Chapter 15: The Last Shortbread
The arm weighed a thousand pounds, as if it had the power to break mountains and stones. With the sound of whirring wind, it smashed towards the black-robed man.
"How dare a mortal with the naked eye blaspheme the gods. The black-robed man turned a deaf ear to the tree arm that came from the shop.
His tiny body was so small compared to the treeman's massive branches. But he stood there, but behind him there seemed to be a heaven and earth.
His voice was very small, but it was like some kind of edict, and the huge arm smashed down, and then stopped less than half an inch away from the black-robed body, as if it had touched an invisible barrier, and it was difficult to advance a single inch.
The Tree Man found it incredible, he had been a tree spirit for nearly 400 years, and his cultivation had reached the realm of soul guarding. In addition, he was born in Youyun Ridge, where there is a lot of vegetation, even if he asks the strong, it is impossible to take his hammer unscathed. But the black-robed man in front of him took it so lightly.
Could it be that he is a star?" thought the treeman.
He had been a dryad for 400 years, but his consciousness had been enlightened early, and he had memories since he was a tree, and it had been a thousand years. He has seen too many things in the past thousand years, but he has never heard of the star in the world with this person in front of him?
The Treant raised his arm, and this time he smashed his hands together again.
The momentum is like thunder, and the sound shocks the world.
Bang!
A loud bang rang out.
Those hands still stopped half an inch away from the black-robed man, and it was difficult to enter.
"Four hundred years of tree spirits, just to feed my divine blood. A cruel smile appeared on the corner of the black-robed man's mouth. Black-purple tentacles poured out from the man's black robe, like a vicious snake, baring its teeth and claws into the treeman's body.
The Treant tried to resist, but found that something seemed to be unknown that had frozen his form, immobilizing him.
The tree people were horrified, and the people were horrified.
The tree man slaughtered those demons of the Nine Star Realm like killing pigs and dogs, you can imagine how terrifying the power of this tree man is, but in front of the black-robed man, he has no power to resist.
For the strength of the black-robed man, the hope that everyone had just given birth was once again shattered.
"Grandpa Tree!" Liu Dahong was even more anxious when he saw this.
His ancestors were from the Central Plains and planted a fruit tree in the garden. After the tree grows up, they use the shade of the tree in the summer and the fallen leaves to keep out the cold in the winter.
After fleeing, he came to the Northland. But I don't want the fruit tree to be created by chance, cultivate into a tree spirit, find the descendants of his family two hundred years ago, become the patron saint of his family, and protect his family from generation to generation. Today, Liu Dahong called him to let the tree man save his life, but now it seems that he may have harmed the tree man.
I felt guilty and scared, but I could only watch and there was nothing I could do.
At this moment, the branches and leaves on the treeman's head began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his vitality poured into the black-robed man's body along those black-purple tentacles. With each breath he became weaker and more withered than the last. In the blink of an eye, half of the branches and leaves on his head had withered.
"Hundred ghosts walk at night!" the black-robed man spoke again.
The voice seemed to be impermanent to hook the soul, and every time it spoke, the evil creatures became several times stronger, and they drove everyone to their deaths again and again.
This time was no exception, all the evil things turned into the Morning Realm. This is one realm higher than Gu Xianjun and Liu Dahong, who have the highest realm in the realm, and the number is nearly a hundred.
The evil creatures are approaching again, and the shadow of death is pouring in. Although the people were still holding weapons, no one stepped forward with a sword. They could only watch in silence as the evil creatures approached. They eventually lost the courage to resist.
Su Changan was still pulling out the knife hard, but he didn't give up.
He was no more daring than anyone else, and even he didn't want to die more than anyone else. Just because he didn't want to die, he wanted to resist, and he didn't admit defeat. Even if he will die at the hands of these ugly monsters in the next second, but before that second comes, he will not admit defeat, he will resist.
The attack of the evil creatures began, and Gu Xianjun and Liu Dahong were at the forefront. Although they are only in the Nine Star Realm, Gu Xianjun is the Marquis of the Gu Family, whether it is the cultivation of the mind or the Qingfeng in his hand, he is extraordinary, and he has some power to parry the Star Realm. And Liu Dahong has been walking the rivers and lakes all the year round and has rich experience in combat, so he can also fight against these evil things.
But the others were not so lucky, they only had the Spirit Gathering Realm, and the gap between them and the evil creatures in the Star Realm was too big. This gap is no longer something that can be made up by experience or other external objects, and it is full of dangers for a while.
And Gu Ning and his party are even more unbearable, not only do they only have the Gathering Spirit Realm, but they even have very little actual combat experience. only hid behind Gu Xianjun and Liu Dahong. But these two people are already beyond their strength, so how can they have time to take care of them.
A female ghost in red clothes and hair found the opportunity and bypassed the two of them to Gu Ning and his party.
She let out a scream, and the hair turned into a sea of sharp needles.
