Chapter 37 Dryad
The branches of the big willow tree danced wildly, as if they were stiff with pain.
The sword in Gu Shihan's hand, carrying a trace of red lotus fire, pierced straight into the ninth eye on the trunk of the big willow tree. He stirred it and then pulled it out. The red lotus fire quickly entangled the big willow tree.
Gu Shihan did not stop attacking and chopped the swinging willow branches to the ground.
Star White waved his little paw quickly, and a fireball charm hit the branches on the ground, leaving them no chance to return to the willow tree.
"Hanhan, look, there is blood flowing out, it is dark green, collect it quickly, it will be of great use."
"Will it work?!" Gu Shihan was half-believing and half-doubting. He raised his hand and took a large branch into his hand. A fresh and refreshing breath blew towards him.
"Breath of life?! It's really a good thing!" Gu Shihan no longer hesitated and quickly chopped at the thicker branches. Xingbai shuttled through them and quickly collected them.
The man and the fox were so busy that they forgot for a moment that this was the Haunted Forest full of dangers.
After working for almost half an hour, most of the branches of the big willow tree were cut off, and the red lotus fire burned countless holes in the big willow tree.
Gu Shihan looked over and saw that the holes were the green eyes of the big willow tree. There was a green round bead in the ninth hole.
"Hanhan, we're rich, we got the Wood Spirit Bead!" Xingbai grabbed with his little claws, and the green bead was in his claws.
The big willow tree trembled, and then fell down with a loud bang. At the roots of the tree there were hundreds of storage magic weapons, such as storage bags, storage bracelets, storage rings, etc., as well as several magic tools, but they were all dim.
Further down are piles of bones. These people were harmed by the big willow tree and died silently.
After the man and the fox had cleaned up, they looked around. It looked a little different. The big willow tree was gone, and the area nearby was bare without any grass.
"Hanhan, look, those five people seem to be in trouble!" Xingbai's voice came over.
Gu Shihan swept his spiritual sense over and saw five people in the distance throwing talismans. One of them's fire-based magic was still somewhat useful, but he looked exhausted and probably wouldn't be able to hold on for many more breaths.
The black fog seemed to sense the opponent's weakness and suddenly swelled up, quickly enveloping the five people...
Gu Shihan didn't care too much and waved the flame in his hand. A few shrill sounds were heard and the black fog was quickly split apart, as if it wanted to escape with the spoils.
How can this be possible? We can't let them escape!
"Xingbai, use talismans to stop them!" Gu Shihan shouted, put away his sword, and the flame in his hand split into five strands, covering the black fog in five directions.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths, the black fog faded, several people fell to the ground, only one person was still conscious.
Xingbai waved his little paw, and the dark green liquid he had just collected from the big willow tree entered their mouths, one drop for each person.
"Thank you!" The male cultivator who was still conscious glanced at Gu Shihan and the little fox, then fainted with relief.
Gu Shihan did not stay for long. He sent the five people into the Qiankun House, picked up the seven Tianyou Pearls, turned around and left.
"Hanhan, there are eight people in the Qiankun room. I remember thirteen people were brought in, which means there are still five people whose lives or deaths are unknown."
"Yes! Keep going!"
The man and the fox walked about a mile and met five people. They looked fine except that their faces were a little pale.
"Fellow Daoist, were you also brought in by the ghost fire? Has anyone else seen it?" A female cultivator at the peak of the late foundation building stage looked at Gu Shihan and asked.
"They are all still alive. I accidentally entered the Ghost Forest during my training." Gu Shihan saluted with a fist.
The five people's faces changed, and then they immediately returned to normal. The man said, "Daoyou, do you have a magic weapon that can restrain the ghost fog?"
A cold light flashed in Gu Shihan's eyes, and he distanced himself from them without leaving a trace.
“Haha, my junior brother can’t talk, what he meant is that we are alive because one of us has a lightning spirit root and the other has a skyfire spirit root.
You are safe and sound by yourself, so you must have something to protect yourself. Daoist friend, we have no ill intentions! In this Ghost Crying Forest, we can only rely on each other, and only by surviving the nine days and nine nights of the Ghost Crying Forest on the dark side can we win! "said the female cultivator.
Gu Shihan's expression relaxed, and he waved his hand to release the Wood Flame, "I have it!"
“Strange Fire?!” A flash of surprise flashed across the faces of several people, and the female cultivator said, “Hello, I am Song Huifang from the Golden Lotus Peak of the Wuhua Sect, and these few are my junior brothers.”
"Are you from Wuhua Sect?! Gu Shihan, a disciple of Danjian Peak of Wuhua Sect!" Gu Shihan thought about it and gave his name truthfully.
"Ah! You are Master Uncle Gu?!" female cultivator Song Huifang said in surprise.
"Uncle-master, why did you come to Ghost Forest?" asked the male disciple Ling Hai.
"I didn't know about the Ghost Weeping Forest. I was resting in a cave at night and saw a group of people followed by a ghost fire. I followed behind and wanted to rescue them, but for some reason, I couldn't get close. Later I learned that this was the legendary Ghost Weeping Forest. How much do you know about the Ghost Weeping Forest?" Gu Shihan said half-truthfully.
"Uncle Junior Master, the Ghost Weeping Forest is divided into the Yin and Yang sides. The Yang side of the Ghost Weeping Forest is not dangerous, but the Yin side is dangerous. Do you see that? Those flowers, plants, and trees in the Yin side of the Ghost Weeping Forest are all plant puppets.
It is said that this thing has intelligence, and it does have some combat power. As long as their light is not extinguished, everything will be fine.
When their light is extinguished, they will turn into visible or invisible ghosts and ghosts, sucking all flesh and blood dry." Song Huifang whispered.
"So that's it!" Gu Shihan understood in his heart that those ghosts and spirits turned out to be plant puppets.
"Uncle Junior Master, it is said that there is a mountain called Liangjie in the spirit world, where the human world and the ghost world are connected. All the resentful souls and wronged souls that cannot enter reincarnation will turn into a plant on Liangjie Mountain. They will instinctively devour living things. If they devour too many living things, they will develop spiritual wisdom and eventually become a devourer.
ghost.
The Devouring Ghosts have intelligence, they will control the plants and trees to become plant puppets, so that they can provide nutrients for their growth." Lu Yundi also told what he had heard.
"So the plant puppets are not scary, what's scary is the ghost behind the plant puppets?! Is this Ghost Weeping Forest somehow related to the Two Worlds Mountain?" Gu Shihan asked.
"I don't know about that. It's just that the Ghost Weeping Forest has not expanded outward, and we cultivators need the Tianyou Pearl, so...so the Ghost Weeping Forest is necessary for it to exist!" Ling Hai sighed.
"I understand what you mean. As long as we don't encounter any ghosts, we'll be fine, right?" Gu Shihan saw that everyone was not in good spirits, so he took out some spiritual food and spiritual wine and distributed them to a few people.
"Thank you!" Song Huifang and the others did not act pretentiously. They were all ascetics and carried fasting pills with them. Fasting pills could only fill the stomach but could not restore spiritual power.
Besides, it is not suitable to meditate and absorb spiritual energy to recover in this Ghost Forest. After all, the yin energy here is too strong.
