Although the tree demon behind Sanmu turned around and wanted to touch his foot, he was tightly wrapped around one of his arms by the demon owl brocade of Spirit Feather, slowing down. Lingyu gritted his teeth, tried his best to catch the demon owl brocade, and began to tug-of-war with the tree demon.

When he was on the verge of losing to the guy, Sanmu finally touched the broken wall at the entrance to the barrier. As soon as the doorknob appeared, he held it tightly, and with a hard pull, he opened the small door that was still vague and broke into the small room that served as a point of contact.

His men were sitting dying against the wall, the puddle of blood on the ground that must have flowed from his left thigh, his leg had been broken by the Dryad, and his bones were exposed, and it was only a few simple twists of cloth torn from his clothes to stop the bleeding.

"Bell!" Three-eyed pounced on him with his name and patted him in the face.

"Boss?" Bell asked with half-squinted eyes, his voice was weak and his consciousness was not very clear.

"Come with me!" Mime said as he tried to wrap his arm around his neck.

"Leave me alone, boss! I...... I can't do it anymore! Bell shook his head lightly and said.

"Don't say stupid things! The young master is fighting those tree demons outside to save you, so as to buy us time, if you give up like this, how can you be worthy of him who has taken such a big risk! Sanmu grabbed his arm tightly without saying a word.

"Really...... Are you sure? The young master is here! The bell suddenly sobered up, and his heart was warmly moved, thinking that for such a nobody, the young master actually went out in person, which was the most face-saving time in his life.

"When did I fool you kid?!" Sanmu slung him directly on his back, took a deep breath, and pushed open the small door of the contact point.

The battle outside the gate continued, and the physical strength of Qianqi and Lingyu had reached the limit. No matter how much damage they inflicted on the three monsters, they were unaffected, still standing firmly on the ground, their movements as precise as robots.

Sanmu summoned his demon horse and helped the bell to turn on the horse's back. One of the three tree demons turned around and rushed in their direction, picking up his mace and spinning towards them.

He pulled the horse rope sharply, controlling the demon horse to dodge to the right, and at the same time, he held down the bell and lowered his body together. All I heard was the mace buzzing over their heads, knocking off a strand of his hair. Fortunately, there were no injuries.

While driving the demon horse to escape from the tree demon, he shouted, "Young master, retreat!" ”

"Quickly summon your demon horse out, I'll be responsible for the break!" Lingyu turned the nine demon owls into three strands, and while blocking the powerful attack of the tree demons, he retreated.

The Thousand Riders took the opportunity to call out to his demon horse, and his demon horse appeared with the glimmer of dawn, and at the same time as he flew on the horse, Lingyu was already surrounded by the three tree demons

He drove his horse into the Tree Demon, completely unleashed the horse rope, and with one hand he used the water control technique to form several water shields to separate the Tree Demon's attacks on himself and Spirit Feather, and with the other hand he handed to Spirit Feather and shouted, "Give me your hand!" ”

The water shield was broken by the tree demon in a few clicks, and at the last moment, Lingyu grabbed Qianqi's hand, and was dragged by him, and sat lightly behind him. They stepped on the unique light that can only be seen when the sun and the moon shine, and ran wildly for their lives, and together with the three eyes and the bell, they headed in the direction of the royal city.

It was another long night, and despite the ups and downs and thrilling, they managed to survive the night peacefully. Lingyu crouched behind Qianqi, relying on the temperature behind him and quickly fell asleep, he was too tired, not only because of the battle with the legendary monsters, but also because he was also fighting against the magic in his body.

Recently, he had felt that the demonic blood in his body had become more and more stable, and it had been a long time since it was difficult to control them. But perhaps because his opponent was so powerful this time, the energy he used to control the demonic nature was unconsciously dispersed, so that he did not dare to attack the opponent with all his might, and he felt that if the battle continued for a moment and a half, he would lose his mind and be completely consumed by the demonic nature.

At this moment, he was safe and could still stay by his companion's side, thinking of this, there was no pain in his heart, only a faint happiness, and he knew that this happiness would be washed away sooner or later.

The bell was taken directly back to the royal city, where it was treated. After seeing his injury, the doctor in the Chenji Palace said that he was only one step away, and his leg could not be saved, but fortunately they rescued him in time.

He didn't know how to be grateful to his boss Sanmu, but what made him feel even more unhappy was the desperate young master Qianqi for him and the tree demons. His mind is clearer than before, and when his injuries are healed, he will return to the intelligence team of the three objectives and continue to serve the Amber Dragon King and the young master Qianqi.

As soon as Qianqi and Lingyu returned to Chenji Palace, they rushed to the Auxiliary Star Hall without resting, they had to report the matter of the Tree Demon to Ouyang Yong and the others as soon as possible, and discuss countermeasures with them. It just so happened that I met Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Xiaoleng, who were also looking for Ouyang Yong, here.

"You ...... Why did you come back so soon? Ouyang Yong looked at the two young men with tired faces and asked with a little surprise.