Everything happened suddenly, Gu Ning's faces changed, and they all sacrificed their internal strength to resist, but they who gathered in the spirit realm were the opponents of these evil creatures, and they were knocked away with a single look. They all fell in front of Su Changan, who was hiding at the back of the team, and Su Mo, who was weaker, even spurted out a mouthful of blood, splashing it on Su Changan's face, hands and knife.
The blood was still warm, pouring it in Su Changan's eyes like a soldering iron. He felt his vision blur a little, and he looked at the four people who had fallen in front of him. Their eyes were closed, their expressions were sluggish, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
"Momo...... Brother Gu...... Ji Dao...... Brother Lin ...... "Su Changan's voice was small and trembling, as if he was afraid of waking up something, and as if he was afraid of something.
He didn't get a response, and he panicked.
"Momo...... Brother Gu...... Ji Dao...... Brother Lin ......" He called again, a little louder, but still did not respond.
He thought of Nagato Town, and he thought of Nagato Academy. I thought of the handsome young man Gu Ning, the smiling Su Mo, the Ji Dao who often bullied him, and the silly Lin Ru.
No matter whether they have been good or bad to themselves, or they have no intersection at all, and whether they like them or not, but they are so vivid in their memories. But now they were all lying in front of them, disheveled and disheveled. No matter how he called, they fell asleep.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, his hand probed in his bosom for a while, and finally pulled out a handkerchief that seemed to be wrapped in something. A handkerchief is not a silk brocade, but a fabric for ordinary people's homes. It is dyed pale green and embroidered with unknown flowers.
Su Changan opened it tremblingly, and it was wrapped in a shortbread.
He felt a little hungry, opened his mouth and took a bite. The shortbread seemed to have been left out for a long time and was a little damp, but he still found it delicious.
Two more members of the dart team were dismembered by the evil creatures, and the knife in Liu Dahong's hand also cut a gap, and there were several deep wounds on his body, and blood flowed straight down. On the contrary, Gu Xianjun seemed to deliberately avoid something because of the evil creatures in the battle, although she looked embarrassed, she was almost uninjured.
At this moment, everyone is at their limit. Mentally and physically, there is no energy left.
"Wait!" Gu Xianjun suddenly said loudly.
The black-robed man seemed to care about her, and as soon as his mind moved, all the evil creatures stopped in that instant. Staying quietly in place, like a well-behaved pet, there is a world of difference from the fierce god just now.
"You say. The black-robed man looked at her with a smile.
"Let them go, I'll go with you. Gu Xianjun put away the sword in his hand.
Liu Dahong glanced at Gu Xianjun in surprise, the color was indescribably complicated. If it weren't for Gu Xianjun, everyone would not have fallen into such a dangerous situation, but at this moment, she had to sacrifice herself and just a few of them, which made people have mixed tastes.
"No, I can't. The black-robed man shook his head, his face unwavering. It's like a father rejecting a child's naughty request, inadvertently, and rightfully he rejects a few fresh lives.
"Why!? Don't you want to arrest me? It has nothing to do with them. Gu Xianjun's emotions that he had tried to calm down rushed out again, and his tone was a little louder.
"I can grant you many requests, but I can't agree to other people's requests alone. You can only ask me for yourself!" The black-robed man calmly explained the reason for taking everyone's lives, the same as the reason why he wanted to rob Gu Xianjun, which was absurd.
"Don't worry, though. I won't hurt you. He said again, and then there was a glint in his eyes, and the evil creatures turned into evil spirits and slaughtered everyone.
Liu Dahong looked around, and there was only one living brother of the dart team who brought, with a broken left arm, supporting his body with a knife, standing aside, and several students did not know whether they were alive or dead. He smiled miserably, raised the knife, and put it down again, he was so tired that the few wounds on his body alone were about to drain his blood. He could only stand, looking at the evil creatures that had been slaughtered, waiting for them to lift his head and cut his limbs apart. He closed his eyes, and his surroundings suddenly became quiet, and he could no longer hear the screams of the evil creatures or the mournful cries of the tree spirits.
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. One after another, slowly and firmly.
It was the sound of the soles of the cloth colliding with the mountain road!
Someone's coming!
Liu Dahong opened his eyes suddenly, and he turned his head to look.
It was a young man, fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, but carrying a large knife on his back. He walked step by step, his expression was as cold as ice that would not melt for thousands of years, but his eyes were shining, fierce as the wind, and as fierce as fire.
He held the hilt of the broadsword backwards in his right hand, and in his left hand he held something like a handkerchief, pale green, with flowers embroidered on the corners.
He stepped over the bodies of everyone who didn't know life and death, walked past Liu Dahong and Gu Xianjun, walked towards the overwhelming evil things, and walked towards the black robe.
Liu Dahong suddenly woke up to the fact that a large amount of blood loss had slowed his thinking and he couldn't distinguish many things. But after all, he still recognized Su Changan.
