‘……’

'A trace of dreamy wind and rain, the road follows the people......

The music is melodious and the singing is pleasant......

Bursts of crying, dream-like beautiful singing flowed among the pavilions and pavilions by the lake in the middle of the night.

The melodious and heavenly little song of that beautiful voice finally came to a halt with the plucking of the piano notes...... However, the melodious female voice and the sound of the piano still echoed back and forth between the dilapidated and deep buildings of Lanruo Temple, and it did not stop for a long time in the dead of night.

“……”

After a long time, about half an hour.

When she had just finished singing a small song, Nie Xiaoqian, who was a little self-pitying, sat silently, and before she had time to get up to say goodbye, or to persuade the little girl to leave early, something happened suddenly!

"Ahh

Because, Nie Xiaoqian was shocked to see: their tree demon grandma, this time I don't know why, she didn't act according to the rules they had set in the past, but instead blatantly killed her regardless of it?

When the other party was singing to attract the attention of the little girl, he suddenly jumped up from under the ground with a few tentacles like a giant python, and slammed towards the little girl who was still sitting on the crossbar with the big red lantern, and stabbed towards the back of the little figure who seemed to be unprepared?!

Zheng ing~!

Discovering this unexpected situation, although I don't know why their grandmother didn't follow the rules to ingest the essence blood of the living this time, but when she saw that the little girl was unaware and was about to die under the clutches of the tree demon grandma, Nie Xiaoqian felt a little unbearable, so she used a slight force on her fingers, and instantly tore off one of the strings of the paulownia lyre in front of her, making it let out a piercing breaking and sad sound.

Nie Xiaoqian obviously didn't dare to disobey their tree demon grandma, and she didn't dare to help the little girl who made her have some good feelings for herself, after all, they just met in Pingshui...... So, she really couldn't do anything but pretend to accidentally tear the strings and make a strange noise, hoping to remind the little girl who was sitting on top and holding the puppet and listening to her song with her chin propped up.

Burst!!

The movement of the tentacles of the tree roots was very fast, even if Nie Xiaoqian had reminded them in time, but those roots like giant pythons still took advantage of the little girl's other movements, and quickly and ferociously twisted towards the small figure, and when they hit and wrapped around the other party's back, they also made a slight muffled sound.

However, in the next second, something happened that made Xiao Qian feel even more shocked:

The roots of the tree demon grandmother seemed to have been tightly wrapped around the little girl's body, but at this time, they were blocked by a layer of red transparent formation-like barrier?

Just that layer of seemingly fragile red light, so that the extremely powerful Dryad Grandma could only continue to entangle and strangle with the roots in vain, but even if the root tentacles made a 'crunch' sound due to excessive force, they couldn't help that barrier in the slightest?

"Aha!"

♪（＾∀＾●）ﾉｼ

"You can't catch me like that! That one...... Would you like to come and play with fire with my bears? It's really super fun!! ”

ψ(⃔*`꒳´*)⃕↝

Did you find that the big tree man was trying to sneak up on him with the skill of 'Entangled Roots', and was still trying to tie himself up?

So Anne stood up from the stake with a smile, and then carried her bear Tiebs in one hand, and while smiling in the other, she didn't wait for the tree man to answer or react in any other way, but stretched out one of her little white fingers and slowly put her fingertips on the barrier of the lava shield in front of her!

The next moment!

Ripples rippled over the transparent red shield......

Then, the red shield, which was originally only translucent and looked harmless to humans and animals, but was only abnormally strong, suddenly burst into flames! Even, it began to flicker violently with layers of molten flame energy like molten melt?!

Then, as a matter of course, the roots of a certain dryad grandmother, who was dying and tightly wrapped around the shield, were instantly ignited and burned by the raging flame energy on the lava shield!

“！！”

'Woo woo ~ hiss ~ !! ’

The sudden change made those few roots feel like they were holding a reddening iron, and they had to be instantly loosened from the previous state of tightly wrapping around and trying to break the shield!

But......

With the tendrils already ignited by the fire of magical energy, it doesn't matter if they dare to continue to entangle and touch the lava shield.

"Haha!"

"Look, I'll just say it's fun, right?"

ฅ（*＾-＾*）ฅ

"I'm telling you, oh, my magic flame, it will always burn like this, no matter how much you flutter, no matter how much you soak in the water, it's useless!!"

(‘^ωก̀)☄☄☄

Looking at the tendrils that seemed to be the arms of the tree man, fluttering desperately on the ground and in the lake, little Anne smiled sneeringly, and at the same time pretended to be kind enough to remind the other party of this.

