Chapter 342 Deadlock
Chen Ziyang was stunned when he saw the lizard-like creatures on Instructor Liu who was in a stalemate with the dryad.

Before, Instructor Liu only showed a lizard-like creature in front of everyone, and that creature was attached to his arm at that time.But now Instructor Liu's body is almost covered with these creatures, Chen Ziyang just glanced over and saw no less than a dozen of them.

Chen Ziyang didn't know whether these lizard shadow creatures were attached to Instructor Liu before and brought out from the ancient tomb together by Instructor Liu, or whether the lizard creatures he had seen gathering here before came here Climbed onto Instructor Liu.But no matter what the situation is, he feels that this is not a good sign.

At this time, Instructor Liu was firmly pinching the tree demon's neck, and all the roots below the waist of the tree demon were wrapped around Instructor Liu's body.Those roots were like the claws of an octopus, tightly coiled around the joints of Instructor Liu's body.Chen Ziyang reckoned that the bloodstains on Instructor Liu's body were drawn by the spikes on the tentacle-like roots of the tree demon.

Although the dryad was lifted up in the air by Instructor Liu, Chen Ziyang could tell that the dryad had the upper hand in the fight between the dryad and Instructor Liu.The spikes on the roots of the dryad itself have the function of sucking human blood.At this time, many of the spikes on the tentacle-like roots of the dryad had pierced into Instructor Liu's flesh. Chen Ziyang guessed that the dryad was sucking the blood of instructor Liu.

At this time, Instructor Liu's eyes were red, with a strange red light shining in his eyes, and a painful expression appeared on his face. It was obvious that Instructor Liu had already exerted all his strength when he was in a stalemate with the tree demon.

Although he finally caught up with the tree demon after all kinds of hardships, but seeing that the tree demon had not absorbed those souls for the time being, Chen Ziyang was not in a hurry to rush up to deal with the tree demon.He hurriedly looked around and figured out the general situation here.

Everyone is in a place without tree roots that is rarely seen in this huge underground world composed of the roots of the dryad itself.

There is a crack that is the same as the crack in the rock in front of the dryad's body before, lying here.Instructor Liu and the Dryad were on the edge of the crack at this time, on the same side as Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, and the large group of souls was hanging directly above the crack.

At the other end of the crack, there are countless roots of the dryad's body coiled there. Those roots are very thick, and the spikes on them are also densely packed. There are even a lot of bones hanging on these spikes.

At this end of the crack where everyone is, except for the large group of dragon's blood strains that Chen Ziyang drilled just now, there are all exposed black shale rocks. This rock is about tens of meters in range. The edges are all broken roots.

Turning around to take a look, Chen Ziyang realized that his guess about the dead dragon's blood strains might be wrong.

When passing through the dragon's blood strain group before, Chen Ziyang found that as he advanced, the roots growing on the dragon's blood strain became thicker and thicker. Obviously, the direction of his crawling should be toward the growing dragon's blood strain's root system main direction.

At that time, Chen Ziyang came up with an idea. It is very likely that the reason why these dragon blood strains will die is because the body of the dryad has died, and there is no longer fresh blood to supply these dragon blood strains to grow, so the dragon blood strains can only grow. It will lose its blood-red color, and no red mist will come out.But seeing the appearance of these dragon blood strains behind him, Chen Ziyang knew that his guess was wrong.

All the roots of the dragon's blood strains have been broken here, and there are countless gnawing marks on the root section, and these gnawing marks are very similar to the pair of small pincers at the front of the seal spider. fit.

It seems that the real reason for the death of these dragon's blood strains is that the roots are all broken. I just don't know whether these roots were bitten off by the seal spider after the death of the dryad's body, or before the death of the tree demon's body. This is it.

It's not just the root system of the dragon's blood plant. Around this rocky area without tree roots, the roots of all the plants that Chen Ziyang can see are all broken, and there are gnawed parts on all the root sections. trace.

From the direction of these broken roots and the way the roots climbed, Chen Ziyang judged that the place where there were no roots before should also be covered with the roots of the dryads, and it is very likely that they were attacked by a large number of people. It became like this after the seal spider gnawed and broke the roots of the tree.

