Chapter 40: The Tree Demon
Looking at the stone ring in his hand, Xu Zifan pondered, he could feel that this heavenly treasure in his hand was not simple, his current understanding of it was still superficial, and this heavenly treasure still had deeper secrets waiting to be discovered.
In addition, he has been in the world of Xiaoao Jianghu for nearly ten years, and he has a feeling that there are other secrets in this world.
For this world, he had a few conjectures when he first traveled the rivers and lakes, and he needed to wait for the future to verify, maybe the day the secret was revealed, it would subvert everyone's cognition.
In this world, everyone he knows, especially the people of the Huashan faction, from the wind to the ordinary disciples, he has more or less feelings.
Although it is less than a day in the real world, it has been almost a decade here.
In the past nine years, the place where I have worked hard to study is Huashan, and the place where I built the foundation of martial arts is also Huashan, and I have my own memories here.
Thinking of some kind of conjecture, Xu Zifan felt full of reluctance to everything here.
Including the great rivers and mountains of this rivers and lakes, the magnificent world, all kinds of people he met in the rivers and lakes, as well as many fellow disciples of the Huashan faction, he was very reluctant.
Put away his thoughts, his mind turned, Xu Zifan didn't think so much, maybe his kind of conjecture was just a blind thought, and he would know what the future would be.
Looking down at the stone ring in his hand, the lines are fine and dense, deep or shallow, intertwined and spreading, mysterious and unpredictable, after sighing, Xu Zifan stretched out one hand to the center of the stone ring.
Heaven and earth reversed, the universe changed, the stars shifted, a feeling of dizziness came, and after a while, looking at the familiar walls around him, Xu Zifan had returned to his room in the real world.
Looking down at the ancient stone ring in his hand, there is a colorful bubble in the center of the stone ring at this time, the bubble is like a soap bubble played by a child, colorful, as if it can be broken and disappeared with a light touch.
Having traveled many times between the real world and the world of Xiaoao Jianghu, Xu Zifan can feel the mysterious, unpredictable, and shocking nature of Shihuan Tianbao every time, this is a shuttle through the world.
After coming to the real world, Xu Zifan immediately changed back into the clothes of this world, went out to say hello to his parents, and returned to his room.
Looking at himself in the mirror at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he had fair skin, thick black hair, draped over his shoulders, and his eyes were bright and bright.
"It's like rejuvenation, is this the effect of several hair cuts?"
"Smiling proud of the rivers and lakes for nearly ten years, leaving no traces of the years? Haven't you been getting older? Or the effect of hair removal and marrow washing is too significant, covering the aging of the body. ”
Xu Zifan didn't know much about this.
I still remember when I returned to the real world this morning, my parents were shocked and surprised when they saw their "rejuvenated" body and thick long hair.
After explaining by themselves, they were relieved, after all, now the world is changing, and anything can happen, but every time the second elder sees his current physical state, his eyes still show a deep look of worry and concern.
Forget it, don't think about it, no matter whether his physical age has increased or not, he can feel that his current physical activity is countless times stronger than when he was in the world of Xiaoao Jianghu.
He's just getting stronger all the time, and it's useless to think about anything else.
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......" suddenly a deafening voice came.
"It's the sound of cannons......" The panicked voices of neighbors were heard around.
Xu Zifan's parents had already walked out of the house to check the situation. Xiao Huang, who was originally lying in the courtyard, had golden hair and a body the size of a lion, and quickly stood up and looked northwest.
And Xu Zifan appeared outside the door the moment the cannon sounded, he looked through the dense fog to the northwest outside the house, faintly in the fog, a big mountain stood in the distance, black and misty, like a monster.
That big mountain is Xiliang Mountain, and Xu Zifan and everyone in this small county town are very familiar with this big mountain.
Xiliang Mountain, strictly speaking, is not a mountain range, but a small mountain range, located in the northwest direction of this small county town, starting from the northwest of the county town, stretching for more than 80 miles, until the bank of the Yellow River.
In this mountain range, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the mountains are innumerable, before the change of heaven and earth, only a dozen mountains close to the county town are developed by human beings, and the more far away, the more remote, belonging to the barren mountains and wild mountains, the inaccessible track.
At this time, the rumbling cannon sound came from the depths of the Xiliang Mountains over there.
"What happened?" Someone exclaimed.
After the change of heaven and earth, there have been many strange and cruel incidents of human beings all over the world, and now most people are like frightened birds, but whenever there is a wind and grass, they are frightened, lest the strange attack and the demon ask for his life.
What's more, there must have been something terrible going on with the rumbling of cannons now.
The people near Xiliangshan moved quickly and had begun to evacuate, and the road was full of various types of vehicles, and for a time the road was blocked and the traffic was paralyzed.
Many people began to choose to get out of the car and walk, and the crowd was congested, which was mixed with the cries of children, the shouts of adults, and the exclamations, which was very chaotic.
