Chapter 349
"The tree demon is over there!" Yang Lei, who ran to Chen Ziyang in a few steps, hurriedly shouted.

Hearing Yang Lei's words, Chen Ziyang turned around in a hurry, looked behind him, and at the same time quickly drew out the ancient Xuanming sword.

But Chen Ziyang, who turned around, didn't see the tree demon. Before he could move the light beam to look around, Yang Lei had already run past him.Yang Lei waved as he ran forward, motioning for Chen Ziyang to follow.

Seeing Yang Lei's confident movements, Chen Ziyang knew that the boy had really seen the tree demon, so he followed Yang Lei without saying a word.After the two ran forward for a distance of 30 meters, a T-shaped intersection appeared in front of them.The extremely thick tree roots actually forked at this place.

Looking at the bifurcated tree roots, Chen Ziyang estimated in his heart, judging from the distance he ran before, the two of them should have come to the center of the huge crack in the rock mass, and the thick tree roots The two branched branches also extended to the left and right along the direction of the cracks in the mountain.

Although the two branches were branched from the thick tree roots, the thickness of the two branches was not inferior to the thick tree roots under the feet of the two people, almost the same thickness as the several roots before the branch.Chen Ziyang probably didn't see these two branches when he was looking at the tree roots above the cliff because the black fog blocked his vision.

After arriving at this T-junction made of tree branches, Chen Ziyang still didn't see the tree demon. Just when he wanted to stop running and asked Yang Lei which direction he should go, Yang Lei ran to the right without even turning his head. At the same time, he shouted loudly for Chen Ziyang to follow him.

Seeing Yang Lei's actions, Chen Ziyang felt a strange feeling in his heart.I couldn't see these two forks at the place where I just met Yang Lei, and I was running closely behind Yang Lei along the way, the distance between the two was less than one meter, I didn't see the figure of the tree demon.

But why is Yang Lei, who is only one meter in front of him, so sure that the tree demon is running to the right?If he couldn't see the tree demon, he shouldn't be able to see it either. Yang Lei's current behavior is very unreasonable.

Although Chen Ziyang felt a little strange, the speed under his feet was not slow, and he still followed closely behind Yang Lei and ran along the branch on the right.

Yang Lei, who was running in front, seemed to have completely forgotten the pain on his buttocks. He threw off his legs and ran forward with all his strength. Although Chen Ziyang, who was closely behind him, had some doubts, he still He chose to believe in Yang Lei, and ran quickly behind Yang Lei.

After running for about 100 meters, Chen Ziyang suddenly felt that the toe of his right foot seemed to be stuck in a tree hole. Chen Ziyang reacted, he tripped over the tree hole, and fell on the tree trunk with a plop.

"Lei Zi, stop!" Chen Ziyang felt a huge pain in his chest from this somersault, and he hastily made Yang Lei stop.After pulling out his toes, Chen Ziyang turned around and looked at the tree hole where he had just tripped over.

A deep hole the size of a fist appeared on the thick trunk. Chen Ziyang saw that there were some signs of being bitten on the edge of this tree hole. It seemed that this tree hole was also bitten out.Looking at the size of the tree hole, Chen Ziyang had an idea in his heart, and then he hurriedly took out the body of the seal spider from his pocket.

Putting the seal spider's shell on the tree hole, Chen Ziyang found that the size of the tree hole was just enough for the seal spider to use as a nest. It seems that his previous judgment was correct. The tree roots gnawed on and the tree hole in front of it should all be bitten out by this seal spider.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly used the flashlight to shine into the tree hole.The tree hole began to bend at a depth of thirty or forty centimeters, and the depths could not be seen at all.There is nothing in the tree hole except some sawdust.

At this moment, Yang Lei, who had run far away, hurried back and said to Chen Ziyang: "What are you still dawdling about? The tree demon is ahead, let's catch up quickly."

"Lei Zi, tell me the truth, have you really seen that tree demon? Why haven't I seen it?" Chen Ziyang asked Yang Lei while looking around vigilantly.

