A puppet rose from the ground. It looked in the direction Qin Nuo and the others left and said expressionlessly, "Come on then."
"I will turn all of you into fertilizer. If you can't become fertilizer, then you will stay here forever and become a part of this place!"
…
Here, Shu Yue, guided by the ghost in her body, walked out a precise route among multiple forks in the road.
Following this route, Qin Nuo felt a slight throbbing in his right hand.
The Blood Eye Ghost said, "The smell of the ingredients is getting stronger and stronger."
"The ghost in that girl is not looking for the core of the tree, but the location of the ingredients."
This is similar to Qin Nuo's idea. The so-called ingredients are either part of the tree or something important related to it.
"That guy is also here for the food, so we're bound to clash. I'm worried that I won't have a chance to beat him!" The blood-eyed ghost spoke with full of fighting spirit.
Qin Nuo's expression was calm.
If Shu Yue also insisted on getting the ingredients, they would be in a very awkward situation.
Do I really have to fight with Shu Yue for the ingredients?
Qin Nuo followed Shu Yue in silence, feeling mixed emotions.
At this time, there was another movement from the front. The ground bulged with blue tumors, forming human bodies. Looking at Shu Yue and the others, he said stiffly: "You are doing useless work. In my body, I have countless ways to eliminate you."
"Just like viruses that enter the human body, white blood cells will clear them out and they won't leave any impression on the human body."
The sacred tree uses human beings as a metaphor.
Qin Nuo said calmly: "However, the virus can also kill the host. No matter how weak it is, there is still this risk."
Several puppets twitched all over and continued to speak: "So, now we are getting rid of you."
As he spoke, the puppets rushed forward, their bodies moving rapidly, looking very much like bodies of the opposite sex.
Before Brother Yu and Sister Meng could make a move, Shu Yue's wings of flesh and blood grew out and extended out like two bloody knives, slashing out quickly and cutting all the puppets in half.
Countless blue-black liquids splashed on the bloody wings, emitting billowing black smoke.
Brother Yu looked at this scene and frowned slightly.
At this moment, a large number of roots suddenly emerged from the wooden wall behind him and entangled him and Sister Meng.
But soon, all the silver threads were cut off by Sister Meng.
"It's attacking us madly, which means we are getting closer and closer to its core." Brother Yu said hoarsely.
Shu Yue over there was still fighting those puppets frantically.
Some of those who fell to the ground, still struggling, or even able to move, had their heads smashed and were killed completely.
Sister Meng watched this scene and said in a deep voice, "Although they are puppets, they may also contain the memories of the villagers of Liekou Village. A thorough fight may also have an impact on those villagers!"
Shu Yue listened, folded her flesh and blood wings, turned back to look at Sister Meng, expressionless: "But that's just your guess, and I don't like leaving any trouble behind."
Sister Meng wanted to say something, but Brother Yu patted her shoulder and said, "Forget it."
Qin Nuo said: "Such obstruction will not have any effect at all. The tree is quite intelligent and will not do such useless work."
Brother Yu said, "Perhaps, this is all it can do now?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was another strange noise around him.
It's like the gurgling sound of the stomach and intestines.
Then, Qin Nuoyi and others' expressions changed slightly.
The surrounding wooden walls seemed to be drained of moisture and vitality in an instant, withering rapidly and developing layers of wrinkles, just like a wind-dried wall with the paint constantly falling off.
"What is it doing?" Brother Yu looked puzzled.
Qin Nuo said: "I don't know."
"But it's definitely not a good thing."
After such a change, everything became completely quiet and nothing happened anymore.
Several people were suspicious.
Shu Yue blinked, turned around and continued walking forward: "Let's continue."
Although they didn't understand why, Qin Nuo and the other two had no choice but to follow Shu Yue.
As we continued walking forward, the surrounding terrain changed. The grooves on the wooden walls disappeared and became smooth, with countless obscure spots of light flowing around.
Shu Yue stopped, looked at a place, raised his hand, and used his ghost power to directly cut a piece of wooden wall.
Countless evil spirits came out from the gap, like a strong wind, making bursts of ghostly howling sounds.
Qin Nuo stood behind him, squinted his eyes, opened a bloodshot eye on his right hand, and stared at the gap.
"It's strong, right inside!"
After the crack was torn open, both sides began to wriggle, and then the crack continued to expand, tearing a larger hole.
More cold and sinister ghost energy seeped out, and the pitch-black crack seemed to lead to an endless abyss...
Shu Yue stared at the gap with a fierce look in her eyes and took a step forward.
Just as I was about to step into the darkness, a hand suddenly grabbed my shoulder.
Qin Nuo appeared behind him and said in a serious tone: "Wait a minute!"
