Ban Hu and Duo Qian came to a mill in the dark forest, and found a terrifying dried baby hanging on the roof of the mill!

This inevitably condemned the Dark Lord. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Eagle's Nest guards immediately dispersed to keep on guard, Xiao Yi and Xiao Luo stood guard at the door of the mill, while Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang turned into bears and continued to patrol the perimeter.

Ban Hu, Duo Qian, and Xia Mei pinched their noses and went into the mill. Natsumi approached the dried baby corpse on the roof, looked at it carefully for a while, and said; "It's not an elf baby, it's a vampire dwarf, it's a ghost crying baby!"

Walking through the aisle of the roof covered with ghostly babies, they saw a large, abandoned millstone. Behind the mill disc are several large iron transmission gears, connected to the windmill behind the mill; But the windmill was already in ruins, and the gears were rusty.

On the millstone is a huge bat carcass unfolded on its back. The corpse's chest and abdomen had been dissected, and the disgusting entrails were all exposed, which had also been air-dried.

Ban Hu suddenly discovered that there was a blue heart in the chest cavity of the bat, which only humans can have! The heart is wrapped with a lot of silk, and it seems that it is still beating!

The left wall of the millstone is covered with silk of different colors and thicknesses; On the right wall are a number of medical trays, in which various medical instruments are placed in an orderly manner.

"It seems that the rumors of the Dark Lord colluding with the evil witch doctor are true!" Duo Qian said, "We must be more careful! ”

As soon as he had said this, a gust of wind ran down the window behind the mill through the aisle, and the whole mill let out a chilling whine, like a ghost crying. The wooden door of the mill creaked, and Duoqian clinged closely behind Ban Hu, her little hands tightly tugging at the corners of Ban Hu's clothes.

Ban Hu, who was holding an ebony staff, also felt a strange feeling. The whole air was filled with suffocating fear.

"Ahh

"Oops! I said, princess, you want to scare us to death! Ban Hu felt that his spine was already oozing with cold sweat!

"Look, under the mill, there's a mouse!"

Ban Hu almost fainted......

"If you are not afraid of ghosts and scary people, you are afraid of people and scary people!" Natsumi, who was also taken aback, said, "Let's get out of here quickly!" ”

"That's right! Right! Right! …… There's nothing to see anymore! Let's go! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Duo Qian rushed out, and then Ban Hu heard a burst of vomiting outside the mill.

Ban Hu and Xia Mei also hurriedly retreated.

The previously clear sky outside the mill had also become cloudy. It's going to rain soon.

They had to find another mill to shelter from the rain, and they found that the dozens of mills along the river were the same as the mill just now, which was a long-abandoned operating room!

"What happened here, and it took so many operating rooms to save people?" Natsumi asked puzzled.

"I don't think I'm saving people, I'm more like I'm creating some kind of monster!" Banhu analysis.

At this time, Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei returned, and they brought even more terrible news - less than a mile to the east, there was a small lake, and there were many unknown corpses floating on the lake!

A light rain is falling! The crowd would rather get drenched than go into the mill to take shelter from the rain. Everyone walked silently towards the lake.

Xia Mei's eyes had turned red, and Duo Qian could only comfort her softly, after all, the territory of her family had become a hell on earth.

In the rain, the surface of the lake reflected the gray sky like a mirror, but the mirror was covered with dense black dots - it was the corpses one by one!

A bloodstained path leads directly to the right bank of the lake, and the limbs of unidentified creatures are scattered on the side of the road, which is shocking!

There were several stone tables made of marble bars around the small lake, each with wooden stakes around it and fastened with chains and shackles. Also on the stone table were bloodstained remnants of unidentified creatures, which had become stinking and black, making people vomit.

Approaching the lake, swollen corpses floated in the lake, like balloons that had been blown up and could explode at any moment. All the bodies had their limbs cut off.

"Are these elves the elves?" Walking in the front, Ban Hu asked.

"It's hard to tell, all spirit beasts that become elves are in human form after death, so it's hard to tell which kind of elf it is." Duo Qian replied while carefully observing the corpses, as if she had seen some clues.

"It's all bat spirits!" Duo Qian asserted, "This is not far from the Bat Spirit Cave, and it seems that there is an adversary who is mutilating these poor Bat Spirits!" ”

"Who the hell is it?" Natsumi asked resentfully.

"It's hard for me to judge, but the Dark Lord and the Witch Doctor are inseparable!"

On the left bank of the lake is a high mountain cliff with a black hole, which is the source of the river and the only source of water for the lake.

