Chapter 185: Tree Eaters Converge and Conflict
"This, this ......"
Everyone present was stunned, and they all subconsciously took a step back, looking at the dried corpse in front of them, their pupils were full of horror.
has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, what kind of corpse they have never seen, a dried corpse, just a trivial matter.
But most of them are either human killings or natural deaths, and the trees kill people, and this is the first time they have seen them!
Everyone present could clearly see just now that it was not Lin Chen or others who killed the middle-aged martial artist, but the trees around him, wrapped around his body with branches, and then sucked it to death!
It's not poisonous insects, it's not animals, it's big trees - cannibalism?!
"What the hell?!"
"Thisβthis is ...... Monster?! β
"Get away from the trees!"
The faces of the people who approached the trees turned pale in an instant, and they took a few steps back, not daring to approach any trees.
The old Taoist priest stared at the soldier in front of him, turned his head sharply and asked:
"Little friend, what the hell is going on?!"
Lin Chen didn't reply, but turned around and looked to the side.
The old Taoist priest was stunned when he saw this, and was feeling a little puzzled, but suddenly heard screams one after another from not far away.
This is...... Someone has been attacked again?! No, it's not!
He looked around and saw that everyone was present, and no one was attacked, so it was not them who were attacked, but people from the court or the family.
"Let's go over and take a look, after all, we've all come here, we have to meet more or less, besides, there are more people, isn't it more powerful?" Lin Chen smiled slightly, raised his legs and walked over.
When the old Taoist priest saw this scene, his face was a little uncertain, and when he arrived at the real place where the immortals were ascending, he didn't want to meet with the imperial family so quickly, so as not to cause conflicts.
It can be seen that Lin Chen insisted on doing this, and he had no choice but to follow.
Don't look at his innate strength, in the mundane, he is also a first-class character, but in the terrifying dense forest, and in this mysterious place where immortals soar, he can only barely have the ability to protect himself.
The entire team, if it weren't for Lin Chen's knowledge, avoided most of the poisonous insects and beasts, and escaped the attack of the miasma, I'm afraid it would not have been wiped out.
Now that he encounters the strange situation of trees eating people, he has no better way to deal with it, so he can only listen to Lin Chen's opinion.
"After this time, not only do you have to study the existence of immortals, but you also have to touch the Miao Jiang Gu Technique, supernatural legends and the like, and you can't just care about Taoist classics and martial arts......
The old Taoist priest secretly made a decision in his heart, and this trip to the dense forest had made him realize the importance of knowledge.
The rest of the team looked at each other, and then silently followed.
After all, people are herd, and in the face of danger, a person who knows a lot and has an assertive opinion is easy for people to subconsciously follow.
In this way, the whole team followed Lin Chen directly, during this period, they also deliberately kept a distance from each tree, although it was not clear whether it was useful or not, but there was a problem and there was a chance to escape.
Soon, not far from the woods, human figures were faintly visible, and there were wails and roars, and not only that, but there was also a strong smell of burning.
Fire attack?
Lin Chen's eyes moved, as if he understood something, he got closer, looked ahead, and saw people from the two forces.
But instead of confronting each other, they are fighting against countless branches.
That's right, branches, branches of trees.
I saw a thick smoke, countless barbed branches swept out frantically, constantly pulling the people around them into it, and it didn't take long for a burning corpse to be thrown!
And under the continuous sucking of the human body, the flames on this strange tree began to slowly extinguish, and then, countless new branches grew on the trunk.
"With saltpeter! Ice Tap! Ice Tap! β
"The head of the house, there is no water!"
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Seeing this scene, the crowd became more and more flustered and hurriedly retreated, however, at this moment, the strange tree instantly flew out hundreds of branches, rolled fiercely, and suddenly, more than a dozen people were forcefully pulled to the tree!
"No!"
The person who was entangled let out a terrible scream, only to feel that he was pierced by barbs all over his body, and felt a sharp pain that pulled his bones and sucked the marrow!
