Chapter 4: Out of Illusion

When Xu Xuyang saw the corpse in front of him, he immediately bounced up, tripped over the root of the tree next to him with his left foot, and fell to the other side.

When he looked around, he found that he was in the back mountain, under the banyan tree, and he was lying on the raised roots of the banyan tree with the corpse buried yesterday.

"It's not that simple." Xu Xuyang shook his head to make himself sober, and rubbed his arms to warm himself up.

A sixteen-year-old boy who has been an evil breaker for a year, but some supernatural things happen to him, he still can't help but get goosebumps, but it's much better than the initial fuss.

The surrounding air was filled with a strong rancid smell, and Xu Xuyang covered his mouth and exhaled.

Looking up at the trees, the wind blew the leaves, and the leaves rustled, but the rustling sound was different from what I usually heard, as if mixed with the sound of crying.

I touched my pocket and found that I didn't have a spirit rune, he suddenly appeared on the back mountain, and naturally he didn't bring a tool kit or anything like that.

"Looks like I'm going to ask Master again." Xu Xuyang scratched his head, turned around and planned to go down the mountain, go back to the room first, and wait for Qiyun to appear before making plans.

The moment he turned around, a dark blue figure flashed through the banyan tree.

The road down the mountain is not long, and you can go out in a quarter of an hour at a normal speed, but Xu Xuyang walked for half an hour and found that he was still in the woods, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

"Damn." A punch broke the bark of a tree along the road, Xu Xuyang began to run forward, and five minutes later found himself back next to the tree that had been destroyed by himself, "It's a ghost hitting the wall!" ”

"Do you want me to help you?" The quiet female voice sounded in his ears, and Xu Xuyang felt a faint coolness in his ears.

Looking back, he saw that it was the girl who led him yesterday, her current appearance was different from yesterday, her expression was no longer wooden, and she was much more agile like a normal person, and her original light blue body turned into dark blue.

The girl approached Xu Xuyang step by step, and before Xu Xuyang could take precautions, he found that his body could not move, so he could only watch the girl approach him step by step.

Looking at the face that was magnified little by little, his eyes were unconsciously attracted by the tear mole under the girl's eyes, and he gradually lost consciousness.

······

"Cuckoo-cuckoo-" The cuckoo called softly, and the sunlight passed through the trees, spilled from between the leaves, and hit Xu Xuyang's face, slowly opening his eyes.

Seeing the familiar scene, Xu Xuyang guessed that he was back, returned to the big banyan tree, got up, and sure enough, he saw the familiar corpse.

But the difference is that there are a bunch of dried corpses in the outer circle of the banyan tree, which are placed around the banyan tree, all of them holding their heads and their jaws wide open, as if they have experienced something extremely terrifying.

And on the periphery of the dried corpse, the girl's soul was looking at him with a smile, and the tear mole under her right eye made her look particularly charming, and the rancid smell in the air increased again.

"Maybe I can go in a different direction." Xu Xuyang looked at the big banyan tree, "If it is the source of everything, then the exit should also be here." ”

With his left hand caressing the bark of the tree, his ear close to the trunk of the tree, and his right hand tapping, "It seems to be the sound of the wind, is the banyan tree hollow!" ”

"Click." Xu Xuyang tripped over the root of the tree without paying attention, and trampled on a hanging root, "This root is also hollow!" ”

"Impossible! The roots of the tree are hollow, why is this banyan tree still so lush? ”

"Isn't it?" Xu Xuyang ran to a dried corpse and lifted it up, but just raised its upper body fifteen degrees, and couldn't lift it up for another half a minute, and he saw that an arm-thick tree root was buried in the body.

"This tree is absorbing the lives of these people!"

"Yes." At this time, the girl's spirit came to the feet of the dry corpse, "Now, you too - become our fertilizer-"

Her voice was cold, originally a person's voice, but there was a overlapping sound in the back.

The voice is coming from behind! It's the banyan tree!

Suddenly, two thick branches stretched out towards the back of Xu Xuyang's neck, Xu Xuyang reacted quickly, and immediately rolled forward to dodge, but the branch chased after him, and grew branches to attack his head.

Xu Xuyang just wanted to retreat, but found that there was an invisible airflow behind him that wanted to bounce him away, and seeing that the sharp branch was about to shoot towards his head, Xu Xuyang adjusted the angle of force, so that the direction of the airflow bouncing him away changed.

"Hiss-" was the sound of the fabric tearing, and Xu Xuyang dodged the fatal attack, but his left shoulder was still cut by the branch.

At this moment, he saw clearly, several faces moaning in pain grew on the trunk of the tree, and a woman's body in the center slowly crawled out, and at the same time controlled the banyan tree to attack Xu Xuyang, her expression was wooden, she would not turn her head, she could only stare at Xu Xuyang's figure with her eyeballs.

"It's her!" Xu Xuyang found that the woman hanging out of the upper body looked exactly the same as the girl behind him.

