"make a deal!"
Chen Luo sat down.
He has never lost a game of chess. Anyone who plays chess with him is convinced and bows down to him.
Shengshengzhu didn't know what Chen Luo was thinking, she just thought he was as confident in the way of chess as she was. So she stretched out her hand and lightly tapped the bamboo table with her index finger. A circle of light green ripples spread out, and slender bamboo branches grew out from the table. The bamboo opened and grew, turning into grass-green leaves.
The leaves fell off and curled up into round chess pieces on the table. The colors also automatically divided into two colors: withered yellow and grass green in the process.
"You are a guest from afar, you go first."
Chen Luo reached out and picked up a yellowish chess piece, and without asking the rules, he placed it directly in the center of the chessboard. His technique was crude and his moves were not standardized, which made Shengshengzhu frown.
But she didn't say much, just thinking that this was Chen Luo's habit.
So she also raised her hand, picked up a grass-green chess piece, and dropped it beside her.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
The chessboard is filled with grass-green pieces, and as for the withered yellow pieces, only the last one is left, resting in the very middle of the board.
"You lose."
Shengshengzhu raised his head and a smile appeared on his face.
During the game, he had already seen that the opponent didn't seem to understand chess. His chess numbers were messed up and he didn't even know the basic rules of making moves. Playing chess with such a person, it was inevitable that he would feel a bit defeated.
BANG!!
Before Sheng Sheng Zhu could finish his thought, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes.
The dark chessboard landed precisely on her head. With a crisp sound, Shengshengzhu's head exploded like a bamboo, and green bamboo fibers flew everywhere. Only a headless corpse was left sitting opposite, and the color on its body faded little by little.
Buzz!!
The lake water was boiling, and the water surface that originally surrounded the pavilion also began to boil. Dense bamboos grew out from it. These bamboos were like flying swords, stabbing towards the pavilion. As they flew in, dense thin bamboos grew out of the main poles, which were glowing with the unique aura of plants and monsters, as if they were ambushed from all sides.
Shengsheng Bamboo is not as weak as the outside world says.
The power that erupts from his rage is no weaker than that of famous demons like Granny Yan.
The pavilion where the two sat opposite each other also turned into a huge thick bamboo, and the pillars of the pavilion turned into yellow-brown old bamboo, trapping Chen Luo inside like a cage. The ground below even grew densely packed with thin bamboos, which were like ground locks, binding Chen Luo's legs tightly.
"You want to regret it?!"
A bamboo-green face condensed out from the exploding pillars all over the sky.
It is impossible for a demon of this level to be killed by a chessboard. Similarly, Chen Luo cannot be stabbed to death by these bamboos. Both sides know each other's strength.
There are no weak cultivators who can enter the legendary world.
"You lose."
Chen Luo calmly took back the chessboard and pointed to the only small piece of chessboard left on the table. There stood a lonely yellow chess piece on it, while the other grass-green chess pieces and the chessboard were all beaten into powder.
Shengshengzhu's movements suddenly stopped, and the bamboo around her kept shaking, revealing her inner emotions. It took her a long time to utter a word.
"You call this playing chess?!"
"Of course it counts! Before the game started, you didn't say that hitting people is not allowed."
Is there any need to talk about this?
Shengshengzhu fell silent for a moment. The bamboos around her disappeared, and the surrounding scenery returned to normal. Her body grew out of the ground again, and the surrounding scenery returned to normal.
Except for the broken chessboard in the middle, everything else is the same as before.
"Is this how you always play chess with others?"
Shengshengzhu glanced at the chessboard in Chen Luo's hand. He had just seen how he used the chessboard. It was an insult to the way of chess that such a good spiritual chessboard fell into the hands of such a person.
"certainly."
Chen Luo nodded affirmatively.
There is nothing wrong with his chess style except that it is a bit wild. No one who has played chess with him has a bad thing to say.
"Now can you tell me how to leave?"
Shengshengzhu looked at Chen Luo. The expression on her face kept changing and the aura in her body was surging, as if she was communicating with someone. It took her a long time to calm down.
The purpose of Shengshengzhu is not the Yanghun Pill, but the luck parasite.
She wanted to parasitize Chen Luo and use his body to escape from the legendary world. This method was much faster than taking indirect pills like Yanghun Pill. Unfortunately, Chen Luo did not give her a chance and ended the game with the simplest and crudest method.
"Go in the direction you came from, and after ten miles, you will see a cemetery. The cemetery is the territory of the wild boar demon. You don't need to go deep into it, nor do you need to contact it. Just find a crooked tree at the entrance. After passing through the tree, you can leave the legendary world and enter the demon clan's holy land."
After weighing the pros and cons, Shengshengzhu decided to tell the way to leave.