Anyway, the flame that Anne just released was not burned by oxygen and combustibles, but the magic flame was actually burning the life and other energy of the tree man. It will slowly burn along the tentacles of the roots of the other party's tree towards the other person's main body, until the entire huge tree man is burned to ashes!

Crash!

Boom!!

The dryad's roots thrashed vigorously in the water and mud of the lake, making loud noises and splashing on the side of the lake's gazebo.

Subsequently, after the dryad fluttered for a long time, and even soaked those huge tentacles directly into the lake, but the flames burning on it showed no signs of extinguishing, and even burned the lake red, and the soaking area around the tentacles was slowly boiling, whether it was the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian, who was standing in shock, or the dryad grandmother whose body was in the distance, they all knew:

They met the little girl, and they weren't lying! The tenacious flame burning on the tentacles of the roots of the tree when struggling, it has a strange way!!

“……”

That kind of flame......

Could it be the legendary true fire of Samadhi?

Clutching a pillar on the ground of the pavilion, Nie Xiaoqian, who seemed to be a little frightened by the little girl's spell, couldn't help but tremble slightly with fear while looking at the red flames that were still burning on the roots of the little girl and the tree demon grandmother.

Because she knew that whether it was Samadhi True Fire or not, but she could feel that that strange flame had a fatal restraint ability for ghosts like them, and if they were accidentally contaminated with a star, a female ghost like her would have to be burned to ashes!

At that time, don't say anything about the soul scattered, I'm afraid I won't even be able to leave the fragments of the soul!!

'Woohoo~!! ’

Finally, after a terrible hiss at the end, the burning roots quickly broke themselves in the middle, and directly discarded the burned parts.

Obviously, the Dryad Grandma, who had been struggling in the lake for a long time, seemed to understand that water or soil alone would definitely not be able to extinguish the fire! Therefore, she made a quick decision, and actually cut off all her burning roots brazenly and actively, and then the rest quickly shrank back into the ground and disappeared, and she didn't know where to hide.

"Oh ......"

(￣△￣； )

"Tibbs, that tree man is really cunning, he would even think of such a way, it is not the kind of gecko, how can it trick itself into cutting off its tail?"

(°ー°〃)……

Anne knew that those roots were very important to the tree man, whether it was the hands or feet, or the tongue that eats, or something.

But who would have thought that the other party could make such a big determination under the condition of being mortally threatened, and break several huge long tentacles by himself at once, it would definitely be very painful, right?

（…… ）

(Dear little master, isn't her body in the cemetery behind this big ruined temple, let's just go over and burn her with a fire, it will definitely not be able to escape!)

(●￣(ｴ)￣●)

- Left and right are just a tree man who knows some druid nature spells, and Tiebs has seen a lot of them in the world of Azeroth, so he doesn't pay much attention to it! The kind of treemen, they move very slowly, or they can't move at all? And now this tree man, at most, is only a little bigger, a little more energy, such an existence, and dare to provoke this little master of Tibbs, isn't that tired? ）

"Forget it, it just screamed so badly, it sounds really weird and pitiful, so...... Shall we burn it later? ”

(*°▽°*)╯☄

Anne was in a good mood now, because she had just listened to a nice little song, and she didn't want to pay attention to the inconsequential old tree man for the time being.

After all, that tree that has grown for thousands of years is really rare, and it would be a pity if it were burned...... And if you keep it, maybe you can let someone else chop it down to make furniture, make that kind of solid wood plank like a coffin lid, or use it as a bracelet with car beads?!

As for whether the act of cutting trees to make furniture is good or not, it is not up to little Anne to take care of it.

"Huh?!"

Σ(｀д′*ノ)ノ

As soon as Little Anne turned around, she found that the banshee-like young lady Nie Xiaoqian, who was standing in the pavilion just now, actually flew up in white clothes at this time and fled in the distance?!

"Little sister, don't run away, sing me another song?"

❤ヾ(´∀`o)+

However, it's okay that little Anne doesn't scream, as soon as she stretches out her hand, Nie Xiaoqian, who was frightened by her, ran faster in panic and fright, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if she was hiding in the cemetery behind this dilapidated temple?

"Okay......"

"Then let's listen to it another day!!"

.. (＿＿)ノ｜

Although there was a little regret in her heart, since the other party was afraid of her now, Anne did not chase after her, but jumped directly from the crossbar with the red lantern hanging a little boringly, and curiously approached the piano table in the pavilion by the lake, and began to pluck the silk strings on the paulownia wooden piano.