Hearing Chen Ziyang's question, Yang Lei showed hesitation in his eyes, and then he said to Chen Ziyang: "I did see that dryad, maybe you didn't pay attention just now, the dryad flashed by, but I did indeed see it."

After staring into Yang Lei's eyes for a few seconds, Chen Ziyang relaxed the expression on his face, nodded and said, "I believe in you, let's catch up quickly and end the matter here as soon as possible."

Hearing what Chen Ziyang said, Yang Lei showed a joyful expression on his face, and said: "You have been running for so long with so many things on your back, are you tired? How about I help you get some." Yang Lei After Lei finished speaking, he reached out to Chen Ziyang's backpack.

"No need, I'll take it myself, and you lead the way." Tightening his backpack strap, Chen Ziyang declined Yang Lei's kindness.

Seeing that Chen Ziyang didn't hand over the backpack to him, Yang Lei was obviously stunned for a moment, but he still said with great concern: "Okay, if you are tired, just hand over the things to me, after all, you are the one between the two of us." The main force should conserve energy.

Let's end things here quickly. I still want to go home and take a shower. I've been here for so long. I haven't taken a shower or brushed my teeth once. Now my body is already smelly. Let's fight quickly quick decision. "

After saying this, Yang Lei turned around and left, with Chen Ziyang following behind him.Yang Lei who had just walked two steps suddenly stopped, with an unbelievable expression on his face, then Yang Lei slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest.

The tip of the ancient Xuanming sword protruded from Yang Lei's chest.Surprised, Yang Lei couldn't turn around because he was pierced by the ancient Xuanming sword. He could only stare at the tip of the sword and said slowly: "Why...you..."

"Let me tell you one thing, this boy Yang Lei never brushes his teeth." After saying this, Chen Ziyang pulled out the ancient Xuanming sword from Yang Lei's body with all his strength. Yang Lei's body, who was slowly kneeling in front of him, suddenly turned into a cloud of black mist, melting into the surrounding black mist.

"Oops, it turned out to be a trick." Chen Ziyang cursed fiercely in his heart, and then he hurriedly took out the soul-suppressing paperweight.The moment his fingers touched the soul-suppressing paperweight, Chen Ziyang shivered violently, and a cool feeling spread throughout his body, and Chen Ziyang felt his mind clear up a lot.

Fortunately, the dryad didn't know Yang Lei well. He didn't know that Yang Lei was so lazy that he didn't even brush his teeth, except when Yang Lei's wife couldn't bear it and beat and scolded him.It was also this flaw that made Chen Ziyang firmly believe that the Yang Lei in front of him was not the real Yang Lei, but the illusion of the tree demon.

Chen Ziyang already knew that the dryad can confuse people's minds, but after the dryad escaped, he had no contact with the dryad, so he ignored it.

However, the weird behavior of the fake Yang Lei before and the sudden exposure of his flaws reminded Chen Ziyang of this point.The combination of several doubts made him affirm his idea.

The tree demon's illusion of this fake Yang Lei was really a master move. Not only did he successfully lure himself away and separate himself from the real Yang Lei, but he also wasted a lot of time to restore the tree demon's mana and won a precious prize. time.

Soul Town Paperweight helped him resist the temptation of the tree demon twice before, so the fake Yang Lei pretended to help him carry things, but in fact he wanted to take Soul Town Paperweight away from his side, so as not to let himself see through this situation prematurely. thing.

But it was this point that deepened Chen Ziyang's suspicion of the fake Yang Lei.Although Yang Lei is usually not serious, he is still very reliable when something really happens. At such a critical time, Yang Lei will never take his backpack containing the magic weapon away from his body.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang was shocked into a cold sweat. This tree demon is indeed an old monster who has cultivated for hundreds of years. The IQ of the tree demon has already surpassed ordinary people. It actually made full use of its trust in Yang Lei As well as his desire to get rid of it, he resorted to such a trick.It seems that Soul Town Paperweight can't let go of himself.

Because too much time was wasted by the tree demon, and because he was worried about Yang Lei's situation, Chen Ziyang returned the same way with the soul-suppressing paperweight and flashlight in one hand, and the ancient Xuanming sword in the other.

