Deep in the fog
After Mu Bai and Cao Tieyi entered the mist, the big tree behind them suddenly oozed red blood, and out of the blood came a gorgeous girl with no wisps.
The gorgeous girl looked at the backs of Mu Bai and Cao Tieyi, licked her lips, and with a flick of her fingers, the footprints behind Mu Bai and Cao Tieyi disappeared, and then the girl patted the branches, countless roots crawled all over the ground, and the tall trees on the ground were moving slowly.
After doing this, the girl yawned, burrowed into the bloodstream and disappeared.
After Mu Bai entered the lost forest, he found that the five fingers inside were missing. After wandering in the fog for a long time, Mu Bai stopped, and Cao Tieyi also stopped to look at Mu Bai.
Mu Bai frowned and said, "We seem to have been going around in circles. Cao Tieyi looked at the thick fog around him and said, "It's better to climb to the top of the tree and take a look, maybe you really find the direction." Mu Bai nodded.
Cao Tieyi flew up and climbed a big tree, turned over after a while, shook his head and said, "The fog is too big, even if you climb the tallest tree, it will be foggy as far as the eye can see." ”
Mu Bai watched the sky gradually darken, and said a little anxiously: "The sky is getting darker and darker, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Xiangshi Village before dark." ”
Mu Bai called the terminal a few times in a low voice, and the terminal system woke up slowly, stretched his waist and said, "My dearest host, may I ask if you woke me up to give me a five-star review?" Oh, my God." One thing to tell you first of all is that there are a lot of energy bodies around you, and you can't see anything when you are quietly looking around, in fact you are already surrounded. ”
Mu Bai asked suspiciously: "Have you just woken up?" Will you still sleep?" The terminal system blinked and said: "Since the host hasn't called me for a long time, I entered the hibernation mode to prepare for a vacation for myself, just now I was watching the thirteen thousand twenty-one episodes of "Detective Conan", and the hibernation mode is also to save energy and reduce the burden on the host. ”
Mu Bai rolled his eyes and said, "You just want to be lazy, hurry up and tell me where those energy bodies are." ”
The terminal system said with a smile: "Every tree around the host is a tree, and these trees use tree roots to weave a huge communication network, and some energy bodies are not enough to analyze due to insufficient information. ”
Mu Bai drew his sword and slashed it to the ground, and with a sword light, Mu Bai saw bright red blood flowing from the severed tree roots on the ground, and then there were bursts of women's cries in the misty forest.
Mu Bai said to Cao Tieyi, "These trees are using their roots to transmit information and trap us here. After hearing this, Cao Tieyi swung his knife and slashed wildly at the ground, and as the roots of the tree were cut off, the ground was stained red with blood.
At this moment, the surrounding trees began to flicker with a flickering blue light, and bursts of chanting whispers drifted through the forest, as if calling for something. Suddenly, all the trees suddenly glowed blue, shining into the forest as if it were daytime. There was a rumbling sound on the ground, and a tall tree man broke through the ground.
After the tree man climbed out of the ground, he rushed towards Mu Bai and the others, Mu Bai stabbed the tree man with a sword, and a spark sparked between the staggers, Mu Bai retreated to Cao Tieyi's side and said, "Did you bring a trap net? This guy is the same as the one before, and the sword has pierced countless times." “
Cao Tieyi shook his head and said, "I didn't bring it, should we withdraw first?"
Mu Bai clenched the sword in his hand and said, "We are trapped in the fog now, where can we retreat, maybe we will be chased to death by the entire tree man by then, and we will be exhausted for our lives." ”
Cao Tieyi gritted his teeth and said, "Then the general will wait and rush to the front, and Mr. Mu will look for a chance to see if he can stab his eyes." ”
The terminal system was in Mu Bai's soul sea, holding popcorn in his left hand, and holding Bing Kuoluo in his right hand and said, "Host, last time your sword qi comprehended a trace of vitality qi, I suggest you try your sword qi." Just now, when the system was analyzing, it was found that the tree man and your sword qi have some attributes that are compatible, in short, this thing has become from a part of the dead qi. ”
Mu Bai raised the sword and asked, "Then when you just met that monster, why didn't you say it earlier?"