This is the good thing that Miss Nie Xiaoqian left when she fled in a hurry just now, and now it's just right for her to play with and practice her hands?

Knock knock!

Ding Ding Ding Ding Bell Ing~!!

Unlike the crisp and pleasant fingering that a certain female ghost played just now, the lingering sound is lingering, and it can also make people feel happy, and now Xiao Annie is playing, although it sounds almost the same as the original Nie Xiaoqian, but it is only forcibly played by her strong memory, and there is no trace of emotion fused in it at all!

Therefore, this cannot be called music at all, it can only be called ...... Noises?

（…… ）

(/-㉨-＼)

(Tibbs, who was left on the piano platform, suddenly sat up on his own, and then covered his ears tightly...... Now is the time when its little master is having fun, and it doesn't dare to jump out and say some truth to make itself uncomfortable! ）

"Hah! It's fun, Tibbs, look at this thing, I didn't expect it to play like this?! ”

（●´∀｀）♪

Anne soon discovered that this wooden harp, with only seven strings, could make so many sounds. Also, the sound of playing the strings in different positions, or pressing them with your hands, is different?

Also, she also paid attention to it just now, it seems that the young lady named Nie Xiaoqian, when the other party is playing, there are different ways to play the piano such as wiping, picking, hooking, ticking, and playing?

Knock knock!

Bell Bell Zheng Zheng ......

So, finding a new toy, and seemingly having forgotten why she had come here at Lanruo Temple, little Anne played happily alone in this little pavilion by the lake...... With her disdainful efforts, the sound of the piano, which was comparable to noise, spread throughout the entire Lanruo Temple.

“！！”

"What the hell is that female ghost doing, is this their new trick to confuse people's minds?!"

Hum!

Since the fight between the Dryad Grandma and a certain little girl just now was not fierce and ended too quickly, Yan Chixia didn't notice too much wrong, but just felt that the thousand-year-old Dryad was making some noise in the distance.

As long as the other party doesn't come close here, he will naturally not interfere with that guy's well water! After all, during the time that the two sides got along in Lanruo Temple, they had already formed a tacit understanding with each other, knowing what to do and what not to do.

"It's so infuriating!"

"What a female ghost, count you ruthless enough! Yan someone confessed today!! ”

After muttering a few words of scolding and scolding, Yan Chixia was tortured by the 'magic sounds' that did not have the slightest mana, but could successfully confuse his mind, and he really couldn't calm down to meditate, so he had to cover his ears and fall asleep with his head in secret resentment!

Since the female ghost was just playing the piano, and did not come to provoke him Yan Chixia, nor did she succeed in tempting those catchers to check it out, then no matter how others played, according to the rules, he Yan Chixia would definitely not be able to care!

——————

"Dare to hide?"

"You slut who has more than enough to do and more to lose!!"

In the haunted house of the cemetery controlled by the tree demon's grandmother, the thousand-year-old tree demon who turned into a human form that was neither male nor female, and looked a little embarrassed, was whipping Nie Xiaoqian who was lying on the ground with a whip, constantly venting the anger in his heart!

Just now, she herself was burned by a little girl and almost lost her vitality!

Yes, she felt that it was all the fault of the in front of her, and as soon as she came back, she found this place, and beat Nie Xiaoqian, who was already very innocent, to vent the fear and resentment in her heart!

That little girl of unknown origin really scared her Dryad!

Especially the other party's kind of flame that can restrain her very much!

You must know that under the mutual restraint of the five elements, their dryads were originally born with some fear of fire, even if she grew up for thousands of years, even if she became a spirit, her fear of flames was still deeply engraved in her own instincts!

It's just that she may not be too afraid of ordinary flames, and there are ways to let them extinguish themselves...... However, with the strange means of protection and flames that the little girl unleashed, there was nothing good for her dryad.

Before, if she hadn't cut off her arm in time, I am afraid that she would have been burned to death by the terrible flames that spread a long time ago!

"Humph! ! ”

"You go and prepare quickly, and later you will go to the side hall of Lanruo Temple to seduce those catchers, and bring back their spirit and flesh and blood for grandma and me to enjoy! Whoever dares to slack off, she will be your end!! ”

The tree demon grandma pointed to Nie Xiaoqian, who was beaten by herself and couldn't stand up, and shouted to the other female ghosts!

Just now, after forcibly cutting off several arms, the Dryad Grandma, whose vitality was a little badly damaged, is now in urgent need of the essence blood and soul of a living person to replenish her own loss!

"As for you......"

