Volume 1: The Devil's Plate Chapter 1: Chicken Neck and Dryad
She walked through a ginkgo tree, opened the door and looked outside, and sure enough, there was nothing, this knock on the door had been ringing for several days, and it sounded from time to time, and every time she opened the door, no one was there, could it be that it was someone's prank?
As soon as he closed the door and walked under the ginkgo tree, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! ”
This knock was obviously much more hurried by the one just now, as if adding a little impatience.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! There were three more powerful deafening knocks at the door.
Jiang Manyin couldn't help but start to furry when he heard this knock on the door, this was not the first time this had happened.
At first, I heard a knock on the door and immediately went out to check if there were any guests, but when I went out, I saw a ghost, and there was no one outside, and it was like this for several days in a row.
Jiang Manyin took a deep breath, returned to the door again, touched the door bolt, and opened the door as if it were open.
I was surprised to find that there were blood stains on the ground outside, and the usually very clean ground was a little dirty at this time, many withered leaves were spread on the ground, and the blood-red leaves along the ground seemed to be dragged far away.
She walked out of the gate in a trance to see if any of the critters were hurt.
In front of him, there was a handsome face as gray as a face, his eyes were wide open, the inner pupils were motionless like stagnant water, and his pale lips opened tremblingly: "What about Kanli?" ”
"Ahh Who are you? Jiang Manyin was taken aback by the sudden pale face.
"Where's Kanli?" I was already a little impatient when I asked again, and my anger seemed to be gushing out in the next second.
Jiang Manyin exhaled a long breath, adjusted his violently beating heart, and then began to look at the tall man in front of him.
It looked like he was only in his early twenties, unusually young, his black hair dragged two or three meters to the ground, and the hair hanging down his head covered the gloom on his face, standing there silently.
"He's not here, what's the matter with you?" Jiang Manyin didn't dare to look at his face more, he always felt that this person was cold, maybe he wasn't human.
When she looked down, she accidentally found that his feet were actually hanging in the air at this time, he was standing on the ground just now, and now his feet were hanging in the air, not good, she immediately closed the door and wanted to escape into the yard.
"Where to go? Return. A deep voice sounded, and the thick vines stretched out wantonly, reaching into the crack of the door that was about to close, and quickly wrapped around the woman's soft waist and dragged out.
The man who was still as calm as water just now showed long black and red runes from his face to his neck at this moment, and his whole face was very hideous, and the black show just now was full of vine branches.
"Ahh Jiang Manyin watched his terrifying changes in horror, and because of this, he was hanging in the air at this time, and couldn't help but scream.
Jiang Manyin got closer and closer to the man, and the vine branches on his waist became thicker and thicker.
She immediately felt that she was entangled in the vine branch on her waist and could no longer breathe, and a feeling of suffocation instantly flooded into her brain. As her hideous face enlarged in front of her eyes, she kept struggling, but the more she struggled, the more tightly bound the vine branches on her waist became.
"Hmm...... Good...... "She has been so entangled in vine branches that she can't even finish her words."......
"If you want to run, how can it be so easy?" The man waved the branch sarcastically and pulled Jiang Manyin back.
In an instant, his pupils instantly turned golden red, exuding a dazzling light, his long body had already turned into countless thick branches that were constantly wriggling, and the countless branches on his lower body were writhing wildly, and even the spikes on the branches were overflowing with unknown black liquid, and smoke was emitting from time to time, and his body was full of vine tails, which made people feel frightened.
Countless branches wrapped around Jiang Manyin's graceful body, and the goose-yellow jacket was almost covered by black-green branches in an instant.
Damn, it's so tight, the whole body is entangled in branches, and he can't breathe, this one in front of him is actually a tree demon, and the cultivation period is not short, Jiang Manyin looked at the man in front of him and was secretly surprised, and a fear rose in his heart.
