What was even more unacceptable to everyone was that there was a pile of dead bodies as high as a hill under the human-faced tree. Some of them were covered with grass, some had begun to rot, and the foul water that flowed out was being absorbed by the human-faced tree bit by bit as nutrients.
Seeing this, many people were so shocked by the scene that their faces turned pale and they quickly walked aside to vomit.
When the Bone Girl saw the corpses, she immediately glared at the Human-Faced Tree in anger. "I was wondering why there were fewer and fewer corpses in the river over the past hundred years. It turns out that this Human-Faced Tree has blocked them from flowing. I'm so angry!"
Just after the Bone Girl finished shouting angrily, the leaves of the quiet human-faced tree suddenly began to move, as if a strong wind was blowing, and the leaves and the human-faced fruits began to float in the air.
"Oh no! This human-faced tree is about to wake up. We need to leave this place quickly. Otherwise, we will all be treated as nutrients by this tree like those corpses and left here to nourish it."
The Bone Girl screamed and quickly shouted at Wang Qingliu who was holding her tightly.
Wang Qingliu stared at her with a half-believing and half-doubting look on his face, "Is what you said true? This human-faced tree can wake up, isn't it a tree?"
The woman immediately glared at him angrily, "You're supposed to be a ghost hunter, but don't you know there are many spirits in this world? This tree has grown so big and has even fished out so many corpses as nutrients, which means it's already a spirit, idiot."
When Wang Qingliu heard her call him an idiot, he glared at her angrily and said, "Don't call me an idiot. If you call me an idiot again, I will crush your bones."
When Gu Nu heard this, she was so frightened that her body froze. She turned her head to the side and snorted, "Hmph, you just bully a poor little girl like me." Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, who were standing not far from them, heard what Gu Nu just said.
Originally they were a little skeptical whether this human-faced tree had become a spirit, but now after hearing what the Bone Girl said, they were now very sure that this human-faced tree had indeed become a spirit.
"Ah, something is pulling my foot."
Just then, someone in the crowd shouted, "Where did the vine come from? How can it grab people's feet?"
Someone else shouted in fear.
The next second, the two people who shouted were immediately hung up and dragged quickly towards the human-faced tree.
Seeing this, Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai went to rescue people separately.
Gu Mingtai took out the peach wood sword he had raised and chopped it hard. Only a human scream was heard, and the half-cut tree root quickly retracted the vines.
Zhang Meng was equally quick and decisive, cutting the vines with the sword that protected the house.
The two rescued little soldiers immediately ran to the couple in fear and stood beside them.
After a while, dozens of vines suddenly rushed out from all directions, and each vine had a human-faced peach on it.
"Ah, Dead Face Peach, I am the Bone Girl, and you dare to arrest me? Aren't you tired of living?"
At this moment, a vine caught the Bone Girl. With her hands tied, the Bone Girl could not use any strength and could only curse at the vine that caught her.
The vines holding it not only did not loosen, but instead tightened their grip, dragging it towards the human-faced tree.
The Bone Girl looked at the pile of corpses that looked like a small mountain, her face full of disgust, and immediately shouted towards Wang Qingliu, "Mr. Wang, please save me quickly! I don't want to become the nourishment of this human-faced tree."
Wang Qingliu, who had finally cut off a human-faced vine, heard her call for help and asked with a smug look on his face, "Didn't you just say that you were quite capable? Why do you need me to save you now?"
The bone girl blushed at what she said. At first, she thought that the human-faced tree didn't dare to touch her. After all, she was a bone girl and had great abilities. However, she never expected that the human-faced tree would be so disrespectful to her and even drag her away to be used as nutrients.
"How could I have known that this human-faced tree was so cruel that it would even use me, a member of its own kind, as nutrients." The Bone Girl said with a depressed look on her face.
At this moment, seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the human-faced tree and that it was about to become its nourishment, the Bone Girl shouted to Wang Qingliu again, "Hey, Mr. Wang, can you please stop talking for a while? Please help me quickly. I don't want to become the nourishment of this ghostly human-faced tree. Even if I have to die, I want to die with dignity."
After hearing this, Wang Qingliu ran over and helped her cut the human-faced vine while pouting, "You're almost dead, and you still have so many demands. Aren't you annoying?"
After saying that, he chopped the vine that was holding the bone girl's legs with force.
Only a scream was heard from the bone girl, and the whole skeleton fell to the ground and immediately broke into several pieces.
Wang Qingliu was stunned when he saw this. After a while, the bones on the ground suddenly moved, and soon after, the bones crawled towards the bone girl and pieced themselves back together.
"Okay, it's okay again." After the splicing was completed, the bone girl moved her body. Except for the occasional creaking sound, her skeleton was safe and sound.
On the other side, Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai finally cut down the human-faced vines that were flying towards them.
There were rows of cut vines lying on the ground. The scary thing was that after these vines fell, they kept oozing human blood. After a while, they dyed the ground under their feet red.
After seeing those half-cut vines go back, the large human-faced tree in front of them began to become even more restless.
Gu Mingtai immediately took Zhang Meng's hand, turned around and shouted to his men behind him, "Stop chopping, leave this place quickly, it's not safe."
