Chapter 333 Two Years of Misfortune
The dryad who had regained his human form showed a disappointed expression on his face when he saw that Chen Ziyang was not bewitched or controlled by him.Immediately afterwards, the expression on the dryad's face turned fierce in an instant. With a ferocious expression on his face, the dryad turned around abruptly and ran back.

When the dryad turned around and ran, the gut-like things connecting the dryad's abdomen to the ground were suddenly disconnected, and a large amount of blood flowed out from the remaining intestines on the ground.

A root system growing around the waist of the tree was suddenly thrown out, and immediately rolled up the diamond placed in the eye-shaped pattern in the center of the cave.The roots wrapped around the diamond quickly retracted, and handed the diamond to the Dryad.Holding this diamond, the dryad got into the dark tree hole without looking back, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

When the tree demon turned and ran, Chen Ziyang saw the roots that made up the legs of the tree waist dancing wildly, as if the tree demon had grown many thin legs.After seeing this, he realized what was under the bulging skirts of the dryads he saw in the dream, and it should be the roots of these dryads.

For some unknown reason, the dryad's legs did not fully transform into human form. Although it can entangle the roots below the waist to form branches similar to human legs, the dryad's two legs are not Completely transformed into human form like its upper body.

The tail-like thing under the dryad's skirt that caught the old king's attention before should be these roots.It's no wonder that the dryad was wearing a skirt when it first appeared in the ancient country of Yumi, and it should be to conceal this.

Chen Ziyang felt that the reason why the tree demon couldn't completely transform its legs into a human form was because it didn't have enough mana. When the tree demon first appeared in the ancient country of Yumi, it had just formed its intelligence. The magic power of the demon should not be enough to support it to transform into a human form.

But later, after the dryad absorbed a lot of blood and soul in the ancient kingdom of Yumi, its mana grew very rapidly, and the size of the dryad also grew rapidly, turning into a towering ancient tree. At this time, the dryad should be It can be easily transformed into a human form.

But now the dryad in front of me is just transformed from the natal seed that the dryad has been sleeping for many years. The dryad's mana should have just recovered, so the dryad at this time can't completely transform into a human form.

Just when Chen Ziyang was thinking about these things, the dryad had disappeared into the dark tree hole. Chen Ziyang, who was just about to catch up with the ancient Xuanming sword, suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that the tree demon was bound Yang Lei on the ground.Seeing Yang Lei's bound posture, he already roughly guessed what happened to Yang Lei before.

Before Chen Ziyang raised his guard against Instructor Liu, before he opened his mouth to reason with Instructor Liu, Instructor Liu, who stood aside and watched for a long time, suddenly ran past Chen Ziyang, All of a sudden, he got into the tree hole.

Instructor Liu's action stunned Chen Ziyang for a moment. He never thought that after seeing the tree demon's body, Instructor Liu was even more anxious than himself.

Walking to Yang Lei's side, Chen Ziyang helped Yang Lei up after cutting the rope binding Yang Lei with the ancient Xuanming sword.

It may be because of the violence against Yang Lei before, and the instructor Liu who supported him had already entered the cave. Xiao Ren, who was standing aside, was a little at a loss when he saw Chen Ziyang untie Yang Lei. After he glanced in the direction of the two of them, he ran a few steps and got into the tree hole.

The team doctor standing behind Xiao Ren suddenly froze, standing there at a loss.Looking to the left at the direction of the tree hole, and then at Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei to the right, the team doctor's eyes showed a look of hesitation, then she gritted her teeth and looked at the dark tree Hole, also drilled in.

Chen Ziyang had just helped Yang Lei up, and when he was about to pat the dirt on Yang Lei's body, Yang Lei suddenly hugged Chen Ziyang tightly.

