an unprecedented compliment.

The fox spoke, this was the first time he was stating something in a very firm tone, and anyone who heard this kind of voice and felt that momentum would be convinced of the fox's words, because it was not lying, and this was probably the truest thing it had ever said in its life, and it could swear to its unique and beautiful tail that the latter sentence was impeccable.

"No, there's no way to save him. ”
