In fact, there is no shortage of food in the Starlight Jungle, what is lacking is the eye that finds it. All kinds of berries, leaves, shoots, juices. The jungle is open to all visitors. The difference is only whether these visitors can understand her kindness.

There is no doubt that Little Flower Essence is a 'person' who understands the jungle very well. Or rather, she was part of the jungle. With her help, the patients in the team recovered quickly. And the harvest of collection is also increasing. Under her guidance, people learned how to distinguish poisonous plants and how to benefit from the goodness of nature.

But the biggest surprise of the little flower essence is not this, but the guide.

On the fifth day of entering the jungle, the party encountered the legendary jungle maze. A faint mist shrouded the surroundings, and no matter how they went, they would return to their original place. The pathfinder went out and never came back. Even the marks left by the old man will mysteriously disappear. By this time, the team was lost. Without a guide, their only outcome is to be trapped in the maze and die unknowingly.

At this time, the little flower spirit stood up again and sang to an ordinary-looking tree, and then something shocking happened. The skin of the tree actually began to wriggle, and a human-like face protruded.

"The Ghost Face Tree." Leah whispered, her face very unsightly.

This is a kind of demon that is very famous in the main material world, and it can be found in many myths and stories, but it plays a different role. The Ghostface Tree is not hostile to humans, but it has very bad habits. It likes to disguise itself as an ordinary tree.,Occupy a certain place in groups.,Intruders who don't know the truth will be trapped by them after entering.,Until a little bit of energy is sucked dry.。 After the death, the corpse can also absorb the essence blood, killing two birds with one stone.

There is no doubt that the Ghostface Tree is dangerous, but it is their predatory instinct and cannot be regarded as evil. Just as wolves eat meat and sheep eat grass, the Ghost Tree also uses this method to supplement their needs. And this habit and camouflage also protects them well, allowing them to avoid a large number of dangers.

As a side effect, it is very difficult to negotiate.

Think about it, how can people negotiate with the ghost-faced tree that always maintains its disguised form and does not even appear? And it doesn't use conventional demonic language, making negotiation even more of a luxury.

But now Xiaohuajing has become a bridge of communication, and I saw her happily singing and flying back, chattering a lot to Chen Yan.

"We can get over." Chen Yan said to the crowd around him. "But be careful, only follow the path left by the Ghost Face Tree."

"Yes, thank you, sir." An old man respectfully agreed. Then I saw the trees in front of me suddenly 'move', and hundreds of giant trees pulled out their root systems, opening a gap like living creatures.

"Oh God, so we're in the middle of them?"

"They've always been here?"

"Watch us, waiting to eat us?"

Everyone's faces changed. Because they had bypassed the trees before, and some of them were still booing under the trees and plucking out a few leaves. Who would have thought they were all demons? When people think of the rumors of the Ghost Face Tree, they feel weak on their heels and empty in their hearts.

Luckily, there are little flower essences.

Before you know it, people have accepted this little cutie who has just joined.

A faint mist still swirled around the jungle, and the procession began to move slowly. Chen Yan stayed at the end, watching everyone walk into the 'gap' left by the ghost face tree.

"Are you going to pay the price?" A voice sounded beside Chen Yan, it was Leah.

"Why do you say that?" Chen Yan asked with a smile.

"Because you haven't mentioned it." Leah replied softly, a twinkle in her eyes. "Don't say I don't understand, even if I don't learn as much as you, I still understand the basic rules of demon negotiation. No matter what kind of negotiation it is, there must be three parts: the issue, the price, and the contract. You only mentioned the issues and the outcome (the contract), but you didn't raise the price. ”

"This is the little one's negotiation, maybe you don't need a price?" Chen Yan said with a smile.

Chen Yan ...... I...... It's not a kid anymore. You don't have to worry about it, I can't take it......," Leah said. Then she turned around and came to a ghost tree next to her, and actually put her arm into the other person's mouth.

Chen Yan's gaze turned slightly cold, and he asked in a deep voice. "What are you going to do?"

"The predators of the Ghost Face Tree can gain energy and essence blood, but they cannot gain psionic energy." Leah replied. The gaze is very calm. "The only way to get the negotiation done is if you provide what they need. This is the last feeding. ”

Leah said as she lowered her arm deeper into the ground. Then the whole forest was in an uproar, and countless tendrils rolled underground, connecting the ghost-faced tree with the rest of the group. The ugly face of the Ghost Face Tree gradually distorted, and its eyes flashed with terrifying ghostly fire. Leah is going to establish a psionic channel, as long as she builds it, she can absorb Leah's psionic energy and satisfy her own **.

The soul is the eternal quest of the devil. For demons, the acquisition of psionic energy directly means evolution. And Leah obviously has to pay this qiē instead of Chen Yan.

Chen Yan finally sighed. "It doesn't have to be like this."

Psionic feeding is different from the other two feedings and is extremely damaging to the human body. If the other two kinds of feeding can still rely on time to slowly recover, then psionic feeding is much more troublesome, time cannot make up for the wound of the soul at all, and only some rare potions and personal evolution can be repaired.

Leah didn't want Chen Yan to lose her spiritual energy, but Chen Yan couldn't watch Leah do this.

"You know, I'm not a good person." Faced with Leah's insistence, Chen Yan shook his head. "So in a lot of things, I have more ways than you do."

"Really?" Leah opened her mouth slightly.

"Of course. The bad guys always know how to trade better than the good guys. Chen Yan suddenly walked to the grass next to him and dragged out the unconscious two people. He was a pathfinder who had been lost before. Chen Yan dragged them to the Ghost Face Tree, pulled Leah's hand out without looking, and then threw the two into the Ghost Face Tree's mouth.

"Yikes." Leah covered her mouth, a look of unbearability flashing in her eyes. "This ...... This can't work, you need to establish a channel for spiritual energy feeding, otherwise the demon can directly snatch it, what else do you need to trade? ”

"That's not for sure......" Chen Yan smiled slightly, but pointed his finger at the backs of the two of them, and then said to the ghost-faced tree. As long as there is a soul, it's fine...... You don't mind the taste or something, right? ”

The Ghostface Tree's face twisted for a moment, then swallowed the two men inside. It didn't react more, indicating that Chen Yan's price code had been tacitly accepted.

Chen Yan clapped his hands with satisfaction. He dragged Leah into the gap in the Ghostface Forest......

Behind him, the ghost-faced forest slowly closed and reverted to the appearance of an ordinary forest.

It's quiet, no one will know, the trees have just devoured two souls.