Running to the place where the thick tree roots forked, Chen Ziyang saw Yang Lei standing there in a daze, facing the T-shaped intersection at a loss.

Seeing Chen Ziyang running over, Yang Lei's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he hurriedly opened his mouth and cursed at Chen Ziyang: "You son of a bitch, what are you doing! What did you do to you!"

Chen Ziyang, who came in front of Yang Lei, without saying a word, stretched out his hand and pressed the tip of the ancient Xuanming sword against Yang Lei's chest, and asked him viciously: "What's your wife's name?"

Hearing Chen Ziyang's question, Yang Lei was obviously taken aback, "What time is this, aren't you in a hurry to get rid of the tree demon? Why are you asking this question? Take your sword away quickly, are you crazy? up?

I couldn't see you after I got down from the top just now, so I walked along the roots of the tree to see where you went, but after I got here, I didn't know which direction to go, I I guess it's impossible for you to leave me, so I just waited here for a while, and at this moment you came back. "

"Stop talking nonsense, talk! I'm not joking with you." Chen Ziyang ignored Yang Lei, but showed a very serious expression.

Seeing that Chen Ziyang was asking this question very seriously, Yang Lei said helplessly: "My surname is Hu, my first name is Jing, and my name is Tutu."

After listening to Yang Lei's answer, Chen Ziyang heaved a sigh of relief, withdrew his serious expression, and also withdrew the ancient Xuanming sword, and then he told Yang Lei what happened just now in short words.Hearing this, Yang Lei said aggrievedly:
"You scared me to death. I thought you were crazy. Next time something like this happens, can we come up with some code words or something? Let me tell you, this is a harmonious society now. If you put In the past, this woman was married and didn't even have a name, Hu Tutu had to be called Yang Hu, if I answered that way just now, would you stab me to death?"

"Come on, now I'm [-]% sure that you are the real Yang Lei. You can't imitate the appearance of a tree demon pretending to be a man behind your wife's back. I don't know what kind of virtue you are. Are you still Yang Hu? Hu If Tutu is really here, you have to behave like a kitten." After giving Yang Lei a blank look, Chen Ziyang said.

"I don't like to hear what you say. Let me tell you, I'm not bragging. I'll say the same thing whether Hu Tutu is here or not. Don't believe me. In our family, no one else really counts what they say... ..."

"Come on, come on, come on, don't be serious, what you really talk about in your family is Hu Tutu, and everyone in Linhai City knows it. Don't be poor, we have wasted a lot of time by the tree demon, now Get down to business now."

After Chen Ziyang finished speaking, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket, and then he bit the middle finger of his right hand, and drew a talisman on the yellow paper with the middle finger dripping with blood.

The talisman that Chen Ziyang drew on the yellow paper was exactly the pattern of the soul-suppressing seal under the soul-suppressing paperweight. He had imitated this talisman many times before and had already memorized it by heart.Although after testing, Chen Ziyang found that the soul-suppressing seal he drew was not as good as the soul-suppressing paperweight, but it could still play [-]% of the effect, which should be more than enough to help Yang Lei resist the temptation of the tree demon.

Now it seems that the dryad can freely affect people's mind in this black mist. I am fine. After all, there is a soul-suppressing paperweight that can restrain the dryad, but Yang Lei can't do it. If the situation just now happens again However, if Yang Lei is really bewitched by the tree demon, and then he turns against him, the gain will not be worth the loss, so it is very necessary to spend some time painting the soul talisman.

"Open your mouth!" After drawing the soul-suppressing talisman, Chen Ziyang took out a lighter and lit the talisman paper. Hui took some sparks and stuffed them into Yang Lei's mouth.

"Bah, bah, bah..." Yang Lei vomited and retched, spitting back and forth his tongue that was blackened by the black ash talisman paper.

"Time is running out, this is the fastest way, you should be wronged." After relieved of his worries, Chen Ziyang stood up and looked at the T-junction again.

"Cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness. Just now the tree demon led me to the right, so let's go to the left!"
