"Give me a hand! Give me a hand—"
"OMG?!"
"What on earth is this thing?!"
Those who escaped stood at a distance, screaming in despair.
In just a few minutes, Dormitory Area No. 7 seemed to have turned into a devil's territory.
More and more people are starting to flee.
Everyone saw Xiao He standing in the middle of the path, beams of light emanating from his jade lotus, each beam striking a tree branch and saving a person.
What is she doing?
"It's dangerous there!"
A girl in the crowd saw Xiao He and felt that his back looked very familiar.
But the current situation is clearly not the time for her to reminisce.
"Senior Han! Don't go!" The people around her tried to grab her, but it was too late.
Hearing the voice, Xiao He turned around and saw Han Siru.
She started singing as she ran.
"Small Fireball" is a common first skill for fire mages, and this is the skill she used to test the "Tree Demon's" abilities.
boom--
The small fireball struck the tree trunk, leaving only a small charred patch.
"It works!" Her eyes lit up.
"Senior Sister Han?" Xiao He was somewhat surprised.
Upon hearing Xiao He's voice, she finally remembered that it was the "famous" heretical priest.
"What are you doing here?" Han Siru's first thought was whether this matter was related to him.
“I was just passing by,” Xiao He answered honestly. “I came to plant trees, but I couldn’t find a planting hole. Instead, I discovered these three tree spirits.”
"Is that so..." Han Siru's face was solemn.
The two looked at the tree demons, which had completely shed their disguises. Fortunately, they didn't have legs, otherwise the people in the distance wouldn't be so safe.
“This is at most a C-rank monster.” Han Siru frowned. “But… it’s not something we junior academy students can handle.”
"Really?" Xiao He was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time he had come across information about "demons".
Han Siru looked around and saw that many people had been seriously injured, but fortunately, no one had died yet.
Because the tree demon's "mouth" is located at the tree roots, Xiao He would save someone in time whenever they were about to be swallowed up.
The three-headed tree demon was completely enraged.
Xiao He not only ruined their plans but also kept injuring them, which drove them into a frenzy.
"Let's go!" Han Siru pulled him.
"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Xiao He asked, puzzled.
"What else?" Han Siru said irritably, "Have you ever fought a monster?"
Xiao He shook his head.
"Isn't that enough?" Han Siru glared at him. "The most important thing now is to wait for the guards. Before that, there shouldn't be any more casualties! Understand?"
Xiao He nodded.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Han Siru was startled when she saw him walking forward.
"Get the car."
"A car?!" Han Siru felt like she was about to explode with anger.
Xiao He leisurely got back into the car, turned around in front of the three tree demons, and when he came to Han Siru's side, he stopped the car and asked, "Want to get in, senior?"
"..."
The crowd retreated further away.
After all, this was their dormitory. It was the middle of the night, and they couldn't leave the school. They didn't know where to go, so they could only huddle together and watch from afar, waiting for the college's guard team to come and clear them out.
It took them a while after Xiao He drove out of their sight before they realized they had forgotten to thank him...
After turning a corner, Xiao He decisively abandoned the carriage on the side of the road.
"Are you kidding me? I'd walk? This is such a huge experience point! I'd walk?!"
After changing into the "Netherworld Cloak" worn in the dueling arena, Xiao He grabbed He Yu, who had transformed into a magic wand, and climbed up the stairs to the rooftop.
During this time, the three-headed tree demon was not idle.
The underground tree roots grew wildly, turning the three trees into one giant tree.
"Could it be a fusion and evolution of the same kind?" Xiao He watched silently, not feeling afraid at all.
The once straight and upright trees have now become crooked and strangely shaped due to their intertwining.
The leaves on the trees had all fallen, leaving only bare branches bent like withered hands.
"Oh no! They've become Grade A!"
"Run! Run!"
Many students screamed and ran away, and the sound could be heard clearly in the neighboring dormitory areas.
The evolved tree demon was more irritable. It desperately needed to be nourished by blood, but almost everyone nearby had fled, which made it very anxious.
So it frantically devoured the life force of the surrounding trees, making itself stronger and allowing its thick roots to extend further underground.
In just a few minutes, its canopy had already reached over the top floor.
Its "tentacles" crossed the nearby buildings and attacked the dormitory buildings further away.
"Growing so fast?" Xiao He was dumbfounded, feeling incredibly envious of the tree spirit.
All demons in the world have a strong sense of perception towards living beings. However, Xiao He was standing not far away, yet the tree demon failed to notice him.
The Netherworld Cloak could conceal all traces of his presence. To the Tree Demon, Xiao He, wearing the cloak, appeared as a lifeless, inanimate object.
"Boom!"
The two nearest buildings were slapped in half by its tree roots and then slowly collapsed.
Xiao He stood on the increasingly tilted rooftop and had no choice but to find a new place to stand.
Even so, the tree demon did not "see" the person who openly jumped onto it.
However, the tree demon was blind to it, while hundreds of students around were already dumbfounded.