"Grandpa Yong, it's really hard to say! In order to save the bell in the Trinchocular Intelligence Team, we had a vicious fight with Qingyun's men. The Thousand Riders slumped into an empty chair as if they were about to collapse.

"Oh? I'd like to hear what amazing henchmen can make you two so embarrassed! "Ouyang Xiaoleng knew the strength of Qianqi and Lingyu, and even if the two of them encountered a general like Qingyun's Rakshasa Mother or Yasha, they would have their own ways to get out easily, so it was inevitable that Qianqi's words were a bit exaggerated.

"Dryad! Have you heard of it? Ling Yu didn't get angry because of Ouyang Xiaoleng's attitude, but calmly asked them.

Ouyang Yong put the pipe in his hand back on the table, his whole face became very gloomy, he had only seen this monster once, but it left an indelible impression on him, not only because of its terrifying appearance, but also because of their change process.

"Dryad?! Does that monster really exist?! Ouyang Hongye looked up at Ouyang Yong, and judging from his expression, he could guess that he actually knew about them.

"I haven't even heard the name." Ouyang Xiaoleng realized the severity of the situation, and also focused his eyes on Ouyang Yong.

Ouyang Yong knew that it was necessary to tell everyone everything he had learned in the past, so he cleared his throat and said, "I saw this kind of monster once hundreds of years ago, when a merchant who specialized in selling all kinds of monsters passed through the royal city and said that he wanted to give a big gift to the lord. He said that he was giving it away, but he was actually wishful thinking that once Lord Li liked it, he would reward him with a large sum of money and ask him to tell him how to get it. ”

"Could it be that this gift is a tree demon?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked.

"Yes, I remember when we were invited by the merchant to the square in front of Chenji Palace, and as soon as the merchant lifted the cloth from the cage that imprisoned the tree demon, everyone was terrified. Lord Li did not like the gift, but was furious and told the merchant to take it away quickly, otherwise he would be imprisoned in the palace of Chenji. ”

"Why is Grandpa so angry?" Ouyang Xiao asked coldly.

"I was also surprised to hear that the merchant had blown this monster to the ground, and persuaded Lord Rei to train an army of tree demon warriors, and he would definitely help him to be invincible and invincible. But when Lord Rei told me that he had read about the method of obtaining this monster in ancient books, and when he told me about the cruelty of that method, I understood why he didn't want the gift. ”

"Tell me about it!"

"Only the dryads of the Ancient Forest can be transformed into such monsters by dark magic, which requires a special poison in addition to a spell. Little by little, the poison was injected into the dryads, seeping into their veins and brains, strengthening them continuously, and every time they were strengthened to a certain extent, they would suffer great pain, and it would take seven days for the dryads to become dryads, and in the process, many of them would die because they could not bear the pain. Those who successfully complete the transformation will become Tree Demons. ”

"I remember that dryads were a particularly timid type of youkai, and few people could see them because they were always hiding underground." Ouyang Xiaoleng used to be very interested in tree spirits, and he had read a lot of stories about them.

"Yes, but these thousand-year-old tree spirits are actually quite powerful, and dark magic multiplies their power several times. But as their strength increases, their souls change radically, from cowardly and kind to vicious and cruel, and they obey only the master who casts a spell on them during their transformation. ”

"The forest you just mentioned is not very far from the royal city, if the Dryad was transformed by the tree spirit there, would Qingyun also be hiding there?" Ouyang Hongye suddenly thought of this.

"That forest is huge, and it's hard for sunlight to penetrate even during the day, so it's a good hiding place, but if you want to build your own troops so close to the royal city, Qingyun is a little too bold, right?!" Ouyang Xiaoleng expressed skepticism, he thought that the scheming Qingyun might not take such a big risk.

"Sometimes, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is!" Ouyang Yong recalled the appearance of that forest, and had a premonition in his heart that Qingyun might be hiding in that place.

While they were discussing, Mime walked in from outside. He first saluted a few people in the house, and then said: "Before, the bell was not too conscious, but after returning to the royal city and being treated by the doctor, he is now fine. ”

"Great!" Qianqi said with a smile, feeling that their efforts were not in vain.

"As soon as he regained consciousness, he told me why he had been discovered by Qingyun's men. He said that he had followed Mother Rakshasa's ghost slaves all the way to the edge of the Ancient Forest, and had been eavesdropping on their conversations. It is said that counting the tree demons, Qingyun found a total of three kinds of monsters to form a demon army, which is quite large. As soon as he was about to go back to the intelligence point to find a way to send the news to me, he was discovered by the other party, and they released the tree demon to chase him all the way, and then he finally escaped back to the intelligence point. Sanmu rearranged what he had said when he woke up and told the others.

"Three are already difficult to deal with, and he actually used them to form an army?!" Qian Qi was shocked when he heard this.

"And there are two monsters that exist in his army, what the hell could they be?!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said closely.
