So the crowd, led by Daoist Long, bypassed the left side of the house and went straight to a path behind.

It's just that when passing through a small door on the far left, a yellow paper ball was thrown out of the dirty Taoist's hand, and the door that was about to open was flicked by this paper ball and honestly stopped in place.

All of this was seen by me at the end, and the most obvious feeling was that the yin qi oozing out of the crack in the door instantly became much smaller.

The men soon walked up the path, which was flanked by a green stream overgrown with duckweed, and as they went, the channel became wider and wider.

On both sides of the creek are a number of plane trees, which are luxuriant and cover most of the scenery ahead.

Looking at the excessively long canopy of those trees, I felt very uncomfortable, can the plane tree really grow like this?

The branches were staggered, and from a height of more than two meters, branches stretched out, forming a staggered web above the head.

The cook sniffed around with his nose and said, "Two masters, I don't know if it's an illusion, I smell a dead smell from all around." ”

The smell of death is the chef's saying, and in layman's terms, it should be a rotten smell, but if he hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have smelled it at first.

After hearing this, the dirty Taoist priest glanced upward, and then said to me, "You are here to protect them, and I will go up and take a look." ”

Without giving me a chance to react, he grabbed a branch above him, swung it up, and disappeared from view in three or two clicks.

"I said, that Daoist will be fine, right?" The cook was a little weak-hearted.

I glanced up, "Do you think such a dirty person would have a monster endure his disgust and risk touching him?" ”

These words amused Guo Lianyue on the side, she used her hands to support the long whip that was looped in a circle, and then focused her attention on the bushes above her head.

After waiting for a while, I didn't see the figure of the Taoist priest, so in order not to worry them too much, I teased, "Why does the plane tree here grow like this, it looks weird and gloomy." ”

The cook showed an expression of approval, "Who said it wasn't, this tree wasn't like this, that is, this year, after the lake was green, it grew like this." ”

As soon as I heard this, my brow furrowed, "The lake turns green?" What's going on, let's hear it. ”

Guo Lianyue walked over and tucked the black hair at the back of her head, "Let's talk about it, this small lake has always been very clear, but I don't know why, since a year ago, there have been many green algae growing in the lake for no reason." ”

"Originally, it was normal for some algae to grow in the lake, and no one paid attention to it, but after only a month, the lake was filled with green algae."

"And the fish and turtles that my father raised in the lake are gone, and the lake is getting more and more smelly."

"The General's Pavilion where my father rested was built on the edge of this lake, so I invited many craftsmen who were familiar with the water industry to come to the house to see."

"As a result, everyone said that it was due to the overgrowth of algae, which could not be treated, and later my father sent a sergeant to search the lake with shovels, bamboo poles and other objects."

"At first, I did clean up the green algae on the outermost side of the lake, but within a week, the green algae grew again, and then it was shorter and more frequent in the morning, and it was full in the evening."

"There was really no way, so my father and mother had to move to a hut far away from the lake, and these trees only began to grow wildly after the lake turned green, so they were not so lush."

When I heard this, I had a plan in my heart, and it seemed that the problem here was getting more and more complicated, with crazy trees and small lakes overgrown with green algae.

However, the more complicated the situation, the more clues there are, and I have a faint feeling that the green algae in this lake may have something to do with the situation I am encountering now.

Maybe the answer we've been looking for is in this lake.

I was still thinking about it when there was a series of noises from above, and a few small branches fell on my head.

As soon as he slapped the branches off, he saw a dark figure fall from above.

I hurriedly moved to the side, and then I heard a 'bang', and the dirty Taoist priest landed directly on the place where I was standing just now.

And looking at his posture, he was obviously too anxious, and he fell backwards after landing.

I hurriedly stretched out my hand to hold him, and the dirty Taoist priest took a breath and said, "Run!" ”

I didn't understand it at first, but he quickly repeated it, "Run, you don't understand people?" Let's all move! ”

Seeing that he looked serious, the cook and Guo Lianyue chose to carry out the order and ran forward.

I straightened him up, "What's the situation?" ”

Before the dirty priest could speak, there was a rustling of leaves over his head, and when I looked up, I saw that many black shadows were crawling down the wrong brown branches.

"Holy!" After scolding, he picked up the dirty Taoist priest who was still a little weak and trotted up.

Long Xing panted and ran with a smile, "Your word has a new meaning, damn, it sounds more powerful than my mother." ”

I glared at him, "Still want to live?" The mouth is so broken, and the strength is used more on the legs, I don't know if I think you kid has hypochondriasis. ”

'Knock, knock, knock' came from behind me, and when I looked back, my scalp was a little numb.

It was a few mantis-like monsters, with several pairs of sharp claws growing around their bodies, but the front half of their bodies was a bit human-like.

There was not a trace of hair on his head, his blood-red eyes were fixed on me and Long Xing, and there was still a little green mucus on his body.

I turned my head and scolded, "Where the fuck did you get all that?" I admire you a little. ”

Daoist Long put on a helpless expression, "I didn't know that there would be these guys hidden on it, but I really found some discoveries, and I'll talk to you about it after I escape later!" ”

Damn, get out of here first, the sound of those things moving is getting closer.

Not only that, but from time to time there were branches falling from above, and it was clear that quite a few monsters were climbing down from the branches overhead.

The Taoist priest next to me finally recovered some vitality at this moment, pulled his arm back from my shoulder, and drew the cyan long sword pinned to his waist.

With a 'snap', a branch two meters in front of it was smashed, and a praying mantis man fell from above.

It let out a howl, swung its two scythe-like forelimbs, and slashed at us.

But soon the howl was interrupted, as a cyan sword had pierced the mantisman's throat.

Kicking it away from the road, I turned around and said, "When did you kid learn to fly a sword, at such a close distance, even I may not be able to dodge." ”
