Chapter 70: The Divine Calculator Washes the Tree, Chrysalis Explodes the Corpse Soldiers
In the cellar, a fierce battle was going on.
Xiao Yu's sword swift as a stream of light clashed with the Yaksha guardian, sword energy surging and the sound of metal and stone clashing. Chu Xuanyi, like a shaman, wielded a mahogany sword in his left hand and a five-thunder talisman in his right, weaving among the believers, chanting, "Thunder rolls in the sky, fire blazes on the earth, demons and monsters, transform into pus! Hurry, as the command goes!"
The golden electric light collided with the black energy and evil magic of the believers, exploding into balls of brilliant and deadly sparks.
At this moment when the battle is at a stalemate and every moment is full of danger.
A small head with two buns quietly poked out from the dark tunnel entrance.
Ah Jiu had come in with her eyes closed. She had been sleepwalking all the way, guided solely by the increasingly strong smell of "stinky dried radish mixed with rotten mud." By the time she reached the entrance to the cellar, the odor was so strong that it nearly stopped her nose.
When Jiu opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the huge, ferocious black tree in the center of the cave.
"Wow!" Her little mouth opened into an "O" shape.
She couldn't understand any evil magic, nor could she sense any evil energy. In her pure world, this was just a huge tree that was so ugly and smelly because it hadn't been bathed in a long time.
"Dirty." Jiu frowned and muttered to himself with a look of disgust.
She saw the large white "bags" hanging from the tree again, some of them still moving, and the image of her master drying bacon immediately emerged in her little mind.
"Master said that things hung up are prone to insects." She nodded seriously, feeling that her judgment was very correct.
So, this little fortune teller, who had the great sentiment of "caring for flowers, plants and trees, and paying attention to personal hygiene", decided to give the poor ugly tree a bath and get rid of the insects at the same time.
She pulled a handful of colorful candy beans from her purse, embroidered with a little yellow duck. These were "snacks" Chu Xuanyi had concocted from various rare medicinal herbs to appease her. Among them was the "Seven Wonders Bone-Dissolving Candy," which was said to be able to dissolve all poisons and even bones. Of course, in Ah Jiu's mouth, these were the "sour, sweet, and crunchy" candy beans.
"You need to use savory beans in your bath!"
She grabbed a handful of jelly beans and threw them at the huge "holy tree" with all her might!
"Swish, swish, swish--" The colorful rain of sugar beans drew lovely arcs and hit the dark vines of the sacred tree accurately.
Then she took out a paper bag, which she had asked for from the medicine boy in the Imperial Master's Mansion. It was said to be the most powerful medicinal powder used to drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants.
"And sprinkle some incense powder on it!"
She threw the entire paper bag out, and it burst open in mid-air. The pale yellow powder spread like a cloud of smoke, covering a large area of the sacred tree.
After doing all this, she clapped her hands and shouted with satisfaction: "It won't stink anymore after washing it!"
Her voice was clear and loud, standing out in the cellar filled with sounds of fighting and roaring.
Both sides who were fighting fiercely couldn't help but pause in their movements.
Xiao Yu forced the guardian back with a sword, and turned around to see the small figure who was supposed to be locked up in the Imperial Master's Mansion. The veins in his temples began to throb wildly.
Chu Xuanyi almost couldn't breathe, and the talismans in his hands fell down: "My three locks! My five soul-calming talismans! My eight Taoist children!" He was roaring in his heart, feeling that his entire worldview had been pressed to the ground and rubbed by this little ancestor!
However, the next second, they had no time to think about these things.
Because, the moment the "holy tree" came into contact with those "sugar beans" and "powder", it suddenly let out a sharp scream that was not something a living thing could make!
“Squeak—!”
The sound was so harsh, as if countless steel needles were scraping the eardrums!
The entire sacred tree resembled a mad bull doused in boiling oil, its countless vines twisting and flailing wildly! After being stained with the "Seven Deadly Bone-Melting Candy," those once incredibly tough vines, like candles scorched by a branding iron, began to melt and rot, emitting a sizzling black smoke! And the insect repellent powder was even more toxic to the sacred tree, which was rooted in poisonous insects!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Something even more terrible happened!
Dozens of giant cocoons hanging on the vines burst one after another due to the violent struggle of the sacred tree!
“Puff!”
Accompanied by sticky green juice splashing everywhere, what fell out of the cocoon was not a "holy fetus" at all, but some... monsters that were neither human nor insect!
Some have human torsos, but their limbs are sharp mantis sickles; some have faces covered with densely packed compound eyes, and spider silk spits out of their mouths; and some are simply a bunch of giant poisonous insects that are still wriggling and have not yet taken shape!
The cellar instantly turned into a Shura field!
After a brief moment of confusion, those half-finished monsters were immediately aroused by the bloody smell and pounced on the nearest living creatures around them without distinguishing between friend and foe!
"Ah--!" A member of the Withered Vine Cult was unable to dodge and had his head chopped off by a mantis monster!
"Save me! Protector, save me!" Another person was knocked down by several poisonous insects and was eaten in an instant until only a skeleton was left!
This sudden change threw the originally orderly believers into chaos.
The pressure on Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi also increased dramatically! Not only did they have to deal with the cultists, but they also had to guard against these fearless and disgusting monsters!
"Evil beast!" The Yaksha guardian was shocked and angry. He could never have imagined that the supreme sacred tree of his sect would be destroyed like this by a few handfuls of sugar beans and a handful of medicine powder thrown by a little girl!
At the moment when he was distracted and roaring, a cold light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes, and he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Po Jun!"
His body and sword became one, transforming into a bright starlight that instantly pierced through the guardian's left shoulder!
"Puff!" Blood spurted out!
At the same time, Chu Xuanyi also seized the opportunity and slammed the most powerful "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" in his hand to the ground!
"Thunder shakes the nine heavens!"
The golden lightning net suddenly spread out with him as the center, turning several believers and monsters into charcoal!
"That's enough."
An old, dry sound, like the friction between two dead leaves, slowly rang out from behind the madly twisting sacred tree.
The sound was not loud, but it seemed to carry some strange magic, causing all the violent monsters and vines in the cellar to become eerily quiet in an instant.
A figure walked out from behind the huge trunk of the sacred tree.
He was a hunched, thin, withered old man. His skin was like the bark of an old tree, covered with deep grooves and brown spots, and his eyes were sunken in his eye sockets.
As soon as he appeared, the seriously injured Yaksha guardian, regardless of his injuries, struggled to kneel on one knee and lowered his head respectfully.
This person is the elder of the Ku Teng Sect!
