This was their territory, and Xiaoman felt extremely uneasy. She kept a close eye on her surroundings and kept glancing at her feet out of the corner of her eye.
The dead tree drew closer, unleashing its dense roots that spread wildly in all directions.
The Bloodthirsty Sword slashed horizontally, shattering a large area of roots.
They ignored the danger and sent out more roots, quickly blocking the surrounding area.
"How can I break through?" His mind raced, searching for any opportunity, but he couldn't find one, so he could only fight and retreat.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of weightlessness beneath my feet.
He quickly leaped up, using his longsword to gain leverage on the ground, and returned to the ground.
In that short time, the experts from the Withered Ones and the Rotten Tribe rushed in and quickly dispersed.
"It's over!"
Despair flashed in Xiaoman's eyes. She sheathed her longsword, gripped the Bloodthirsty Sword tightly, and looked around. "Those who want to kill me, come at me!"
Boundless killing intent soared to the sky.
The weak, withered tree dared not approach.
The people of the Rotten Tribe also looked at their chieftain.
After nodding emphatically, everyone rushed forward.
They were clever; using the massive trunk of the dead tree as cover, they quickly rushed to the fifty-meter mark.
Xiaoman unleashed a continuous barrage of sword strikes, and enemies fell one after another.
"Let's see how much power you have?" The withered one's eyes flashed with deep hatred as he commanded the withered tree to attack.
As time went by, the area was filled with corpses.
Xiaoman let her arms hang limply, stars flashing before her eyes. "These damned things, no matter how I kill them, they just won't retreat."
Looking up, I saw the scarlet sun on the horizon, and a crazy idea popped into my head.
He quickly pulled two high-explosive incendiary bombs from the space bag.
One in each hand, they threw at the corpses.
The corpses of rotting tribes are not easy to ignite, but the remains of dead trees are very easy to ignite.
The fire roared and spread extremely quickly.
They were alien beings, terrified of righteous energy and the power of fire, and screamed as they were burned.
With a sense of relief, he pulled out the Vermilion Bird Token and smiled wryly, "If I had known this would force them to retreat, I should have used you much earlier."
The high-pitched bird calls shook the mind and spirit.
A giant Vermilion Bird soared into the sky, instantly igniting a nearby withered tree, flames shooting high into the air.
"Ah, you destroyed my foundation! I'll skin you alive!" The withered one was extremely angry and charged at Xiaoman without regard for anything else.
He sneered, "You think I'll fight you just because you come here? What a big mouth you have!"
"you?"
The withered one was so angry that he suffered a sudden internal injury, compounded by the suppression of the flames.
His breathing became very unstable.
A flicker of hesitation crossed the eyes of the rotten tribe chief as he looked at his confidant.
A look of indecision crossed the eyes of his trusted confidant.
A few seconds later, the confidant nodded emphatically to the clan leader.
He nodded to his people again.
The panicked tribesmen quickly regained their composure and rushed toward the withered one.
"Are you trying to kick me when I'm down?" the withered man asked, annoyed.
"You talk like you're so noble." The confidant's eyes were full of contempt. "Use your dog brain and think about how many of our clansmen you've devoured to reach your current level of cultivation?"
"Why waste words with him? Kill him and avenge our people."
A massive horde of rotting tribesmen surged forward, attacking indiscriminately.
The Rotting Ones are only half as strong as they were at their peak. They can barely even dodge, let alone kill them.
"I'll help you suppress him, go all out," Xiaoman said, gesturing as she spoke.
The clan chief's eyes were complicated. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded emphatically.
The Vermilion Bird turned and hovered above the withered creature's head, its extremely high temperature causing it to smoke and emit a foul stench.
"Are you really going to force me?" he said fiercely.
Xiaoman sensed that his aura had become strange and immediately stepped back.
Suddenly, spiderweb-like vines surged outwards, covering a width of about two hundred meters.
Boom!
ah......
After the screams, one-fifth of the Rotting Tribe were wiped out.
"Kill him! Kill him!" The clan leader went completely berserk and charged ahead.
The bone knife continued to slash, and the vines snapped one after another.
The tribesmen followed suit, continuing to slash and soon cut half of the vines off.
The withered one was very weak and retreated continuously.
"Now is the time," Xiaoman reminded them.
The clan chief, with a stern face, sped up.
Sizzle!
A sharp blade of light struck the withered one, causing its aura to weaken once more.
"If I can't live, none of you can live either."
An extremely violent aura of decay surged in all directions. Those members of the rotting tribe who inhaled the aura were frozen in place, their bodies constantly drying up and collapsing.
The clan leader's heart was bleeding, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
Fortunately, the two elders risked their lives to protect him, preventing him from inhaling the withered aura.
"Chieftain, we can no longer accompany you in your battles!"
Their bodies exploded.
"Ah!" The clan leader's eyes turned blood red, and an aura that did not belong to him surged into the sky.
Xiaoman was startled and quickly withdrew the Vermilion Bird Token, fleeing deeper into the area.
A deep fear flashed in the withered man's eyes. He wanted to escape, but found himself completely unable to move. "No, no, let's talk, let's talk!"
"Talk to your mother!"
A vibrant green flame ignited on the bone knife, and it slashed down on the neck of the withered creature.
