Chapter 52: The Dryad Peng Hou [Seeking Collection]

The two hurriedly dispersed and fled, and the Demon King had no time to take care of Zhao Fengyang at this time, and only hoped that he could protect himself. He spewed out a ball of flame and burned directly at the tree, expecting a move to surround Wei and save Zhao.

But one of the branches of the tree coiled into a wooden shield, blocking all the flames, while the other branches wound towards the Demon King from all sides.

Originally, to deal with this kind of wood-based monster, fire-based spells were relatively good, but it seems that the opponent's demon power is not weak, and the strength of the Dirty Demon King is still not recovered enough, so it can't cause substantial damage to the opponent by relying on ordinary spells.

Facing the branches attacked by the other party from all sides, the Demon King had no choice but to dodge, secretly complaining in his heart: Shen Yifan's body was still not strong and tenacious enough, which greatly reduced his strength.

The Demon King was thinking about saving some true qi, and after finding the opponent's weakness, he would use high-level spells to make sure that one blow was fatal, so he had been trying his best to dodge over there, and he would only use spells to resolve the crisis when he had to.

While dodging, he was trying to get close to the trunk of the tree, and looking at the situation of the monster, its branches could grow continuously, so it was useless to burn the branches, and he had to break the trunk with all his might.

However, just as he was entangled with those branches, two branches rushed out of the ground behind him, entangled his legs in an instant, and dragged him to the ground. The other branches took the opportunity to rush up and entangle him alive.

At the critical moment, the Demon King's palms condensed flames, turned his palms into knives, and quickly cut off the branches that wrapped around his legs, and then rolled to the ground with a cat's waist, escaping from the encirclement of other branches.

At this time, the tips of some of the branches became sharper and sharper, almost like spikes, poking towards the Demon King. The Demon King is desperately dodging, this is going to be poked, but it's not a joke, Shen Yifan's body will definitely be directly pierced, and neither of them will be able to survive by then.

I didn't expect the monster to be so strong this time, the demon king felt a little sad, and his recovery was still too slow, so that now he was bullied by the dog in Pingyang. Before this was changed, he could burn this tree to the ground with one big move, so why did he have to fight it for so long.

However, it is difficult to achieve the previous strength again, and there is no point in dwelling on the past, and it is imperative to defeat the opponent in front of you as soon as possible. The Demon King didn't think much about it anymore, and once again concentrated on fighting with the other party.

However, the flames of the Demon King could hardly reach the trunk of the tree, either extinguished by the leafy branches or blocked by the wooden shield. However, the Dryad's attacks on him often threaten his body. After fighting like this for a long time, the Demon King's physical strength and true qi have been consumed a lot, but he still hasn't found a real way to attack.

The Demon King began to think about whether he should save up a big move and fight directly, because the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for him, and the chances of winning would be lower and lower. Unfortunately, while he was thinking, he finally couldn't dodge and was entangled in the other party's branches.

This branch hadn't been able to get rid of it yet, but the other branches had already followed quickly, and after a while, the Demon King's whole body was entangled, and he couldn't break free at all.

The branches became tighter and tighter, as if they were going to strangle the Demon King alive.

In desperation, the Demon King had no choice but to prepare to turn all the true qi in his body into fire, igniting himself from his body, thus burning all the branches wrapped around his body. Although this trick will burn yourself enough, it can prevent yourself from being strangled directly.

At this moment, the Demon King heard Zhao Fengyang roaring over there, and with the sound of a click, the branches wrapped around the Demon King broke off one after another.

The Demon King took the opportunity to break free with all his might, and finally escaped. The fact that he didn't need to rely on self-immolation to escape also made him breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, he saw that Zhao Fengyang was wielding a nearly one-meter-long Dongying knife and was slashing branches there.

Those branches were probably shocked by the power of the treasure knife in Zhao Fengyang's hand, and they retracted back into the big tree one after another, giving the two of them a chance to breathe.

The Demon King glanced at Zhao Fengyang's knife and asked in a low voice, "This knife of yours can't be handed down by your ancestors, right?"

Zhao Fengyang said in surprise: "Yes, how do you know." I don't want to come out with this knife until I have an emergency. ”

The Demon King nodded and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that after more than a thousand years, this 'alchemy' can still be used." ”

Zhao Fengyang asked suspiciously: "How do you know about this knife? This knife is said to have been in the first generation of our Zhao family." ”

The Demon King pursed his lips and said, "It's not clear for a while now. Since we have this knife, then we can fight back, and I haven't forced the opponent's real body out until now, and I am about to lose confidence. ”

Zhao Fengyang was completely confused, and asked, "Isn't the real body a tree demon?" Although he has been walking the rivers and lakes for more than forty years, there are not many demons and evil in this era, and the various monsters he has come into contact with are also limited, so his understanding of monsters cannot be compared with that of the Demon King.

The Demon King said briefly: "According to my estimate, this monster is very likely to be the Wood Spirit Peng Hou. It is a type of yokai that hides in a tree and looks like a dog, but does not have a tail. Vicious by nature, he will actively attack passers-by, so he has to be extra careful. ”

Zhao Fengyang didn't have any decent plans in the face of strange monsters, so he asked the Demon King: "Then what should we do next?"

