Chapter 334 What's Her Name?

Chen Ziyang opened his backpack and counted the things that the two of them could use.

All the weapons in the backpack were taken away by Instructor Liu, even the military dagger that Chen Ziyang found in the ancient tomb was taken away, but the weapons for the two of them were barely enough.

Chen Ziyang still had the Xuanming ancient sword and soul-suppressing paperweight magic weapon in his hands. Yang Lei's engineer shovel was thrown by Yang Lei together with the backpack full of jars after he lent it to Instructor Liu to split the ancient tree. In the hollow of the old tree, Chen Ziyang's engineer shovel was still on the ground, allowing Yang Lei to use it as a weapon.

The two of them only had one flashlight. Apart from these things, Chen Ziyang's backpack only contained food, water, and some Taoist instruments.

After picking up the soul-suppressing paperweight, Chen Ziyang watched it carefully.This soul-suppressing paperweight instrument can be said to have picked up a big leak. In addition to the unique soul-suppressing effect of the paperweight, it seems that the paperweight also has a restraining effect on the diamond's soul attack.

It was precisely because of this soul-suppressing paperweight that Chen Ziyang was able to stay awake in the dream made of diamonds and was not controlled by the tree demon.And when he was in the ancient tomb, he was infiltrated by those weird black energy, and it was with the help of the soul-suppressing paperweight that he kept awake in that dream.

Now Chen Ziyang roughly guessed the true colors of the strange black air in the ancient tomb and the shadows that attacked him and Li Bojian.Those things should be the soul stored in the diamond.

After the tree demon absorbed tens of thousands of souls with the help of diamonds, most of the souls were kept in his body by the tree demon, but a small part of the souls still remained in the diamond.

When the diamond was taken out of the ancient country of Yumi, these souls were also buried in the ancient tomb along with the diamond.Later, I don't know what the reason is, it may be because of the transformation of diamonds, or it may be because no one has refined these souls with the help of diamonds all year round, so these souls have mutated and become black shadows that can attack people.

But after the diamonds were brought to the ancient country of Yumi, these souls stabilized. It is likely that this has something to do with the unique formation of the ancient country of Yumi, and it reacted with the various altars that depict the lines, so the diamonds The soul inside became stable.

Under the circumstances, these souls were released by Chen Ziyang.Although there were quite a few of these souls, Chen Ziyang carefully recalled what he had seen before. After those souls were released, they were all repeating what they had done during their lifetime.

The number of souls is very inconsistent with the size of the ancient country of Yumi. The remaining souls in the diamond should only be a small part of the dead in the ancient country of Yumi, so the number of souls in the tree demon body should be surprising. .

If the tree demon completely absorbs these souls, it is very likely that the tree demon will instantly return to its peak state, and it may even go a step further. At that time, it will be difficult for the god Da Luo to get rid of the tree demon .

After holding the paperweight and looking at it for a while, Chen Ziyang knew that this might be his biggest reliance on dealing with the tree demon, even he felt that when dealing with the tree demon and diamonds.The effect of the soul-suppressing paperweight should be much stronger than that of the ancient Xuanming sword.Whether it can subdue demons and eliminate demons depends on its power.

Taking the time to draw some talismans, and pouring the prepared ink into the ink box of the ink fountain, Chen Ziyang stuffed the magical artifacts in his backpack into his pocket one by one.After he was almost ready, he took out food and water and gave some to Yang Lei.

"Er Yang, what do you think this kid, Instructor Liu, is looking for? If he really wanted to catch the tree demon, why didn't he do it before the tree demon was not resurrected, but waited until the tree demon Did you start worrying after being resurrected?" Yang Lei asked Chen Ziyang while eating the food.

"I'm not very clear about this, but it must have something to do with the tree demon. It is likely that before the tree demon was revived, Instructor Liu only thought that the tree demon was just a sculpture, but after the tree demon was resurrected, he knew What I was looking for turned out to be right in front of me.”

