The sun had completely set, the darkness had fallen, the sharp horns on the little girl's head were shining brighter and brighter, and the green lines spread to all parts of the body like a tree branch, and the earth became soft, and the child's body sank little by little.

Tsunade didn't dare to approach rashly, and slammed his fist on the ground, cracking the ground, only to realize that the twisted roots of the tree had somehow wrapped around the child's feet, pulling her body to sink to the ground.

Reiko shone under his feet, and the ethereal arc light cut off the roots of the tree, and Chiki took the child back and placed it beside Tsunade.

Reaching out to find out about the child's condition, Tsunade looked at the sharp horn in disgust, "This green horn is absorbing the child's life force. ”

"Can it be surgically removed?" Mute worried.

"You can give it a try." The palm lit up with green light, and Tsunade's hand cautiously approached the sharp corner, but he saw that the sharp corner stretched out a small green tentacle, which was actually about to drill into Tsunade's palm.

Tsunade hurriedly withdrew his hand, and the tentacles of the sharp horns grew and wrapped up relentlessly, and finally the sharp horns broke away from the child's forehead and pounced straight on Tsunade.

Mute immediately threw out a thousand copies, and the tiny tentacles that grew from the small horns swung in the air, and they deftly dodged it, like a round dandelion.

Qianshu stretched out his left hand, and the spirit bow appeared, shooting out several spirit arrows, although the power was not as good as the silent Qianben, but it was better in speed and quantity.

The green horn dodged left and right in the air, and finally had to abandon its original goal and fly towards the green trees.

The spirit arrows of the thousand trees were in hot pursuit, and the branches of the large tree writhed, firmly protecting the green horns and blending into the green leaves.

Tsunade's body stiffened, and he looked at the little girl beside him, his mouth wide open, and his eyes were open, but he didn't look good. The muscles are atrophied, the skin is gray and wrinkled, and it is already dead.

Where the sharp corners of his forehead fly out, the gray-black brain can be faintly seen through the hole.

Tsunade bit his pink lower lip and got up and walked to the tree, "I'm going to see what you're capable of today!" ”

The branches of the large tree twisted and wound towards Tsunade.

The spirit son shone under his feet, and the figure of the thousand trees changed one after another in the air, the long knife waved, and the twisted branches broke one after another, stepping on the spirit son, and the thousand trees floated in the air, smiling slightly at Tsunade.

Tsunade's cold expression thawed slightly, and he walked under the cover of a thousand trees, the thickness of which was about the size of three people hugging.

Landing on both feet, Chakra stabilized the ground, hugged the trunk of the tree with his left hand, and held the upper half of the tree with his right hand.

There were constantly branches trying to entangle Tsunade's body, and the blade in Chiki's hand was extremely sharp and impermeable, and the branches fell to the ground one after another.

The tree shook violently, and was uprooted by Tsunade in the stunned gaze of the villagers, and flew out with a kick.

The corners of his mouth twitched while he watched Shizune, and the guinea in his arms twitched, as if he had smelled something.

The roots of the tree lifted off the ground, bringing out a large amount of dirt, forming huge holes, and only the dirt under Tsunade's feet was still standing under the stability of the chakra.

Seeing the scene in the pit, Tsunade's face turned pale, and Chiki, who was originally calm and relaxed, retched even more.

Shizune was puzzled, and stepped forward to take a look, and was immediately annoyed by her actions, and her stomach rolled for a while.

It turned out that there was a deep pit in the pit, and under the light of the hazy moonlight, you could clearly see the corpses of several adults and children piled up together, twisted slender roots growing through their bodies, and more animals were bound by the roots, and their chests and abdomen were slightly undulating, and they were still alive.

The technique of spiritualizing the five senses can clearly see that the little girl's soul is tied to the roots of the tree, and in an instant it dissipates and injects into the animal's body.

Several animals opened their ignorant eyes, broke free from the slender roots, and fled in all directions in a panic.

Referring to the previous statements of the villagers, a terrifying fact was placed in front of everyone.

The tree attracts the animals of the mountains in an unknown way, eats their souls, and leaves their bodies behind.

Later, the horned child is sent to the bottom of the tree, and the life force is absorbed into the small horn, and it returns to the tree, where the soul is dispersed and injected into the animal's body, and the animal gains its soul and begins to move, and finally becomes the prey of the villagers.

In other words, the villagers eat the bodies of animals, but kill the souls of children.

However, since the children are sent to the sacrifice, there is no difference between killing the children directly.

It's just two kills.

"Now, Cangduo," Qianshu looked at the villagers who were shivering on the edge of the pit, "Is it easy to hunt the prey after the sacrifice?" ”

Cangduo didn't know why, but Jingkong was furious, "It's very easy, it's like a fool, and you will run into the village stupidly, but now it's ruined by you!" ”

"Fools?" Qianshu repeated softly, "It's really stupid, for the sake of the life of the whole village, it's not a big deal to sacrifice the child, even if the child's life is taken away by the big tree, and the soul enters the animal, even if the child who thinks he escaped returns home happily, but the family's sticks and butcher's knives are ushered in, it's not a big deal." It's all for the survival of the village, as long as the adults are alive, how many children there are, and the meat is eaten in the stomach, who cares if the soul is a child or not. ”

Cangduo's eyes widened, "You...... What did you say? ”

"I say, the prey you eat is the soul of a child who wants to go home!" Qianshu said coldly.

Tsunade didn't say a word, clenched his fists and walked to the fallen tree.

Ikekong panicked, "In other words, these prey are raised by the big tree, what will happen if the big tree dies?" ”

Shizune looked at the well in disbelief, not daring to imagine that he would ask such a question.

Qianshu's eyes narrowed, "These animals are naturally dead, ask the villagers to take them, and after they are dried, they will still be enough to support you to leave here and find a new place." ”
