Chapter 58, The King of Flowers and Trees
Looking at the iron gate leading to the sixth floor at the top of the tower, and then looking at the remaining steps on the tower wall, Lin Luxian said, "What can we do? How do we get to the sixth floor?"
Lan Bingyun looked at the iron gate above her and said, "Let me fly up and investigate first." ”
Lan Bingyun flew up to the top of the tower, gently pushed the iron door above, and then carefully poked his head forward to watch. Then she flew down and said to everyone, "This sixth layer doesn't seem to be very dangerous inside, but there are a lot of vines crisscrossing it, and we can pass through these vines and climb up to the seventh layer. ”
Zhu Xinyan said, "Originally, Bing Yun could have carried a few of us to fly up, but the waterfall was too heavy, and she would never be able to hold it! So we have to go back to find a strong long rope and climb up one by one along the rope, and then Bing Yun will gently support the people who are climbing on the rope, presumably we can all climb up easily." ”
Xiao said, "We must leave people to live here, we have been targeted by the Blue Shura people, we are in the light, they are in the dark. If we go out of the tower and go back to the woods to find the rope together, we are afraid that the Blue Shura people will do something in this tower, and then we are afraid that we will not be able to enter this tower again. ”
Yes, yes, yes, yes, we must act separately, in pairs, and take care of each other. We're going to leave two people on this fifth floor. Leave two more on the first floor of the tower to prevent the Blue Shura people from closing the tower door. The remaining two went to Uncle Hao's house to find ropes. Zhu Xinyan said
After the division of labor was clear, everyone took their own actions. Xiao and Ao Yi were guarding the fifth floor of the tower, Dian Waterfall and Zhu Xinyan were guarding the entrance of the first floor, and Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun were in charge of going to Uncle Hao's house to find the rope.
When Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun arrived at Uncle Hao's house, they found that he was not at home. It seems that he should have gone to hide in Aunt Shan's house. Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun climbed in through the window of Uncle Hao's house, and after the two of them rummaged through Uncle Hao's house, they finally found a bundle of rope, which should be forty or fifty meters long.
Lin Luxian put the rope on his shoulder, and the two of them had just left Uncle Hao's house and were about to return to the Heavenly Tower, but Lan Bingyun found that there was a movement in the grass not far away! Lan Bingyun immediately stretched out his bow and arrows, looking around vigilantly, and Lin Luxian also raised his shield to protect him.
Lan Bingyun took the lead in shooting an arrow into the grass in front of her, and after a while, the grass gave Lan Bingyun a few arrows in return! Lan Bingyun immediately lay down to dodge, Lin Luxian hurriedly squatted in front of her and protected her with a big shield. Lan Bingyun used Lin Luxian's shield as a barrier, she hid behind Lin Luxian, and from time to time leaned out half of her body from the left and right, shooting arrows into the grass in front of her. And the arrows shot in the grass were all blocked by Lin Luxian's shield. Seeing that the two of them could not be injured, and no more arrows were shot in the grass, the forest was quiet for a while.
A moment later, Lan Bingyun flew into the air, wanting to see the grass in front of him from a high vantage point. As soon as she flew more than ten meters high, she was shot in the back by an arrow from behind her, and she staggered down from the air, her wings disappeared, and she couldn't fly again for a while. Lin Luxian hurriedly ran over and protected the big shield behind her.
It turned out that the Blue Shura clan in the grass had already circled behind them. Under the cover of the dense forest, one of the Lan Shura tribesmen quietly flew into the air and gave Lan Bingyun an arrow to her back, shooting her down. And at this moment, Lin Luxian was also extremely anxious, Lan Bingyun was shot and injured and lost the ability to attack, but the enemy always hid in the dark and couldn't see his figure!
