Hearing this, the fat man hurriedly turned his head, only to see the ground behind him bulging, as if something was swimming underground.

Puff puff!

As he spoke, countless tree roots broke through the ground and entangled themselves around everyone like pythons, and the dense number was really scary at first glance.

Ah Li was so frightened that he quickly hid beside the sting.

Li Qiufan snorted coldly, took out the Longquan sword, and slashed it down with a few swords.

The seemingly ferocious roots were no different from paper paste in front of Longquan Sword, and they were cut down all over the ground in an instant.

Whoa!

The roots of the tree were cut off, the old locust tree seemed to feel pain, the leaves rattled, the whole body of the tree trembled, a layer of turquoise demonic aura emanated, more roots emerged from the ground, and the trunk of the tree also turned into a sharp wooden cone, overwhelmingly stabbing at Li Qiufan.

I came here tonight just to explore the way, in order not to startle the snake, so Li Qiufan did not use the thunder method or fire talisman that was most effective against the tree spirits, the Longquan sword waved, and the faint purple sword light pierced the night, forming a sword qi defense, whether it was a tree root or a wooden cone, it was cut into sawdust the moment it touched the sword qi.

Then without waiting for the locust tree spirit to attack again, Li Qiufan quickly swept under the tree, grabbed a few nails from his bag, and slapped into the body of the tree with a seven-star position, the growing roots suddenly stopped, and plunged into the ground, and the locust tree also completely stopped moving, becoming no different from an ordinary ancient tree.

"Why don't you move, Brother Fan, what did you stick into the tree?" The fat man saw it well, and when he saw that the locust tree spirit was not moving, he asked.

Li Qiufan took out one and said: "The jujube wood nail made of jujube trees has a great restraint effect on the monster, I temporarily fixed its demonic qi flow with the seven-star position, but I will not kill it, so I am not afraid of being discovered by the people of the Demon Corpse Gate." ”

At this time, the stunned sting came over and said, "This tree spirit seems to have more than just demonic energy. ”

Li Qiufan said: "That's right, there is also a corpse qi mixed with the demon qi, it should be a corpse demon, which is a bit weird." ”

"What is a corpse? Zombies and goblins? The fat man pulled a leaf and looked at it for a while, but he didn't see it.

"Damn! It's all zombies, why can they give birth? Li Qiufan glanced at the fat man and explained: "A kind of half-corpse and half-demon, nondescript evil, after death, if there is a spirit soul accidentally enters the corpse, the corpse will undergo corpse transformation, and for this reason the corpse is the corpse demon, if the resentment is too heavy, the soul is called a ghost corpse, after the death of the person to relatives to guard the spirit, in order to the corpse is not collided by cats, dogs or other wandering spirits, corpse changes." ”

"I see..."The fat man nodded and said, "But what's the matter with this tree spirit, it's obviously still a tree, you look at the leaves, it's quite tender!" It seems that it's not just people who like to pretend to be tender, but even monsters have this habit. ”

"What nonsense!" Li Qiufan scolded: "You sprinkle some realgar on the leaves and take a look." ”

When the fat man heard this, he touched a small pinch of realgar powder from his bag and sprinkled it on the leaves he had picked.

As soon as the realgar powder touched the leaves, a puff of black smoke immediately came out, and it sounded, so frightened that the fat man screamed and hurriedly threw it away, and the leaves turned into black ash before they landed.

"Damn, what the hell is this?"

"Do you know why the leaves are like this?"

The fat man shook his head: "Don't sell it, what is the reason?" ”

Li Qiufan said: "Because realgar and corpse qi are mutually restrictive, so the general corpse will use realgar, and the leaves touch the realgar powder and rot, which means that this tree spirit not only has demonic qi in its body, but also corpse qi, and even corpse qi is a little heavier than demonic qi, but I have never seen this operation." ”

At this time

Ah Li, who was hiding behind the stinger, seemed to suddenly think of something, and said, "I know! ”

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look at Ah Li.

