Chapter Seventy-Four: The Heart of Wood

As his footwork improved to Dacheng, his speed skyrocketed again.

Whew!

Zhou Linjia's figure kept wandering in the almost airtight rhizome gap, and then he was unharmed, and he couldn't reach him at all.

It's my turn!

Zhou Linjia, who had had enough of playing, flashed cold in his eyes, and the seven stars slashed out one after another, only to see hundreds of knife shadows left in the air, and after a while, the broken plant rhizomes fell like raindrops.

The remaining roots quickly retreat back into the ground as if they were under attack.

"That's it?"

Zhou Linjia came to the hole where the rhizome broke out of the soil and kicked some dirt with his foot.

"Again?"

He looked up at the willow tree in the distance and said contemptuously.

It seemed that Zhou Linjia couldn't help it, and the mutant willow tree showed no reaction.

Even if Zhou Linjia approached again, he didn't make any move.

"Humans."

Just as Zhou Linjia was about to cross it, a faint voice suddenly came into his ears.

"Who?"

Zhou Linjia turned around suddenly, clenched Qixing, and looked around vigilantly.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything."

A naked woman walked slowly from behind the willow tree.

From the front, she looks like a normal human, but there are countless tiny rhizomes behind her that control her movements.

"Just stand there, don't come near me!"

Zhou Linjia's heart was full of vigilance, and he shouted: "What the hell are you?" ”

"I am what it is, it is who I am."

With a smile on her face, the woman turned to point to the willow tree behind her.

Zhou Linjia looked horrified, and couldn't help but say, "What the hell? ”

"Don't get me wrong."

The woman smiled, "I've absorbed your human memories, and I can probably guess that you might think I'm a monster in the form of a willow tree, right?" ”

Zhou Linjia's face was ugly and he didn't make a sound.

The woman laughed, "It seems that I guessed correctly, but in fact it is not, this body originated from someone in the hospital, and my consciousness was formed by mixing all the human memories absorbed by the willow tree." ”

Zhou Linjia looked at the woman in front of her, frowned and asked, "What do you want to do with me?" ”

"I want you to do me a favor."

"What's the busy?"

"Help me break my bonds!"

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Linjia did not relax her vigilance at all, and asked with a frown.

The woman turned around and showed her back to Zhou Linjia.

Dense tiny rhizomes burrowed into her flesh like veins, connecting her to the willows.

"See? I would like to ask you to help me cut off these rhizomes. ”

Zhou Linjia was puzzled: "Why are you doing this?" ”

The woman smiled, "I have so many beautiful pictures of the world in my mind, and I can only be tied to a tree, isn't it a sadness?" ”

"Then why don't you come by yourself?"

The woman faced Zhou Linjia and said lightly: "Because I can't hurt myself." ”

"Then why do you think I'm going to help you?"

"I can pay you, human, what do you want? Money or women? ”

"Neither."

Zhou Linjia's answer was a little unexpected by the woman, she frowned for the first time, and said in confusion: "Don't you love women and don't like money?" ”

"I'm a decent man."

The woman's eyes were downward, looking at Zhou Linjia's lower body, as if she had thought of something.

She beckoned slightly, and a wicker flew closer, opening it to reveal an emerald green bead.

"I call it the Heart of Wood, which contains the power of life and should be able to cure your stubborn disease."

Zhou Linjia was puzzled: "What stubborn disease?" ”

The woman smiled, "I know that's embarrassing for you male humans, but you don't have to be embarrassed that I'm not human. ”

Zhou Linjia guessed her thoughts according to her gaze, and immediately rolled her eyes, and said helplessly: "You misunderstood, but I'm very interested in this wood heart, how many do you have?" ”

"I only have two."

"Give it all to me."

The woman looked at Zhou Linjia in surprise and said speechlessly: "I only have two, both of them are given to you, what do I use?" ”

"Then I'm leaving."

Zhou Linjia spread his hands and said, "You can find someone else's help." ”

With that, he raised his leg and stepped back.

After thinking deeply, the woman replied, "Okay, then I'll give you both." ”

"Don't worry, my conditions haven't been finished yet."

Zhou Linjia rolled his eyes and continued: "Are there any living humans in the hospital?" I'm going to take her away. ”

The woman shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, there are no living people in the hospital. ”

"Really?"

"Lies are a kind of advanced human thinking, and I haven't learned it yet."

"Really?"

Zhou Linjia touched his chin and said tentatively: "Do you think I'm handsome?" ”

"In the general aesthetic of all human beings, your appearance is above average."

Zhou Linjia said angrily: "You still say that you can't lie? ”

"I'm not lying, and I didn't finish talking about it, even though you don't look exquisite, your body is among the best among humans, and you're a handsome guy in general."

Zhou Linjia touched his chin and asked again, "After I help you get rid of the shackles, what will you do to me?" ”

The woman said lightly: "I will take back a wooden heart." ”

"What?"

Zhou Linjia said viciously: "Okay, you, let's leak your mouth!" ”

The woman was silent, and after a moment replied, "I said, I haven't learned to lie yet." ”

"Does the heart of wood work a lot for you? Why do you have to get one back? ”

"After I broke away from the willow tree, I lost my energy source, and the Heart of Wood can be used as a substitute to provide me with energy."

"Since the Wooden Heart is so important to you, then I can give you one of the Wooden Hearts, but it's not for free, you have to exchange something with me."

The woman looked at Zhou Linjia quietly, and said softly after a long time: "I won't lie, but I'm not a fool, Mu Zhixin is originally mine, why should I exchange something with you for something that belongs to me?" ”

Zhou Linjia was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and changed the topic: "Are you sure there are no living people in the hospital?" ”

"I'm sure."

That's weird, Zhou Linjia frowned slightly.

If there is no one in the hospital, where is the Dr. Du that Qu Mengyun said?

Could it be that she lied to him before?

Impossible.

Just as Zhou Linjia was thinking, the woman coughed lightly and asked, "How are you thinking, how about you help me get rid of the shackles with a wooden heart?" ”

"Okay."

Zhou Linjia nodded in agreement, and then asked, "How to do it?" Do you cut off all the rhizomes directly? ”

"Yes, but please be careful not to cut me, or it will take me a long time to recover from the willow tree."

"No problem, trust my skills."

Zhou Linjia raised the seven stars, and just as he was about to cut them off, countless wickers suddenly burst out.

His face changed, and he roared, "What the are you doing? ”

"I'm sorry I forgot to say that the willow tree will prevent me from getting out of it."
