Chapter 52: Taking Root and Sprouting

Hearing this, Wen Seng Yu and the others fell into deep thought, and the favorite thing for their group to do in the reincarnation domain was to fall into deep thought.

But it's true that none of the three clues just now sound difficult to complete, especially the last one.

This time, it was not Wen Seng Yu and them who broke the contemplation first, but Bian Han's sister Zhou Shiya, who said in an extremely soft voice: "I have an idea, since two of the things we need are in the back mountain, then can we go to the back mountain first to try our luck, and try to get which one we encounter first." ”

Zhou Shiya's words seem to be logical, but they are not. Because the first item, the root of the tree, is a clue with no direction, and they don't know where the so-called tree king is and what its characteristics are. Instead of blindly searching, it's better to get the spider slime first.

But since no one had a better idea, everyone acquiesced to Zhou Shiya's suggestion.

After eating and drinking, the people got up and set out for the back mountain, but they still dispersed, and after half an hour, they reached a place halfway up the mountain, which had been marked by Wan Qian last time.

It's not easy to get rid of others, the combination of Wen Shengyu and Wan Qian wasted all their strength, and it took a big circle to be sure that no one was following them.

As the agreed time drew closer and closer, the two quickened their pace and hurried halfway up the mountain.

When they arrived, they found that they were the first group to arrive.

"People say you don't have to run so fast, they definitely won't be faster than us!" Wan Qian panted in the back.

"It looks like they've got a tougher opponent than we are." Wen Shengyu said.

While they were discussing, the remaining two groups also ran up in disgrace.

"I'm going to die! I feel like someone is still coming up! Hua Mulin's first sentence was this.

They looked around cautiously.

"Let's go, run up quickly, and we'll see if the fog is still there."

Although the dense fog had disappeared the last time she came, Wan Qian still had a fluke mentality, hoping that the fog was still there, so that she could easily get rid of the enemy.

Sadly, the fog had lifted, and they had lost their natural barrier.

Before they knew it, several people had climbed to the mass grave, and there was still a strange atmosphere here, as if something would come out of the side at any time.

"Hehehe~" An ethereal laugh sounded from the distance of the mass grave, which sounded like the laughter of a child.

"Hahaha~" This laughter came again, accompanied by a child running between the graves.

"You... See... I'm not the only one who sees it! Hua Mulin said this sentence with a crying voice.

"Shhhhh Xiao Xiaobin asked Hua Mulin to keep quiet.

"Hehehe~" The child ran over from that side again, his speed was so fast that Wen Seng Yu and they couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl.

After observing for a long time, Wen Seng Yu suddenly asked everyone: "Is it a person who just ran over?" ”

Wan Qian also found out about this problem, so he replied: "It doesn't seem to be a person, people vaguely see that the height and hairstyle of the children who come out every time are different, but they are too fast to see clearly." ”

"Hahaha~Hahaha~Hahaha~" This time the laughter came from all directions, this voice was heard very clearly, it was definitely not from a child, it seems that there is a group of children here.

"It's a new surprise every time I come here, hehe." Bian Han had already taken out the wine from his pocket, and it seemed that he wanted to use that trick "arson" again.

"Don't be impulsive just yet." Wen Seng Yu pressed one of Bian Han's hands. "How do I think these kids are different from the ones before, they don't seem to mean to hurt us."

In order to verify his conjecture, Wen Seng Yu slowly squatted down, and then shouted into the distance: "Children, do you want to play hide and seek with big brothers and sisters?" ”

"Hide and seek! Hide-and-seek! Hide-and-seek! This time the response was finally no longer laughter, but the voice was still ethereal and empty.

Wen Seng Yu turned around and nodded at everyone, and then continued to shout: "Is it good for the big brothers and sisters to come to be ghosts, if we are caught, we will exchange a secret." ”

After speaking, Wen Shengyu began the countdown: "Are you ready?" 100...99...98...3...2...1, okay, we're going to get you. ”

Wen Seng Yu's trick really worked, and when the countdown came to 1, the surrounding sounds became extremely quiet.

"Don't move if you're hiding, or you'll be fouled." Wen Seng Yu added a new rule, in order to let everyone find these little ghosts faster.

But they seemed to be hiding very deeply, and Wen Seng Yu and they had no clue after looking for 10 minutes.

Just when everyone was a little tired and wanted to give up, Wen Seng Yu found a noise next to a haystack.

Wen Seng Yu smiled and slowly approached the place, and then pounced hard.

"Haha, I found you!" But Wen Seng Yu pounced, there was nothing over there, it seemed that it was a plan.

The others didn't get anything out of it, and the kids didn't know where they were hiding.

They came over disappointed, dejected.

"Are they really not moving?" Wan Qian said. "If you lie, you'll be spanked~"

There was still no movement around.

At this time, Wen Seng Yu suddenly thought of a good way, although he didn't know if it would be useful to do so, he still had to give it a try.

"Oops! The spider spirit is here! Wen Shengyu suddenly shouted, and then pretended to hide.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Wen Shengyu, they didn't know what was happening, but they all reacted gradually after a few seconds.

Just as they wanted to hide synchronously, Wen Seng Yu observed that the surrounding trees had changed.

The roots of several large trees gradually protruded from the soil, and then stood upright, gradually taking on the appearance of children.

It turned out that these children were hiding under the tree and blending in with the tree!

