Chapter 14: The Dryad
Night.
The moon stars are scarce.
Li Yuanzhao walked on the sword, volleying like a meteor.
Fly out in the blink of an eye.
If a mortal sees it, he must think that it is a god descending to earth.
In this way, he chased dozens of miles, and further on, he entered a valley.
This valley is located in the mountain pass, the outside is wide and the inside is narrow, deep and strange, there are many birds, beasts, snakes and insects, and a hundred years old trees.
Except for hunters, few people usually set foot in this valley.
"Demon spirit!"
Li Yuanzhao is very sensitive to any aura left by demons, and he can find demons based on intuition alone, which is very powerful.
The blood ghost immortal was seriously injured by a sword and fled to the mountains without a trace, but the demon qi left in this valley was the heaviest.
There is a mystery in the set!
"Woo!"
"Squeak!"
It seems that in order to confirm Li Yuanzhao's judgment, not long after entering the valley, a group of red crows and birds suddenly flew in the sky, sometimes circling, sometimes flying, chirping, very rapid and piercing.
It's as if they're working a labyrinth.
It's a pity that Li Yuanzhao has been on guard for a long time, reined in the spirit of the Yuanshen, and has a clear mind, like an iron wall, invulnerable.
"Little witchcraft, delusional to stop the old man?"
Li Yuanzhao sneered, stomped on his feet, and accelerated forward.
After a while, we reached the depths of the valley.
There was a faint mist in front of him, hazy, and dense bushes could be faintly visible.
When the wind blows, the leaves rustle.
The strange thing is that when you enter the valley, you can see birds and beasts, but when you reach the depths of the valley, you don't see any living creatures, and it seems that the birds and beasts are afraid and dare not approach.
Only flocks of red crows are more and more, overwhelming, like blood-red xia.
The cries came and went, and it was uncomfortable.
Li Yuanzhao didn't want to waste time on them, but the screams were too annoying, so he grabbed the Five Elements Creation Sword and wanted to kill the birds with one sword.
Just as he was about to make a move, suddenly, all the red crow birds fluttered their wings and flew into the valley, one after another, like a magnificent heavenly river, pouring down from mid-air.
Li Yuanzhao looked into the sky and saw it clearly.
Those red crows and birds all landed on a towering tree, densely packed.
The tree is ten zhang high, and it takes at least seven or eight people to hug it in a circle, and the bark is cracked and blackened, leaving horizontal and vertical ravines, like the wrinkles on the old man's face.
The branches are also very luxuriant, and if you cut off a section, it is the thickness of a person's waist.
It seems to be at least a few hundred years long.
Ancient trees are not unusual, but the strange thing is that the leaves that grow on the trees are all blood-red and the size of a palm, which is very similar to the red crow bird.
No, it's not similar, it's exactly the same!
If you look closely, the fallen red crow bird hangs on the branches, swaying and squeaking in the wind, but it is the leaves of the ancient tree.
"Demon!"
Even mortals with the naked eye can see that this tree has become a demon, not to mention Li Yuanzhao's torch eyes.
He frowned slightly, and Edgeworth stepped forward.
When he was ten zhang away, the magic sword under his feet flew out suddenly, drawing a golden river and slashing the dryad.
Its momentum is like electricity, and its power is like a mountain.
No one or demon in the world dares to despise the power of this sword!
Sure enough, the ancient tree trembled violently in shock, and its branches collided with each other, making strange movements, "Great Immortal spare your life!"
Gu Shu actually spat out words and begged Li Yuanzhao for mercy.
Li Yuanzhao temporarily stopped his sword, brushed his beard and said: "Bold tree demon, dare to do chaos and harm people, I hold the right path of heaven and earth, how can I tolerate you!"
The ancient tree shook its branches and leaves in a panic, extremely timid, "Great Immortal, the small one is just a tree spirit in the mountain, and he has practiced hard for three hundred years, and he has never harmed anyone, please Daxian to investigate!"
