Volume 4: Island Rivalry Chapter 153, Encounter with the Wood Demon
In the next few days, while sailing, the charter designed by Mapo was made into jade slips and distributed, and at the same time, the personnel were rearranged according to the attributes of the five halls, but at this time, all the members of the Four Seas Society were only more than fifty, and the monks were less than half, which was inferior to the last force in the Misty Sea.
On this day, Nie Yongwang felt that the cabin was suffocating, so he pulled Yi Xuan and Weng Yanghui to drink on the top deck, and threw out a few fishing rods to accompany the wine with the fresh sea fish he caught. While eating and drinking, Yi Xuan squinted at the fact that the sea ship happened to pass by an uninhabited island, and after a glance, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he reacted to what was wrong, so he lowered his head and muttered for a long time without speaking.
Nie Yongwang thought that Yi Xuan wanted to avoid drinking, so he raised his wine glass to Yi Xuan's mouth: "President, you are a little unkind! Your amount of alcohol, my Lao Nie knows best, I only drank less than five glasses today, and I want to steal and play tricks, Lao Nie, I don't follow, come and come, punish yourself with a glass!"
Yi Xuan was interrupted, and he was even more clueless: "Go and go, who said that I was stealing and playing tricks! I was thinking about an important thing just now, but now I was interrupted by you, Lao Nie, you have to punish yourself for a drink!"
Nie Yongwang raised his head and drank the wine glass in his hand: "No problem, my old Nie is never ambiguous when he drinks!
Yi Xuan was about to express the doubts in his heart, but he didn't know where to start, and was thinking about how to exit, when he suddenly snapped, and a lump of bird droppings fell from the air and landed at his feet, so angry that Nie Yongwang raised his head and scolded: "Why don't you thief birds have long eyes, but they and pee on your uncle's head......"
Yi Xuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, yes, it was this flying bird! Usually, when the sea ship passed by an uninhabited desert island, it would always startle the resting seabirds on the island to fly, but the small island just now was lifeless, except for the lush trees on the island, there were no birds and beasts, so Fang felt strange. When the ship was about to anchor and stop, he called the two of them to accompany him to check.
Circled around the island on a purple jade flying boat, carefully checked again, and found no traces of living creatures, picked a relatively flat sand dune, dropped the flying boat, and the three of them hiked into a large forest in the middle of the island to find out.
"Indeed, as the president said, there is not a single living creature on this island, not even the ordinary ants and insects in the woods, which is really a bit weird!" Weng Yanghui whispered to himself while carefully observing his surroundings.
Nie Yongwang had already drunk a lot of water and wine before going to the island, and one of his feet was careless when he tripped over a hard object on the grass, and almost fell, and when he looked back, it was a skeleton of birds and beasts: "It's really an evil sect! There are no birds here, but there is a skeleton here, could it be that someone specially brought it to the island to eat and threw it here?"
Yi Xuan lowered his head and picked up the beast bone, and took a serious look at it: "No, this is not like a beast bone that has been eaten by people or wild beasts! there is not a single tooth mark on the bone, and the flesh and blood are cleanly processed, not even a single tendon remains!"
Weng Yanghui took a piece of bone and put it under his nose and smelled it: "Not bad! There is no blood at all, as if it has been cleaned!"
When the three of them focused their attention from all around to their feet, they found that there were many white bones hidden in the grass and bushes, most of them birds, one or two beasts, and even a complete human skeleton. Nie Yongwang was a little frightened by this scene, and hurriedly said: "Let's leave this place quickly, this place looks gloomy, I'm afraid it's haunted, most of these skeletons or something were eaten by ghosts!"
Yi Xuan had been in the Absolute Ghost Country for a short time, and immediately shook his head in disagreement: "There is no ghost smell here, Lao Nie, don't talk nonsense!" As he spoke, he felt that something was passing away at the edge of his spiritual sense.
Yi Xuan motioned for the two of them to be silent, and followed behind him towards the place where he had found something just now, but when he arrived at the place, he did not find any traces. The three of them made an appointment to check separately, but as soon as they took more than ten steps, Yi Xuan heard Nie Yongwang screaming behind him, and hurriedly looked back, but somehow he actually hung down countless branches from the tall trees nearby and hung them in the air, Weng Yanghui also brandished a scimitar and then chopped with the branches, and quickly swung a few golden light blades to cut off the branches, and Nie Yongwang fell to the ground in response.
The three of them reunited, and Nie Yongwang said breathlessly: "It turned out that it wasn't haunted, it was this tree spirit!" Just now one was accidentally caught by it, and this time it hurt to fall on the buttocks, see that I don't cut down these spirits, I dare to hit my old Nie!" After speaking, he took out the giant axe, and threw himself towards a big tree with a strange scream, and after a few axes, green sap came out of the trunk, and the crown of the tree couldn't help shaking, as if the pain was unbearable.
The surrounding trees shook their leaves together, as if angrily condemning Nie Yongwang's atrocities, and flew out of countless leaves like a storm. The three of them didn't check for a while, and all the clothes on their bodies and faces were cut out of small wounds, although they were not fatal, they were painful. Yi Xuan waved out countless earthen walls in front of him, and the three of them slowly withdrew from the woods.
When the three of them were terrified, Yi Xuan took out three Aoki talismans one by one to heal the wounds, and quickly stopped the bleeding and recovered, but the evil qi in his chest was difficult to calm down, and he took out several flying fire meteor talismans and flame burst talismans, and set the woods on fire with a fire, and countless tree branches shook and struggled in the flames, but they had no choice but to take root here, burning into ashes in the raging flames.
When the fire was extinguished, the three of them braved the residual heat to return to the same place to check, only to see that there was still a small piece of green space in the devastation to maintain a faint vitality, leaving a wooden stake and the roots of the tree with greenery. Nie Yongwang stepped forward and threw the roots of the tree from the ground with an axe as a hoe, only to feel that a wooden heart in the middle of the stake emitted a glowing green light, which protected the last section of the root.
took out the wooden heart that still emitted green light and handed it to Yi Xuan, before he could check it, Xiao Zhong suddenly hurriedly transmitted: "Hurry up and refine it into a puppet, don't let the green light all dissipate, hurry up!" Xiao Zhong's uncharacteristically urging made Yi Xuan feel that this thing had a great origin, and hurriedly dismissed the two of them, sat down cross-legged and turned the wooden heart in his hand into a puppet.
Xiao Zhong said with confidence: "Your kid's luck is really good, this kind of wood demon that is rare in a hundred years has been bumped into by you! Now raise the puppet in your hand to urge the magic trick of extracting soul fire, and collect all the soul fire of the wood demon around here!"
Yi Xuan did not doubt him, and raised the wooden puppet operation technique, only to see countless tiny green points of light flying out of the burned woods, like a moth to a fire, it flew into the puppet in his hand, and after a while, the wooden puppet was green again, but the light was soft and full of life, and even Yi Xuan on the side felt refreshed.
"Earned it, you kid has this wooden puppet protection, this foundation building thunder tribulation can be regarded as a little hopeful!"