Ah Li said timidly: "Once my grandfather was drunk, he told me that after the Demon Corpse Gate occupied Sitong Yizhuang, he used the original large array of Yizhuang to set up a corpse demon barrier around the Demon Corpse Mountain, as long as someone stepped into the hinterland of the Demon Corpse Mountain, the people inside could detect it, and some uninformed people never came out after accidentally entering the mountain..."

Li Qiufan was slightly shocked in his heart, this Demon Corpse Gate was careful enough, if it wasn't for Ah Li's reminder, they would have entered rashly, I am afraid that they would be discovered by the guys from the Demon Corpse Gate in an instant.

"Do you know what the barrier is?"

Ah Li tilted his head and thought for a while: "Grandpa seems to say that he is using the corpse qi of zombies to raise demons... He was drunk and babbling nonsense, and I didn't take it seriously at the time, but I only remember that. ”

Raising demons with corpse energy... Li Qiufan pondered for a moment, squatted under the locust tree, put his palm on the ground, spread out his qi and sensed it, suddenly stood up, and walked towards the west.

He stopped in front of a clearing, which was very different from the rest of the place, there was not a single plant or tree, and the soil was darker than the others, so he asked the fat man to bring the folding shovel.

"What do you want this thing for in the middle of the night?" The fat man handed the ordnance shovel to Li Qiufan and asked.

"We'll find out later." Li Qiufan spat on the palm of his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and dug up with a hum.

The ground was soft, and it took a few strokes to dig half a meter deep.

Boom!

The shovel made a muffled sound as if it had touched some kind of hard object.

Li Qiufan stopped his action and shone it into the pit with a flashlight, only to see that there was a bluestone at the bottom of the pit, after digging off the slag, there were many red lines on the surface of the bluestone.

"Chenzhou Fu!" Ah Li blurted out after seeing the talisman on the bluestone.

"Didn't you see it, girl, you still have a lot of knowledge?" The fat man said in surprise.

"No, no, when we came out, my grandfather gave me a bag full of this kind of talisman!" Ah Li opened the bag as he spoke, and took out one of them, which was exactly the same as the one on the bluestone.

"What is this talisman for?" The fat man asked again.

"Zombie Suppression!" Before Ah Li could speak, Li Qiufan said: "Chenzhou Fu is a fixed spell that corpse chasers will do, which can not only suppress zombies, but also cooperate with spells and handprints to drive zombies to act." This is also the main reason why the corpse chaser can drive the corpse, Chenzhou Fu has been passed on from generation to generation, and the male is not passed on to the female, and there is no male apprentice, and the secret is not passed on. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you can only use it, but you don't know how to draw it, right?"

Ah Li nodded again and again, and said admiringly: "Little brother, you know a lot, that's right, my grandfather is so annoying, he draws talismans by himself and hides and secretly draws, he obviously can't see it, I said let him teach me to draw, but he still refuses!" ”

Li Qiufan smiled and said: "This is a rule handed down by the ancestors, he is a corpse chaser, so naturally he can't violate the ancestral teachings." ”

"So there's a zombie underneath this rock?" The fat man said after listening.

Li Qiufan nodded: "That's right, I'm afraid that there are zombies suppressed underground everywhere around this Demon Corpse Mountain, and there are not a few tree spirits, the zombie's corpse qi is absorbed by the tree spirits, and over time it has formed the half-corpse and half-demon locust tree spirit that we see now, the trees become essences, as long as they have not experienced three thunder tribulations, they can't transform into shapes, and they are still unwilling to move casually like ordinary plants. ”

"In order to absorb the aura of cultivation, the root system of the tree spirit is much more developed than that of ordinary plants, and the coverage is extremely wide, and the Demon Corpse Gate is taking advantage of this to be able to bring such a large Demon Corpse Mountain

The surrounding area is impenetrable, and the zombies around the tree spirits are estimated to have some kind of connection with the Demon Corpse Gate, as long as there is a little wind and grass, they can instantly know that there is an outsider intruding, so they can take action immediately..."