The terminal system said: "I was just in a dormant state, watching a movie, and I didn't notice what was going on with you. ”
After hearing this, Mu Bai turned his aura far above the blade, and a faint cyan light appeared on the blade. Mu Bai rushed towards the tree man like a light swallow, and after Cao Tieyi saw Mu Bai rushing up, he hurriedly followed.
The tree man roared angrily and pounced on the two of them with a claw, Cao Tieyi held the knife against the claws that pounced, and Mu Bai stabbed at the tree man with a sword, and the blade swept over the tree man, emitting a puff of black smoke.
Mu Bai was overjoyed when he saw this, and stabbed his sword at the treeman's eyes, the treeman raised his claws to block, and bursts of black smoke came out between the sword claws, Mu Bai stabbed it hard against his claws, and there was a click, the bark was broken, and blood oozed out of the cracked bark.
An unidentified chant came out of the treeman's mouth, and the trees in the entire forest made a strange noise, and countless roots stretched out to the treeman from all directions, and the wounds on the treeman quickly healed.
Mu Bai yelled at Cao Tieyi: "Hurry up and destroy the tree roots, they are healing the tree man!" Cao Tieyi swung his knife and slashed at the tree roots on the ground, while Mu Bai dragged the tree man, and bursts of black smoke came out of the tree man.
All the trees in the forest let out a burst of screaming sounds, and Mu Bai and Cao Tieyi's eardrums were in severe pain, and the two hurriedly covered their ears, and the tree man took the opportunity to escape and burrow into the ground.
After the screaming stopped, a dozen treemen appeared in the woods, and the treemen let out an inexplicable roar, and the blue light in the trees flashed rapidly, and with a roar, the treemen rushed up.
The terminal system said: "Host, there are too many enemies, it is advisable to retreat." ”
Mu Bai asked, "Can you find your way?"
The terminal system spread its hands and said, "No, host. The surrounding energy bodies are interfering with my detection, so that the current energy of the terminal system is not enough to get rid of the interference. In short, you're too weak. ”
Mu Bai replied: "Please omit the latter sentence, thank you." Is there any other way?"
The terminal system lowered its head to calculate the data, and said after a while: "Yes, yes, with the current energy of the terminal system, it can simulate less than one-tenth of the sword intent that your master Lu Jiu taught you, and according to the energy calculation, all the tree people can be seriously injured." However, the system itself also has to bear the pressure of the sword qi, and with the loss of most of the energy, the system will start to sleep and restart the system after an hour, considering the load value, it will take three months for the sword qi to be used again. ”
Mu Bai asked, "Can't you use your current energy a few more times?"
The terminal system blushed and said, "Uh、、、 could have been used twice, but some of the energy of the terminal system was used by me for some entertainment activities. ”
Mu Bai roared, "What did you do with your energy!"
The terminal system secretly stretched out its paws and handed Mu Bai an interface, only to see that the interface displayed "Animal World", "Selection and Breeding of Female Cats", and "Detective Conan".
Mu Bai yelled, "What kind of mess is this, what are you doing with all your precious energy!?"
The terminal system said embarrassedly: "I heard that leaving the city is your own sphere of influence, so I relaxed a little. Hey, hey, hey. ”
Mu Bai couldn't wait to strangle the terminal system, and said hatefully: "Hurry up and get rid of these tree people first." ”
As soon as the words fell, a sword qi rushed out from Mu Bai's chest, and the sword qi roared out, and all the tree people in the place they passed were torn apart by the sword qi, and fell to the ground with a crackling sound. The trees in the forest were cut off by the sword qi, and the forest was quiet for a while.
Cao Tieyi, who was just about to fight hard, saw the sword qi and said dumbfounded: "It is worthy of being a disciple of the three families, Mr. Mu's sword qi is unparalleled." ”
Mu Bai said: "It's just some life-saving means given to me by the master." ”
After being seriously injured by the sword qi, the tree people burrowed into the ground and disappeared, and after the trees were cut off, the roots of the trees also stopped growing.
A somewhat weak voice sounded in the terminal system: "Host, the interference energy is gone, the system can detect the direction of the forest, and the preliminary budget is to get out of this misty forest before the system goes into hibernation." ”
Under the guidance of the system, Mu Bai and the others finally walked out of the misty forest, and a bright moon appeared above Mu Bai's head, and in front of them was a quaint stone tablet with the words "Xiangshi Village" written on it, but the stone tablet was full of tree roots.
