Chapter 56: Tree Gao Girls’ High School 16
Although this strange tree was excited before, it did not target them. Now it was suddenly enraged and went crazy, and its crown as big as a tumor suddenly grew several times larger.
Zhu Ling's pupils dilated in amazement, unable to believe what she saw.
"Its leaves ..."
There was not a single gap between its leaves. Originally, they were standing high up and the light was dim around them, so they thought that the branches and leaves had grown too lush. Now, the enlarged crown was brought to their front, and the dark moonlight clearly illuminated the blood vessels of the branches stuck together. The so-called berry-colored leaves were nothing more than lumps of flesh densely distributed in the middle, which were now flexibly swaying in front of everyone.
Thinking of the leisurely scene of the breeze blowing the leaves, Jiang Yuelu felt a chill as he realized that it was actually these pieces of meat bouncing.
This is not a tree branch or crown, it is clearly a skinned human head!
“Don’t just stand there!” Jiang Yuelu pulled Zhu Ling, who was standing there in a daze, to the back, and the piece of ground was instantly shattered by the expanding soft branches.
"I am a human being, a human being!"
The strange tree went mad and howled like ghosts.
"No wonder..." Jiang Yuelu whispered.
No wonder it calls itself a library, but it doesn't look like a book review, and it adds a lot of personal opinions. No wonder its appearance is nothing like the surrounding trees, and it can flexibly change its height, just like a person stretching his head and retracting it.
It turns out that they are not plants, but members of the same species.
Zhu Ling murmured, "How on earth did he survive..."
"Survived?"
After suppressing his anger, he sounded even angrier. "You weirdos, pests, liars, how dare you say such things in front of me? Go to hell!"
"Zhu Ling——!"
The wildly twisted branches were about to hit the girl again. This time, Jiang Yuelu's whip was not long enough to reach her, and she was about to be knocked to the ground. Suddenly, a tall shadow appeared and stood in front of her. She was hit by the whip and fell to her knees, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Zhu Ling rushed towards her: "Lihua...Lihua!"
Lihua tried her best to smile and comfort her, "It's okay... I'm fine... Aling, don't be afraid."
Zhu Ling burst into tears. She was so scared. She had never seen such a thing in the girls’ high school!
After witnessing it with her own eyes, she realized that the difficulties set in the exam were nothing, and facing the darkness and fear in her heart in the psychological test was nothing. She had never experienced a real attack.
Teacher Lu Yue was right, they were protected too well. Thinking of this, Zhu Ling raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at the teacher, and saw her calmly standing in front of her.
Jiang Yuelu said, "Don't cry, take her away quickly, Wenhan, go help her."
Leng Wenhan did not act immediately, but looked at him worriedly.
Jiang Yuelu gestured to her to be at ease, "I'm fine, he won't hurt me."
"oh?"
That weird tree, no, that weird person moved his head towards him and looked him up and down. "You are not a student, nor are you from here... Hehe, is that why you are talking nonsense?"
Jiang Yuelu looked at him calmly, not caring about the blood lipid vines surrounding his face with eager eyes.
"You seem to hate the girls' high school students so much that every move you make is deadly."
The tumor said grimly, "They deserve it! They should have been punished long ago--!!!"
"Then why didn't you kill Xiaochun?"
The tumor was silent, panting, the raised nodes on its surface rising and falling, listening to Jiang Yuelu's almost self-talking, "Little Chuntian is so innocent, she treats you as a signpost, and has passed by you so many times, don't you ever want to beat her to death like you beat Zhu Ling to death?"
“Because it’s too far away.”
The light words rumbled down like a huge rock, and the tumor swelled up visually. The airflow released by the puncture swept all around, releasing his hatred all over the place, "...Shut up."
Jiang Yuelu spoke faster, "Because she is not like Zhu Ling who can stand in front of you. Instead, she took a look from a distance to confirm and then left - she was so far away that you couldn't touch her at all."
