Chapter 58: The Fury of the Forest

There were more than 100,000 people in the Central Plains expeditionary force rushing to the Western Regions, and from the sky, the mighty army was like a giant dragon. Pan'er was wearing armor, holding a sword, riding a black war horse, and running to the Western Regions with the mighty Central Plains army.

Because of the strict military discipline, women were not allowed to join the army, so she wore a steel helmet on her head, covering her delicate little face, and the drums and horns sounded in unison, and the dust was flying, but no one found out that she was a woman. Trekking through mountains and rivers, they walked deep alone, and they walked into the dark and dense forest again.

From time to time, there is a strange sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling from time to time in the depths of the jungle, and I don't know whether it is a ferocious beast or a hungry evil ghost, which is terrifying. The soldiers could not help but feel eerie, and the old general ordered the soldiers to beat the drums and trumpets and light the torches. For a time, the earth shook the earth, the sound shook the forest, and the footsteps of 100,000 soldiers resounded throughout the jungle.

I don't know how long I walked, but I felt that the air was cold and damp, and the soldiers were tired and hungry, so the old general gave the order to go down, set up camp, and rest in place. After a while, the soldiers began to chop down tree trunks on the roadside, sat in groups of threes and twos, built bonfires, and prepared to set up pots to cook. I saw the grain trucks shuttling quickly through the military array like a long dragon.

In this dark forest, the flames reflected all around, and the faces of every soldier were red. Pan'er didn't say a word, she sat around the campfire with the soldiers, and listened to them silently.

"Why are you fighting?"

"To fight a war is to eat military rations. ”

"yes...... Now where there is still crops, if you don't go to the army, you have to starve to death. ”

"When you win the battle, what are your plans for the future?"

"Take the military pay and go home and marry a daughter-in-law. ”

"If only there was a woman here...... Let us be happy too...... Hahaha......"

"I heard that the women of the Western Regions are different from the women of our Central Plains, with blue eyes, high nose bridges, and a charm that looks like that. ”

"Oh, and that kind of thing, isn't that a monster with blue eyes?"

"Let's get to the Western Regions, grab a few women and try it......

She listened from the sidelines, feeling uneasy. She looked up slightly, and under the light of the fire, she saw that these rude soldiers had faces full of flesh, and their eyes were full of desire, like a bottomless black well. Their snorting became more and more rapid, and there was a sense of restlessness in the air.

Pan'er couldn't help but tremble, for fear that they would find out that she was a woman, and she didn't know what terrible things would happen if they found out. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she just wanted to hurry away.

At this moment, only one soldier said to her, "Little man, why don't you speak?"

Pan'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to gasp. She clutched her sword tightly and stood up to leave.

The soldier looked strange and exclaimed, "You little man, take off your helmet." ”

I saw that the soldier also stood up, walked towards her step by step, and said, "Why are you so strange, don't move! I think you look like a spy!"

Pan'er panted nervously, and was about to run away. Suddenly, I could only hear an old voice from the depths of the jungle: "Why are so many people here...... Can you guys be quiet...... Where did you come from......"

The voice of the old echoed through the secluded jungle. Suddenly, there was an uproar in the army, and the soldiers stood up, drew their swords, and looked around, but no one knew where the strange sound came from.

At this time, I only heard the old voice speak again: "There are so many of you, you are setting fires and cutting down trees, what do you want to do?"

Pan'er was nervous, but when she heard this voice, she seemed to have some impressions. She thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered. When she and Garuda flew to the Central Plains, through this dark forest, she also heard the voice of the old man.

She sighed and said in a loud voice, "Who are you? What kind of demon are you?"

The voice said, "I'm not a demon, I'm the ...... of this forest."

"Huh?" Pan'er exclaimed in surprise, but in disbelief, she said again, "You are the forest, how can the forest speak, where are you?"

The voice said, "Look up, I'm above you." ”

Pan'er looked up at the voice, and her eyes immediately widened. In front of her was a towering tree, and the shape of this towering tree resembled a tall castle. The blue light flashed, and the ancient tree actually opened a pair of strange eyes.

It was a pair of crystalline sky-blue eyes, like an elf from an ancient time, and it made eye contact with him, as if entering an ancient dream.