"It can't be a strange appearance, right?" Some people were talking, and their faces were frightened.
"It is very likely that there is a strange appearance, and the state is organizing an army to confront it." There is speculation.
Xu Zifan's house is not far from Xiliang Mountain, about two kilometers away, and at this time, he and his parents and Xiao Huang are also preparing to evacuate here, after all, the safety of his family is the most important.
"Jingle Bell ......" rings on your phone.
Xu Zifan picked up the mobile phone, it was Heizi Lin Tian calling.
"Fanzi, quickly take your uncle and aunt and evacuate from Xiliang Mountain, there is danger over there!" Kuroko said hurriedly.
"What is the danger?" Xu Zifan asked, he wanted to understand clearly and prepare for the possible danger next.
"There are strangers who have found abnormalities in Xiliang Mountain, there are demons lurking, slaughtering humans, the national army and some powerful aliens have been dispatched to strangle demons, but the effect is not obvious, now the situation is not very optimistic, it may affect the vicinity of Xiliangshan, so Fanzi, you quickly take your aunt and uncle to evacuate." Lin Tian responded.
Then he said: "I learned this news from the unique channel of the special management organization of the state, and there are already powerful aliens in the organization who have come to support."
"Roaring ......"
Suddenly, a roar that resounded through the sky came from the Xiliang Mountain a few miles away, and it was getting closer and closer.
The people near Xiliang Mountain all raised their heads and looked at the other side of the mountain.
"Roaring ......"
The poignant and furious roar came again, and the voice was hoarse, full of anger, bloodthirsty, and furious aura.
"Look, what's that?" Someone shouted in horror as he pointed to something inexplicable in the dense fog in the sky overhead.
It was dusk, and only a remnant of the sun remained on the mountain, dyeing the thick mist of the sky a faint yellow.
At this moment, a monster with a thousand hands and thousands of feet, extremely terrifying, flew from the sky in the direction of Xiliang Mountain, looming in the thick mist, looking extremely terrifying and mad.
When the monster flew closer and closer to the crowd, everyone finally saw its true body.
I saw that this monster is tree-shaped, there are zhang Xu thick, the branches are luxuriant, the dark green branches around the body are hundreds or thousands, the thickness is different, some branches are as thick as a water tank, some branches are as thin as fingers, and so on, the length of the branches shrinks freely, all dancing in the air, the demon breath is surging, extremely terrifying.
And it broke from the tree, only more than three zhang high, and it was faintly visible that the fracture was scorched, as if it had been burned by fire.
Near the breach, some charred stumps and leaves were scattered as it flew through the air.
At the root of the tree, the black rhizomes are strange and converged together to form two black human leg-like organs that are more than one zhang long and uneven in thickness.
"Roar ......" the demon roared, the roar was furious, with a bloodthirsty madness getting closer and closer, and the fierce and angry voice was chilling.
"Hiss......" The sound of gasping cold air came, it was really a demon, and everyone had chills down their spines and cold sweat on their heads.
Although after the changes in the world and the world, I often see all kinds of demons in the news reports, strange and harmful, but in reality, it is still chilling to see it.
"Ahh Don't come......" Someone was already slumped to the ground in fright, and his lower clothes were wet, and a strange smell came out.
Others began to cry and panic, while many more pushed forward despite the crowds, trying to escape the place.
For a while, the crowd was even more chaotic, trampling on each other, and cries, scolding, and cries for help resounded throughout the area.
It's a long story, and it's only been a few minutes since the demon's roar came out.
The fleeing crowd was even more chaotic, and everyone was terrified.
"Huh......" A sound of wind came, the tree branches were dense, and the tree demons with fluttering branches flew over everyone's heads with the sound of the wind, and the dense fog in the sky was rolled up into a chaotic whirlpool.
At this moment, dozens of the hundreds of dark green branches around the Tree Demon branched out, and they quickly swelled and elongated, like a black demon snake, stabbing from the sky towards the chaotic crowd.
"Ah...... Help...... "Someone was stabbed, and the dark green branches pierced the body from the front chest to the back, and blood splashed, and then the branches were wrapped like snakes, and the person was tightly bound, and then the branches shrank back and flew into the air with the pierced person.
At the same time, dozens of people, men, women and children, were taken away by piercing their bodies.
"Ah...... Help me! Help me! ...... "Those who were impaled and carried into the air and those who did not die, looked desperate and cried out in horror for help.
Cries and shouts came from the crowd, and the area became even more chaotic, and everyone fled in all directions in a panic.
"Huh......" The Tree Demon broke through the mist with dozens of people who had been penetrated through the body, flew over the crowd, and flew into the distance, the demonic flames were surging, raging and arrogant, making people feel chills down their spines.
"Over there, chase ......" The voice was like a thunderbolt, and it came over, at this time in the direction of Xiliang Mountain, someone was looking for demons and chased them, listening to its strong voice, it must not be an ordinary person.
