Chapter 64: Mrs. Tai's Mountain
Bai Buluo had never seen such a situation, and only felt a strange and gloomy aura surging towards them, making her, who had died once, unable to help but have an indescribable fear.
Su Mu touched some blood from the trunk of the tree, then took out a wooden plate from his arms and touched the blood in his hand to the wooden plate.
He didn't know what was reading in his mouth, not only did Bai Buluo not understand, but Su Zhenyu couldn't understand it either. Only Su Yu heard what Su Mu was reading, as if he knew something, and his entire eyebrows became solemn.
When Su Mu's voice stopped and put away the wooden plate, Su Yu's face was a little better, and he asked Su Mu, "She raised a tree on the corpse?" ”
"Hmm." Su Mu nodded,
"These tree paths are already very deep, and some of them are beginning to have the ability to think."
"And what happens if they have the ability to think?" Bai Buluo felt that his tongue and teeth began to become a little uncoordinated, and he would always bite together.
Su Zhenyu didn't understand it before, but now it is generally clear, so he explained to Bai Buluo: "Trees planted on top of the corpse will multiply the resentment, and with the spirituality of the trees, it will form something like a demon, and if a pedestrian passes around it, it is easy to be confused by it." ”
"Like we're trapped by it now?" Bai Buluo looked at the steep stairs below and asked again. Su Jianyu said: "Not only that, only those who are shallow in the Tao will use this way to confuse pedestrians, and those who are really deep in the Tao may turn into human form and do some very terrifying and weird things." ”
"For example?"
"For example, seducing passers-by, or killing them directly, and some perverts may have a habit of cannibalism." Su Yu said, feeling that Bai Buluo in his arms hugged him tighter, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes.
Su Zhenyu saw that he deliberately scared Bai Buluo, shook his head, and threw Su Mu a look, meaning
"Look at your brother's character." Su Mu's expression did not completely relax, and he said in a serious voice: "Pay more attention, there are a lot of them here, if we can't go out before dark, we will be in trouble." ”
"You mean, if we toss a little longer, we will have to spend the night with Mrs. Tai?" Su Jinyu gritted his teeth unhappily.
Su Yu snorted and said, "Staying overnight with her may not be safe to spend the night in this forest, you still don't know the old witch well enough." ”
"But she's so powerful, why is she so afraid of you?" Bai Buluo raised his head from Su Yu's arms.
Su Yu rubbed the top of her head, and said compassionately: "Because as long as I'm happy, I can burn her mountain flat with a fire, and burn her to death in it, she dares to make me angry, try it!" ”
"My young master, you can take it easy, we are now on other people's territory, and your fire is enough to burn us inside." Su Jinyu patted Su Yu on the shoulder and followed Su Mu upward.
Bai Buluo also hurriedly pulled Su Yu to follow, however, after walking for nearly an hour, the situation still did not improve at all, they obviously kept walking to a high place, but there was no end in sight to the stairs.
"Is there any way to crack it?" Bai Buluo became more and more uneasy as he walked, only feeling that the temperature on his body was getting lower and lower, and it looked like a small hill that was not very high, but at this moment, it was like walking on Changbai Mountain, which made people tremble.
But the strange thing is that only Bai Buluo seems to be like a dog, and the others are fine, and in the end, Su Yu has to wrap Bai Buluo tightly in her arms to make her a little more comfortable.
"We must find a leading corpse tree and communicate with him." Su Mu said, looking back at Bai Buluo in Su Yu's arms, a hint of distress flashed in his eyes.
Su Yu was also impatient, he rubbed his white hair, and said gently: "No, you bear with it first, I'll come to find the leading corpse tree." As he spoke, he pushed Bai Buluo into Su Mu's arms, and then took the knife from Su Mu's hand.
"Brother, won't you blame me for what I do?" Su Yu circled the knife in his hand, and without waiting for Su Mu to answer, he directly turned around and inserted the knife into a cedar tree behind Su Jinyu.
That tree must have been a good one, and the trees that Su Mu had scratched before did not shake in the slightest, but this tree trembled very much.
"We don't know who the lead corpse tree is, you know, right?" Su Yu's voice was not as clear as usual, and it sounded extremely hollow, as if it resonated with the entire mountain.
After he finished speaking, the knife in his hand slashed all the way down to the root of the tree. The further the knife went, the more the tree trembled.
When he could no longer make a stroke, he pulled out his knife and cut off all the branches around the tree.
Immediately afterwards, a thicker tree was replaced, and the same knife was inserted, and it was slashed in the direction of the root. Su Mu's long knife was sharp and tough enough, and with Su Yu's sudden burst of strength, he could cut through a tough old tree, just like cutting a cucumber.
The tree was more spiritual than the previous one, and when it went down, it not only trembled desperately, but also made a strange sound.
It's like the screams of a beast when it's torn apart, the taste of pain, as if others can feel it when they hear it.
When Su Yu pulled out his long knife and was about to attack the third tree again, Su Mu suddenly shouted, "Su Yu, stop, it has something to say." With that, Su Mu let go of Bai Buluo and came to a cedar tree that was not too thick, he put his hand on the trunk, took out the wooden plate from his arms, and whispered a few words in his mouth, and then there was a silence.
