Chapter 21: Jade Demon Tree Sap
"Rub."
Liu Min struck the flint with a curved fire sickle, and sparks splashed in all directions.
In his hand is a piece of peach branch that has just been broken.
The peach branches are very incombustible when they are covered with dew, but they are smoking.
There was the sound of the wind all around, but fortunately, the water wine really worked, and the whole body was warm.
It is said that the valley is surrounded by mountains, and there should not be such a strong wind, but maybe the Peach Blossom Valley is really huge, and the wind blows from all directions.
The fire was finally lit, and the dancing flames devoured the leaves on the peach branches. Peach trees full of pink peach blossoms appear in front of you.
"Where are you going?" Liu Min looked back at Rey.
There was silence all around, and Ah Mao and Ou Xichen were nowhere to be seen.
"Let's go straight ahead first."
With the fragrance of peach blossoms in the wind, the two shuttled between the dense peach trees. I don't know how long I walked, how many peach branches were burned, and a very unusual tree appeared in front of the two.
The tree was unusually tall, almost rivaling the camphor in the cave.
Rey circled the tree, the thick trunk of which almost took three people to hug, and he suddenly had an idea.
"Liu Min, this tree is so high, if I climb to the top of the tree, I will definitely be able to see far away, and maybe I will be able to find the cave."
"I'll do it anyway." Akmun's alcohol toxicity gradually subsided, and Liu Min felt that his strength was slowly returning.
"No, you just woke up from a coma, or I'll come. Don't worry, I've climbed a tree taller than this one. ”
After climbing the camphor tree once, Rey no longer looked at any of the trees.
"Whoa."
Rey had just slid upwards before sliding down quickly.
"Again."
The same ending awaited Rey.
There is something odd about this tree, the trunk is just too smooth.
"I'll come."
Liu Min exerted his strength slightly, his toes connected to the trunk of the tree, and his body was light, like a swallow rushing towards the tree.
After being three zhang high, Liu Min also felt that the trunk was too smooth, and his toes gradually lost his strength, so his body suddenly stopped and slid down along the trunk.
"It's weird."
Liu Min rekindled a peach branch, and the trunk shimmered white in the firelight.
"It's so smooth." Rey reached out and stroked the trunk of the tree as if he were caressing a piece of jade, and the tree seemed to be made entirely of white jade.
"Rey, look around this tree." Liu Min reminded.
The dancing flames formed a halo of light beneath the tree.
Something is wrong.
The underside of this big tree is so clean that there are no fallen leaves.
"Doesn't this tree have leaves?"
The two of them looked overhead, and the canopy of the tree was made up of dense branches, but the distance was so far that it was all pitch black to see really.
But the bitter wind blew, and the tree was silent.
"I'll try."
Rey took out his dagger that shimmered with a chilling light and stabbed it at the trunk.
"Whoosh."
Straight into the hilt.
The trunk of a tree made of white jade is not too hard.
"Tick, tick."
A few drops of black juice slowly dripped down the hilt of the sword.
It dripped onto Rey's newly changed shoes, quickly sticking to his toes through the cloth shoes, and then to the ground through the soles.
"Rey, are you alright?" Liu Min walked over with concern.
"It's fine."
"Slow down the ......"
Before Liu Min could finish speaking, Rey had already quickly pulled out his sword, and a large stream of juice gushed out, dyeing Rey's newly changed pale yellow cloth clothes pitch black.
"Alas, look at you......" Liu Min stretched out a small hand to help Rey pat the cloth robe, and suddenly felt that the hand was glued to Rey through the cloth robe.
"Huh?"
Liu Min pulled his hand hard, his fingers were glued to Rey's body tightly, and he couldn't pull it away.
Rey hurriedly used his hand that didn't hold the sword to help pull it, and through the black juice, one of Rey's hands and Liu Min's small hand were tightly glued together.
The black sap that flowed from the smooth tree was like superglue.
"Don't move!"
Just as Liu Min wanted to help with his other hand, Rey stopped Liu Min loudly.
Because, not only his hands, Rey found that one of his feet was also glued, as if it were nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move a single step.
"This strange juice is very sticky. We're afraid we won't be able to move for the time being. Rey said in annoyance, blaming himself for being curious to stab the tree.
"It's okay, let's figure it out, haven't we all come here like this all along the way." Liu Min comforted Rey softly.
His own hand held Liu Min's small hand and glued together with his body through the cloth, his toes and shoes were inseparable, and the soles of his shoes were tightly stuck to the ground, it seemed that just taking off his shoes or shirt could not solve the problem.
"This is called the Jade Demon Tree. The whole body is smooth, leafless and fruitless. Just when Liu Min and Rey were at a loss, a gloomy voice came from not far away.
"But the sap of the Jade Demon Tree is extremely viscous, and once it is appended, it is like an appendage." A long peach branch carried a lamp, and two figures gradually appeared under the lamp.
"You two are so careless, do you need help?"
One tall and one short, the two fat men walked towards Rey and Liu Min in a playful tone.
