Chapter 527: The Dog Jumps Over the Wall
When I ran out of the tent, I saw the ancient tree next to our tent, and its roots, which we had cut off yesterday, were now spilling blood. Read the full text of the latest chapter
The blood flowed to the ground and spread. The blood had already stained Yukiko's tent, which was closest to Furuki.
Yukiko was hurrying out of the tent with her backpack, and she was facing the sky at this moment, and she hadn't had time to over-powder her face.
I was amazed by the way Yukiko looked at the sky, but at this moment all my attention was on the strange ancient tree.
The amber orb on my wrist had turned red again when I had smelled blood, and with what I could see, I knew that the ancient tree was undoubtedly a demon.
At the critical moment, I didn't care about hiding anything, so I quickly took out a handful of peach pits that were blessed with more than half black and half white streamers from the storage ring, and threw those peach pits towards the ancient wood with a flick of my hand.
The peach pit that was thrown instantly burst out with a half-black, half-white streamer, and with my mind, it hit the highest point of the trunk of the ancient tree.
The highest point of the Dryad's trunk is the Dryad's Eyes. I'm going to blind the dryad so that it's not ready to attack us before I move forward.
As the peach pits shot at the highest point of the ancient tree's trunk, the ancient tree trembled suddenly. A large amount of blood spurted out from the highest point of its trunk, and the blood directly wet all the tents close to the ancient tree.
There is no way to avoid it, and Yukiko's and I are also instantly wet with blood and turned into bloody people.
At this time, Rowling and Jesse had just come out of their respective tents, and the two of them were screaming in unison.
Glancing at Yukiko, who was backpacked with a frightened look but had fully accepted the strange facts, I spoke quickly and told her to get Rowling and Jesse out of here as far as possible.
Yukiko walked quickly to Rowling and Jesse, pulled them one by one and ran off into the distance, shouting to me that she would take Rowling and Jesse all the way north. They will wait for me to join them in the north.
I replied yes, and after watching Yukiko, Rowling, and Jesse disappear from my sight, I teleported out a half-black and half-white peach pit from the storage ring, and threw the peach pit towards the ancient wood again.
The peach pit that I threw to the ancient wood this time was all submerged into the root of the ancient wood under my mind control, and as the peach pit submerged into the root of the ancient wood, the ancient wood trembled even more, and there were branches in the crown of the ancient tree that were rapidly elongating, and the elongated tree was coming towards me.

I shot and retreated to avoid Gu Mu's attack, and at the same time, the jade pillar of the white fox in the storage ring instantly appeared in my palm.
As my mind flashed, the white fox emerged from the jade pillar, not waiting for me to explain anything. The white fox who came out of the jade pillar suddenly overflowed with demonic energy, and the demonic energy that overflowed rushed towards the root of the ancient tree.
I saw that the demonic qi that overflowed from the white fox's body rushed towards the roots of the ancient wood. The branches of the ancient tree that were chasing me retracted, and the entire ancient tree began to tremble and wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was no longer blood flowing from its roots, where its roots were exposed, where the roots were broken, and at the highest point of the trunk of the ancient tree.
What I saw in front of me, I praised the majesty of the white fox in my heart, no longer wasting my peach pit that was blessed with more than half black and half white streamers, and paused to pay attention to the next development after moving away from the position of the ancient tree.
I saw the white fox standing quietly where it appeared, looking at the ancient tree, no longer making any further moves.
The smacking white fox's calmness is confident, and I hope that the ancient tree will no longer be superfluous.
There was no sound in this space except for the tremor of the ancient tree, and under my gaze, the old tree finally became dead wood and there was no movement.
At this time, the white fox, who had been standing quietly, turned around and walked towards me in an elegant and idle posture, and when I saw the white fox walking towards me, I squatted down and stretched out my hands towards the white fox.
When the white fox came up to me, he wiped the blood from his feet on the weeds before jumping into my palm.
Caressing the white fox's fluffy hair, I praised the white fox's power, the white fox said in a gentle voice that it was its responsibility to serve the master, and said that the tree demon was only just becoming a demon and the demon was very weak, so it would be killed lightly.
After the white fox finished speaking, he glanced at me, and asked me lazily if I had cut off the exposed roots of the ancient tree.
I nodded yes, saying that the reason why I am like this is because I have discovered that ancient trees have the potential to become demons, and in order to maximize the time for trees to become demons, I choose to cut all the roots of the trees to expose their roots.
The white fox's red amber eyes met my line of sight, saying that Gu Mu was not yet at the time of becoming a demon, and Gu Mu was only at the critical point of becoming a demon, and it was my behavior that prompted Gu Mu to become a demon in advance.
I was surprised to hear this, and urged the white fox to explain it to me.
The white fox said with a smile in his voice, Gu Mu's situation of becoming a demon in advance, in fact, is similar to the situation of a rabbit in a hurry and a bite and a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, Gu Shu accumulated all his strength and finally stepped into the demon road to take revenge on my harm to it.
