Chapter 40: The Town: The Mutant Dryad
When they spoke, everyone suppressed the fear in their hearts, for fear that Ozawa would know that these people were actually dead, and as soon as they left, the scene exploded, because in addition to here, there were also thirty corpses on the other side, and when all the corpses in the yard were carried out, there were seventy-four people in total!
Although many people died in the last days and became zombies, it was all force majeure, but these seventy-four people died too strangely and were bumped into by them again, and everyone couldn't bear it, so they always had to investigate.
Shu Wei and Shu Yi were called over, Shu Yiqiao's face showed some impatience, pointed to a few people Lin Keqing found in the backyard, and said, "My parents and parents, the rest are relatives and servants!" β
It is clearly their relatives, but both of them look indifferent, as if it is a cat and a dog who died, no, some people will be uncomfortable if they die.
Strictly with a cold face: "Don't sue me You don't know anything, these people died no more than eight hours ago!" You were there at the time, weren't you? β
Unexpectedly, Shu Yi smiled and nodded, "I know, it was my brother and I who carried them to the yard." β
Shu Wei said slowly: "We all fell asleep last night, and only my sister and I woke up!" It's all our people, and we've moved here. β
Although it sounded normal, it was so abnormal that they said it so calmly, and the people's attempts to see the slightest sign of sadness in their expressions and eyes failed.
"You don't know anything? Is there anything out of the ordinary? β
Shu Yi didn't turn his face away and didn't speak, Shu Wei shook his head, "We're really asleep." β
As if they were strangers, no, even more indifferent than these real strangers to them!
The wolf warriors scoffed at their cold-bloodedness.
Lin Keqing knew that ordinary people in the last days were actually infected with the virus, and they would all be corpses after normal death, but these people had no such signs, she looked around and suddenly asked, "When did these magnolia trees grow taller." β
Shu Wei's eyes flashed, and he said, "When we fell asleep, we woke up like this." β
Strictly widened his eyes in surprise, "You mean, they grew so tall in one night?" β
Shu Yi nodded, "Yes, there weren't even buds yesterday!" β
When everyone heard this, they thought that it was the magnolia tree that absorbed people's vitality into nutrients, and when they looked at these flowers again, they didn't feel beautiful, but they were yin and invisible.
Lin Keqing pressed her hand on the magnolia tree, her white jade palm was pale cyan, sensing the vitality in the tree, and suddenly, the cyan bark suddenly wriggled, burrowing out a handful of worm-like roots, piercing her skin like a needle.
The appearance of these roots was like a signal, and the surrounding magnolia trees all "looked" over, and countless white roots crawled out of the trunks and wrapped around the people in the middle. Someone was accidentally swept into it, and opened his mouth to cry for help, when suddenly an arm-thick tendrel wrapped tightly around his throat, and screams and cries for help from all over the garden woke the whole garden.
Seeing that everyone was about to be wiped out, Lin Keqing toe a little, and a blood-colored gossip array appeared on the ground, with its appearance, a red circle of light with a diameter of thirty meters lit up around it, and the roots touched by the light wave retreated outside the aperture like a tide, surrounded outside the light mask, and waved the hostages entangled by the roots with teeth and claws, like bait caught by fishing money, dangling around, so that they were strictly in a hurry to save people, and they didn't dare to attack casually.
The rest of the empty vines looked at the people in the aperture like white snakes, and then wrapped themselves around each other, enclosing the aperture like knitting sweaters, like an upside-down bowl covering them.
Lin Keqing's ten fingers stretched out ten green vines, and they were drawn to the roots that were rolling around people, and a layer of flames was attached to the green vines, and bubbles bubbled up on the white whiskers that were pumped, extending to the main plant. Any speed is flawed, and these trees grow overnight, and there are hollows inside, which can easily be exploited. As the blisters evaporated more and more, the trees soon twisted and became dead trees, crumpled, like a young girl in the flower season suddenly becoming an eighty-year-old woman, and the branches of the flowers were like wires burned by fire, unable to support the huge magnolia flowers on the treetops, and curled together into a pitiful form.
