Cheng Shiyu clearly remembered the cold and terrifying appearance of the bone tree full of corpses. She also remembered more clearly that the place that was invaded by the "barbarian species" was inevitable, even if the influence of the "barbarian species" could be eradicated in the end.
And now...
"You returned the vitality absorbed by the barbarians to this land?"
The girl paced on the ground in long boots, her white legs standing in the wind between the fluttering hems of her clothes. She stopped and looked at the figure with his back to her at the end of the young buds.
She looked at Li Re's upright figure and the scene just now emerged in her mind again. She remembered the green fire under the strong wind submerged the forest of bone trees, and he and his guardian spirit reached out to grab the wild bone tree at the same time, and finally covered the entire bone tree with spiritual fire, burning it to ashes, and then flowing back to engulf it!
Using the vitality absorbed by the 'barbarians' as a medium.
After eroding the 'bone tree' from the inside out.
Li Re's reverse erosion of the 'barbarians' seemed easy and natural - not to mention that he also asked Xinggong Yue to assist. For the girl's guardian spirit whose own existence has now become a closed loop, there is little that can stop her from stealing!
This is why the bone tree has disappeared.
And now there is the scene of young shoots sprouting from the wasteland under the rising sun.
However, when asking, the "Little Sword Fairy" was still quite nervous and worried. She had thought that Li Re would use some supernatural means to deal with this "bone tree", just like every action in the past...but she didn't expect that he would choose to swallow it directly - it can only be said that the "supernatural player" is worthy of being a supernatural player! According to normal thinking, facing such a strange evil thing as the "barbarian species", most people would not dare to touch it, let alone swallow it!
But the next second.
The response from Li Re made her feel a little relieved.
Li Re just turned around and looked at her, then -
Burped.
"I ate a little too much - I vomited some, don't mind." He responded casually.
"..."
A little silence,
Cheng Shiyu blinked her eyes, then suddenly curved her eyebrows and laughed! But she quickly stopped smiling and snorted, saying, "I thought you were possessed by the 'demon seed' - I was just about to help you wake up!"
"But you are really brave - you actually dare to 'plant the devil in your body'! You should know that the 'barbarians' come from the abyss in the extreme north of the central world. That is a forbidden place that all previous Skywalkers needed to personally explore when they took office!" The 'Little Sword Fairy' took two steps at a time and sniffed him with curiosity on his pretty face!
"A demon has taken possession of one's body... this is an apt description!" Li Re blinked and commented. He lowered his head and looked at Cheng Shiyu who was sniffing at him, grinning, "But it's probably impossible for the demon to take over one's mind... this thing can't do such a thing at all!"
"After all, I have no self-awareness, so how can it affect my consciousness?"
While talking.
A cluster of dark green flames suddenly appeared above Li Re's head.
What emerged from the flames was the towering bone tree that he had engulfed. At this moment, this "barbarian species" was also rooted in the "sea of life" stored in Li Re's spiritual consciousness and was very honest and motionless! However, compared with before, it seemed to be more prosperous, and the corpses hanging on it disappeared, replaced by clusters of surging fire!
Li Re could sense the situation of the 'barbarian' he had engulfed.
Just as he thought as he devoured it.
At this moment, after the bone tree fell into the ocean of life force that was gathered from the entire super power world, it quickly took root and sprouted, and quickly absorbed the life force to stabilize itself.
It failed to shake that ocean of vitality.
Naturally, it cannot shake Li Re himself.
But this also gave Li Re its power——
Not erosion.
Nor is it plunder.
But...
give life.
Yes, this strange and terrifying "bone tree" did not display any terrible abilities after gaining enough vitality. Instead, it appeared to be quite "divine"!
Li Re glanced at a swaying and blooming flower under his feet and wondered if this style of painting, where lotus flowers bloom at every step, was a bit incompatible with him as a player of the supernatural genre.
In a flash, the fire began to burn again.
It turned into a floating 'green fire'.
Sure enough...the supernatural is still the supernatural.
Even if the 'life' created,
Still can't avoid supernatural characteristics!
He grinned.
The little sword fairy looked up at the bone tree in the fire, then looked at Li Re, blinked and muttered: "You are really an outlier among the supernatural players!"
