"Hmph, yin and yang weird, it's just a dead ghost, I want to see how capable you are!" After Li Duoyi finished speaking coldly, he turned around and glanced at Ye Zixian, "Auntie, the cave is dark, the yin qi is very heavy, there must be resentful ghosts, I'll help you open your eyes first." ”

Ye Zixian nodded calmly. For opening her eyes, she had already experienced it the last time Wang Ruoxi was sent by a ghost, so she quickly prepared psychologically.

The so-called opening of the eyes, of course, is also the opening of the yin eyes, I saw Li Duoyi's left hand slowly scribbling in front of Ye Zixian, Ye Zixian felt a trace of cool air flow into her eyes, and then she felt that her eyes lit up, and she could vaguely see the scene in the cave.

"Auntie, follow me, leave everything in front to me, you just need to be careful behind your back."

"Hmm." Ye Zixian agreed and clenched the golden sword in her hand.

Li Duo raised his Dragon Soul Sword and pointed it into the cave, moving forward.

The further in, the darker the light, the heavier the breath of decay, as far as the eye can see, the space in the cave is getting wider and wider, the cave branches inside are more and more, the thick roots hang down from above and crisscross the cave wall, and there are clumps of roots intertwined under the cave wall, like a huge silkworm chrysalis.

Li Duoyi felt that something was wrong with these big silkworm chrysalis intertwined with the roots, so he subconsciously stopped and shouted: "Which evil animal was talking just now, Lao Tzu is coming in now, and there is a kind of word that has appeared!" ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw a large silkworm chrysalis closest to him, and suddenly a squeak was pulled open from it, and then a dry head came out of the mouth.

Despite his preparations, Li Duoyi still gasped.

Ye Zixian was so frightened that her mother screamed out. I saw that the withered head was only left with a thin layer of skin attached to the skull, and the hair on the top of the head had almost fallen out, leaving only a few strands of white hair hanging on both sides, and its eyelids, which were almost invisible, were dripping with two dead fish-like eyes, which were still moving, and the chin that was almost only left but still closed formed an extremely terrifying face.

"You guys are so bold, it's been years since a living person has come in from the outside, I miss the smell of living people so much, hahaha......" The voice of the dry head was very similar to what they had heard before, and in its eerie laughter, the other large silkworm chrysalis were also ripped open from the inside, revealing a dry grimace.

Perhaps due to the different ages, some of the grimaces have no skin and hair at all, only Bai Sensen's skeleton remains, some are similar to the one in front of them, and a few still look human, except for the pale complexion, the hair is still black. But without exception, they all turned their stiff necks and turned their faces at Li Duoyi and Ye Zixian.

Ye Zixian was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe, she felt that this place was even more terrifying than the legendary hell.

"Holy, what the hell is this? Is it a human or a ghost? Li Duoyi glanced at the depths of the cave, which was densely packed with this thing. They can be said to be ghosts, but their ghosts are not separated from their bodies; But if they are human beings, they can indeed move, but how can anyone live in such an environment?

So they can't be human either.

So what are they? Why is there human consciousness? So they're not zombies, because they can still speak human language, and this old thing on the outermost side still wants to eat human flesh?

In the end, Li Duoyi's eyes fell on those tree roots and the big silkworm chrysalis wrapped around them, and he said in his heart: "These tree roots must be the Tsubaki tree demon, and it must be this old demon who turned these people into monsters that are not human or ghost." ”

But why did the old dryad do this? Is it to feed these monsters and drive them?

Anyway? Since these monsters dare to eat living people, they must not stay in the world.

"Old thing, do you want to eat me?" Li Duoyi said and deliberately took two steps forward towards it.

"Shh............h

"Okay, but you have to taste my sword first......" Li Duoyi said, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose up, and at the same time, the dragon soul sword in his hand had already fished out and was directly inserted into the old monster's mouth.

"Whew......" The old monster roared halfway, and its head burst into flames, and then the large silkworm chrysalis that wrapped it was also ignited. A thick tree root connected to the silkworm chrysalis twitched and trembled.

Li Duo went down with his sword again and again, cutting off the thick roots, and black juice flowed out of it, which was extremely fishy.

The burning of the large silkworm chrysalis illuminated the hole, and the other monsters hurriedly retracted their heads when they saw that the situation was not good.

Li Duoyi glanced inside, turned back to Ye Zixian and said, "Don't be afraid, whoever dares to show his head will be killed." ”

With that, he took a step and continued inside.

His intuition told him that the monsters in these big silkworm chrysalis weren't really very aggressive. So he began to suspect that these guys couldn't help themselves when they became like this.

After walking straight inside for more than ten meters, the cave gradually turned into a cave hall, with similar caves on all sides, and each cave had tree roots and large silkworm chrysalis. If there is at least one corpse in each large silkworm chrysalis, then it all adds up to a lot.

However, since there are so many half-human and half-corpses, the corpse qi inside is not as heavy as imagined, coupled with what the old monster said just now, it said that the nutrients on its body have been sucked dry by the demon king, which shows that the corpses in these big silkworm chrysalis are not monsters raised by the Tsubaki tree king, but flower fertilizer that provides nutrients for it.

Therefore, the corpse qi was absorbed by the Tsubaki Tree King, so it was able to quickly recover its powerful mana after encountering the Thunder Tribulation.

"Young man, kill me too, let me be free......"

A hoarse man's voice suddenly sounded next to him, Li Duo heard the voice, only to see a gray-haired, wrinkled man desperately stretched the big silkworm chrysalis with his hands, he struggled forward while talking, but his back was like being dragged by something, he couldn't leave the big silkworm chrysalis that was intertwined by countless thin roots.

Li Duoyi snorted coldly: "I just said, whoever dares to show his head will be killed, since you want to die, I will fulfill you!" ”

Just as the Dragon Soul Sword was about to stab the man's face, he suddenly shouted with all his strength, "Please wait. ”

Li Duoyi's hand shook, and he subconsciously swung his sword to the ground, because he saw that the man was holding something in his dry palm.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to ask you to do me a favor before I die, help me pass this pocket watch to my daughter, and by the way, help me with a word to tell her that I still want to be her father in the next life."

"Oh?" Li Duoyi was suddenly a little touched, and without saying a word, he took the thing from his hand, it was a pocket watch, he pressed the upper end with his hand, the cover of the watch popped open, and there was a photo of a girl inside.

"Xu Rou?"