Pan'er was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Are you a tree fairy?"

The towering ancient tree said in a muffled voice: "I absorb the aura of heaven and earth and cultivate into an immortal." You people are so disgusting that you have made this day pitch black, and you can't see a ray of sunshine. You have brought so many people to destroy this forest. I'm going to wipe you all out!"

Suddenly, the earth shook, and I saw that the towering ancient trees actually moved. The roots of the ancient tree, which were deep in the dirt, were pulled out, and suddenly turned into two huge feet.

The ancient tree jerked its foot up and stepped down into the chaotic crowd. In an instant, a blur of flesh and blood, only the screams of the soldiers could be heard, and the screams were undulating.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! All the soldiers listen to the order, prepare for war! Prepare for war!"

Seeing the old general rushing over on a war horse, he stopped at his horse, and the pair of old and sharp eyes looked at the ancient tree intently, and exclaimed: "What kind of monster is this?" He looked around, and suddenly shouted: "Everyone disperse, all disperse! Burn it with fire!"

All the soldiers listened to the order, and they all retreated a few feet. They picked up their torches and threw them at the towering tree.

The branches of the ancient tree were ignited, and he let out a muffled roar that shook the earth slightly. He shouted, "I'm going to bury you all in this forest!

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that all the trees around him moved. Step by step, the treemen rushed into the crowd, using their huge roots to lash and trample wildly towards the crowd.

In the midst of this chaos, I suddenly heard a few crows crying "Wow Wow Wow~", and in an instant, a wind blew, and the leaves of the forest made a rustling sound. After a while, thousands of crows swarmed out from all directions, like a storm of wind and rain hitting the crowd.

The towering ancient tree muffled, "Put out the flames!"

Several tree men moved their huge figures and walked towards the fire, lifting the huge roots and extinguishing the fire with one kick.

There was no fire, and it was pitch black all around, except for the howls of the crowd. In the depths of the dark jungle, dark shadows could be faintly seen jumping back and forth.

Pan'er looked forward nervously, only to see a pair of cold and shining eyes staring here, and there was a sound of the beast snorting and panting again.

All the soldiers also sensed the strange movement coming from the depths of the jungle, and they all shouted in amazement: "What is this? wolf pack! wolf pack!"

For a moment, the black shadows jumped, and in the dark forest, the roars of wild beasts came and went. In the chaos, I don't know how many wolves have sprung up in all directions. One by one, the soldiers collapsed in pools of blood before they could even utter a shout.

At the moment, this army is precarious and embattled. If this continues, the 100,000 troops of the Central Plains are afraid that they will be buried in this dark forest before they reach the Western Regions.

Pan'er was frightened and anxious, she touched the darkness while dodging the attack from the giant tree. In a hurry, she hurriedly raised her arms and shouted, "Stop!"

Suddenly, a colorful light illuminated the dark forest. At this critical juncture, the Seven Treasures Blessing Bead in Pan'er's hand was shocked by a magical scene, and even she herself was greatly surprised. When the wolves and crows saw this divine light, they were so frightened that they jumped into the depths of the jungle.

When the soldiers saw this divine light, they were all dumbfounded. In front of them, Pan'er was just a short soldier, several soldiers raised their spears, rushed forward to surround Pan'er, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?

Pan'er hurriedly said: "I'm the same as you, I'm from the Central Plains!"

A soldier suddenly shouted, "How is it a woman's voice?"

Another soldier then shouted: "She is not an ordinary woman, she is a fairy!"

The soldiers were attacked by ancient trees and wild beasts, and when they were scurrying around, they were shocked to see this magical scene, and they were even more surprised.

I only heard the sound of the towering ancient tree, and said in a muffled voice: "Who are you?"

Pan'er said loudly: "Big tree! We met, do you remember?"

The towering ancient tree hesitated for a moment, walked step by step, leaned over to look at Pan'er, and said, "Have you seen me?"

Pan'er took a breath and took off her heavy helmet, she shook her jet-black hair, and said, "I came here with a divine eagle a few days ago, and you talked to us, do you remember?"

I only heard an exclamation of "wow" in all directions. In front of the soldiers, Pan'er exuded a strange white light, her long flowing hair danced in the wind, and her soft face was like a fairy.