Like Gu Mu, who became a demon in advance, even if he is not destroyed this time, he will not be able to improve on the way of the demon path.
The white fox told me that if I encounter a similar situation again, I should let it take a look in advance, and remember not to act without permission in the future.
After listening to the white fox's advice, I immediately nodded and said okay, and asked the white fox if he needed to eat again, and after the white fox said that it would not need to eat for the time being, and then it would contact me with mental power if it needed to eat, I took the white fox back to the jade pillar, and then put the jade pillar into the storage ring.
Glancing at the dead wood that had no life in it, I went back to my tent and got my backpack and put it on my back, then went to Rowling and Jesse's tent to take their dropped backs with them, and headed north to join Rowling and Jesse and Yukiko.
Taking where I had just been and heading north, I saw that the roots of the trees and the ground along the way were covered with moss, and the light was dim than elsewhere.
After I walked for more than ten minutes, I joined Rowling, Jesse and Yukiko, and when they saw me coming, Yukiko, who was covered in blood, immediately rushed to meet Rowling.
Yukiko took the Rowling and Jesse backpack I was carrying, looked me up and down for a while, and the worry in her eyes eased a lot, and then asked me if I had already solved the ancient wood, and I smiled lightly and nodded yes.
Rowling looked at me in horror and asked me if I didn't say that you could get the blessing of the gods by cutting off all the roots of the trees and exposing the roots, and why the ancient trees couldn't stop spilling blood.
Calmly meeting Rowling's gaze, I said that the blood spilling from Gumu was an external phenomenon when the gods used Gumu to send blessings, but I didn't react at the time, and it wasn't until Rowling, Jesse and Yukiko stayed away from that place that I remembered that it was an external phenomenon when the gods sent blessings.
As I spoke, Rowling looked skeptical, and then asked me about Gumu's current situation.
I tell Sù Rowling that once the ancient wood is blessed by the gods, then after the gods give the blessing, the ancient wood will die, and the current ancient wood has completely withered.
When Rowling heard me, she sat on her back on the ground, and wailed that the great gods were fond of frightening others, that she had just seen the blood in her eyes and thought that the end of the world had come.
Jesse, who had been silent since I came over, looked at me inquiringly, and sat down next to Rowling at this time, saying that what he had just seen did make people feel that his life would be handed over to Gumu in a few minutes.
There was no water source in this ancient wood, so after resting in place for a while, Yukiko and I decided to leave the ancient wood forest for the time being and go to the edge of the desert island to wash the blood on our faces with seawater, and Rowling and Jesse followed Yukiko and me to the edge of the desert island together.
Since our group didn't go too deep into the ancient woods, we deliberately missed the place where we encountered four Japanese men before with a simple map, and soon arrived at the edge of the desert island.
At the place where the tour group parted ways with the participants in the 18 Days of Horror, I saw that a lot of food and water and improvised tents had been put on hold at some point. Winter birds are playing.
Yukiko and I each washed our bodies in the seawater and changed our clothes next to the boulder at the edge of the desert island, while Rowling and Jesse sat cross-legged by the food and water and began to eat and drink.
Whether it's washing my body or changing my clothes, I always remember not to expose the objects tied to the red rope around my neck.
After changing the clothes and washing the changed clothes and drying them, I couldn't help but shake my head when I glanced at Yukiko, who was stunned by the changed clothes.
From what little I've known about geisha in Japan, I already know that geisha who work in the geisha industry are mostly idiots who don't know anything other than makeup and acting.
I walked up to Yukiko and took the clothes she had changed, I cleaned her and dried them, Yukiko followed me to watch my movements, and whispered thank you to me.
I looked at Yukiko and said that her makeup was amazing, and asked her if she would have a scar on her hand from yesterday's incident.
Yukiko lowered her eyes and said thank you for my false praise, saying that she was very uncomfortable without makeup, as if any secret had been laid out, saying that yesterday it was true that her hands would not be smooth, but then she would use some methods to remove the scar.
I said that it was very good, and after Yukiko's clothes were dried, Yukiko and I also walked over to Rowling and Jesse to fill their stomachs.
After filling our stomachs and waiting for our clothes to dry at the edge of the desert island, I saw other members of the group come here to wash and take away food and water, and I heard whispers about the tragic death of four Japanese men on the tour in the ancient woods.
After the discussion sounded, Jesse went to talk to the person who was talking about the situation.
The person who was talking about it, Zhang Huang, looked around and told Sùjesse that the four Japanese men did not know what attack they had encountered, and now they only had their bodies and heads left, but they did not know where to go.
Jesse looked surprised, saying that this desert island was actually really dangerous.
The discussant nodded and said that it was true, and that it was necessary to be extra vigilant as if our group were all girls, and invited our group to spend the remaining eighteen days of horror with them.
