Chapter 18: The Dead Woods

Putting away this unknown flower and this monster's demon pill, Jiuli was about to continue moving forward, but he heard a sound behind him, and Jiuli turned around in confusion, and his face suddenly changed.

"I'm going!"

Jiuli hurriedly picked up the sand under her feet and ran into the distance, and behind her, a group of monsters like before were chasing her.

After running for a long time, Jiuli looked back at the back, confirmed that he hadn't caught up, and leaned against a tree to prepare to rest.

"I'm scared to death!" Gasping slightly, although the monster was not strong, it was really a lot.

Rustling~~

"Huh?" There was another strange noise, Jiuli hurriedly observed the surroundings, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal, he continued to rest.

Search~! Syllable!

Two voices sounded in succession, Jiuli quickly got up and jumped away, just now there was an attack coming towards him, but it was blocked by the sand.

"What's it again, hey?" Jiuli looked around vigilantly, the sand had the function of automatic defense, defending against the attack just now, but he didn't see the direction of the attack clearly due to negligence.

Sand ~ Sand ~

A heavier voice sounded than just now, and I saw that the big tree that Jiuli had leaned on just now actually moved, and countless rattans were winding towards Jiuli.

"Instantly!"

Jiuli, who suddenly appeared on the other side, looked at the rattan wrapped in a ball, and secretly feared that if he hadn't dodged it in time with the Sand Instant Body Technique, he would have been wrapped into a zongzi.

飕~飕~

The rattan continued to come towards Jiuli, who once again used the sand instant body technique to hide aside and began to fight back

Refine the empty bomb!

Several cyan energy projectiles headed towards the main body of the tree, but they were blocked by other rattans.

"Sand Hell!" Dodging the entwined rattans, Jiuli supported the ground with both hands, and the ground that was originally calm began to become not calm, with Jiuli as the center, the thorns continued to pierce out, spreading towards the body of the demon tree, since you can't move, then directly use aoe to solve you, Jiuli looked at the demon tree whose trunk was pierced, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

The vines, which were originally extremely active, also stopped the moment the trunk was pierced, and began to retract towards the main body.

"Humph! I almost forgot that I still have this ability" Looking at the rattan that returned to the defense, Jiuli suddenly sounded, and it seemed that he had another ability

Stretching out his right hand, a dark blue flame burned in his palm.

"A cool song for you!" With a wave of his hand, a dark blue flame qi blade went towards the demon tree, perhaps sensing the danger, the big tree actually trembled, but it couldn't resist the blue flame burning on his body, and the burning flame of the rattan kept waving, and even Jiuli stayed away from this demon tree.

"Follow me! Cut~" Looking at the charred demon tree, Jiuli snorted, although the power of the two tails cannot be completely controlled, but this ordinary attack is still completely Oak.

With the previous flight, Jiuli was now in a dead wood forest, surrounded by a thick white mist, and the dead trees stood one after another, as silent as a dead place.

"What the hell is this~" Jiuli walked aimlessly alone, but here is like a labyrinth, making people unable to find the direction, the more they walk, the fog gets thicker and thicker, and the aura is getting thinner and thinner.

Jingle bell ~ jingle bell ~

"Huh?" Hearing a bell ringing, Jiuli did not rush over to find out, but a chill rose in his back, and he always felt that something dangerous was waiting for him in front of him.

Jingle bell~

The bell rang louder and louder, so loud that Jiuli couldn't cover it even when he covered his ears

"Forget it, let's take a detour" After thinking about it for a while, Jiuli decided to bypass here, return some distance along the same path, and walk in another direction

Jingle bell~

The sound of the wind blowing the hanging bell began to ring in Jiuli's ears again, obviously he had already walked around, how could it be?

Suddenly, Jiuli seemed to think of something, made a mark in the same place, and walked into the distance again.

Long

Jiuli didn't know how long he had been walking, looking at the marks on the ground, Jiuli secretly said damn it, and sure enough, he walked back again, and the bell in his ears was still ringing as always, as if he was laughing at her powerlessness.

"I'm here to see what kind of monster it is!" Jiuli gritted his teeth and decided to find out what kind of monster was doing it.

As the bell rang louder and louder, Jiuli knew that he was getting closer and closer to the monster

Jingle bell~

What appeared in front of Jiuli's eyes was a huge ancient tree, and there was a bell hanging on the ancient tree, which kept shaking in the wind, and the sound of the bell came from here, but the strange thing was that Jiuli obviously didn't feel the slightest wind.

"Anyone?"

Jiuli tentatively shouted at the ancient tree, but then she regretted it, secretly scolding herself for being stupid, not to mention whether there is anyone or not, even a monster will not agree.

"Yes, come here," an old voice came

"Forehead ......" Jiuli only felt an invisible pain in his cheek at this moment, and said in a slap in the face, Jiuli stood in place in a daze, if you tell me to go over, I will go over?

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you" Seeing Jiuli's hesitation, the old voice sounded again

"Believe you ghost, you bad old man is very bad, you want to lie to your grandfather and I will plot against me in the past, no way?" Jiuli crossed her hands on her hips, scolded, and immediately walked in the opposite direction after speaking, so panicked that she almost tripped when she was walking.

"Alas~"

The old voice sighed, and a rattan suddenly shot out, tying her up before Jiuli could fully react.

"Ahh Help me! Feeling the tremendous force coming from the rattan, Jiu Li knew that he couldn't break free, so he simply shouted for help.

"Don't cry! Little girl"

"Uh...... "You just cried, your whole family cried!" Jiuli scolded in her heart, but the moistness coming from the corners of her eyes made her feel a hot feeling on her face.

Damn it! When did you become ...... It's become so delicate...... I didn't expect that I would be scared out of tears, and I didn't even pay attention to the rattan tied to my body, so I was stunned.

"Hehe, the little girl is very interesting" A short figure appeared in the fog and slowly walked towards Jiuli.

"You...... Who are you? What do you want?! Jiuli heard the voice, hurriedly relieved himself and looked at the person who had already walked in front of him and asked.

"Me? You just call me Old Man Deadwood, as for the name...... I forgot myself" The diminutive figure was a stooping old man, dressed in a cloak so that his face could not be seen clearly, but the palm of the hand exposed from the cuff was a dry wooden hand.