No wonder they couldn't find any trace of these children.

"Big brother found you!" Wen Seng Yu pointed to a little boy who had first transformed into a human form, and then ran over.

But the boy looked panicked and ran away.

Wen Seng Yu knew what he was afraid of, so he shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, the big spider didn't catch up." ”

The little boy trembled visibly when he heard the word big spider, then turned his head to look left and right, and after making sure that there was no big spider, he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.

"Okay, Jia Wenhao, you have a lot of tricks!" Xiao Xiaobin praised on the side.

Wen Shengyu didn't care about Xiao Xiaobin's words, but continued to say to the little boy: "You were found by the big brother, the big brother wants to ask you a question, you have to tell me honestly, okay?" ”

Wen Seng Yu said this very gently, so the boy was not afraid of him, and at the same time, several other children also came over, a total of 7 children, 4 men and 3 women, each of them stood there shyly, not daring to make a sound.

The boy in front of Wen Seng Yu nodded, and then Wen Seng Yu continued, "Do you know where the Tree King is? ”

The boy struggled a little over the question and looked at his friends around him, but eventually nodded.

"Can you take us to him, then?" Wen Seng Yu continued to ask.

This time the boy did not hesitate, but turned around and ran to the hill deep in the woods.

Seeing this, Wen Seng Yu and the others immediately chased after him, Xiao Xiaobin ran at the end, he wanted to make sure that no one was keeping up, so the pace was a little slow.

It didn't take long for them to follow the children to a dead tree, which was no different, and it wasn't the only dead tree around, but they stopped here and didn't move.

Wen Seng Yu pointed to the tree, and then asked, "Is it the Tree King?" ”

The little boy nodded again.

Wen Seng Yu was a little curious, why he could be called the Tree King, so he turned his head and asked Wan Qian them.

"Do you see any difference in this tree?" Wen Shengyu said.

Wan Qian and they gave the same answer as Wen Shengyu.

"Then why is it the Tree King..."Wen Shengyu said to himself.

The little boy seemed to understand what Wen Seng Yu meant, tugged at the corner of his clothes, then squatted down and pointed to the root of the tree.

Wen Seng Yu squatted down with him curiously, and then asked, "Do you want the big brother to dig it up and take a look?" ”

The little boy nodded again.

After getting this answer, Wen Shengyu used the dagger in his pocket to dig hard at the root of the tree.

As he dug deeper, he felt as if the blade had touched something, and a faint cry came from deep within the roots.

The children next to them also covered their eyes with their hands and kept shaking their heads.

Seeing this, Wen Seng Yu put away the knife, and then changed his hands to continue digging the pit.

Wen Shengyu felt that the thing he had just poked should be the root of the tree, but why did he make such a sound.

When cleaning up the soil on the roots, Wen Shengyu finally saw the appearance of the roots.

This is the root of a tree, clearly a child with a human face and a human body, sucking nutrients from the soil underneath.

Their eyes widened when they saw this scene.

"Go and see if the roots of the tree next to you are the same." Wen Seng Yu said to Hua Mulin.

After receiving the instruction, Hua Mulin also saw that it was a pit planing project.

But he didn't dig up the roots that were still wriggling alive, just ordinary roots.

This monk Yu understood the peculiarity of the tree king, its roots are pregnant with fresh life, and these lives can be transformed into human forms at will when they grow up, that is, these children around Wen Shengyu.

But if that's the case, aren't these kids the "material" they're looking for?

Thinking of this, Wen Seng Yu hesitated, he didn't know what choice he should make.

The others didn't move, just quietly watched these innocent children.

"Be careful!" Bian Han suddenly shouted and ran forward and pushed Wen Seng Yu away.

At this moment, a sharp arrow flew from a distance, and due to Wen Shengyu's dodge, this arrow shot into the little boy's body.

"Ahhh!!h The other children screamed at this, and then turned into branches and burrowed into the ground.

"Fucking missed!" A man's cry of regret came from the direction of the arrow.

"It's the guy who just came with us!" Xiao Xiaobin ran over angrily, picked up the wine and poured it into his mouth.

Those people didn't know what was going on yet, standing still and waiting to see the joke.

In an instant, a flame burned on the man's clothes, and the two people next to him were startled.

"Fuck, this idiot is going to spit fire and shoot him!" The man patted the fire on his body as he spoke.

At this time, the person on the side picked up the bow and arrow in his hand, but just as he was about to shoot it, a flying knife just plunged into the man's heart.

"People didn't want to do it, but just now you almost shot Brother Chinese Hao, I can't bear it!" Wan Qian said the most hated words in the gentlest tone.

At the end of the sentence, another throwing knife plunged into the heart of the other person, and the two fell to the ground.

This knife was thrown by Xiao Xiaobin, but he didn't say a word, just glanced at Wen Shengyu, probably wanting him to hand over the knife to himself.

When the man in the middle saw this, he ran away, shouting as he ran: "A good man spares his life!" Heroes spare their lives! ”

When people are in a panic, sometimes the body is out of control, and the man falls to the ground without running two steps.

Bian Han walked over unhurriedly and said in a cold voice: "Some people want to run before they learn to walk. ”

As he spoke, he pulled the knife from the man's teammate's chest and gradually approached the man.

"Don't, don't! You can tell me to do anything! Don't..."

Before he could finish speaking, the knife slashed the man's neck.
