Chapter Ninety-One: Cannibalism
Yang Rui stood outside the canopy and looked at the killing that was going on, and his heart was extremely shocked. This human-faced tree is really as fierce as the old man of the scorpion said to them, so many people are like cattle and sheep are slaughtered alive and buried alive and turned into fertilizer for the big tree.
At the beginning, the mysterious organization was able to unite so many sects and even beasts to jointly exterminate the Tree Clan, perhaps in addition to the value of the human face fruit, there was also a fear of the ability of the Tree People themselves. It is conceivable that the fierceness of that battle was unaware of how many powerful beings fell.
Under the big tree, a fairyland-like woman with a delicate face, a petite and delicate person, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit showing the concave and convex lines, wearing black gold treasure armor, holding a red spear, lightly shuttling between the roots.
The spear in her hand and the treasure armor on her body seemed to be of a very high grade, because although she only had the strength of the human fairyland, she repeatedly repelled the entanglement of those rhizomes with the sharp weapon in her hand, and from time to time the roots whipped on her body but failed to leave a trace on the treasure armor.
The spearwoman fought and retreated, observing her surroundings as she ran towards the edge of the canopy. She is a martial artist who cultivates alone, and she has no worries, unlike other teams who have to take care of her teammates.
Rumble!
Suddenly, as she landed in a clearing, she was pulled by a sudden shockwave and fell on her back. When I looked closely, it turned out that a warrior in the distance was forced to blow himself up, but fortunately, it was only affected by the aftermath, otherwise it would have been hit hard.
However, when she wanted to stand up and jump, she found that her feet were tightly entangled by a few inconspicuous twigs, which were absorbing her Yuan power. The twigs were so inconspicuous that she hadn't even noticed!
I just wanted to pick off a tree branch with a spear. Suddenly several thick roots flew from behind her, binding her hands and feet. She couldn't move, and the spear was out of her hand. The warrior struggled desperately. Lost his calmness just now, and finally showed a frightened expression on his face.
She was alone, with no companions by her side to take care of her, and once she was trapped, it directly meant death.
With two clangs, a sharp root tried to penetrate her body, but it failed due to the armor's protection. The woman desperately urged Yuan Li to break the rhizome in her hand, but found that more roots stretched out from the ground behind her and wrapped it tightly!
Soon, the woman's face and body were covered with tree roots, and she was wrapped up and dragged alive into the ground. In the end, he could not escape his fate.
On the other side, a middle-aged martial artist from the Heavenly Immortal Realm struggled to wield a huge axe and cut off the thick tree roots, with a look of horror and despair on his face, but he was gritting his teeth and struggling to support himself.
Because behind him was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, whose strength was at the peak of the medicine realm, and he was also a genius in them, this time he insisted on following the expedition team in the family to come out to practice, but he didn't expect to fall into such a desperate situation.
Surrounded by numerous roots and branches. The girl's figure was very weak, and she trembled and swung her sword to cut off a tree root, but she couldn't even hurt its skin. Here, attacks below the Yuan Dan Realm had no effect at all.
Fortunately, there was the uncle of the Heavenly Immortal Realm in front of him, who struggled to slash and protect each other. So that she is still safe. It's just that I watched many people around me being torn apart and dying to death, or being dragged into the ground alive. The girl felt disgusted and disengaged, and even the sword in her hand was a little unsteady.
"Xiao Yan, don't be distracted!Uncle will take you to kill you!" the Heavenly Immortal Realm martial artist shouted. Wake the girl from her trance and swing an axe to cut off a tree root.
At this time, he felt extremely remorseful in his heart. Obviously, I heard the legend of this human-faced tree from my fathers, but I didn't take it to heart when I thought it was strong, but I watched as the more than 300 elites selected from the clan were torn into pulp and turned into fertilizer for the big tree, leaving only this niece whom he loved the most alive.
Be sure to take Xiaoyan out of the ground!
The warrior shouted in his heart, and with great difficulty split a huge branch in front of him, sawdust and the broken limbs in it flew in all directions, and blood splattered like rain. It was a hellish situation, but now they were close to the turquoise curtain of light.
As long as you pass through that thin curtain of light, you can leave this bloody hell.
"Martial King Breaks the Sky!"
The warrior let out a loud shout and sacrificed the strongest combat technique he had mastered, which was a king-level heaven-level combat skill, created by the king of a country, and had suppressed countless opponents.
Boom!
The spiritual power on the edge of this light curtain collided fiercely with each other, and the giant axe turned into a sky-high straight line to cut through the solid boulder ground and slash at the light curtain. The roots and branches within a range of tens of zhang were cleaned up, and even some warriors who stood in front were smashed to pieces.
The light curtain, which originally looked as light as a thin veil, suddenly rippled, like a huge wave, rippling in all directions, and the earth shook and cracked, as if it had been tightened to a critical point, and it was about to break this side of the barrier at any time.
"Open it for me!"
The warrior's blow was already exhausted, and at this time, the bloody face looked extremely pale, and a pair of hands were still holding the giant axe, continuously outputting yuan power.
However, at this moment, two thick, sharp roots suddenly protruded from the ground behind him, and came out through his waistcoat and through his chest!
The warrior spat out a mouthful of blood, ignoring the fatal blow, took a step forward, his tendons burst out, and continued to convey Yuan Li to the giant axe, seeing that the light curtain in front of him was torn open.