"Hey! Tree...... Eldest brother...... You...... The person you are looking for is not there, can ...... You can't let me go first...... I almost couldn't breathe...... Ah......" Jiang Manyin finally finished speaking, and his face was already so intensely deprived of oxygen that he couldn't breathe, so he hoped that the big brother in front of him would be kind enough to let him go.
"I'm not here, I'm not here, I've been waiting for so long, so long, hahahaha, then eat the little doll in front of you, I don't think you can get out!" The man's face suddenly became frantic and murderous, and his handsome thin lips suddenly turned into blood and opened his mouth wide and swallowed towards the girl who was tied to a vine branch.
"You...... Don't come here! Jiang Manyin swallowed his saliva with difficulty, looked at the rapidly approaching big blood mouth in front of him, his heart beat violently, and his heart was about to rise to his throat.
If you don't agree with her, you want to eat her, what kind of person is this? No, no, no, what kind of unreasonable broken monster is this!
What to do? Her cultivation has been abolished, do she have to wait for death? No, she must not sit still.
His hands kept trembling, his eyes stared at the bloody mouth that was about to open in front of him, and he endured the feeling of being wrapped around his body, and his fingers kept groping his body, and he found that the kitchen knife in the kitchen was hanging on the back belt at some point.
Tremblingly, he grabbed the belt behind him, stretched out his hand and pulled out the machete, and kept chopping towards the thick vine branch that trapped his body, but found that the vine branch was as hard as steel, and he couldn't cut it at all, and his hand was smashed, and the machete fell to the ground with a "clatter".
"Huh! Bite off more than one can chew! The vine tree demon glanced at her disdainfully, laughing at her incompetence.
Opening the bloody mouth was only a fraction of a second to swallow the trembling girl in front of her, and the walnut on her neck jumped out in a tremble.
The open bloody mouth was suddenly bounced open by a piercing light, and even the vine branches around it were weaker, not as crazy as just now.
The vine tree demon was full of surprise, and then asked with a fierce face, "...... How do you have the ability to get away? ”
Jiang Manyin was also a little shocked, but he didn't expect that the walnut sent by Aunt Lan could exert such a great power tied around his neck, and he was shocked by this dead monster that was going to eat people.
She turned her head around, quickly picked up the walnut on her chest and pinched it in her hand, and waved it at the vine branch on her waist, and sure enough, the thick vine branch was bounced away by the red light.
"Bang!"
was thrown to the ground and ate soil in embarrassment, and the pain in her whole body made her can't help but scold, "cough cough...... Your uncle, dead monster, so cruel, phew! ”
Jiang Manyin took advantage of the monster's inattention, and quickly got up and ran towards the gate, and the countless vine branches chasing her behind were shaken open by the red light.
Seeing that the gate was in front of her, she ran in with all her strength, and shut out all the calamities in fear.
"Whew! Today is really a bad year, you can meet an old monster when you open the door, or a dryad, scared to death. Jiang Manyin covered her waist in unbearable pain, kneaded her body that had just been entwined by branches, and slowly walked into the courtyard.
There is a vine in the courtyard with a stone table and benches under the tree.
Jiang Manyin slowly supported his waist and sat on the stone bench, "Hey! Holy, it hurts so much. As soon as he sat down, he bared his teeth in pain, and he was afraid to think that he was almost swallowed by the dryad like food.
"Manyin, what's going on?" A melodious female voice sounded, and her tone revealed concern.
"I'm fine, Aunt Lan, why did you come out? Isn't it for you to recuperate in the house? Jiang Manyin couldn't help but exclaim.
Aunt Lan is not in good health and has been sleeping all the time, why did she hear the movement coming out? Could it be that the dryad made too much noise?
Jiang Manyin began to wonder, and saw that the person had already walked to the door, and immediately walked nervously to the door of the house with the severe pain around him.
I saw a slender figure, purple shirt and skirt, beautiful temples like clouds, and a classical beauty who appeared at the door, leaning on the door frame, slightly hunched over and gasping.