"This way!" Su Mu put away the wooden plate, left the bluestone path, and walked deeper into the woods. Soon, they saw a very small, very thin sapling.
Su Yu took the long knife and made two gestures on the sapling, and said, "This is the leading corpse tree?" Is it better to dice or slice? In a word, the little tree immediately began to tremble.
Suddenly, the outer skin of the little tree began to change slightly, gradually taking on the shape of a human face, which looked like a child of three or five years old.
The child's face moved slightly, and he said, "Why don't you people talk about morality at all? Where are you going, can I just point it to you? It's also diced and sliced, and I can't eat it. Su Jianyu chuckled, scraped the little face with the sharp claws in his hand, and joked: "If you were so well-behaved, those trees wouldn't have suffered so much, you, you are afraid of evil!" The child seemed to be angered by Su Jianyu, and his originally small eyes suddenly bulged, as if he was glaring at Su Jinyu.
Bai Buluo was trying to ask Su Zhenyu to say a few words, so as not to really make this little tree anxious and make trouble if he refused to let us out.
As a result, before the words could be spoken, a strong wind suddenly blew from all directions, and then I saw that the small tree in front of me quickly grew like a balloon, and within a few seconds, it became an old tree that was difficult for four people to embrace.
Even the child's face on the trunk of the tree instantly turned into the appearance of an old man with angry hair.
"Hahaha!" It let out a terrible laugh, like an angry demon,
"Aren't you just trying to get out of here? Impossible, I'll let it go unless ordered to do so by that person. Otherwise, you'll either have what it takes to destroy me, or, huh! Destroyed by me. ”
"Su Jinyu, which one do you choose?" Su Yu asked Su Zhenyu next to him with a rare smile, as if before he could speak, the two of them had already stood on the same front.
Su Jianyu raised his chin, his expression was flamboyant and sickly, he shook his sharp claws and said, "Master, I have eaten too much meat, I want to be vegetarian today, I don't know if the blood of the pine tree will be delicious!" With that, his sharp claws slammed into the dry and rough bark, and he pulled it downward, and he peeled off a large chunk of the bark.
The gushing blood covered a large area of the ground. But the old tree was not easy to deal with, it let out a wild roar, and then several people felt a jolting sensation on the ground beneath their feet, and a large number of tree roots suddenly protruded from under the ground almost in two seconds.
Those roots are thick and thin, and the thin ones are only as thin as fans, but the thick ones are twice as thick as Su Yu's waist.
They are like whips and blades, and wherever they go, the earth cracks and stones turn into slag. Su Jinyu and Su Yu were forced out far away at once, and they could no longer touch the trunk of the tree, so they could only fight with these roots.
However, these roots are endless, cutting one and a new one will come out. Su Mu hugged Bai Buluo and hid farther away, he watched the entire battle situation quietly, as if he was looking for a flaw in the old corpse tree.
At this moment, Su Yu suddenly loosened his feet, and the entire ground collapsed in half. Su Mu didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped over and grabbed Su Yu and lifted him up.
The long knife in Su Yu's hand began to become hot as if it was alive. After a tremble, he took off Su Mu's hand and flew back to Su Mu's hand like a sharp arrow.
"Su Yu, go and protect Bai Buluo!" Su Mu gave an order, followed by a light step, bypassing the flying roots like a dragon a few times, and quickly rushed to the old corpse tree.
The moment he arrived, the knife in his hand was like a flying meteor, and it suddenly cut a deep scar on the old corpse tree.
The old corpse tree was even more angry when it suffered a loss, waving its roots to besiege Su Mu. But the knife in Su Mu's hand seemed to have the same vitality, swinging flexibly between intersperses, bypassing all the roots to catch the immobile trunk of the old corpse tree.
For a moment, the old corpse tree was scarred and bleeding all over the ground, but it could only let out an angry but painful howl.
Su Mu was dominant over there, and the surroundings of the three people here became a little calmer. Su Zhenyu licked the blood on his paws, and said with a not very good-looking expression: "It's actually still sweet, it seems that it's not just as simple as a tree spirit, this old guy is going to become a demon." ”
"What?" Bai Buluo couldn't help but look at Su Mu worriedly. Although his movements were flexible and his moves were powerful, the old corpse tree did not have much substantial impact, but his anger was increasing.
"Don't fall, you obediently hide away and don't move, Su Jinyu and I will go up to help Su Mu." Su Yu said and took Bai Buluo a lot farther away, until he reached a range that would not be affected by the roots at all before stopping.
Bai Buluo nodded, looked at the dagger that Su Yu pulled out from his waist, and reminded: "Be careful, if it really doesn't work, let's think of other ways, don't fall in love." ”
"I see." Su Yu and Su Jinyu joined the battle, making Su Mu more comfortable. The old corpse tree couldn't even see the color of its bark in the blink of an eye, only bright red blood was covered, and it looked extremely cautious from a distance.
Bai Buluo is always helpless at this time, after all, as an ordinary person, he is really not good at fighting, and this kind of thing is not something that can be learned by eating a fruit on TV, it takes a long time of training and accumulation.
If the other party is really a person, it's okay, the resentful woman pinching the widow and scratching the shrew and scolding the street can be a little useless, but the current opponent is a tree, and the knife can't be cut, what can she do?
Is it bald strong, please?