"Xiaoyan, let's go!"
The warrior shouted in one breath after trying his best, and five more giant roots penetrated his body like lightning, shattering into a blood mist in the air.
Xiao Yan burst into tears, watching his uncle sacrifice to save himself, gritted his teeth, and quickly ran towards the gap that only allowed one person to pass.
Suddenly, a sword light flashed, the girl's figure froze in the air, her long hair fluttered, her petite head left her body, her face was confused and tearful, and her eyes looked at the gap in front of her, gradually dimming.
"Get out of the way for Lao Tzu!"
A thin warrior stepped over its corpse, trying to emerge from the gap.
But there were also many people who saw this scene and rushed over to be the first, and there was a fierce fight. It's in the midst of a fierce fight among people. The ripples in the turmoil gradually subsided, and the gap that had been cut by the Heavenly Immortal Realm martial artist healed again.
People looked at this moment with fear. More frantic fighting. Suddenly,Thousands of giant roots appeared from all directions。 Penetrated the bodies of these warriors, wrapped and dragged them into the ground, ending their ridiculous lives.
All this happened right in front of the young man in black, and the helpless eyes of the girl were deeply imprinted in his mind.
When the girl ran out, the young man wanted to come to the rescue, but was stopped by the old man of the demon scorpion and Tong Xuan, because they knew that if they entered the light curtain, they might not be able to come out again.
The most ironic thing is that the girl did not die from the attack of the human-faced tree, but at the hands of humans!
Man's indifference to life is even more ruthless than the laws of nature.
The boy clenched his fists. With thoughts surging in his heart, this was the first time he had seen the extremely ugly side of human beings.
Although he was ridiculed and ridiculed in the family in the past, he still regarded him as an important member of the family, and gave him special treatment for twelve years, and many elders and domestic servants loved him very much.
And now those who are besieged under the big trees are no different from wild beasts in his eyes, and they can sacrifice the lives of others for their own lives.
The boy kept asking himself, is this the nature of human beings, and if he was faced with such a predicament, would it be the same?
No!
Life is precious, and the boy's eyes are full of determination. His dark eyes are deep and vast, and he knows this truth deeply after losing his mother since he was a child. If a person loses his life, the most injured will be the loved ones around her.
It's just a choice, and many people choose to hurt others. Because it seems like the easiest option, there are also people like the warrior who choose to give their lives for others. The boy firmly believes that there are countless choices when faced with difficulties, but he will never choose to harm his life for no reason.
After figuring it out, the boy looked at the bloody battlefield again. I couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Boy!"
Suddenly, a low and old voice sounded in his heart!
"Who are you, and why do you have the aura of an ancestral tree on your body?"
"I want to ask you! Who suddenly had a conversation with me? Report your name first!" Yang Rui was startled by the sudden transmission, and asked unhappily in his heart.
"Forehead......" The voice paused and said, "This is the old man's abruptness." Old man Mugu, who was originally worshiped by the royal family of Wuyue, led a team to the ancient city to hunt for treasure, but encountered the Hachi Kingdom and the Black Eagle bandit group and was mortally wounded, and now it is the big tree in front of you. ”
"Are you the big tree!?" Yang Rui was taken aback, almost not calling out, a little unconvinced of what he had just heard.
"Alas, yes, I was originally a member of the Tree Clan, and I will become such a human-faced tree before I am about to fall, so as to leave the tree seed. The voice seemed to be a little helpless and said that the current situation was not what he wanted.
"Why do you want to slaughter those irrelevant warriors like this, do they all have an enmity with you?" Yang Rui asked, what happened to the girl just now was still vivid.
"Alas......" Old Man Mugu sighed and said, "This kind of scene is not my wish now, after incarnating into a human-faced tree, everything is in accordance with the laws of nature, even I can only control a very small range. ”
"If those warriors hadn't coveted the human face fruit, they would not have entered this dangerous place, and they would not have died in a foreign land to become the nourishment of the human face tree. ”
Although Yang Rui still wants to refute such an explanation, he is speechless, who can casually violate the laws of nature?
"Who injured you like this?" Yang Rui suddenly thought of the source, if the old man Mugu hadn't been fatally injured, he wouldn't have turned into a human-faced tree.
"It's Cha Brownba, the national teacher of the Hachi Kingdom over there, and Gong Weihang, the head of the Mobei mercenary group beside him, I didn't expect them to walk together. Originally, there was the boss of the Black Eagle Bandit Group, Yun Batian, but he had already been killed by me. The old man Mugu narrated them one by one, and he was almost ruthless when he talked about the worst.
"It's ...... them again" Yang Ruimo held the pendant around his neck, thought for a while and said: "That palace Weihang has betrayed the Mobei mercenary group, killed many brothers, and kidnapped two teammates, and I was entrusted to look for him." ”
"So what's the matter with the Zumu you just mentioned?"
"Zumu is the first big tree born with the qi of heaven and earth in the Taishi period, standing between heaven and earth, connecting the divine realm and the human realm, so that the two sides can communicate with each other. We Treants are all descendants of Zumu, and we were once so powerful that even the gods had any scruples. ”
The old voice of the old man of Mugu echoed in Yang Rui's heart, as if he had returned to the glorious era of the Tree Clan!
(If you want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.) (To be continued......)
