Chapter 184: Living Leaf Monster Forest
When the black smoke from one of the strange trees cleared, it revealed its shriveled appearance.
There are also many distorted human face patterns on it.
"This is a spell laid by someone, equivalent to an array eye?" Xiao Zishi took the weapon and carefully inspected the dead wood in front of him.
After this tree withered, the vegetation of the other trees was no longer abnormal, and there was no longer the strange feeling just now.
Xie Lingtian nodded, he probably understood the principle.
"This dead wood is the taproot, and after the taproot is cut off by me, it will be fine."
Others were relieved to hear this.
But Xiao Zishi looked up at the dense woods in front of him, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Is there only this taproot in this wood?"
Xie Lingtian shook his head: "It should be more than that."
His gaze immediately became firm.
"But we've got to get ahead!"
Xiao Zishi clenched his weapon and nodded to the others, "Let's go."
"Be on your guard!"
As everyone continued to move forward, Xie Lingtian felt that the trees around him had become strange again.
"Be careful!" He reminded the crowd of humanity.
But before he could finish reminding him, a branch emerged from the earth.
This time, the tree branch did not attack Zhan Ziqi, but attacked Annie, as if the tree had consciousness and knew that Zhan Ziqi's ability to transform his body could avoid damage and attack others instead.
However, Annie was already on guard and quickly dodged the sneak attack of the branches.
The strange tree couldn't be hit in one blow, and a few branches spread out of the soil, and Xie Lingtian swept it and cut off most of it.
But more and more branches emerged from the soil, and suddenly separated several people and formed a mass of vines.
Xie Lingtian swept and shouted, "Find the location of the taproot of the array eye!"
Zhan Ziqi used his liquefaction ability to drill out of the branches, but the vines formed by the branches were dense enough to block the view.
There are also countless dead leaves flying on it, and if you can't dodge it, you will easily be injured by it.
Xie Lingtian frowned, he was not afraid of this strange tree, but he was divided by the branches and vines of this strange tree, and it was difficult to take care of other people for a while.
At that moment, a flame burst out of the vine cage.
Xiao Zishi shook the talisman desperately, chanting incantations in his mouth endlessly, as long as the talisman flew out, it suddenly turned into a flame and burned from the branch of the branch.
The flame not only broke through the vines, but also burned into the earth, which formed a winding curve all the way to a large tree hidden in the bushes, and after the sound of the fire burned out, another twisted grimace appeared.
Xie Lingtian and Xiao Zishi looked at each other and nodded.
Seeing that the taproot was destroyed, there was no danger, Zhan Ziqi and Annie were about to relax, but Xie Lingtian still felt that the trees around him were strange.
He hurriedly shouted, "Something is wrong!"
"There's more than one strange tree here!"
Just as everyone was slacking off, another vine popped out of the earth, and the leaves flew like knives.
Xie Lingtian's eyes were quick, and he slashed out in the direction of the vine when it was not fully formed.
Cut off a large area of trees in front of him.
One of them emitted black smoke, and it was the dead wood with its grimace.
"There's something wrong with these strange trees!" Xie Lingtian looked around and saw some trees moving in the slightest way.
"They seem to be conscious, and they're approaching here!" Xie Lingtian frowned and said.
The rest of the people all looked nervous.
These strange trees may not be very powerful, and they can be destroyed at will once they find the taproot.
But they are better than surprises and abundance.
Xiao Zishi said in a deep voice, "We have to get out of here quickly!"
As he spoke, he held up a few more talismans.
Several people quickly ran forward, but those strange trees had already formed an encirclement network, and dozens of vine branches appeared in front of them in an instant.
Xiao Zishi kept using the talisman to open the way: "Hurry up!"
Xie Lingtian also used his sword to clear the attacks that came from the surrounding area.
Zhan Ziqi resisted with a water shield.
But there are more and more trees, as if the whole forest has come to life.
And with Xiao Zishi and Xie Lingtian's destruction, there are more and more taproots, and when some grimaces emit black smoke, there will be a low whisper, and they can't hear what they say, but they chatter in a low and terrifying way.
Suddenly, a sword light flew in.
Several figures cleaved a path through the dense bushes ahead.
"We're not late." I saw that it was Jing Gaoge and a few people who came.
I didn't see Jiao Yunhe.
The appearance of Jing Gaoge and a few people greatly slowed down the attack of these strange trees.
There were more people, and although the strange trees were still attacking, it finally gave Xiao Zishi and Xie Lingtian a respite.
Everyone temporarily withdrew from the strange tree formation belt and found a place with relatively open and flat terrain to discuss.
After hearing this, Jing Gaoge judged: "These strange tree taproots seem to be array eyes, but they are actually fake, the real array eyes should be farther away, and this formation is so flexible, someone is secretly controlling it all the time."
Xie Lingtian frowned, I see.
He said that how these strange trees seemed to have consciousness to avoid attacking Zhan Ziqi and instead attacked Annie, who was more likely to be injured, this was not at all like something that could be done by carving any formation.
"I'm afraid Pi Cang is manipulating these strange trees to attack us somewhere." Fu Man said.
"Hmph, wouldn't it be enough if it burned down?" Liang Wenfan sneered.
Jing Gaoge shook his head, "It's not that simple, it will actually plunge ourselves into the forest of fire, which is even more dangerous."
After that, Jing Gaoge took out a mysterious round instrument from his backpack and fiddled with it, and everyone surrounded him curiously.
The device appears to be made of metal, with electronic components on it.
But the problem is that in the center is a stone slab, on which there are various formation patterns.
"What is this?" Xie Lingtian asked puzzled.
Jing Gaoge smiled: "There are only a few formation instruments in the Huaxia Sword Holding Bureau, and this monkey hunting operation is more important, so I got it."
"This instrument can detect changes in the concentration and aura of the surrounding aura, and can capture the traces of the enemy, and the stone slab in the center has been carved by many formation masters found by the Huaxia Sword Holding Bureau, which can deal with many situations."
"Like now."
Jing Gaoge snapped his fingers, and then immediately pressed his hand on the stone slab, and a ripple quickly swung away.
Everyone only felt a strong sense of oppression rushing towards them, but it quickly disappeared into invisibility.
I saw that the vines that were still waving just now immediately froze in place.
"How does this work?" Xie Lingtian was also curious.
Jing Gaoge smiled: "Don't worry about this, this can only stop them temporarily and disturb the opponent's formation."
"In a few moments these strange trees will recover, and without anyone's control, this place will form a terrifying area."
Although everyone is still puzzled, it is more important to find Pi Cang now.
Jing Gaoge quickly packed up the formation instruments and took the lead in breaking into the Living Leaf Monster Forest.
Undisturbed by strange trees, they quickly jumped out of the jungle and came to the edge of the cliff where they saw the stone bridge.
On both sides of the stone bridge, there are still maple trees and dead trees with crooked melons and cracked dates, which looks extremely incongruous.
At the other end of the stone bridge, a man sat in a tree in the middle of the bridge.
The man opened his eyes suddenly, and the sky above him suddenly changed.
I saw that the clouds and mist above the other party's head suddenly dispersed, and a beam of light shot down from above, shooting on the stone bridge in front of Xie Lingtian and the others.
The hollow in the sky watched them move like an eye of the sky.
"Pi Cang!" Fu Man exclaimed.
"That's how Pi Cang is
Looking at us?" Xiao Zishi said uneasily when he saw this.
That day's eyes were like the judgment of the immortals, looking at everything from above, giving people endless pressure.
Jing Gaoge squinted slightly.
Xie Lingtian was disdainful: "It's just pretending to be a ghost."