"You can actually 'plant a demon into your body' so easily and it seems like there's no effect at all - I've read in the sect's ancient books that there used to be a group of guys in the Mountain and Sea Realm who called themselves 'demon cultivators' who liked to go around looking for barbarians and plant demons into their bodies - but none of them died instantly after having the demons planted into their bodies! You're not as flexible as me!" She smacked her lips as she spoke. To be able to 'plant a demon into your body' so easily was indeed terrifying in her opinion!
Of course, scary doesn't mean she is scared.
And in this way, the "erosion" here can be completely removed very smoothly.
The corpses that were originally confined to the trees can now return to dust!
more importantly--
"The obstacles in front of us have disappeared. We can continue our journey smoothly, looking for people first and then the 'ghost'! We must complete the 'killing calamity' as soon as possible! When the time comes, I will take you back to my master's sect in this dungeon world - let you see the style of the number one sword sect in the core of the Mountain and Sea Realm!"
The little sword fairy exhaled softly, and her expression seemed quite relaxed under the dim light of the rising sun. She put her hands on her hips and said this. The ends of her neatly trimmed hair that aligned with her delicate eyebrows swayed gently in the wind. Her pair of bare white legs in long boots stepped on the soil, and the winding upward hem of her clothes swayed gently, revealing half of her roundness.
Li Re put away the green fire above his head and looked around the open space.
Then he suddenly thought of a question: "Can I find someone by passing it from here?"
"Of course!"
Cheng Shiyu looked at him strangely and said, "My master in this dungeon world is in this northern land. I also wandered around here when I was doing dungeon missions, so I remember clearly that there is a border town over there! It is one of the most prosperous cities in the north!"
"In other words, this isn't the real border, right?" Li Re asked a crucial question: "Then why are the border troops you mentioned here fighting against the 'barbarians', and why are the 'barbarians' who should appear at the border according to common sense appearing here?"
"Well... this is indeed a problem, but it's actually nothing!" The little sword fairy clapped his hands and said nonchalantly: "Although the monster barbarian species can't move, the barbarian buds it plants are often not instantly lethal - as long as you don't directly look at the corpse hanging on the barbarian bone tree. These non-lethal barbarian buds will also follow the dying host around, and eventually grow 'barbarian buds' wherever the host falls - and bring the 'barbarian species' that were originally in other places from underground!"
"The same thing happened here - but fortunately the border troops were able to arrive in time. It seems that they used their lives to slow down the spread of these barbarians, so the impact here did not expand to an uncontrollable level. What's more, we caught up!"
"Barbarian species are like this. Small barbarian buds that grow into bone trees will attract large barbarian bone trees. Large barbarian bone trees that grow to a certain size will also attract larger barbarian bone trees. Someone in my sect has speculated that these barbarian species may be a separate entity from the abyss!"
"Where is the 'Abyss'?" Li Re raised his eyebrows and asked again. He felt that this might be related to the underlying structure of this 'Mountain and Sea Realm' -
"Of course it's below!" The little sword fairy pointed at the bottom of his feet, and as if he felt that his answer was not quite appropriate, he added: "Below the central world, that is, below the netherworld! The bottom of the entire mountain and sea world copy!"
The girl clapped her hands and said, "But what you said reminds me - before we set off - we have to go back to the mountain temple where we stayed before!"
"What are you doing back?"
Li Re asked as he sorted out the information he had obtained.
"Of course I'm taking something!"
Cheng Shiyu responded as a matter of course and was about to go back.
"Oh, then you don't have to go back!"
Hearing this, Li Re waved his hand and said, "I've got what you're looking for!"
"Um--!?"
The little swordsman had just taken two steps back when he suddenly stopped and turned his head.
Li Re took out two pairs of pure white stockings, which were obviously the socks she had asked Li Re to take off in the temple just now.
Cheng Shiyu was slightly stunned.
Immediately, under the lush sunlight, the pretty face turned visibly red.
"How...how did you get it in your hand? And - where did you get it from?"
"Of course it was Ah Yue who took it... But that's not important. What's important is that since I helped you take it off before, let me help you put it on now! This is called having a beginning and an end! Let's find a place to sit first--"
"Who is Ah Yue? And how can this be considered a complete ending? Wait, stop... I can put on my clothes by myself! Don't hug me, I can walk by myself, don't touch me... Um——"
The noisy sounds gradually faded away in the warm sunshine.
The place seemed to have become quiet.
Everything seemed to have returned to its former peace.
