Chapter 112: Appearing

Zizi Ziziβ€”β€”β€”β€”

The vial carrying the wood repellent water is made of glass, which is crystal clear and can refract the light, so that you can clearly see the liquid rolling like boiling water in the inner bottle!

Glass crafts are from overseas, Li Yonggan and others have never seen them, they can't help but have a trace of amazement in their eyes, and then look at Meng Fanshi, even more expect the answer he said.

However, Meng Fan sighed, his face was slightly dark, as if it was complicated in his heart.

After all, it's hard to explain the cause and effect.

...

...

This matter needs to start with Kogi Hachitani.

Thirty-five years ago, Kogi Hachiya Lang was shipwrecked and exiled to Zhongzhou, but fortunately Li Hongliang, the head of Lizhuang Village, saved his life and received ten taels of silver from him, so he could open a sushi restaurant in Aoki County.

With this unique craft, Kogi Hachiya Lang did not starve to death on the streets, and for decades, he gradually spread out in Aoki Prefecture.

In a flash, it was time for the hunting race.

Before the start of the competition was imminent, and before the team was about to go to Aoki County, Li Hongliang had instructed Meng Fanke to go to the county to find Xiaomu Hachigulang.

Meng Fan didn't think much of this, until he saw the three big characters "Shinshincho" written on the signboard at the door of Kogi Hachiguro's store, and suddenly breathed rapidly, realizing that this person might have a big background.

Sure enough, after dealing with Kogi Hachitani, Meng Fan learned that he was really from Shinshin Town, Japan.

What corner of this Shin Machi is that can surprise Meng Fan? There will be a narrative later, but for the time being, let's talk about the secret luck in the mouth of Kogi Hachiguro.

It turns out that Kogi Hachitani knows a huge secret in the Aoki Valley.

This secret is unprecedentedly related to the maze of tree alleys, but for him to reveal this news, he needs to hunt hyena eyeballs, lion king lion whips, and wild boar king raw meat.

What is the secret that can be linked to spirit animals?

There must be a big article in this!

The so-called wealth and danger is that even during the hunting competition, Meng Fan still took two days to complete this task.

Unexpectedly, after obtaining the materials, Kogi Hachiya Lang rebelled, and Mont Vendon was furious and drew his sword against him.

Xiaomu Hachiya Lang couldn't stand the intimidation, and finally recruited truthfully: it turned out that these fierce beast organs and raw meat were all materials used to make wood-repellent water. The purpose of making the wood repellent water is to deal with the trees that have plagued the Aoki Valley for many years!

According to Kogi Hachiguro, the tree monster is the elf trained by the companion in the past, but this companion died in a shipwreck, and the tree monster is uncontrolled, after entering Zhongzhou, the tree monster fled into the Aoki Valley, not only occupying the mountain as the king, but also for the disaster in the township, killing many past hunters in the past few decades, and becoming an evil demon tree!

Meng Fan suddenly realized, no wonder the Aoki Illustrated Book could not identify who was lurking in the tree alley, but it was a species that broke in from overseas, and naturally no one could know its identity.

Of course, Meng Fan was also skeptical of Kogi Hachigulang's words.

There are two concerns:

One: Why did the tree flee into the Aoki Valley for no reason and occupy the mountain as the king.

Two: And in my memory, the tree monster just likes to change the shape of the tree to play tricks on humans, but in fact, his nature is not bad, how can he suddenly hate humans and kill them?

Looking at Xiaomu Hachigulang's thief's eyebrows, Meng Fan didn't dare to believe it, but in addition to getting the information of the tree and the [Wood Driving Water], Meng Fan also got a very valuable [Poke Ball].

As for the functions of [Wood Repellent Water] and [Poke Ball], Meng Fan has no doubt about him, because Kogi Hachiya Lang is from Shinshin Town, Japan.

If you want to say that this is really a new town, the population is only 3,000, and the scale may not be as large as Li Zhuang.

But in terms of fame, it is the birthplace of Ash, the protagonist of the PokΓ©mon world.

In this world, Japan's animal taming civilization is very developed, at least a few scientific and technological levels ahead of Zhongzhou, which can be seen from the [Wood Repellent Water] and [Poke Ball], there is no such high-tech thing in Zhongzhou.

On the other hand, the people of Zhongzhou call the elves as spirit beasts and regard them as gods, but in the eyes of the Japanese, the elves can be trained and adopted, and the domesticators of the elves are known as the beast tamers, which shows that the level of animal taming between the two sides is very different.

For this information, Meng Fan didn't plan to say more, and only mentioned the identity of Xiaomu Hachigulang as an overseas stranger.

