Chapter 012: The Sea of Phantom Trees Seven
Zhen Shifeng originally thought that the appearance of the military shovel would change after returning to the reality of the script, but he didn't expect that the appearance of the human arm was quite terrifying, which really made people have to shout: Daddy!
"Huh...... Hehe...... Would you believe me if I said it was actually a military shovel? ”
"Do you think I'll believe it?"
"Probably...... Maybe...... Possible...... No! Zhen Shifeng decisively put away the 'arm' shovel, and quickly changed the topic: "Little beauty, you must mourn and change, just now, your brother ......" As he spoke, he suddenly wiped his nose and his voice became choked, "Your brother and his ...... It's gone, Brother Dehua, my good brother, God has been unfair to you, ah, ah. ”
"It's crazy, your ability to change the subject is bad enough, you don't even have a start and a turn in the middle, and you're too pretentious......... Also, don't call me a little beauty anymore, okay, it looks like a little kid who hasn't even grown teeth yet. He was very contemptuous.
"Uh......... Can you weakly ask, your old man is old this year? ”
"Fourteen, do you have an opinion?"
"Nima, that's not a little kid!" After hearing this, Zhen Shifeng first walked to the tree beside him stupidly, slammed his head twice, and then wiped the blood on his forehead with his hand very calmly, and said helplessly: "Then again, your current image is really very different from the good girl just now, tsk, you have the potential of a female man." ”
"My brother was here just now, so I want to behave like a lady, now I ......" He glanced at Zhen Shifeng coldly, with a slight chill in his eyes, "Since you are here, forget it, forgive me for not daring to make a small report to my brother." ”
Hearing this, Zhen Shifeng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Could it be that I said something wrong?" This is not the potential of a female man, but the potential of a cold-blooded beauty killer? ”
"Forget it, it's useless to talk to you, there are less than twenty minutes before the time limit, and the demon suppression bell is probably still in the hands of Liu Ming. It's better for us to go and find ...... now" However, before the curling girl finished speaking, the system prompt suddenly sounded:
[Task 2 has been completed, and the main quest is being refreshed]
[Task 3: Waiting ......]
"Uh...... Mission 2 completed? The curly girl was slightly stunned, and it took a while to react.
"It is estimated that Xiao Ming has brought the Demon Suppression Bell back to the grave, but why is this task three still waiting?" Zhen Shifeng's doubts are not justified, and task three is waiting, which means that it needs to be refreshed after a specific plot advancement. But this kind of plot twist often carries contradictory and dangerous additional factors, and the slightest carelessness can cause irreparable consequences, which is the last thing he wants to see.
At this point, the two of them decided to rush to the grave to meet Xiao Ming first, and then discuss things related to 'Mission 3' and the activation of the circle.
As the saying goes, if there is a word, the book is short if there is no word, since there is nothing unusual in the middle, then let's jump the time directly to the meeting of the three people.
However, not long after the three of them met, they heard a rumbling sound coming from the periphery of the tomb. When I looked closely, I saw two towering trees with thick trunks and no branches suddenly emerging from the ground, and then the giant trees trembled violently, and contracted rapidly at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye, two wooden figures with human appearances were formed. There is no doubt that these two 'people' are the fat face and the thin face tree spirit who were assigned the task before.
"Humanity, you have not let us down. You must know that the illusion in the forest is quite powerful, and there have been several groups of humans before, but in the end, none of them returned. And you have recaptured the Demon Suppression Bell at the cost of only one person, which is really impressive. The slimming face tree spirit changed his previous cold and arrogant attitude and praised it greatly.
"Two door gods, although I have brought this demon suppression bell, I don't know if I should return it to the two of you now, or?" The main purpose of Xiao Ming's question is to trigger the next plot of the script through dialogue, so as to unlock the relevant content of task three.
"It's useless to us, why don't you bother you again, put this demon bells back on top of the magic circle in the tomb so that it can be reactivated, and we can ascend to heaven as soon as possible, and you can leave this forest smoothly, how about it?"
After hearing this, Zhen Shifeng suddenly stood up, swept the two wooden people in front of him with a squint of his eyes, and wondered: "Then why don't you put the demon suppression bell back in person, but ask us 'unreliable' humans to do it?" ”
"Uh........." The fat-faced tree spirit was really asked, and the thin face on the side coughed lightly twice, and quickly explained: "It's not that we don't want to do it ourselves, it's just that the range of activity of the tree spirit is really limited, and if we force it out of the restricted range, I'm afraid the root system of the tree spirit will be torn off." That's why we can only wait for you on the outskirts of the grave. ”
"Oh, I see, it sounds like it makes sense."
