The situation on the other side was not optimistic. Haolan did not expect that these two NPCs would suddenly become like this.
Not only that, countless vines suddenly emerged from the ground and tried to grab their feet.
"What's going on?"
He was startled and quickly pulled Huang Ya to an open space nearby, and immediately used his skills to burn the vines on the ground.
But that group of things seemed to have the ability to regenerate. After the top vine turned into ashes, the remaining part quickly regenerated and spread, constantly wriggling and crawling towards them.
The two NPCs not far away were also walking crookedly, but they suddenly stopped halfway.
The next second, they let out a roar, and the shoulder blades on their backs suddenly cracked, and two thick vines stretched out.
The man and woman who were alive just now have now turned into two shriveled skins floating in the wind. It looks so weird.
Compared to the vines on the ground, these vines that suddenly appeared were more sensitive and sturdy. They seemed to have self-awareness. They crawled quickly on the ground and rushed towards them.
The monsters disguised as humans now completely revealed their true colors.
Huang Ya and Hao Lan were completely stunned. When they reacted, Hao Lan quickly used his skills, but the monster had learned its lesson and directly used its human skin to resist.
A creepy "sizzling" sound suddenly filled the air, and a burning smell instantly spread, pungent and strong.
Amid the flames, a dark green vine was seen waving high in the air, about to fall towards them.
"Be careful!" Hao Lan exclaimed and immediately pushed Huang Ya away.
Huang Ya fell to the ground with a muffled groan, choked by the smoke and dust and tears streaming down her face: "Cough cough cough——"
She covered her nose and opened one eye with difficulty: "Haolan!? Are you okay?!"
Hao Lan glanced at his scraped arm and shouted, "It's okay! Be careful with the vines!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the dark green vines came back again, and the vines on the ground quickly wrapped around their ankles.
Huang Ya's face turned pale and she quickly reached out her hand to try to pull it off, but the seemingly slender stems and leaves carried a strength that should not be underestimated. With a little force, Huang Ya fell backwards and was actually dragged several meters.
Her exposed skin scraped against the ground, scratched by the rough stones, and the burning pain spread instantly. She gasped in a breath of cold air: "Hiss——"
Where on earth did these things come from!?
Hao Lan, who was standing next to him, was still struggling with the vines. He accidentally saw Huang Ya being entangled and immediately turned around to save her.
But because of this moment of negligence, his calves were directly entangled by the vines, which kept tightening like a poisonous snake.
Seeing this, Huang Ya didn't care about the pain. She slowed down her breathing, supported herself on the ground with her hands, frowned, and spoke slowly in a low voice:
"Space stops."
As soon as these words were spoken, a small area of air around them suddenly stagnated, and even the nearby vines stopped.
The monster originally rushed towards Huang Ya, but once it entered the range, its movement stopped.
Seeing this, Bai Jingmo looked thoughtful.
He moved his fingertips slightly, and a wisp of black gas instantly rushed towards Huang Ya. As expected, the black gas stopped after entering.
It seems to be an extremely domineering skill.
Huang Ya was dealing with the vines on her legs and did not notice the existence of the black gas at all. Although the whole process only took a few minutes, her face had turned pale, her body was staggering, and she looked like she was overdrawn.
After breaking free from the restraints, she immediately ran towards Hao Lan, but was immediately stopped by him: "Don't come over! Run first! I can break free myself!"
Haolan knew that it would be useless even if Huang Ya came in his situation, so it would be better for him to run away early.
Just as Huang Ya was hesitating, a stream of black air suddenly rushed out of the thick fog. Before they could react, the thick vines had been cut off, and the ones that fell to the ground were still wriggling, like the tentacles of an octopus.
I saw a slender figure slowly walking out of the black fog. Under the sunlight at dusk, the man's facial features were as deep and rich as ink, with a high nose bridge and three-dimensional brow bones. Half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and his slender fingertips held the golden mask, with the gold thread outlining a delicate luster.
Hao Lan was stunned, and immediately got up: "Bai Jingmo?"
The man just glanced at them, and gathered a thick black mist in his hand, surrounding the vines.
With a "bang", the thick vines were instantly crushed into small pieces.
Huang Ya covered her arm and looked at Hao Lan, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
The referee...is this helping them?
After dealing with the vines, the man withdrew his hand and glanced across their faces: "Now follow me."
"Where are you going?"
"Clear."
…
On the other side, in the deepest part of the forest, a woman's furious voice was heard from a dense tree.
"Bo Jingmo!! You actually saved those two people!!"
Feeling that two more of the vines he had released had died, the demon ghost was so angry that smoke came out of the treetop. 11 was broken by that woman, and now, Bai Jingmo had killed its other two "children"! !
Originally, it planned to capture the two guests to supplement nutrition and rebuild a new body for 11.
Now it’s all gone!
Looking at the man lying beside him, the demon ghost felt extremely distressed.
Oh, and the heart.
Nothing must happen to your heart!
It stretched out its vines, trying to tear the man's broken body apart.
But just as it was torn a little, a voice suddenly came from under the tree.
"There are vines wrapped around the trunk. This should be the tree, right?"
The demon ghost paused and looked, only to see a man and a woman standing under the tree.
It slowly narrowed its eyes and suddenly let out a sneer.
Oh, you came just in time.
Jiang Xi and Hou Liang walked to the tree together. Looking at the vines on the trunk, she slowly frowned.
She felt that this vine looked familiar. Could it be that she had seen it somewhere before?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Hou Liang's stuttering voice.
"Um, Xixi..."
The boy's face flushed with nervousness. He rubbed the back of his head uncomfortably and said dryly, "Is this where we complete the mission? Do we really have to kiss?"
Jiang Xi paused, actually still hesitant. Is this really how the task is completed?
But it doesn’t seem to hurt to give it a try…right?
Jiang Xi put down her hands and met the boy's bright eyes. Her face inevitably blushed and her lips were slightly pursed.
"Then... let's give it a try."