"Maybe we should go in and have a look!" Natsumi suggested, "No matter what, I want to find out the murderer and avenge my people!" ”

"So, let's bury the victims first, and then think about going into the hole!" Ban Hu said that at this time, the sky was still full of clouds.

"Yes, then let's get to work immediately!" Duo Qian hopes that burying these poor people well can alleviate the pain in Xia Mei's heart.

Everyone began to think of fishing up the corpses in the lake, so that after Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei turned into bears, they could enter the lake to swim and drag the corpses to the shore. Duoqian and Xia Mei tried their best to tidy up the clothes on the corpse, and Xiaoluo and Xiaoyi went around to find some stumps of the corpse and tried to put the corpse together as much as possible. The remaining Eagle's Nest warriors hurriedly cleared out a cemetery in a dry place by the lake......

Ban Hu, of course, was not idle, he went to some groves near the lake and sharpened some sticks with verdant leaves. Because Duoqian told him about the custom here - sticking branches with leaves on the graves of the deceased means eternal life for their souls!

With so many branches needed, Banhu had to continue to go deep into the woods alone. The leaves of oak and birch trees are very dense, although they appear to be young, and since the city of elves has a season every three years, the trees here grow extremely thick. Although it was the second year of spring, the trees were still filled with a biting chill.

Banhu tied the cut leafy branches into several bundles and placed them under a black locust tree, the black locust flowers have begun to show white bones, and the fragrance of the locust flowers is refreshing. The ebony staff that was stuck in the back of the Banhu seemed to be enjoying it, and the young leaves that came out swayed softly. Banhu walked along an alluvial valley, hoping to find more lush branches, but after walking more than 100 zhang, there were no very good branches available, because the locust trees were the majority, and the branches of the locust trees grew too abruptly.

Suddenly, Ban Hu felt the ebony staff behind him tremble, and he hurriedly held the ebony staff in his hand. The shoots on the ebony staff swayed in the direction of the deeper part of the valley, as if something was there there.

So Ban Hu held the ebony staff in his hand and continuously injected his mana into the Dao staff. The shoots immediately shone brightly, illuminating the gloomy woods as if they were day.

The end of the valley was pitch black, but as if in response, there was a flash of red light at the end of the valley.

"What is it? But the ebony cane does not indicate danger! Ban Hu decided to go to the end of the valley to have a look.

When he walked out of the valley, he was stunned by the scene in front of him! - It's a rare forest of soul trees!

When he was studying art in Tianmen Mountain, Master Xiao Zhenzi once mentioned the Soul Fixing Tree, a kind of immortal tree that can transfer and store souls. On the gate of Tianmen Mountain, there is a lifelike portrait of the soul tree, which is exactly the same as the tree in front of you!

The trunk is as white as jade, and the red is as red as blood, and the leaves are like maple leaves. Each leaf has a pattern of a cute baby-like smiling face. The whole forest emits a reddish, misty glow, as if you are in a dream!

The staff in Ban Hu's hand was surprisingly "excited", and the red leaves of the Soul Tree were also like meeting an old friend, and they were regularly displayed in the wind!

"What the hell is going on? Unfortunately, his ebony staff can't speak, and if he did, he would tell me what was going on. ”

Suddenly, many branches with leaves fell to the ground.

Banhu immediately understood that they wanted to stick these branches into the graves of those poor elves!

"Maybe these soul-fixing branches can really settle the souls of these elves who have been brutally killed." Ban Hu pondered.

So, Ban Hu tied up all the soul-fixing branches on the ground and carried them to the cemetery with difficulty.

The Eagle's Nest Warrior quickly inserted these soul-fixing branches into the bat spirit's grave.

……

"Soul Tree!" When Duoqian and Natsumi saw the branches on the grave, they exclaimed in surprise.

Except for Ban Hu, everyone else was taken aback!

"Quick! Banhu, lead us to have a look! Duo Qian said eagerly, and Xia Mei even burst into tears. So Ban Hu led Duoqian and Xia Mei, who were excited, to return the same way again, and after passing through the alluvial valley, they returned to the place where the Soul Tree was located.

But seeing the scene in front of him, Ban Hu was dumbfounded......

It's just a barren meadow......

"The Ancient Soul Tree actually appeared here!" Natsumi said in surprise, "But why did you leave in a hurry?" ”

"Maybe they don't want to see our elven descendants at all!"

Duoqian's face was full of disappointment.

"A walking tree?" Ban Hu looked surprised.