But at this moment, an old eunuch with a somewhat feminine face who was entangled in branches, his eyes were in vain, and a strong aura emanated from his body, and with a stroke of his hand, the long sword on his waist was suddenly unsheathed!
"Demon, die!"
An incomparably cold sword light, with a bone-chilling chill, bloomed beside it, and then, completely pierced the strange tree!
"The monster, if it weren't for the Sprinkle family to protect His Majesty, it would have been slaughtered a long time ago...... Well?! The old eunuch who had just landed said lightly, and just wanted to turn around, but his figure was stunned.
Because at some point, a root came out of the earth and wrapped itself around his bare feet.
"It's not good, it's dying back!"
The old eunuch seemed to understand something at this moment, his face changed greatly, and before he could withdraw, he was shrouded by the countless branches that instantly stretched out from the fallen trees next to him!
"Ah!!h
The terrible screams echoed throughout the venue, and the faces of everyone present became horrified when they saw this.
Because the old eunuch, but a real innate martial artist, was planted under a strange tree.
Not only that, but the strange tree, which had been cut in half, stretched out countless roots, and between the moving branches, it slowly stood up from the ground!
After absorbing the essence and blood of an innate martial artist, the monster tree that was hit hard began to recover on its own!
"What are you doing? Set it on fire. At this time, Lin Chen's faint voice sounded in the court and the family.
They seemed to have just come to their senses, and their tones were frightened but also angry: "Set fire, set fire!" β
Rumble!
Almost all of the fire oil brought in fell on the strange tree, and then, several torches were dropped, and the raging fire burned!
In the midst of the flames, the old eunuch was wailing, constantly trying to struggle out, but he was entangled by the strange tree, and finally, they turned into a distorted black shadow in the flames!
"Finally, finally dead......" The old emperor on the side sat on the ground, staring at the scene in front of him, with anger on his face.
Originally, before coming in, he was still in the chest, but he didn't expect this terrifying dense forest to lose two-thirds of their troops in one fell swoop.
After coming in, when he encountered this terrifying strange tree, he not only lost more than fifty people, but also lost one innate in one fell swoop.
The latter is particularly important, you must know that even if you raise the power of one day, you may not be able to cultivate an innate martial artist, but I didn't expect it to be folded here!
'No, we can't go on like this...... ' thought to the old emperor, and a wave of remorse suddenly rose in his heart.
It's not that he regrets killing one of his own innates, but he shouldn't have come in himself.
After all, he is good, whether it is those in power in the family, in the world, which one is not a big man?
They could have waited outside for the results, or sent people in, or used their forces to hunt down those who came out of the land of the Immortal Ascension, to absorb the maximum results
But after all, it was the interests of the heart, plus the fear of worrying about changes, and felt that no matter how dangerous it was, it would not go anywhere, so I came in person, and it ended up like this.
'No, we can't go on like this, we have to find a way to break the situation......
The old emperor's gaze became more and more ruthless, like a poisonous snake, constantly scanning between everyone, and when he saw Lin Chen, he suddenly paused.
If he remembers correctly, it was the kid's reminder just now that they were able to destroy this monster in time, could it be that he knew something?
The old emperor also knew that this association was a bit far-fetched, but he couldn't care so much about the illness and going to the doctor.
If you can't deal with these monsters and die here, then don't talk about any fairy fate!
The old emperor looked at Lin Chen with malicious eyes and said, "You, do you know something, and you don't want to recruit me quickly!" β
Lin Chen stood there, glanced at him lightly, and ignored him.
The old emperor couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "You guys don't hurry up and give it to me, catch that kid who bullied the king!" β
Several eunuchs beside him glanced at each other and stepped forward.
His breath is fierce and his steps are vigorous, and obviously, he is also a master of martial arts.
"Stinky boy, you dare to disobey the emperor's order, let the Sprinkle family train it well today......"
Before the old eunuch finished speaking, his tone was abrupt, and his face turned pale.
Because he flew up, he was forcibly stopped by a branch!
"It's not good, it's that monster ......" The old eunuch's face changed greatly, and before he could react, several of them were swept away by the tree next to them and turned into nourishing fertilizer!
