Chapter 350
"Eryang, did you say that the dryad brushed his teeth 2000 years ago? Otherwise, how would he know about brushing his teeth?"

"Also, if the dryad doesn't know what brushing teeth is, why does the word brush teeth come out of its mouth?"

"Besides, you judged that the Yang Lei you saw before was fake based on the fact that the tree demon said that he wanted to brush his teeth. So what do you mean by that? When did I stop brushing my teeth?"

……

Yang Lei kept asking one meaningless question after another in Chen Ziyang's ear, obviously he had a problem with Chen Ziyang's saying that he didn't brush his teeth.

Listening to Yang Lei's chattering words, Chen Ziyang didn't bother to explain to him. He knew Yang Lei's problem. The more nervous he was, the harder it was for Yang Lei to close his mouth. He relieved it by talking non-stop. own stress and tension.

Now Chen Ziyang can't stand being annoyed by Yang Lei. He now regrets that he used the soul-suppressing talisman to help Yang Lei dispel the side effects of the black mist. If he had known that there would be such a result, it would be better to just Let Yang Lei be bewitched by the tree demon, so at least he will be quieter on the road.

But Yang Lei's words acted as a reminder. Chen Ziyang thought that the fake Yang Lei transformed by the tree demon could tell about bathing and brushing his teeth, which was enough to prove that the tree demon also started the spiritual link with him before. Some relevant information was obtained in the brain, just like he could get information from the tree demon.If this is the case, it will be a little dangerous.

What kind of information did the dryad get from his own brain?Will this information be used by the dryad against him?Chen Ziyang didn't know the answers to these questions, and he was very worried about this.

If the dryad really got enough information from his brain, then his ability to subdue monsters and eliminate monsters would be useless.The dryad's spiritual intelligence was cultivated to a very high level, and he would definitely think of a way to restrain himself.

However, when Chen Ziyang saw the soul-suppressing paperweight and the ancient Xuanming sword in his hands, his worries eased a lot.

Through the brief contact with the tree demon before, Chen Ziyang knew that his ancient Xuanming sword should be able to cause enough damage to the tree demon. Yang Lei, who has no mana, has never been able to kill the tree demon's vines with the ancient Xuanming sword. It can be seen by cutting this point, and the soul-suppressing paperweight seems to have a natural restraint effect on the illusion produced by the tree demon. These are also my biggest reliance on dealing with the tree demon in the future.

When walking forward on this thick tree root, Chen Ziyang found that the number of tree holes eaten by seal spiders on the branch on the left was obviously much more than that on the branch on the right.

After being led to the branch on the right by the fake Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang tripped over the tree hole gnawed by the seal spider. After getting up, he carefully observed the surface of the branch.On the right branch, there is a tree hole eaten by seal spiders every few meters.

But on the branch on the left, these tree holes are obviously much denser, and as the two people move forward, these tree holes appear more and more frequently and denser, even in some places on the branch However, because these tree holes appear too densely, almost one by one, many tree holes on the surface of the branches are connected together, and some broken cracks appear on the surface of the branches.

Most of these cracks are very thin, just like the cracks that appeared in the tree body due to the long death of this ancient tree.

But there is a crack that is very wide. Even when he saw this crack, Chen Ziyang hesitated whether he should continue to walk forward. He was afraid that the tree branch at the other end of the crack would be stepped on by two people. It then broke and fell to the bottom of the cliff.

When he came near this crack, Chen Ziyang didn't want to waste time here, but with the light of the flashlight, he saw something caught in this wide crack from the corner of his eye. Then he stopped, lying on top of the gap, and lit the inside of the gap with a flashlight.

Chen Ziyang found that the thing caught in the crack of the tree looked familiar, no matter how it looked, it looked like the body of the seal spider on his body, so he used the scabbard of the ancient Xuanming sword to pull out the thing in the crack.

That's right, although the body of this seal spider is not complete, it is only a part of the body of the seal spider, but Chen Ziyang is [-]% sure that this thing is the body of the seal spider.

Holding this body in his hand, Chen Ziyang found that the body of the seal spider was not elastic, and it actually shattered a lot under his own twisting. It seems that this seal spider has been dead for some years.

But after removing several traces on the body, he judged that this seal spider should also have died from the predation of that black lizard shadow creature, because the cracked part of the body was exactly the same as the crack of the seal spider on his body.

At this time, Chen Ziyang saw that besides the tree hole eaten by the seal spider, there were some other traces around the crack.Although these traces were very small, they were still captured by him.

These traces look like several embroidery needles lined up on the surface of the trunk, and they are some small scratches with small gaps lined up together.Recalling the bloodstains on Instructor Liu's body that were scratched by black shadow creatures, Chen Ziyang guessed that these marks were made by lizard shadow creatures.

The question that had been bothering him for a long time resurfaced in Chen Ziyang's mind. He couldn't figure out how these two creatures existed in such a strange environment, and why they lived for so many years.

According to the fact that the black lizard shadow creature also appeared in the ancient tomb, Chen Ziyang estimated that this lizard creature probably existed when the dryad was still alive, and it should have been living in the huge body of the dryad. Within, living among these innumerable root systems.

Moreover, the pattern on the seal spider's abdomen is exactly the same as the pattern on the belt buckle of the king of the ancient kingdom of Mimi. From this, it can be confirmed that the seal spider has existed for a very long time, and it should have existed when the tree demon was alive.Although he couldn't figure out the relationship, Chen Ziyang always felt that there was something else going on, but now he didn't have a clue.

After walking forward for a certain distance, Chen Ziyang found that there were more and more tree holes gnawed by the seal spiders, which affected the actions of the two people.And from time to time, he could see some damaged shells of seal spiders mixed in these tree holes, but from the beginning to the end, Chen Ziyang did not see the corpse of a lizard creature.

