Chapter 172: Mountain Training 11
An urgent, tender little girl's voice rang out in the air.
Zhang Linger was not surprised to hear the voice, but she did not expect the childish tone. She thought it was a thousand-year-old monster like the banyan tree spirit.
But now the voice sounds like a child's.
But he just made that one sound and didn't say anything else.
If you were an ordinary person, you might still question whether you were hallucinating.
"That's the sound, that's the sound—"
Wang Xing on the side was speaking excitedly. Zhang Linger's words just now seemed to have given him a shot of adrenaline, making him calm and no longer afraid.
Unlike him, Qian Dayuan and the other two heard the sound clearly this time, and they all trembled involuntarily.
They had just not seen with their own eyes the scene of the Xuanmen people killing the tree monster, and now the girl's voice suddenly appeared in the air, and they were very frightened.
"Are you going to show up on your own or are we going to force you with the talisman?"
Zhang Linger turned around and stared at the old locust tree, fearing that the vine would run away.
After she finished speaking, there was silence all around, without any other sound.
Oh, you're not planning to come out.
"Idol, lend me a talisman. I'll transfer the money to you when I get back."
Zhang Linger turned around and walked over to ask Qing Yanrou for the talisman.
"Sister, don't hurt Sister Ivy."
Zhang Yu'er had just woken up in a daze when the vine was talking. Seeing Zhang Ling'er was going to get the talisman from her master to deal with it, she couldn't help but speak softly.
"Sister knows."
Zhang Linger walked over and touched her head, and replied softly.
Then he took the talisman and walked to the old locust tree again.
"I'll ask you one last time. Are you really not going to show up yourself?"
There was still silence all around.
"Ling'er, since they won't come out, then just use the lightning talisman."
Zhao Xi walked up to her and casually glanced at the old locust tree.
With his sharp eyes, he saw that the leaves of the vines hidden under the branches of the locust tree were shaking uncontrollably in the darkness.
"Yeah, okay."
Zhang Linger held the talisman between her fingers, slowly injected mysterious power into it, and began to chant the talisman.
"Wait! I'm coming out, don't—"
Before they finished speaking, they saw the vines struggling to come down from the locust tree, and soon the vines twisted together and transformed into the image of a seven or eight-year-old human cub.
However, due to her insufficient cultivation, she was only using her original body to transform into the appearance of a human, and she had not yet cultivated herself into a full-fledged form.
"Girl, why don't you listen to grandpa?"
As the old man's voice fell, the tall old locust tree in front of them disappeared instantly, and was replaced by an energetic old man.
Through the light of the flashlight they could see that his skin was different from human skin, and the naked, exposed face and hands could be seen to be completely green.
"Hello, Taoist priests. My grandfather and I have never done anything against the laws of nature. I hope you will let us go."
The locust tree spirit spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, with a calm expression on his face, but he subconsciously shielded Xiao Man behind him.
This is still a warning to them!
"You're talking nonsense. What happened to my foot? And why did you chase us all the way?"
Wang Xing blushed as he heard him say that he had never done anything against the law.
The fear of being chased by them still lingered in his heart.
"That's right, why did you keep chasing us?!"
Although Qian Dayuan was also very scared, he saw that they were negotiating politely with the people from Xuanmen, and it seemed that they were no match for them.
So now they had the courage to speak up.
"You're talking nonsense. It was you who hurt me first. Your feet were stained with my blood, which is why you did that."
Xiao Man heard their voices and poked her head out from behind her grandfather and said indignantly.
"How could I—"
Wang Xing felt a little insecure at the moment. After all, he did cut the vine at that time, but it was the vine that entangled him first. Thinking of this, his face was filled with indignation again.
"Then tell me what's going on."
The people from Xuanmen looked at each other after hearing what they said, and then Han Dong said to Wang Xing indifferently.
Noticing their indifference towards him, and fearing they would ignore him, he spoke hastily:
"That afternoon we were busy running to the cave to avoid the rain, and she suddenly got wrapped around my ankle and scratched it. In a hurry, I used a knife to cut off the vine that was wrapped around my ankle."
"That's what happened. Then my foot became like this. Then they came after us when it got dark, and that's when we ran here."
The more Wang Xing spoke, the more wronged he felt. He ran deep into the forest and was almost eaten by that perverted tree demon. He still remembered the painful feeling of his soul being pulled and tugged.
"What do you say?"
After listening to Wang Xing, Han Dong turned his attention to the locust tree spirit and the others.
"We're chasing them for no other reason than to clean the poison from his feet. Otherwise, at best, his legs will be crippled, and at worst, his life will be in danger."
"No matter what the situation is, my granddaughter will bear the consequences, so we chased him to detoxify him. Who knew he ran faster than anyone else? That's the banyan tree monster's territory, so we can only wait here."
In fact, the grandfather and grandson were already in despair after seeing him run into the banyan tree monster's territory. He would most likely become the banyan tree monster's meal.
Xiaoman was doomed to bear the consequences, but they still waited here without giving up, to see if Qiwu would show up.
A miracle did happen, but they themselves might not be able to save themselves.
"Then why did you tie his ankle before?"
Zhang Linger asked Xiao Man who was hiding behind the locust tree spirit.
"I, I didn't mean to do that. He was running too fast and stepped on me and hurt me. I just wrapped him around a little bit, but he cut off my branch."
Xiao Man's tone was full of grievance. She had obviously done nothing wrong. He cut off his own branch and his own poison entered his body. It was clearly his own fault.
But I have to chase after him to help him detoxify because I am afraid of being held responsible. This is so unfair.
Well, everyone finally understood that it was all a misunderstanding.
Although they were short-sighted and their cultivation was not high, they could still see that the vine spirit and the locust tree spirit were indeed honest and decent, and had not been tainted by any undue karma.
"Since it's all a misunderstanding, it's fine as long as we resolve it."
"You don't want to bear the consequences, and he doesn't want his legs to be crippled, so please help him detoxify."
They didn't expect things to be so simple. At first they thought it would be another fierce battle.
Xiao Man walked out from behind him at the signal of the locust tree spirit.
With a whoosh, a thin vine came out of her body and headed straight for Wang Xing.
