Chapter 16: The Dryad Reappears

The dense sound of horses' hooves broke the pre-dawn silence, and the comers did not seem to be prepared to hide their whereabouts.

When they arrived in front of Lanruo Temple, a group of people reined in their horses' heads and looked at the ruins that had turned to ashes in shock, and they didn't notice Dao Ran standing on the side of the road at all.

But Dao Ran recognized these people, weren't they the horse thieves who chased and killed Nie Zhengyan's family before.

It's just that the horse thief who took the lead was covered with a lot of bandages, like a mummy. Most of this person's face was covered, and Daoran couldn't recognize it, but he was followed by a few younger brothers, who were the horse thieves who escaped that day.

In addition to this, there is a feminine man who dresses like the undefeated of the East, but he rides not a horse, but a three-headed strange bird.

Dao Ran thought to himself: "This is a demon beast, although it seems that the strength is not as good as Mu Zhixuan, but this cottage shemale doesn't seem to be a mortal." Could it be, it's that Li-sama, right? ”

At the beginning, those thieves mentioned the name of Master Li, and they learned from Nie Zhengyan's inquiry that this Lord Li's name was Li Feng, and he was a disciple of the national teacher, and he wanted to smash Nie Zhengyan's stumbling block for the national teacher.

Li Feng rode a three-headed strange bird, walked into this ruin, frowned and asked, "What's the matter, didn't you say that Nie Zhengyan's family stayed in this Lanruo Temple?" ”

The last time the horse thief missed, Li Feng heard that Nie Zhengyan had Dao Ran, a senior disciple of Jinshan Temple, by his side, and he hesitated for a long time.

The status of Jinshan Temple in this era is not ordinary, and it can be called "I don't know Jinshan Temple in my life, so it is in vain to call it a monk".

But Li Feng is only afraid of Jinshan Temple, but he is deeply afraid of his master.

If Nie Zhengyan made it to Hangzhou alive, his fate would be very miserable.

And in order to deal with Dao Ran, a high monk, Li Feng spent several days preparing a powerful spirit rune, and he must kill Dao Ran with one blow, without giving him any chance to escape or summon him for help.

As soon as he was ready, his subordinates reported that Nie Zhengyan was staying overnight in Lanruo Temple.

Li Feng did not delay any longer, and directly led people to rush to Lanruo Temple. Who would have thought that after coming here, all you would see was ruins.

It didn't take a strong command from the wind to rush into the ruins and start searching everywhere.

No matter why Lanruo Temple burned down, at least confirm whether Nie Zhengyan burned to death inside.

After rummaging for a long time, smoke and dust billowed up, but not a single body was found, as if the fire only lost the temple, but all the people ran away.

Li Feng frowned, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what was going on in this Lanruo Temple. Who set the fire, and where did the people go?

Li Feng was so irritated that he wanted to kill someone to vent his anger, when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Gold! That's a lot of gold! ”

A few horse thieves rummaged through the ruins excitedly, and in a few moments they dug out a strangely shaped piece of metal from the ashes, reflecting a heart-warming golden-silver sheen in the light of the torches.

The three-headed strange bird descended from the strong wind, and when he got closer, it was indeed a huge piece of gold.

Judging by the shape and color, it seems that a lot of gold and silver jewelry has melted and mixed together.

The leader of the horse thieves, who looked like a mummy, said excitedly: "I have long heard that the group of monks in Lanruo Temple are so rich that they leak oil, and there are hundreds of taels of gold and silver alone. Quick, search around, there must be more than that! ”

Li Feng's face also looked a lot better.

Gold and silver were also of great use to him, and this trip was not in vain.

Although Nie Zhengyan was not burned here, he was still a short distance away from Hangzhou, and he should be able to catch up.

"Scour all the gold and silver." Mighty Wind commanded.

The horse thieves were ordered to work more diligently, and although they knew that most of the gold and silver would fall into the pockets of the strong wind, how could they still mix and drink the soup.

Dao Ran hid aside and was quite shocked when he saw the horse thieves digging out piles of gold and silver: "How many people have been harmed by this group of dead monks, and how can there be so much gold?" ”

Although surprised, Dao Ran didn't have much greed.

If he didn't succeed in returning to the world, no amount of gold meant anything to him, and it was impossible for Fahai to let him use the money to eat, drink and have fun, he must have robbed him, a rich monk, to help the poor.

