Chapter 17 The sneak attack of the black shadow Ye Lu once again used a very surprised look...
Ye Lu once again looked at the ghost scholar with a surprised look. It had only been a short while, but Ah Gui's cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds. How should I put it? Smart and capable people can learn anything very quickly.
Ye Lu was deeply touched by this matter. The ghost scholar always said that he was not very talented. In fact, apart from his awakened talent, his brain was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
"That's fine." The ghost scholar said as usual and nodded calmly.
"Have dinner before going to bed." The ghost scholar looked up at Ye Lu again and reminded him. He was not at all confident in his Taoist master. How long had he awakened his talent? He had been pointing the way all the way. The Son of Taishan God could not use his talent like this. When he saw him just now, his Taoist master was almost becoming an immortal. He was so weak. Now that he had rested, his face looked much better.
"It's okay, the ghost power has almost recovered." Ye Lu shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary. In order to prevent the ghost scholar from continuing to persuade him, he sat back on the ground first and waved his hand.
Well, the attitude has been made clear, and the ghost scholar knows that it is useless to persuade him any further.
So I gave up.
"Also, tonight is our first time in this village. I will be on guard tonight." Ye Lu was naturally not unaware of other people's good intentions. He looked at the ghost scholar and slowly stated his intentions.
The ghost scholar paused, then he looked up at Ye Lu, as if trying to figure out the intention behind his master's words.
It’s a pity that after Ye Lu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and didn’t want to reveal anything.
"That village..." The ghost scholar frowned, thinking of the guard team. Did his master say that something unexpected might happen tonight?
When Ye Lu heard this, he didn't even raise his eyelids and said, "Don't worry, Helan and the others are all very smart. They noticed something was wrong from the beginning. But the water and vegetables in this village are indeed fine. We all need them. Come in first and you can take a look later."
"There are probably the most guards tonight." Ye Lu said with a smile on his face.
It seemed that he was overthinking it. Indeed, his master was not a careless person. The ghost scholar understood instantly and realized that he was overthinking it. Since it was all within the expectations of this group of people, he was too lazy to think about it. Dinner was just over, so he went back to the carriage to sleep first.
Oh, by the way, tonight Ximingren also raised his hand to indicate that he would also keep watch.
The ghost scholar rolled his eyes and ignored them, letting them do as they pleased.
That night.
Ye Lu and his men kept watch all night long. They spread a layer of hay on the ground and guarded this section of the team. When the guards saw the two of them coming out tonight, they just glanced at them from a distance and ignored them.
At night, the moonlight is just right.
After entering the forest, they could see the moon. The bright moonlight sprinkled on everyone and they could even feel a hint of coolness. Because of this, Ye Lu and the playboys were not uncomfortable keeping watch. Drinking water from time to time, Ye Lu slowly looked at the playboys opposite him and gestured.
"You ask me what's wrong?" Ye Lu looked at him for a long time. The Ximing man didn't like to talk. He just made vague sounds and gestures. It seemed that Ye Lu knew him well enough to tell what he meant from his actions and slowly understood it himself.
The playful man nodded.
Ye Lu smiled and said, "Very good."
"Don't worry, it's not what Ah Gui thinks. I was weak when I used my innate talent before because the ground veins of those heavens and earth were not strong. It took me a lot of energy just to communicate with them. The ground veins of this world are different. They are very powerful." Ye Lu found that Xi Mingren had a serious expression and was really worried, so he started to explain. It would be better to say that the ground veins helped him replenish a lot of strange power, so he could recover so quickly.
"Okay, take a nap first." Seeing that the ghost scholar was about to say something, Ye Lu waved his hand, indicating that he should stop talking for now.
The playful man puffed up his cheeks, looking a little unhappy but did not refute. He crossed his arms and listened to Ye Lu's words, going to take a nap first.
Under the moonlight, the tall and slender man leaned against a big rock with his eyes closed, and at first glance he seemed to be quite obedient.
Ye Lu looked at the bonfire in front of him, poking it with a branch from time to time. Sparks from the resin exploded and crackled as the night gradually deepened.
Deep in the village, a dark shadow that had been lurking slowly poked its head out. Its slender tentacles firmly grasped the ground, and it used the ground to sense everything in the village.
Today, new blood food arrived in its hunting grounds, and it tasted delicious.
The black shadow slowly extended its tentacles and waited quietly. It didn't know how long it had been. When it felt the hunting ground slowly becoming quiet, it moved.
The playful man opened his eyes for the first time and looked fiercely towards a dark corner.
There is something.
In the dark shadows, a large object was vaguely visible, and it slowly showed its head in the moonlight.
The two of them also took this opportunity to see its appearance.
It was a strange thing that looked like a vine.
The pale roots and pitch-black vines have spots of white, and some of the black is mixed with a hint of blood, and you can almost smell a hint of blood.
At the bottom of the vine, a painful human face appeared, with two lines of blood and tears falling, as if the person was weeping in pain.