No! No, the tear mole on the tree is under the left eye, the one who led me here, and the tear mole in the back is under the right eye, and the barrier that controls the banyan tree traps me here.

I can only gamble!

Without spirit runes, without metal, Xu Xuyang can't use alchemy, and Qiyun is not around, so he can only rely on himself here!

The branches were controlled by the soul on the tree, acting like a spirit snake, Xu Xuyang could only narrowly dodge, and the slightest trace of blood was scratched on his body, he ran around the outer circle of the giant tree, every three or four dried corpses, about five meters or so, paused, and moved to the blind spot of the soul on the tree, the soul on the tree would retract into the tree, and grow again from the other direction of the trunk, and the girl outside the enchantment would also move.

Xu Xuyang took advantage of these gaps to take a breather, and at the same time squeezed the wound on his left shoulder with his right hand, letting the blood soak his right palm, and at the same time wrote Jin Ming on the ground where he paused.

The speed of their attack was very fast, but after a pause, Xu Xuyang didn't have time to finish writing in the corresponding position, if it didn't work in one circle, he would run around the banyan tree again, and if it wasn't enough, he would come back again!

I don't know how long this tug-of-war lasted, Xu Xuyang stopped, and the undead seemed to have lost patience, controlling dozens of branches to shoot at him in unison.

"Heavenly Soul Dao, Special Department, Alchemy Carving, Thirty-seventh Soul Technique, Tree of Death!"

Seeing that the branch was about to penetrate Xu Xuyang, the earth shook and cracked, and the chains stretched out from the crack to bounce the sharp branches, and entwined the banyan tree, and the dark red iron chain burned with a blazing core flame, burning the souls on the banyan tree, and the souls let out a tearing roar, and they were gradually purified into specks of light at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ahem······" Xu Xuyang held his knees and gasped, looked up at the center, and used the soul technique of the Heavenly Soul Dao to drain all the soul factors in his body.

"There is only the effect of binding incineration, and it seems that the soul art has failed to activate."

Xu Xuyang felt a little sorry, this Heavenly Soul Dao Soul Technique was not taught to him by Qi Yun, but what he saw from the Foreknowledge Technique, it could be said that it was a trick used by himself in that parallel world, and the effect of destroying the world and destroying the world was not even one percent now.

If there is a spirit rune engraved with high-grade metal, the power will definitely be even higher, unlike now, where only a small amount of iron in the blood can be used to draw the golden underworld.

Although without the blessing of high-grade metal and rune paper, with his current strength, using the Heavenly Soul Dao Soul Technique is doomed to failure, but fortunately, the level of the Soul Technique itself is high enough, and the aftermath after defeat is more than enough to deal with this level of evil spirits.

"Nope! What are you doing? Stop it! The girl outside the barrier suddenly let out a terrible scream, and her face began to dissolve and corrupt.

"Put out the fire! Put out the fire! The moment the enchantment was torn, the girl dissipated and returned to the same place, and the next second she appeared in front of Xu Xuyang.

Before the exhausted Xu Xuyang could react, she threw himself to the ground, and the girl's cold hands clasped his neck.

"Stop! I'm still in there! I'm still in there! The girl's face was corrupted, and her eyes turned into dark hollows, "Why?" Why! I just want to live, I gnaw wood and drink dew every day, my fingers are wasted, my skin is rotten, I finally lived for so long, why burn me! Stop! Yes! ”

Feeling the force on his neck gradually increase, Xu Xuyang's vision blurred, but he knew that the undead spirit pressing on him was already chaotic.

With the last of his strength, he lifted his left hand and pressed it against the corrupted face, "Soul Ascension!" ”

"Ah!!h The corrupted revenant was bounced away, and it began to dissipate from the beginning.

Xu Xuyang also left a hand, in the tug-of-war just now, while he drew the golden inscription on the ground, he used blood to write the word 'return' on his left hand, which is the golden inscription that uses the most basic soul technique, the soul ascension technique.

Leave everything in one hand!

This is the first truth that Qi Yun taught him after becoming his master, the necromancers have a common attribute that is cunning, so as an evil breaker who specializes in dealing with them, he must do everything with one hand!

The coolness on his neck dissipated, Xu Xuyang gasped, ignoring the rancid smell around him, his vision did not become clear, the surroundings suddenly became white, the sky scattered small confetti blocked his vision, and he gradually lost consciousness······

"Heh, you're finally here." Qi Yun chuckled behind Xu Xuyang's back.

"Division······ Master! Consciousness returned, Xu Xuyang turned his head to look at Qiyun, "Master, where have you been?" Do you know that your apprentice, I almost passed it just now! ”

"You calm down first and see where you are now." Qi Yun smashed Xu Xuyang's head forward.

"This is the backyard?" Seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Xu Xuyang found that he had returned to the backyard, carrying the toolkit he had originally prepared behind his back, evening, backyard, toolkit······ When I turned on my phone, it was the time when I just set off!

Could it be that what happened before was all an illusion?