Having said this, Chen Ziyang slowed down his chewing. He carefully recalled what Instructor Liu had said before. The main reason why Instructor Liu was looking for this treasure was to find a medicine that could cure overdose. The way side effects are produced.

The dragon's blood strain should have grown from the tree demon's body, and it is likely to be some appendages produced during the tree demon's cultivation.

Although Chen Ziyang knew that Instructor Liu had concealed many things from the two of them, he felt that the purpose that Instructor Liu said should be true, otherwise it would be impossible for all of this to fit in with the various things that the two experienced.From this point of view, what instructor Liu was looking for must be on the tree demon.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang remembered the strange lizard-shaped tattoo on Instructor Liu's body. That tattoo should be what Instructor Liu got from the ancient tomb. It took a week to get that lizard tattoo.

Because when collecting Instructor Liu's weapon before, Chen Ziyang discovered that apart from this thing, there was nothing else on Instructor Liu that could be used here. What exactly is that tattoo?Why is Instructor Liu so confident that such a thing can deal with the tree demon?

The two wolfed down a few mouthfuls of food and drank some water. After replenishing their strength, Chen Ziyang threw the excess food and water aside.

If you move forward, there is a high possibility of a fierce battle. It is too inconvenient to carry these things, and it is likely to affect the movements of the two people and become their biggest burden.

If both of them were killed by the dryad, then these things would be useless. If the two of them succeeded in killing the dryad, it would not be too late to come back to find these food and water.

After everything was tidied up, Chen Ziyang got up and patted his buttocks, and pouted at Yang Lei, and the two of them got into the tree hole one after the other.

Yang Lei held an engineering shovel in one hand and a flashlight in the other to open the way. Chen Ziyang followed closely behind him with an ancient Xuanming sword in his right hand and a soul-suppressing paperweight in his left.After getting into the tree hole, looking at the surrounding environment, both of them were amazed.

The location of the two of them is directly below the remnant of the dryad's body. Whether it is the intertwined plant roots before or the bottomless well surrounded by plant roots, all of them are the huge root system of the dryad. Composed of part of the underground world.

The size of the remnant body of the tree demon alone is already surprising. Unexpectedly, the root system of the tree demon is very developed, which is a level larger than the body of the tree demon.The two walked for several minutes along the narrow, winding tree hole, and saw nothing at all except the roots.

These tree roots are thick or thin, long or short, so many that people can't use quantifiers to describe them.However, the roots in the tree hole are not too tightly intertwined, and there are often some gaps between the roots.These small gaps are as big as someone's fist, and the big ones can barely allow a person to pass sideways.

However, there are spikes growing on the roots of all the plants. These spikes almost fill the gaps between the roots of these plants, so the two of them don't have to worry about getting lost. There is only one road that can allow people to pass. A hollow tree with no branches.

However, the spikes growing on the roots of these plants are very dense, which makes it very difficult for two people to move forward. They need a high degree of concentration to avoid stepping on the spikes on the ground directly with their feet and avoiding the tree holes on both sides. The sharp thorns cut themselves.

It was better for Yang Lei who was walking in the front, after all, the flashlight was in his hand.When Yang Lei was walking forward, he was only slowed down by the spikes, which was relatively safe, but Chen Ziyang behind him was more depressed.

Chen Ziyang could only use the peripheral vision of the flashlight in Yang Lei's hand to see the road ahead, which made it very difficult for him to walk.In a short while, Chen Ziyang's calf and ankle were cut several times, and even his trousers had been cut more than a dozen times.

"Ah..." A slight cry came from the dark tree hole in front of the two of them.Hearing this slight cry, both of them were startled.

Yang Lei stopped, squatted down quickly, and gave Chen Ziyang some vision behind him. At the same time, he used the flashlight in his hand to shine forward, wanting to see what was making the sound.

With the help of Yang Lei's flashlight, the two people saw that a person seemed to have fallen at a corner in the winding tree hole. Although they were a little far away and couldn't see clearly, they both noticed that this person The two legs exposed outside the tree hole seemed to be still moving.

