"Ahem, that's not what I meant."
Junlin coughed awkwardly. To be honest, he had indeed considered taking Luo Jie into the Emperor's Banner after Luo Jie died.
But that was just a thought; he didn't put it into practice, did he?
Luo Jie took out a pill and swallowed it, and the wound stopped bleeding.
But they hadn't run very far.
Then sharp spikes emerged from the ground, forming a wooden wall that blocked their path.
"It's not easy to run, maybe I should go back and destroy him." Junlin said, looking at the locust tree behind him.
Luo Jie looked at Jun Lin, and for some reason, he didn't seem to sense any fear or tension from Jun Lin at all.
This is not the attitude a second-realm martial artist should have in the face of the current situation.
Could he be a hidden mastermind?!
"Brother Jun, tell me the truth, are you hiding your cultivation level?" Luo Jie's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Huh? No." Jun Lin was taken aback. Had this guy misunderstood him?
He wanted to go back and self-destruct.
Luo Jie was immediately disappointed. "You stay here and don't run around. Avoid the splinters. I'll go clear the way ahead."
With that, he took his longsword and charged toward the wooden spikes blocking his path.
Junlin was immediately moved.
At a time like this, you're still worried about his safety?
He really made me cry my eyes out.
How could I betray such a dear friend? Even after Luo Jie dies, he will surely remain the eldest brother among the souls of the Emperor's Banner.
However, seeing Luo Jie clearing the way, Jun Lin did not stay where he was, but instead walked back.
He wanted to see if he could make that locust tree burst open.
soon.
Junlin returned to the locust tree, where thorns began to lash out at him.
However, Junlin did not dodge. Instead, after consuming a Spirit Nourishing Pill, he rushed directly towards the locust tree.
boom!
The violent explosion caused the entire village to tremble.
Luo Jie, who was clearing the way, was shocked to see this. He turned around and found that Jun Lin was no longer there.
Combined with the recent explosion and the sudden fragility of the splinters, it's easy to guess what happened.
King Lin is paving the way for him with his life!
Filled with grief and indignation, Luo Jie cut off the wooden spikes in front of him and ran out of the village. On the way, he also killed a few villagers who tried to stop him.
After leaving the village.
Luo Jie turned back, gazing at the silent Huai Village, and silently swore in his heart, "Brother Jun! Rest assured, I will definitely avenge you! If I break this oath, may Heaven..."
boom!
Suddenly, there was another loud bang, followed by a tremor in the ground.
Um?
Luo Jie was somewhat bewildered.
Why is it still exploding?
...
"What level is this thing? How come it's so hard?"
Junlin, who had just been reborn, was somewhat surprised to see the locust tree in front of him that he had blown up twice but which was still standing tall.
[It's a fourth-tier weapon, and its weakness is underground, so blowing up the top won't do much good.]
Why didn't you say so earlier?
Didn't you tell me not to say it?
"Really? I don't admit it."
【6】
Junlin stepped on the ground; it was solid.
Unfortunately, he didn't know any earth-burrowing techniques, so he could only self-destruct and plow the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions rang out, and for a moment, the entire Huai Village was shaken.
Not long after.
The area was blasted into numerous craters by King's Landing, revealing the roots of the locust tree hidden beneath the ground.
Countless tree roots intertwined, protecting a blood-red, heart-like object within.
"What is this thing? A tree heart?" Junlin looked at the "heart" thumping in front of him with some curiosity.
This is the heart of a demon; someone might be keeping it here.
"What's the use?"
[Consuming this will transform your physical constitution into a demonic form, increasing your combat power.]
"Okay, that's mine!"
Junlin charged straight at the Demon Heart, but was bound by tree roots that sprouted from other places.
Ah, this...
Junlin looked at the tree roots that bound his limbs and the wriggling locust tree branches in front of him.
Suddenly, some strange images popped into my mind.
Bondage play? Or tentacles?
Tsk, but he's a man, that's not quite right.
[...]
The system was secretly amazed; its master's thoughts were indeed abstract, and its strange knowledge had increased once again.
"I didn't expect a tree spirit to be so skillful."
Junlin grinned, looked at the Demon Heart protected by tree roots not far away, and chose to self-destruct.
He then revived right next to the Demon Heart.
He reached out and grasped the Demon Heart in his hand. "It really is a heart, just like its name suggests. But this thing probably doesn't taste very good, does it?"
Looking at the blood-soaked demon heart in his hand, Jun Lin felt a sense of disgust and revulsion.
Pfft!
Suddenly, sharp spikes pierced through Junlin's body.
"Holy crap, that hurts!"
Jun Lin gasped, then yanked hard, tearing the Demon Heart off.
The locust tree, having lost its demonic power, became still in an instant and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"System, is this thing really edible?" Junlin asked, looking at the Demon Heart in his hand.
Apart from the blood-red aura lingering around it, this demonic heart was not much different from an ordinary heart.
But precisely because of this, he found it hard to bring himself to eat it.
Yes, but your body may experience some changes after consuming it.
"What changes?"
[For example, horns growing on the head, magical markings appearing on the body, or two extra arms, a fourth leg, or even being covered in red hair, etc.]