The reason why she didn't land the last blow just now was because she sensed a hint of danger from Chen Luo. As a plant-type demon, Shengshengzhu was very confident in her perception, and she relied on this ability to survive until now.
"Crooked tree?"
Chen Luo frowned. He had flown from that direction before, but he didn't see any crooked trees. There were a lot of strange black trees in this place, and it was easy to miss them if you didn't look carefully.
"The world of legends is different from the outside world."
Now that it was out, Shengshengzhu didn't hide it anymore. She dispersed her own legendary world, and the two returned to the black wasteland.
"Everything in the legendary world is generated by legends from the outside world. Flowers, trees, stones, rivers, everything. If you try to find a way out in such an 'illusory' world woven by legends, you will only go further and further away. Legends are endless, and they are generated every moment. The crooked tree was also a legend, but its carrier has died, and the legends about it from the outside world are disappearing. The crooked tree, which has lost its carrier, has also entered the countdown of its life. Legend has it that during the process of dying, creatures will emit a kind of energy, and this energy will connect with the outside world."
I see.
The most real answer is that this 'tomb-robbing passage' has no fixed exit. Otherwise, with the protection of the holy mountain by the demon race, how could they leave a fixed exit unattended? The flower-backed turtle also calculated this, so he chose to enter from here.
This guy’s talent in tomb robbing is almost catching up with his big brother!
After saying goodbye to the Shengsheng Bamboo, Chen Luo quickly turned around and flew towards the direction of the crooked tree.
As he watched Chen Luo disappear, the smile on Shengshengzhu's face faded a little bit, and his facial features froze, like wood grain. The strange and fluctuating aura from before reappeared, and after a while, the sound of bamboo shoots growing was heard, and a new face appeared on the left side of Shengshengzhu's head.
"I've said it before, this kid won't be fooled. It's not that easy to trick a lifeless person. There are a lot of messy smells on him, and I feel palpitations just by smelling some of them."
"If we don't plot against him, are we just waiting to die? The ghost thing that caused Xue Tu to disappear has fled here, and the crooked tree is dead!"
Another face grew out of her chest.
This was followed by the fourth and fifth.
Each of these faces is different, and each represents an emotion. There are men and women, old and young. Only the one on the face looks the most real. The brain that is good at memory does not see the whole of this woman. She is not just a single Shengsheng bamboo, but a mutated Shengsheng bamboo. During the growth process, it merged with a resentful bamboo. What is exposed on the outside is Shengsheng bamboo, and what is hidden in the core is resentful bamboo.
"He smells so good, like the scent of magic grass. I really want to eat him."
"We can't beat him again! We're just bamboos!!"
"Didn't he go to the crooked tree? Let that devil give him a try, maybe we can get some good stuff."
Amid the noisy conversation, the scent of the living bamboo faded away little by little, until finally, like a rotten bitter bamboo, only a dead bamboo was left in its place.
The crooked tree is not far away.
Chen Luo quickly found the graveyard that Sheng Shengzhu mentioned.
However, he did not rush to approach, and stopped at a distance because he was used to keeping his hand steady. With one hand flipping, a thick stack of talismans appeared in his hand, and then he shook his sleeves, and more than 20 grasshopper-sized puppets fell out, and there were also more than a hundred poisonous insects exploring the way.
"Go ahead."
Chen Luo controlled the pathfinders to fly towards the crooked tree. But before these little creatures got close, several thoughts popped up in his external brain at the same time.
'Resentment is following me from behind!'
'There is murderous intent.'
'Underground, the nine-headed lion's vengeful spirit is hidden, and its consciousness is hard to find.'
The three thoughts came from the three strongest brains in Chen Luo. Among them, the feedback from Brother Changqing was the clearest, and he directly told him the location of the attacker.
An invisible force rushed out from the ground.
The earth exploded.
The lotus-shaped soil layer rose up, and the orange-red flames shot straight into the sky. The air around them rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black ground gave off a pungent smell of burning.
boom!!
The dark sky shattered like a mural, and large pieces of black rocks fell down. These rocks continued to burn as they fell, emitting dark flames and forming fireballs like a meteor shower.
'die!!'
Resentment was overwhelming, and Chen Luo could clearly feel a hatred locking onto him.
But he didn't see anyone in his spiritual sense, nor did he see anyone with his eyes. Just as Brother Changqing had judged, the thing that attacked him had gone 'invisible'. Now it was scorching hot all around, and he had no way of determining the other party's position.
'Why are there resentful spirits left?'
Chen Luo observed his surroundings, and kept recalling his experience in the tomb. He remembered that he had handled it very cleanly before. From a professional point of view, it was absolutely impossible to leave any traces. If there were any wronged souls left at the scene, the soul flag would definitely be able to sense it.
