"Old Dao, did you say that when we see that guy, he will tell us the whereabouts of the other four divine beads?" I vigorously pulled open a vine that had tripped over my body and asked the old word.

Lao Dao trampled a thorn in front of him under his feet, stumbled forward, and said, "It's hard to say. ”

At this point, the four of us walked in a dense wood, a forest of dense vines to be exact. The ghost scorpion was carrying his big axe, leading the way. Lao Dao followed closely, and An Gui and I followed Lao Dao.

The ghost scorpion who took the lead muttered and complained at this time: "Ya, it turns out that I gave me an axe just to let me open the way for you, and I didn't want this rotten axe!" ”

It is not unreasonable for this guy to complain, because most of these vines are thorny and barbed, and as a result, the ghost scorpion that took the lead is naturally sad, and now I estimate that he has thousands of thorns on his body, if not ten thousand.

Lao Dao listened to the ghost scorpion's complaints, and immediately kicked at the ghost scorpion's pouting buttocks, and said lightly: "Is it unpleasant, if you are unhappy, say it out loud, don't chirp crookedly in private." ”

When the ghost scorpion heard this, he smiled bitterly a few times, and quickly said, "No, no ......"

Lao Dao said seriously at this time: "If you are really unhappy, just bring it up, I am a democratic person, and I will never embarrass you." ”

"Really?" The ghost scorpion was skeptical.

Lao Dao nodded seriously.

"Ahem...... "The ghost scorpion cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I want to change someone to open the way, master, you won't mind, right?" Look at me right now, I'm covered in ...... thorns."

Lao Dao listened, looked thoughtful, then nodded slowly, and said, "What you said is very reasonable. ”

"Hey...... scorpion looked happy.

But at this time, Lao Dao kicked over and said lightly: "What kind of prisoner do you dare to make conditions with me?" I'm not extinguished, you're already merciful! ”

The ghost scorpion cried and said, "Didn't you say that you are very democratic......

Lao Dao kicked over again: "Don't talk nonsense, open the way, the democracy I said is aimed at people, not ghosts." ”

I look at the old way like this, and I can't see it anymore, this guy is clearly racist, although the ghost scorpion looks weak, and he is a ghost, and he wanted to open my stomach before, but now he is quite pitiful, especially looking at his appearance of being made into a hedgehog by thorns, I look even more unbearable.

I said, "Old Dao, don't abuse him, this guy is really miserable." ”

But the old Tao said, "You don't understand. ”

I pulled my face and said, "Why don't you understand?" ”

Lao Tao said: "You only see the surface, but you don't see the substance." ”

As soon as I heard it, I was immediately unhappy, this guy's tone was clearly when I was a primary school student, what surface, what substance, in fact, isn't it just pretending to serve this guy?

At this time, Lao Dao suddenly leaned into my ear and whispered to me: "Don't look at the ghost scorpion at our mercy now, but the abacus in his heart can be clear, this guy is now enduring humiliation, can bend and stretch, and has to guard against ......" After speaking, he said loudly: "On the surface, this guy is too ugly, I want to smash his face when I see it, but in essence, this guy is too disgusting, I want to kick him away when I see it." ”

I was stunned for a moment, glanced at the ghost scorpion in front of me, and found that he had listened to Lao Dao's words, but he just smiled bitterly and didn't dare to say anything.

Is such a person, no, such a ghost, really hidden? ……

Why can't I see it?

I snorted a few times and said nothing more.

I am afraid there is a little truth in saying this. Then I thought about it again, the ghost scorpion was not subdued by the old way before, so he was very arrogant, saying that he wanted to open my stomach and take my spirit beads and yin and yang souls, at that time, the momentum was as fierce as a tiger, but as soon as the old way appeared, the mask duo was beaten by the old way and fled, this guy seemed to immediately change his personality, became greedy for life and afraid of death, and flattered us in every way......

As soon as I think of this, I feel that there is some truth in what the old Tao said.

At this time, I looked at Lao Dao again and found that he was still calm.

It seems that if this guy hadn't led the way, Lao Dao would have missed him a long time ago.

The four of them walked forward for a long time, overcoming obstacles, passing over cliffs, through swamps and mires, and finally we came to a huge stone tree.

This stone tree, like a coral tree magnified thousands of times, is made of calcium carbonate, and the higher it goes, the more branches are branched out.

There are also small holes on the surface of this stone tree, as if the pores on the skin have been enlarged, and the distribution is not very even, and the shape is not very irregular.

The four of us were standing in front of the huge stone tree.

I looked amazed, and slowly touched it with my hand, and as soon as my hand touched the "bark", I found that the small hole on the "bark" immediately contracted like a snail's tentacles, which startled me.

"It's still moving!" Seeing this, An Gui couldn't help but exclaim.

Lao Dao said at this time: "This is a delicate stone tree, and it is a close relative of shy grass, of course it will move." ”

I snorted a few times and said, "I can't see where they are close relatives, but this tree is somewhat similar to coral." ”

Lao Dao did not bird me, and continued: "The trunk and roots of this tree are hollow, forming a delicate labyrinth, this exquisite labyrinth has only one entrance and one exit, and the passages inside are staggered, and nine out of ten people who enter are hung in it. ”

I heard the old Tao say this, and I looked up at the stone tree that towered into the sky, and I couldn't help but marvel at the fork of this thing.

An Gui asked at this time: "Brother Dao, the person we are looking for can't be in this tree, right?" ”

Lao Dao said: "That's right. ”

I said, "Then will we not be able to get out if we go in?" ”

I was expecting Lao Dao to pat his chest confidently and say, "Don't worry, I'm here, I'll be able to come out!" Unexpectedly, this thing said at this time: "Didn't I say, nine out of ten will hang in it, turn into dried corpses, and make specimens." ”

I couldn't help wiping my sweat, this guy's words are really demoralizing, no matter how you say it, it's all about this, morale is very important.

Sure enough, when An Gui heard this, he immediately wanted to retreat, he said "oops" at this time, covered his stomach and said: "Brother Dao, no, no, no, my stomach hurts to death, ouch, I'm sick, otherwise, if you go in, I'll stay outside and wait for you......"

I immediately flew over at An Gui, and this guy's stomach immediately stopped hurting, and he dodged my foot with a bang.

I pulled my face and said, "You scum acting, it's hard to deceive elementary school students, you want to deceive us?" ”

An Gui smiled and said nothing.

At this time, the ghost scorpion asked Lao Dao weakly, and said: "Master, you see, it is you who want to find out the whereabouts of the Divine Bead, and it is not that I want to inquire about the whereabouts of the Divine Bead. ”

When I heard what the ghost scorpion said, I immediately cast a contemptuous look at him as a ghost.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Lao Dao said lightly: "Okay." ”

An Gui and I, as well as the ghost scorpion, couldn't help but be stunned and surprised when we saw Lao Dao's reaction.