Natsumi smiled slightly, "They don't just go, they are still the forest guardians of the Elven City!" I said Banhu, you are so lucky to be able to get their help, it seems that you are the savior of this world! ”

"Hehe, Sister Natsumi, don't be kidding, I'm not an elf at all, how can I be the savior of the elf world?"

"Who says it's the elves who have to save the world? Hey, don't you know, this world is descending towards the human continent step by step! Although it was slow, the people of the elven world didn't feel it! But the rate of decline will be faster and faster! ”

"We suspect that the Dark Lord has sent many of the flying crystals that support this world to the human world, but unfortunately we have no proof. And these Soul Trees clearly feel that you are a valuable helper to help us avoid destruction, otherwise they would not have died easily! Duo Qian added.

"Anyway, we're going to keep going! Maybe we can find out the truth......"

Before Ban Hu's words were finished, the sound of the screw horn sounded.

"It's the warning sound of the snail by the lake!" Ban Hu hurriedly said, "Go back quickly!" ”

After speaking, Ban Hu rushed to the front, followed by Duoqian and Xia Mei.

As soon as they broke out of the valley, the sound of the horn turned into a loud rumbling sound. Ban Hu, Duoqian, and Xia Mei desperately rushed back to the lake. At this time, the lake was surrounded by clouds and mist, and Ban Hu could not see the specific location of the small snail until he heard a loud noise again. The sound came from the entrance of the cave on the north side of the lake, and Ban Hu looked at the cave and saw a huge conch "flying"! At this moment, a black object also appeared under the small snail - it was the little one who had transformed into an ant - and was moving quickly with the small snail in search of a better attack position!

However, the target of the attack was still in the fog, unable to see the true face. But seeing that Xiaoluo and Xiaoyi had to transform and barely control the situation by cooperating with each other, Ban Hu could judge that the opponent was not ordinarily powerful. So, Ban Hu held the ebony staff in his hand and decided to reinforce it, but Ban Hu felt that the ebony staff seemed to tremble.

At this time, Duo Qian patted Ban Hu lightly and said softly: "Let Xiao Luo and Xiao Yi stop attacking!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you think there's something following us along the way? As soon as the Soul Tree appeared, he jumped out! Maybe he wasn't hostile, otherwise he would have done it a long time ago!

Ban Hu thought about it, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Luo to stop attacking. ”

The fog on the surface of the lake gradually lifted, and all the people stopped there, and a huge tangled vine tree root floated on the surface of the lake!

The ebony staff in Ban Hu's hand was still trembling, but he struggled to break free of Ban Hu's hand and flew towards the vine wood. The whisker-like roots of the vine tree were also fluttering, as if welcoming the approach of the staff.

"It's a pity that none of us can communicate with these plants!" Duo Qian sighed.

"If only this were with us, because we have psychic mages on earth!" Ban Hu said.

Suddenly, the vine roots seemed to start going crazy, and it seemed that his ebony staff had communicated with him.

The roots of the vine tree suddenly spread and grew in all directions, covering almost the entire surface of the lake, and enveloping Ban Hu and his party inside.

Suddenly, they found that they were surrounded! At some point, the area around Fujikigen was already covered with a group of zombies - the dried corpses found in the mill!

As soon as the roots of the vine tree touch the shore of the lake, they grow vertically, forming a root fence to keep the zombies out.

"This strange root actually wants to help us!" Natsumi shouted, "We blamed him!" ”

But the zombies had already rushed over, their dry fingers as sharp as freshly sharpened knives, and constantly stabbing at the root of the hedge, which soon became overwhelmed by the zombies.

Just as Ban Hu and his party were about to help, a group of black bats suddenly appeared in the sky, roaring towards these zombies. The bat's giant claws crush the zombie's head, and some bats have no lower limbs, so they use their sharp teeth to bite the zombie. The zombies fled in all directions in fear, letting out desperate, miserable roars.

Ban Hu suddenly discovered that there was a soul-fixing branch stuck behind the backs of these bats! And in the distance, there are already big craters in the cemetery! -- The bat spirits that had died in the lake and had been buried by them had come out of their graves again!

The vine roots quickly withdrew their branches and began to approach the hole by the lake. Ban Hu's ebony staff also suddenly followed.

Just as the roots of the vine tree were about to reach the entrance of the cave, the surrounding area of the cave suddenly burst into white light! - A crystal door engraved with runes suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave!

"The Gate of Creation! Rush over! Come along, everyone! Duo Qian shouted......