The towering ancient tree stared at it for a long time, and suddenly said, "Are you that little girl, why are you back again?"

Pan'er pleaded: "Please stop, don't hurt these people!"

The towering ancient tree said: "No! Everyone here today has to die! I read that you are a girl, let you live, you should leave quickly." ”

Pan'er exclaimed, "Why?"

The towering ancient tree said: "These hateful people burn my forests, kill my animals, and cause so much so that they don't see the sun for a long time, don't they deserve to die?"

Pan'er's heart sank, and she hurriedly said, "Big tree, I know you're angry. I know that these people have done a lot of things to hurt you, but this time we are going to save the common people, and the lack of sunlight this day is the devil's trouble, not us. Now that the demons are attacking the Western Regions, please let us go, otherwise you will never see the sun!"

The towering ancient tree was stunned for a moment, and said, "Are you going to deal with Moluo?"

Pan'er said: "Exactly!"

The towering ancient tree hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you sure you can win?"

Pan'er pondered for a while and said, "I don't know, but I know that more soldiers are also coming one after another, and we won't let the Heavenly Demon succeed." ”

The towering ancient tree said, "Can you guarantee that your army will no longer burn and cut down my forests?"

Pan'er nodded again and again, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, hearing Gu Shu say this, as if she intended to let them go.

The towering ancient tree suddenly shouted, "You all stand down!"

In an instant, the dancing tree people, the terrifying crows, and the ferocious wolves were gone.

Pan'er said happily: "Thank you for not killing!"

The towering ancient tree said: "Although I hate these people, I hate the demons even more! The venom, resentment, fear, greed, and hatred they unleashed have made a mess of this forest. All vegetation can no longer grow, all flowers can no longer bloom, the Qinghe River has turned into stinking water, and only bones are left of the living creatures. You must destroy all those demons!"

Pan'er couldn't help but move in her heart and asked, "You hate the Heavenly Demon?"

The towering ancient tree said: "Those demons don't know how to live in harmony with nature at all. They are insatiable and will only turn the world into a desert. ”

Pan'er took a breath and said, "Then please join us!

......

The wind was gusting, the cold rain was rustling, and the valleys of the Western Regions were full of people, and blood flowed like rivers. The smell of blood roamed the air, and the evil spirits outside the valley smelled the smell of human blood, and became extremely excited, and they all stirred.

On a large tree in the valley, the dense leaves suddenly moved, and then a black hand reached in, and then a terrifying head appeared.

This head has the head of a bull for a while, a horse's head for a while, and a human head for a while, with one eye on the door of the head and the other on the chin, one nose facing the sky and the other facing the ground, and one ear in front and the other in the back.

Suddenly, a black-green flame erupted above his head, followed by a hoarse laugh.

The king couldn't help but look up, and many of the guards also raised their heads, except for the blood-stained executioner, who was still wielding a butcher's knife.

Yaksha!

This ancient demon has an extremely keen sense of smell, and the smell of blood and human flesh makes him extremely excited.

His blood-red eyes fluctuated up and down, and in an instant, a green ghostly fire burst out.

He leapt forward, spread his wings, and flew into the air, shouting, "Here they are! I have found them!" The evil roar resounded above the valley, like the harsh sound of metal cutting, and it made the bones stand on end.

Suddenly, the roars of demons echoed in the distance. The earth is shaking violently, and hordes of evil spirits are swarming into this valley.

The king's general was stunned, drew his sword, and shouted: "The evil spirit has appeared!

The king was frightened, and quickly stood up, drew his sword, and shouted, "Kill the evil spirits with me!"

The soldiers received the order, held aloft their blood-stained swords, gathered in a group, and rushed towards the Yaksha in unison. At the same time, the terrified people fled in all directions with the surging soldiers, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

In the chaotic crowd, I saw two big men, looking at each other, and suddenly pounced on a guard together. The guard's eyes were all on the Yaksha, defenseless, and he was thrown to the ground. I saw that one of the two big men snatched the sword from his hand, and the other hurriedly picked up a stone and smashed it into the head of the guard.

The guard was killed instantly. The two men turned, knocked down one of the guards, and snatched the sword from his hand.

Two or two people turned back and shouted, "We surrender!" and we are willing to give the king's head!"
