Cannibalism

Several people discussed to split up to find the black bear who kidnapped the piranha.Xie Nan and Xie Sheng are responsible for searching the east-west direction, and Runyuan and Runshen are responsible for the north-south direction.Yong Chuan was assigned to guard Lujia Village. If there was any problem in the village, he had to contact the other four people by sending messages.

Yong Chuan held a short copper Zhu that Xie Sheng gave him, lowered his head and fiddled with it: "How should I use it?"

This Zhu was a few sizes smaller than the ones he had seen, more like a gadget for children to play with than a musical instrument.

Xie Sheng tapped on both ends of Zhu's body, and did a demonstration: "If you tap like this, I can hear it. This copper Zhu recognizes its owner. If you tap the password I set with it correctly, it will send the message to you." Pass it to me from afar."

After Xie Sheng finished speaking, he threw another copper stone to Runyuan and Runshen: "The tones of the Tongzhu and these stones are in harmony. When the Tongzhu vibrates, you can also feel the news of Yongchuan."

"Thank you chivalrous man." Runyuan Runshen put the copper stone into his arms, "Then we're off."

Rumbling--

There was a sudden explosion in their ears, and everyone immediately looked towards the mountains not far to the east.It didn't know when it became overcast and cloudy, and there were thousands of thunderbolts flashing purple light, and they shuttled quickly in the low sky.

"What's going on?" Run Yuan jumped to a high stone to look out, but unfortunately the eastern border was covered by thick clouds in a large area of ​​darkness, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

At the same time, a gust of wind blew violently from the east, blowing down all the straw and firewood piled outside the house, and the sundries in the village were crackling and rolling around, creating a layer of choking flying soil, and everyone hurriedly raised their sleeves Block the wind and sand.

The gust of wind came and went quickly, and if it hadn't stopped in time, the closed gate might have collapsed.

Xie Sheng patted the dust off his body, his expression suddenly turned cold, he raised his eyebrows and stared ahead: "There is the smell of Aren in the east."

After speaking, he flew directly to the place of lightning and thunder.

Except for Yong Chuan who stayed behind in Lujia Village, everyone followed in Xie Sheng's footsteps.

The closer you get to the place where the thick clouds gather, the darker and drowsier the sky becomes.They were worried that they would be struck by lightning if they flew too high, so they had to take off their light function and use their feet to explore the way.

There are many trees with dense branches and leaves growing around, and a pile of green leaves fell to the ground with the wind, making a hissing sound when stepped on.

"This place is very weird." Run Yuan pushed aside a clump of low branches that blocked his view, "There is no such dense forest in other places, and there is no sunlight at all... How come these leaves are so green and full of nutrients?" Where did it come from?"

Xie Sheng walked in the forefront: "Compared with this question, I want to know where the land god is. If there is a land god, we won't be as confused as we are now."

Xie Nan sniffed the air around him, and frowned: "The closer you are to the center of the thunder and lightning, the weaker the smell of Yuanshiren. This place is full of evil spirits, and the flower god may have fallen into the hands of monsters, and the smell has been masked."

"I think it's the same." The long sword in Run Yuan's hand roared, and he glanced at the silver-lighted sword, and said, "The Yanguang held by Hua Nong and my junior brother are twin swords. When encountering a monster that has not cultivated into a god, it will accompany and sing. Now that the sound it makes is so strong, it seems that there is a big monster living inside."

Run Shen asked: "Since the two knights have a keen sense of smell, can they smell the god's scent? I think the land god here should not be far away."

"No." Xie Nan said regretfully, "Divine power is not something we ordinary monsters can easily peek at, and no amount of equal laws can change this fact."

Xie Sheng: "If I could feel the divine power of the Flower God, I wouldn't have thought of Ah Ren as a flower that harmed a shemale."

"At the beginning, a fairy once said: God bestows consciousness, there are eight hundred bears, and only one of them will be chosen." Run Shen met with the two people in front of him with a faint sense of self-blame, and comforted him, "You beast race, eight hundred bears Only one of them can only cultivate spiritual consciousness. It is very difficult to have spiritual consciousness, let alone cultivate divine power, it is really difficult to reach the sky."

"Being a god requires a steady stream of offerings." Thinking of Yuan Shiren's identity, Runyuan couldn't help but wonder, "I don't know what kind of good deeds this piranha has done to get people's offerings. If I Said, people should enshrine your monster clan on Tianyan Mountain."

Xie Sheng and Xie Nan were not tigers greedy for supernatural power.They didn't say much on the topic.

Xie Nan suddenly stopped, looked back at the forest that he had just passed, and asked in confusion, "How do I feel... those trees have grown much taller in an instant?"

A gust of evil wind blew by, the branches and leaves swayed, and then stood still again.

Run Yuan poked the nearest slanted branch with his sword and lowered it to his waist.He looked up and down carefully: "After what the senior said, it seems that it is indeed a little different from just now."

Runshen shouted, "Look!"

This branch probably understood what they said, and didn't intend to pretend anymore. The branch instantly grew and extended, and many buds grew on it.It lowered its waist, turned out from under Runyuan's sword, trembled, and its branches stood upright in an instant, stretching out five fingers like a human palm, and grabbed Runyuan's face with lightning speed.

Run Yuan dodged sideways, and slashed forward with his sword, the branch broke in two.Seeing that the danger had been eliminated, Run Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, but at this moment, he heard Xie Sheng say: "Be careful!"

