Ink extinguished the half-smoked cigarette and beckoned us to continue on our way.

As soon as Xiao Chou turned around in a few steps, we ran at a constant speed at the speed of the ink.

Suddenly, Xiao Chou dodged and hid behind a tree. I was wondering when a little girl ran out of my face the next second, and I stopped in time and almost hit her.

The little girl looked at me with a small wildflower in one hand and big eyes flashing.

Afraid that my phase would scare her, I took a step back, but she took two steps forward, then reached out and touched my head, and smiled very sweetly.

"Kaede Bridge!" Suddenly someone shouted, and the little girl ran away.

We glanced and saw that it was the old lady in charge of the Black Fox Clan. I suddenly remembered that this little girl was the daughter of Feng'er, and if she ran in this direction, it would be the territory of the Black Fox Clan.

We retreated and got up to say hello to the old man, but the little girl looked at me with a smile and smiled at her.

The old lady was slightly stunned when she saw us and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Judging by her wary look, I guess we want to ask them for help with something. Without knowing anything, the face is already full of rejection.

Ink also seemed to see the old lady's thoughts, and said, "We were about to rush to the botanical garden, but we were just passing through here. ”

At this time, Feng Yin also ran over, and Zhuo Jing immediately came to his senses when he saw it, and waved his hand to Feng Yin, "Feng Yin!" The wind groans! ”

Feng Yin smiled at Zhuo Jing and nodded at us again. I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I saw her this time, I always felt that she was a lot more distant from us, maybe because of the old lady's presence.

The old lady stared at us with sharp eyes, turned her head and asked Feng Yin coldly, "Are you familiar with each other?" ”

Feng Yin shook his head and didn't speak.

I didn't expect this old lady to see us this time, and it was even more discordant than last time. It's true that they helped us, but Ink also didn't hesitate to let them out at the expense of their spiritual power, so that they could be set free. It stands to reason that it's a flat story, how can it be like we owe her!

I don't like this old lady more and more.

Maple Bridge suddenly ran towards me and held up the wildflower in his hand, "This is for you." ”

I crouched down and took it with a smile, "Thank you, Kaedehashi." ”

"What's your name?" Kaede Bridge asked me.

I smiled, "My name is Bai Yi." ”

"Maple Bridge." The old lady crouched down and beckoned to Maple Bridge. After Fengqiao ran over, the old lady immediately put on a kind face, and she gently stroked Fengqiao's hair, "Fengqiao, will you go back with your aunt first?" ”

"Grandma, let's go." Fengqiao said in a milky voice.

The old lady smiled, "You go back first, and grandma will come in a moment." ”

The old lady got up and gave Feng Yin a look, and Feng Yin took Feng Qiao's hand and turned away without looking at us. The old lady watched them go away.

Shui Mo asked bluntly, "I wonder what the old lady has to say?" ”

"You're going to find those vegetative people?" The old lady asked.

Shui Mo nodded and said, "We heard that there was turmoil in the botanical garden, those vegetative people harbored evil intentions at the beginning, and in recent days, there have been evil spirits in the black market that have been killed by them, so the vegetative people can't stay any longer." ”

The old lady said calmly, "After those vegetative people have their feet cut off, the psychedelic illusions emitted will be even stronger, but with your spiritual power, it is not impossible to control your mind. However, never shake their hands. ”

"Why can't you shake their hands?" Zhuo Jing asked.

"When you hold your hands, your mind is completely connected, which also means that your mind is completely controlled by it. In that case, if the person who is not in the illusion sees the person in his heart standing in front of him, the illusion will not be solved. The old lady suddenly looked at me and continued, "Remember what I just said, you can do it yourself. With that, he turned and walked away.

"Thank you for the kind reminder, old lady." Ink said.

The old lady said without replying, "Don't come here again in the future." ”

Zhuo Jing looked at the old lady's back, "This old man's heart is not bad." ”

Shui Mo said, "That won't be a mother-in-law who is easy to get along with, and the person who likes her daughter still has a good number of points in his heart." ”

Zhuo Jing disagreed, "Some people are just knife-mouthed tofu hearts. ”

The old lady's last kind reminder made me feel that she didn't seem to reject us as much as I thought, maybe she just didn't like to socialize, didn't want to be disturbed in life, just like those vegetative people had the same mentality at the beginning, not hospitable.

Xiao Chou walked out, I held wild flowers to him, and teased him in Fengqiao's tone, "This is for you." ”

Xiao Chou was stunned for a moment, Zhuo Jing didn't know where to pick up a piece of grass, and he also held it up, and also imitated Fengqiao's tone, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

This time, Xiao Chou was even more stunned, and took half a step back in astonishment.

Shui Mo said, "You two are scared of the Spirit King, be careful for a while and he will suck you into evil spirits of unknown origin!" ”

Zhuo Jing hurriedly hid to the side and touched his neck, "No, no, the little mute still has the ability to discern." ”

I looked at Xiao Chou and said with a smile, "Don't make trouble, continue to lead the way." ”

Xiao Chou nodded.

A few hours later, the sky began to brighten, and a faint aroma gradually wafted in.

We stopped running and paced forward instead. There were many weeds and weeds around, but it was surprisingly quiet, and there was no sound to be heard except for the footsteps of a few of us.

