In other words, under the light of the shining stone lamp, an inevitable battle for food and clothing (although it is short-lived) is about to begin.

As we all know, the issue of food and clothing is very important, and the wars that have taken place in the world, big and small, are essentially because of this, whether it is a peasant uprising or any legitimate or unjustified aggression, and so on. Therefore, this small battle can be regarded as an indispensable part of the history of this vast struggle.

The two parties' brewing emotional eyes couldn't last long, because the old dragon seemed to be a little impatient to wait - maybe it was because the roast deer was in the other party's hands, and if he didn't do it quickly, everyone else slipped away!

Don't think that the old dragon is really old and can't walk, although his whole body is not huge and attractive, but the roots are also as big as a dragon (you can think of them as feet), not to mention that he is really walking with roots - dozens of tree roots dance very cooperatively, like a spider walking!

Tao Xiaozhi picked up the roast deer with one shot and threw it to the top of a tall pine tree behind him, which happened to hang there, just like the moon on the treetops, with a fragrant fragrance!

"Oooooo......oo

Tao Xiaozhi and Brother Xiaohu work together to fight the old dragon!

Don't think that the old dragon's swordsmanship is not very good, in fact, the curved arc of the old vine dance is really ever-changing, and every move is an attack on people!

The sycamore gives the impression of "lonely (lonely sycamore deep courtyard lock Qingqiu)", the pine tree is "tenacious (can't be overwhelmed by a thousand snow of the pine)", "loneliness" and "tenacity" This is a good swordsman's must-have will, and the old dragon is a combination of the two!

But four big knives and two sticks were enough for Tao Xiaozhi and Brother Xiaohu to bear: on average, they each had to deal with two big knives, a wooden stick, and several red vines!

So, they quickly overwhelmed.

Whether it's running away, or fighting for food and clothing, that's the question.

Birds die for food, and of course people can do it!

This is Brother Xiaohu's attitude and her will!

Even if Tao Xiaozhi's evil idea of escaping floats up from the bottom of the water, it will burst like a bubble, because Brother Xiaohu's will is too tenacious, not only does he not show his cowardice, but he becomes more and more courageous the more he fights, just like cooked rice balls, more and more elastic!

This is the momentum of the ship, even Tao Xiaozhi was infected and moved!

But the result of a death battle is really deadly!

Therefore, Tao Xiaozhi also frequently glanced at Brother Xiaohu in addition to fighting, but because she was too "selfless", it took a long time to react.

Brother Xiaohu fought and retreated, and then took advantage of a gap in the battle to jump out of the circle of battle, and used her terrible light skills to jump into the depths of the shadows of the dense leaves - of course not from the old dragon!

The old dragon didn't expect that Brother Xiaohu would flee with his life, so he was a little surprised, but he quickly concentrated his strength to deal with Tao Xiaozhi - as long as he defeated him, the roast deer would be his, the thing in the bag!

Now, Tao Xiaozhi is facing the full power of the old dragon - four big swords, two sticks, and more than a dozen old vines, and what's worse is that the person who uses these weapons is still a good swordsman!

Tao Xiaozhi was surrounded by the shadow of the sword, retreating step by step, dodging left and right, there was no way to retreat, and there was no certainty of a big victory, and his life hung by a thread!

But Brother Little Tiger is gone!

Could she have made a mistake and fled?

It's highly likely, because so much time has passed, but would she really give up Tao Xiaozhi (or more precisely, roast deer)?

Brother Xiaohu wants to leave, and he will take the roast deer with him, because it seems to be more important than life, there is no doubt about it, but the roast deer is still higher than there!

At this moment, Brother Xiaohu made a move—a beautiful straight line poured out of her hand, like a streamer, straight to the back of the old dragon!!

The old dragon was busy dealing with Tao Xiaozhi, and none of the more than ten old vines were idle, and it was impossible for the eyes in front of him to see!

This move, everyone would have thought that the old dragon would not be able to avoid it, and it was impossible to draw a vine to block it, because he couldn't see it at all, and even if he saw it, it would be too late to block it, because this move was too unexpected and too fast!

However, he didn't get hit, and he didn't have to dodge, but blocked!

Block, don't use vines to block, and don't block the sharp beast hunting fork - the old dragon branch grabbed the little tiger brother's hands and hung in the air!

The two pillar-like branches can stretch and flex freely, and the small branches on the branches can also move flexibly, which is like a thousand hands!!

"Yes, these are my hands!" the old dragon smiled, "The tree branch is my 'main hand', and the tree vine is my 'secondary', and I have a lot of hands - referred to as 'many hands' ~~~he~~~~"

Tao Xiaozhi was shocked, and he also messed up, suffered a lot of sticks and whips, lost his balance, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The earth suddenly shook, and a few cracks were torn open with a "crackling", and a few thick packing roots drilled out of it, rolling up Tao Xiaozhi and Brother Xiaohu and tying them up tightly, just like wrapping zongzi!

A few old vines stroked the old beard (air root) of the old dragon, and he smiled: "I not only have 'many hands', but also have a lot of 'feet', and I move freely, not like human limbs, and I don't know the limbs~~~"

Brother Xiaohu struggled a few times, but it was in vain after all, and he gasped and said, "How did you see me shooting from behind?"

The old dragon smiled, "I didn't see it. ”

"Did you hear that?" Tao Xiaozhi said.

The old dragon smiled: "I didn't hear ...... either"

"Then how did you know that I was shooting from behind?" said Brother Xiaohu.

The old dragon said, "Someone else told me—"

Someone else, is there anyone else around?!