Apart from being extremely damaged, these shells should also be very old, to the extent that some shells were directly reduced to ashes under his touch.

Looking at the densely packed tree holes on the ground, Chen Ziyang had a vague feeling that he knew that he was going to get there soon.At this moment, a gloomy cold air rushed towards the face, and both of them shivered subconsciously.

This burst of cold air is mixed with very strong resentment and a gloomy atmosphere, giving people the feeling that they have come to a mass grave where tens of thousands of people are buried.Sensing this terrifying aura, Yang Lei subconsciously took a few steps closer to Chen Ziyang.

Because of Chen Ziyang's reminder along the way, Yang Lei has been following Chen Ziyang closely, for fear that the two of them will accidentally get separated in the black mist. Ziyang's Yang Lei may be about to suffer a big loss, so the distance between the two has not been far.

But even so, under the influence of this cold breath, Yang Lei, who was less than one meter away from Chen Ziyang, still took a few steps closer to Chen Ziyang, and said in a trembling voice: "Er Yang , something is not right, why do I feel so cold, it seems that there is a chill in my bones."

Even if the yin and yang eyes were not turned on, Chen Ziyang knew that this place should be very close to the place where the tree demon absorbed the soul, but because of the thick black fog around here, he couldn't see clearly what was in front of him at all.

After telling Yang Lei to be careful, Chen Ziyang clenched the ancient Xuanming sword in his hand, and led Yang Lei to walk forward slowly.

At this time, the thick black fog around the two people became more and more dense. Even when the two people raised their heads, they could no longer see the tops of the spikes growing on the tree trunk. Now the visual range of the two people was only about two or three meters.

After trying to open the yin and yang eyes again, Chen Ziyang found that he still couldn't see through the dense fog, as if the dense fog had a natural restraint effect on the yin and yang eyes.

Just when Chen Ziyang was worried that the dense fog would affect his mana, a familiar feeling suddenly came from his heart.The image of the diamond that almost killed him twice came to Chen Ziyang's mind.

"Is this the diamond calling me?" Such an idea came to his mind, because he had injected blood into the diamond several times before, and Chen Ziyang felt that he had already had a connection with the diamond. He felt as if the diamond was welcoming him.

At this time, Yang Lei was already shivering from the cold. He held his collar tightly with his left hand to prevent the cold wind from pouring into his clothes. At the same time, he put his right hand on Chen Ziyang's back. The feeling gave him a sense of security in his heart.

"Er Yang, what do you think is that?" Yang Lei, who saw something strange on the ground, hastily patted Chen Ziyang's back, pointed to the underside of a spike next to him and said.

Looking along where Yang Lei pointed, Chen Ziyang saw a green thing at the root of a spike not far from the two of them.

Ever since they came to this thick tree root, the two of them had never seen other colors except black and white. The white one was the huge tree root, and the black one was the thick fog that filled the surrounding area. The touch of green in the color is particularly conspicuous, and it immediately attracted the attention of two people.

After walking a few steps towards the green direction, Chen Ziyang squatted down, and he was surprised to find that this touch of green turned out to be a small green sprout.

Grass-green shoots emerge from the place between the spikes on the trunk and the trunk. This grass-green shoot is very tender and looks very fragile, as if after a spring rain, Like a small grass just drilled out from under the soil.

"Not good! The dryad's body is returning to life, we have to hurry up!" Chen Ziyang hurriedly said to Yang Lei behind him.After saying this, he quickly got up and ran forward with Yang Lei.

This new sprout growing from the trunk of the ancient tree sounded the alarm for Chen Ziyang. At this time, the dryad should have absorbed enough souls, otherwise, the dryad's body should not have such a weird phenomenon.

The term "dead wood meets spring" is very appropriate at this time. The tree demon's body should have been dead for 2000 years, but at this moment, this dead ancient tree has regained its vitality. Even the stupid Yang Lei also knew that all of this must have something to do with the dryad absorbing the soul.

The two people who ran forward frantically couldn't care less about being cautious. At this time, wasting one more second of time, the tree demon's mana might be strengthened.Although he was anxious and wasted a lot of time, Chen Ziyang felt that the Dryad should not be his opponent at this time.Otherwise, the dryad would not have broken the hand of the fake Yang Lei before.

As the two of them ran, Chen Ziyang noticed that the thick fog around him seemed to have begun to move, as if a breeze had blown by.

The thick black fog was in a floating state before, but now the thick fog around the two people started to float in one direction.And as the advancing distance increases, the speed of these black thick fogs is also getting faster and faster.The cold atmosphere mixed with the dense fog is getting heavier and heavier.

At the same time, the concentration of the black fog is getting higher and higher, and the visibility is getting worse and worse. The two people can only see things one meter away, and there are even several times when the two people are running fast and almost collide. Spikes emerging from the black fog.

Chen Ziyang, who was running forward, seemed to hear some strange sounds, which were very faint and sounded very ethereal, as if there were slight screams gathered together.

"Is this howling from the souls of those residents of the ancient country?" Chen Ziyang thought in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly felt his eyes light up. Chen Ziyang found that he had penetrated through the thick black fog and came to a place surrounded by thick black fog.

The thick black fog swirled rapidly around him, forming a huge black tornado, but in the very center of the tornado, that is, the eye of the wind, there was not even a trace of thick fog.

Yang Lei, who was following closely behind Chen Ziyang, also froze for a moment after penetrating through the dense fog, before he had time to stabilize his figure, he bumped into the back of Chen Ziyang who was parked in front.

The two stared at the thing in the center of the thick fog, and opened their mouths wide in surprise.

"Eryang... this... what is this thing?"