Dao Ran stared at those horse thieves carefully, not for the gold, but to see if the dryad was dead.

Only the roots of the trees under the ground remain, can this monster still kill people?

Daoran's wait soon came to fruition.

As soon as there was a glimmer of light in the sky, the screams rang out.

The horse thief, who had been happily holding a large piece of gold, was impaled in the thigh by the sudden appearance of a tree root. The gold fell to the ground, and the horse thief was hung in the air by the whiskers.

Li Feng's reaction was a little slower, and by the time he took out the spirit talisman, the strong horse thief had turned into a dried corpse, as if all the flesh and blood had been sucked away, and he had become a veritable skin and bones.

The golden threads flew out of the spirit rune, like a sharp blade cutting into the roots, and they could not be cut, but only left a deep wound.

The sap splashed, and large clouds of white smoke came out of the ground, which was obviously highly poisonous.

The horse thief was not saved, and someone else suffered on the other side.

The same tree roots that emerge from the ground, the same sucks people dry after piercing into the human body, and mortals are powerless to fight back under this kind of attack.

Li Feng's reaction was not slow, and he didn't care about the horse thief who was sucked dry, and with a wave of gold thread in his hand, he tied up the rest of the people, and then pulled him behind him.

These gold threads are really a combination of rigidity and softness, which can be turned into blades, and can also pull people up without hurting a bit.

But the dryad was not a fool either, a dozen or so thick roots broke through the ground and robbed people with the golden thread of the fierce wind, and three unlucky horse thieves were caught by the dryad and lifted into the air.

Fierce Wind flew out of the ruins with the remaining horse thieves, confronting the root tentacles from afar.

Dao Ran was secretly frightened, although there were only a dozen tentacles left in this tree, and the attack range and strength were much worse than before, but if he rashly stepped into the ruins, I was afraid that he would also end up being sucked dry.

However, in this state of the Dryad, you can easily win by summoning an eight-part heavenly dragon to come over, and if Mu Zhixuan is still there, you can also be ashamed.

Dao Ran was very calm, but Li Feng was frowning.

"Stand back, as long as you hide outside this temple, you'll be safe!" Mighty Wind commanded.

"Lord Li, we still have brothers who have been captured by monsters, please save them." The leader of the horse thieves said in a begging tone.

The dryad seemed to want to use these three people as hostages, and did not rush to kill them, but slowly tightened the roots of the tree, causing the three to scream again and again.

Li Feng really hesitated for a moment, after all, this group of horse thieves was not a real horse thief, but the elite of the forbidden army brought out of the capital, and if one died, there would be one less.

But in the end, Li Feng still shook his head and said, "This tree demon is very powerful, if you want to completely destroy it, you can only use the spirit rune I prepared." Without this talisman, how can you deal with the monk of Jinshan Temple? If you can't take Nie Zhengyan's head, you and I will use our own head to restore our lives. ”

Li Feng had never seen the dryad's heyday, but the tentacles in front of him already made him feel extremely tricky. If he wants to use the killer weapon, then he will really have a hard time coping.

At present, this level of loss is still within the acceptable range of Li Feng.

The horse thieves looked at the miserable situation of their companions and showed unwilling expressions. In their opinion, Li Feng can save people, but they are unwilling to act for the sake of their official position, and they will always be cannon fodder with such a chief.

Many of the horse thieves had an idea in their hearts, if it was a strong wind that was caught by the monster, it would be seen if he dared to save this spirit rune.

Li Feng saw their expressions in his eyes, although he usually only regarded these Qiu Ba as tool people and cannon fodder, but at this time he still had it, so he said casually: "Today's gain, you will share half of it, and I will catch Nie Zhengyan's whole family in the next day, I only need his head, and the daughters of the family will play as you like." ”

When the horse thieves heard this, they all showed heartfelt expressions. Even if the gold dug up today is only half, it can be regarded as a fortune, Nie Zhengyan's wife and daughter have all been seen, and they are all rare beauties.

In the final analysis, they are not good people, otherwise how could they stand on the side of the national teacher and kill Zhongliang. Money and beauty are always so moving, and these screaming colleagues suddenly don't matter so much.

Li Feng was proud of his methods, and suddenly felt a chill behind him.

Before he could react, Li Feng only felt a kick in the back of his hip, and the whole person flew out, just crashing into those waving tentacles.
