Chapter 94: The Bones of the Dead
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! β
Wicker waving, try to collide.
But it can only block, not break up the sandboxing.
The human face was smacked, and the Sweet Devouring Dryad was enraged, and then gave up his defense, allowing the wicker to blast into the Desert Witch's body.
"Rustleβ"
The yellow sand under her feet pushed precisely, and the witch retreated six meters, and the wicker was a little worse, and she couldn't touch it.
Taking advantage of the Sweet Devouring Dryad's stunned efforts, a straight punch slammed off a branch, and the number of wickers decreased again.
"Yaga! Yaga! β
The Sweet Devouring Tree Demon is in a hurry.
As soon as the emotions were excited, the speed of the wielding wicker increased, but the potential loopholes increased.
Hua Zhu was calm and calm, and her eyes did not ripple from beginning to end.
She adopted the kite flying tactics taught by adults, the enemy advanced and she retreated, and the enemy retreated and she advanced, smashing the branches one by one.
In the end, the remaining wicker of the Sweet Devouring Dryad was less than one-tenth of the beginning.
At this time, its threat was infinitely low, and Hua Candle rushed in, using tongs to cut it indiscriminately, and directly shoveled it bald.
Then, the bare Sweet Devouring Dryad was smashed ten times in a row, and one face sank.
It no longer dared to show a vicious expression, only frightened and begging for mercy.
"Crack the trunk, hand over your 'heart', and I'll let you go."
Ye Hanjun snorted coldly, worried that the dryad would not understand it all of a sudden, and pointed to his abdomen.
"Eight...... Yaga? β
There was a pause for nearly thirty seconds, just when Ye Hanjun squinted slightly, revealing a trace of killing intent.
The Sweet Devouring Dryad shuddered, and the trunk of the tree, which was more than half a meter in diameter, cracked into four petals, and a certain ball wrapped in slime rolled out.
"Baga ......" (; Πο½)
The Sweet Devourer Dryad walked on the roots of the tree and fled without looking back.
Ye Hanjun ignored it, holding the ball with some caution, carefully tearing off the film on it.
"What is this?"
Su Mei, Huang Dengshan, Zhang Wu, and Zhao Li gathered around curiously.
Seeing Assistant Teacher Han almost playing with the wood demon in a playful manner, they were no longer surprised.
But unexpectedly, Assistant Teacher Han didn't kill it, but cared more about this thing called 'Tree Heart', what kind of treasure is it that deserves so much attention from him?
"Huh?"
Zhao Li's eyes were sharp, standing behind Ye Hanjun, and she saw that under the torn film, it was actually ...... Frog?
"Quack...... Quack ......"
Inside the sphere, it is indeed a frog.
Not one, though, but a whole eight.
Each one has palm-sized, green skin, strong leg muscles, and black bean-sized eyes.
What made the four of them extremely concerned was that they were not bare on their backs, but carrying something on their backs.
Zhao Li didn't know how to describe it, because some were triangular, some were round, and the colors were completely different from green to red to purple.
When these frogs appeared, the Sweet Devouring Dryad had already escaped a distance of 100 meters.
But in the air, the sweet smell that had been overflowing became rich again.
"Luckily, there were eight ......"
Ye Hanjun raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"This is the cake frog, a special kind of frog spirit."
"They have parasitic abilities, and when they are in tadpole form, they will parasitize the body of the Sweet Devouring Dryad."
"When they become young frogs, they will be accompanied by the Sweet Devouring Dryad, which will provide them with a safe habitat, and correspondingly, the daily essential sugar will also be drawn from the cake frog."
Huang Dengshan and Zhang Wu stared, and their fingers trembled slightly when they took the palm-sized cake frog.
At the signal of Ye Hanjun, they took a bite of the fruity mille-feuille cake on the back of the cake frog.
When the just right sweetness bloomed in their taste buds, the pupils of both of them dilated, and they lowered their heads, not expecting the little cake to be so delicious.
"The cake of the cake frog, all natural, without any additives."
"Its nutritional value is also very high, and some young souls can eat it to promote physical development."
"Su Mei, Zhao Li, you can also taste it."
"After eating this cake, you don't have to eat anything today, your body will become warmer, and your mental state will be fuller, which are the potential benefits of cake frogs."
Su Mei and Zhao Li, when they heard this, they all swallowed a little saliva.
On the first sip, they looked at each other, and it was hard to hide their amazement.
"There are a lot of pastries made by the pastry chefs in the college...... It's nowhere near as soft and smooth as it tastes! β
"If this dryad can be artificially bred, these cake frogs ...... It must be popular, right? β
Ye Hanjun tasted the cake for the last time, and after eating, he showed an expression of enjoyment.
While wiping the cream on his fingers with a white handkerchief.
While letting go of the cake frog that had lost the cake in his hand, he saw it jumping and fleeing in the direction of the sweet devouring dryad, and shook his head lightly:
"Whether it's a sweet dryad or a cake frog, the growth cycle is too slow."
"It takes 30 years just to grow into a clay sculpture, which is far more difficult to cultivate than a normal soul."
"That's a shame." Su Mei deeply regretted it.
"Oh, give your ostrich a taste."
Night Hanjun handed Su Mei a second cake frog.