It was Akmon and Han Fatzi.
It's not good, now that he and Liu Min can't move, this despicable guy Akmon may not know what to do.
"Hahahaha, Brother Han, do you think these two people look like prey trapped in a spider's web?" Akmon said beside Han Fatzi.
"And we are the masters of this web." Han Fatzi echoed.
"Rey, I will, I'll protect you." Liu Min clenched the small hand that was not sticky.
Through this small hand, she could feel that Liu Min's whole body was trembling, and although she was scared, she still took a firm step forward to block Rey behind her.
"Hehe, a beauty saves a hero." Akmun was still walking side by side with Han Fatzi towards the two.
The lamp on the peach branch flickered with a pale yellow light, slowly approaching, like a soul lamp.
"Liu Min, listen to me." Rey whispered in Liu Min's ear, "I have a way, you come behind me." ”
Although Rey was trapped in one hand and one foot, he also had a hand that moved freely, and in this hand he also held a short sword with a cold light.
Hmph, the current Rey is no longer the mermaid who fell off the cliff, but has become a Monkey King wearing golden armor and stepping on colorful auspicious clouds.
The sword is in hand, and I have it in the world!
"Oh? Are you discussing countermeasures? Akmun suddenly stopped two feet away from the two of them, and silently took off his top hat.
Han Fatzi also stopped, his eyes staring at Liu Min's beautiful face.
"Brother Han, all the people who come to slay the dragon are our enemies, aren't they?" Akmon patted his white top hat and said.
"That's nature." Han Fatzi held a long peach branch with a lamp in one hand and crossed it on his waist with the other.
"Where is the best place for the enemy?" There was an evil glint in Akmun's two small green bean-like eyes.
Liu Min was still tightly in front of Rey.
"That's a grave, of course, hehe." Han Fat said with a smiling face.
"These two people are also fortune tellers, but this time they won't be so lucky, Brother Han, I'll come?" Akmon said lightly, as if full of confidence.
"Haha, please." Han Fatzi still crossed his waist with one hand.
Rey pulled the hand that was glued to Liu Min, "Liu Min, come behind me, I have a sword, I ......"
In a hurry, I almost blurted out a big move.
"You think I've lived all my life with those glasses?" Akmun walked slowly towards the two.
Han Fatzi was still standing in place, holding the lamp with one hand and crossing his waist with the other, as if he was frozen.
"I'll show you the means of my Akmun today."
In his sight, Akmun's body was getting bigger and bigger, and Han Fatzi had been completely blocked.
"Hurry up and get behind me." Rey pulled Liu Min hard, but his hand was still glued to his chest, and the effect was little.
"Hmmm......"
Perhaps out of 100% trust in Rey, Liu Min finally returned to Rey's back, pulling Rey's tightly with a small hand, with nervousness and relief in his beautiful eyes.
Akmun's massive body drew closer, a grim smile on his face.
Rey smiled as well, and slowly raised his hand holding the sword, the tip of which was pointed at Akmun.
"Hehe, you dagger also want to kill, look at this!" Akmun, who was close at hand, suddenly patted his white top hat.
With a swipe, it was as if a switch had been activated, and a circle of gear-like blades suddenly drilled out of the brim of the top hat.
In the night, the blade flashed with a cold green light, which must have been quenched with poison.
"Hahahaha!" Akmun, who had the chance to win, looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Sayonara."
Rey doesn't want to talk nonsense.
……
The night was still dark, still silent.
Akmon still stood quietly close at hand, Liu Min held his hand tightly behind him, the messy aura hit him, and Sen Han's sharp blade was in front of him.
Nothing happened!
……
"Attention Rey the gamer, please note Rey the gamer, the sword CD time has not yet expired, and the skill cannot be used."
The cold voice of the system exploded in Rey's mind again, and Rey's mind went blank!
"Die!" Akmon swung his venomous blade at Rey.
"No ......"
Everything was so fast, Rey, who was at a loss, heard Liu Min's crying voice, saw the sharp blade that was about to hit his forehead in an instant, and heard the presumptuous wind around him and his own heartbeat.
"Tick, tick."
Rey saw the blood dripping down its face.
Am I dead?
Game over?
"Boom!"
A tragic body fell.
But not Rey!
"You, you......" The white top hat with a sharp blade was scattered to the side, and Akmun's small eyes were full of disbelief.
"Brother Meng, you are not right when you say that all those who come to slay dragons are our enemies." Han Fatzi smiled and withdrew the soft sword that pierced Akmon's eyebrows, and wiped the blood from it.
"Rather, it should be, all those who come to slay the dragon are my enemies!"
"Brother Meng, you have always been cautious, how could you carelessly leave your back to others this time? After eliminating these two defenseless people, it should be me next, right? ”
Han Fatzi looked at the dead Akmon and continued, "Then of course I have to strike first, right?" Didn't Brother Meng teach me all this? ”
"Huh. Now it's your turn. ”
Han Fatzi, who killed Akmun, looked at Rey and Liu Min with a grin again.