Just when Chen Ziyang was guessing what happened here before, Instructor Liu interrupted his train of thought with a low roar.

"Hmm... ah... ah..." From the throat of Instructor Liu came a low growl due to excessive force.

Chen Ziyang looked over hurriedly, and he saw that with the roar of Instructor Liu, the color of a lizard shadow creature attached to Instructor Liu gradually faded.This is exactly the same as the scene that appeared when Instructor Liu was healing his wounds, and this familiar scene reappeared.

The lizard shadow became fainter and weaker, and finally completely merged into Instructor Liu's body, leaving a glowing red dot where the original black lizard shadow stayed, and the position before the red dot was exactly Where the eyes of the lizard shadow are located.

When this lizard shadow completely merged into Instructor Liu's body, Chen Ziyang saw that Instructor Liu's eyes became redder, and the red light in Instructor Liu's eyes became more intense. What surprised him the most was Instructor Liu The muscles on his body seemed to have grown a bit, and the veins under Instructor Liu's skin were also more bulging.

With the occurrence of this series of phenomena, Instructor Liu's strength seemed to have recovered a lot, and his hands that were tightly pinching the tree demon's neck became more powerful.The roots of the tree demon wrapped around Instructor Liu's body were also stretched a lot because of Instructor Liu's muscle swelling.

As the roots moved, more bloodstains appeared on Instructor Liu's body where the roots had been entangled before.Only at this time did Chen Ziyang understand why instructor Liu's clothes were in tatters.

It turned out that Instructor Liu's clothes were not only scratched by the sharp thorns on the tree roots, but another reason was that Instructor Liu's muscles swelled, and the swollen muscles also tore the clothes a lot.

Chen Ziyang was amazed by this scene. He really didn't expect that this black lizard shadow-like creature would have such a magical effect. With these creatures alone, an ordinary person could be able to match a tree that is hundreds of years old. The demon's natal seeds were evenly matched.

Counting carefully, Chen Ziyang saw that after the black lizard shadow was absorbed by Instructor Liu, there were already seven or eight red spots left on Instructor Liu's body, and this was only visible from his angle. , maybe instructor Liu has already absorbed no less than a dozen of these black lizard shadow creatures.

From the crazy eyes of instructor Liu and the swollen muscles that were about to burst, Chen Ziyang could see that instructor Liu should be at the end of his battle at this time.He estimated that instructor Liu only needs to absorb two or three of these black lizard shadow creatures at most, and he will completely fall into a state of madness, lose his mind, or explode to death.

Just as Chen Ziyang was holding the ancient Xuanming sword tightly, and was about to go forward to help instructor Liu deal with the tree demon, Yang Lei, who was standing aside, saw Chen Ziyang's intentions and said hastily:

"Eryang, don't worry, let the two of them fight and lose both, and then you go up. First, let instructor Liu weaken the tree demon's ability, and second, use the tree demon to kill instructor Liu. This kid is not a good guy , dying here can be regarded as the dryad killing harm for the people and doing a good deed."

Chen Ziyang understood Yang Lei's feelings very well. After all, Yang Lei had suffered a lot at the hands of this instructor Liu. He wished that instructor Liu would die in front of him, but he recalled the half of instructor Liu before. Chen Ziyang patted Yang Lei's shoulder for the pot of water and the shriveled quarter of the apple.

Although when there was a shortage of water, Instructor Liu gave Chen Ziyang the half pot of water and the quarter of the shriveled apple for a purpose. He hoped to preserve Chen Ziyang's physical strength so that he could crack the secret of the diamond.

But after all, instructor Liu's actions did indeed save Yang Lei's life and Chen Ziyang's life, so Chen Ziyang always remembered it in his heart.At this time, seeing Instructor Liu at the end of his strength, he would never be as cruel as Yang Lei and let Instructor Liu ignore him.

After patting Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang hurried forward with the ancient Xuanming sword in hand.

At this time, the tree demon was controlled by Instructor Liu, unable to move at all, and Instructor Liu was also tightly entangled by the tree demon.There is a delicate balance between one person and one demon. The tree demon has no way to absorb those souls to enhance its mana, and instructor Liu has no way to deal with the tree demon.However, the joining of Chen Ziyang is likely to break this balance.

