Chapter 68: Give Me a Painful Death?
He needed to verify a fact, a fact about the locust tree.
"There are too many dart masters during the day, so let's wait for the evening." Xu Bai thought.
……
From Wuhua to night, Xu Bai did not leave the dart game.
It wasn't until it was close to night that the dart masters also left one after another, and when they returned to their homes, Xu Bai walked out of the house.
Tonight, unlike the others, there was no moonlight tonight, and the sky was dark and there was no light to be seen.
Xu Bai carried an oil lamp in his hand, a hoe in the other hand, and a ghost knife at his waist, walked out of the house and came directly to the bottom of the locust tree.
During the day, he has been thinking that under the double temptation of Buddhist scriptures and ancient trees with human faces, he feels that he can do business.
Especially the human-faced ancient tree, he was very greedy for the progress bar.
Helping Wuhua is equivalent to helping yourself, after all, it is equivalent to having two more helpers.
But you have to determine a question in advance, what Wuhua said is true or false, whether this locust tree is caused by an ancient tree with a human face.
If you want to verify the authenticity, you only need to dig up the locust tree to verify what Wuhua said.
The people of the Extreme Life Sect killed people and buried them under a tree, and there should be bones under the tree.
During the day, there were too many people to operate, and now at night, it happens to be the best time to operate.
Coincidentally, the farming tools taken from the blacksmith are now coming in handy.
Xu Bai put the oil lamp on the ground, held the hoe in both hands, looked at the lonely locust tree in front of him, raised the hoe without hesitation, and began to plow the ground.
With the addition of True Yuan Force, the speed has been significantly improved, and after a while, a deep pit has been thrown out by him under the locust tree.
Xu Bai threw the hoe aside, just now he seemed to have dug something, and brought the oil lamp closer to the front and back, so that he could see the situation under the tree clearly.
Beneath the dirt were entrenched roots, and among them was a white skeleton, dressed in red, entwined by the roots of the locust tree.
It has been buried for a long time, and the flesh and blood on the white bones have long since disappeared, and only this skeleton remains.
Judging from the scale of the skeleton, it was the bones of a woman, and Xu Bai unconsciously thought of the weirdness of the red yarn he had encountered before.
This red dress happens to correspond to the red yarn.
"There's really a corpse buried, it seems that Wuhua is right, this business is really going to be done."
When the rewards outweigh the risks too much, it's hard to refuse.
Xu Bai thought that the Buddhist scripture was nothing, mainly the progress bar of the ancient tree with a human face, if he could observe it a few more times, the harvest would definitely be rich.
It was getting late now, so he pondered for a moment, first buried the locust tree, and then planned to rush to Liufu now to communicate with Wuhua and them about this matter.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai was about to bring the hoe and oil lamp back to the room, but he didn't expect that at this time, he heard a strange cry.
"Goo~"
The sound was a bird's call, like an owl.
In a previous life, if this sound was translated into words, it would have a very special meaning, and it would be creepy.
Say...... Web novels.
If the author of the web novel typed the word "goo" in the post, there would be a lot of blades.
Xu Bai raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
On the wall of the dart board, a black-clad masked man stood, and on the shoulder of the black-masked man sat a black hawk.
At this moment, the masked man looked at him with cold eyes and did not speak.
Xu Bai also looked at the masked man, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.
After a few moments, the masked man held out his left hand.
The black eagle on his shoulder fluttered its wings and landed on the masked man's left arm, staring at Xu Bai.
Those eyes seem to have humanity, especially with the scene at this moment, which makes people's scalps numb.
"Extreme Life Sect?" Xu Bai pulled out the ghost head knife on his waist and gently rubbed the back of the knife with his fingers, his eyes gradually becoming playful.
"I just said that when it came to the time, why nothing happened here, it turned out that there were high-ranking people here." The masked man said in a hoarse voice: "Bad I have a great plan, I will choose a way for you to die."
"Oh? Pick a way for me to die? Xu Bai touched his chin: "Since I started this way, I haven't heard anyone say this to me."
The masked man rolled over the wall and landed: "You can try it today."
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
The black eagle in his left hand suddenly flew up and rushed straight towards Xu Bai, his eyes were cruel and violent, as if he was about to tear the person in front of him to pieces.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly.
This black eagle is unusual, even in the face of a tiger and a lion, it seems to dare to rush forward.
There are too many doors on the rivers and lakes, and he can't understand the specific ability of this masked man, but this does not prevent him from making a move.
The right foot is stepped to the side, and at the same time, the wrist is turned, and the ghost head knife is swept sideways from the bottom to the top.
"Whew!"
The big black eagle is split in two.
But the imaginary blood did not spill, and the black eagle that was divided into two suddenly turned into black mist and attacked Xu Bai.
In the black mist, with all kinds of roars and howls, there are faces emerging in the black mist, although the facial features cannot be seen clearly, but with the painful screams, you can also hear it.
Xu Bai had already been on guard, and he didn't despise the two words in his dictionary, when the black fog hit, there was a slight mistake under his feet, and the four Xun body methods were used, and the person was already like a ghost, moving sideways to the left.
But the black mist followed like a shadow, like a bone appendage, not only blocking the distance between Xu Bai and the masked man, but also constantly chasing after him.
"It turns out that he thinks I'm a martial artist and wants to keep his distance from me."
Xu Bai saw that the man in black still refused to step forward, but only operated the black mist attack in front of him, and already understood the reason.
From the moment he made the move, the masked man didn't say a word, as if he had already settled on Xu Bai.
But the next moment, his eyes showed a look of shock.
Xu Bai dodged the attack of the black mist, stomped his feet slightly, and the true yuan force flowed down his feet to the ground, and a golden formation suddenly appeared.
Flames rose and shrouded the black mist.
In the flames, the black mist slammed left and right, but it couldn't get out at all, and the shouts inside were even stronger.
"He's not just a martial artist!" The masked man was only slightly stunned, then turned around and ran without hesitation.
Originally, it was to block the limit burst distance of the martial arts, but now this person is not just a martial artist, that is another plan.
- Escape for your life!
The masked man crossed the high wall in front of him and prepared to flee.
But the next moment, a sharp wind sounded.
The masked man heard the wind and turned his head to see a round object enveloped in golden light, striking his calf.
The pain was like a tide, and the masked man just wanted to wail, but the next moment, three more winds came out.
The intact hands and feet were pierced with copper coins, and the masked man fell from the wall, screaming in pain.
Behind him, desperate footsteps sounded.
And the voice that made him creepy.
"Why are you so confident?"
