The legend of Tiga

Chapter 1933 Demonic Tree and Ghost Vine
Village chief Yamada's words were very brief, but they gave people a general idea of ​​what was happening here.

Jingtian Jinglong, who had been staying in the Demon-Slaying Sword waiting to become a Buddha or dissipate, suddenly noticed that the seal of Erdao Mountain had loosened, causing the resentment of the vengeful spirits to leak out. After checking on the spot, Jingtian Jinglong discovered that whether it was because it had been too long or for other reasons, the seal was in very bad condition and could collapse at any time.

From the leaked resentment, Jingtian Jinglong judged that the strength of the vengeful spirit was probably even stronger than Sukuna Demon a few years ago. Therefore, in order to prevent the vengeful spirit from running out and wreaking havoc on the world, Jingtian Jinglong asked the village chief Yamada to insert the demon-slaying sword into the eye of the seal, so that he could add some "weight" to the seal to prevent the seal from being knocked open by the vengeful spirit.

Originally, Jingtian Jinglong's plan was to suppress it for a while, wait for Qianye Makoto to come back, and then let Qianye Makoto deal with it. However, not long after the demon-slaying sword was inserted, strange phenomena began to appear in the village.

First, many villagers discovered that there were always things moving outside their windows and in their yards at night. Soon, some villagers got lost on the road they had walked for most of their lives, or even disappeared.

When village chief Yamada realized that it might be the work of a vengeful spirit, he wanted to go up the mountain to check on the Demon-Slaying Sword, but he was unable to set foot on Mount Two Swords. No matter which way he took, he would always inexplicably return to the foot of the mountain.

"Then why don't you contact TPC?" Kihi Tsunosuke couldn't help but ask. So many strange things have happened, and Village Chief Yamada is an insider and knows what is going on. Why doesn't he call for help?

Village Chief Yamada glanced at Kibi Kosuke and said, "Can you solve it?"

"I" Kibi Gangsuke couldn't help but glance at Chiba Makoto next to him, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Our Super Victory Team exists to solve these supernatural phenomena."

Although they are definitely not as good as Tiga, it doesn't mean that they should give up and lie down.

What kind of monster can withstand a few Max cannon shots?

However, Village Chief Yamada obviously didn't think so. He kept his eyes on Qianye Cheng and said, "Please go up the mountain to see Mr. Jingtian. When he was in charge of the formation, his condition was already very bad. Even if we lit three incense sticks for him every day, it seemed that he was about to disappear. Now... we don't know how he is doing."

As he spoke, Village Chief Yamada let out a deep sigh, his anxiety and worry evident in his words.

Obviously, with so many strange phenomena appearing near Nidao Mountain, it was obvious that the vengeful spirits were exerting their power, which meant that Jingtian Jinglong, who pressed himself forward, failed to suppress the vengeful spirits as he wished.

But this cannot be blamed on Jingtian Jinglong's inability. It's just that he is too weak. Even his soul can hardly condense. He is on the verge of dissipating, but he is still struggling to fight against the vengeful spirits that have accumulated resentment for hundreds or thousands of years, just to protect the peace of one side.

Although we have never met each other, just from this story, we can see the great personality of Jingtian Jinglong, no, it is the soul.

After hearing this, Kihiko Tsunesuke was filled with admiration, and felt that this ancient demon hunter was just as great as the Super Victory Team.

After asking the village chief Yamada for the detailed location of the center of the formation, Chiba Makoto and Kihi Gosuke prepared to go up the mountain to find the demon-slaying sword.

Village chief Yamada only knows a general idea and is not clear about the situation of the vengeful spirits in the mountains. Only by finding Jingtian Jinglong can he get the full picture.

After leaving the Yamada Hut, we walked onto the rugged mountain road, which was winding like a snake and jagged like canine teeth. There were cliffs and steep cliffs from time to time. It was quite steep and full of excitement.

On a road like this, it is difficult for even human legs to walk, let alone vehicles.

"This mountain road is really difficult to walk on." Kihi Gosuke was breathing heavily. Time is unforgiving. Although he still insists on exercising, how can he compare with young and strong young people in terms of physical fitness? Look, Chiba Makoto hasn't even started sweating yet, but Kihi Gosuke is already breathing heavily.

