Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

"But if we stay here, won't we just die anyway?" Kakutani asked, puzzled.

Chikako Ikeda raised her chin. "I've thought of a foolproof plan, absolutely safe!"

After hearing the method, Kakutani felt completely relieved. "Chikako, you're still the smartest!"

Chikako Ikeda was also extremely smug, then lowered her voice, "Moreover, this is a good opportunity to deal with Takahashi..."

Kakutani was taken aback, then realized what was happening, "Chikako, could it be that you really..."

"Pah! I wrote that script myself!" Chikako Ikeda emphasized again, and reminded him, "Takahashi has gone mad. He even said he wanted to kill us. If we don't get rid of him, will you dare to sleep soundly in the future?"

“But the problem is…” Kakutani hesitated, “Murder is illegal…”

Chikako Ikeda sneered, "Have you forgotten how Ota died?"

“Carry Takahashi downstairs, cut him into pieces, and say it was done by the bandaged man…”

"We're doing this to avenge Ota... Who told Takahashi to be so ruthless?"

Chikako Ikeda whispered in Kakutani's ear, "After we're done, you can do whatever you want, I'll be happy to oblige!"

Chapter 104 The Strength of a Top-Tier Thug

Outside the villa, the sky was dim, a light rain was falling, and a breeze carried a hint of chill.

Chu Zhong carried cooking oil, Wu Chi Xiao Lan carried two large bundles of firewood, and Yuan Zi and Ling Zi held flashlights and held umbrellas for the two of them.

"They actually dared to stay at the villa?"

Sonoko looked back and found that no one was chasing after her.

Previously, just missing a bandaged person had already terrified Chikako Ikeda and Kakutani, who were scrambling around and screaming.

By 6 p.m., the number of bandaged men attacking will reach nine. How will those two people handle that?

"They might have thought of another way."

Chu Zhong walked into the woods and led the way, saying casually, "For example, cut down the stairs... If the bandaged man can't climb stairs, then it's quite safe."

Conan said, "Now that Takahashi is tied up, there shouldn't be any accidents."

Previously, Takahashi had lowered a rope down from the second-floor window, allowing the bandaged man to climb into Kakutani's room and kill Ota Masaru.

Chu Zhong glanced at Conan but ignored him.

Takahashi was indeed unable to move, but the other two people who had been severely agitated by Takahashi were able to move freely.

It's hard to say they might have some bad intentions and want to get rid of Takahashi... but there's something strange about Takahashi.

From the moment the bandaged man used the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain, Chu Zhong suspected that Takahashi might be able to command the bandaged man's actions at close range.

If that's the case, then the deaths in the dungeon might just be the surface for Takahashi...

"Cough cough cough..."

After walking for a few minutes, Chu Zhong felt a tickle in his throat and couldn't help but lean against a tree trunk and cough for a while.

The annoying feeling of weakness resurfaced.

“Chu Jun…” Yuanzi gently patted Chu Zhong’s back to help him catch his breath, her voice full of worry.

"It's nothing..." Chu Zhong waved his hand and quickly continued leading the way.

Because I was tracking the person with bandages, I spent a long time outside in the afternoon and was exposed to some wind and rain, which made my cold seem to be getting worse.

At worst, I can just get a good rest tonight.

The group continued onward, advancing steadily towards the bandaged men's lair.

Throughout the journey, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan kept her eyes fixed on Chu Zhong's retreating figure, lost in thought...

On the other side, inside the villa.

Chikako Ikeda and Kakutani worked together to move Takahashi to the first floor.

Takahashi was bound by bandages and unable to move, his mouth was gagged, but his eyes showed no sign of panic.

Kakutani gripped the axe handle tightly and muttered, "Takahashi, you attacked Ota first, and then framed me and Chikako... Blame yourself..."

"Waaaaah..." Takahashi made indistinct sounds, but it didn't sound like he was crying or begging for mercy; his eyes were full of mockery.

"Hurry up!" Chikako Ikeda urged, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms. "Cut off the head first, and then cut off the rest after the blood has drained enough..."

Boom--boom--

The dull thud of the axe echoed quickly through the first floor of the villa…

"What is that thing?!?"

Conan's voice was full of shock, but it quickly faded into surprise. "Those are tree spirits, right? So many bandaged people!"

Chu Zhong noticed the change in tone from surprise to relative calm.

At this moment, the five people were hiding behind a thick tree trunk.

Not far away, there was an open space with a large tree in the middle, with a trunk at least three meters in diameter and nearly ten meters tall.

Around the big tree, there were more than twenty bandaged men wandering around.

In the dim light, the tree, like a person, bent over, its two lush branches resembling hands, seemingly fiddling with something.

Chu Zhong had seen it once before and knew that the tree not only had a nose and eyes, but was also a master craftsman, using its own branches to make wooden axes, gluing its leaves together to make bandages, and finally watering them with sap to give them mobility...

