Chapter 36 The Bear Fantasy Vine was full of strangeness. It was a plant far superior to its kind...
The air was filled with weirdness.
It was a peach tree that was much taller than other trees of its kind. It was tall and strong, with thick roots, green branches and leaves, and a few reddish peaches hanging from the branches.
Just with a breath, it seems as if a fragrance mixed with strange power is rushing towards you?
"Strange plant!" The stone magician and Helan exclaimed in unison.
That peach tree was clearly a strange plant that was at least at the Huangli level.
"No, that's not right!" The stone magician realized something was wrong the next second, and the fanaticism in his eyes faded visibly. No, it was terribly wrong. Although the strange aura of this weird plant was very real, at least it was no different from the weird plants they had seen before. But, something was wrong, something was wrong. The fruits on this peach tree were hanging too stiffly.
The picture? It looks like someone pasted it there.
The stone mage looked down at the empty ground again.
"Captain Lan, look at the ground!" The stone magician glanced at Helan and the others beside him, and immediately shouted without hesitation.
Helan immediately lowered his head and found that the ground was empty, without any bloodstains.
"My goodness, it's actually a fake!" Helan understood instantly and laughed angrily, realizing that he was in an illusion. The next second, two huge stone hammers appeared in his hands.
Others also woke up as if for the first time.
Even in Qian Gouzi, this little kid instantly woke up from the tempting image of the strange plant when he saw the empty ground. In He Village, as long as the talent has been awakened, the children know that there must be countless strange corpses at the roots of the strange plant. This is determined by the nature of the strange plant.
"Old Stone, help me break this illusion!" Helan shouted loudly.
The stone magician stepped forward, and the talismans that he had prepared long ago floated around him. The talismans swayed, and one of them, a yellow talisman with a hint of blood, leaped forward, ignited without wind, and turned into a ball of burning strange power, rushing towards the huge peach tree.
The peach tree showed no sign of resistance, and the fire burned wildly as soon as it touched the peach tree.
The roots of the tree were burned black, and the branches and leaves curled and withered under the flames. The peaches on the branches were also falling, burning, blackening, and the strange power dissipated.
"This thing is still pretending to be a strange plant. Increase the intensity. I think it's finished burning. Is it still pretending?" Helan took a look and realized that it was still pretending to be a strange plant trying to lure them over. As soon as she said this, some guards in the team began to waver when they saw that the peach tree did not resist but allowed itself to be burned. Could it be that they had seen it wrong? After hearing this, they calmed down instantly.
"Who said that the strange plant won't attack?" Helan sneered and said, "You want to attack the green millet in our village? Try it, it can beat you so badly that you won't even recognize your own mother."
The Guizhi people also have the word "gui" in their name, which means they are at the top of the food chain in this world. When they come to the village, they are domesticated and worshipped, and it is a mutually beneficial relationship.
As soon as Helan said this, it was like revealing the last layer of illusion. The peach tree in front of everyone gradually dissipated. The white mist disappeared, and instead there was a huge, strong, dead tree. The vines on the dead tree coiled around like giant snakes, and the vines crawling up from the ground also looked like swimming snakes.
What is even more inviting is the roots of the dead tree.
It was completely entangled by the huge green vine, without revealing any part of its shape.
The illusion disappeared.
The smell is different.
The deep and shallow bones on the ground spanned several hundred meters. There were bones of human, strange creatures, and wild beasts. Some were big, some were small, and some even turned into broken bones and became nutrients in the soil.
"Oh, it's a weird creature that is about to reach the Qingyou level." Helan looked it up and down with a smile in her tone. She was not afraid at all. On the contrary, she looked eager to try. Originally, she was facing three weird plants of the same level alone without being at a disadvantage. Now, she had the stone magician to assist her, but she still couldn't kill the Huangli level. She might as well die.
"Everyone listen up!"
"Qian Gouzi and Lu Wazi, stay aside and be good to me. Xiao Shiyi, look after those two kids. Everyone else, come here. Lao Shitou, help me paint some talismans. Don't worry, I'll ask the village elders to provide you with materials when we go back." Helan said loudly and logically. She simply excluded Ye Lu and Qian Gouzi from the battle. Instead, Xi Mingren was dragged out.
It can be seen that Helan attaches great importance to people with good fortune.
Ye Lu and Qian Gouzi looked at each other and silently stepped back. He Shiyi, the cousin who was like a big dog, agreed with Aunt Lan's words and protected the two of them to a corner. That was the case. One of the two kids was a supporting role, and the other was seriously injured and had not yet recovered. It was not a matter of life and death, and there were so many people involved.
Look, Ah Xi is gone.
When Xi Mingren heard his name, his eyes lit up. He saw Ye Lu's expression change and was left there. The dominoes in his hand changed at his fingertips, hiding the smile on his lips. He went to Helan in a very good mood.
Looking at his appearance, Ye Lu thought that if it wasn't for hiding his true character, he would probably have twisted his waist.
The stone magician was not stingy with the talismans in his hand. He applied the talismans to all the tricksters approaching the front equally. Helan, Xi Mingren, Deputy Commander Bai, all of them had thin flames coming out of their bodies.
Ye Lu and the other man squinted their eyes to watch the battle situation in the distance.