Apart from wanting to repay the favor of Instructor Liu, Chen Ziyang had another idea when he stepped forward with his sword. He felt that the diamond was in the hands of the tree demon at this time. To seize this diamond, it is very likely that it will be more difficult to seize the diamond from the dryad after the dryad is out of trouble.

While running forward, Chen Ziyang carefully observed the tree demon, but he didn't see the diamond on the tree demon.Seeing Chen Ziyang running towards him with the ancient Xuanming sword in his hands, Instructor Liu and the tree demon showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

This dryad, which has absorbed blood and soul for hundreds of years, also has a very strong intelligence. It judged from Chen Ziyang's eyes that Chen Ziyang's stepping forward should be bad for him, so the dryad let go for a few minutes. The roots entangled the roots of Instructor Liu, causing the roots to dance, and slapped Instructor Liu vigorously.

After these tree roots were thrown up by the tree demon, they were like thorny whips, hitting instructor Liu's body one after another, making crackling noises.

The speed of these tree roots swinging is very fast, and at the same time the force of the blow is also very strong. It seems that the dryad is a little anxious. It hopes to get rid of Instructor Liu by the blow of these tree roots. Get out of trouble before.

Following the blows of these tree roots, there were more than a dozen bloodstains on Liu's instructor.At this time, a lot of blood oozed from the corner of Instructor Liu's mouth. It seemed that the blow from the tree root was very effective. Instructor Liu had already suffered serious internal injuries.

"Hmm... ah..." Following the attack of the dryad, Instructor Liu let out a low growl again. He absorbed a black lizard shadow creature again, and used this magical power to fight against the dryad. .

Chen Ziyang, who ran in front of the tree demon and instructor Liu, finally figured out the origin of the weird noises he heard in the dragon's blood cluster. The demons have been fighting for a long time.

Seeing that Chen Ziyang had already rushed forward, and at the same time, his blows had no effect on Instructor Liu, and there was no way to get rid of Instructor Liu's control. The Dryad stretched out one of its arms, aiming at Chen Ziyang's direction.

Chen Ziyang, who ran to the tree demon's root, didn't understand the significance of the tree demon's action, but with the experience of struggling between life and death many times, Chen Ziyang instinctively felt that danger was coming to him.

At this moment, the dryad's arm suddenly disintegrated.Its arm instantly disintegrated into more than a dozen tree roots, and the whip-like roots suddenly swept towards Chen Ziyang.These tree roots surrounded Chen Ziyang from all directions, and struck Chen Ziyang together.

Although the tree demon's attack was very sudden this time, and the attacking angles of more than a dozen tree roots were also very tricky, and almost all angles were blocked, but Chen Ziyang, who had long been on guard, had already prepared to avoid it in advance. Actions.

Just when these tree roots rushed towards his face and swept towards his body, Chen Ziyang slammed his waist and rolled to the side, avoiding the attack of most of the tree roots.

But because the tree demon's arm decomposed too many tree roots this time, almost completely enveloping Chen Ziyang, so although Chen Ziyang dodged in time, there were still two tree roots that were fierce. Slapped him on the back.

When the sharp thorns on these roots slashed through Chen Ziyang's body, they took away a lot of flesh and blood. Two bloody arrows shot out from Chen Ziyang's back, and a burst of burning pain came from the place where the roots had lashed. came.Chen Ziyang screamed, his eyes went dark, and he almost passed out.

Although he was prepared to be whipped by the roots before, Chen Ziyang never thought that these roots would hurt him so much, especially after being scratched by the sharp thorns on the roots, the kind of tearing The pain of heartbreak is not something ordinary people can bear.

The great pain after being whipped by the roots made Chen Ziyang's body stagnate, and in such a short time, the sweeping roots struck Chen Ziyang again.

"Careless!" Looking at the roots that were whipped in front of him, Chen Ziyang knew that he would not be able to hide this time no matter what, and the dozen or so roots would actually hit him.

Just now, just two tree roots whipping made him almost lose his breath. If these dozens of tree roots hit him at the same time, then his little life would be over.