At this moment, Kihiko Tsunade really wanted to ask, does the formation have to be set up on the top of the mountain?
Village chief Yamada told them that the center of the formation that sealed the vengeful spirits was at the left peak of Mount Nito.

After saying that, Kibi Gosuke was stunned and his expression changed because he thought of a question.

I am not even 50 years old, and I still find it so difficult to walk on this mountain road even though I keep exercising. How did the village chief Yamada, who is nearly 70 years old and walks with a cane, climb up?
"Yamada. He's lying to us? Why?"

Chiba Makoto stopped and his expression changed.

If Yamada was lying, why did he lie?
Trick them to the top of Zuofeng Mountain and prevent them from finding the demon-slaying sword possessed by Jingtian Jinglong?

But the problem is that the demon-slaying sword can't even suppress the vengeful spirits, so what if it is found?
Unless, Jingtian Jinglong has mastered the important flaw of the vengeful spirit.

But if a vengeful spirit has wisdom, it is no longer a vengeful spirit.

So, is all this again the work of the mastermind behind the scenes?
So is Yamada also controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes?
Thinking of the flower-bud-like "person" he met at the entrance of the village, Qianye Cheng felt that this incident might involve not only vengeful spirits, but also "plants" mixed in.

plant?

Chiba Makoto was startled, then turned his head and glanced around.

All I saw was lush greenery everywhere, so full of vitality, it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer when all things flourish.

But this luxuriance made Qianye Cheng feel more and more that something was wrong the more he looked at it.

When I first stayed on that mountain, there was not even a blade of grass, but there were also dead trees and sparse vegetation.

It is a little abnormal that the vegetation on Erdao Mountain is so lush even though it has been contaminated by the resentment of the vengeful spirits for such a long time.

Resentment is classified as a type of negative energy because it is harmful to life, including but not limited to animals and plants.

On the contrary, what is beneficial to life is naturally positive energy.

Therefore, in a place where the negative energy is so high that it can distort time and space, plants can still grow so lushly, which is even more incredible than cells that can still survive normally even when soaked in formalin.

At this moment, a "rustle!" sound was heard in the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road, causing Chiba Makoto to immediately pick up the Brest pistol and aim to the side, and then Kibi Tsunade also raised his gun and aimed at the other side.

No one shot, because the sound of "Swish! Swish!" was moving forward quickly, and it was obvious that the "thing" making the sound was running through the forest at a very fast speed.

"what?"

"It sounds like a long, thin object."

"Could it be a snake?"

"Even if it's a python, it can't run that fast."

"How to do?"

"Go and see."

But just as Qianye Cheng finished speaking, the "rustle!" sound in the dense forest turned into a sharp "whoosh."

And there was more than one sound. Gray vine-like objects suddenly sprang out from multiple directions, spinning like drills and rushing towards Chiba Makoto and Kihi Gosuke on the road.

The situation looked like more than ten snakes hunting together. The scene was quite spectacular, but it was full of dangers for Kihiko Tsunade who was in it.

"Dodge!"

Kibi Kosuke yelled and fell to the side, totally ignoring the dirt on the ground.

At the same time, the Brest pistol in his hand fired continuously, shooting out laser beams that hit the snake-like vines flying in the air.

boom! boom! boom!
A series of explosions sounded, and flowers of fire bloomed in the air, almost forming a string. It can be seen how fast the shooting speed is and how high the accuracy is.

Chiba Makoto on the side was no less impressive, his Brest pistol also fired at a very fast rate, but he did not pounce, instead he moved with extraordinary agility, dodging the incoming vines, and at the same time completing precise shooting, blasting the incoming vines one by one in mid-air, shattering them into a mass of twisted dough.
In just two or three seconds, the vines that rushed over from the dense woods on both sides were cleared away, turning into countless fragments flying in the air, and turning into a deafening roar that echoed throughout the mountain.

call!
Xibigang let out a long breath and got up from the ground, saying, "Safe!"

While speaking, he had taken out an energy magazine from his belt and inserted it into the almost empty Brest pistol. His eyes were still vigilantly scanning the surroundings to prevent new attacks.

"Let's go and catch up."

Chiba Makoto rushed into the dense forest as soon as possible, and changed the magazine while running, which was generally prohibited. The correct way should be to find a cover after emptying the bullet, change the magazine behind the cover, and then make plans.