There are thousands of information flashing in his mind, turning a thousand times, but Meng Fan's thoughts are electric, and in the eyes of others, he is just stunned for a while.

The others saw Meng Fan pause for a while, and then heard his voice:

"Before leaving, the old village chief Li Hongliang asked me to visit a foreigner in Aoki County, but I didn't expect this person to be well-informed and knew that there was a tree demon named 'Tree Monster' in the tree maze, and gave me a bottle of [Wood Repellent Water], which can effectively suppress this tree demon......"

The transaction between Meng Fan and Kogi Hachiya Lang is not enough for outsiders, and after a little embellishment of the dirty process, a long story is short.

For what Meng Fan said, everyone was extremely surprised by its contents, who would have thought that an old man from a foreign country would have such important information!

Li Yongyong was shocked, and said angrily: "Meng Er, why did you know such important news before and didn't report it, is it a secret selfishness?" ”

was broken by Li Yongyong's words, Meng Fan's face was silent, and he secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't tell the matter of [Poke Ball], otherwise I knew that I had a wood repellent and a baby to subdue the elves, and this crime of monopolization would be confirmed!" ”

Meng Fan really coveted the tree, especially after seeing its ability, it was even more inevitable.

He is well aware that his situation in the real world is like fire and water, and the simulator's battery is about to run out, and if he does not return to reality without strong foreign help, it is very likely that he will not survive the next military pursuit.

You have to get the tree!

Even if you tear your face, you don't hesitate!!

Meng Fan added a lot of chips to this idea in his heart.

Everyone didn't know that Meng Fan's mind had traveled between two worlds at this moment, but after seeing him ponder for a while, he asked rhetorically: "Assuming that it weren't for today's predicament, Li Yongyong, would you believe that there is a tree demon hidden in the tree maze?" Will you believe that a powerful dryad will be restrained by a bottle of potion? ”

Although the Tree Monster is called a Dryad, it is still a powerful spirit beast, and it has never been heard of a potion that can restrain a spirit beast.

In addition, no matter how strong Meng Er is, it is impossible to deal with it on his own.

Thinking about this, Li Yongyong's face was slightly waxed, but without waiting for him to reply, Meng Fan took the first step and said: "I thought that this old man was talking about it, and he didn't take it seriously, and he was busy preparing for the hunting competition, and he forgot it for a while, isn't it human nature?" ”

"I..."

Li Yongyong was caught off guard by several strong questions that came one after another, he wanted to speak and stopped, and he regretted secretly blaming Meng Fan in his heart.

Li Yong dared to interject on the side: "Meng Er, don't be angry, Ah Yong is just anxious because he has been trapped in this ghost place for a long time, and he didn't mean to speculate maliciously about you." ”

"It's me who is not good, Meng Er..."Li Yongyong said with a simple patting on the back of his head.

Meng Fan shook his head slightly, a trace of guilt flashed in his heart, but he immediately hid it again.

"I don't blame you, it's also my responsibility to do this."

Meng Fan said sadly: "Before that, I didn't take Xiaomu Hachigulang's words to heart, until the team fell into a maze and couldn't leave it, and then I suddenly remembered this stubble. So it's also my fault, if I had found out about the abnormality earlier, maybe Youyi wouldn't have died. ”

mentioned Li Youyi's death, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Meng Er, you don't have to blame yourself too much, if you want to say who is responsible for Youyi's death, my old fu can't escape the relationship." Li Yongfu beat his chest and shouted: "I am to blame for Youyi's death, if I hadn't incited him to climb that damn tree, he wouldn't have fallen to his death."

But now is not the time to discuss responsibility, how to break the mystery of this demon tree, smash its nest, cut it into seventeen or eighteen pieces and burn it to ashes, and comfort Yi's spirit in the sky, is the most important thing to do at the moment!! ”

"Li Yongfu is right, we are bound to kill this dryad!"

"It doesn't matter if it's strong or not, if it can't break this tree demon's demon magic for a while, I'll set fire to the forest and burn it to ashes!"

Li Yongfu's words stirred up a thousand waves, now that he knew what the enemy was facing, everyone was no longer hesitant and afraid, and the killing intent in their hearts was rekindled.

Li Yongfu said: "Meng Er, you quickly tell the truth in detail, so that we can know why, I want to know, this tree is strange, whether it really has three heads and six arms, and dares to murder us!" ”

"Yes, yes, I can't wait to meet this dryad for a while!"

"Meng Er, don't sell it, say it quickly." The crowd urged Meng Fandao.

