Chapter 22: Nine Days of Thunder
When night comes, the sky is cloudy, there is no starlight, there is no light in the entire ancient forest, only a few lights in the Lanruo Temple are swaying, as if to guide the direction of the returnees in the distance.
Wu Ming and Yan Chixia bowed down in the darkness and slowly touched the gate of Lanruo Temple.
"Aren't you a swordsman, why don't you go over the wall and go in, you must go through the gate?" Wu Ming followed Yan Chixia and asked in a low voice.
"You don't know, this dryad is proficient in formations, and there are enchantments she has laid on the walls around Lanruo Temple, and it is impossible to break through. Yan Chixia looked up as she spoke, and saw that the two mountain gates were empty, and there was indeed a gap between them that could accommodate one person to pass through.
Wu Ming and Yan Chixia glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and slipped into the temple through the crack in the door one after another.
The silent front yard was empty, even the lights were extinguished, and the ghosts should have returned to their respective quarters to rest during the day.
The two of them walked lightly through the courtyard, walked through the courtyards, and smoothly touched the dilapidated courtyard where the grandmother was.
Wu Ming squatted at the entrance of the courtyard and observed for a while, because it was too dark, he could only vaguely see a circle surrounded by stones in the corner above the courtyard, but he couldn't see whether there was anyone inside.
The demon tree in the center of the courtyard remained motionless and seemed to fall into a deep sleep.
Wu Ming suddenly remembered a question, turned his head and asked Yan Chixia in a low voice, "Does the Dryad need to sleep?"
"How do I know!" Yan Chixia lowered her voice and looked eager to try: "If you cut him with a sword, you won't know!"
"Don't cut the heart of the tree!" Wu Ming whispered, "I'm going to take it back as a souvenir." ”
Yan Chixia glanced at Wu Ming in some surprise, but didn't ask any more questions, but tiptoed towards the courtyard.
"You go save that female ghost, I'll deal with this old dryad!"
This division of labor was discussed by the two of them before, and Wu Ming didn't have much combat experience, so he just gave Yan Chixia a hand.
Seeing Yan Chixia start to act, Wu Ming also hurriedly walked lightly towards the stone formation in the courtyard.
The courtyard where he couldn't see his fingers was full of ruins and broken walls, and the ground was covered with large and small gravels, Wu Ming tried his best to keep his feet up and down lightly without making a sound.
Wu Ming successfully touched the stone formation, there was indeed a figure in the formation with his back against the stone pillar, sitting in a corner of the stone formation, Wu Ming looked closely, it was Xiao Qian.
Wu Ming walked behind the stone pillar, lowered his voice and said, "Xiaoqian, don't make a sound, I'll save you." ”
Xiao Qian, who was leaning on the stone pillar, moved slightly, and slowly opened her eyes: "Childe?"
Suddenly, her face changed suddenly, and she turned around and shouted, "Childe, run, it's a trap!"
Almost at the same time, a huge roar sounded, and the entire earth shook violently, and Wu Ming was directly bounced into the air, and then fell to the ground.
"Hahahaha......"
Accompanied by the laughter of the dryad, dim lights lit up all around, like a circle of floating ghost fires, sprinkling a bleak light on the entire courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard, Yan Chixia, a bearded man with a sword in his hand, was trapped in a stone formation that rose from the ground, and let him chop left and right, and the huge stone pillars were all standing still.
"Finally caught you annoying fly. ”
The figure of the dryad looked even more hideous under the reflection of the surrounding lights: "This is the array of mana that I specially prepared for you, you can't borrow the thunder and fire of heaven and earth, you can neither use the sword nor cast the thunder method, don't waste your efforts!"
Hit the trick!
Wu Ming immediately rushed towards the field, and at the moment, only by crashing into the stone formation and letting Yan Chixia come out could he defeat the Dryad.
It's a pity that as soon as he rushed out, a large number of dead branches suddenly gushed out around him, wrapping him layer by layer in a moment, hanging in the air like a zongzi.
