Chapter 9 The man-eating tree
“Brother, something happened!!!”

Xu Mo opens the door

Xu Chuxia rushed out and bumped into Xu Mo's arms.

"What's wrong? You're so reckless."

"Brother, I've looked up a lot of information today. That money tree doesn't steal nutrients, it steals the life energy of surrounding creatures. In other words, it's a killing tree!"

"You mean, living things? Not plants? Jian Yi! Let's go!"

At Xu Mo's command, Jian Yi rushed out of the house.

"Chuxia, wait for me at home, I'm going to see Tang Shishi!!"

After saying that, Xu Mo took Jian Yi and ran towards Tang Shishi's home.

. . . . . .
In the Tang Family Manor, after only one day, the green garden that had just been built yesterday had turned yellow, giving the impression that it was midsummer in the world but deep autumn in the city.

"Tang Shishi! Tang Shishi!"

Xu Mo ran to the Tang family manor, but didn't see anyone.

He called out Tang Shishi's name loudly, hoping to get a response.

"Xu Mo? Why are you here?"

Tang Shishi heard Xu Mo's call and walked out of the room with confusion.

But now Tang Shishi looks much weaker than she did on Zhou Liu, and her pale face adds a sense of sickly beauty to her.

When Xu Mo saw Tang Shishi like this, he felt something was wrong. He walked up to her and tried to pull her away from the Tang family manor.

"What's wrong Xu Mo?"

Tang Shishi was very puzzled. Why was Xu Mo acting so strangely today?

"You come with me."

Xu Mo didn't want to explain any more. It had only been two days, and all the plants in the garden had begun to turn yellow and wither. He had to take Tang Shishi away quickly.

"Not today, Xu Mo, I'm feeling a little unwell today."

Tang Shishi was indeed feeling a little unwell.

"Then you must come with me. What about the rest of your family? Let's leave here together."

Xu Mo was extremely anxious and wanted to take Tang Shishi away.

"My family is out, what happened to Xu Mo?!"

Tang Shishi was also a little anxious.

"That fortune tree in your house absorbs the life force of living things. Didn't you see that all the plants have turned yellow? Now even you are so weak!"

"What are you talking about? The plants at home are turning yellow because they lack the corresponding trace elements. My father found a student from the Agricultural College to solve the problem for us. He is in the backyard now. As for me... I am weak because..."

Tang Shishi suddenly stopped talking halfway through her words.

Xu Mo thought something had happened to her and immediately asked what was going on.

“Oh my, I’m coming!!!”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Shishi's face immediately turned red.

Xu Mo was confused
"Who's here? What are you talking about?"

Sometimes Tang Shishi really wants to call the police. If someone doesn’t know, they would think Xu Mo is taking advantage of him!

"That's what they said in physiology class about girls having their periods!!"

Now Xu Mo really understood, and his face turned red all the way to his ears in an instant.

The two "red men" looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Wang Wang Wang! ! !
Jian Yi suddenly shouted, interrupting the awkwardness between the two.

Xu Mo immediately looked at Tang Shishi

"You mean, a student treated these plants at your house today?"

Tang Shishi nodded.

“But I didn’t see him!!!”

Xu Mo was very excited. If this student really came, why didn't he show up even though he was shouting at him in the Tang family manor?
He immediately looked at Tang Shishi
"Something might have happened to that guy! Let's go find him!" "Is it that serious? Xu Mo, please don't scare me."

Tang Shishi wrapped her clothes around herself. The weather was nice today, so why did she feel a little cold?

"Of course! I believe Chuxia won't lie to me."

After that, Xu Mo didn't hesitate and ran to the backyard with Jian Yi. Tang Shishi had no choice but to follow. After hesitating for a moment, she summoned Bing Ning from her four-dimensional space necklace.

In the backyard, Xu Mo looked at the money tree. It seemed to have grown a little taller?
The vegetation in the entire backyard began to die, and Xu Mo could even see the speed of death with his naked eyes.

"what happened!"

Tang Shishi was very surprised. How could the backyard become so desolate after only one day without leaving the house?

Of course, the fortune tree is still lush and green, with golden leaves swaying in the wind, as if it doesn't belong to this barren land at all.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

Xu Mo shouted anxiously, hoping to hear a response in the huge garden.

However, there was no sound around except the rustling of plants as they withered and shrank.

Xu Mo's mood sank to the bottom. If that person was really in the backyard,
If he hadn't left.

Then he might have...

Although he thought so, Xu Mo still did not give up looking for the college student.

Woof woof!!!

Jian Yi seemed to smell something, and suddenly dropped his tail and lay on the ground sniffing something.

Seeing this, Xu Mo immediately pulled Tang Shishi to Jian Yi's side.

Jian Yi sniffed left and right, and finally stopped at an open space.

The surrounding grass had withered, so the exposed brown land was not very conspicuous.

Jane started digging the soil vigorously.

Time passed by minute by minute.

at last!

Jian Yi scratched with his claws,
A piece of plaid shirt was dug out.

"Jian Yi, keep going!!!"

Xu Mo shouted excitedly.

Jian Yi didn't hesitate and increased the speed of digging the soil.

Soon, all the clothes were dug out, but no one was seen.

But the sharp-eyed Tang Shishi found something wrong, because there were roots all around these clothes, and there was blood on the newly dug roots!

These roots are sucking blood!!!

"Xu Mo! These roots seem to be sucking blood!!"

Xu Mo asked Jian Yi to stop and turned to look at the lush fortune tree.
"It's not the roots that are sucking blood, it's the roots that are eating people!!!"

Xu Mo clenched his fists tightly.

He looked at the golden money tree and suddenly noticed that the silk ribbons hanging from the crown were wriggling strangely - those were not red silks for decoration at all, but aerial roots of plants stained with dark brown blood.

"Woof woof!" Jian Yi suddenly arched his back and barked wildly at the bushes in the northwest corner.

Xu Mo looked in the direction and the blood in his body instantly froze - a few clumps of dead grass were losing their last trace of green at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xu Mo grabbed Tang Shishi's wrist, and the girl's slender wrist trembled slightly in his palm.

"run!!!"

Xu Mo pulled Tang Shishi and tried to escape like crazy, and Jian Yi and Bing Ning quickly followed.

But the roots buried deep in the ground began to break out of the soil one by one.

Like poisonous snakes, like leeches, one after another, endless...
