"This ancient tree must indeed be dead, and the monster is just sheltering in it, using the ancient tree as its own carrier."

Lonnie looked at the ancient tree and said in a deep voice.

In this case, we are not dealing with dryads, but monsters hiding in ancient trees.

"When we find an opportunity, we will rush over and cut that ancient tree in two, and the monster inside will surely appear."

"When the time comes, we'll rush up and try to take it down."

We hid behind rocks and whispered about what to do.

At this moment, the last grass snake also crawled into the huge open mouth of the ancient tree and disappeared.

Immediately, the crack under the ancient tree slowly closed, and there was a crunch chewing sound.

When the chewing sound was over, the body of the ancient tree began to tremble, and from the bare trunk, countless branches actually grew.

At the same time, I noticed that the trunk of the ancient tree seemed to grow larger after devouring countless living creatures.

Click, click.......Ь.

Just as we were stunned, the cracked side of the ancient tree slowly turned towards us.

At this time, we discovered that above the main trunk of the ancient tree, near the treetops, there were two fist-sized holes on the left and right.

The combination of the two holes and the cracks underneath resembles a human face.

As the cracks closed one by one, the body of the ancient tree trembled, and the strange sound came again.

Could it be that the monster found out that there were still a few of us alive and wanted to eat us in the same way?

Fortunately, we had already been on guard, and the ancient tree trembled for a long time, but it did not attract us.

Seeing that his voice was invalid, the ancient tree seemed to be angry, and the tremor of the tree became more and more violent.

Rustle rustle......

With a fine sound, the countless branches of the ancient tree spread towards us like tentacles.

"Do it!"

Originally, we were going to pull the monster out of the tree, but now that it took the initiative, we didn't have to hide it.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

With my order, everyone who had already prepared made a move in an instant.

For a while, the sword light flickered, the runes filled the sky, and those branches that spread over were cut to pieces, and they couldn't get close at all.

The ancient tree didn't seem to expect our attack to be so fierce, and hurriedly retracted its broken branches.

We took advantage of the situation and threw a lot of talismans in our hands. Ь.

Thundered!

With a violent explosion, the countless branches that had just grown out of the ancient tree were completely blown off, and once again only a bare trunk remained.

Without the harassment of those branches, the threat of the ancient tree was greatly reduced, and we immediately ran to the main trunk of the ancient tree, took up our respective weapons, and launched an attack on the ancient tree.

It's going to get out of the monster that's hiding inside!

I raised my sword, aimed it at the rough skin of the trunk, stabbed it hard, and slashed it hard.

Whew—

The skin of the ancient tree was suddenly torn open by me.

Suddenly, a stream of red liquid sprayed out, almost splashing all over me.

I didn't expect the blood of this ancient tree to be red!

The inside of the bark is densely packed with blue-purple lines, like the blood vessels of the human body.

I was going to continue to pierce those blue and purple lines, but at this moment, a mutation protruded.

But I saw that the blue and purple lines kept wriggling, changing their shape, as if they had come to life.

Then I saw that the lines gradually transformed into a human face, protruding from the bark.

In my astonishment, the head of an old man came out of the trunk of a tree.

"Save Me ......"

The old man, with silver hair and blood on his face, let out a terrible cry at me.

It's actually a living person!

I took a few steps back, looked at the old man warily, and did not come to my rescue.

An old man suddenly came out of the bark of this ancient tree, who can guarantee that this is not the trick of the monster?

It's just that, for some reason, looking at the old man who called for help, I felt a little inexplicably familiar.

It's as if I've seen it somewhere.

At the same time, the ancient tree kept coming out of its head in all directions, shouting at my companions for help.

There are old people, children, men, women......

It seems that they should all be residents of Ulan City who have been swallowed by ancient trees.

For some reason, when they were swallowed up, they didn't die, but were trapped in the tree.

This is to sneak out while we are attacking the ancient tree?

However, Lonnie and the others, like me, took a few steps back, looked at the living people vigilantly, and did not act rashly.

"Brother Cheng, that's my grandmother!"

At this moment, He Xiaozhao, who was standing not far behind us, suddenly pointed at the old man in front of me and shouted.

I see, this old man is actually He Xiaozhao's grandmother!

I've seen a photo of her and He Xiaozhao before, so it's no wonder it feels very familiar.

"Brother Cheng, please, save my grandma!"

He Xiaozhao shouted as he was about to rush here.

"Xiao Zhao, go back quickly!"

I immediately shouted at her.

This ancient tree is too weird, He Xiaozhao is just an ordinary girl, if she gets close to the ancient tree, maybe there will be some danger.

"Brother Cheng......"

"Don't worry, I'll save her!"

Seeing He Xiaozhao's anxious gaze, I comforted him, turned around and walked over to the old man.

"Mother-in-law, grab my hand!"

I put the sword into my bag, and my hands reached out to the old man.

According to what I just observed, these are not ghosts that come out of the ancient trees, they are indeed living people.

In this case, I have promised He Xiaozhao to help her find her grandmother, and now I naturally can't stand idly by.

"Thank you, young man!"

The old man was grateful, and a pair of dry hands grasped me tightly. Xiushu.com

"Let's work together, I'll pull you out of the tree!"

As I spoke, I exerted all my strength and dragged the old man outward.

The old man also cooperated with me, and his body squeezed out desperately, trying to break free from the shackles of the ancient tree.

However, the skin of the ancient tree was like solidified cement, and half of the old man's body seemed to grow in it.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from the tree.

I was so tired and sweaty that I couldn't pull it anymore, so I had to let go of the old man, intending to take a breath first.

But just as I was about to let go, I saw that the corners of the old man's mouth were split to both sides, and a strange smile was squeezed out of me.

I was so shocked that I was about to burst out, but it was too late.

The old man's withered hands grabbed me by the neck and dragged me into the tree.

At this moment, the old man has become so powerful that I can't break free at all.

Sou!

I didn't even have time to call Lonnie before I felt a black eye, and I was dragged into the tree.