"When the old man of Montenegro comes to be a guest, I will give you to him as a concubine!!"

After giving orders to those submissive female ghosts, the tree demon grandmother, who had just taken all her faults out on Nie Xiaoqian, used her voice that was neither male nor female, and stared viciously at the female ghost Xiaoqian, who had been whipped dozens of times on the ground, and said suspiciously.

"Humph!"

The Tree Demon Grandma had already figured out: among the new people in Lanruo Temple today, two of them were exceptionally good in spirit and flesh, and they were even no less than those rare genius earth treasures?

And those two are the leader of the fast catch, and the little girl! Especially that little girl, if she was allowed to eat the other party's flesh and spirit, her cultivation would definitely be able to break through the limit and reach new heights!

Merely......

That little girl seems to have some incredible talents, especially the kind of spell that sets fire, and the restraint of her thousand-year-old dryad is very obvious! Therefore, she can only temporarily shift the target, planning to take down the fast capture leader who is just an ordinary person and doesn't seem to have any ability?

As for the little girl.......

Hum!

When the old man of Montenegro arrives, let the other party go out to deal with that little girl, then it will definitely be caught! It just so happened that the old demon had been spying on this little maid Nie Xiaoqian under her, so she would simply take it as a favor this time and send out this disobedient who dared to make eye contact with that little girl just now and eat inside and out?

"Grandma! Please, don't give me to Lord Montenegro!! ”

Hearing that the tree demon was planning to send him out, Nie Xiaoqian's face, which was already pale and not much blood, suddenly became whiter...... In desperation, she had no choice but to hurriedly step forward, hugged the leg of the tree demon grandmother, and pleaded with her mouth!

Because she knew that if she was given to the old demon of Montenegro as a concubine, the torture would be light...... And what's even worse is that from now on, she will never recover, never be reborn, and there will be no chance to be reincarnated as an adult!

None of the female ghosts who were given to the old demon of Montenegro had a good end!

If she Nie Xiaoqian is really sent out, when the time comes, after being tortured and humiliated by the old demon of Montenegro and tired of it, she will definitely be eaten by the other party, and her body will be dead from then on, and she will completely disappear between heaven and earth......

"Get out of here!!"

However, the dryad who was in a rage, no matter what this little maid thought, directly kicked the other party away. Now that she has made a decision, she will definitely not change it easily.

“……”

Seeing that the tree demon grandmother left without looking back, Nie Xiaoqian could only sit on the ground of the haunted house in a sad manner, lowering her head, and letting her hair cover her beautiful face.

Sure enough, she already knew......

None of the lonely ghosts who can't escape from this terrible dryad in this mass grave can have a good end...... Even if it is her Ning Xiaoqian, even if she still retains a lot of her true soul, in the end, she still can't escape.

If she hadn't been buried in the mass grave of Lanruo Temple, and she hadn't been coerced and controlled by the Dryad, I'm afraid she would have been reincarnated a long time ago, right? Where would he continue to stay in the human world like now, waiting for the order of the dryad to harm people?

Now that she is going to be given to the old demon of Montenegro soon, even the last trace of extravagant hope, the chance that she would one day be able to escape the control of the dryad, go to reincarnation, and get rid of the tragic fate is gone......

“……”

"I really envy you, Sister Xiaoqian, I'm about to be the bride of Lord Montenegro...... When the time comes, don't forget about us sisters? ”

Seeing the tree demon grandma leaving, one of the female ghosts wearing green gauze took two steps forward in a strange way and teased Nie Xiaoqian who was lying on the ground.

In the past, this Nie Xiaoqian was favored by the tree demon grandmother, and she has always had a high status and good cultivation conditions, which has long made her jealous!

Well, now that the other party is about to give it to the old demon of Montenegro, and she herself will definitely take over the position of this 'sister' in the near future, and become the chief female ghost under the hands of the tree demon grandmother, enjoying everything that the other party enjoys at this time?

"Huh!"

"Sisters, let's go, let's hurry up and clean up that group of catchers!"

The female ghost in Tsing Yi, who didn't dare to linger longer, for fear of delaying the big event of the tree demon's grandmother, waved her hand, and let the other female ghosts with different expressions float out of the door with her, ready to carry out their mission - to seduce those who catch fast, and then wait for the opportunity to absorb their yang, spirit, and flesh!

At this time, the moonlight outside Lanruo Temple was thick, and a full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the soft moonlight shone down through the dark clouds.

And tonight, the ghosts of all sides began to stir in the moonlight, and it was destined to be a sleepless night......