"Er Yang, you brat, your grandma has come back to life." After hugging Chen Ziyang tightly for a while, Yang Lei grabbed Chen Ziyang's hands and looked at them carefully for a while, then patted Chen Ziyang's body again. After a few beats, Yang Lei found that Chen Ziyang was a healthy person, and Yang Lei punched Chen Ziyang's chest fiercely with his fist a few times.

"Your left arm is healed, too? You were too risky and impulsive this time, and almost took your life."

Chen Ziyang, who is now resurrected from the dead, also feels a little scared, but he thinks back to the situation when he turned on the mechanism before, and he finds it very strange.

At that time, I had no concept of danger at all, but felt that it was my mission to open that mechanism, so when injecting blood into the diamond, I didn't hesitate at all.It seems that all this is still caused by the diamond.

Chen Ziyang is very fortunate now, fortunate that he picked up the compass of the Du family in NMG's most shady place, fortunate that this compass reacted to the weird coffin nail, fortunate that the coffin nail and the soul-relief paperweight were placed Together, I am glad that I bought the soul-suppressing paperweight at an extremely low price in the antique market.

This series of coincidences allowed me to have the soul-suppressing paperweight magic weapon today. With this magic weapon, I was not able to be bewitched by the tree demon, and I was able to stay awake in my dreams. Not only did I know the truth of the matter, And he didn't become a slave to the Dryad.

"Er Yang, they have all gone in, what should we do next? No one cares about us now, we can pat our butts and leave. By the way, when you return the same way, don't forget to remind me to put I found my backpack." Looking at the empty cave except for two people, Yang Lei said eagerly.

Looking in the direction of the tree hole, Chen Ziyang shook his head at Yang Lei. "Lei Zi, do you believe in such things as fate?"

"Believe it, why don't you believe it, it's this time, why are you still talking about these useless things, let's go now while there is no one. What you said before is right, this kid Liu instructor doesn't care about putting the gun on me Here, his skill is too good, even if the two of us are tied together, we are no match for him."

"I think it is a kind of fate that I am able to stand here today. This fate has already begun since I met Lao Lu, and it is this fate that has guided me to come here step by step.

This dryad has been waiting here for 2000 years, waiting for someone who is destined to wake it up, and the diamond that was taken thousands of kilometers away from the ancient Yumi country actually chose me after 2000 years, and I happened to be a Famous Maoshan geologist.

This is God's will, let me subdue this tree demon and end this evil relationship that has spanned 2000 years.

Let's not go, Lei Zi, let's move forward, subdue demons and eliminate monsters, and cut grass and roots. "

These words were spoken forcefully by Chen Ziyang, and Yang Lei looked at Chen Ziyang's firm expression, showing a puzzled expression.

"You kid is really weird, I don't even know you these few years, it seems that this is the first time I heard the words subduing monsters and eliminating monsters from your mouth.

From the time when a fish in shallow water turned into a dragon, you deal with these evil things, either for money, for friendship, or for survival. This seems to be the first time you have taken the initiative to deal with these things. "

"Because of the Dao heart, after the past few years, and after the death and resurrection just now, I really understand some things.

I used to learn Taoism because I was relatively soft and always willing to provoke some evil things. My mother hoped that I could avoid these evil things by learning Taoism.

But I myself thought it was fun and handsome. After all, Uncle Ying was my first idol, and it was also my childhood dream to become a Taoist priest in a yellow robe like his character.Searching for dragons and acupoints, expelling ghosts with talismans, watching stars and measuring one's fate, sounds very yearning.

But just when the diamond brought me back from the dead, I had a certain connection with the dryad. I saw what the dryad did 2000 years ago.I saw how this tree demon murdered tens of thousands of lives in the ancient Yumi country.

The passage we walked through before, just a few thousand tombs, has already shocked us beyond recognition.Tens of thousands of lives, those people were all living people before, so they became the nourishment of the dryad. Compared with these tens of thousands of lives, my own life is nothing.

