Chapter 504: The Human Head in the Tree
On the way, I asked Qiao An, and Qiao An said that he couldn't figure out this problem either, in fact, there were many secrets in Phoenix Village that ordinary people didn't know.
Compared with ordinary valleys, the Poisonous Insect Valley looks no different, but there are many plants that look strange, at least I haven't seen them in the East and West Villages outside, or even in the Phoenix Village.
Qiao An confessed that you should not touch anything in this poisonous insect valley, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Naturally, I did what he said and didn't touch anything. After about ten minutes, Joan stopped, in a place overgrown with all kinds of strange plants.
I whispered, "Are we there?" ”
This kind of place makes people involuntarily careful, so I can't help but lower my voice.
Na Qiao An's voice was also very careful, and he said: "Here we are, this is the place when I came more than twenty years ago, and there is a stockade in this place, and the gold and silver woman lives in the stockade. The surrounding villages live among the apprentices of Jin Yinpo, and after her apprentices get out of here, they are often very powerful witch masters. ”
"More than twenty years ago...... Will there be anyone in this place? I asked.
There are all kinds of strange plants everywhere, and where there are any villages, I am afraid that this place has long been abandoned.
"Xiao Fan, you don't know, Jin Yinpo's whereabouts are secretive, I can be sure that the village is near here, but the entrance to the village is difficult to find. Let's find out first! Joan said.
I nodded, and the two of them looked around, and further on, there were all kinds of strange plants, and there was no road, and it was really hard to find.
Just as I was about to go back and ask Joan, I suddenly swept to the back of the bush of plants in front of me, and there seemed to be something. Just now, I just swept it, but when I looked over there, I only saw a black mass over there, and I couldn't see what it was under the cover of branches and leaves.
I subconsciously thought that maybe the thing inside could help us find some clues, so I reached over and brushed aside the branches and leaves next to me.
Little by little, there was a strange tree, I had never seen it before, and something black hung from its branches.
For some reason, I felt a chill hit my face.
I pushed aside the strange plants on both sides, poked my head out of the way, and in the next second I saw what the black thing was. It turned out to be a human head, hanging upside down from a tree, with a neck that looked like it was growing on a branch, and a pair of scarlet eyes were staring at me, full of hideous, wrinkled faces.
It was so sudden, I didn't have any mental preparation, and after brushing away the leaves, the face was close to me. I was so frightened that I almost cried out, and hurriedly backed away.
Joan on the other side seemed to notice the situation on my side, and he hurriedly ran over.
"What's wrong?" Joan asked.
I took a deep breath and made up my mind, it wasn't that scary, it was just too sudden. I said, "It's nothing, it's just that I was startled when I saw a human head hanging from a tree." ”
"Head, where?" Joan asked.
I pointed to the bushes next to me, and he walked over and pushed them aside as I did, and looked inside. He glanced at it, turned back and said, "No! ”
I was stunned, I saw it just now, is it just an illusion?
Just as I was thinking about this, I saw a skinny hand like a chicken claw poking out of the bushes, extremely fast, grabbing Joan by the neck, and dragging Joan into it in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that Joan didn't even have a chance to react.
I hurriedly rushed over and tore off the branches and leaves on both sides, and Joan was gone, and the heads I had just seen were gone.
Who the hell is it, is it the gold and silver woman that Qiao Ann said?
I didn't care so much, so I pushed aside the woods and chased after them into the depths of the woods. When you enter this forest, it is immediately different, and the surroundings instantly become as dark as the evening.
All kinds of strange plants can only see the outline, like some kind of demons and monsters, slowly swaying with the gusts of yin wind.
I looked back, and the place I had just come in was gone.
I pulled a yellow talisman out of my pocket, pinched a finger, and the yellow talisman slowly burned. This technique was learned from Shen Yue, a yellow talisman has a breath maintenance, can be burned for a long time, and can be used for lighting. I walked deeper into the woods, and I never saw Joan's whereabouts.
Just when I was wondering, I suddenly felt a softness under my feet.
I looked down and saw something moving in the rotting leaves beneath my feet. I was immediately alert, and the next second I saw an arm-thick vine emerge from the dirt and wrap around me. Damn, this place is exactly this trap.
I pulled the black-scaled dagger from my waist and rushed forward, slashing the vines with a single blow.
There was nothing difficult about it, but the vine broke off and spread out before it hit the ground, and in an instant it turned into a mass of insects that surged towards me.
I recited the incantation, and the two fire charms in my pocket rushed out with a "whoosh", and a ball of flame burned towards the Gu worm. The smell of roasted insects was instantly in the air, and it was very unpleasant.
What is the situation in this place, after the vine was broken just now, it turned into a Gu worm, could it be that everything around it was transformed by a Gu worm? I had seen this kind of Gu technique when I was in Bailing Mountain, and it was not impossible.
I quickly turned around and slashed the two trees behind me with a single sword. Sure enough, the branch turned into Gu worms in an instant before it hit the ground, these Gu worms are no threat to me, but they make me feel happy, it seems that the gold and silver woman is really here, is she doing this to give me this offspring a dismount?
However, she is hiding now, as if she wants to play a game with me, and I don't have that kind of leisure, so I can only force her to show up. Although, this Jin Yinpo is a master of witchcraft, and bugs should be very important to her, and it is no problem for witchcraft to kill and injure some bugs, but if I use all the bugs she creates illusions as a threat, she will definitely appear.
Thinking of this, I didn't delay any longer, and quickly pinched out the fingers, and six fire talismans quickly appeared in the six directions around me. I pronounced the incantation, and the fire talismans around me instantly began to burn. This is also a fire talisman formation that I learned from Shen Yue, I haven't used it yet, anyway, the power is not small, and it shouldn't be a problem to destroy all the insects around me that have become illusions in an instant.
To run this formation, only a small yin and yang are needed, and with a soft drink, the six fire talismans around me quickly formed a fire talisman seal.
In an instant, a large area around it was illuminated in the color of firelight.
When I was about to destroy these things single-handedly, I saw a human head hanging from the branch in front of me, and I was startled by the sudden appearance of the mother.
"Young man, take your magical powers, it's really the same as your old man, and even the method used to force me to show up is the same!" The upside-down head said.
"You're the Golden Lady?" Her words have made it clear, and my dad has come to see her.
"My name is also something that you and other juniors can call directly?" The gold and silver woman poked her head out and approached me.
"That'...... What should I call you? I took a half step back, her face was so hideous, so close to me, it felt very awkward.
"Just call me mother-in-law!" She said.
Sure that she was the gold and silver woman, I slowly put away the fire talisman array. I was about to ask her, but her head hanging from the tree left the branch and flew towards me.
I didn't think of this at all, and I was about to dodge, but the old lady's mouth suddenly blew a black breath. I couldn't prevent it, a cloud of black gas rushed to my face, and I didn't have time to dodge, and then, I felt that it was dark in front of me, and I fell.