Helan took the lead, she ignored the vines that were dancing wildly and rushing towards her. Whenever the vines came over, a thin stone wall would automatically appear in front of her to block the vines' attack. The Ximing people were very fast and agile, and they did not get caught in the vines. Every time they encountered a vine, they would just tap their toes and soar into the air as light as the wind. As for Deputy Commander Bai, his whole body was on fire. His flames were the hottest among the three people, and the vines attacking him were the least.
Helan attacked the roots, Xi ordered his men to attack the vines above, and Deputy Commander Bai attacked the vines that scattered in all directions. The three of them cooperated seamlessly.
The stone mage would add vines from time to time in the back.
"Boom!!!" Ye Lu finished reading and was about to speak to Qian Gouzi when suddenly there was a huge boom. He looked up and went to the place where the sound came from. He saw Helan smashing the ground with a stone hammer, creating two large holes in the ground. The vines could not block it and half of the tree roots were exposed.
Ye Lu’s teeth hurt from watching this.
Deputy Commander Bai was not much behind and equally strong. He was not afraid of the attacking vines at all. He simply grabbed them with one hand, then exerted force with his arms, tensing up his arm muscles and pulling the vines so hard that they could not move. The vines even squeaked, unable to bear the weight.
"How can our village be so strong?" Ye Lu felt sad. He was kind-hearted. Among the three people, Ximing Man was actually the gentler one. This was quite magical. Ye Lu didn't even dare to look at them any more. He turned around and asked Qian Gouzi.
Qian Gouzi was looking around to see if there was anything that touched him. When he heard Ye Lu's question, he followed his gaze and saw the battle scene. His face did not change, and he said in a puzzled tone: "Isn't it like this in our village?"
"Maybe the leader and deputy leader are stronger." Qian Gouzi thought Ye Lu was a little uncomfortable, so he tried to comfort him: "This time the two leaders have lost a lot of strength, probably because they are facing a plant monster and are worried that there will be strange plants around it. Otherwise, in the past, they would have just started chopping."
"Oh, we can do this in the future."
"Eat more green millet. You will be stronger." Qian Gouzi nodded seriously as he said this. He had seen the leaders rounding up the enemy many times, and this time he was really weak.
In fact, it is just as Qian Gouzi said.
The battle ended much later than Ye Lu had estimated.
When the giant vine was killed, the entire vine remained intact. This was very rare for Helan and Deputy Commander Bai. The Ximing people even only pulled the vine.
Ye Lu fully understood what Qian Gouzi meant by being careful.
After a while, Helan's dissatisfied voice came from the other side: "No, this dead tree is just an ordinary tree. It has no magical power. It just grew bigger. Maybe one day it will be lucky enough to become a magical plant. It's a pity that it was eaten by the bear vine halfway through its growth."
Helan tore apart the main body of the Bear Fantasy Vine and tried to see the dead tree. She carefully cut off half of the dead tree and caught one part. The half that fell from the air was caught by Deputy Commander Bai. The huge dead tree was easily dealt with by two people, and nothing was left.
"That Bear Fantasy Vine is useless!" Deputy Commander Bai looked unhappy. He just took a look at the condition of the Bear Fantasy Vine. He even tried to pull open the center of the vine, thinking there would be seeds or something. He never expected that there was nothing. This Bear Fantasy Vine could not be eaten. It was just a weird thing.
"Impossible, how can it pretend to be so real?" Helan said in disbelief. She looked down at the half-dead tree she was dragging and wondered, "Could it be that this tree is really a spooky plant?"
Did she see it wrong?
Thinking of the possibility of a strange plant being eaten alive, Helan looked at the corpse of the bear fantasy vine not far away, and his eyes gradually became ferocious.
No, that's not right.
Ye Lu had the same thought at first. Could that dead tree be a dead strange plant? Dead trees were really too deceptive. But his intuition told him that it was not the right one. The smell he smelled was not coming from here.
"Gouzi, can you still feel the white mist? Find the weakest and most empty place." After Xiong Huanteng died, the white mist in the forest gradually disappeared but there was still some space left. When Ye Lu saw the white mist, he thought of something and turned his head to ask Qian Gouzi who was standing beside him.
Qian Gouzi was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Okay, this white mist is not a good thing. According to my innate perception, Brother Ye, come with me."
"Brother Eleven!" Ye Lu followed without hesitation, and He Shiyi followed without even having to shout.
Qian Gouzi walked fast, as if he had known where there was less fog. First, he stood firm. Ye Lu closed his eyes and sensed it. After a moment, he opened his eyes and slowly shook his head. No, the smell he sensed was not here.
Qian Gouzi? Heading non-stop towards the next one, Ye Lu sensed that it was not the one either.
After searching for three or four in a row, Ye Lu opened his eyes again at a gap in the white fog farthest from the Bear Fantasy Vine. He was a little suspicious whether he had sensed it wrongly, as why he hadn't found it yet. Qian Gouzi said that this was the last one, and Ye Lu's heart sank slowly.
The smell of grass mixed with the smell of rot!
Yes, that’s the smell!
Ye Lu opened his eyes and said happily: "Yes, this is it!"
Ye Lu raised his head and looked around. It was empty. It was just like an ordinary forest. After looking around, he walked in one direction without hesitation. The other four people had already seen the movements of the three little ones here, and they also hurried over.
Ye Lu looked serious. Others did not dare to disturb him and just followed him obediently.
Until we reach a cave?
