Chapter 42: The Millennial Dryad
Suo Ba analyzed that this is very likely to be a thousand-year-old tree demon, a few days ago Suo Ba flipped through the thick book of "Nine Heavenly Books", and there was a record of the thousand-year-old tree demon, and there was a picture.
The most troublesome thing for Suo Ba is that what is written in the Book of Heaven is very profound, and he doesn't read much of the book, so he can't understand most of the content in the book.
For example, in the book, it is written that the dryad "enters when it encounters fire; When it encounters water, it recedes ......"
Even after pondering it repeatedly, it must be confusing.
Many people still need to meet the facts in order to compare and understand a little bit, so even if he is given time to read the "Nine Heavenly Books", he may not be able to crack it.
Besides, Suo Ba was looking for content about the Tianchi Water Monster at that time, and he was just passing by the Dryad.
But most of the dryads are thousand-year-old dryads, as the name suggests, thousand-year-old dryads.
It is rare to have a tree that has lived for more than a thousand years in nature, and it is rare to see it in a few hundred years.
You remember, if any tree survives for a thousand years, it will become a demon, and of course not everyone can see a tree that has become a demon.
They tend to be hidden, mainly to avoid catastrophes.
These dryads all absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and at the same time absorb resentful ghosts in the yin place, so as to become essences.
Millennial dryads are often craving creatures, can move on their own, and are good at absorbing people's yang energy.
These dryads are some "difficult" guys, and it is harder to get rid of their "entanglement" than to climb to the sky.
If you are unfortunate enough to be entangled by it, the more you struggle, the tighter it will wrap up, and finally it will directly suffocate the person to death.
Suoba said loudly to Xiao Dunzi: "Xiao Dunzi, don't struggle, it's useless, don't worry first, I'll save you later." ”
Suoba circled behind the Yanma and crouched down; Draw the dagger, and in the moonlight, the dagger strikes a sharp flash.
Suo Ba squatted down and touched the vines on Wang Tianjiao's ankles with his hands.
The vine suddenly wriggled like a snake, and Suo Ba grabbed the vine with one hand and raised the dagger above his head with the other.
He whispered to Wang Tianjiao: "Don't move, otherwise it will be easy to hurt you." ”
"Hmmm......"
Wang Tianjiao agreed in a trembling voice, standing nervously in place and not daring to move.
Suo Ba raised the dagger and aimed at the vines behind Wang Tianjiao and slashed down, maybe the dagger was not strong enough, and the vines were not completely disconnected.
Strangely, a red liquid flowed from the dagger's cut, which looked like human blood.
Suo Ba raised his knife and fell with two daggers in succession, and cut off the vines wrapped around Wang Tianjiao's ankle, which can be regarded as rescuing her.
Wang Tianjiao was so frightened that she threw herself into Suo Ba's arms and hugged Suo Ba tightly.
Wang Tianjiao cried and said, "Oh, mom! I'm scared to death, what's going on? ”
Suo Ba gently patted Wang Tianjiao's back twice, and said in a comforting tone: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's just some tree demons." ”
Wang Tianjiao's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "Can a tree still become a demon?" ”
Suo Ba nodded and said, "Stones can become essences, didn't Sun Monkey jump out of the stones?" ”
Xiao Dunzi pulled his neck in the air and shouted: "Can you two let go, don't talk nonsense yet, I'm still hanging on it!" Put me down! ”
After Suo Ba'an stabilized Wang Tianjiao, he came to the tree where the small pier was hanging.
The little mound was wobbly in the tree, and he was strangled and grinned.
Suo Ba shouted to the little pier: "Fat winter melon allows you to see more scenery on it." ”
Xiao Dunzi shouted like a pig: "Oops! Starling, you're too damaged, you're about to strangle me to death. ”
Suoba said, "Okay! ”
Then he jumped up and slashed the vine hanging from the small pier with a swing of his dagger.