Wu Ming was lifted in the air by the branches, and suddenly saw a woman in pink palace clothes standing under a wall lamp in the distance, looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Childe, Chun Tao is also forced to be helpless, haven't you heard a word called nonsense?" The lights on the wall kept flickering, and the face of Chun Tao was also flickering.
It's over, after all, I still believe in your ghost!
Wu Ming's mind turned sharply, now that Yan Chixia was trapped, he couldn't move, and there was only one last way left, that is, the thunder method he had just learned!
However, Wu Ming's thunder magic power is not great, and he must find the right time and location in order to do enough damage to the dryad.
You can't rush, you have to endure it now and wait for the opportunity!
Xiao Qian in the stone henge on the side also jumped and screamed, but she couldn't break through the stone henge, so she could only watch the branches pull Wu Ming and slowly float in the direction of her grandmother.
In the thick clouds above, a low thunderclap began to sound, as if a rainstorm was coming.
Black clouds overwhelmed the city, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was even more oppressive.
"Dead monster, let me out, let's have a big fight!" Yan Chixia waved her sword, slashing the stone pillars around her with sparks, but it was useless.
"Yan Chixia, you have been making trouble outside Lanruo Temple, harming fewer and fewer guests, I can't absorb enough essence blood, so I will gradually wither, the source of all this is you!
Grandma's voice was hysterical because of anger: "I won't kill you so easily, I'm going to lock you up here and let you watch me suck the living people into dried corpses, they all died because of you!"
"Can you let me go first, and then you two will slowly fall in love and kill each other!" Wu Ming struggled and shouted among the layers of packages, attracting Yan Chixia's attention and giving him a look.
Yan Chixia looked at Wu Ming, and immediately understood his intentions, then nodded slightly, clenched the sword in her hand and no longer slashed, but condensed and prepared.
"Stinky boy, your immortal bone is a good thing, I will bury you in my roots and absorb it slowly, and see if you can shout it out when the time comes!"
"Don't, grandma, you can't kill people!" Xiao Qian shouted loudly in the stone formation behind her, and two lines of tears rolled down.
I don't know when, Chun Tao has already walked behind the stone pillar, and said lightly: "Stupid girl, grandma killed a lot of people in the past, but you don't know......"
The thunder in the clouds above grew louder and louder, gradually stretching into patches, and huge silver snakes continued to leap out of the sea of clouds, and the bright electric light reflected the entire world into a miserable white.
"You kid smells so good, I'm going to smell it. ”
As Grandma's voice sounded, the branches continued to shrink, pulling Wu Ming to the demon tree, Wu Ming's face was almost attached to the tree, and through the large and small tree holes in the bark, he could clearly see the beating huge tree heart inside.
It's just an arm's length away.
Fight, don't want the gold bricks!
Wu Ming shouted with all his might: "It's now!"
"The sword is infinite!"
Yan Chixia roared, raised her hand and threw the sword with all her might, the sword reflected the electric light and broke through the stone formation, drawing a bright trajectory in the air, and with a bang, it pierced deeply into the torso of the demon tree!
Grandma was frightened and screamed, and then laughed: "Yan Chixia, is this your last ability, it doesn't hurt at all!"
But she didn't expect that Yan Chixia's sword was not used to attack, but to break through the branches that entangled Wu Ming!
This sword cut off most of the branches on Wu Ming's body, and the right half of his body suddenly regained his freedom.
"Heaven and earth are infinite, and Qiankun borrows the law!"
Wu Ming shouted angrily, raised his right hand of arc jumping, and struck the beating tree heart with all his strength!
At the same time, the thick clouds above suddenly tumbled, and a cyan lightning bolt jumped out of the sea of clouds, like a divine dragon descending from the sky, slashing straight down!
Lei Fa, borrowing the thunder of heaven and earth to fire among people, at this moment, Wu Ming took advantage of the time of heaven to trigger the thunder of the Nine Heavens!
"No ——!"
With a miserable howl from Grandma, thick thunder and lightning slashed down, drowning the entire courtyard in a sea of light.
