Chapter 700: The Tree of Illusions

In order not to make the crazy old man disgusted with himself, the scorpion accepted the butterfly who obviously didn't save zĂ i and still kept zĂ i, and the two of them lived a life of three people every day. The crazy old man's life is simple and regular, except for growing cabbage, he goes out to hunt some game, picks some wild vegetables to cook, and then cleans his and Fluttershy's cabin spotlessly.

In order to be close to the crazy old man, the scorpion had to use Die'er as an excuse, saying that Die'er was willing to accept her as an apprentice and let her grow cabbage together, in order to make it more realistic, the scorpion also learned to talk to the air and Die'er often like the crazy old man, of course, no one answered the questions asked, but the crazy old man always interjected a sentence or two in the middle as if he could hear the answer, for example, the child Scorpion is already very attentive, you don't blame her anymore; For example, if you have a better tone with the scorpion, it is not right to teach children like this, etc., the scorpion sometimes feels creepy, and the wind is gusting, and even sometimes you think that it will be the soul of the butterfly following the crazy old man, you can't see it, but the crazy old man can see it.

Since Die'er accepted the scorpion as an apprentice, the scorpion can naturally eat and drink at the crazy old man's place with a cheeky skin, and of course, in return, the scorpion will also help him take care of the cabbage. The crazy old man's cooking skills are really first-class, those mountain game cooked by his hands, especially delicious, every day they are a table, three chairs, three pairs of chopsticks, two people. The crazy old man kept putting Butterfly in the bowl, which was said to be Butterfly's favorite food, and then after eating, complained that Butterfly always refused to eat more, saying that Butterfly was too thin or something like that, and then poured out all the food in the bowl.

Every day. The crazy old man will take out the futon where the butterfly sleeps and let the sun shine. Then it was noon to make the bed. Let Die'er take a nap, and also make a posture to help Die'er cover the quilt, at this time the scorpion always sits in the courtyard with her head tilted, looking at the careful movements of the crazy old man, she sometimes thinks that the crazy old man took care of Die'er in this way! That's why Die'er has to wait for him, and has always used the 'rootless flower' as a guide, hoping that he can come back as soon as possible, and that he won't get lost and find a home.

The days went by day by day. The scorpion and the crazy old man are getting more and more acquainted, and they are getting more and more used to this strange three-person life, but she has never had a chance to mention the 'rootless flower'. After seven days like this, where nothing but Chinese cabbage was cabbage, the scorpion finally began to get upset, and she decided to go into the forest to look for the so-called cave.

Marks were made along the road, and the scorpion heart said that as long as the marks were made, there should be no problem returning along the road. Along the way, I didn't see anything unusual. Apart from the identical trees, I didn't see any other plants or animals. The scorpion was still wondering. Where did the mad old man hunt the game he brought back every day, and where did he pick the mushrooms that made the soup?

Unconsciously, the scorpion walked to the depths of the forest, looked back, and found that the path that had been walking was suddenly gone, the scorpion's pupils suddenly shrank, and he muttered in his heart: "You won't meet that moving tree again, will you?" It's not that Qingtong Mountain is the only place in the Eastern Wilderness that grows plants on their own, does the plants that grow on their own still have such functions? Full of doubts, the scorpion took out the Rowan disk to check, only to see that the pointer on the Rowan disk kept rotating and couldn't stop, but there was no red light showing, the scorpion was puzzled, and said to himself: "Is there really no danger?" But what's the pointer all about? ”

Just when the scorpion was puzzled, bang-the Luo Wen plate, which the scorpion thought was extremely hard, split a hole in the middle and instantly turned into two halves, feeling that something was wrong, the scorpion hurriedly threw away the broken and useless Luo Wen plate, pulled out the Qinglong Sword and held it in his hand, and looked around vigilantly, so that the scorpion did not expect that the surrounding trees did not move at all, just like a breeze, making a normal rustling sound. Could it be that I am too sensitive? But Luo Wenpan has obviously been broken

The scorpion decided, regardless of whether it was strange or not, or turn back as soon as possible, although the scenery has changed, but the general direction of the scorpion still recognizes, the heart said, as long as you walk through this maze of the forest, see the mark you made, you can go back the same way, but the scorpion seems to think of this forest is too simple, step by step, there is actually a feeling of going downhill under the feet, but look down, and then poke the ground with the green dragon sword, it is a normal flat ground, and there is no abnormality.

The scorpion continued to walk forward with a worried heart, and at the same time released its spiritual power, observing the changes around him, and there was still nothing unusual, as if he was just walking in the forest, but the feeling under his feet was becoming more and more unusual, and his heart was becoming more and more worried.