"Never harmed anyone?" Li Yuanzhao thought it was funny, "Is being an old man an ignorant child?"
The dryad hung down all the branches, as if kneeling, "Great Immortal, the small ones don't dare to lie, it is the Blood Ghost Great Immortal who harms people, and it has nothing to do with the small ones." ”
"That demon has advanced cultivation and extraordinary mana, and he occupied this place three months ago, and he threatens to help him do evil. ”
"If the little one didn't comply, he would have eaten it a long time ago!"
As he spoke, the dryad whined and cried bitterly, as if he had a thousand grievances and was helpless.
"So you will help the blood ghost immortal psychedelic mortal and help the abuse!" Li Yuanzhao's tone was as sharp as a knife, and when he heard it, it was terrifying, and the demon heard it and frightened.
The dryad was extremely frightened, "Great Immortal, the little one is forced to be helpless, please forgive the Great Immortal!"
Li Yuanzhao thought slightly, did not cut off the sword, but slowly withdrew it, his tone was much calmer, and said lightly: "Okay, and tell the old man, where is the lair of the Blood Ghost Great Immortal?"
The dryad breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Thank you for your forgiveness, the demon's lair is under the cliff in front of you, it is a stone cave, and an old pine tree grows on the hole, which is easy to identify." ”
"Ask the great immortal to kill that demon, and the small one can also get rid of the sea of suffering, and he must practice hard in the future, so as to seek the right path and never harm anyone!"
This determination is full of sincerity.
Li Yuanzhao didn't say a word, just smiled slightly, stepped into the air, made a light body, jumped ten zhang away, and landed in front of the ancient tree.
Then, with a movement of his fingers, the Five Elements Creation Sword flew up suddenly, as unpredictable as a dragon, with surging golden light.
This kind of majestic sword qi came at hand, which shows that Li Yuanzhao's cultivation is very high.
The dryad screamed in horror and trembled like a candle in the wind, "Daxian! Daxian!
Li Yuanzhao didn't explain, and the sword slashed out, and ten thousand sword qi fell like raindrops, overwhelming the sky.
Whew!
Bang bang!
In the blink of an eye, the dazzling golden light illuminates the surroundings as if it were day, which is spectacular.
The branches of the huge ancient tree were slashed by the sword qi one after another, and they fell to the ground one by one.
The blood-red leaves also quickly withered, turning into wisps of red smoke and dissipating between heaven and earth.
"Ah......h
The ancient tree howled and cursed, but to no avail.
He thought that Li Yuanzhao could spare his life, but the other party was much more cunning and ruthless than him.
"The old man has killed countless demons in his life, and he has never let go of one, how can you be an exception!"
Li Yuanzhao has always been a style of exterminating demons, and he will not be shaken by a few words, and his politeness just now is just to ask about the lair of the blood ghost immortal.
As the sword qi sprinkled down, this behemoth that had stood for hundreds of years collapsed and turned into flying ashes.
Li Yuanzhao is such a terrifying cultivator, in front of him, the tree demon has no room to resist at all, he will kill when he says it, and he will destroy it when he says it.
Whoa!
The dryad was executed, and the thick trunk cracked and fell, revealing what was inside.
In vain, piled up into a mountain, but it is bones!
It's all human bones!
The flesh and blood of these corpses were sucked dry by the dryad, leaving only the white bones in the trunk of the tree, which accumulated over time, forming such a terrifying pile of bones that merged with the ancient tree.
To say the least, there must be five or six hundred.
Previously, this tree demon kept saying that he was innocent and had never harmed anyone, but the rumor was not credible.
Believe it, and it will ruin.
After killing the dryad, Li Yuanzhao stepped on the sword and continued to move forward.
According to the dryad, the lair of the Blood Demon Immortal is deep in the valley.
Kill him, and the matter is over.
For Li Yuanzhao, it is also a small merit.
