Chapter 30: Distress
I followed the feeling and went all the way, and suddenly I heard the sound of running water, and I searched for the sound and found a stream. After the first two incidents, I probably already understood that everything here was changed by illusion, and I don't know if the water here is real or fake. I looked up at the sky.
"Xiaoka, this water can be drunk, and there is still fruit to eat in the forest behind you. Lin Shan knew that Lanka was asking him silently.
I got the answer I was looking for, so I took a few sips of the stream with confidence. The taste is sweet, not like sugar water but like sugar water. Not bad!
The sun was still evenly scattered in the jungle, covering the forest with a golden veil. After I had eaten and drunk, I looked around and didn't know where to go for a moment.
INTERVIEWER How about communicating with the plants here?
- It's just useless.
- And you're going to stay here forever?
- It's hard to say.
——???
I found a branch of the right size to lie down.
- I can only wait, waiting for them to pick me up.
"Xiaoka, why did you lie down?"
"He's going to spend it with us. ”
"Otherwise, let's move on to the next step. ”
"Yes. ”
"Agreed. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Damn, you can't say anything in advance if it's going to rain. ”
I was meditating with my eyes closed, but I suddenly got doused with water. They must have done it on purpose. It was still sunny just now, and now it's pouring rain. No matter how unhappy I am, I have to find a way to survive.
I can't care about the rain now, so I have to find a place to shelter from it. Fortunately, I have received relevant training before. I sawed off some of the thicker branches and built them into a conical support, and I tore off some of the broad leaves and covered them. A simple shelter is done. I was about to sit in when a strong gust of wind came and knocked me down.
I gritted my teeth and said, "It's useless for you to force me, you don't use magic ability." ”
As the words fell, I felt the ground under my feet shake a little, isn't it, and there is an earthquake.
Who knew it was a tree monster doing the trick. (The tree monster, as the name suggests, is a tree that has become a spirit, and it can be imagined as the tree demon grandma in Liaozhai.) )
In my heart, I once again greeted the ancestors of those four people. It's stormy now, and there's a dryad to deal with. I only have a dagger in my hand, and I don't know what skills this tree monster has, so let's run first.
Lanka thought that this tree monster was recruited by the four protectors, but it wasn't. The Four Dharma Protectors are now in trouble as well. They are entangled by the five ghosts.
The tree monster seemed to be able to see me and chase after me, but the terrible thing was that the branches of this monster could still stretch. His branches chased after me like whips that could be extended indefinitely. Gradually, I ran out of energy. Seeing that a branch was about to be pulled off, I clenched my dagger and waited for the right moment.
Bang Bang (the branches whip the air), Bang...... (I fend off his attacks with a dagger, but his branches seem soft, but they are not as hard.) The sound of my dagger rubbing against his branches. )
"Ahh......h His other tentacles came over and whipped me. My clothes were torn, and there were countless wounds on my body, and my bones were visible. If he comes a few more times, I'm afraid my life will be in danger.
Heh, that's what they call no danger to life. I had an unprecedented hatred in my eyes, and it was heartbreaking to experience such a betrayal again. It's because I'm so stupid, I've been deceived once, but I still stupidly believe that there are sincere feelings in the world. Wait, if I hadn't died, I'd have let you know why the flowers are so red.
The whipping did not continue. I looked at the dryad strangely, only to see him take a drop of blood from my forehead. "Ahh Maybe it's going to hit me hard. The ring given by Mr. Mace earlier emitted a bright light. Before I fell unconscious, all I saw was that the dryad had bounced off, and my brain didn't hurt anymore.
When I woke up again, I was already in the hospital. There were many people sitting around the bed, including the four Dharma protectors, Shu Luoling, and Teacher Mace. When I saw the Four Dharma Protectors, I thought of the pain I was suffering. Suddenly, it was as if he had seen an enemy, as if he wanted to pull them out of their bones.
The four protectors were frightened by Lan Ka's hatred, and they also knew that they were at a loss this time, so they obediently stood a little farther away.
"Demon King, do you know who made me like this?"
"It's the five ghosts. I'm sorry to hurt you again. ”
"Heh, five ghosts? Who did you listen to, these four people?"
"Huh, what do you mean by that?"
"They were the ones who trapped me in the jungle, and they caused the wind and rain, and they conjured up the dryad. What do you say about them, king? ”
"Xiaoka, you misunderstood. They were indeed the ones who led you into the illusion, but with my consent. ”
"So you mean that you can even ignore my life in order to force me. ”
"No, no, how is it possible, how can I be willing to hurt you. This time you got injured really because of the five ghosts. The Four Dharma Protectors just want to stimulate the potential in your body, but the five ghosts suddenly appeared in the middle of the way, and the tree monster you said was created by the five ghosts. When you were fighting the Treant, the Four Dharma Protectors were entangled by the Five Demons. By the time they reach you, you're unconscious, and the dryads are dead. ”
"It was Mr. Mace's ring that saved my life. ”
"Xiaoka, I'm sorry, we were negligent. ”
"Xiaoka, if you feel uncomfortable, we will let you fight until you get angry. ”
"Yes, yes, we'll let you beat and scold. ”
"Well, now I don't want to see you, so please go out. ”
The four protectors were afraid of upsetting Lanka again, so they had to go out dejectedly.
"Xiaoka, although these boys didn't protect you in time, they are loyal to you and the king. ”
"Don't you think it's strange? How did the five ghosts know my whereabouts? The only people who knew that I had entered the illusion training at that time were the two of you and the four of them. ”
The two hurriedly said that they had not betrayed the blue card.
"I still believe in you, but it's hard to say about the four of them. ”
"Xiaoka, you just woke up, don't think about it so much, I'll investigate the matter of the inner ghost, your main task now is to recuperate. ”