"Human, I've explained everything I need to say, if there are no other problems, I'd better ...... as soon as possible You...... You...... What are you doing? ”
As he spoke, he saw Zhen Shifeng throw the demon suppression bell in his hand on the ground, and his right foot was raised high, only to hear a 'creak', and the bell was trampled on the ground on the spot.
Not only the two tree spirits, but even Xiao Ming and the curly girl were completely shocked by Zhen Shifeng's approach, and it took them a while before they reacted, and they couldn't help shouting in their hearts: "This thing is here to smash the field, right?" ”
"You two don't look at me with the kind of eyes you look at murderers, it makes my heart go straight hair." Zhen Shifeng rubbed his chest while continuing to make up for the demon bell, and after stopping, he glanced at his teammates whose chin had fallen to the ground, and said solemnly: "Please, haven't you two found out, task three hasn't been refreshed until now, which means that this demon demon bell has nothing to do with the content of the task at all, so why are you nervous here......
After listening, the two subconsciously glanced at the taskbar on the panel, and the third task was still waiting, and there was no abnormality due to the destruction of the Demon Suppression Bell.
"Even if the bell has nothing to do with the mission, you don't need to destroy it, do you?" Stretching his cheeks, he said dissatisfied.
Zhen Shifeng didn't answer, but turned his gaze to the two tree spirits with extremely ugly faces, and said with a slight smile: "I don't know how the two of you feel at this moment?" ”
"Human, you are simply looking for death, not only us, but the entire forest will not let you go!" Skinny Faces roared angrily.
"Hehe, you can kill me at any time if you want, but there is a question I want to ask the two ......of you," said Zhen Shifeng's face suddenly sank, "Do you really know what a tree spirit is?" ”
"Huh?" The fat-faced tree spirit was slightly stunned, and said quite puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"I just wanted to say that as a tree spirit, you don't know the nature and habits of tree spirits, isn't that strange?"
The dryads didn't answer, but their faces grew more and more ugly. Seeing this, Zhen Shifeng continued to explain: "The so-called tree spirit is actually an abnormal creature that has been transformed from a fixed life form into a changeable life form, they often appear in the dark, damp and cold mountains, they do not like the sun and the scorching sun, and of course they are not willing to have too much contact with humans. ”
"Dryads are cunning by nature, adept at deceiving and confusing ignorant humans, and draw on human souls as 'food' to prolong their lives. Dryads are no longer traditionally plants, but more of a ghostly creature, and therefore no longer possess all the characteristics of plants, including the use of roots for nutrients, and their range of action is not limited by their roots. ”
"Cousin, what do you mean?"
"I mean...... These two guys are lying at all, they are neither real treants nor unwilling to activate the circle in person because of root constraints, in fact, it is not that they are unwilling, but they don't dare, am I right, two? ”
Fat and skinny still didn't answer, or they didn't know how to answer. Zhen Shifeng didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said directly: "Since you haven't figured out how to explain it yet, then you can continue to think about it, and I'll answer the question just now." ”
"My problem? Oh yes, I was trying to ask you why you broke the bell when you were so full? He reacted violently.
"The reason for this is simple, because this thing is not a demon-suppressing treasure at all, but a genuine evil thing. Woe will come if you leave it behind, so I kicked it back to my hometown. ”
"It's a bunch of nonsense, saying that the Demon Suppression Bell is an evil thing, what evidence do you have?" The fat face couldn't help but scold angrily.
"Hehe, there is no evidence, but there is a bunch of reasoning, do you want to listen to it?"
"You ......" Zhen Shifeng's hippie smiling face really made the fat face angry, and the thin face patted it on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "It's okay to listen to his reasoning for the time being, I still don't believe that he can say that the square is round?" ”
"That's really sorry, Uncle Ben can't do anything else, that is, he can say that the square is round, the dead are alive, the real is fake, and the handle is bent."
"Let's just say that you mean cross talk." Curly spit out a groove at the right time.
"Huh? How do you know I'm talking about cross talk? ”
"Uh...... I just said it casually, but I didn't expect it to be, huh? ”
Xiao Ming, who really couldn't stand it, grabbed the curl, and at the same time glanced at Zhen Shifeng, and said helplessly: "What do you say about cross talk, my cousin likes to run trains with his mouth full, he is just a fiddling with a magnifying glass." ”
"Huh...... Hehe...... It's really a fight with my brother. His face was suddenly covered with black lines.
Seeing that his old bottom was exposed, Zhen Shifeng shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, "Ahem, let's talk about it here, then let's get to the point......"