The dog's head rolled off, and its body collapsed.
The emerald green flames were flung onto it, and a raging inferno immediately shot into the sky.
"Fellow tribesmen, the chieftain has avenged you! He has avenged you!"
As he choked back tears, the emerald green flames backfired, setting him ablaze as well.
The clan chief, however, smiled with relief...
On the other side.
Xiaoman ran wildly until she finally found a relatively safe place. She quickly made a 'boat' and lay down on it, panting heavily.
"This planet is too eerie, thank goodness I ran fast!"
He struggled to sit up, swallowed two recovery pills, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes...
It's unclear how much time passed before Xiaoman slowly opened her eyes.
Just then, he saw thick smoke billowing in the sky directly ahead and exclaimed, "The fire is almost over; we must leave immediately!"
Put away the 'boat' and run due north.
Along the way, you can see twisted, withered trees and blackened bones every now and then...
"Just how big is this forest?" Xiaoman hadn't kept track of the time, but she estimated that she had been running for more than two hours.
Once they were sure the fire wasn't chasing them, they quickly stopped to rest.
After this happened repeatedly, Xiaoman became somewhat numb to it.
Finally, after an hour, the view ahead turned into mountains, and I was immediately excited, so I sped up and rushed forward.
"Finally escaped the damned Withered Forest."
He was bent over, panting heavily.
call!
A strange sound came from a great distance, startling Xiaoman, who quickly looked over.
There was nothing ahead except the mountains.
"It might be caused by the wind."
Several minutes later, the strange noises rang out again, one loud and one soft.
This time I heard it clearly; it was definitely not a sound caused by the wind, but by a living being.
Images of withered people and rotting tribes flashed before my eyes, sending shivers down my spine.
Unleash your senses.
"What a strange creature. My senses can't even detect what it is." He frowned slightly and moved cautiously toward it.
As the distance closed, two clumps of grass-like things came into view.
“They are definitely not grass.”
He then unleashed a sword beam, causing the two clumps of grass to separate and tumble to either side.
"What on earth is this thing?" Memories flooded back, finally settling on a comic book I'd seen as a child: "Grass, a grass demon?"
The two clumps of grass are 80% similar to the grass spirits described in the comics.
The clump of grass on the left moved forward a little, making strange noises: "Chirp, gurgle!"
Xiaoman frowned, gripping the Bloodthirsty Sword with all her might, ready to unleash her full power at the slightest sign of threat.
The clump of grass on the right moved forward two steps.
"Yo, chirp, chirp."
Although I couldn't understand it, I could tell it was very excited.
Xiaoman tried to keep her voice calm, "You won't hurt me, right?"
The two clumps of grass looked somewhat bewildered.
After a long while, the clump of grass on the left moved, as if a person were nodding.
"Hiss!" A look of wariness flashed in Xiaoman's eyes, and she took a step forward without flinching.
I mustered up my courage and took two more steps, but it still didn't move.
I secretly released some internal energy to test it, but it only swayed slightly and remained standing in the same place.
Xiaoman was finally able to confirm that they really meant no harm.
He slowly approached, stretched out his right hand, and touched the grass.
"whee!"
"Holy crap!" Xiaoman recoiled in fright. "It was clearly the voice of a baby! This, this?"
Before you can figure it out, the grass is already rubbing against your calves.
A feeling of physical and mental well-being spread throughout my body.
Xiaoman completely let down her guard, touched the grass, and a smile gradually spread across her face.
Suddenly, his other foot was also scalded.
"These two little cuties are making me so itchy, hehe..."
After laughing, I felt relaxed and everything seemed pleasing to the eye. My childlike heart was rekindled, and I touched them, asking, "Little guys, what are your names?"
The two clumps of grass shook their heads.
"You're quite strong, so from now on we'll call you Big Green!"
It paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
"Your name will be Little Green!"
It got even more excited and pounced into Xiaoman's arms, nuzzling her repeatedly, like a child being affectionate.
Xiaoman was thoroughly amused.
Only after the pleasure subsided did he remember his purpose here. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he raised his right hand, intending to kill them.
Evil thought: They are heretics, they deserve to be killed!
Compassion: Other creatures are also living beings. They haven't bothered you, so why kill them?
There was a fierce internal struggle.
Big Green sensed the murderous intent and quickly retreated to Little Green's side, standing in front of her. "If you want to kill someone, kill me. Don't hurt my sister."
Xiaoman couldn't understand its words at all, but she could sense that it wanted to protect Xiaolü.
Kindness completely triumphed over evil.
Concealing all his aura, he said very gently, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Big Green tentatively moved forward, but used its body to protect its younger sister.
He stood in front of Xiaoman.
Xiaoman slowly reached out and touched it.
Big Green sensed the kindness, its body trembled, and it cried out incoherently.
"Are you feeling sad?" Xiaoman frowned.
Little Green also started yelling and would turn to the northwest every now and then.
"What message are you trying to send me?" Xiaoman frowned slightly.
A few seconds later, Big Green shut its mouth, banged its calves hard, and pointed northwest, whimpering.
Others might not have understood, but Xiaoman possessed a photographic memory. She immediately found similar body language in her memory and asked, "You want me to go to the northwest to save people?"
Big Green and Little Green were overjoyed and nodded vigorously...
