Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Battle of the Green Ivy (I)
"Brother Han, in fact, we also fell into an illusion just now. Li Wanxiao weakly described the swamp illusion they were in just now, but she didn't know much about how Dugu Che cast a spell to break the game, so she vaguely said it when Han Qingbo asked.
"So, will your brother break the game?" Han Qingbo glanced at the man who was standing silently behind Li Wanxiao, his eyes were so deep that people couldn't see their thoughts clearly.
On the contrary, Mengzi waved his hand and said as a matter of course: "What's so strange about this? Even Brother Jun is not his opponent, what's so difficult about breaking a little illusion?"
"How powerful the illusion is, it mainly depends on the ability of the caster, the stronger the mana, the more powerful the illusion created. Seeing that Li Wanxiao seemed to understand or not, Han Qingbo patiently explained, "If your mana is stronger than his, then his illusion will not be able to trap you, and vice versa." ”
"So you mean, if Brother Jun's mana is higher than that of the person who casts the spell, then he won't have much risk, and it is even possible for him to escape by himself?"
"For this, I think you still don't have too much hope, if Brother Jun can come out by himself, he won't make us wait so long. Mengzi spread her hands, and there was a rare worry on her tsundere's little face.
This is the truth, Jun Wuxian looks unreliable, but in fact he is a very trustworthy person, he never makes people worry, if he hadn't met an opponent this time, it would have been impossible to disappear for so long and not appear.
Li Wanxiao became more and more anxious in her heart, "I'll look for it with you, it's always good to have more than one person, this time let's go far away and see if we can find other clues." ”
"There's no hurry. Dugu Che, who had never said a word, suddenly spoke, raised his hand and pointed to a big tree not far from the left front of the carriage, "Go and see." ”
After speaking, he took Liwanxiao's hand and walked straight towards the big tree. Li Wanxiao, who followed behind, was a little inexplicable, the tree was only about ten meters away from them, and the trunk was very thick, not counting Mengzi, I was afraid that it would take the three of them to join hands to barely surround it.
Han Qingbo said as he walked, "This tree looks like it's been around for hundreds of years, could it be that the tree spirit is causing trouble?"
"It's just a little sapling for a hundred years, even if it becomes a spirit, how much cultivation can it have?" Yumeko dusted off her clothes and said disdainfully.
Li Wanxiao nodded, what Mengzi said was right, he and Jun Wuxian had a thousand-year cultivation, and the hundred-year-old tree was really not worth mentioning in their eyes, and Jun Wuxian naturally couldn't be trapped by such a small spirit.
Dugu Che led everyone to the tree, raised his hand and gently touched the texture on the trunk, and said lightly: "He is inside." ”
What the?!
Li Wanxiao's eyes widened in surprise, and she saw a trace of red liquid overflowing from the trunk of the tree that Dugu Che had just touched. When I touched it, I found that the liquid was dark red and had a water-like texture, and except that it had no temperature, it was exactly the same as the blood that flowed out of a person's injury.
"What is this?"
"It was the blood of the old dryad. Mengzi touched his chin and pondered, glanced at the dark red bloodstains, and sneered, "This thing is indeed a refinement, dare to attack Brother Jun, aren't you afraid that he will pull out the roots?"
"Do we have to split it before we can save people?" Li Wanxiao didn't know about spells, but she knew that as long as she cut off the trunk, the tree would not survive, and at most there would be a stump.
"Cutting down trees? I see that you weren't a worry-free master when you were a child. Mengzi crossed his hands on his hips and said angrily, "Don't come up with bad ideas if you don't know the spell, you want Brother Jun and this old tree spirit to die together!"
"You know spells, then you say, what should I do!" A few people said here, and they didn't know what happened to Jun Wuxian inside, she was really anxious, this stinky boy still came to quarrel, and for a while she couldn't help her temper, and she was a little angry.
Seeing that the girl seemed to be really angry, Mengzi glanced at Dugu Che next to him, quickly turned his head cowardly, and said in a muffled voice: "I'll go in to explore the way, and I'll come out in a while, waiting for my news." ”
After saying that, the stinky boy put one hand on the trunk of the tree, and his small body gradually disappeared, and soon turned into a cloud of mist and floated in through the gap in the trunk.
Seeing Li Wanxiao looking at the disappeared Mengzi with a surprised look, Han Qingbo smiled, "Nightmares are ethereal things, and this kid will only reveal his true identity in front of Jun Wuxian, you don't have to be surprised by his incarnation." ”
"Oh. Liwan smiled in response, and the afterglow caught a glimpse of the calm Dugu Che, and a faint thought turned in his mind, Dugu Che is also a demon nine times out of ten, I don't know what he can become?
"I'm not a demon. An indifferent voice crossed his ears, and Li Wanxiao looked back at him. This person still had the same wooden face, his eyes fell on the trunk of the tree that had just been cut by him and bleeding, and he simply spit out a few words, but it happened to poke at her heart.
"Huh. Han Qingbo obviously heard it too, and only chuckled beside him and said no more.
Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, Mengzi floated out of it, and the entity that had just manifested was grabbed by Li Wanxiao, and her little body was pitifully and helplessly carried around by her.
"How is it, have you seen Brother Jun?"
"Don't, why are you in a hurry!" Yumeko coughed twice, and this girl shook his head dizzy!
"Jun Wuxian is fine, and he is not injured, but he fainted and was tied to the cliff in the illusion. I didn't dare to go in, so didn't I run out and report to you?"
After saying that, everyone sighed in their hearts, how capable is Jun Wuxian, how capable can he end up like this in the illusion of a tree spirit?
"Can we go in?" asked Liwanxiao anxiously.
Mengzi didn't say anything, and looked at Dugu Che, who was always silent. It is very dangerous inside, it is related to the safety of Li Wanxiao, he doesn't dare to make his own decisions, and he needs Dugu Che to nod.
For some reason, everyone's eyes fell on Dugu Che's expressionless face, where he had the strongest spell and the highest cultivation, and he had just successfully broken an illusion, so everyone was very tacitly waiting for him to give orders.
Looking sideways at Li Wanxiao, Dugu Che thought about it a little, and said softly, "Let's go together."
The most reassuring thing in his heart is this girl, in the illusion world, Jun Wuxian is still tricked, not to mention Mengzi and Han Qingbo? So after thinking about it, he still decided to take Li Wanxiao with him for personal protection, after all, there is no one here who can make him feel at ease to entrust.
"Good!" the little girl was very happy and answered happily. When he hesitated just now, he thought he wouldn't take himself with him, and then told her a bunch of words to pay attention to safety, but he didn't expect to agree so readily this time.
Dugu Che, I really love you to death!
Seeing that the little girl was obviously happy, Dugu Che turned to Han Qingbo again, and said lightly: "You stay behind." ”
He hadn't forgotten that Mengzi had said that the water was poisonous, so the luggage in the car should not be lost, especially the food and water. In order not to be drawn by the other party, Dugu Che assigned Han Qingbo to guard the carriage, and according to his ability, he should be able to do it without being attacked by the enemy.
Mengzi raised his hand to draw a circle on the trunk of the tree, and a path loomed in the haze, and his small body flexibly got into it, and then Dugu Che also took Li Wanxiao into his arms and quickly followed.
The road to the illusion is very long, but I don't know what spell Mengzi used, Li Wanxiao felt that the three of them were walking very fast, the sound of whirring wind passed in her ears from time to time, her feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, and there was a thick fog around her, and she could only smell the faint body fragrance emanating from Dugu Che's body.
"Did you bring a sachet, it smells so good?" asked Li Wanxiao secretly in his ear.
Dugu Che hooked the corners of his lips and chuckled, "No." ”
Hmph, this wooden face still knows that it stinks and is beautiful! I secretly brought a sachet and didn't tell me, stingy!
I made up my mind to ask this guy what he was bringing after I went out, and I got one for her, girls, they need to be fragrant to be beautiful!
Their speed was very fast, and the dense fog around them gradually receded. When Dugu Che stood still, he jumped out of his arms, looked around, and saw a fresh and quiet green, which made Li Wanxiao's tense heartstrings suddenly relax a lot.
"It's so beautiful!"
The scenery in front of them is completely different from the swamp fantasy they encountered, walking here makes people only feel that they are in a lush forest, everywhere is clean green, there is no trace of dust, the stream in the forest is flowing slowly, and occasionally one or two small birds fly in the sky, the appearance of the three of them seems to alarm the small animals here, Li Wanxiao was surprised to find that there were two gray rabbits in the grass frightened and ran away, and the two furry backs that fled in a hurry were particularly cute.
"This is a fantasy created by the tree spirits, beware of losing your eyes, it is important to save people. Mengzi was on guard at this time, and when he saw that he was obsessed with the scenery, he reminded him loudly.
Dugu Che beside her also pinched her hand, and the slight pain made Li Wanxiao come back to her senses, and she immediately cheered up when she thought that Jun Wuxian might be in danger.
The three of them walked cautiously among the grass, Mengzi opened the way in front of him, and followed behind him step by step from Wanxiao, while Dugu Che walked behind, so that the two people in front of him were always in his line of sight, so as not to have accidents.
Rustle~
Before you know it, the wind seems to be blowing in the woods. The trees surrounding them are blown by the wind, and the rustling of the leaves makes people's hearts more and more peaceful.
"Watch your step. Mengzi gestured, slowed down and said softly, "There are vines here that can entangle people, and Brother Jun is tied up by these things, be careful, don't touch them." ”
Li Wanxiao nodded, and the three of them slowed down at the same time, following behind Mengzi, for fear that taking a wrong step would cause something terrible.
The journey was very smooth, nothing strange appeared, not even the vines that Mengzi said, not far away was the cliff, from Wanxiao's gaze suddenly froze, and saw a dark gray figure in the distance, the person's hands and feet were bound by the green vines, just like that quietly hung on the cliff, motionless.
"Brother Jun!"