"Who is it!" Yang Lei shouted loudly towards the front. Although he shouted loudly, Chen Ziyang heard an obvious vibrato from his voice. It seemed that Yang Lei was a little scared.

"Help...help me..." A faint cry for help came from the front.

"Er Yang, did you hear it? It seems to be the team doctor." After hearing that the person in front could speak, and judging that it should be a person, not some monster, Yang Lei became more courageous.

Chen Ziyang pulled Yang Lei aside, and the two passed each other in the narrow tree hole and exchanged positions.After stuffing the soul-suppressing paperweight into his pocket, Chen Ziyang took the flashlight from Yang Lei's hand and walked forward slowly.

Walking to the corner of the tree hole, Chen Ziyang took a deep breath after seeing clearly the man lying on the ground. "It's too miserable, it's really too miserable." He thought in his heart.

The person who fell in the tree hole was the team doctor.This short woman was lying in the tree hole. Her body was pierced by more than a dozen spikes on the roots. Apart from the places penetrated by the roots, there were dozens of blood-oozing spots on the team doctor's body. The wounds and clothes were also damaged in many places, which should also be scratched by these spikes.

"Ah..." A slight groan came from the team doctor's mouth.Chen Ziyang squatted down, put the flashlight aside, and pressed two fingers on the team doctor's carotid artery. He felt the team doctor's pulse was very weak, and he was obviously seriously injured.At this time, Yang Lei also followed, and was at a loss when he saw the tragic situation of the team doctor.

"Er Yang, is there any help? How can I see that she is exhaling a lot of air and inhaling less, and what she sees is that she can't survive." After saying this, Yang Lei bent down, trying to help the team doctor from the ground. stand up.

"Don't touch her!" Seeing Yang Lei's movements, Chen Ziyang said quickly.

Hearing Chen Ziyang's words, Yang Lei's outstretched hand visibly trembled, then he raised his head and looked at Chen Ziyang, showing a puzzled expression.

"It's useless, it can't be saved." Chen Ziyang said while shaking his head slowly.

Looking at the tragic situation of the team doctor, Chen Ziyang remembered a story told to him by an 80-year-old grandfather in his neighbor's house when he was young.

In the early years, the Northeast region had high mountains and dense forests, and there were many wild animals.So there will be many hunters dig some deep pit traps between the mountains and dense forests, and insert some sharpened wooden sticks in the traps.

If a wild animal falls into the trap, these wooden sticks will pierce the animal's body. If the wild animal struggles harder, the wooden sticks will be inserted deeper, and at the same time there will be some gaps between the wooden stick and the animal's body. , Let the animal's blood flow faster, will accelerate the death of the animal.

Therefore, people who lived in the Northeast region in the early years know this truth. If someone falls into these traps, no matter how deep the stick is inserted, no matter how painful he feels, there is one thing that must not be done. It's just a struggle, the more you struggle, the faster you will die, and the greater the pain you will suffer at the same time.

The team doctor at this time is like an animal that has fallen into such a trap. The root system of the plant has penetrated her body. If the team doctor is moved at this time, it is very likely that she will die immediately, or even die before she dies. suffer more.So Chen Ziyang prevented Yang Lei from trying to help the team doctor up.

"Help...help me...please...please...you..." After reluctantly saying these words, the body of the team doctor lying on the ground suddenly trembled violently, and then the team doctor went limp, Lie on the ground motionless.

"It's too miserable, it's a pity, how can this woman help the two of us, although she was with Instructor Liu before, but it was her own master, and this woman didn't target the two of us, why? Such a miserable end? It seems like we don't even know her name.

Why didn't Instructor Liu and Xiao Ren stop to help her?It seems that this team should have accidentally tripped and struggled a few times while running forward, but couldn't get rid of these spikes, so it became like this, this Instructor Liu and Xiao Ren is really nothing. Seeing the team doctor die in front of him, Yang Lei said regretfully.

"Huh?" Chen Ziyang straightened up and was about to leave, suddenly looked at the team doctor's body and yelled strangely.
