084. Tough choices

"Damn, this tree monster is very difficult." Cheng Long saw that his fireball was intercepted, and said unwillingly.

The dryad shuddered as it took on a fireball. After extinguishing the fire, as if he was enraged, the wrist-thick roots pierced the ground, turned into two legs, and actually pulled himself up and walked towards Cheng Long vigorously.

This tree monster was originally seven or eight meters tall, and after having the two legs formed by the roots, it even transcended ten meters and turned into a tall giant, with a fierce momentum.

"Withdraw!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yiming felt that he and Cheng Long alone couldn't defeat the tree monster, and shouted for him to retreat as well, and ran across the road to Xijiang University.

"Give me death!"

However, he didn't expect Cheng Long to just take a few steps back, and sent out a fireball again, flying directly towards the thick waist of the tree monster's bucket from a low altitude.

After a loud explosion, there was a scorched hole with a large head on the waist of the tree monster, which was more than ten centimeters, but for it, it could only be a minor injury. Taking advantage of the time when Cheng Long released the fireball, dozens of chopstick-thick branches were bent into semi-arc-shaped palms and directly grabbed Cheng Long.

Creak, the branches that bound Cheng Long kept ringing, like ropes were tightening, trying to strangle him.

"Confused?"

Seeing such a scene, Jiang Yiming stopped, returned from the asphalt road, and held his long sword to slash at the branch that bound Cheng Long.

The tree monster seemed to have mutated, and the seemingly inconspicuous branches were much tougher than ordinary trees, and only five or six branches were broken with a single sword, which was as difficult to cut as a cowhide rope.

"You go first, leave me alone!"

Cheng Long was tied up tighter and tighter by the tree monster, his face was a little purple, and under the severe pain, the last fireball condensed and guided towards the last wound of the tree monster.

The dryad branched out hundreds of branches with green leaves and stopped in front of the fireball. Detonate the fireball early at the cost of losing ordinary branches, and successfully intercept the fireball that flies towards your wound.

Cheng Long's face was full of disappointment, the fireball just now was his last blow, and if he failed, there was no way to pose a serious threat to the tree monster, which meant that he could only watch the tree monster strangle him to death little by little.

Although the tree monster intercepted Cheng Long's fireball twice in a row, the number of branches lost also reached more than half of the total number of branches on its left, and this rare opportunity was discovered by Jiang Yiming.

Jiang Yiming looked at Cheng Long's appearance, estimated that he could hold on for another ten seconds, and simply gave up cutting the branch that bound Cheng Long, and took advantage of this loophole to fly a fireball into the big hole in the waist of the tree monster.

The explosion widened the wound on the dryad's waist again, and the debris flew wildly, almost hollowing out half of its waist. Injured so badly, the tree monster let go of Cheng Long, and the vacated branches were like whips whipping towards Jiang Yiming.

Ahem, Cheng Long was strangled off a few ribs, lying on the ground in pain and coughing dryly, breathing vigorously. In his current situation, it was unlikely that he would even want to help, and it would be useless to hit the dryad with an iron rod.

Jiang Yiming held the hilt of his sword in both hands and slashed at the incoming branches, cutting off more than a dozen branches in a daze. However, it didn't work, and a large number of branches hit him, and bruised whip marks appeared.

Sensing that cutting branches like this would be useless, Jiang Yiming simply dropped his long sword, blocked his left hand in front of his eyes, rolled directly from the ground, passed through the interception of the tree monster, and came to it. At this time, it is only one or two meters away from the big foot of the tree monster, which is very dangerous.

A fireball flew two meters away, crashing into the gap it had created last time before the dryad could intercept it.

Boom, only a third of the trunk remained, barely supporting the dryad to stand still. However, in its rage, it didn't expect this, and when it launched its huge body to pursue Jiang Yiming, the trunk of the tree broke off and its huge body smashed down.

After the waist was broken, the branches of the dryad did not move, only the two legs spread out again into a line of roots, slowly burrowing into the soil.

Jiang Yiming picked up the long sword that was dropped on the ground, walked over carefully, and stabbed at the root of the tree monster that was still wriggling. The broken roots of the tree remained motionless, like a dead snake, losing the last vitality left.

In accordance with the law, Jiang Yiming cut off all the roots of the tree, and estimated that the tree monster was completely dead at this time. The vitality of plants is very strong, and it is possible to resurrect the remaining root.

Just after breathing a sigh of relief, Jiang Yiming suddenly noticed that the trees in the depths of the woods were moving, which scared him into a cold sweat. A tree monster is so difficult to deal with, and if you come to a piece, it will be just a share.

"Can you get up and walk? There was not just one dryad on this hill, and several more came from behind. Jiang Yiming walked to Cheng Long's side and saw that he was still lying on the ground and did not get up.

Cheng Long stretched out his right hand and said, "Pull me, now my chest hurts so badly that I really can't get up." ”

Before a large number of tree monsters arrived, the two stepped on the asphalt road and returned to the territory of Sogang University. Jiang Yiming turned his head to look back and found that three tree monsters appeared in the place where he had just fought, and secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"You can't go to this hill in the future, if there are not many people." Cheng Long also glanced back and sighed.

……

Back at six o'clock in the evening, Mr. Chen in Chen's Pharmacy was sitting on a chair, his brows furrowed, smoking an old cigarette one by one, as if he had a big decision waiting for him to make, and at the same time he had to bear the consequences.

"Dad, I can't hand over that hundred-year-old ginseng, now my mother is lying on the bed and sleeping, and she drank the medicinal soup made from ginseng, but if you want to cure her illness, this ginseng is not enough, where can I give it to others?"

Chen Jianjun, who was already middle-aged, still had no change in his temper, and said with a resolute face.

"Second brother, what you said is easy, if you refuse, can we still open Chen's Pharmaceutical? This is the health director's request, wanting to buy half a century-old ginseng to treat his son, but not all of them. ”

Brother Chen Aiguo's meaning is obvious, he agrees to this request, after all, the status of the person who opened the mouth is not ordinary, and his own property is completely under the jurisdiction of others, and it is very easy to wear small shoes for you.

None of the female members of the Chen family spoke, no matter what, this decision was for Chen Lao to make.

A few days ago, Chen's pharmacy received a fresh 100-year-old ginseng, and the whole family was very happy at that time, this is a century-old ginseng, and now it is a rare medicine in the society, a good thing that can hang his life, and it is even more remarkable to use it to treat diseases.

Mr. Chen's wife was not in good health, she was infected with an old problem when she went to the countryside, and she suffered from a lack of medical treatment, but she planted a deep root of the disease, and her legs were painful, and it was difficult to sleep every night.

After receiving this century-old ginseng, Chen Lao prescribed a prescription, cut one-tenth of it and put it into the medicine, which really had a miraculous effect. However, such a good thing also attracted the attention of others, and after hearing about it, the director of the health bureau of Baisha City wanted to buy half a ginseng in order to cure his son's illness.

As soon as this incident came, the Chen family was in a predicament, whether they didn't give a single century-old ginseng, and used it all on Chen's wife, or sold half of it to the director of the Health Bureau, so as to build a good relationship?
