Chapter 952 The Savior Arrives

It must be said that Deng Kai was quite smart at the critical moment. He said this to Gu Hao and also to the fake Song Jiang. Since the other party could impersonate Song Jiang, he would naturally be aware of Meng Zhe's existence. Therefore, Deng Kai wanted to use Meng Zhe's reputation to scare away this fake Song Jiang who was transformed from some unknown demon.

Unexpectedly, Deng Kai had just run a few steps when he suddenly felt his feet go empty. Then he was hung in the air by a huge force. Although Gu Hao's words telling him not to look back were still fresh in his mind, he was afraid that it was impossible for him not to look back.

As a result, Deng Kai almost got scared to death when he turned around. He saw a tree root suddenly extending from Song Jiang's body, tightly wrapped around his waist. No matter how hard Deng Kai tried, he couldn't pry it free, so he could only shout loudly, "Gu Hao!"

Unfortunately, Gu Hao was also busy with his own affairs at this time, otherwise he would not have let Deng Kai run away first. However, he still failed. After seeing Deng Kai trapped, Gu Hao tried several times to cut off the tree roots wrapped around his waist, but the fake Song Jiang was too powerful. Gu Hao tried several times but failed. He knew that it was really difficult to win with his mortal body...

Even though the reality was very grim, Gu Hao still wanted to give it a try, otherwise he and Deng Kai, and even the missing Song Jiang, might disappear silently from this world, and even Meng Zhe wouldn't be able to find any trace of them... Thinking of this, Gu Hao made up his mind, tore off a piece of cloth from his body and tied Qianrencho tightly to his hand, then took out a few silver needles to seal a few major acupoints and reverse the true energy around his body. This would allow Gu Hao to burst out with spiritual power in a short period of time, and perhaps save one person's life.

The fake Song Jiang watched Gu Hao's actions with great interest. He wanted to see how far this mortal could go to achieve his goal. Then Gu Hao pounced on the fake Song Jiang, ready to fight to the death. The fake Song Jiang was caught off guard and therefore ignored the tree roots that were wrapped around Deng Kai. Gu Hao took the opportunity to slash the tree roots from bottom to top, and Deng Kai, who had been hanging in the air, instantly became a free fall and fell heavily to the ground...

The fall was quite severe, but Deng Kai still gritted his teeth and quickly got up from the ground, because he knew that this was a glimmer of hope that Gu Hao had fought desperately for him, and that only if he found Meng Zhe could Gu Hao survive. So he endured the severe pain in his body and ran downstairs. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the tree roots around his waist not only did not fall off, but instead changed from one to two, and from two to three, and became more and more, and finally wrapped Deng Kai up tightly in it.

Deng Kai had no idea how to respond. He immediately thought, "This is completely screwed!"

Deng Kai had no idea what happened around him afterwards, because he was soon surrounded by a sticky liquid secreted by the tree roots. His eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all blocked, instantly cutting off all contact with the outside world. Until he felt as if someone was slowly approaching him, he shook his body desperately. Although he didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, as long as he could free himself from these tightly entangled tree roots, Deng Kai would sincerely thank the other party's ancestors for eight generations.

In fact, Deng Kai was prepared to see the fake Song Jiang as soon as he opened his eyes. However, when he saw the person clearly, he found that it was his savior Meng Zhe. He felt so happy that he wanted to cry. So he quickly told the other party that someone was impersonating Song Jiang. However, Meng Zhe's first reaction after hearing it was that he didn't believe it at all.

Meng Zhe asked himself if anyone could impersonate Song Jiang in front of him, because appearance could be impersonated, but Song Jiang's aura was unique and no one could impersonate him. Meng Zhe was very sure of this, but when he walked over and carefully observed the tree roots that trapped Deng Kai, his heart suddenly sank slightly, and at the same time a memory slowly emerged from his mind...

It is true that there are evil creatures in this world that can replicate Song Jiang's aura, but the first condition is that they must have Song Jiang's blood. They have encountered two evil creatures that meet this condition. One of them has disappeared and is naturally not a suspect. As for the other one... Meng Zhe has never regarded it as a threat.

When Song Jiang and Meng Zhe were helping the dumb ghost find his sister, they encountered a thousand-year-old banyan tree. In order to find the location of the altar, Meng Zhe borrowed a wisp of true energy from the old banyan tree, which helped him open his spiritual consciousness and give birth to his thinking consciousness. Although Meng Zhe took back his true energy afterwards, he vaguely remembered that Song Jiang was accidentally pierced in the palm of his hand by the old banyan tree and blood was seen.

  Now think about it, although Meng Zhe took back that strand of true energy at that time, it was a thousand-year-old banyan tree after all. It must have already had spirituality. It obtained the true immortal energy and tasted Song Jiang's spiritual blood. It should not be difficult to cultivate into a human form in time. But Meng Zhe never expected that the other party would actually set his sights on Song Jiang. He really thought his life was too long!

After figuring out the whole story, Meng Zhe was filled with anger and wanted to find the banyan tree spirit immediately to beat him to death... But the question now was where was the real Song Jiang? Meng Zhe did not sense the presence of the two Song Jiangs at the scene, which proved that the real Song Jiang must not be here, so to be on the safe side, he had to find the real Song Jiang first before killing the fake one.

When Meng Zhe thought of this, he turned to look at Deng Kai who was still spitting out mucus from his mouth and said, "Leave here immediately...I will take care of the rest."

Deng Kai felt relieved after hearing this, but he immediately asked, "What about Gu Hao? Was he also captured by that thing like Song Jiang?"

After hearing this, Meng Zhe said in a deep voice, "With me here, I will definitely not let him get into trouble... Get out now."

Deng Kai knew that if he stayed, not only would he not be able to do anything, but he would also hinder Meng Zhe from catching the fake Song Jiang, so he suppressed his nausea and turned around to run downstairs. Meng Zhe stood by the window in the corridor and watched. After making sure that Deng Kai had run out of the abandoned hospital, he immediately used his spiritual power to set up a barrier around him, so that people outside could not get in, and things inside could not get out...

  ============

After eating something, Song Jiang regained some strength. He knew that he could not be trapped here forever. The tree roots were consuming his blood and energy bit by bit. He had to find a way to save himself before Meng Zhe arrived. But now he was trapped here and could not even move. Therefore, he had to seek help from outside forces. The only external force that could help him here was the ugly boy who looked not very smart but very kind.