Just as Lin Luxian was nervously looking around, he was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and the big shield in his hand also fell to the ground... At this moment, the Blue Shura people appeared from behind the grass and trees, and among them were two Blue Shura people who fell from the sky. These seven or eight Lan Shura clansmen surrounded the injured Lin Lan and the two, opened their bows, and their arrows were ready to shoot at the two of them at any time. Seeing this, Lin Luxian hurriedly hugged Lan Bingyun. And these Lan Shura people were not in a hurry to attack Lin Lan and the others, after they exchanged for a while, they stepped forward and forcibly dragged Lin Lan and the two away, Lin Luxian struggled hard, but was stunned from behind by a wooden stick.
When Lin Luxian was woken up, he found that he had been tied with a wrist-thick rattan and couldn't move. He was hanging two or three meters above the ground.
"Lu Xian! Lu Xian, you're finally awake!" shouted Lan Bingyun, who was also hanging aside
Lin Luxian turned his head to look at Lan Bingyun, and found that it was not only Lan Bingyun who was hanged, but the entire team of six people was suspended in this place! Lan Bingyun continued, "It's okay now, we're already on the sixth floor of the tower. ”
Lin Luxian looked at Xiao on the side and asked, "We, how did we get here to the sixth layer?"
Xiao returned" Not long after the four of you went down from the tower, Ao Yi and I saw a lot of Blue Shura people flying in from the window! And the wooden door on the top of the fifth floor was opened from above, and some Blue Shura people swooped down from above! We were surrounded by a dozen or so Blue Shura people with spears. Ao Yi and I fought with them, and these Blue Shura tribes split into two groups, one attacking us from the ground and the other attacking us from the air. There are many of them, and they all have long weapons, Ao Yi and I have to take care of the surroundings, but also have to pay attention to the top of our heads, and it is very difficult to parry... In the end, we were outnumbered by them and captured alive by them... Hey, if I hadn't used the invisibility technique just now, I wouldn't be able to use it again for a few hours. Otherwise, I'll be able to catch them off guard!"
Ao Yi, who was hanging beside Xiao, then added, "After the two of us were captured alive, we were tied up by these Blue Shura clans and taken by them to the sixth floor of the tower. Then, not long after the Blue Shura people left, the rattans on this layer writhed as if they were alive! Two of the rattans wrapped us tightly and hung them in the air... Soon after, I saw that Brother Dian and Sister Zhu were also brought to this sixth layer by these Lan Shura people, and after that, they were also hung up by rattan... ”
Dianpu, who was hanging beside Ao Yi, said, "These Blue Shura people are simply despicable! But not long after, eight Blue Shura people appeared in the sky, and these people swooped straight towards us! They all held spears in their hands, and at first glance, they were not good! I hurriedly clenched the big sword in my hand and prepared to meet the enemy, and Zhu Xinyan also used the flame shooting technique to block these Blue Shura people more than ten meters away, so that they could not approach the gate on the first floor of the tower for a while. But a few Blue Shura people flew in through the window on the side of the tower, sneaked up behind us, and put a few spears against our backs, and then we found that we were surrounded! If it weren't for their numbers, how would we have been taken captive ... ”
Zhu Xinyan continued, "After that, the two of us were tied up by them, and then these Blue Shura people flew up, carried us, and stuffed us into the sixth floor of the tower. Soon after, we were tightly wound by two rattans and hung up. I was going to burn the rattans by burning my hands red with fire control so that the rattans would let me go. But after being caught in these rattans, I found that my hands were numb, and my palms could not condense the heat... After being hung up, we found out that Xiao and Ao Yi were also hanged. Soon after, you and Lan Bingyun were also taken to this sixth layer, and they were also hung up by rattans. Hey, I can't imagine that even though we have reached this sixth layer, this will be the result!"
At least, your weapons weren't taken away by them, and it seems that these Blue Shura people don't know what to do. Xiao saw Lin Luxian, and their weapons were thrown on the ground below.
The six of them were all hung among the dense rattans on the sixth floor of the First Touching Sky Tower, sighing and sighing. Soon after, a voice came from around them, "Are you so desperate to reach the sixth level? The vines that hang you are blood-sucking black vines, and these black vines are slowly sucking your blood while enveloping you. Do you feel a dull ache where you're tied? It's the tiny pinholes of the black vine sucking your blood. In less than an hour, you will all be sucked out of blood and die!
