Chapter 117: The Thick-Faced Tree Spirit

Zhang Ming had already fallen asleep, but in the middle of the night, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

He suddenly woke up from the danger, opened his eyes instantly, and sat up from the bed, and saw a figure in the dormitory.

The figure looked short, like a child of seven or eight years old.

Zhang Ming hurriedly turned on the light, and the figure suddenly turned around and wanted to run. At this time, Zhang Ming also saw clearly that this was not a child at all, but a tree stump, like a piece of wood.

It was just two thick tree roots like short legs, and it was desperately running outside.

Looking at the stump, Zhang Ming opened his mouth in surprise. He thought that the stump had short legs and could run very slowly, so he got out of bed calmly, took two steps forward and blocked the door to prevent the stump from going out.

Then he looked at the stump carefully. It was just a piece of wood. The diameter of the wood was about three meters and nearly one meter high. There were some branches on the top, with dense young leaves, like hair, and it seemed to be parted in the middle.

Below were two thick roots, like two carrot legs. There were two thick and long branches on both sides of the stump, like hands.

After being blocked, this strange tree hurriedly took two steps back, and then three scars like tree knots suddenly appeared on the bark.

Then the smallest round tree stump moved and made a strange sound:

"You...you get out of my way!"

Zhang Ming was surprised again. This little tree stump looked like a human, but it could actually speak human language?

This was the first time he had seen such a thing. He stared at the tree stump and said, "You can speak human language? What are you?"

After asking this question, he was suddenly stunned, thinking that this tree had also become a spirit?

Tree spirit? Zhang Ming looked at the tree stump again. It seemed to be a locust tree.

So he was surprised and said, "Are you a locust tree spirit?"

The little tree stump seemed to be a little frightened and took two steps back, saying, "No, I'm not..."

"You are!" Zhang Ming stared at the tree stump and said, "Such a big tree was cut down, and you are not dead yet?"

The tree stump was furious when he heard this, and rushed towards Zhang Ming and said,

"How dare you say that, it's all your fault..."

As soon as it rushed up, Zhang Ming grabbed the branches and leaves above its head and lifted it up.

"Are you really the locust tree spirit? Tell me, what are you doing here?" Zhang Ming asked.

The tree spirit was suddenly frightened, and then said righteously:

"Of course I am here for revenge. It's all your fault. You destroyed my original body, and left me with only this soul."

Hearing this, Zhang Ming snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "You gathered ghosts to absorb their negative energy, and let the ghosts come out to harm people, and even killed an innocent boy. You deserved me to kill you!"

The locust tree spirit heard this and said, "Yes, I deserved it, so what?"

Zhang Ming was stunned and said, "Master, why are you so righteous? What else, what did you say happened?"

"Just because of this, you destroyed my original body?" The locust tree spirit looked at Zhang Ming angrily.

Zhang Ming was angry and asked, "What? You mean it's not that serious?"

Unexpectedly, the locust tree spirit said, "I just trapped some female ghosts and let them provide me with Yin Qi? I just killed someone? I just wanted to kill you? That's all, do you think it's that serious?"

Zhang Ming: "………………"

"I find you, a monster, so annoying. Do you still think you are right?" Zhang Ming asked.

The locust tree spirit said disdainfully, "What did I do wrong? You are wrong!"

Zhang Ming didn't know why the locust tree spirit was so righteous, but then he thought, after all, it is a monster. Talking to it? It's like playing the lute to a cow.

So he made a palm thunder gesture and said: "Forget it, a goblin is a goblin after all. I don't want to waste time talking to you. I'll just kill you completely!" He

just raised his hand, ready to use a palm thunder to kill this monster elf who had done everything wrong but still claimed that he was right.

But just as he raised his hand, he heard the locust tree spirit suddenly say: "Stop, I realize I was really wrong, you did the right thing."

"Ah?" Zhang Ming was stunned, he was a little confused about the situation, and said: "What do you mean?"

The locust tree spirit was lifted by him, and said impatiently: "Didn't you hear clearly? I said I knew I was wrong. I shouldn't have trapped the female ghosts and let them provide Yin energy for me to practice, I shouldn't have let the female ghosts come out to harm people against you, I shouldn't have killed people.

It's all my fault, I am guilty, I repent, I'm sorry to everyone and to society. If you are willing to give me a chance to be a fairy again, I must be a good fairy, so please give me this chance."

"Uh..." Zhang Ming opened his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He had never expected that the locust tree spirit would change its face so quickly. Wasn't it unreasonable before?

How come it suddenly understood the truth?

Seeing that Zhang Ming didn't say anything, the locust tree spirit said again: "Hey? My attitude is so correct, why don't you put your hands away?"

Zhang Ming put down the palm thunder hand technique and said: "You are really thick-skinned!"

"Tree bark must be thick!" The locust tree spirit was actually a little proud!

Zhang Ming still didn't want to let it go like this, after all, it was a monster that harmed people.

But he also had a lot of doubts. After thinking for a while, he said: "If you don't want the demon spirit to dissipate, it's okay. Answer me a few questions!"

"Sure, please!" The locust tree spirit was decisive!

Zhang Ming thought for a moment and said, "First of all, do you know what that blue brick passage is about?"

"Yes, it was an air-raid shelter built during the war several decades ago. At that time, I grew on top of the big hole inside, and slowly my roots grew into the hole." The locust tree spirit answered truthfully.

Zhang Ming asked again, "What's the matter with the demon-sealing stele at the entrance?"

"It's been there for many years. Many people who hid in the air-raid shelter died of hunger. Later, it was said that there was a lot of evil spirit inside, so an old monk carved a scripture on a stone slab and covered the entrance of the cave to suppress the evil spirit." The locust tree spirit said it in a serious manner.

Hearing this, Zhang Ming felt that it seemed to be okay, so he asked again, "Did you gather all those female ghosts?"

This time, the locust tree spirit thought about it and said, "Actually, it can't be said that way. I just took advantage of it."

Zhang Ming asked hurriedly, "What do you mean?"

"I have always had intelligence, but I only developed my primordial spirit more than ten years ago, so I can barely be considered a spirit. But I have never done anything bad, and I have been absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.

But about seven years ago, a middle-aged man discovered that I had spiritual energy, so he put a female ghost on me, wanting to use my spiritual energy to nourish this female ghost. But how could I be willing?

The middle-aged man later proposed many conditions, one of which was to help me gather ghosts for my Yin energy cultivation. And I helped him use his spiritual energy to nourish the female ghost."

Hearing the locust tree spirit say this, Zhang Ming also thought of who the female ghost was, that is, the pen fairy ghost.

"Then what?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Then, in the past seven years, he brought all eighty female ghosts to the air-raid shelter for me to absorb their Yin energy for cultivation. But I was very smart and rarely used my spiritual energy to nourish the female ghosts, hahaha..."