If I can't get rid of this tree demon, what's the use of my learning those Taoism skills? If I shrink back now, my master's spirit in the sky will look down on me. "After saying these words, Chen Ziyang put his hands on his chest, and touched the mountain ghost gossip money embedded with bullets through his clothes.

"Why did you suddenly become so righteous, kid? What you said touched everything I said, and I wanted to pick up the guy and fight that tree demon with all my might.

Come on, no matter what, it's rare that you are so handsome. As a brother, I am of course obliged to support you. Shall we follow in that tree hole?What should I do if I meet that tree demon?Do you have a way to deal with it? "

Looking at the dark tree hole, Chen Ziyang nodded and said: "Catch up, I just learned some secrets when I was connecting with the tree demon.

The reason why this tree demon was defeated in the human tree battle was because the souls it absorbed were not immediately converted into mana. Although human blood could be immediately converted into mana after being absorbed by the tree demon, the soul But not.

Although the transformation of the human soul can provide much more mana than the transformation of human blood, the transformation of the soul takes time.

That tree demon absorbed the souls of tens of thousands of people and stored them up 2000 years ago, but before it could convert these souls into mana, the Human-Tree War began. Victory, the Dryad was beaten until it lost its body, and could only use its remaining mana to keep its natal seed.

Although the dryad's body was burned, those souls are still preserved in the center of the tree demon's root system, slowly transforming. After more than 2000 years, those souls should have all been transformed. As long as the dryad arrives there, he can Absorb these mana in an instant. At that time, the mana of this tree demon is definitely not something I can deal with. "

"Damn, are you stupid? At such a critical juncture, you are still talking here for a long time, and you still don't hurry up to catch up. If the dryad has recovered its mana while we are talking, then we can't rush up. Is it the same as sending you to your death?" Hearing that the time was so tight, Yang Lei stomped his feet angrily while cursing at Chen Ziyang.

"Don't worry too much. Some people are already losing their temper. Don't you think that instructor Liu's behavior is a bit weird after seeing the tree demon resurrected?"

Yang Lei lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded to Chen Ziyang and said: "Don't say it, it's really the case, although this kid has always been very impatient and always walks at the front of the team, but he really has When something happens, he always shrinks back and asks you to push forward.

But after the tree demon was revived just now, Instructor Liu ignored the two of us, just got into the tree hole with a sullen head, and went after the tree demon.Look at it this way...you mean..." Yang Lei's eyes widened fiercely.

"Yes, according to my estimation, the treasure that Instructor Liu is really looking for is the natal seed of this tree demon, that is, the tree man just now.

And he was able to catch up so quickly, which is enough to prove that he knew these things before, and he should have enough ways to prevent the tree demon from obtaining those mana, and he should be able to deal with this tree demon.

Think about it before, after Instructor Liu melted that strange tattoo into his body, the wound on his body healed quickly.

After that, Instructor Liu behaved a little abnormally, but I found that his movements were much faster than normal people, and his strength seemed to be much stronger. The tattoo pattern that was integrated into his body should be his fight against trees. The biggest reliance of the demon. "

Touching his chest, Yang Lei recalled the kick he had been kicked by instructor Liu before, and he instantly understood what Chen Ziyang meant.

Instructor Liu's kick was so powerful that he almost knocked himself out. Thinking about it now, compared to the beating by Instructor Liu in the ancient tomb, the strength of that kick just now was really strong. much bigger.

"So the two of us are not in a hurry. I still need to make some preparations. Take the time to rest. When we find the dryad, you have to listen to my arrangement. Don't confront the dryad head-on. The first task is to seize the diamond in the tree demon's hand."

"Diamond? The dryad has been awakened, what's the use of that diamond now? You kid still said I'm a money fan, but now your money fan has come."

After giving Yang Lei a blank look with eyes that hate iron but not steel, Chen Ziyang said:
"The diamond is the key. Only when the diamond is in the hands of the dryad can the dryad absorb the mana converted from the soul. As long as we get the diamond, the dryad is nothing to worry about."
