Chapter 167 Tree Demon
Four people together are always safer than two people, not to mention having such a super guarantee as before.

This place has gone through countless years of erosion, and many places have begun to collapse. They still choose to go upstream along the river. After all, this is the most direct way. Ruchu actually has a way to contact Chu Liangchen. But she didn't do that, and she didn't know if she forgot or what, and the other people were very sensible and didn't mention it, so the four of them walked up the river together.

Zuo Zhan and Nangong Xiao held torches in their hands to light up. The water in the river was still clean and there was nothing in it. You could hear rustling sounds in your ears. I don't know how many creatures were alarmed by their arrival, and it was absolutely indispensable inside. Some ferocious things, but there is an abnormal existence in them, so they just wait and see, not daring to come forward.

After walking not far, I saw a semi-circular door opening, the bluestone door was tightly closed, and the two animal head hanging rings on it were covered with green copper rust.

Nangong Xiao handed the torch to Zuo Zhan, wrapped his hands with his clothes, and grabbed the hanging ring on the door with both hands and pulled hard. The door that had been closed for an unknown amount of time made a heavy sound, and he pulled it open. The smell of dust came over his face immediately, Nangong Xiao quickly turned his head, poohed a few times: "What kind of place is this? How many years has it been?"

Several people took torches to illuminate it, and it turned out to be a large-scale stone room, which had already been covered with dust, and the walls were covered with blue-black moss, and when one stepped in, the dust almost covered one's feet.

Zuo Zhan held a torch and approached the wall. There were also murals on the wall, but they had already been covered by moss and vines all over the wall. He stretched out his hand to pull a vine and tore it off, revealing a little bit of colorfulness inside. The paint came: "Let's clean up here, first figure out what this place is, and what these murals should explain."

A few people worked together, and quickly cleaned up the murals. Under the light of the torches, colorful but simple and vivid pictures appeared in front of them.

They were still men and women dressed in animal skins and leaves. They knelt on the ground and kowtow respectfully to a big tree in the center. Under the big tree was a hunchbacked old woman, holding a crooked cane in her hand, Holding up a piece of something similar to Jiyu, but it is much bigger than the one Dongli and the others saw just now, and the color is different. It is an extremely bright red. This Jiji's head is raised high, Caught by the old woman's hands and held high, the long body and tail are coiled on the tree, the four claws under the abdomen are grasping the bark, and the white roots are firmly attached to the big tree, which looks extraordinarily terrifying.

In addition to those who kneeled, there were also some tall and strong men standing in a circle holding crude weapons in their hands, as if they were shouting something, all of them looked excited, look carefully, the eyes of those simple figures But there seems to be a frenzy in it, and it makes people feel chills down their spines.

"What do you mean?" Dong Li frowned, feeling hairy in his heart: "They are kneeling down to worship this monster? Could it be that they built this place specially to enshrine the monster?" If it came out, if it was deliberately raised here, then it would make sense.

"Keep looking, there are still several paintings." Zuo Zhan also felt inappropriate, why does this mural give people such an evil feeling?So he held up a torch to light up the second painting, his frowning brows did not relax at all, and he also had the same thought in his heart as Dongli. Could it be that this place was specially built by some strange tribe to take care of him?What's the use of raising such a weird and disgusting thing?
Nangong Xiao wanted to hold Dongli's hand to warm her, but unfortunately he was always unable to hold the hand of Soul, a little discouraged: "Don't worry, I'm here, even if there's something wrong, we're all together."

Dongli raised the corner of his mouth and nodded heavily: "Yes! We are together!"

Ru Chu turned his head slightly and looked at them curiously. Could this be the so-called love between men and women?Do the two of them want to live and die together?Then he followed Zuo Zhan and jumped down, was it because of this?Do you like him too?
The content on the second mural is even more eerie and gloomy. A dozen or so selected strong men and women are sitting under the big tree with their eyes closed. Jiyu kings are also red, but their bodies are much smaller. They crawl on people and bite them, and discharge their eggs into people's bodies.

"Ouch!" Dongli looked disgusted, and turned his face away in disgust: "It's disgusting to use living people to raise this thing! This tribe is absolutely ignorant and bloody. Just look at them using their own people to raise these things." Terrible things know how cruel their nature should be."

