Running to the other side, we were all stupid, only to see that Xiaobao's father's feet had been rooted in the soil, his legs were together, and his skin was as tree-like as the human rhizome before.

He was tugging hard on his feet to pull them out, but the harder he tried, the faster the tree spread, the beads of sweat the size of beans fell like rain, his face was sallow, and his mouth full of yellow mud kept flowing out, he was no longer conscious, and his eyes were full of panic and helplessness.

"Second uncle......" Runzi called.

Xiaobao's father raised his eyes and looked at us, screamed in fright, looked at us blankly, and then said tremblingly, "Help me...... Help me...... The man is coming back soon......"

As soon as these words came out, it proved that my hunch was correct, and sure enough, someone was behind it.

Junko stepped forward and tried to lift him up, but to little avail, half of his calf had been transformed into a tree, and in a few minutes it would merge with the old laurel tree.

"What are you going to do, you can't watch me die here?" Xiaobao's father grabbed Runko's arm like crazy and dragged it.

Suddenly, I was kicked in the back and hit Junko's side and was held by him, and the pain was so severe that I felt like my waist was about to break.

"Who's coming?" A strange voice came from behind me.

I didn't see anyone coming, but I will never forget his voice in my life, it was the "third brother" who escaped on the "ghost ship" that day.

Runzi also realized this, and helped me take a step back, leaning against the trunk of the old laurel tree, and when Xiaobao and his father saw him, he shrunk into a ball, hugged his head and cried.

"Hmph, it turned out to be you two boys, I let you go last time, and I can't blame you for killing yourself this time." The "third brother" couldn't help but say, let out a strange scream, and swept over with a bronze sword in his hand, almost being scratched by him.

The action was so fast that we couldn't react at all, and in the middle of the lightning, he stabbed several swords in a row, and we were all scared stupid, so we had to close our eyes and wait for death. But the "third brother" stabbed us several times, but it still didn't hurt any of our flesh and skin, so annoyed that he paced back and forth, and the black bumps on half of his face were squeezed together, and black bags bulged one after another, which was very similar to Grandpa Mazi's face.

At this time, I noticed a strange place, we were almost standing still, why didn't he approach and stab again, was he afraid of something? Isn't there only this old laurel tree left here except us, is it...... Haha, we know his concerns.

When Runzi saw me laughing, she couldn't help but wonder: "When is it, you can still laugh, I really convinced you." ”

I whispered a few words in his ear, and he immediately smiled and calmed down.

We looked at each other and decided to fight back, taking out a slingshot from our waists and loading it with a projectile, we shot at the "third brother". He didn't expect us to be so provocative, so he flew his sword back at us, but he didn't notice that the two peachwood projectiles were already flying towards him.

There were two "snaps", one in the face, the other in the back of his hand, causing him to scream in pain, and the bronze sword flew over my head and into the trunk of the old laurel tree.

At the same time, the back of his face and hands swollen into a big red envelope, bubbling hot as if he had been burned, and shouted: "What kind of weapon is this, you ...... What, is Peachwood? "You guessed it, we still have more, do you want to try it again?" I shouted defiantly. Junko had already loaded another projectile and was about to shoot again. "Even if you hate it, even if I don't kill you, you won't be able to escape." After speaking, the "third brother" took out a round ball from his arms and threw it on the ground, and a puff of white smoke came out with a "poof". I didn't understand the meaning of his words, and I didn't understand why he was so afraid of the peach wood projectile, in short, the danger in front of us was temporarily lifted, and we also relaxed, busy trying to find a way to save Xiaobao's father, but ignored that a greater danger was coming. At this moment, the old laurel tree beside him trembled violently, falling a large osmanthus flower, and a few thick branches seemed to be thrown down from the air by human arms. My eyes went dark, and I fell asleep on the spot, unable to move, only feeling Junko's body still moving, imagining that he was fighting with the old Katsura tree of Seijin. "Twelve, wake up, twelve......" Junko called my name as she kicked me hard with her foot. I was kicked to my stomach by him, and gradually opened my eyes, and at first glance I saw a red liquid flowing from the place where the bronze sword was inserted, which was clearly human blood, and a bloody smell similar to rotting eggs permeated the air, intertwined with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, extremely disgusting. It turned out that it was the bronze sword that woke up this old laurel tree, no wonder the "third brother" would let us go so lightly, he had long known its terrible ability, and deliberately let it deal with us, and the depth of the city was revealed. "Twelve, don't be stupid, I can't hold it for long, run......" I saw Runzi holding a branch in each hand, struggling to support it. Xiao Bao's father fell to the side, and from the slight fluctuation of his abdomen, he concluded that he was just like me, only temporarily asleep, but his calves had been completely tree-turned, and if he delayed any longer, he would definitely die, so I made a very bold decision. I got up from the ground and said to Junko, "You give me a little more time, I can't let Xiaobao lose his father." "Courage makes it impossible for even the most terrible things to be insignificant at this moment. I quickly passed under Junko's body, grasped the hilt of the sword, and with great effort, more blood gushed out from the old Katsura's "wound". Unexpectedly, when I pulled it out, the old laurel tree instantly increased its strength, and the trunk shook violently, pressing Runzi to kneel on one leg, and the branches were carried on his shoulders, and he was crushed when he saw it. "Ten...... Two...... Fast...... ...... point," Junko gritted her teeth and barely supported. "Ah...... "I slashed at Xiaobao's father with my sword, and I just cut off his calf impartially. To my surprise, he was neither bleeding nor screaming, and he was still unconscious, and it seemed that even if I had not done it, his calf would have been ruined. I threw away my bronze sword and immediately picked him up and ran towards the hollow of the tree. I hope Junko can handle it alone. When I arrived at the tree hole, Junko hadn't come with me, and I suddenly felt anxious, and began to blame myself for not being able to distinguish which was more important, in order to save people, do you have to let another person block his life, damn it, if you want to die, you can't let your good brother bear it alone.

Just as I was about to turn back to find Junko, ......I heard a heavy sound from far and near, and I wondered how Runko's footsteps had become so strange, so I heard Runko's shout: "Hurry up and get down the hole, the tree is chasing you......"