[Boss-level - Emerald Tree Demon]

[HP: 50]

Fortunately, the dungeon affected normal people's perception, allowing Conan and the others to quickly accept the bizarre sights.

Otherwise, Sonoko, Ayako, and Conan would have contributed a few screams.

"Watch me take care of them all!"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan couldn't wait to put down the firewood and run off to enjoy the thrill of battle.

"Don't run around!" Chu Zhong hurriedly called out, stopping the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

Chu Zhong then told Sonoko, Ayako, and Conan to stay where they were and not to move around.

He then led the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan, took a flashlight, and walked to a spot thirty meters away.

then……

[The teammate, Demon King-level Ran Mouri, has been equipped with "Golden Embroidered Robe", "Golden Leggings", and "Golden Wrathful Mask"]

Chu Zhong temporarily equipped his other three pieces of equipment to the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan, thus completing a full set of Golden Body armor.

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan's eyes lit up instantly, and she threw herself into his arms: "Honey! You're the best~"

The increase in her own strength made Xiaolan, a martial arts fanatic, genuinely happy.

“It’s not a gift for you,” Chu Zhong emphasized, “it’s just a temporary loan for you to wear.”

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan seemed not to hear, only repeatedly saying, "Thank you, husband~".

Chu Zhong felt somewhat helpless, then turned on his flashlight and shone it in the direction of the tree demon.

The sudden appearance of a bright light in the darkness immediately caught the attention of the tree demon. It waved its oversized fly swatter-like hand, and all the bandaged people rushed towards the light.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a newly created bandaged human, seemingly possessing its own consciousness, strode off in the darkness in another direction...

"The rest is up to you."

Chu Zhong patted the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan on the back, created some distance, and used a flashlight to help illuminate the area behind them.

Thud—thud—thud!

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan quickly engaged in combat with the bandaged man who rushed at her. Thanks to the high defense provided by her Golden Body Set, the axes that came at her were unable to cause any effective damage.

Without worrying about defense, martial arts fanatic Xiaolan was able to attack recklessly, each punch and kick powerful and heavy.

Almost every attack could take away a bandaged person, demonstrating the terrifying attack power of a demon king.

[Teammate successfully defeated the dungeon enemy, gaining 240 experience and 260 spirit essence.]

[Teammates successfully defeated the dungeon enemy...]

[Teammates successfully defeated the dungeon enemy...]

Listening to the constant notification sounds and watching the ever-increasing spiritual energy and experience, Chu Zhong was in a good mood.

Summoning the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan only cost 2500 spirit essence.

These twenty-odd bandaged people alone brought in over 5000 spiritual energy.

As expected of a top-tier henchman at the Demon King level!

In less than two minutes, the more than twenty bandaged men were all dealt with by the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan.

Chu Zhong's flashlight also shone on the lush green tree demon in the open space.

huh-huh-

The complete annihilation of the bandaged men seemed to greatly anger the Green Tree Demon, who waved its large branches, at least three meters long, as if it wanted to take to the battlefield itself.

However, its roots were firmly fixed in the soil, and the emerald green tree demon could not move at all.

So Chu Zhong called everyone to a spot ten meters away from the Emerald Tree Demon.

"Xiao Lan, throw this axe at the tree demon with all your might."

Chu Zhong picked up a wooden axe left behind by the bandaged man after his death and handed it to the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

call out--!

The wooden axe was thrown by the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan, and with a whooshing sound, it swiftly struck the tree demon.

Snapped--

The axe was deflected by the thick, solid bark, leaving only a shallow white mark.

"No wonder you brought firewood!"

Sonoko and the others finally realized what was happening.

"But how can I get close to the Tree Demon?" Conan was extremely puzzled.

If you can't get close, even with cooking oil, the fire can only be contained to a small area.

The tree demon will definitely try to put out the fire; how can it possibly burn?

Chapter 105 The Good Stuff in the Tree Core

"I have my own way..."

After Chu Zhong finished speaking, he told Yuanzi and the others to stay where they were and proceed according to the plan.

He then picked up the cooking oil and had the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan carry the firewood. The two of them followed the edge of the forest and circled around to the back of the tree demon.

"Time is up."

Conan glanced at his watch and gave a reminder.

Yuanzi immediately turned on her flashlight and shone it wildly into the tree demon's eyes.

Huh-huh-huh-

Enraged by this prank, the tree demon wildly waved its branches, but like a leashed dog, it couldn't touch Sonoko and the others at all.

Meanwhile, Chu Zhong and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan took advantage of the tree demon's distraction and approached it from behind.

The tree demon was clearly not very intelligent. Chu Zhong carried cooking oil and quickly poured it around the tree roots before it was discovered.

call--!

The tree demon swung its enormous, fly-swatter-like 'hand' and slammed it down at lightning speed.

Certainly!