"Friends, pay attention." Shui Mo whispered, "I didn't expect to smell it when I walked here, it seems that the rat head did not make a false report, and the territory of these vegetative people has really expanded a lot." ”

The scent is fresh and elegant, and the smell is refreshing, with a fruity and tranquil sandalwood aroma, which is completely different from what I imagined. After smelling it for a long time, you will unconsciously walk in the direction of the fragrance.

Ink slammed into me hard, "Xiaobai, it's messy before you arrive?" ”

I came to my senses, if it weren't for the impact of ink, I would really have followed this smell out of my body, and my soul didn't know where it had gone. I shook my fur and reminded myself that I must not be careless again.

I said, "In a moment, we will adopt a quick and precise tactic, cut off the roots first, and don't look at the face and stab them in the heart, so as not to give those things a chance to confuse us." ”

"Agreed!" Zhuo Jing said, "In addition to being able to confuse people's minds, vegetative people don't seem to have any other means of attack, as long as they don't get hit, they can be easily wiped out." ”

"The most important thing is to remind yourself at all times and control your mind." ”

I asked, "Are those daggers we bought sharp?" After all, it's the bones that are chopped. ”

Shui Mo replied, "Let me feel for a while, what it is like to sharpen bones like mud." ”

After touching the road for a while, the fragrance became stronger and stronger, and even a little smoky people were dizzy, and after retreating from the phase, they felt a little better.

We covered our mouths and noses and continued to probe forward, the trees began to sparse out, the weeds began to flourish, and the surrounding area was shrouded in fog, and the visibility was extremely limited.

We were divided into two groups, about two meters apart. Zhuo Jing followed behind Shui Mo, his hand pressed on the dagger on his waist. After a few steps, they stopped behind a tree, and then squinted and tried to look into the fog.

I walked cautiously forward with Xiao Chou's waist, covered by weeds more than half a meter high. After walking for a while, I stepped out and found that I had stepped out of the grass.

Xiao Chou suddenly grabbed me, turned his head and found that he was listening carefully to something at the moment.

Ink also stopped, leaning behind the tree, he gestured to us, signaling us to go back first.

I was puzzled and asked him with my mouth, "Is there a situation?" ”

Ink replied to me with three words, I didn't understand it, I pondered for a long time, until he blew a breath, I didn't react, what he just said was "wait for the wind to come." ”

I sat down, and the ink gently moved towards us.

After about a cigarette, a gust of wind blew through, and the fog gradually blew away. I peeled the weeds open a crack with the tip of my knife and looked at it, and my heart twitched instantly.

The first thing I saw was the extremely dense calves of the people not far ahead, buried in the earth below the ankles.

At first, I couldn't figure out how these vegetative people who had taken root in the soil expanded their territory, and when I saw the ground around their feet, there were all signs of loosening - "wading through the soil", and they actually walked forward in the soil.

When I looked up again, I was shocked that many of the legs were only up to the knees, some to the base of the thighs, and some were only a white bone, and there were several pieces of flesh hanging around the bones, which were uneven and dripping with blood, and it was obvious that these had been gnawed.

Even without their upper bodies, they seem to still be alive, shaking their remaining limbs from time to time, and the few leaves scattered on their legs are all green, and there are no signs of withering and withering due to the mutilation of the main body.

I finally know what ink says, the roots are continuous, even if the head is unscrewed, it is not dead.

I continued to observe them, those relatively intact vegetative people, some squinted and rested, some raised their eyes, and some plucked the leaves on their bodies and put them in their mouths, showing a little disappointed.

Each "person" has its own physical characteristics, subtle expressions, and if you look at the face alone, it is no different from a mortal.

As the mouse's head says, there are mutilated limbs between them, as long as they are within a person's distance or so. As a rough estimate, the number of remaining vegetative people is around a hundred.

We looked at each other, made brief eye contact, and then pulled out our daggers.

“go！” After the ink shouted, we ran in four directions, in a fan-shaped position, towards the vegetative man.

Suddenly the fragrance was strong, I didn't dare to raise my head, I slashed horizontally at a pair of ankles, the incision was neat and smooth, I didn't delay for a moment, moved to its heart, and stabbed it into it violently.

A woman's scream, my hair stood on end. I didn't dare to look at her face, and quickly ran to the next vegetative foot.

As the vegetative people fell one after another, the smell was so thick that it choked the throat and eyes.

Although the trick of "fast and accurate" works quickly, it has a short time limit. After a few times, the vegetative people also began to fight back, crouching down one after another, as parallel to our line of sight as possible, trying to get us to see their faces.

The vegetative man in front of me pressed my shoulder, and I lowered my head and pushed it away, without saying a word, it was a knife to its ankle. As soon as I wanted to get up and prick its heart, it actually stood up, and its two little legs were like wooden stakes, firmly stuck in the ground, and blood continued to seep up from the soil.

The vegetative man suddenly stretched out a hand to me, and it had a pink bracelet tied to its wrist, and my heart shook, and I subconsciously raised my head and saw that Xiao Fan was bending over slightly, smiling faintly at me.

This outfit is what I looked like when I first met him.

I looked at Xiao Fan's face and slowly stood up. At this moment, I still have a part of my consciousness awake, and I can even hear Bai San shouting over and over again, "Come back to your senses!" ”

I said, "Bai San, it's okay, I just want to see him." ”
