Chapter 018: Skeleton Treeman
"Weird?!"
Brother Eighteen's pupils vibrate.
10,000 years ago, the strange invaded the Zhongnan cultivation realm, causing the destruction of life, the ancient monks in order to survive, but also for the continuation of the human race, one after another rose up to fight back, in the end of the battle between human beings and the strange, tens of millions of monks in the south of the country to self-destruct, and the strange people died together.
Today's blood-colored forbidden land is the ancient battlefield of the past.
"Eleven, the stakes are very high, this is no longer something that the two of us can interfere in, I will notify the clan now, and let the elders send someone down the mountain to investigate this matter thoroughly. ”
The eighteenth brother's expression was grim, and he quickly wrote dozens of words on the paper crane with Zhu Sha, and then with a light touch of mana, the white paper crane flew into the sky lightly, flying towards Luofeng Mountain.
Seeing this, Fu Shiyi shook his head and said:
"Eighteenth brother, the situation is even more serious than we imagined. "Qingxi Records" records that this kind of weirdness that specializes in dismantling human bones will never stop once it is shot. ”
"Aeon was able to return to the city safely because the monster had placed a curse on him, and at the same time tonight, it would come to the door and take away Aeon's bones, and then choose someone to plant the curse. ”
"It will take ten days for the elders to rush from Luofeng Mountain to Yanyang Wood Forest at the earliest, and if we don't do anything, it means that ten more clansmen will die next. ”
Fu Shiyi read the relevant records of such strange things to the eighteenth brother, and said urgently:
"Eighteenth brother, it is less than three hours before it gets dark, we must think of a way to annihilate them before the monsters come to collect their bones. ”
The eighteenth brother was only more than ten years older than Fu Shiyi, and he was only a sixth-level Qi cultivator, although he knew that the situation was urgent, he couldn't think of a good way.
Fu Shiyi thought about the three stinkers and Zhuge Liang.
He first sent a message to Sanniang and Sixteen Brothers, and then quickly sorted out the characteristics of such strange creatures, and thought about their weaknesses.
After Sanniang and Brother Sixteen arrived from the ancient cliff house, she got straight to the point:
"If the contents of the Qingxi Transcript are correct, such monsters are called Skeleton Tree People, and they are born from cocoons in bone trees. ”
"The more bones the bone tree absorbs, the higher the level of the skeleton tree people born from it, but in the past two hundred years, nothing has happened in Yanyang Wood Forest today, it is obvious that this bone tree has just awakened, then the skeleton tree people born from it should only be of the second order, which is equivalent to our Qi cultivation period cultivation. ”
"Skeleton Treemen live on bone trees, and once the bone tree is destroyed, the bone tree will automatically collapse into pieces. ”
After the other four digested the relevant information, they met to discuss the way, and finally wanted to use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain.
Let the sixteenth and eighteenth brothers, who have practiced the ethereal footwork, lure out the skeleton tree man who guards the bone tree, and then Sanniang, who has cultivated the highest, take Fu Shiyi into the bone tree to annihilate the bone tree.
Because they plan not to startle the snakes first, but to follow the skeleton treemen who came to collect the bones tonight, find their old nests, and then act according to the plan.
That means one more person will be cursed tonight.
If their plan doesn't work out tonight, the fate of that person will be the same as Aeon's.
"Who's going to keep vigil for Aeon tonight?"
After a period of silence at the scene, Fu Shiyi first opened his mouth and said:
"Let's draw lots. ”
"No way!"
Sanniang's face changed, and she frowned: "I promised your father to protect you thoroughly, if you really want to draw lots, then write another one of my names to replace yours." ”
The sixteenth and eighteenth brothers were speechless.
Since they were children, they have heard that Du Sanniang is more ruthless in her cold face, and she doesn't want to be in a critical moment, but she is willing to give her life for Eleven without thinking.
They looked at Fu Shiyi's eyes with some envy and some shame, they couldn't do it for the sacrifice of others without hesitation.
"Sanniang, although my father didn't say it, I know that he has long regarded you as a family member, and in my father's mind, both you and I are equally important. ”
Sanniang was stunned for a moment and muttered in a low voice.
Fu Shiyi had already written a note and handed it to Wangcai's companion, asking him to choose one of them, he was a mortal with no mana, so naturally he would not cheat.
The person who won the draw was Brother Sixteen, he wailed for a while, and then licked his face half-sincerely half-jokingly:
"Eleven, you give me one for each of the Huoyun eggs to fry and fry, brother, I'm afraid that after eating this meal, I will never be able to eat the delicious food of this world again. ”
In these months, the turkey chicken laid more than twenty eggs, of which eighteen were seeded. Now that the fire mica hen no longer lays eggs, but looks for eggs everywhere to incubate, Fu Shiyi asked Fu Da's daughter-in-law to make a nest and give it the eighteen eggs to incubate.
For dinner, everyone ate Huoyun egg custard, which was smooth, delicious and delicious, but everyone was worried about the night, and only Brother Sixteen ate the most fragrant.
By the time it was late, the people of the city had ceased their activities and were resting and sleeping.
The whole east city was only the sound of insects and the occasional snoring coming from the window of a house, but outside the "small pasture" in the southwest corner of the city, there was a sudden sound of "pop, pop, pop".
"It's coming!"
Fu Shiyi was in the east wing, cast through the paper window, only to see a thigh bone emerging from the wall, a rib bone was tightly connected behind the thigh bone, one bone after another, like a line from the outside of the wall to the wall, when it arrived outside the main house Wangcai House, all the bones gathered together, vibrated for a while, and then "clicked", a humanoid skeleton stood in front of the window.
Fu Shi must have taken a look:
I saw that the strange three-year-old child's tall and withered body had peeling pale skin on the surface, its eyes and ears grew colorful seven-petaled flowers, its nostrils had new branches of green leaves spreading out, and its limbs were as thin as dead wood.
Fu Shiyi held his breath.
After the skeleton tree man entered the house for a while, he came out with the Wangcai bones that had been broken into pieces, and then his body "clicked" and scattered and slipped out of the city.
"Keep up!"
Fu Eleven and the four people performed the stealth technique, and they were far behind him, while the sixteenth brother who followed him was crying with a sad face, staring at the seven-petal blood-colored little red flower that suddenly appeared on his arm.
Apparently, the Skeleton Tree Man had planted a curse on him who was pretending to be asleep and staying by Wangcai's side.
The night is cool.
When the skull treeman left the city gate, he reorganized into a human form, and disappeared into the night with a swift leap and swiftness in his arms.
Fortunately, Fu Shiyi and the four of them all practiced the light body technique, otherwise they wouldn't be able to catch up with it at all.
The four of them followed until they reached the edge of the Longtan Cave where Wangcai and the two had an accident, and the skeleton tree stopped, and he raised his head and shouted a few times.
I saw that dozens of skeleton tree people jumped out of the Longtan Cave, which was originally closed, and a group of skeleton tree people jumped around a pile of bloodshot bones, jumped a few times, and then cheered, hugged the big stone wall that jumped into the Longtan Cave, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