Just when the scorpion was about to stop and walk in a different direction, a white shadow flashed, and then he saw the white shadow in the sky above the forest, shuttling quickly, and at the same time waving his long sword, cutting down those trees, pieces of green leaves fell suddenly, and large and small severed limbs also fell to the ground instantly, and the white figure stretched out a hand above the scorpion, and shouted at the scorpion: "Come up!" ”

Seeing the person coming clearly, the scorpion was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "Lu Tianyuan? At the same time, the scorpion was even more surprised that he was actually in a large pit three meters deep, and the soil around him began to collapse, as if he wanted to bury himself alive, without hesitation, he handed his hand to Lu Tianyuan, and with the help of Lu Tianyuan's power, he flew into the air, looked down, and was frightened, and the big pit was filled with soil in an instant.

Falling back to the ground, the scorpion looked at Lu Tianyuan with palpitations, his eyes were full of doubts, waiting for Lu Tianyuan to explain to himself what was going on, but he didn't expect that Lu Tianyuan was not in a hurry to explain anything to himself, but turned to a reproachful tone, held his shoulder, and said angrily: "Who asked you to come to Bronze Mountain, do you know how dangerous this mountain is?" ”

The scorpion had never seen Lu Tianyuan's unsteady and nervous expression, as if an extremely precious thing had almost disappeared. The scorpion was stunned, not knowing how to answer his question, his mind turned, and he asked puzzledly, "How do you know that I am in Bronze Mountain?" After asking this, the scorpion couldn't say any more, because she saw the tears flashing in Lu Tianyuan's eyes, is this still the gloomy Lu Tianyuan she knew, who has the same poker face and is not shocked when she encounters anything?

Without waiting for the scorpion to confirm, Lu Tianyuan hugged the scorpion into his arms, the strength was surprisingly great, as if he wanted to rub the scorpion into his body, and muttered in his mouth: "Fortunately, Yun Ling told me that you are in Bronze Mountain, fortunately I was in time, fortunately I was still in time, fortunately!" ”

According to the normal situation, the scorpion should push him away, and then use a few innocuous words to bring this embarrassing atmosphere over, but feeling his slightly trembling body, the scorpion couldn't bear to push him away, let him hold him, and let him whisper in his ear.

After Lu Tianyuan's feelings calmed down, the scorpion realized that he had accidentally entered the forest of illusion trees, these trees themselves are not lethal, but they will secrete a colorless and odorless substance, mixed in the air, making people hallucinate, and at the same time, their roots have the ability to manipulate the soil, and can introduce people into the pit dug with roots in advance without a trace of murderous aura, and then activate all the soil, in an instant, before people can react, they will quietly bury people alive and become their fertilizer, Nourish their land. Also, the hallucinogenic air that I just inhaled was mixed with something that inhibited the exertion of energy, making it impossible for me to use energy for a short period of time and get out of the pit.

The scorpion then tried to run the energy in his body, and found that sure enough, there was a faint pain in his heart, and his whole body was like eating cartilage, and he couldn't lift up a little strength, just like the body of Lan Qi'er before he was cured.

The scorpion couldn't help but widen his eyes, with fear in his eyes, and looked at Lu Tianyuan with incredulity.

Lu Tianyuan sighed lightly, looked at the scorpion and smiled, and said: "This Bronze Mountain is a famous demon mountain in the Eastern Wilderness, but anyone with some common sense knows that the Bronze Mountain cannot be entered. It's a pity that you, a person who doesn't know anything about plants, met Yun Ling, who was also an idiot, and Yun Ling thought that Bronze Mountain was a good place, and came to ask me if she could allow her to come to Bronze Three to find you."

"It's all hallucinations!" Before Lu Tianyuan's words were finished, the scorpion interrupted in a muttered voice, then turned around and walked towards the road behind him.

"Where are you going?" Lu Tianyuan asked uneasily.

"Since it's an illusion, then I have to get back the Rowan disk I threw away, that thing needs a lot of gold and silver stones to refine, it's very expensive!" The scorpion only reacted at this time, and there was a life-saving benefactor behind him, and he turned his head and said confidently.

Lu Tianyuan couldn't help but have black lines on his head, and said helplessly: "Jinshi Yinshi, I have it, I will compensate you for how much you want, don't go back, the forest is very dangerous!" ”

"Then you can pay a rowan plate!" The scorpion stretched out his hand, tilted his head and rushed to Lu Tianyuan.

Lu Tianyuan was speechless for a moment, that Luo Wenpan, he had never seen it in the entire Eastern Wilderness, and he didn't know where to find a talent who could refine this thing, and besides, there were cultivators everywhere in the Eastern Wilderness, but refiners were really rare, even if there was a three-legged cat's kung fu, how could he refine such an advanced compass! In desperation, Lu Tianyuan had no choice but to accompany the scorpion to the depths of the forest and accompany her to find the Luo Wenpan.

Finally, after walking for nearly a stick of incense, the scorpion found the Luo Wen Pan that was discarded by himself and was intact, at this time, the pointer of the Luo Wen Pan was steadily pointing to the direction of the south, and the scorpion put the Luo Wen Pan into the Jiulong Bead Pot, and looked up at Lu Tianyuan behind him and said, "Let's go!"