"Why are you still stunned? Attack with fire! Lin Keqing shouted to Yan Yan while clenching his fist to transform the wood-based green vine into an orange flame, which instantly ignited the roots of the hanging person, the roots were painful, and he convulsed and threw the person down, and retreated as if fleeing for his life!
Strictly just now is a rat thrower, not daring to enlarge the move, at this time his people are temporarily safe, immediately a gorgeous turn, a mighty color fire dragon floated out of his body, opened the dragon's mouth wide in front of his chest, spewed out fireballs, and Lin Keqing and the two of them attacked from a distance and a close attack, and quickly rescued the people who could be saved.
Although these people were injured, they were finally not in danger of life, and they hid behind Lin Keqing in shock.
However, this array can only be activated by the blood sacrifice of boys and girls, Lin Keqing has used it a few times, and his energy is insufficient, so he can hold on for another three minutes at most.
With a turn of her left wrist, two fire vines jumped out like lightning, entangled Shu Wei and Shu Yi, who were unharmed outside the aperture, and were about to drag them in, but she caught someone, and those roots exploded like a mother who had robbed her child, but she was afraid of the fire vines, so she could only swing more crazily, blocking her retreat.
The orange fire vines that Lin Keqing had wrapped around the Shu family brothers and sisters in his hands were even more vigorous, and he didn't care if they could understand it or not, and said loudly: "Get out, otherwise you will burn them!" β
Those Bai Gen couldn't understand people's words, but they knew that Shu Wei and Shu were also in danger, so they didn't care about trying to rescue them, they were only second-order tree demons, Lin Keqing was not afraid, but she was annoyed that there were a lot of them, and she couldn't care about others, so she took out a handful of crystal nuclei from her pocket and pressed them on the array disk.
"They're the essence of those corpses, go and kill them all! This formation only lasts ten minutes! β
Everyone felt goosebumps when they heard this, these are all dryads who eat people's spirit, but at this time it is useless to be afraid, those who are not injured rush out, strictly rush to the front, and soon burn through a passage with heavy walls, but unfortunately his ability is limited, the passage is only half a person high, and everyone can't care about the image, kneeling and crawling outside.
In order to preserve his strength, Lin Keqing no longer destroyed the array, but hung Shu Wei and Shu Yi like the roots just dealt with the wolf warrior hostages, swinging around, those old hens with roots like covering chickens, also dangled from left to right, from right to left, although it is very dangerous now, but this scene is too funny, and people with low laughter can't help but laugh.
Shu Wei was tied up and hung in a brown man, feeling very embarrassed in his heart, but he could still maintain a calm heart on his face, and explained to Lin Keqing: "I don't know these monsters, we are innocent!" β
Shu Yi was frightened, and only then did he sober up, and Lin Keqing yelled angrily: "You let me down, I'm not in the same group as them!" β
Lin Keqing said: "Is it your reaction to the death of a normal person's family?" Would a normal person put the corpse of his family under a tree in such an environment? Don't sue me sΓΉ this is a tree burial! β
Shu Yi said aggrievedly: "Originally, it was to be cremated, there was no oil at home, we wanted to bury, the soil was full of roots, my brother said that the zombies were afraid of the magnolia tree, and it was okay to put it under the tree." β
Lin Keqing looked at Shu Wei, "How do you know that zombies are afraid of magnolia trees?" β
Although she also had such a guess, she was still unsure, Shu Wei only found out that the magnolia tree had grown up this morning, and during this time, there were no zombies in the center of this town, and they were all driven away.
Shu Wei said: "I don't know, but zombies are afraid of magnolia trees, I don't believe you can find a zombie to see." β
Lin Keqing didn't believe it, and talked to them to delay time, throwing them up and down to attract the attention of the dryads.