"Tut-tut-tut..."The fat man smacked his mouth and said, "Listen to you say this, this thing is better than surveillance!" ”

"That's natural, surveillance has to be watched anytime and anywhere, this thing can't be used."

"Damn, doesn't that mean we've been discovered?"

Li Qiufan said: "It shouldn't be, I have already suppressed this locust tree spirit for the first time, there are many animals in the mountains, and it is indispensable to bump into it by mistake, and the people of the Demon Corpse Gate will definitely think that the locust tree spirit ate some animal." ”

"Shall we go on now?"

Li Qiufan looked at the dark mountains, as if there was a faint layer of blood mist shrouded in the distant mountain tops, giving people a sense of frightening depression, but thinking of Qing Huizi's calm words, he thought about it for a while and said: "Keep walking, the old man will not push us to the fire pit, he didn't stop us, it means that the problem is not big." ”

Li Qiufan was the backbone of the team, and when he said this, others would naturally not object, so he carefully bypassed the locust tree spirit and walked forward.

This time, Li Qiufan took the lead, Ah Li followed behind him to show the way, and after the twelve stinging pads, even if there was a special situation, he would not be caught off guard.

The fat man walking in the middle of the team touched the red dragon wrapped around his wrist, this little guy has not woken up from sleeping for almost two months, and his heart is quite unpleasant, it seems that every time he plays the role of dragging an oil bottle, he needs Li Qiufan's protection, and he can't help at all, now even Ah Li is more useful than himself, and he still knows the road, and he also carries a pack of Chenzhou talismans.

"... It seems that you have to study hard, as a gentleman, you can't be protected by others all the time! The fat man's self-esteem was hit, and he secretly decided that he would start studying the Tao hard when he went back this time, and sooner or later one day he would have to fight side by side with Li Qiufan and them, instead of dragging his feet.

The others naturally didn't know what the fat man was thinking, and walked slowly and cautiously, because no one knew the details of the Demon Corpse Gate, so several people cheered up their spirits, paying attention to the slightest wind and grass around them at any time.

It is also strange to say that after entering the hinterland of the Demon Corpse Mountain, the surroundings became extremely quiet, even dead silence, even the sound of insects could not be heard, the trees were somehow all dead, and the shadows of the dry branches were all shadows, like a hideous monster towering in the mountains, the air was depressed, the temperature seemed to have plummeted several degrees, and there was an unpleasant stench everywhere.

Except for the rustle of a few people stepping on the ground as they landed, everything was silent.

Suddenly, a mountain wind whistled by, like a ghost crying wolf, Ah Li trembled, his face turned pale with fright, and he grabbed Li Qiufan's clothes tightly.

Li Qiufan stopped, his nose moved, and he took out three pills from his waist, one of which he pressed under his tongue, and the other two were handed to the fat man and Ah Li.

"This is the corpse avoidance pill, the corpse in the mountain is extremely heavy, don't swallow it in your mouth, don't be afraid, follow me!"

Ah Li and the fat man put the pill in their mouths, and suddenly felt a faint fragrance fill their mouths and noses, the stench around them was isolated, and they could no longer smell it, and the chill on their bodies was dispelled a lot.

"Little brother, are you really good at alchemy?"

Li Qiufan smiled and said, "I can't still deceive you, when this bloody corpse is solved, I will help you refine some elixirs that can cover the corpse's qi." ”

Ah Li suddenly became happy: "Great, the blind grandfather said that when the smell on my body becomes the same as the corpse, I will be considered a teacher, although I like to chase corpses, but I don't want to become as stinky as corpses..."

Li Qiufan was about to say that this was purely the old blind man teasing her, but suddenly noticed something, and hurriedly put his index finger on his lips to signal everyone not to speak, and hid behind a boulder.
