Chapter 37 Encountering the Dryad
Breakfast was already prepared on the table. Mu Feng and others had just left the inn, one step ahead of them.
While having breakfast, Xu Yuan also gave Chen Yu the news sent by the county magistrate.
Written on the white paper was information about the two victims. They were both able-bodied men from Meicheng, with no parents at home and none of them had even married.
The places they like to go to most on weekdays are those brothels.
The last place I went was the brothel opposite the inn.
However, the brothel would not open until night, so they could not go there during the day.
"Looks like we have to wait until night again."
Xuyuan said.
"No, we will split up later. There are other little monsters in Meicheng that need to be dealt with."
"Okay, but what about Miss Liuli?"
Now they didn't dare to leave Jiang Yi in the inn, after all, he had a grudge against Mu Feng.
"Needless to say, of course I'll follow Chen Yu." Xu Yuan quickly spoke up.
After all, the person with the highest spiritual power here is Chen Yu, and only he can lead Jiang Yi. Otherwise, if he follows Xu Yuan and Bai Zhuo, they will not be able to take care of Jiang Yi when they have to protect themselves.
So in the end Jiang Yi and Shen Yu left the inn.
The three of them acted separately, and Chen Yu took Jiang Yi to the outside of a forest.
There are dense trees in the forest. This is a large forest near Meicheng. It is surrounded by thick smoke, and there are bursts of evil spirits in the forest.
"It's tight on me."
Before entering the forest, Shen Yu gave repeated instructions.
After all, the forest is so big, and with the thick smoke, it is easy to get lost.
What's more, there are monsters inside. If Jiang Yi gets lost, Chen Yu won't be able to find her.
"Then can I hold your clothes, Master Shen?"
Jiang Yi asked cautiously.
"good."
The reason why Shen Yu agreed was also for his own consideration.
He came out to eliminate demons, and he couldn't always worry about taking care of Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi reached out and tightly grasped Chen Yu's clothes, and the two of them entered the forest.
When I first stepped into the forest, nothing strange happened, but I often heard birds singing. It was surprisingly quiet here and not many people came.
It’s because in Meicheng, a few years ago, people died in the forest, one after another.
Although the disciples of the Yunyou Sect came and took the evil spirit away, the people of Meicheng were still afraid and were left with a shadow, so they did not dare to come to the forest, which led to this situation.
The two of them had slowly walked to the center of the forest, getting closer and closer to the evil spirit.
There is only a huge tree in the center, surrounded by some weeds swaying in the wind.
“Master Shen, is the demon nearby?”
"Um."
In order to appear very scared, Jiang Yi deliberately grabbed his clothes tightly.
And just at this moment, after a breeze, everything began to feel a little different.
The thick smoke that had gathered around was suddenly blown away by the wind, and all around were stone walls and human statues standing.
Jiang Yi now let go of Shen Yu's clothes and came to the statues.
The statues are lifelike, just like real people.
Jiang Yi reached out and touched it, but it was really as cold as stone.
Chen Yu also looked around to see if there was anything else he had missed.
The statues are all men, and their faces have expressions of extreme fear.
It was as if he had seen something horrible and then been turned into a statue out of stone.
Just as Jiang Yi approached the big tree, the branches of the tree began to twitch and directly threw Jiang Yi away.
Fortunately, Shen Yu noticed something was wrong and quickly came over to grab Jiang Yi's hand to prevent her from bumping into the statue.
"It seems that the demon is this tree."
Shen Yu summoned the spirit sword and held it tightly in his hand.
Jiang Yi was also ready to take out the Thousand Machine Umbrella at any time to save his life.
The big tree also became angry. Its roar scared the whole forest and made the birds that were still in the forest fly away in fear.
The statue still stands here motionless.
The tree began to attack the two.
The branches have become very soft, but if they hit someone, it would be enough to kill them.
After all, when Shen Yu pulled Jiang Yi away from the branches just now, the branches of the big tree hit the statue.
The hard statue shattered in an instant.
“Master Shen, why did this tree suddenly go crazy? It was fine just now.”
Jiang Yi wanted to find out the cause of the madness so that he could prescribe the right medicine.
But they hadn't done anything just now, and after the smoke cleared, it remained like this.
"Does it think we're invading its territory?"
"I don't know."
Shen Yu had been hiding from the branches of the big tree.
So I can’t think about those things.
Jiang Yi was tired of hiding, and during this time Chen Yu cut off a lot of branches.
But the branches seem to have countless lives, and they grow back immediately after being cut.
If this continues, Shen Yu's spiritual power will be drained away by the tree sooner or later.
Jiang Yi has no spiritual power, so this is not a solution.
"System, quickly find a way. How do you want me to deal with this big tree?"
[Host, don't you know that wood is afraid of fire? ]
The system's words seemed to wake Jiang Yi up.
She and Chen Yu were both facing off against Yu Dashu, so they had no time to think about these things.
“Mr. Shen, you can try using fire.”
After Jiang Yi finished speaking, Shen Yu immediately had an epiphany.
Yes, why didn't he think of this just now.
Shen Yu immediately sent Jiang Yi over, took back the spiritual sword, and gathered the spiritual power in his palm into a huge fireball.
When the branches attacked again, Shen Yu turned the fireball into a cloud of green smoke and hit the body of the tree.
The next second, the big tree was burned by the raging fire, and it wailed in pain in the fire, and was finally burned to ashes.
In the ashes, Jiang Yi found a bead, but it was dim and lifeless.
[This is a good thing, it will come in handy, the host can keep it.]
The system saw Jiang Yi was about to throw away the beads and quickly reminded him.
Jiang Yi then put the beads and the Thousand Machine Umbrella together.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu was still searching, and finally found three or five snake scales.
There must have been a snake demon living in this big tree. The snake demon was very powerful, so the big tree absorbed the demon's energy and eventually turned into a tree demon.
"It seems the snake demon is also nearby, but it would be difficult to deal with it now. Let's go back first."
Chen Yu consumed a lot of spiritual energy to deal with the tree monster. After all, the tree monster was much more powerful than the water monster and leech.
Jiang Yi also thought that he could do it thoroughly first and come back tomorrow.
However, just as the two were about to leave, they saw Mu Feng coming with his disciples, and several cultivators.
"I heard the snake demon is in this forest, and its cave is full of treasures!"
"Since we've come here, we must get something."
These immortal cultivators actually came here just for the snake demon. Could there really be a treasure here?
Jiang Yi glanced at Chen Yu, who also looked at the others with suspicion.