Seeing that she didn't look at it, Nangong Xiao refused to look at it himself. He accompanied Dongli to the side and waited for the two of them. Zuo Zhan and Ruchu continued to look down at the mural with torches. The more they looked at it, the more ugly their faces became. , the tighter the brows, it seems that the content on this mural is definitely not a good thing.

The lock on Dongli's neck was heating up slightly, as if he had found something, but the feeling was not particularly obvious, so he just reacted, and didn't show too much, Dongli was vigilant, holding the lock in one hand Holding Xueming in one hand, his eyes are wide open, looking around like a frightened rabbit.

Zuo Zhan and Ru Chu walked over with ugly faces: "The murals are all related to things like Jiyu. It seems that those people specialize in raising this thing. Let's be careful, I'm afraid there won't be too many of these things."

Several people nodded, because of the appearance of Jiyu, there were a lot of risks in this unknown cave, and they didn't know what they would encounter.

Ru Chu's eyes froze, and suddenly he stabbed Dong Li with his sword. Dong Li stood calmly and didn't move. He didn't know whether it was because he was frightened or stupid, or because he believed too much that Ru Chu would not believe in himself. Anyway, the sword was close to her. Although it was a soul, the sword He Meijing possessed by Ruchu is not an ordinary thing. The soul body can still be killed. She just stood there without blinking her eyes, and felt the light coming from her cheek. The temperature of the sword.

"What is that?" Zuo Zhan's eyes fell on the sword in surprise. None of them thought that Ru Chu would suddenly use the sword, but none of them thought that Ru Chu would suddenly murder Dong Li, so they behaved fairly about this matter. Calm down, but Nangong Xiao's heart skipped a beat in disappointment.

There was a piece of emerald green on Ruchu's sword, and he slowly retracted the sword. It was actually a very bright branch with a few small leaves on it.

"Where did the branches come from here?" Dong Li leaned over and looked, surprised: "Could someone come over?"

"No." Ru Chu casually burned the branch with a flame: "It's a tree demon."

The tree demons all widened their eyes and widened their mouths to express their surprise, Dongli swept their expressions and balanced himself a little: "Well, I admit, it's normal for a monster to appear like this, As long as you have a lot of skill, you can grind an iron rod into a needle, let alone a tree demon, I have seen the locust tree spirit before."

The two men felt guilty that they were not as calm as the woman, and immediately cleared up their surprised emotions: "Why is there only one branch? It ran away?"

"I can't run away." Ru Chu sneered, the tree demon is not like those animals that can run away when things go wrong, its body is rooted in the ground, and it is difficult to run away, as the saying goes, a monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away Ah, unless it is willing to abandon its own body and most of the true energy that it has worked so hard to cultivate.

The tree demon just now should have wanted to pick up some cheap ones. Dongli's soul was very attracted to these things, but he couldn't steal a lot of rice. He was injured by Ru Chu's sword. .

"Follow me." Ru Chu ordered in a low voice, and took the lead to walk into a side hole. This place is like a maze, with big holes nesting small holes. If you are not careful, you will get lost. You can lock directly like Ru Chu The breath of the dryad chased after them, and even if ordinary people wanted to deal with the monsters, they would probably get dizzy by walking around the maze with their backs on their backs.

Passing through several closely connected caves, it feels like stringing candied haws, one round after another, and finally a touch of verdant green appears in their line of sight, to the eyes of those who are visually fatigued by the dusty stone walls. People with a strong visual impact.

It was a towering tree. They were just standing at the root of the tree. They could hardly see its head when they raised their heads. They didn't know how tall it was. The branches and leaves were densely packed, and they were connected one by one like a green cloud.The leaves were so green that they looked like they were carved from jasper, and they were astonishingly beautiful.

"This is the tree demon's body?" Dongli looked up at the beautiful giant tree almost obsessively, and couldn't believe it was real: "As expected of a monster who has practiced for thousands of years, it is so beautiful!" Like the best jadeite, it looks extraordinarily cool and compelling.

"It's just a tree demon." Ru Chu didn't care much, and held a sword flower in his hand: "I cut it, and see if you can't bear it." Speaking of the sword, the sword breathed, and a sharp light flew towards it. A thick tree trunk that can be hugged by a human being.

"Stop!" With a hoarse cry, a green light appeared from nowhere, preventing the destruction of the sword energy. A young man in green clothes jumped out angrily, pointed at Ru Chu's nose and cursed: "I Where did I offend you? Are you going to destroy me when you come up?"

　Being a woman is really painful, my stomach hurts and my back hurts.