However, the other party had the confidence to do so, so Kibi Gosuke could not find any fault and could only run behind them, trudging through the lush vegetation.

"Did you find anything?"

"Follow the clues and find out what it is."

As Chiba Makoto spoke, he suddenly raised his gun, but instead of pulling the trigger, he stopped.

Kihiko Tsōsuke was feeling strange, and then he ran over and saw the situation in front of him. He immediately opened his eyes wide and understood why Chiba Makoto stopped.

Because in the dense bushes ahead, there were gray vines as thick as a child's arm entwined one after another, but what was shocking was that at the roots of these vines, there were human faces revealed.

The vines are entwined with each other, forming a cage-like structure at the bottom, trapping a person inside. Only a hole is left that is big enough for the face. The person's head is exposed outside, looking in a fixed direction with lifeless eyes.

"This this."

Kibi Tsunade was so shocked that he couldn't even speak clearly. There were too many people in front of him, he couldn't see the end at a glance, let alone count them. Judging from their faces, there were weathered old people and young people.

Some of them should be nearby villagers, but some are TPC employees.

Because Kihiko Tsunosuke had recognized the two people. They were his former subordinates who had participated in the search and rescue two days ago and disappeared with the rescue team. He didn't expect to see them here, trapped in the vines.

"Tanaka, Matsushita." Kibi Gosuke shouted and immediately went forward to rescue them.

However, an arm raised at the side stopped Kibi Tsunosuke's actions.

"Don't go over there, you can't save them."

"why?"

"Look closely, they're growing together with the vines."

Upon hearing this, Kibi Tsunade looked carefully and discovered that long, thin strips as thin as hair extended from the vines and pierced into the blood vessels of these people.

I don't know what it is, but it's definitely not a good thing.

This also means that these people are indeed "grown" together with the vines. At least before these "needles" are dealt with, they must not move rashly. Otherwise, if they bleed profusely, even gods will not be able to save them.

This made Kibi Gosuke very anxious, and he asked, "What should we do then?"

Qianye Cheng said in a deep voice: "It is definitely not the work of that vengeful spirit to string so many humans together. It must be someone else."

"Damn it!"

Kibi Tsunade gnashed his teeth. The scene before him made him extremely angry. What did this guy think of him?

"Could it be Kirino Makuo?"

Although he was angry, Kibi Tsunade's IQ was still online. He immediately thought that such a sophisticated operation was not something that ordinary people could do. However, a spacecraft crashed here two days ago, and inside it was Makuo Kirino, who had unparalleled telekinesis.

After he finished speaking, he realized that there was ambiguity here, and quickly added: "I mean, could it be that he is possessed or controlled?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"

Chiba Cheng carefully observed this large "sea of ​​people". They were all trapped in a cage woven by vines. The vines grew from the soil, wrapped around the trees, and extended to the branches before changing direction and connecting with the vines of the surrounding trees. In other words, although there were so many vines in front of them, they were connected to each other.

It's like a big net.

net--

network?

grid?

If people are considered nodes, then these vines are equivalent to lines.

Chiba Makoto couldn't help but think of the classic movie "The Matrix", in which humans are used as biological batteries.

Coincidentally, an incident that absorbed negative energy from human hearts occurred some time ago, and this led to another incident that connected people together.

Coincidence?
A bad guess flashed through Chiba Makoto's mind.

"Contact headquarters and carry out emergency rescue."

"But communications are interrupted here."

“It’s okay, I can get in touch.”

Before Chiba Makoto could finish his words, the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently, causing the trees to sway left and right.

"Is there an earthquake?" Kibi Tsunade was almost knocked to the ground by mistake, while Chiba Makoto next to him stood as steady as a rock. After shaking for a while, he turned his head to look to the right.

I saw that the mountain was shaking violently, and the ground was collapsing and cracking. Huge rocks were falling off the rocks and freely falling, making loud rumbling noises.

As the mountain collapsed, a huge human figure gradually emerged, standing in the dust, with thick vines like chains wrapped around his body, connected to the collapsed mountain, to the ground beneath his feet, and even more connected to the body of this huge figure.

"Monster?"

"No, it's a vengeful spirit. It broke through the seal and came out."

Chiba Makoto answered Kibi Gosuke's question, but he looked up at the sky and said, "We can contact the headquarters now. The fog has dissipated."