Meng Fan saw that Li Yongfu returned to the topic in one sentence, and no one asked him any more questions, so he was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly said, "This old fortune is really his own lucky star."

At that moment, I went through the clue again, and said in a deep voice: "I told everyone before, I didn't know that we were stuck in a tree maze at first, but I thought that we had entered a forest with a more complex and changeable terrain, and in order to prevent getting lost, I made marks in different forests. ”

Meng Fan didn't say much about these things that had already been described before, and jumped straight to the point: "The reason why I realized that something was maliciously tailgating, and even saw through the whole puzzle, was because I interpreted the inscription!" ”

"You mean Liu Chaosheng's stele?" Li Yong raised his eyebrows.

"That's right!"

Meng Fan nodded and said: "The content in front of the inscription is not difficult to understand, but whether it is Liu Chaosheng's intrigue, killing and eating people, these are not important. The message that Liu Chaosheng really left was after he went crazy. ”

"After going crazy?" Li Yong dared to be a little surprised.

"Strictly speaking, it should be the words he left behind half-crazy and half-awake for me to see through all this."

"What?"

Not only Li Yongdang was alone, everyone frowned after hearing this.

Madness is madness, how can we be between sobriety and madness?

Li Yong dared to ask puzzledly: "How do you understand this?" ”

Meng Fan said: "Do you remember the content of the stele? Since the seventeenth, Liu Chaosheng has killed everyone, and he is the only one who has survived, so on the nineteenth day, it was written that nothing happened for three consecutive days. ”

"Hmm-" Li Yong dared to recall for a moment, nodding slightly, "There seems to be such a fragment." ”

"Oops!"

Li Yongfu slapped his forehead and said, "I can forget all the things written on the stele." ”

This situation is not only Li Yongfu, the incident happened suddenly, and no one could write down the content of the inscription in a hurry.

"Brothers, don't panic!"

Li Yongfan took out a notebook from his arms at this time and said: "The younger brother felt that the record of the stone tablet was very strange and strange, so he recorded it so that it was convenient to go back and investigate, but I didn't expect it to come in handy." ”

Before the words fell, the book had been taken away by Li Yongfu, "I can't go back, I have to say it again, but you really helped my brother a lot!" ”

Spreading out the paper, Li Yongfu glared and said, "Huh! What an ugly word! ”

The handwriting on the note was scribbled, but on closer inspection, it was barely recognizable:

[Seventeen, nothing.]

Eighteen, nothing

Nineteen, nothing

Twenty, why hasn't Senior Brother come back to me?

Twenty-four, and the last person to speak to me is gone.

Twenty-five, no one around, I'm going crazy!

Twenty-six, I'm really going crazy, it's impossible to get out of the maze anyway, it's better to die...... I decided to get out of here, even if I died on the way.

Twenty-seven, after a spin, I'm back again.

Suddenly I found that there were a lot of people, with them with me, I didn't feel lonely at all, they didn't blame me at all, really.

Twenty-eighth, they told me that the elder brother and the senior sisters were already dead.

I'm going to die here, too.

Twenty-nine, so hungry that I have no desire to eat, there is no one around me, and the whole world is only me.

No, there's a pair of eyes staring at me.

Thirty, they came back and spoke to me.

I see, I understood, but it was too late. 】

Just as everyone was reading the notes one by one, Meng Fan said with a stumbling face:

"You look at the seventeen to nineteen in the notes, Liu Chaosheng has recorded nothing in the past three days, which shows that his living conditions at that time were extremely boring."

Li Yongfu scolded disdainfully: "Liu Chaosheng, this guy who is not as good as a beast, is a cocoon to bind himself, kill people and eat meat, and finally eat the consequences of himself!" And he hopes that his senior brother can come to save him, phew! Wish for the moon!! ”

Meng Fan ignored Li Yongfu and continued the previous topic: "Have you noticed anything?

Liu Chaosheng wrote nothing in the seventeenth and nineteenth rooms, but since the twentieth day, he did not leave a word for three consecutive days, and it was not until the twenty-fourth day that he wrote down the contents again. ”

"I've found out about this before," Li Yongfan said, "has something big happened in the past three days?" ”

Meng Fan shook his head, "What happened in the past three days, and why Liu Chaosheng broke the record, I haven't figured it out until I understand the following text, I don't understand, this blank paragraph is actually a logical thing." ”

"What do you mean?" Everyone was puzzled.

"It's not hard to speculate." Meng Fan replied: "You look at Liu Chaosheng's remarks after that, from the twenty-fourth to the twenty-seventh, Liu Chaosheng returned to the same place after sparing the woods, which was originally an empty place, and many people suddenly appeared, not only forgave him, but also talked to him.