Lin Luxian and the others couldn't see this person's face clearly, because there were too many black worms here and too dense, Lin Luxian and the others only saw his two blue arms, and the white wings behind him loomed in the black worm vines. It seems that the person who spoke was from the Blue Shura clan, but what surprised Lin Luxian and the others the most was that this Blue Shura clan could actually speak their language!
After this Blue Shura clan left, the rest of the black vines couldn't hold back any longer, and they all squirmed towards Lin Luxian and a few of them, slowly climbing up the bodies of several of them, and entwining them in an impenetrable air! It seems that these black vines can't wait to suck a mouthful of human blood! The entangled Lin Luxian and the others are even more frightened, so many black vines are entangled together, and they will be sucked dry of blood in a few moments! Even if they are not sucked dry, several of them will die of suffocation...
Lan Bingyun was hit by an arrow in his back and shed a lot of blood. But she tried to stay awake, and she thought that this black vine is also a plant, and if it is a plant, it belongs to the category of flowers and trees. In other words, she can communicate with the black vine! She closes her eyes and keeps her mind from thinking about anything else. Soon after, she heard a noisy and noisy voice, it was these black vines who were talking, "Let me suck, I'm hungry!" "You all let Jean! let me suck, just take a bite!" "You go away! I'll come first!" Lan Bingyun shouted to them, "You all disperse, don't hurt us!" Unexpectedly, these black vines actually said in unison, "King of Flowers and Trees?" Then, Lan Bingyun couldn't support it anymore because of a back injury, so he fainted.
When Lan Bingyun opened her eyes again, she was already in Lin Luxian's arms, and the injury on her back had also been healed. She said to Lin Luxian, "I, I remember that we were not entangled by the black vine, why now?"
Ao Yi leaned over and said, "Sister Lan, you are so amazing! Just now we were all entangled by these black vines, and our lives were on the line! But I heard you shout, you all disperse, don't hurt us! I didn't expect these black vines that were entangled with us to really disperse, and we were all released!"
Dianpu also leaned over and said, "Okay, Sister Lan, when did you learn this trick?"
Lan Bingyun thought about it, before she fell unconscious, these black vines had said four words, King of Flowers and Trees. She looked around again, and all the black vines in the tower had retreated to the tower wall, which seemed to be crawling with stout creepers.
Lan Bingyun stepped forward, stroked one of the black vines, and slowly closed her eyes, and at the same time she told Lin Luxian not to make a sound. Soon after, Lan Bingyun heard the voice of these black vines, "It's the king of flowers and trees, it's the king of flowers and trees!
Lan Bingyun heard the voice of the black vine, so he asked and answered the black vine, "What are you calling me?
"Yes, you are the king of flowers and trees!"
I don't know what the king of flowers and trees is, but I am a flower and tree spirit clan. ”
"For hundreds of years, you are the only one who can communicate with the flowers and trees, you are not the king of flowers and trees, who is the king of flowers and trees?"
"Yes, yes? Okay, anyway, I want to thank you for sparing us!"
"We are all willing to obey the arrangement of the King of Flowers and Trees, how can we hurt you, the King of Flowers and Trees?"
"Then why are you here, still sucking blood?"
We can't help it, we don't suck blood, we only suck water. But then we were captured and locked up here by the Blue Shura people, and we haven't sucked water for many years. So we need to hydrate urgently, otherwise we'll be wilting soon. ”
"Alright then, I'll take you to find water when you get out of this tower!"
"Thank you, King of Flowers and Trees, after you come, we don't have to obey the orders of the Blue Shura clan anymore, we are willing to obey your dispatch in the future!"
After Lan Bingyun opened her eyes, she found that except for Xiao, the other four people were looking at her with caring foolish eyes, and they saw Lan Bingyun closing her eyes and talking to herself about a black vine for a long time...
