Chapter 52: Panlong Cave

I heard something seem to be moving at the root of the tree, and just as I was about to remind my uncle, my uncle suddenly fell to the ground, and I saw that one of his legs was entangled in the dense roots, which were pulling him back. What the hell is this? At this time, Xiao Jian had already rushed over quickly, and the fierce cold light flashed, and the roots of the tree called by my uncle had been broken. I quickly grabbed my uncle's hand and dragged him back again.

"Uncle, you're fine, what's going on just now."

"I want to know what's going on, this root is too evil, but since it's a root, I'll see if you're afraid of fire." After saying that, a piece of rune paper flew out of his sleeve and turned into a big fireball, hitting the root of the tree, which seemed to have eyes, as if he had discovered my uncle's means, and violently recovered it. However, the fireball still snapped on the root of the tree, and a blue flame had covered the surface of the root in a blink of an eye, and within a minute, the root of the tree that had just stopped in front of us had turned to ashes. I looked at my uncle, and now he was finally relieved, and his signature lewd smile appeared on his face again.

"Sample, fight with me, don't say you're a tree root, even a big tree, I'll let you turn into a piece of coke in minutes. I will see who will dare to stop me and burn you in the future. ”

My uncle scolded a few words, we continued to move forward, looking at this dark cave, I always feel a little weird, although there are a lot of caves and mausoleums recently, but I just feel a little strange here, but where strange and can't say, I always feel that someone is peeping at me.

We continued to walk forward, this place has become a downward passage, here began to appear a small animal bones, what is the situation, the yellow skin in my mother's arms saw that the bones of these small animals began to tremble, I can't see that this guy is so small. My aunt patted the yellow skin a few times, and the yellow skin quieted down a little. But it spoke again.

"I advise you not to go down, I went down once before, there are all small animal bones underneath, it's scary, my mother used to tell me not to come here if it's okay, there are monsters that eat small animals, but last time that old man had to come down, I guess he may have been eaten now."

"Yes, if there is really a monster below, it means that this dragon lock is here, the monster is locked, and can only eat small animals in the vicinity, and can't come out to harm people, it seems that we must not have gone to the wrong place, this is the dragon cave undoubtedly. Let's go, let's go down and have a look. "We went on, and sure enough, as the yellow man had said, there were bones of small animals underneath, some new, some almost weathered, and the feet were on top of it, and sometimes there were bursts of phosphorus fire, and the green fire made everything here look even more strange.

Although there were dead animals everywhere, I felt a trace of vitality in the countless dead air here, which seemed to have become very weak, almost as little as nothing. We had taken a few steps forward, and suddenly we were blocked by a mass of roots. Seeing the roots of the tree, my uncle's anger did not come to one place, although the roots did not come to attack us this time, but my uncle still walked to the front with a torch and asked for a torch to light these roots.

My uncle took the fire to burn the roots, but the roots didn't burn, in fact, not to mention burning, there were no traces of burning, this is really hell today, first he was attacked by the roots, and now he can't burn the roots when he wants to. My uncle didn't give up, and a few fireballs flew out of his sleeve and hit the roots of the tree, this time the flames quickly covered the roots, but we waited for half an hour, the fire was extinguished, and the roots were still not scarred at all. What the hell is this, I really don't understand. Qin Wu went up and took the treasure knife to the root of the tree a few times, but it still didn't work. It seems that neither physical nor magical attacks will be of any use against this root. My uncle just stood and scratched his head, and it seemed that there was no countermeasure.

At this time, the old man went up to check the roots. My uncle also went over to take a look. The old man pressed on the top of the tree, and the skin of the root was as soft as human skin, and when he pressed it, he seemed to see something flowing underneath. My uncle went up and was more ruthless, and he went up and kicked it directly, and this time the reaction of the tree roots was relatively large, and he suddenly pulled at my uncle, but fortunately, my uncle had already taken precautions and blocked it directly with an iron rod.

"What the hell is this, I thought it was a tree root, how does this thing feel like an animal, but it doesn't seem to be a question, it's really a lot of night walking, there are all kinds of ghosts, I don't believe you can be a bastard today." After saying that, my uncle raised the iron rod and was about to hit it again, but he was immediately blocked by the old man in front of him.

"Old Yu, don't worry, look at the stone walls around here, this thing is not so simple." My uncle took the torch and looked at the stone wall next to him, and suddenly his eyes flashed with a burst of light.

"Hehe, I said how do you feel that something has been watching us, it turns out that this rock wall is densely covered with the roots of this thing, as long as we go where it will know immediately, I see that these dead little animals are also entangled in these roots and absorbed it, it seems that our way back has also been blocked, if we can't open a gap from here today, we may really not be able to get out. But this thing is not afraid of fire, so how to deal with it. ”

"Old Yu, come over here." The old man called my uncle over, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and the two of them whispered for a while, and they laughed at the same time.

"I really have to be called a big brother, and you can figure out this trick. But I don't have needles, do you? ”

"Of course there is, this is the same one I used to pick up in the medical waste of the hospital, and I didn't expect it to be useful today." After saying that, the old man took out a used needle from his bag, as well as a few bottles of potion. My uncle also took out chili oil from his backpack, and the family heirloom mustard, what the hell are these two guys going to do? The two of them took out a small jar and mixed all kinds of potions with chili oil and mustard, what were they going to do? The old man pulled out a tube of mixed liquid from the jar, and the liquid looked black, what the hell are these two guys doing?

"Ahem, I know you're a wise and scheming thing. Since you want to digest and absorb all of us, why don't we brothers give you some seasoning first, so that you won't be too light to eat for a while. After saying that, the old man took the syringe and inserted it directly into the root of the tree, and then pressed down to inject all the mixed liquid into the root of the tree. But the roots of the tree still don't move, and it doesn't seem to be easy to do.

At this time, my uncle knocked the roots of the tree a few more times with an iron rod, and seemed to be very satisfied, and by this time I had noticed that the roots were shaking slightly. "Pretend, you pretend for me, and I'll see if you can withstand the power of the mustard that my family has handed down." Oh, I've seen the taste of mustard, and it's a match with my uncle's socks. At this time, my uncle suddenly knocked hard a few more times, and the roots of the tree that we couldn't cut with our knives just now burst open. There was some liquid leaking out of it that was as black as before, and there was a pungent smell coming from it. At this time, my uncle was going to take a torch to light the root, but this time the root retreated in horror.

"Haha, we have broken your defenses twice, see if you are still afraid of the fire." Now there is no tree root to block, we are already a flat river in front of us, we walked for a while, and a very wide space suddenly appeared in front of us. When we walked inside, a huge black tree appeared, and it seemed that the roots of the tree were part of it.

"Uncle, this thing is the culprit, it seems that this tree has not been together for 800 years."

"Xiaoyu, this can't be called a big tree, this should be called a tree demon."