Who are these people?

It can be seen from Liu Chaosheng's words that they should be the Mozhuang people who were killed by Liu Chaosheng. But in fact, these tragic deaths do not exist, and they will not choose to forgive Liu Chaosheng. It can be seen that they are nothing more than Liu Chaosheng's fantasies, to make up for the loopholes in his black heart that appeared after the extinction of humanity and conscience. ”

The words of a man who are dying are good, and the sound of a bird is sad.

Liu Chaosheng was not a heinous person, he felt guilty about the people in Mo Zhuang, otherwise he would not have imagined that these people would forgive him.

"The person in Mozhuang has actually become a mutilated corpse, these are just Liu Chaosheng's imaginations. It can be seen that Liu Chaosheng's consciousness was already very chaotic at this time, and the continuous blows made him nervous, oh, that means he was crazy. ”

"Makes sense." Li Yong dared to second: "In this way, the reason why Liu Chao left no record in the first three days of his life is probably because his spirit is not normal, he has no food and companions, and he sits and waits for death, which must be unbearable for a normal person." ”

Liu Chaosheng seemed to live in the soil of black death, and despair and fear were like nutrients like bacteria multiplying rapidly, and finally swallowing Liu Chaosheng's consciousness, all of which could almost be imagined, because this was also the desperate situation they were about to face.

Meng Fan shook his head and said, "I originally thought the same way, but it wasn't until I completely figured it out that I guessed another possibility..."

As soon as his voice changed, everyone was terrified!

Perhaps, in the three days that were not recorded in the twenty to twenty-four years, Liu Chaosheng not only did not collapse, but his consciousness was very clear. The reason why he didn't dare to write the content was because he found the truth! ”

"So, what's the truth?" Li Yongfu suddenly stammered a little.

"The truth is that the tree monster has been secretly peeking on him!!" Meng Fan said with a gloomy face, he quietly glanced behind him, and there seemed to be light and shadow flickering in the afterglow.

"What?!"

Li Yongdang and the others were shocked.

Meng Fan's eyes flickered, "This is also mentioned at the back of the inscription, you pay attention to the content after the twenty-seventh."

After Liu Chaosheng turned back to the same place, the people of Mozhuang forgave Liu Chaosheng and told him that the senior brother and others had died. But in fact, Liu Chaosheng didn't know the situation of the senior brother, these were just projections of the thoughts in his heart.

Before that, I thought Liu Chaosheng was crazy, but on the twenty-ninth day, he wrote that there was no one around him, but at the end he found a pair of eyes staring at him, if he was really crazy, how could he notice these eyes? ”

"Meng Er, how can I hear you get goosebumps." Li Yongfan said, involuntarily looking around, as if there was also a pair of eyes peeping at him.

Li Yongfu asked impatiently: "Is this Liu Chaosheng really crazy or fake crazy?" ”

"Call it a black cat and a white cat, a cat that can catch mice, it's a good cat!"

"What black and white hair?"

Meng Fan's words that are not related to the wind and horses are confusing, but it is too late to say that it is fast, and in an instant, he splashed all the wood repellent water in his palm on the back of his head!

The liquid that was still tumbling in the glass bottle one second was floating in the air in a line the next second, but it didn't fall on the strange tree, but on the empty space.

As soon as everyone's hearts "chuckled", before they heard the truth, they subconsciously thought that they were going to be finished, and they wanted to cry without tears: Meng Er, you are blind, you can splash mistakes at such a close distance? !

This moment was so fast, so fast that a complete thought flashed, so fast that they had the thought of strangling Meng Fan to death.

Boom –

But it was a flat thunder!

The liquid that should have quietly burrowed into the ground burst out with a deafening sound the moment it touched the ground.

The whole earth seemed to tremble violently.

Boom Boom –

After stabilizing his figure, he looked ahead, and saw that the heavens and the earth had changed color in vain!!

The afterglow of the setting sun was hidden somewhere, replaced by a thick darkness as thick as ink, so dark that it was so close that it seemed like a black cloud without boundaries was pressed three feet overhead.

The earth is like a resilient canvas being constantly pulled and extended, and as far as the eye can see, there is a misplaced vision, as if the earth under your feet has given birth to legs, and it is constantly running towards the distance with itself.

"Look at that!" I don't know who shouted.

Hundreds of meters away, a dirt slope suddenly rose from the ground, and a strange tree with black flames swayed wildly at the top of the dirt slope, and the sharp and piercing sound was its howl of pain!

The tree is weird, and it finally appears.