Lin Luxian stepped forward and said to Lan Bingyun, "Bingyun, are you hiding something from us?"
Lan Bingyun told Lin Luxian the truth, causing a wave of jealousy from everyone.
Zhu Xinyan asked puzzledly, "Then since you can communicate with the flowers and trees, then aren't these Blue Shura Clans also able to communicate with the Black Vines?" As soon as the Blue Shura Clan left just now, these Black Vines all crawled towards us. ”
Xiao explained, "This is different! The Blue Shura clan can only communicate with the flowers and trees in one direction, that is to say, these black vines can understand the words of the Blue Shura clan, but the Blue Shura clan cannot hear what the black vines say. So they can only say orders to the black vines, and then let these black vines enforce them! To put it bluntly, this is a kind of slavery, and these black vines are slaves, and they must unconditionally obey the orders of the Blue Shura clan! The king of flowers and trees is different, the king of flowers and trees can communicate with flowers and trees in both directions, and what she says, flowers and trees can understand. And what Hua Mu said, she could also understand. Therefore, the king of flowers and trees can also understand the thoughts and needs of flowers and trees while ordering flowers and trees. So, this is the real communication with the flowers and trees!"
After listening to Xiao's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
Subsequently, Lin Luxian and the others were going to rest in the tower for one night, they were sucked a lot of blood by the black vine, and they had to rest, and it was not appropriate to climb up again.
At night, after Lin Luxian and the others fell asleep together, some black vines firmly sealed the window to prevent the Blue Shura people from entering. There were also some black vines that climbed to the top of the tower and blocked the iron gate on the top of the tower. The rest of the black vines climbed down from the tower wall and climbed to Lin Luxian's side, and they intertwined into a breathable tent, protecting Lin Luxian and the others inside. Xiao sat in this tent and watched it breathtakingly! It seems that these black vines take care of the king of flowers and trees very carefully!
But not long after, the tent that protected Lin Luxian and the others suddenly burst into flames! It turned out that the Lan Shura tribesmen used their knives to split the black vines that blocked the window, and then shot them at the tent made of black vines with fire!
Xiao hurriedly woke everyone up. After waking up, Dianpu hurriedly split the tent with a big sword, and then everyone ran out of the burning tent together. I saw that at this time, the tower was in flames, and almost all the black vines were set on fire, and the Lan Shura people who succeeded immediately flew away! Lan Bingyun looked at the burning black vines around her, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in her heart! She also promised to take these black vines to find a water source, but now, this promise can't be fulfilled!
"These heaven-dampening Blue Shura clans don't even let go of plants!" Dian Pu scolded
When they saw that they couldn't control these black vines, they burned them all with fire, it was too cruel!" Lin Luxian said regretfully
Hey, it's a pity, such a loyal subordinate has not been together for a day, and they have all burned out. Xiao also sighed
"Sister Bingyun, don't be sad, they sacrificed to protect us, and their deaths are worthwhile!" Zhu Xinyan said comforting Lan Bingyun.
When the fire in the tower burned out, all the black vines in the tower were also scorched, and a burnt smell spread in the tower, and Lin Luxian, who was choking, coughed. It took a while for the smell to dissipate. Lin Luxian and the others were also ready to rest again, this time, in addition to the Xiao vigil that did not have to sleep, they also sent two more people to keep vigil. In order to prevent the cunning Blue Shura clan from sneaking up, they could only rest half of them first, half of them kept vigil, and several people took turns to sleep.
The next day, when everyone woke up, they all felt hungry and sleepy, they hadn't eaten for a day, and they hadn't slept well last night, so everyone was not very energetic. But they didn't dare to go back to the forest to replenish food, and they didn't dare to separate, they were afraid that after they got off the tower, they would never be able to go up the tower again!
This time, it was Lan Bingyun who flew up to the top to investigate the situation in the seventh-story tower. Last night's fire had already burned the iron gate on the top red, and after the iron gate cooled down, Lan Bingyun gently pushed it up, and then poked his head up. This time, Lan Bingyun saw something even stranger.
