Chapter 6: Wisdom Descends to the Human Face Tree (3)
Ding Lingxiu's eyes froze, he had rarely had such a panicked expression. He stopped and stared blankly at Xia Xianyao, who was dressed in crimson in front of him.
The golden threaded clothes, to be precise, should be called the golden threaded jade clothes. The so-called jade clothes, also known as "jade boxes" and "jade charges", are funeral clothes worn by emperors and high-ranking nobles in the Han Dynasty after their deaths, and their appearance is the same as the shape of the human body. The jade clothes of the emperor and some of his close ministers are knotted with gold threads, called "golden jade clothes", and other nobles use silver threads and copper wires to weave them, called "silver jade clothes" and "copper jade clothes". Because of this, this garment makes the person who wears it look graceful and luxurious.
And Xia Xianyao is wearing a golden silk robe, this kind of clothing for the dead, doesn't that mean that she is dead?
"You think too much. I'm wearing a gold-threaded robe, but I'm not a demonic corpse. Xia Xianyao looked at Ding Lingxiu innocently.
"How is that possible? The golden silk cloak is the most evil thing, if you are a demon hunter, how can you wear such a thing? ”
Ding Lingxiu took a few steps back and began to be a little wary of Xia Xianyao.
"Hehe, look at your scare, it turns out that you are not omniscient, the golden silk clothes are only very spiritual items, but they are not all evil things. If it is used to collect corpses, it will turn into a yin and evil thing, and if it is used to collect spiritual energy, it can become a spiritual weapon. ”
Ding Lingxiu is still vigilant Xia Xianyao, after all, there are many monsters and ghosts, and if you cultivate to a very high level, you will be even more intelligent. Ding Lingxiu took a closer look at it, only to find that her clothes did not have any demonic energy at all, but were full of spiritual power.
"So the golden silk clothes are actually similar to a container, if you put hot water in it, it will be hot, and if you put it in cold water, it will be cold?"
Ding Lingxiu covered his lips with his hands, feeling incredible.
"That's how it works." Xia Xianyao smiled and continued to walk forward.
Ding Lingxiu turned his head and didn't continue to ask, after all, the most important thing is to subdue the human face tree.
Although the two of them walked in the raging fire, although there was water vapor protection, the scorching air still made it difficult for them to breathe, and their chests were tight and short of breath. The crackling of branches everywhere was even more irritating. Ding Lingxiu also had to look up from time to time to beware of the burned tree trunk from falling down.
After walking dozens of steps, Ding Lingxiu suddenly looked at the demon seeking compass that was flashing with red light, and motioned for Xia Xianyao to stop advancing.
"Wait, the Humanface Tree is ahead." Ding Lingxiu said
"It actually entered the center of the flames?"
Xia Xianyao asked in surprise, and at the same time, she saw that her Demon Seeking Bead also reacted violently, which showed that the Human Face Tree was already very close to them, and if it weren't for the surrounding flames, they should be able to see each other.
"Sure enough, its cultivation is not ordinary, although it is wood, but it is aquatic wood, and the wood-based demon can completely make up for his weakness of being afraid of flames if he practices the demon art of the water system." Ding Lingxiu took back the demon compass and hid in a pile of trees that were burning violently.
"Hey! What are you doing? There is not enough water vapor in the first place, why do you still go to a place where the fire is so strong? Xia Xianyao's watery eyes widened and looked at Ding Lingxiu in puzzlement.
"A little bit...... You hurry up and come over too, there's no time. Ding Lingxiu beckoned to Xia Xianyao and motioned for her to come to the fire as well.
"This ......"
Xia Xianyao was a little hesitant, but thinking that the decisions made by Ding Lingxiu before were all correct, she ran over without asking the reason, and curled up in this fiercely burning fire like Ding Lingxiu.