The little dun fell to the ground with a "grunt" like a mess of meat, and the fat winter melon screamed.
Xiao Dunzi was strangled so that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he almost lost his breath, and after he was rescued, he relieved for a long time before he came up to breathe.
"Is Starling still alive?"
Suo Ba snorted with his nose: "Don't worry! You can't die, Hades doesn't lack your piece of stinky meat. ”
"Boom......"
The vines began to move again, dancing like silver snakes.
Suo Bada shouted in shock: "Run-"
Xiao Dunzi didn't care about the pain when he received the order, got up and ran, Wang Tianjiao followed, and Suo Ba covered behind them.
I only heard the sound of flying on the grass like thousands of giant pythons behind me, and when I was running, Suo Ba turned around and peeked at it, only to see thousands of strands of vines, overwhelmingly following them, which was terrifying.
Suddenly, Suoba felt a tightness around his waist, and he was caught in the vines.
The vines became tighter and tighter, and Suopachi was firmly bound by the dryad's vines, unable to take another step.
Suoba looked down to see that the withered vines were still swimming on him, circling upwards in circles.
Suo Ba swung the dagger in his hand behind him, and the trunk of the vine was cut off by him with a dagger.
As soon as the main trunk was broken, the vines wrapped around his waist naturally fell off, and he continued to run behind Wang Tianjiao.
It was not difficult to stumble along the way, and Suo Ba and the three of them would always be constantly tripping over the staggered branches on the ground.
Then they got up and continued to flee in a hurry, and the three of them were chased in embarrassment, holding their heads and running away.
At this time, Xiao Dunzi shouted: "Starling is not good, there is a river in front of me blocking the way, I'm afraid I won't be able to cross." ”
Suo Ba replied loudly: "Hurry up, the dryad is afraid of water." ”
Xiao Dunzi heard Suoba say to let him go over, and he began to stand on the shore and hesitated.
In fact, Xiao Dunzi is more afraid of water, when he was a child, he went to play in the pond and was filled with a belly of yellow mud soup.
Later, he was grabbed by the hair by the adults who arrived in time, pulled out of the water, and threw him on the shore in one hand, so that he could be regarded as picking up a small life.
It was also at that time that he left a shadow in his heart, to exaggerate, when he drank water, he was afraid of drowning when he looked at the little water in the water bowl.
Xiao Dunzi looked at the wide and long river at his feet, and almost scared his urine out.
He glanced back at the overwhelming tree demon again, his teeth bit his heart, and he thought to himself that instead of being sucked dry by the tree demon and entangled to death, it was better to feed the eight kings in the river, and he would die happily.
Besides, there might be hope of survival in the water, so he ran desperately into the water.
Wang Tianjiao saw Xiao Dunzi enter the river and walk towards the other side, and she followed without hesitation.
Suoba also followed him down the river, his feet had just entered the water, and when he looked back, several tree vines had already flown from the sky.
Suoba slashed with a dagger, and several severed vines fell into the water, followed by puffs of white smoke.
Suo Ba turned around and waded across the other side of the river as fast as he could, and Xiao Dunzi and Wang Tianjiao sat on the ground facing the direction of the dryad, both panting.
Look at the inextricable strands of vines on the other side of the river, as if they dare not approach the river.
They tossed around on the other side for a long time, probably thinking that there was nothing they could do, right? Then they retreated like thousands of giant pythons.
Suoba was very puzzled, could it be that the dryad was really afraid of water? There is no other reason to explain this.
Xiao Dunzi gasped and said, "Starling, you are so powerful, you actually know that the dryad is afraid of water. ”
Suo Ba said seriously: "I don't know that the dryad is afraid of water. ”
Xiao Dunzi asked, "Didn't you say that the dryad is afraid of water?" ”
Suoba whistled and said, "I don't know if the dryad is afraid of water, but I know that you are afraid of water, not to mention that the dryad is afraid of water, where did you get the courage to go into the water?" ”
Xiao Dunzi blinked his big eyes and said, "Starling, what about the tongue twister you tell me?" ”
Wang Tianjiao tugged at the tail of Xiao Dunzi's rat and said, "It's better to be alive than anything else, where is there so much." ”
Xiao Dunzi touched the pumpkin head, blinked and the toad was silent.