That's not the point.
From the moment Tu Teng Yuan appeared, Xi Mingren and Ye Lu looked solemn.
This vine's strange cultivation level is actually at the Huangli level.
Ye Lu narrowed his eyes, his expression serious, and said: "I was wondering why the people of such a village fled. It turns out that there is such a big weird thing waiting nearby. If they didn't flee, the whole village would probably be eaten by this thing."
The playful man did not say anything. He subconsciously stood in front of Ye Lu and flipped his slender fingers, and the dominoes appeared in his palm.
The appearance around Ye Lu and the others seemed to be a signal. After them, strange vines of varying sizes appeared in front of the fleeing teams of the entire village.
"Dodder?" The stone magician recognized the monster's identity at the first moment. His expression was solemn. Although he was prepared, he didn't expect that the monster would be so difficult to deal with.
"This weird creature has many clones, strange moves, and likes blood. You must not let it get close to you."
"Once it gets close, even a Qingyou-level magician will be useless. It will grab the flesh and blood of its prey and parasitize it directly. The consciousness of the parasitized person will be controlled by it and transformed into a new avatar."
The stone magician quickly told all the information he knew about the Dodder.
“It’s afraid of fire.”
"Besides being difficult to deal with in close combat, the only other feature of it is that it is difficult to kill. Its combat power is not that strong."
Helan was already ready. The stone magician quickly threw several talismans into the air. The talismans moved when they met the wind and turned into special strange forces that stuck to the guards standing in front of them to protect them from the strange erosion.
Helan was much more serious, with a light grey light flashing in his hand, and he could still answer the stone magician's words, saying: "Got it."
The next second, countless blue-black vines swarmed wildly on the ground like pythons, rushing towards the humans in front of them, trying to suck their flesh and blood.
"Come on!" Helan took the lead. She put her hands on the ground. As the light gray light approached the ground, countless hard stones jumped up from the ground, crushing the vines like a meat grinder.
Then, Helan moved, and a huge hammer appeared in one of her hands.
Helan was very agile and moved her toes quickly. In just a few breaths, she appeared in front of the big dodder, raised the huge stone hammer, and smashed it down heavily.
The dodder realized something was wrong. This blood food was too abnormal. Perhaps it made it sense a hint of danger. It roared, and the light blue light paused. Its vine body became soft and tough.
Helan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he didn't care about its actions at all.
"Bang!" The hammer fell heavily, and the light green layer wrapped around the body of the vine was completely useless. The hammer was so ordinary and unremarkable, but it completely ignored the light green strange power wrapped around it and smashed hard on the body of the dodder.
One hammer after another.
Helan did not stop his actions at all, and it was obvious that he had fully understood the concept of killing the enemy while he was weak.
Those guards at the back who had combat talents used them to guard the front of the fleeing team, while those who had auxiliary talents threw their talents at Helan as if they were free.
Soon, the huge dodder was covered in blood, the juice from the smashed vines was oozing out, and its strange power dissipated.
Helan didn't stop until the dodder under the hammer stopped moving. He put down the hammer and continued to use it to dig out the corpse underneath.
"Oh? Huang Li level? Not bad." Helan vaguely recognized the strange level and said calmly.
But behind her, the stone mage's ugly expression did not ease at all.
After Helan finished speaking, he turned around and saw the expression of the stone magician.
Wait, why does Old Man Shi have this expression? Helan's smile froze on her face, and soon she realized something was wrong.
There's no other reason, this monster is just too easy to deal with.
Then I thought about what Old Man Shi said about this strange thing with many clones.
"Isn't this its main branch?" Helan's face slowly turned darker. She obviously realized that they were being fooled.
Wait, if the main branch isn’t here, where else could it be?
The next second, Helan couldn't help but say the answer in his mind: "Lu Wazi is in danger!"
"Go find Lu Wazi quickly!" The anxious voice of the stone magician followed closely.
Helan's face turned even darker. She didn't even have time to talk to the stone mage. She turned around and ran towards the direction of Ye Lu and his group's ox cart not far away without hesitation.
Damn it, this weirdo looking for blood food also knows how to find good food? Lu Wazi and his friends are the most talented kids in their village.
The playful man jumped in the air nimbly, throwing the dominoes one by one onto the green vines. The purple lightning flashed and blew the vines into pieces.
However, the vines’ recovery was beyond remarkable.
When one vine explodes, a new vine will grow around the body of the vine at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The playful man realized that this trick didn't work, so he turned over another domino to avoid the attacking vines. He swung the domino at the vine's body, and a sharp light cut through the body of the dodder, revealing the black mist that was wriggling inside.
The dodder let out a shrill cry, like the sound of vines scraping on the ground. It wanted to restore its body, but a flash of lightning attached to its wound, slowly preventing it from healing.
The playful man landed on the ground as lightly as a butterfly, the dominoes flew in his hands, and his brows furrowed.
His current strength is too weak, still only at the Baiyuan level, and he can't kill this monster at all.