She had barely been crouching for less than a minute before she felt a surge in the air, and all the flames around her were half shortened. I heard a strange cry in my ears, the cloudless night sky suddenly fell wind and rain, the overwhelming sound of water vapor steaming came from all directions, the rain poured like a scoop, and the dancing tongue of fire was swept up by the storm and crushed away, leaving only the branches of sparks and countless black ashes falling, like fluorescent in the sky.
When the wind and rain rose, Ding Lingxiu pounced on Xia Xianyao, hugged her tightly, and blocked her gorgeous clothes.
In an instant, the surroundings were filled with misty white smoke and steaming water vapor, which was even thicker than the original fog in the mountains and forests.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Xia Xianyao pushed Ding Lingxiu on her body hard, her cheeks crimson.
"Don't make a noise, it will find you, you quickly hide the clothes that are exposed outside the scrap." Ding Lingxiu kept his voice to a minimum, almost coming from the slit in his throat. After speaking, he pulled Xia Xianyao's long skirt to the smoke-emitting waste firewood pile, turned over and squatted down again, and looked ahead.
Xia Xianyao tucked the golden clothes together and looked at Ding Lingxiu who was focusing on the side a little shyly.
"How do you know it works hex?" Xia Xianyao asked.
"Because the flames in front of it just now have obviously become violent, it is obvious that the human-faced tree is mobilizing water vapor from the earth to prepare to perform water magic, which makes the water vapor around it decrease and the flames become stronger." Ding Lingxiu stared at the white smoke in front of him tightly and replied expressionlessly.
"It dared to do such a dangerous move, and if it was not controlled, the surrounding flames would definitely consume it. It seems that I underestimated it too much. Xia Xianyao said.
"No, although the surrounding flames are strong, it must have absorbed enough water before it dared to come to the danger, so that kind of fire can't hurt it at all." Ding Lingxiu reached for his backpack, as if something was about to change.
"What's wrong?" Xia Xianyao asked.
"It's coming, start now, don't speak, there's only one chance, if I get up, I'll subdue the demon immediately."
Ding Lingxiu whispered softly to Xia Xianyao, his eyes fixed on the black shadow slowly approaching in the thick smoke.
The demonic aura of yin and evil is getting stronger and stronger.
Ding Lingxiu took out a demon suppression talisman from his backpack, and the demon suppression talisman used by Ding Lingxiu was a secret demon subduing rune of the Ding family, which was similar to the ghost talisman of Maoshan Technique. But it has a stronger effect than the ghost talisman, once an inconspicuous demon talisman is sealed on the body of a monster below the level of ghosts, it can be immediately restrained, and the demon power is completely sealed.
The charred branches creaked with heavy footsteps, and a number of tree spirits gathered farther out of the pile of trees, led by a massive youkai. Ding Lingxiu and Xia Xianyao didn't dare to raise their heads again, staring at each other with bated breath, waiting for the human face tree to approach. They were more worried about the arrival of other Dryads than the Human-Faced Tree, because if the Dryads were to get into the fight, they would not be able to subdue the Human-Faced Tree with a single blow, so they wanted the Human-Faced Tree to go as fast as possible.
And the more anxiously you wait, the longer it seems.
The approaching Human-Face Tree danced wildly through the ruins with its massive claws, apparently spotting Ding Lingxiu's aura and trying to find their hiding place. The fury of the burning of its home caused its demonic aura to surge, and the bark on its body made a trembling sound.
Xia Xianyao clenched her sword and listened attentively to the movements around her, and finally, the footsteps stopped abruptly in the place where they were close at hand. Immediately afterwards, the cold wind swept from above, Ding Lingxiu glanced at Xia Xianyao, and he turned over with one hand, and Xia Xianyao also jumped back agilely. Almost at the same time, pale green claws whistled in, and the entire pile of waste wood scattered and disintegrated like dandelions blown away by the wind.
Ding Lingxiu jumped up, like a light crane, jumped directly to the chest of the three-meter-tall tree demon, and pushed the demon suppression talisman forward, only to see a flash of golden light, and the demon suppression talisman firmly hit the pale green mottled bark.
