Chapter 212: The Price
Yang Rongrong looked the Heavenly Demon Tree up and down and asked curiously.
"How did you end up like this?"
Seeing that she didn't answer her question, Yan Hemei's brows furrowed even deeper, and although he was dissatisfied, he still patiently answered her words.
"My soul has been forced to bind to the Heavenly Demon Tree."
She replied very concisely, but Yang Rongrong still figured out the reason at once, her eyes rolled, and she said slowly: "Is this the price of borrowing the power of the Heavenly Demon Tree?" ”
Yan Hemei didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Back then, in order to seal the Demon Seed and Yan Linyuan, he used the power of the Heavenly Demon Tree.
But the Heavenly Demon Tree is not a philanthropist, and if you want to borrow power from it, you have to pay a corresponding price.
Not only was all the cultivation in Yan Hemei's body absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Tree, but even his soul was forced to bind to the Heavenly Demon Tree and could no longer be separated.
Yang Rongrong found a fairly clean place and let the unconscious Lin Yuan lie down.
She casually took out a formation plate and opened a protective formation beside him.
Yan Hemei looked at her series of actions and became more and more dissatisfied.
"He's a demon, and he doesn't deserve to be so nice to him."
Yang Rongrong raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Aren't you also a demon now?" ”
These words seemed to poke Yan Hemei's lungs, and he became angry.
"I'm human!"
Yang Rongrong sat down beside Lin Yuan, and said to Yan Hemei while trying to contact Luo Luo and Liulang through the contract.
"Look at your current appearance, how can you have a little bit of a human race?"
Yan Hemei retorted: "I had to turn myself into this way in order to seal Yan Linyuan and the demon seed in his body!" ”
Yang Rongrong smiled: "No matter what the reason, the result is that you have now become a demon...... No, you're not even a demon, you're only a monster at best. ”
Seeing Yan Hemei's angry eyes, she waved her hand.
"Don't stare at me like this, I'm telling the truth, just with your current appearance, once you leave the Demon Realm, those people outside will definitely dismantle you in eight pieces, and even the roots of the tree will have to be burned to the ground."
Yan Hemei knew that she was telling the truth, but because of this, he was even more irritable.
As the former leader of the righteous path, he had killed countless demons, but now he was forced to be tied up with the Heavenly Demon Tree, how could he accept this?!
As if sensing his mood change, the roots of the trees that had been quietly dormant on the ground suddenly writhed.
They swayed like tentacles, and black dirt fell in a whirlwind.
Coupled with the thick trunk of a tree with a human face and the surrounding black fog, there is an indescribable sense of horror.
Yang Rong felt like her ankle was entangled in something.
She looked down and saw tentacles growing from the roots of the tree.
The tentacles were black, long, and slender, and clung tightly to her ankles.
She drew her sword and slashed down, and the cold light flashed, severing the tentacles with a single sword.
The severed tentacles fell to the ground, arching their bodies like earthworms, and then disappeared into the dirt, and the surface of the roots of the tree where the tentacles had been severed grew again.
This thing is extremely regenerative and it is impossible to kill unless you can find its vital point.
Many tentacles crawled towards the abyss, but because he was protected by the formation around him, those tentacles could not penetrate the formation, and could only writhe desperately outside the formation.
Yang Rong Rong also hid in the formation.
She injected some more spiritual power into the array, making the protective formation more stable.
It took a while for Yan Hemei to stabilize from her frenzied state.
His face looked bad.
Ever since he was forced to bind himself to the Heavenly Demon Tree, his mind had also been affected by the Heavenly Demon Tree, and he had become irritable and irritable, and his emotions could easily get out of control.
Every time he lost control, he would forget who he was, and there was only one thought in his mind, which was to kill all the living creatures around him.
He knew that it was the Heavenly Demon Tree invading his consciousness.
Killing is the instinct of monsters, but he is not a monster, he is a human! He shouldn't have been!
Lately he's been getting out of control more and more often.
He had a faint hunch that if he continued to develop like this, his soul would be completely devoured by the Heavenly Demon Tree, and eventually turn into an outright monster.
He is Yan Hemei, the former leader of the righteous path, and the hero of the demon defense path in the eyes of many people.
He would rather die than allow himself to degenerate into an evil monster.
Thinking of this, Yan Hemei suddenly stretched out a thick tree root and stabbed it in the direction where Lin Yuan was!
The roots of the tree have much more attack power than the tentacles.
It slammed into the protective formation.
With a click, a crack opened in the array.
Yang Rongrong's face changed, and she hurriedly injected spiritual power into the array disk, wanting to repair it as soon as possible.
The roots of the trees hit the protective formation one after another, and the array plate finally couldn't support it and shattered completely.
Yang Rong Rong quickly threw a flame charm.
The flame charm smashed into the root of the tree, and the gas was blazing.
The roots of the tree are wood properties and are flammable when exposed to fire.
The thick roots of the tree were set on fire, and the flames spread rapidly along the roots.
It twisted in pain and slammed into the ground, the fire extinguished by the dirt, and the charred skin of the roots fell off in a flutter, and soon new skin grew.
Immediately afterward, several more roots stabbed towards the abyss.
Looking at that posture, it was clear that he was going to kill Lin Yuan.
Yang Rong Rong threw out another flame charm, and the roots of the tree were ignited again, and they had to retract to extinguish the fire.
Yan Hemei couldn't understand: "You are obviously a human race, why do you want to protect a demon race?!" ”
There are still a lot of flame talismans in the Yang Velvet Qiankun bag, but this is not a long-term solution, the other party has countless roots, and her flame talisman will be used sooner or later.
She had to stabilize Yan Hemei first and delay for a while, waiting for Luo Luo and Rokuro to come over.
So she said: "Lin Yuan is your son, you have raised him for sixteen years, even if you have a pet, you should have some feelings, not to mention that he is still your own son, how can you bear to kill him?" ”
Yan Hemei said coldly with an expressionless face.
"He's a demon, and the demons have no humanity, they kill people like hemp, and keeping him will only hurt more people."
"Humanity?" Yang Rongrong thought the word was funny, and smiled lightly in an uncertain sense.
Yan Hemei was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"If Lin Yuan really has no humanity, he will not risk his life to come to the Endless Abyss to find you. Do you think he didn't think it was likely a trap? He thought about it, but he still came, have you ever thought about why? ”
Yan Hemei was silent and did not answer.
Yang Rongrong said word by word: "Because he still has a trace of kindness in his heart, but you have snuffed out this trace of kindness with your own hands." ”
Yan Hemei denied: "He is a demon, and the demon clan is inherently evil, he can't have good thoughts!" ”
Yang Rongrong didn't go to debate with him whether the demons were good or bad, he was too paranoid, and in his opinion, all the demons should die whether they were good or bad.