When he looked up, it turned out that the surrounding trees had all changed, and the group of demons were swaying from side to side as if dancing wildly.The branches stretched out from the ends, and they stretched out their claws in front of him danglingly.

Runshen hastily held his sword across his chest to block the strange branch's attack.He wanted to dodge backwards, but found that his heels seemed to be dragged by something.

He looked down and found that there was a suction nozzle growing on the tip of every grass, which firmly stuck to the sole of his shoe.

"Take off your shoes." At this moment, Run Yuan felt his body sink. It turned out that Xie Sheng lifted his shoulders, trying to pull him from the ground into the air.

Fortunately, Run Yuan didn't miss the cloth boots that his junior brother woven for him any more. He stepped on the right boot with his left foot, lifted his leg, and flew up from the ground.

Rumbling--

Another thunderbolt and lightning passed by.

The four of them could only jump from the air at the risk of being struck by lightning to avoid the attacks of these monsters.

They finally stopped on a jagged rock.Xie Sheng put down Run Yuan who had lost one of his boots, and said: "It should be some ancient tree that has become a spirit and set up these traps around. This kind of trap is very common, so I have summed up some experience, you should remember it : To avoid being entangled by branches, even if you are entangled, you must learn to give up your belongings in time. It is better to cherish your own life than to be greedy for money."

Runyuan Runshen clasped his fists at the same time to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Tiger Clan."

Xie Nan pointed to a place: "There is a lot of evil spirits there, we should go and have a look."

"It seems that there are still fighting sounds." Xie Sheng flew over at low altitude without any hesitation, and muttered to himself, "Aren, don't make any accidents, I'll come to rescue you right away."

They rushed to the boundary in the center of the black cloud, and they felt that the evil spirit became more and more dense.

Runyuan Runshen's twin long swords hummed and trembled.

Looking through layers of bushes, they suddenly saw a figure in black hanging in the air on the low bank by the river. When they got closer, they found that it was a handsome man with thorny vines tightly tied around his body. I couldn't move my whole body.He raised his head and blushed, as if he was almost out of breath.

The four of them didn't think much, and immediately waved their weapons and flew out.Xie Nan's sharp folding fan, Xie Sheng's octopus-like phantom like a tiger's claw, and Runyuan Runshen's twin long swords all chopped at the vines strangling the man's body.

There was a sound of "shua", sparks that were more dazzling than lightning flashed across the sky, and four fierce murderous auras brushed past the man.

It's a pity that those vines didn't get hit, they dodged quickly, and started to turn around and run away like snakes and scorpions.But only Xie Sheng's tiger claw phantom would turn and scratch their claws when they ran away in a panic.

Several barbs fell from the vine and fell to the ground.

After these vines disappeared, the long-lost sunlight shone from the sky, and the oppressive clouds, lightning and thunder disappeared.

A cloudless sky.It seemed that the thunderbolt and lightning just now were all dreams.

The man in black knelt down while clutching his chest, greedily breathing in the fresh air.

Xie Sheng looked up at the blue sky, and stroked the back of his head in surprise: "Huh? Are you running away now?"

"Are you alright?" Xie Nan asked with concern, "How could you be attacked by these rattan monsters?"

The man in black coughed, and it took a while before he said, "What? What monster?"

Xie Sheng picked up the barbs that fell from the vines, squinted his eyes and looked carefully: "Just now I was too far away to see clearly, and now I look at it... Strange, why do I feel like I have seen these things before... "

Run Yuan took back the Hua Nong sword, and wanted to put it back into the scabbard, but the sword vibrated again—louder and faster than the previous few times.

"Om..."

"The evil monster didn't escape!" Run Yuan exclaimed, "The dryad is still lurking around."

Xie Nan's expression froze, he took half a step back, and stared at the man in black in front of him warily.

Xie Sheng also sensed something was wrong, he and his brother had a good understanding, and immediately looked at the man in black, not forgetting to stroke the sharp barbs with his fingertips.

"You, what are you kidding? I'm not a monster, I'm—"

Xie Nan had already used his spying skills to find out the real identity of the man in black, so why would he wait for the other party to quibble.Xie Nan threw out the hidden weapon Jiugaoya, hitting the vital point directly.

The man in black turned around to avoid it, but was still hit by the arrow.He didn't want to fight, and he knew that no one would listen to his arguments, so he waved his hands and let out a cloud of misty smoke, and fled in a hurry.

The four of them were not familiar with the surrounding terrain, so they could only let the man in black escape.

At this time, Xie Sheng's expression had changed, and he finally recalled where he had seen these barbs before.

——On the real body of the iris flower.

When he calmed down now, Xie Sheng suddenly realized that there was an aura from Ren Toshiro coming from the direction where the vines were fleeing.

He looked in the direction of receding towards the rattan with a complex expression.

As far as the eyes can see, there is only a circle of ruined walls, and a few dark caves are carved in the ruins.

A haystack in front of a cave suddenly moved.

The young man who was looking for everyone got out from the haystack.

The young man's face was stained with grass leaves, his eyes were resentful, and his cheeks bulged aggressively.He glared at Xie Sheng, and asked, "Xie Sheng, do you still suspect that I am a witch-hunter?"

Xie Sheng hadn't shown his timidity like this for 800 years.

He faltered for a long time: "I'm not. I, I didn't...I didn't doubt you..."

As if knowing that his explanation was unreliable, the more he talked, the lower his voice became.

"You're still quibbling." The boy rolled up his sleeves, revealing a trace of blood that looked like a cat scratched it, "Look, you were the one who scratched it."