"Human-faced tree, you've finally been caught by me." Ding Lingxiu said with a smile.
After Ding Lingxiu successfully cast the talisman in the air, he kicked the human-faced tree and landed smoothly to the ground.
Before the words fell, in the hazy smoke, the huge figure began to shake, and after being hit by Ding Lingxiu's demon suppression talisman, the already stiff human-faced tree was kicked again, and it slapped directly and unconsciously on the ground, and the remaining sparks on the ground were stirred up by this shock and drifted into the smoke.
Xia Xianyao, who was still standing on the side and was still ready to fight, put down his sword and stared at the human face tree in front of him that was solved in less than a second. And when Xia Xianyao was about to put the sword into the sheath, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, the human-faced tree was still laughing, and the laughter was extremely harsh.
"Hee-hee...... Hee-hee...... Just the two of you who are not in the stream of demon hunters still want to catch this king, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead. The enchanting voice echoed in the misty smoke and dust, and it was breathtaking.
Both of them heard that it must be the voice of the human-faced tree, and Xia Xianyao immediately drew his sword again and stood up.
"Ding Lingxiu, the human-faced tree has not been spelled!" Xia Xianyao quickly looked around, because she found that although the sound was nearby, it was not coming from the fallen human-faced tree. "Where did the sound come from?"
Ding Lingxiu plucked out his ears, his face was expressionless, and then he clapped his hands unhurriedly, took out the Hundred Ghost Diagram from his backpack and flipped it up.
"The Human Face Tree is very cunning, she hid behind this huge tree spirit before she came in, and she kept holding it, so our Demon Seeker will show that this giant tree spirit is the Human Face Tree, and the real Human Face Tree can use this stand-in to avoid our preemptive attacks." Ding Lingxiu seemed to explain nonchalantly, patiently searching for something in the vellum book.
"Then you know that you are not ready to fight? The human-faced tree is extremely fast, and so cunning, you are still in the mood to read? Xia Xianyao had already stood with her sword again, asking Ding Lingxiu on the side.
"Hee-hee...... Little boy, you can see through my plan, but it's useless, this blow misses, you don't want to find me again, goodbye. The human-faced tree laughed.
The voice came again, this time Xia Xianyao found the source of the sound, it turned out to be behind the fallen huge tree spirit, she immediately jumped off the obstacle in front of her, ran to chase, and sure enough, she found a humanoid monster, looking at them with her waist crossed.
"Hey...... Sister Human-faced Tree, I finally found your page, you are really amazing, you can still say so many words after winning the demon talisman, admire. ”
Ding Lingxiu pursed his lips and glanced coldly at the human-faced tree in the distance.
"What?"
The human-faced tree was stunned, and when he looked at his body again, sure enough, a demon suppression talisman was firmly attached to it, and he was as if he had been pointed, and it was unable to move at the moment when it was gloating.
"Huh? How do you do it? ”
Xia Xianyao's eyes widened, feeling that Ding Lingxiu was like magic.
"It's simple, see for yourself."
Ding Lingxiu pointed to the fallen big tree spirit, Xia Xianyao looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a huge tree spirit lying on the ground, nothing unusual.
"What's wrong? Isn't that the stand-in dryad? Didn't your charm stick to it? Xia Xianyao still couldn't see why.
"You're taking a closer look." Ding Lingxiu said lightly.
Xia Xianyao leaned over, took a closer look, and found that a square hole appeared behind this tree spirit, which was the same size as the Demon Suppression Talisman. Xia Xianyao immediately covered her mouth with her hand and looked at Ding Lingxiu incredulously:
"So you knew it was behind the big tree spirit, so you directly pierced the big tree spirit and shot at the human face tree behind?"
Ding Lingxiu nodded, holding the Hundred Ghost Diagram, and slowly walked towards the human-faced tree that had frozen.
"Human-faced tree, goodbye is a little early, our time together has just begun.