Tao Xiaozhi and Brother Xiaohu glanced around, but they didn't see a figure!

Could it be another treeman?

This is highly likely, because there are trees, pine trees all around!

"Not a tree man!" denied the old dragon, "rather, some critter......

Small animals?

The old dragon continued: "I have a lot of small animals on my body, such as caterpillars, ants, woodpeckers, bees, beetles, etc., they have a very good relationship with me, so when you see that the situation is not good, report me!"

"Can you communicate with these little animals?!" Tao Xiaozhi exclaimed.

The old dragon smiled and said: "They are all my friends, and they have been with me for many years, of course we have such a tacit understanding, and we can communicate! When you are in danger, will your dog ignore you in danger? Of course, people and dogs can also communicate, and it is a very simple way of communication." ”

It turned out that those little animals saw that Brother Little Tiger made a move.

Tao Xiaozhi and Brother Xiaohu finally understood that they had to face not only a tree man, but also a group of small animals!

The old dragon not only has many hands and feet, but also many eyes, and those small animals all over his body are his eyes!

Now, they finally understand that this fight can't be fought at all, because the victory or defeat has already been arranged.

How will some people sigh when they work tirelessly for a goal, and it is not until the moment before they die that they learn that this goal is not something that can be accomplished by human beings? Is it lost or regretted? Of course, he will say: I have worked hard for this, and this process is far more significant than this result, and I have gained a lot, and I have a clear conscience!

But Tao Xiaozhi and Brother Xiaohu are not, they are ordinary people, their ideological realm is not so high, and they can't get a roast deer, which has already made them lose enough, and they still fall into the hands of others, they regret it even more!

Losing one's life for a roasted deer has to make people feel sorry for it, and it has become a laughing stock for future generations, who doesn't lose and regret it?

Brother Xiaohu seemed to suddenly look dead and said to Lao Yulong: "Damn, we fell into your hands today, if we want to kill or chop, come happily, don't talk nonsense!"

Before the old dragon started talking nonsense, Brother Xiaohu told him to shut up first, which was really prescient, because she knew that the old man always had a problem with nagging.

Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile: "Don't say that, people don't have the heart to kill, waiting for you to beg for mercy, so they let you go, and when you say this, you are ready to move~~~ Don't * people are too much, the tree will kill people if they are in a hurry~~~"

Brother Xiaohu originally used the "radical method", because according to the experience gained from the "classic story", when you are slaughtered, the more you scold the person who wants to kill you, he will call you a "hero" and let you go; if you kneel and beg for mercy, he will sharpen his knife if he doesn't want to kill you, and the white knife will go in and the red knife will come out!

Tao Xiaozhi also understood what she meant, and came to help her.

Brother Xiaohu pretended to be contemptuous, and angrily rebuked Tao Xiaozhi and said: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, what reason can they teach me! Life is either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than Hongmao; those who are heavier than Mount Tai are like our generation who regard death as home; and those who are lighter than Hongmao are like your generation who are as timid as rats and are humiliated and stealing their lives! My death today is so heroic that it will shake the world and cry ghosts and gods, and it will surely go down in history and be admired !!by future generations."

In fact, she didn't know what "Taishan" was, but she felt that the more she didn't understand, the more connotative and imposing she was, and she could give people a shock!

Some people are like this, they always like to use some strange and remote words to show their "learning", which is really ridiculous, don't forget: language is used to communicate!

Tao Xiaozhi praised and said: "Sure enough, he is a real man and a real hero! His heroic spirit is enough to compare with Mencius, his majestic appearance is enough to shoulder to shoulder Guan Yu, and his proud spirit is enough to cover Tao Yuanming, it is really unprecedented and unprecedented, only Brother Xiaohu's true husband is also !!."

Brother Xiaohu and Lao Long were dumbfounded when they heard this, they didn't know what he was talking nonsense, but they always felt that it made sense, because what they "didn't understand" might really be "cultural", and no one wanted to expose their ignorance, they really wanted to applaud him!

"Stop blowing bubbles!" said the old dragon angrily, "I know what you think in your hearts—don't you just want me to let you go? I will fulfill your !!."

"Really?!" Brother Xiaohu and Tao Xiaozhi looked at each other, crying with joy, they really have indescribable gratitude!

"I'm sorry," the old dragon sneered, "I lied to you!"

Tao Xiaozhi and Brother Xiaohu were happy and sad in an instant! Why are there always so many twists and turns in life?

Brother Xiaohu scolded angrily: "Damn, Sycamore! You are so old, how can you deceive people more than me?! I finally realized how painful it feels to be deceived, it is so inhuman......"

Brother Xiaohu stopped scolding, because the two knives were already on her neck! Of course, Tao Xiaozhi also had two of them!

The old dragon slyly smiled: "I just love to deceive people, what can you do?!"

Suddenly, the wind rose violently, and almost overturned the surrounding trees, and the old dragon's was even more noisy, and not only that, but the wind became more and more fierce, and the wind-blowing trees were blown to the side, and the leaves were pulled out in groups!

The size of the old dragon is also large, but it is very stable, because he has rooted most of his roots into the earth, and only the few that have wrapped Tao Xiaozhi and Xiaohu are exposed.

Oddly enough, it's not the suddenness and crescendo of the wind, but the direction of the wind!

The wind seemed to be blowing from the direction of the former slope, and the range was very small, and the trees in the distance around it did not move at all!

What's going on?

I saw that something suddenly appeared in the sky, like a windmill spinning at high speed, getting bigger and bigger, turning diagonally downward, crying loudly, and falling towards the old dragon!!

"Storm Windmill !!"