The Demon King looked at him and asked, "Do you trust me?"

Zhao Fengyang hesitated, although the other party was a monster, but so far, it seemed that he had never done anything to hurt humans, he thought for a moment, nodded slowly and said, "I believe it." ”

The Demon King said firmly, "Then you give me the knife to use." You don't have the mana now, and you can't exert the power of this 'alchemy' at all. And if I don't have a magic weapon in my hand, I can't do anything about this monster. Instead of sitting back and waiting, let's give it a go. Don't worry, I'll give it back to you. ”

After Zhao Fengyang struggled inwardly for a while, he finally handed the knife to the Demon King.

The Demon King took the knife and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the one he used back then. He said to Zhao Fengyang: "You hide outside, this monster is too powerful, I can't take care of you." With that, he rushed towards the dryad with his sword.

The Dryad was afraid of the sharp sword before, and no longer took the initiative to attack, but at this time, the other party directly killed it, and naturally could no longer sit idly by, and hundreds of branches surged out, rolling towards the Demon King from all directions.

The Demon King let out a loud roar, pouring the true qi of his whole body into his hands, and then passed it into the treasure sword. I saw that the whole body of the treasure knife glowed red, and then it burst out of flames, becoming a veritable flame knife.

The sharp blade brought flames, and its power increased dramatically, cutting down the swept branches in an instant, and even if there were branches that came out of the ground to sneak attack, they could not escape the eyes of the Demon King and were cut off one after another.

Just as the Demon King was cutting through all the thorns and thorns and killing the trunk of the tree demon, Zhao Fengyang's cry for help came from behind him.

It turned out that Zhao Fengyang did not hide outside the courtyard. He still doesn't trust the Demon King 100%, after all, the other party is a monster, and he took his family's ancestral treasure knife, who knows what he will do, so he hid in the corner and watched the battle between the Demon King and the Dryad.

Unexpectedly, the dryad found that his attack could no longer help the Demon Queen, so he focused all his attention on Zhao Fengyang's side, and simply killed Zhao Fengyang with all his strength first. So countless branches drilled into Zhao Fengyang's side from the ground and began to attack Zhao Fengyang.

Zhao Fengyang couldn't use mana, he used to rely on the sword to defeat the opponent's attack and rescue the Demon King, but now the sword in his hand is gone, and he can't fight the other party with his flesh and blood, so he can only dodge everywhere. It's a pity that after all, I am old, my legs and feet are not flexible, and I am entangled by the other party. Seeing that there were more and more branches entangled, and some sharp ones were ready to stab them, they had to shout for help.

The Demon King looked back and saw that Zhao Fengyang had been tightly entangled by the other party, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Didn't I tell you to hide outside, this kid, it's really more than enough to succeed, alas." But there was no way, Zhao Fengyang was already the only bloodline he left, and he couldn't bear to break it in front of his eyes, so he quickly turned around, cut a bloody path, and killed Zhao Fengyang.

At this time, several sharp branches had already poked at Zhao Fengyang, and Zhao Fengyang, who was struggling to no avail, completely gave up resistance, closed his eyes and waited for the other party to hit himself hard, but fortunately, the Demon King arrived in time, and the treasure knife waved horizontally, cutting off those branches all together.

After the Demon King rescued Zhao Fengyang, he directly blasted him out of the courtyard, and Zhao Fengyang didn't dare to insist on staying, so he ran away.

At this time, only the Demon King and the Dryad were finally left in the courtyard. The Dryad knew that this opponent was extraordinary, and no longer made any reservations, and the attack came like a storm. In an instant, the leaves and branches of the trees swarmed towards the Demon King.

The Demon King held the knife in both hands, swung it in a circle, and not long after, a cyclone formed in front of the Demon King, and at this moment, the fire on the sword rose sharply with the wind, relying on the whirlwind, a huge fire dragon surged out, rushing towards those leaves and branches, and everything in its path turned into a scorched black.

The fire dragon flew towards the dryad with its teeth and claws, and the dryad quickly gathered the branches into a huge wooden shield in front of him.

The dragon slammed into the wooden shield, scattering into clumps of flames and igniting the branches. The dryad was busy extinguishing the flames everywhere, and the Demon King had already taken this opportunity to come to the dryad's side and split the trunk with all his might.

A strange and terrible scream pierced the sky, and the You family, who were waiting outside the house, couldn't help but tremble when they heard it. It seems that the big tree is really a youkai, and they have lived with youkai for so long, if it weren't for luck, I'm afraid they would all become victims of youkai.

The Demon King's knife went down, and a large hole opened in the trunk of the tree, and a stream of red liquid spurted out, which seemed to be the blood of the monster.

At this time, the dryad went completely crazy in the severe pain, and the sharp branches and sharp leaves rushed towards the Dirty Demon King frantically, and dozens of vines jumped out of the ground at the same time, trying to entangle the Dirty Demon King.
