211, Duan Cheng's purpose (2)
The purpose of the 211 paragraph (2)
Lin Haoran and I stood at the front, Xiao Wan and Kong Jiahang stood behind us respectively, Li Jianfei and Chen Peng stood on our left and right, each holding the weapon of crossing the soul, Lin Haoran and I put the two swords in our hands together, only to listen to Lin Haoran's order to "attack", and we swung out a powerful ** soul extinguishing array together.
I saw that the shield in front of me was attacking in this powerful attack, and there was a loud noise, and a cloud of black and purple smoke flew up from the shield, and it was accompanied by a very unpleasant stench, I immediately pushed them back quickly, and covered my mouth and nose with my hand, this gas is not poisonous.
When we retreated, I saw that the smoke rising from the shield was very large, very thick, and I knew that there must be a lot of unjust souls here, and there were also many resentful spirits, so we withdrew from a distance of more than 30 meters, and quietly looked at the tree, as the black and purple smoke turned from thick to light, we also clearly saw the changes of the locust tree.
It was no longer as tall as we had just seen, and its trunk began to droop slowly, and the leaves began to turn yellow and fall, sometimes accompanied by a muffled sound of the corpses of the trees falling to the ground.
At this time, the mentor and Duan Cheng also walked over, Duan Cheng glanced at us, didn't speak, turned his head to look at the locust tree, didn't know what he was thinking.
The mentor came over and took out six masks from our backpacks, and we put them all on, when the mentor whispered in my ear, "Xiao Xue'er, be careful of Duan Cheng." β
I glanced at him, nodded, and didn't say anything, in fact, I don't trust him much now, these two people have secrets, and they can't tell us secrets, this is the estrangement.
The locust tree ends up in our gaze. Eventually, it withered into a dead tree, and my nervousness was raised again.
The six of us leaned over to each other and leaned towards it step by step, Xiao Wan picked up the solid fuel that had fallen on the ground and put it back in his hands.
Approaching again, I felt less disgusting, but more terrifying. The ground was full of corpses that had fallen from trees. Some of them were all shriveled and only a piece of skin remained, and some of them still had flesh, but they fell from above. The flesh that had been thrown was blurred, and there were some broken limbs scattered around, but none of them were fresh, and the corpses on the ground were a little black. I guess it's the result of too many years.
Xiao Wan and Li Jianfei both endured it, reacting to these disgusting things and still smelling bad. He walked up to the tree with the solid fuel, threw it at the tree, and finally took a few steps back and threw a windproof lighter.
Just listen to a muffled "poof". The locust tree, laden with resentment and corpses, had ignited a majestic fire under the effect of fuel, and I would have liked to stand there and watch it end. However, he was still pulled back by Lin Haoran and Kong Jiahang, and took more than a dozen steps back.
But even standing here, I can still feel the heat of the fire. And as the fire increased, the trunk of the tree also made a "crackling" crisp sound, and with the sound, several black-purple smoke flew out of the tree one after another.
Li Jianfei took out a plastic bottle from his backpack at this time, raised his hand to us, I don't know what it was, looked at him inquiringly, he pointed to the bottle and raised his eyebrows and said, "Alcohol." β
When I asked him what he was going to do, he pointed to the corpses and said, "Burn them clean." β
I thought about it, how long have those corpses been trapped by this tree, whether they can really be sent away, it's really hard to say, now that this tree has been destroyed by us, and now we have burned them, it can be regarded as doing something for them.
After the alcohol was spilled, the fire grew louder again, and the air became more choking, and we all coughed a few times when we were choked, and then we collectively stepped back to find a shelter from the wind.
The fire burned for half an hour, and finally when all the qi Δ was turned into ashes, the place was quiet, at this time the sky was completely dark, the sky was dotted with stars, I couldn't see clearly, it may have just burned this fire, the air had a large amount of smoke and dust, and I couldn't see the sky clearly, and the moon was not round tonight, and the light was not bright, and suddenly this place was a little gloomy.
Lin Haoran asked everyone to take out the flashlight, and after a while, it lit up again, although it was not as good as daytime, but it was much stronger than just now, and then Xiao Wan asked: "Shall we go now, or wait until dawn tomorrow?" β
Lin Haoran glanced at him, stretched out his hand and knocked on his head and said, "Haven't you recovered yet?" You can't stay here for long, and you destroyed this tree just to get out of here quickly. β
Xiao Wan shrank his head, looked at Lin Haoran and whispered, "I'm just asking." β
Kong Jiahang immediately hugged Xiao Wan and said, "Wan Wan, I beg you, don't scare me anymore, okay?" β
Xiao Wan looked at Kong Jiahang and didn't speak, but there was emotion in his eyes, and I smiled with relief (but now that everyone is wearing masks, they may not have noticed).
Chen Peng squatted in front of us, pulled his mask and said mysteriously: "Brother, that Duan Cheng and the mentor just now don't know what they were discussing, you had better be careful, don't make any more moths, this person is not easy to deal with." β
I couldn't help frowning, nodded silently, and Chen Peng retreated to Li Jianfei's side and continued to help him pack up his equipment.
It seems that the road ahead will not be too calm, Duan Cheng's purpose, I know, what about the mentor's, what is his purpose, is it really just for Xia Yan?
My heart pumped, I really don't know what we have to face, I turned around at these people present, these people are my brothers, they are the closest people in my life, and they are involved in this because of me, I don't know life and death, if they really have a problem, how can I feel at ease?
In the end, I decided that no matter how difficult the road was, I must take them out one by one, safely.
Duan Cheng walked over and said, "If you want to go, hurry up, if you can find the magic eye before dawn tomorrow, it may be more useful." β
I turned my head to look at him, Duan Cheng who didn't wear a hood could be said to be handsome, but his thoughts were so dark that I couldn't compliment Cheng DΓΉ, so he was just a bastard in my eyes now, I knew what he was anxious about, not only for Xia Yan, but also for another purpose he didn't want to say, but I knew - the real soul seeking array.
I took a deep breath, nodded to everyone, and walked past the tree together in the same battle formation, and after the tree, the scene in front of us was different again.
A small wooden house, located among a dozen locust trees, this house is very classical, with a fence, a "human" ridge, two windows, a door, a wooden bridge straight to the door, there is no river here, but it feels like it is used to cross the river.
Then the lamp in the house came on, very bright, yellow color, and it felt very warm, and then I saw green smoke rising from the chimney of the house, and if it weren't for the different places where we were, we would really think that it was a farmhouse making dinner. (To be continued.) )
