Chapter 36: The Dryad
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ten Thousand Tenglin is extremely dangerous, for the sake of safety. In the next proposal everyone to get together. After Deng Zhi and his party left, a young man in his twenties glanced at the people around him, and finally stopped his gaze on Jiang Xiaoyue's face and said seriously. The young man was dressed in a white dress inlaid with silver silk, his face was handsome, his face was slightly pale, and a touch of treachery flashed in the depths of his eyes, and it was Liu Yanqing, the eldest grandson of Liu Yan, the king of Huaiyang.
"Well, so that we can take care of each other in times of danger. The chances of survival are bound to increase greatly. โ
"In the lower martial arts, he is completely unable to complete the trial alone, it is rare for Brother Liu to be so righteous, so he naturally can't seek knowledge. โ
"Brother Liu is a great martial artist, his cultivation is unfathomable, as long as you are here, we will definitely be able to end the training safely. โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Liu Yanqing, as the eldest grandson of Huaiyang Wang, has a lot of prestige among the new students of Jiujiang Academy, and as soon as he finished speaking, several students immediately expressed their approval.
Liu Yanqing stared at Jiang Xiaoyue with a smile: "Miss Jiang, what do you think?"
Before Jiang Xiaoyue could speak, Luo Yunchen interjected first: "You are kind, I will understand it." It's just that Sister Xiaoyue doesn't like to be with strangers, so please see me. โ
As soon as the words fell, Luo Yunchen took Jiang Xiaoyue's slender hand and walked into the distance. Jiang Xiaoyue frowned slightly, hesitated, and finally did not break free.
Seeing Luo Yunchen pulling Jiang Xiaoyue away, Qin Ling greeted Liu Yan beside him, walked a few steps quickly, caught up with the two, and asked a little puzzled: "Brother Chen, Brother Fool thinks Liu Yanqing's proposal is good, why don't you agree?"
"It's not pleasing to the eye when you look at that guy down. If Brother Qin wanted to be with him, he would not stop him. Luo Yunchen somehow, after seeing Liu Yanqing's eyes looking at Jiang Xiaoyue, he unconsciously felt a wave of hostility in his heart, and said angrily.
"Why do you think this is sour, is it possible that you like Miss Jiang?" Qin Ling glanced at Jiang Xiaoyue and winked at Luo Eryunchen.
"Yes, I like Sister Xiaoyue! So what's the matter?" Luo Yunchen clearly felt that when he said this, Jiang Xiaoyue's expression was obviously stunned.
Liu Yanqing stared at Luo Yunchen's distant back, a cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he hated in his heart: "The boy who doesn't know whether he lives or dies dares to destroy the good deeds of this son." Ben Gongzi remembers you. โ
"Childe, do you want it?"
Seeing Liu Yanqing's expression was different, a young man with a rat head and a roe brain, who looked like an attendant, raised his hand and scratched his neck, made a killing gesture, and asked in a low voice.
"If you want to clean up that kid, there is a chance, and this place is unpredictable, so don't make any extraneous branches. โ
Luo Yunchen was so keen, he had already heard the words of Liu Yanqing and his party in his ears, and there was a sneer in his heart, and an invisible aura of slaughter unconsciously came out.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xiaoyue sensed that Luo Yunchen's expression was different, and gently pulled the latter's shirt and asked in a low voice.
"Sister Xiaoyue, I'm fine. I just think that the death of the five people is too ugly, I don't know what kind of monster it is, it is terrible to be able to suck up the essence and blood in the human body in such a short time. โ
Ahh
"Oh no, someone has an accident again. โ
Luo Yunchen's face changed slightly, and he immediately turned around and rushed towards the direction where the screams came from.
In the weeds on the ground, six shriveled corpses lay crookedly, with a walnut-sized hole in the skull, and their faces looked as panicked as the five people who had died before.
"Isn't this the five people who left before? What kind of monster is so ferocious. โ
"It seems that the danger of the Ten Thousand Vine Forest this time is far beyond our expectations. Everyone cheered up and was ready for the unknown. Liu Yan, who has always been silent, said with a gloomy face after seeing the death of the five people.
Luo Yunchen didn't make a sound, he stepped forward by himself, carefully examined the wounds of the deceased, frowned slightly, he really couldn't think of what kind of fierce demon could kill all six people in just a quarter of an hour.
"What kind of monster is it, so terrifying?"
"Be careful!" Luo Yunchen's expression was grim, he grabbed Jiang Xiaoyue's slender hand, his body was backward, and the afterimage flashed, appearing three zhang away, and at the same moment, his mind turned, and the silver-edged sword slashed towards the two brown and black tentacles that flew over like lightning.
The tip of the brown-black tentacle broke, and dark purple blood poured out from the incision, and the tree seemed to feel pain, and quickly pulled the tentacle back.
"Sister Xiaoyue, Brother Qin, Miss Liu, this tree is very strange! Most of Deng Zhi and his party were killed by it. I'll have to be careful. โ
The previous situation was too weird, if it weren't for Luo Yunchen's quick reaction, I'm afraid that most of the four of them would have become a skeleton like Deng Zhi and his party.