"Stop talking--!!!" he roared.
He stretched his neck and tried his best to throw himself out. He accepted the consequences of hurting the enemy by 1,000 and himself by 800. This was the first time in so many years that he could kill a girl's high school alien with his own hands. Even if he died, he was happy with it...
“Ahhhhh—”
Leng Wenhan was shocked and said, "Jiang Yuelu!"
But the huge tumorous face stopped just three inches in front of his nose. Even if his body was about to pull out of the soil, he still couldn't touch Jiang Yuelu at all.
Just like facing Koharu.
Just like watching them walk past him with pride for so many years, he couldn't move, he couldn't do anything.
Jiang Yuelu looked down at him, "Just like now, I hate the heavens and the earth, but I can do nothing."
"Hahaha……"
The tree man suddenly laughed, and red juice flowed from his eye sockets.
"You are right that I am powerless. Isn't it true that you, the aliens who call yourself human, are the best at torturing us? But don't forget that over the past ten years, I have not just stayed here and grown up quietly..."
"——Don't really treat me as a tree!"
"We have finally come across this opportunity... Today... you will all... die here." As the words fell, the snow beneath their feet began to shake slowly, and the black and white Zala Ma changed its vertical stillness and began to sway ominously.
Leng Wenhan was alert: "He is removing the seal."
The black and white Zalama was placed here to seal the head of the tree man. Jiang Yuelu was sure that he couldn't come here because he saw this. But after ten years, it's hard to say whether the spell is still as powerful as it was back then. Moreover, they can't take risks now.
Jiang Yuelu made a prompt decision, "Let's go."
Zhu Ling supported Lihua and staggered forward. Jiang Yuelu also wanted to catch up, but he was too close. The frozen ground under his feet was already cracked, and the tree man's voice sounded even more sinister.
"My head can't get through, but my roots can... they are more flexible than my arms and legs."
"These bastards! When they planted me here...did they ever think that one day I would be killed by the thing I planted?"
"To treat a person's head as a library, and his memory as books to be read... This cruel trick is really something that only bastards like you can come up with. Today I will return it to you all——"
Cracks spread across the ground at a terrifying speed. Leng Wenhan's white pupils opened, searching for a way to help Jiang Yuelu in the snow and ice.
Zhu Ling turned her head and saw the teacher's figure hidden by the layers of vines. She seemed to be buried inside and unable to move. There was no intact soil under her feet. A rapidly sinking black hole was opening its mouth wide, waiting for her to fall.
Her eyes were red, "Teacher Lu Yue!"
“Tsk.”
A bright red flash suddenly appeared in the raging wind and frost. This scene seemed to have appeared in Iron Town. Jiang Yuelu felt an extra hand on her waist, and her back was pressed tightly against another person's chest. When he spoke, she seemed to resonate with the low voice behind her.
I can sense his joys and sorrows, and know that he is quite unhappy at the moment.
"I was only gone for a while, teacher."
Xia Yi arrived.
-
That night, they rushed back to the girls' high school.
The tree man was furious at the women who were moving further and further away, and his roars echoed throughout the snow forest.
Jiang Yuelu watched from afar and thought: "It seems that the power of black and white Zala Ma has not weakened."
The confinement array that had lasted for ten years seemed to have quickly discovered the prisoners' attempt to break out from underground, and the intensity of the confinement was also increased. The roar echoing in his ears might have come from his unwillingness to let the enemy go, or perhaps it was because he had received a more severe punishment and screamed in pain.
Zhu Ling was terrified, "This is too cruel, what did he do wrong?"
The punishment for the girls' high school students was just to take them to the Moon Altar for confinement...
Jiang Yuelu glanced at her and said, "Cruel?"
"In this situation just now, it was either you or me. If you say it's pitiful, then what's the point of you escaping with so much difficulty?"
Zhu Ling opened her mouth and said, "...That's not what I meant."