The young grass pulled out from the soil sways in the wind, bringing with it tiny glimmers of light...
The next second, a buzzing sound was heard!
The high ground where the wild bone trees originally stood seemed to sink out of thin air - dark and deep cracks suddenly appeared on the edge of the land, and these cracks quickly expanded and linked after they appeared, as if they were woven into a huge network in the blink of an eye - sinking and sinking again, after a few loud bangs, accompanied by billowing dust and smoke.
A hole as dark as an abyss was exposed in broad daylight, and the edges of the hole were still covered with bony roots.
It seems to be connected to another world below.
It also seems to be connected to another larger and more majestic "bone tree"!
Chapter 214: Ghosts along the way, border town and strange funeral
In the end, Li Re failed to help the little sword fairy put his socks back on.
after all...
"I said I could wear it - why didn't you listen?"
As the midday sun baked on, the edges of the lush forests seemed to be coated with layers of fine golden phosphorus. The faint light penetrated the shade of the trees and fell on the grass. Under the mottled colors like flowing clouds, the girl sat on a rugged boulder and made a mumbling sound.
Her long hair was still combed into two strands and hung down from the back of her head, with the ends of the hair neatly aligned with her eyebrows. Her pretty face looked slightly red under the swaying hair.
The girl slid her delicate hands gently from her toes, pulling the soft silk to slowly press it against her delicate skin. Light and shadow seemed to fall on her fingertips, and as she moved slowly upwards, she outlined the beautiful curves of youth - and finally with a snap, the edge of the stockings gently tightened the tender flesh of her thighs, revealing a hint of beauty.
She exhaled softly, and looked at Li Re who was standing in front of her with a slightly dissatisfied look on her rosy face - she felt a little depressed when she saw the look in his eyes as he was looking at her thighs.
But not annoying.
After all, Li Re's eyes were not concealed - although they could not be called pure, they were always very "natural and generous".
"But that's no reason for you to tear my socks! If I didn't have a spare pair, I'd have to travel bare-legged from now on!"
Cheng Shiyu clapped her hands in response.
Li Re, who was also standing under the shade of the trees, withdrew his gaze from the stockings that were squeezing the girl's thighs and said with his hands spread out, "Who told you to resist so fiercely?"
"But I didn't ask you to help me put it on!" The little sword fairy glared.
Li Re pretended to be confused: "Then why did you ask me to help you take it off before?"
So Cheng Shiyu was speechless for a moment.
At the end, Li Re continued: "Besides, I think it's okay to wear socks with holes - or rather, socks with holes are better to some extent, with that kind of looming beauty - how about I help you take off your socks and pass the torn socks on?"
As he spoke, he even took out the pair of torn socks that the little sword fairy should have thrown on the roadside!
"Why are you still keeping..."
The little sword fairy muttered a few words, blushed and snorted, "Forget it, I won't talk to you about this anymore - you are thicker than the length of the Great Wall, you have no shame at all!"
"Then again, we've walked about ten miles, right?" She changed the subject with ease.
Li Re said "Oh", put away the torn socks in his hand and said, "That's about right."
"Then we should be almost at Border Town."
Cheng Shiyu jumped down from the boulder with a thud, her long hair like two ponytails swinging as she fell, the hem of the girl's light yellow robe fluttering, and her legs, wrapped tightly in white silk stockings, landed steadily on the ground.
She shook her sleeves and said, "Let's keep going."
"Again, we have to find people first. Ghosts will only appear where there are people!"
After hearing this, Li Re raised his head and looked at the sun rising higher and higher in the sky, thinking that it was indeed true. As a player of the supernatural, he naturally knew that not all dead creatures could be turned into "ghosts". Even the least dangerous ghosts needed a strong obsession as a support to maintain their consciousness - and people's obsessions were often stronger than those of ordinary creatures. It was common sense that one could only find ghosts by looking for people.
but.
Just when Cheng Shiyu stepped on the ground and was about to continue walking forward.
Suddenly, a gust of wind came from the front, blowing the leaves in the forest again. Listening to this familiar sound and looking at this familiar scene, the little sword fairy paused and widened his eyes slightly. The next second, he appeared next to Li Re and approached him! His body was tense and a little nervous!
"here we go again!"
Li Re dropped his hands and thought to himself that this scene was so familiar!
Sure enough, the next second, several strange and staggering figures appeared at the end of the forest... and a light mist appeared in the air!