Because the clothes of the three of them were soaked in the river just now, they were very cold when the breeze blew.
So Suoba found some dry branches, lit them with a fire breaker, and the branches were burned so that they "clicked".
The three of them began to gather around the fire, mainly to bake their clothes.
Xiao Dunzi really took off his big bare shoulders and put his clothes up with branches to bake.
By this time, the three of them were too tired, and their clothes were almost baked, and the three of them leaned under the same big tree, and unconsciously sat and fell asleep.
They all slept so dead that even a jackal beast didn't know about it.
I don't know how long I slept this night, and Suo Ba only felt a bright light shine on his face.
He resisted the stimulation of the bright light and opened his eyes, which turned out to be the light of the sun, which had risen very high.
Xiao Dunzi and Wang Tianjiao next to him were sleeping soundly, maybe Wang Tianjiao slept cold in the middle of the night.
At this moment, he is attached to Xiao Dunzi's arms, and Xiao Dunzi's hands are also tightly hugging the body of the big Yanma, which may be the legendary two hedgehogs warming each other.
At this moment, the two of them are more like a couple who share hardships and hardships, and Suo Bazhen can't bear to wake up this sleeping "lovers." ”
But it's not too early to think about it, and there is a task in the body that can't be delayed, Suo Ba thought to himself, "I'm sorry Xiao Dunzi, starling is going to disturb your good dreams today." ”
Before Suo Ba got up to call, Wang Tianjiao woke up by herself, probably she was also awakened by the strong sunlight.
Wang Tianjiao opened her eyes lazily, and her smiling face suddenly changed, because she found that Xiao Dunzi was hugging her tightly, but he was still asleep.
What's even more infuriating is that Xiao Dunzi's face is filled with a lewd smile, and the corners of his mouth are still drooling.
Seeing this, Wang Tianjiao couldn't help but be angry, and stretched out her hand to slap a big mouth.
Xiao Dunzi was sleeping soundly, and was woken up by a sudden big slap.
Xiao Dunzi covered his cheeks and asked Wang Tianjiao, "What are you doing smoking?" ”
Wang Tianjiao may have felt that she was a little reckless just now, and she blushed.
So he explained: "Ah! Little pier, you have a mosquito on your face. ”
"Mosquitoes? That's lighter, too! Yanma, you're too ruthless, so you can just slap me to death. ”
Xiao Dunzi believed it, grinning, revealing a mouth full of big black sesame teeth.
Wang Tianjiao said demonically: "Hmph! It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin doesn't know the hearts of good people, and in the future, the mosquitoes will suck your stinky blood dry, and the old lady won't care about you anymore. ”
Xiao Dunzi cheekily said, "If you suck my blood dry, won't you become a widow again?" ”
Wang Tianjiao took a sip and said, "The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, and he took advantage of the old lady again?" See that the old lady doesn't tear your dog's mouth. ”
Saying that, Wang Tianjiao pretended to reach out and grab Xiao Dunzi's face, but Xiao Dunzi didn't dodge.
Suoba scolded: "Okay, don't mess around, go, it's important to hurry." ”
Suo Ba and his party continued to hurry, still walking through this dense forest.
Just now the sky was clear, the sun was round and big, and suddenly it was cloudy, and the fog was terrible everywhere, and the visibility was less than a zhang.
The three of them walked for a long time and did not get out of this forest sea, as if they could always return to the big tree where they had just slept by turning around.
There is no progress on the road, the fog is getting bigger and bigger, and if the three of them don't have an accident, they may have another accident.