By the way, the remaining two were handed to Huang Dengshan and Zhang Wu respectively.
"This kind of living creature is too troublesome to carry, and the slightest carelessness will ruin the cake."
"Eat for your spirits, lest it be wasted."
Under the gaze of everyone, the pink ostrich, the iron wolf, and the big-eyed deer began to try things that they had not eaten.
Obviously, the taste bud organs are not the same, the ostrich tastes like chewing wax, and I eat it, but there is no delicious or undelicious expression, it is majestic, and it is enough to be pure and cool.
The big-eyed deer wants to enjoy some, gobble it up, and it's gone in a few bites.
The iron wolf was the most picky one, licked it, raised his head and looked at his master, that look, probably wanting to eat meat.
β¦β¦
The group continued on their way.
Under the strong perception of the Night Cold Monarch, the five of them continued to move towards the central area of the trial.
For the time being, we have not yet seen the perfection of the clay sculpture and the stronger Xiazhao Fetus.
Occasionally, you can come across one or two clay sculptures, but if there is no high hunting value, Ye Hanjun will take the students on a detour.
Not all spirits are going to hunt.
Being in the wilderness, full of resources, and constantly fighting one after another, there are disadvantages and no advantages.
If you don't pay attention to your physical strength, energy, and material reserves.
Next, it is possible to change from the identity of a hunter to a prey.
β¦β¦
Afternoon.
It looks like about two o'clock.
With a normal gait, Ye Hanjun, who was marching forward, slowly paused in his footsteps.
He raised his palm, and the four people behind him immediately raised their vigilance, and invariably lowered their backs, forming a combat readiness posture in four directions.
Ye Hanjun turned his ears sideways and listened first.
The sound in my ears was obviously not quite right, it was too quiet, and the chirping of insects was very rare.
Also, since just now, the light in front of me has become dimmer and dim, and a certain power that has been suppressed in the body is faintly throbbing, eager to activate, eager to awaken.
Ye Hanjun squatted down, took the long sword from Su Mei's hand, and gently picked up the leaves that covered the ground.
A fragment of broken and nearly weathered bone, exposing a corner.
What made his pupils reveal a hint of interest was that the shape of this skeleton could not belong to the spirit of the beast form, but to the ......
β¦β¦ Mankind!
"Interesting."
Ye Hanjun bowed his head slightly, looked left and right, and climbed an old tree.
With the advantage of height, he looked into the dark depths.
- There is no end in sight.
Although he didn't have the power to activate the dark attribute, with his eyesight, he couldn't see the end?
Ye Hanjun thoughtfully climbed down from the tree.
"Master Han, what are your concerns?"
"Is the front dangerous? Is it going to take a detour? β
"Nope." Ye Hanjun pinched his chin and suddenly chuckled:
"Ahead, there's a dark place."
"Even if the midday sun is high, there is only a small amount of sunlight that can fall through these leaves into the forest."
"This kind of environment is quite dangerous for you."
"We don't go deep, but we ......"
Ye Hanjun glanced at the ground, stepped on it casually, and whispered:
"Here, all of us, dig a trench and come out."
"Length, at least thirty meters, width, at least twenty meters, depth, fifteen meters or so."
"Trench ???"
The four students couldn't keep up with the brain circuits of Assistant Teacher Han.
They never imagined that after becoming dependents, they would one day need to dig trenches with the spirit of the covenant.
"Ask less, do more, and you'll know in the evening."
Ye Hanjun didn't answer, and drew the line with a long sword, and said:
"Hurry up, after digging the trench, I have to turn back to the place I passed by just now, and cut some hard bamboo."
"Yes."
Huang Dengshan and Zhang Wu responded to the call, picked up their arms and started construction immediately.
The iron wolf with claws naturally serves as the main force in digging pits.
Dig down a little diagonally, and then the big-eyed deer will come and kick a large chunk of dirt with a kick.
The pink ostrich was a little confused, it had never done this before, and it was difficult to get started at first.
But Sumy was patient and taught it over and over again.
Although it was still clumsy in the end, the pink ostrich kicked hard, revealing half of the head's large rock, and flew directly out more than ten meters, which was quite huge.
"Ahh Bone...... Bone! Human bones! β
Zhao Li suddenly took a few steps backwards and almost sat on the ground.
Her contract spirit is a broom ghost, so naturally she has no ability to dig holes.
But just a few minutes after the excavation began, Zhao Li was startled as half of the skeleton was kicked into the sky by the pink ostrich and disintegrated towards the Heavenly Maiden five meters in front of her, and half of her eyes were occupied by fear.
"More than one ......"
Su Mei was also a little scared, but she was calmer than Zhao Li.
Taking a deep breath and polishing a match, Su Mei cautiously poked her head into the pit probe that she had just dug out.
"There are human beings, and there are ...... of souls"
"It seems to have been dead for a long time, and the bones have been bitten empty by bugs......"
"Leave these bones alone and keep digging."
Ye Hanjun patted Zhao Li's shoulder and said calmly:
"This is supposed to be a mass grave, and it's normal to dig up corpses."
"In other words, your contract spirit is also a ghost, and you can feel scared even if you have only the bones of a dead person?"
