The little beggar seemed to sense Yan Feipeng's strange emotional fluctuation and was about to turn around to look.
But at this moment, Xiang Sheng suddenly spoke again: "Little brother, can you take us to the ancient well to check it out?"
As soon as these words came out, the little beggar's gaze immediately returned to Xiang Sheng, and he nodded repeatedly: "I'll take you there right away!"
As he said that, the little beggar ran out of the dilapidated temple first.
Xiang Sheng glanced back at Lin and Yan and smiled slightly: "Why don't you two go take a look together?"
"OK."
Lin Qi didn't notice anything unusual and agreed happily. Just as he was about to follow Xiang Sheng, he saw that his senior brother next to him was pale and had cold sweat on his forehead, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
Lin Qi's expression changed slightly, "Brother, you..."
"I'm fine!"
Yan Feipeng quickly interrupted his junior brother and managed to regain his composure, "Let's hurry up and catch up."
After saying that, Yan Feipeng didn't wait for his junior fellow disciple to explain. He grabbed Lin Qi's hand and quickly left the ruined temple. He didn't slow down until he was behind Xiang Sheng.
Lin Qi was confused watching from the side. What happened to his senior brother?
Yan Feipeng's mind was also a mess at this moment.
This Daoist Fellow Shen stopped Lin Qi from contacting the scholar, and pointed out the strangeness of the little beggar with words. It was obvious that he had discovered the danger long before and secretly warned him.
But since he sensed the danger, why didn't Fellow Daoist Shen just leave here with them, but instead went to the ancient well that the little beggar deliberately mentioned?
Yan Feipeng couldn't figure it out, but the intuition he had developed from years of traveling told him that staying with Fellow Daoist Shen might be safer than leaving directly with his junior brother.
The little beggar trotted all the way, and the group soon arrived at the street where the ancient well was.
It seemed that because of the rumor that the ancient well was haunted, the streets were empty and deserted.
Lin Qi looked around and saw only a locust tree rooted at the street corner. He couldn't help but wonder, "Little brother, where is the dry well you mentioned?"
"It's right under the tree."
The little beggar pointed at the locust tree.
The locust tree is very old, with eight main branches extending from the roots. The longest branches have already hung down to the ground, casting a huge shadow.
Lin Qi looked carefully and found an inconspicuous dry well in the shadows.
That's not right.
With such a big tree blocking the view, even if there was a moon at night, the light was very dim. How did the scholar see the little beggar's movements by the well?
This thought suddenly popped up in Lin Qi's mind, and his eyelids jumped. He was about to send a message to remind his senior brother, but he saw Xiang Sheng had already followed the little beggar and was about to walk under the tree.
The branches and leaves of the old locust tree swayed and rose slightly, as if it were a bloody mouth, ready to devour someone.
"No! Brother, let's go save her!"
Lin Qi didn't have time to say anything more. He hurriedly sent a message and immediately chased after him.
Yan Feipeng's expression suddenly changed, "Junior brother, wait a minute!"
There was a commotion behind them, and the gaze that was secretly watching them immediately left Xiang Sheng and fell on Yan and Lin. Even the little beggar turned around to look.
And at the moment when the little beggar turned around, a clear sword chant suddenly sounded in his ears.
Danger!
The little beggar's face changed drastically, and he immediately tried to withdraw and retreat, putting some distance between himself and Xiang Sheng.
However, before he could make any move, he saw a white sword light rapidly enlarged in front of his eyes.
puff!
The sword flashed instantly through his brow, drawing a pool of blood. The little beggar's eyes quickly dimmed, and he fell to the ground, dead.
The change happened so quickly that before Lynch could see the whole process, there was a body on the ground.
He looked at the little beggar's body and was completely stunned.
Xiang Sheng had an indifferent expression. He raised his hand and nodded again. The sword light immediately changed direction and stabbed towards the wellhead at lightning speed!
Wow!!
The motionless branches around it suddenly came alive and shot towards the sword light, trying to wrap it tightly.
Before he could get close to the range of the sword light, he was strangled by the sword intent and turned into sawdust all over the sky.
Then there was a "puff" sound, and the sword light sank into the well, but it seemed like it had pierced into a flesh and blood body.
A large amount of blood immediately gushed out from the dry wellhead.
"How dare you!"
A face filled with anger emerged from the tree roots. It was the old pharmacist from before.
He shook the eight main branches violently.
Rumble!
The earth shook, and countless tree roots broke out of the ground, turning into sharp swords that stabbed at Xiang Sheng.
Lynch dodged several tree roots in a hurry, but was accidentally hit by one of them. He felt like he was hit hard, vomited blood and rolled to the side.
Yan Feipeng was quick-witted and quick-handed, catching his junior brother and retreating.
Lin Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the powerful locust tree demon in horror.
What kind of cultivation level does this old tree demon have?
He couldn't even catch a single tree root, so could Fellow Daoist Shen withstand tens of thousands of them?
Facing the overwhelming tree roots, Xiang Sheng remained calm, his sword flashing under his feet as he calmly walked through the gaps and slowly approached the tree roots.
At the same time, he continued to control the flying sword to wreak havoc in the dry well.
The blood boiled and filled the wellhead.
"ah!!"
The human face on the tree root howled in pain, red light appeared in its eyes, and it violently shook a main branch that was shining with golden light, lashing it towards Xiang Sheng.
Xiang Sheng's eyes fixed, and instead of retreating, he moved forward and stretched out his hand to grab the main branch.
The locust tree demon was not surprised but happy when he saw this.
This branch is the hardest part of its entire body. Not to mention the weak human beings, even the demons of the same level cannot get any benefit from it.
This human's sword was really powerful. It was worrying about how to deal with it, but it didn't expect this person to be so arrogant that he still didn't recall the flying sword and tried to use his physical body to fight against its main branch. It was simply courting death!