Jiang Yuelu said: "I don't blame you either."
"The Girls' High School is protected by the Five Colors of Zala Ma, so you can study and grow with peace of mind, but the Snow Forest is another world. There are enemies here that even Zala Ma can't stop. You must grow as quickly as possible to protect the people around you."
Zhu Ling nodded, and Lihua seemed to be thinking about something.
But Zhu Ling couldn't help but say, "After graduating from the girls' high school, we will go to various villages. Although the conditions there are difficult, there are still five-colored auspicious lights. Things like tonight... shouldn't happen again."
Jiang Yuelu said: "That would be the best. I hope I am just overthinking it."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask Xia Yi: "...Can you let me down?"
The situation was critical just now, so it was reasonable to pick him up, but he had been trudging in the snow for so long and was out of danger long ago, but he still held himself with one hand...
Xia Yi didn't say anything.
Just by looking at his chin, you can tell that his face looks very sour.
Jiang Yuelu thought for a moment and asked, "Is there no progress on Yuehe's side?"
"no."
"…Are you injured?"
"No."
"Then..." Jiang Yuelu glanced at the wolf cubs panting in front of him, "Did they provoke you?"
"snort."
One word can have a great deterrent effect. The wolf cub howled at the moon and ran even harder.
Jiang Yuelu really couldn't think of anything, "Then why are you unhappy?"
It would be fine if you didn't ask, but once you asked, you exploded, "Then why do you take care of them?"
Jiang Yuelu was confused: "...Ah?"
"One, two, three." Xia Yi counted them all for him, and became more and more furious as he spoke. "In order to protect them, you almost lost your life!"
Jiang Yuelu: "But they are my students."
"I am also your student."
Xia Yi suddenly lowered his voice, "I am no different from them, right? You will not stand by and watch someone die. You always treat everyone equally. You will treat everyone well, take care of him, and care about him."
He felt more and more aggrieved. "You are my only teacher, but you have so many students——"
"That's not fair at all!"
Jiang Yuelu was completely stunned: "..."
If it was just a suspicion before, now it is certain that Xia Yi misunderstood their relationship. He also heard some of the rumors in the girls' high school, which were very outrageous. As someone who knew the whole story, he was fine with it, but it was different for Xia Yi who had lost his memory.
He also thought at the time that the worst outcome would be that Xia Yi believed it, so he had to pull the relationship between the two back on track before Xia Yi became convinced.
...It looks like he has completely believed it!
He resisted the urge to curse and tried to explain patiently: "Xia Yi, there is nothing wrong between us. The past is not what you think. Don't take it seriously."
Xia Yi: “…”
Why do you look even more aggrieved?
Jiang Yuelu swore that he had never seen such a difficult child. Besides, those naughty children were either naughty and playful, or willful and bad-tempered. At most, they were undisciplined like Fu Mengru. Who would want to fall in love with him?
He opened his mouth several times, but found that nothing he said was effective, so he finally said tiredly, "Forget it, I'll tell you when you remember."
This sentence seemed to seal Xia Yi's mouth. He never looked at Jiang Yuelu again, nor said a word. When he arrived at the girls' high school, he got off the sled straight away and walked into the school without looking back, which made Jiang Yuelu laugh and cry.
Zhu Ling was confused, "…what happened to her?"
Jiang Yuelu said seriously: "It's nothing. Go back and have a good rest. It will be a tough battle starting tomorrow."
The next day, the midterm exam slowly began.
As the sun rose, the morning bell of the girls' high school rang, and ten people heard the system prompt that had been silent for a long time.
[The first test of Shuren Girls' High School is coming soon. All candidates are requested to prepare well, complete the four test contents, and reach the standard score stipulated by the Girls' High School]
[At the same time, remind the candidate Jiang Yuelu]
[Your exam is different from the other nine students. You must tutor the three classes of students you are in and make all thirty-four of them pass the four exams to be considered a success.]
【Good luck! 】