Qin Ling stared straight at the ancient maple tree that had withdrawn its tentacles, and asked with a solemn expression, "Miss Jiang, could it be that this tree has become a refinement?"
Before Qin Ling finished speaking, the ancient maple trees around him were shaking, the wind was roaring, swishing, swishing, swishing, more than ten brown and black tree poles were like devil's claws, poking out from the body of the tree, whirling and dancing, stabbing at the heads of the four people.
The four of them had already prepared, and they all rose into the air, waved the weapons in their hands, and slashed at the brown and black tree poles like octopus tentacles, and the two sides soon became entangled with each other.
"Brother Chen, this is the dryad's tentacles are very hard. With the sharpness of the cold iron treasure knife, it can't hurt it in the slightest. If this continues, we will have to die here. Qin Linghan's iron blade swung wildly, slashing at the attacking tentacles again and again, but only a few shallow marks were left.
Luo Yunchen also saw that with the weapons in the hands of the three people, they could not cause effective damage to the dryad at all, but fortunately, the silver-edged sword was sharp enough, and between the vertical and horizontal shuttles, there were constantly brown and black tentacles cutting down.
Although Luo Yunchen's speed of cutting off the tentacles was fast, the speed of the dryad's new tentacles was even faster, like a group of demons dancing wildly, and soon the four of them were firmly trapped. Luo Yunchen and Jiang Xiaoyu are in a better situation, but Liu Yan and Qin Ling are not in a good situation, even if they try their best, they can only protect themselves.
"Ahh
"Don't be afraid, sister, sister is here to save you. Jiang Xiaoyue's body swept lightly, shook a few ghostly, bypassed the tentacles that were blocking the attack, and slashed out a sword towards the tentacles that were entangled in Liu Yan, saying that it was too late, it was fast, and a cold sword light pierced the sky, and it disappeared into the tentacles in an instant.
Dark purple blood gushed out, and the tentacles that bound the willow leaves quickly withdrew. Jiang Xiaoyue hugged Liu Yan by the way, jumped backwards like a fish, avoided the two tentacles, and landed in the open space three zhang away.
Before Jiang Xiaoyue's body could stand firmly, five tentacles struck again like lightning, two left, two right, and the other went straight to the back of Jiang Xiaoyue's head like a meteor.
"Sister Xiaoyue, be careful!" Luo Yunchen shouted, using all his strength to move the Silver Prism Sword, cutting off the four tentacles that attacked, shifting shapes and transposition, and reappearing behind Jiang Xiaoyue's side, the Silver Shuttle Sword slashed at the tentacles that stabbed at the back of Jiang Xiaoyue's head.
The tentacle snapped in response, purple blood splattered, and slowly fell to the ground, turning into a withered brown-black branch. The four tentacles on the left and right sides did not stop at all, hovering like a snake, entangled Jiang Xiaoyue and Liu Yan, and pulled towards the tree suddenly. At the same moment, the skin of the giant tree cracked, and a monster with green hair and green fangs poked out of it, and the monster glanced at the four of them coldly, and the blood gushed wide, and bit Jiang Xiaoyue and Liu Yan fiercely with tentacles entwined.
Jiang Xiaoyue and Liu Yan struggled desperately, but they couldn't break free no matter how they few, seeing that the two flower-like women were about to become the mouth of the tree demon, a figure appeared like lightning, and a cold blood-devouring voice sounded in the air: "Let go of Sister Xiaoyue!"
With a shake of his wrist, a nail as black as ink shot out sharply, like wind and lightning, and stabbed fiercely at the tentacles that were entwining Jiang Xiaoyue and Liu Yan. As soon as the Soul Eater nail stabbed the tentacle, wisps of black qi emitted from it, centered on the front end, and quickly spread along the tentacle to the entire tree.
"Whew!"
The dryad let out a terrible howl, and the four tentacles that were entangled in Jiang Xiaoyue and Liu Yan were loosened, and they were quickly recovered, but everything was too late, and where the black gas passed, the tentacles shriveled up as if the blood essence had been drained. The dryad screamed in heart-rending pain again, and the tentacles contaminated with black gas broke one after another, Luo Yunchen didn't expect that the Soul Devouring Nail that had been rerefined by Zhu Ganglie would be so powerful, forcing the dryad to kill himself. Luo Yunchen's eyes flashed coldly, like a dragon out of the sea, he jumped into the air, deftly passed through the dense tentacles, appeared in front of the head of the tree demon, and stabbed down with the silver shuttle sword in his hand.
The speed of the silver edge sword is extremely fast, unbiased, and it does not reach the head of the dryad, and the dryad roars again and again under the pain, and goes berserk.
"Sister Xiaoyue, you take Liu Yan to leave first. I'm here to stop this dryad. Luo Yunchen shouted anxiously, and controlled the Silver Ridge Sword with all his strength, blocking the more than ten tentacles that attacked the two of them.
Qin Ling also rotated the Cold Iron Treasure Knife, and frantically slashed at the surrounding branches, and the loud sound of gold and stone resonating spread in all directions.
