Chapter 7: Hate for No Reason
In the sedan chair, Feng Yan's eyes were still on the jade in her hand, but the sedan chair stopped suddenly, and Feng Yan stumbled in the sedan chair, and the jade in her hand almost fell.
The sound of blowing and beating suddenly fell silent, and the entire procession to greet relatives stopped, and before Feng Yan could ask what was going on outside, she heard people asking each other in panic from the noisy sound outside.
"That'...... What is that? ”
"It's a monster!! There are monsters!! ”
Feng Yan lifted the corner of Xipa with one hand, lifted the sedan curtain with the other, and looked in the direction of everyone's voices—about a few streets and alleys, huge vines like living pythons surrounded the tower of Mingtang.
There was a faint smell of scorching in the wind, and panicked cries were heard in the distance.
Feng Yan looked at the vines that were tightly clinging to the tower, and was a little surprised and speechless for a while.
Such a behemoth was so close that she didn't even notice it in the sedan chair.
The demonic aura near the vines was surging and rushing, the turbid light purple intertwined with the dark red blood—this majestic demonic aura had already distorted the wind nearby, almost visible to the naked eye, but she was standing nearby, but she still couldn't feel even a ten-thousandth abnormality from it.
"It's out of the water!!" Someone screamed in the distance.
Under the bright hall, the dancing flames slowly became conspicuous.
The subordinate next to him hurriedly walked to Feng Yan's side, "Miss, go back to the sedan chair quickly!" Let's get out of here—"
"It doesn't matter." Feng Yan looked at the tower and said softly, "Judging from the color of the demonic qi, this tree demon is still shallow, and it can't make any big waves. ”
The lighter the color of the demonic energy, the darker the path, and the demonic qi that can be seen directly with the naked eye like this is the last stream of demons.
Sure enough, before Feng Yan's words fell, a giant vine attached to the tower was peeled off entirely.
A loud noise was heard in the distance, and the dust stirred up was like a slowly rising wave.
"Peach Blossom Guard is here! Peach Blossom Guard is here! ”
Only then did everyone see that it turned out that near the Ming Hall, there had been white-robed people who had eliminated demons and subdued demons, and these people had always been secretly guarding the Jingshi on weekdays, and once there was an evil disorder, they would immediately take action.
They should have been the ones who cut off the giant vine.
Feng Yan quietly looked at the tree demon not far away, and for the first time in her life, she had doubts about herself: how could such a little demon who could be easily subdued by Peach Blossom Wei escape her ...... detection?
Before Feng Yan could figure it out, she suddenly felt an unusual tremor under her feet.
The people around were obviously aware that the guards of the Feng Mansion were already fully armed and ready to resist the invasion of foreign enemies at any time.
A gust of wind blew, and Feng Yan instinctively raised her hand to cover the Xipa on the phoenix crown to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
At the moment of the wind, Feng Yan saw that the ground under her feet suddenly cracked a gap.
A slender green vine, but enough to trap the tiny Feng Yan, quickly penetrated the surface of the ground and lifted Feng Yan's entire body into the air
All of this is just too fast.
Feng Yan had already sensed the approach of the vine demon, but the paradox was that even if she was restrained by the demon vine at the moment, it was still difficult for her to feel the breath of the monster on this thin vine, but the strong hatred coming from the ground—this strong hatred that was no different from "human"—had almost swept the entire street.
This malice was exactly the same as what she was aware of when she left the Feng family.
Feng Yan didn't even have time to think about why there was love and hatred from a tree demon that only belonged to people, and there was only one thing that surprised her the most at this moment-
"This dryad...... Hate me?"
More vines had already cracked out, like hundreds of green snakes surging towards Feng Yan, and the tree vines that covered the sky and the sun wrapped Feng Yan's entire person into a huge cocoon with a terrifying formation.
There were screams from all sides, some people covered their eyes, some fled in a hurry, and the guards raised their knives and slashed wildly at the tree vines, but the shells of the trees were as solid as rocks, and the swords were completely useless.
Inside the dark vine cocoon, the sharp tree vines were like countless swords, stabbing towards Feng Yan with overwhelming momentum.
However, when the vines flew inches away from her, they all stopped.
Around Feng Yan, there was a faint layer of pale golden halo, they were like sparkling water patterns on the surface of the lake, and like indestructible armor, firmly resisting the vines outside, unable to advance an inch.
Feng Yan had already closed her eyes and gazed at the vines with her spiritual sense.
"Your way is too shallow...... I don't know how you disguised yourself, but none of the monsters in the world can hurt me."
"To attack like you is to die."
"Is it worth it?"
The tree vine did not answer, and after a short pause, Feng Yan felt that the other party suddenly launched another attack with a force a hundred times stronger than before—in the vision of the spiritual sense, Feng Yan saw that the demon element of the tree demon was being consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The demon element is the essence of the demon, just like the soul of a person. Once it is gone, it means that there is no possibility of resurrection in this world.
Feng Yan was puzzled.
"Even if they die together, do you want to take my life?"
She heard the hysterical screams of the dryad in her ears, countless echoes converging into a deafening roar within the vine cocoon.
There was hatred and pain in this voice, the existence of the dryad was gradually becoming thinner, but the killing intent and offensive had almost reached the peak of shock, the fiery hatred was wrapped in the will to be desperate, and the sharp vines became stronger and stronger, which made Feng Yan feel a little tricky.
Just as Feng Yan was thinking about a way to get out, the attack of the tree vine suddenly stopped.
A few slight cracks suddenly appeared on the vine cocoons, and light shone in along them and sprinkled on Feng Yan's face.
Almost instantly, the Dryad's Demon Element—the turquoise flame—scattered like a firefly's in the daylight.
It seems that this tree demon has reached her limit, and this young demon element can last for so long, which has made Feng Yan a little surprised.
"I don't understand...... Feng Yan still stared at the last remnant with her divine sense, "Why...... Hate me like that?"
Infinite sorrow and sorrow rose from the vines, and in her sense, Feng Yan finally heard the response from the dryad, and a faint and thin voice came from the faint light that gradually dissipated.
"I will never ...... Makes you hurt...... Lord Wei."
With this answer, Feng Yan instantly opened her eyes.
Wei Xingzhen?
The entire vine cocoon was cut open from the outside by a sword at this moment, and Feng Yan suddenly felt the green vine wrapped around him, completely losing his strength.
The sunlight poured down, and the crimson hem of her clothes was the first to meet Feng Yan's eyes.
She raised her eyes slightly, and in front of her was a somewhat unfamiliar face, full of worry and anxiety—
Wei Xingzhen had a few smears of dust on her cheeks, and there were obviously a few tearing marks on her sleeves, as if she had just escaped from a bitter battle.
Time seemed to freeze, and when they looked at each other, Feng Yan suddenly found that the moment Wei Xingzhen's eyes looked at him, the anxiety dissipated.
Wei Xingzhen quickly hugged Feng Yan who was falling, and then stepped on the vines that had not broken in a few places nearby, and fell to the ground very lightly.
About five or six white-robed men with talismans in their hands also landed on the ground.
"I'm fine here," Wei Xingzhen looked at them, "You guys go look elsewhere." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wei, for your help!"
Several white-robed people bowed to Wei Xingzhen in unison, and then jumped and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
"I'm late, ma'am." Wei Xingzhen looked over, "Are you hurt?" ”
