Chapter 109: A Single Tree Makes a Forest

The vine vehicle worked very efficiently and soon brought the passengers to the only dry platform in the flooded area - this platform was made up of countless banyan tree branches, twisted and tangled together, like a small isolated island.

The little girl was lying on this small isolated island, with her hands spread out at her sides, like a lamb willing to sacrifice her soul and body, sacrificing herself devoutly.

A tender green sprout extended from the huge banyan tree and pierced into her bulging belly. Blood and tender green juice flowed out together and quickly flowed into the puddled ground through the gaps between the branches on the platform below.

Gradually, the mixed liquids flowed less and less, and the tender bud that pierced the little girl's belly seemed dissatisfied with such a small amount. It began to churn and stir in the wound on her belly, and blood slowly flowed out again.

Qi Gu signaled Miao Yue to cut off the tender sprout.

Miao Yue swung the blade and the tender bud broke off. She reached out and grabbed the tender bud on the little girl's belly, wondering whether she should pull it out.

But the little girl's first reaction was to reveal an extremely obsessed and fanatical expression. She ran to the edge of the platform, buried her head deeply in the water, and sucked in big gulps of the dirty water diluted by her own blood and banyan tree sap. He looked like he wished he could turn into a sponge and absorb all the water.

"Water sacrifice is the process of contributing one's body to the banyan tree as a container for its juice. Because there is banyan tree juice in the body, it is equivalent to a part of it becoming a banyan tree, so it will be eager for the water and soil in this waterlogged land that nurtured itself to grow up. This is why those semi-transformed villagers come back here again and again, taking away the water and soil here to drink." Qi Gu said.

"So, the culprit is this banyan tree?" Miao Yue drew out her knife, the blade was sharp and cold.

Qi Gu said without surprise: "Yes."

He had a vague guess after Bai Yu finished saying those words. After all, according to her description, the ghost controlling the water corpse had been in the cemetery more than ten years ago, and when she arrived three years ago, it was still there, and water sacrifices were carried out every day after that. With this calculation, the only possibility that this ghost could be a groundbound spirit was that it had difficulty moving.

If it is the former, with his cultivation reaching this level, he should be able to leave. After all, even a turtle would not be so patient as to stay there motionless for more than ten years.

Then Qi Gu thought of the poor growth of Juanjuan's crops and the fact that most of the villagers had abandoned their fields.

It was the ghost's deliberate suggestion, that is, it would be beneficial to it if the crops did not grow well or if no crops were planted.

With his mind opened up, Qi Gu naturally thought that this ghost might not be a ghost transformed from a human in the traditional sense, but a ghost transformed from some kind of plant, so it could not leave and could only stay there forever.

Crops are competitors to it, so almost no villagers in the village grow crops.

Because crops will absorb the nutrients that belong to them in the soil.

Thinking of this, and considering what the weasel had said about the banyan trees in this area growing together like a forest and growing lushly, Qi Gu knew that the banyan trees had well-developed root systems. If they were planted on the roadside, it wouldn't take long for the roots to break through the road and grow. Naturally, he understood why this ghost knew everything about Huaishui Village, because its roots were buried deep underground, spreading outward from the waterlogged areas, snatching nutrients from the crops, making the entire Huaishui Village full of its roots.

It is naturally everywhere.

When Qi Gu finished this guess, Miao Yue had already jumped high and chopped the largest branch of the banyan tree several times, but its branch was so thick that Miao Yue's knife could only leave almost invisible marks on it.

Phub Gesang's demon-subduing pestle is better, but it is still a drop in the bucket.

Lin Hanzhi silently took a few steps back, still moving the camera, trying to give the audience the best viewing experience.

As they attacked, the banyan tree seemed to be finally enraged and began to fight back. In an instant, the originally dark sky was gradually dyed blood red, and the water in the puddles began to roll and turn red. The area that looked like a banyan forest was actually just a single banyan tree, and between the branches and leaves, pale white fruits began to emerge.

The fruits squirmed and turned into water corpses, then fell into the water and surrounded the vine platform from all directions.

This scene is no different from the zombie siege.

[Brother Queen, why don’t you run or scream? ? ? 】

[He was even moving the camera, he really made me cry]

[Help! This scene is really going to become the material of my nightmare tonight]

[This is totally a horror movie]

[I don’t want to see a banyan tree in this life]

[Other banyan trees: What did we do wrong again? 】

[This tree looks difficult to cut down. Why don’t we ask Bald Qiang to borrow a saw? 】

[You upstairs, you still have the heart to think about Baldy Qiang in such a critical moment, how much money will I give you if you go to Boonie Bears?]

[If there was no Gugu in this game, I might have panicked, but with Gugu, I always feel very stable, and I can even make some jokes...]

[+1, I feel that Gugu will definitely help Huaishui Village see the light of day]

[Come on, Gugu!] 】

…

Apart from being able to spread pollution, these water corpses are not actually very powerful in combat, and Miao Yue can control them all by herself.

Miao Yue wanted to release the poisonous insect, but Pubgesang took the lead, making Buddhist hand seals and chanting long and confusing Sanskrit. As he chanted, the water corpses slowly stopped moving, as if they were under a spell of immobilization.

"A new skill? Did you learn it during this period?" Miao Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.

Pubugesang said: "Yes, you need to have a control skill when playing games. I don't have control when fighting ghosts, which is very inconvenient."

Actually... it was because every time he went on a mission with Miao Yue, the other party always used the lifespan of the insect to the extreme, and Pubugesang couldn't help but worry that it would affect the lifespan of the insect.

He knew that it was the most precious relic left by Miao Yue's mother.

That's why I suppressed my urge to play games and worked hard to improve myself.

The big and the small looked at each other, and their tacit understanding made them understand each other without saying more.