"Brother Chen, be careful behind your back!" Before Qin Ling finished speaking, Luo Yunchen felt a pain in his back, and a touch of the branch hit his body. Luo Yunchen was secretly glad that he was well prepared, it was true, if it weren't for that set of ink scale armor blocking most of the power, he would probably have become a dead corpse.
"You guys go quickly!" Luo Yunchen shouted, and in the moment of his mind, the silver-edged sword had turned into a brilliant silver ray, slashing at a brown-black tentacle. The tentacles snapped at the sound, and before he could rejoice, the other three were wrapped around him and quickly tightened, slamming into the blood.
Luo Yunchen desperately urged his true power, but he still couldn't break free, and wanted to control the Silver Ridge Sword to save himself, but he was forcibly stopped by dozens of tentacles, and he didn't break free for a while.
"Yunchen!" Jiang Xiaoyue's expression was sad, a touch of unprecedented cold appeared on her beautiful face, her wrist shook, and a fan suddenly appeared in her hand, this fan was simple in shape, snow-white throughout, painted with wind and clouds, thunder and lightning on the front, and two strong characters written on the back. As soon as this fan came out, the wind and clouds changed color, the sky and the earth were dark, and they were slaughtered.
If Tian Lei was here, he would definitely be shocked that the Wind Thunder Fan, a famous attack treasure in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, would appear in the hands of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
The wind and thunder fan in Jiang Xiaoyue's hand slammed into it, and a purple lightning flashed away, and the latter slashed first on the hideous and terrifying head of the tree demon. This lightning looked inconspicuous at first glance, but when it struck the head of the dryad, it suddenly exploded, and an incomparable terrifying power swept through the four directions.
Prosperous!
With an earth-shattering bang, the dryad's head and its wildly dancing tentacles exploded, turning into dust and vanishing. A snow-white ribbon coiled one by one, wrapped around Luo Yunchen, and his arm was withdrawn, pulling him out of the terrifying explosion.
No one noticed that at the moment when the Dryad Dust disappeared, the ring ring around Luo Yunchen's neck trembled slightly, and an emerald green demon pill on the ground quietly disappeared.
Liu Yan and Qin Ling stood on the ground in a daze, their eyes wide open, and they looked at Jiang Xiaoyue with a stunned expression. The two of them could never have imagined that a girl who was elegant, holy and dignified turned out to be a profound immortal cultivator. In addition to being stunned, Liu Yan was also secretly glad that she had to be wise and chose to follow the three of them, otherwise most of Deng Zhi and the others would have died tragically in the hands of the Dryad now.
"Yunchen, how are you? Sit down quickly. Sister heals you. โ
Jiang Xiaoyue's mind moved, she withdrew the wind and thunder fan, shifted her position, hugged Luo Yunchen who fell down, gently put him on the ground, and asked anxiously.
"Sister Xiaoyue, I'm fine. A little recuperation would be fine. Luo Yunchen endured the severe pain, barely squeezed out a smile, released his divine thoughts, and put away the Silver Ridge Sword and the Soul Shattering Nail.
"It's all hurt like this, and I said it's okay. Jiang Xiaoyue looked at Luo Yunchen's bleeding back, her heart tingled, and she hurriedly took out two jade bottles from her arms, pulled out Luo Yunchen's ink scale armor, and gently sprinkled the white powder-like medicine in one jade bottle on the wound on her back, and then poured out a light green pill from another jade bottle for Luo Yunchen to swallow.
"Qin Ling, Liu Yan, you two take precautions, Yunchen's injury is not light, I want to heal him. โ
Qin Ling and Liu Yan looked at the two of them with strange expressions, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.
"What are you two doing there stupidly, don't hurry up to the neighborhood to guard. Jiang Xiaoyue saw that Qin Ling and Liu Yan didn't react, and her words were cold.
"Okay, let's go now. โ
On the ground, the seal in Jiang Xiaoyue's hand changed again and again, and milky white air currents emerged from his fingertips, and they continued to enter Luo Yunchen's body.
Luo Yunchen only felt that warm currents were penetrating from his back, and the pain in his chest was immediately reduced a lot.
After about half an hour, Jiang Xiaoyue slowly finished her work, stared at Luo Yunchen with beautiful eyes, and asked softly, "Yunchen, how do you feel now?"
Luo Yunchen smiled sweetly: "With Sister Xiaoyue here, Yunchen will be fine." โ
"Little ghost, you're an idiot. How powerful is the dryad, and you can stop it?Fortunately, my sister has some means, otherwise you would have to explain here. Promised my sister that she would not take any more risks in the future. Although Jiang Xiaoyue said this, there was a trace of sweetness in her heart.
Although the world is big, how many people are really willing to sacrifice their lives for others at the moment of life and death?
"Sister Xiaoyue, if you are safe and sound, I am reluctant to take risks. โ
"Little ghost, you're really pleasing people. A sweet smile appeared on Jiang Xiaoyue's elegant face.
When night falls, darkness envelops the whole world.
In the southeast of Wanteng Forest, on a relatively spacious ground, a bonfire was burning slowly, and there were two men and two women sitting around the bonfire, it was Luo Yunchen, Jiang Xiaoyue, Qin Ling, and Liu Yan.