"I'm fine, old disease, it doesn't matter if I come out for a walk." The beauty looked at her with a smile on her eyebrows and comforted.
"Aunt Lan, I just went to open the door and met a tree demon, and when I opened my mouth, I asked where Uncle Li was, and I said no, and I haven't explained the reason yet! pounced on me to eat me, fortunately I have the baby walnut protection given by Aunt Lan, otherwise I would have died in the demon's mouth. Jiang Manyin cried pitifully to the beauty in front of her, opened her sleeves and showed her white jade-like arms, only to see a few red marks clearly visible on it, and some places were already high and swollen.
Aunt Lan frowned, looked at the red marks on her arms carefully, and felt very distressed.
"Come, eat the health pill, sleep well today, and you'll be fine tomorrow."
As she spoke, she took out a green pill from her sleeve and stuffed it into Jiang Manyin's mouth, asking her to swallow it immediately.
Jiang Manyin swallowed the pill, and felt some aura running around his body, and his whole body suddenly didn't hurt so much, and the red marks on his arms also faded a little.
When I thought of coming to this world, when I opened my eyes, I saw the beautiful and moving classical beauty in front of me at first glance, the classical beauty's real name is Qin Lan, and I call her Aunt Lan.
After sorting out her memories, she realized that she was abolished by the sect and expelled from her whole body, and she didn't know how long she had been walking down the mountain, and she fainted due to exhaustion.
was bumped into by the husband of the beauty in front of her, Junkan, who left the door to pick mushrooms, and picked it up by the way to raise it at home, so she had a different kind of intimacy with Aunt Lan, so she told her the story of meeting the tree demon as it was.
"It's him! It's okay, don't go out in the future, your cultivation will be abolished, this place is close to the foot of Lingxi Mountain, and the aura is relatively abundant, so you have to step up your cultivation now...... Ahem...... Ahem, cough ......" Qin Lan didn't say a few words and began to cough violently.
Jiang Manyin patted her on the back in a panic, helped her into the house carefully, poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "Aunt Lan, your body is not good, don't bother talking too much, I can do it myself." ”
"You didn't wake up when Kan left, otherwise I would have been able to save my life by teaching you a few tricks." Qin Lan rummaged in the house as he spoke.
"Aunt Lan, what are you looking for? You're weak, let me come. Jiang Manyin watched her rummage through the cabinets, her face full of worry.
Qin Lan found a few cultivation secret treasures, "Formation", "Demon Hunter Cultivation Foundation", "Fu Seal Record", "These are your Uncle Kanli's life's work, although he is not here now, you must also practice hard." ”
Qin Lan solemnly handed over the cultivation secret treasure to Jiang Manyin and admonished.
"This? It's so precious, just give it to me to practice? She was a little surprised, Aunt Lan was very gentle and kind to her, her body was not good, although she couldn't take care of everything, but she also tried her best.
Now that she has sent all the treasures in the family to practice, it would be false to say that she was not moved, and she can finally feel the warmth of her family in this different world, unlike the lonely and helpless in the new century, and she has no father and mother since she was a child.
"This is what you left for you before you left your uncle, and he said that with your talents, you will be able to succeed in your studies...... Ahem...... cough cough ......" Qin Lan began to cough incessantly before he could speak, stroking his chest and pinching the handkerchief in an effort to suppress the coughing sound.
Jiang Manyin put down the book in her hand, and quickly helped her sit down and poured a cup of tea to moisten her throat.
"I will definitely live up to the expectations of Uncle Li and Aunt Lan, and I will definitely study hard and succeed." Jiang Manyin looked at the thick books on the table, with a firm promise, and it was also a promise to himself.
She wants to study these exercises well, so that she can protect Aunt Lan for Uncle Kanli, and even more so that she can protect herself and keep this family from being invaded by monsters.
