to blame

There was a fluttering sound above the head, and a little fluffy thing fell from the sky, and landed on Ming Xia's legs with a chirping sound, startling the two people who were concentrating on hiding themselves.

It was a squirrel, whose body was not as big as Ming Xia's palm, with tawny fur and three gray and black stripes on its back.

It got up dizzily, looked up and saw Ming Xia, the fur all over its body exploded, turned around and ran away as if it had seen a ghost, and then... slammed into Nan Jiang's arms.

Ming Xia, "..."

Nanjiang, "..."

Qingqiu fell beside Ming Xia, pointed at the squirrel with the tip of his wing angrily and said: "Bad elements!"

The squirrel nestled beside Nanjiang's legs in a daze, not daring to move, its eyes turning back and forth in horror.

"I can see clearly!" Qingqiu continued to rage, "It did it! That pine cone...it did it on purpose! Sue it for obstructing official duties! Assaulting the police! Arrest it!"

Nanjiang hurriedly pinched its mouth.

Since the people on their side climbed the trees, their positions were relatively fixed, and the fear of them by the hydrangea became obvious.

It rolled over the lake, setting off huge waves, trying to force its enemies to reveal themselves with this long-range attack.

And this, the pine tree also noticed.

The branches and leaves of the pine tree stretched out, consciously winding towards the human hiding on the pine tree.Without hesitation, Nan Jiang took out his dagger and cut off the soft branch wrapped around his calf.

The branch flinched and quickly counterattacked.

This was like a signal for war. The branches on the whole tree were stretched desperately in an instant, and with a sharp whistling, they rolled towards Nanjiang.

The little squirrel wanted to run away, but Qingqiu quickly grabbed it and carried it into the air.

Branches slammed across the face, and the whole forest seemed to go crazy in an instant.

Ming Xia pulled Nanjiang and ran over the branch, jumped onto the thick branch of the old pine tree next to him, while dodging the whipping branches, he got under the canopy of the tree, and leaned tightly on the trunk.

The canopy of the pine tree is so lush, and the long branches waving back and forth, that only the little gap under the branches close to the trunk can barely serve as a hiding place.

Several people in the nearby tree were also beaten to the side, and Tang Xun was almost caught by a pine branch and dragged down the tree.They all carried tactical knives with them. Although they were able to escape by cutting off the branches, this action made the pine tree's attack more violent.

Li Youran pushed Lin Su into a half-decayed tree hole, Bai Ying and the others frantically stuffed the instruments in, and the rest of the people hurriedly got under the tree canopy to avoid the frenzied whipping of the branches.

The whistling of the forest carried an overwhelming aura, but after getting used to this level of attack, one would find that the too close distance between the pine trees limited the strength of each other's attack.

And this kind of chaos is a good opportunity for Ming Xia.

"These pine trees are like the group of snakes back then." Ming Xia asked Nanjiang in a low voice, "Which one of these is the Beauty Pine?"

Nan Jiang shook his head.Their work will require checking the various seal formations, but they will not enter at will unless there are special circumstances.

"I've never entered Pine Cliff." Nanjiang replied softly, "But I can't figure out why the Beauty Pine is guarding here? Obviously this is just the periphery of Pine Cliff. Its body shouldn't appear here."

"Do you know where its body is?"

"If there is nothing wrong with the file of the 'Sixth Group', it should be on the North Peak." Nanjiang flashed a branch that was drawn horizontally, and cut off the branch that was drawn in front of Ming Xia with quick eyes and hands.

"The water lily is here, so it can be understood that it cannot do without water." Nanjiang said, "The beauty pine...why?"

Ming Xia is holding a crossbow, through the swaying branches of the pine tree, he secretly observes the water lily that is making waves not far away.He began to suspect that the arrow pierced the bulge of its forehead, but in fact it did not slow down its pace of transformation.The direct evidence is that the water in the lake continues to rise. The small lake was originally only the size of two football fields. At this moment, the water surface has expanded to the woods under their feet.

Standing on the branch and looking out, the accumulated water under the feet is connected with the lake in the distance. The area of ​​the lake has been enlarged several times in visual effect.

It is said that Jiaolong has the ability to control floods.Ming Xia thought to himself, it is this terrifying ability that Shui Zhi is showing at this moment.Maybe it's still not as terrible as a flood, but this ability is obviously still improving.

The distance was a bit far, and the water gnat kept rolling in the water. From Ming Xia's point of view, it was almost impossible to avoid these waving branches from hitting the water gnat's mouth or eyes.

Pine changed tack again.

The few pine trees closest to the lake fell obliquely into the water under the impact of the lake water, and the pine trees next to them seemed to be unable to withstand the continuous washing of the lake water, and the trunks were withered and gray. After a lot of teetering, it finally fell down with a bang.

The pine forest by the lake seemed to have suddenly suffered from some terrible infectious disease. The leaves quickly withered and fell off, and the rotten trunks fell down one after another.

The water pheasant raised its head to the sky and neighed.

Behind it, a wall of water more than ten meters high suddenly rose from the lake, and fell down amidst its violent roar, crashing towards it like a shattering one.

The pine tree shook suddenly, and fell sideways crookedly under the beating of the water waves.

Nan Jiang grabbed Ming Xia and held him in his arms.With the other hand, he plunged the dagger into the tree trunk and fixed the bodies of the two people who were thrown away.

The pine tree made an overwhelmed creaking sound, and slowly fell to the side.Under their feet was muddy lake water, with messy branches floating on the water surface, water snakes scurrying in it, and their elongated bodies drew strange lines on the water surface.

Ming Xia glanced at it, feeling hairy in his heart.However, the downward trend could not be stopped, and the two fell into the water after all.

At this time, the lake water had reached their waists.

Tens of thousands of whip-like branches suddenly rolled over, and tightly rolled up the few people who had fallen from the tree.Nan Jiang glanced over, except for Lin Su who was hiding in the tree hole, everyone was tied up.

The tentacle-like branches are flexible and powerful, dragging these chrysalis-like humans towards the water, the more they struggle, the tighter the branches become.

Ming Xia's right arm was accidentally exposed because he was going to grab a high branch, and he quickly pulled out the crossbow in his left hand from between the two branches.

Nan Jiang's eyes lit up, and he took a step forward, blocking a tangled branch for him.

Ming Xia could no longer pay attention to the changes around her.He put one end of the bow arm on Nanjiang's shoulder, and the other end stuck between his chin and shoulder, and quickly adjusted the card slot and the precious injection on it with one hand.

The branches tugged at them downwards.

The water pheasants tumbling non-stop in the distance also noticed the change in the situation, and swam towards them quickly.

With a bow in his hand, Ming Xia aimed tremblingly at the water lily.

Nan Jiang struggled to block Ming Xia's back, the branch that was originally sweeping towards Ming Xia slapped him on the shoulder.He couldn't help jumping forward due to the force of the impact, almost bumping his head into Ming Xia's back.

In the blink of an eye, Nan Jiang saw Ming Xia's left hand being dragged under the water.There are two branches wrapped around the arm. Fortunately, the two branches are not thick.

Nan Jiang struggled a few times, bumped towards Ming Xia's arm, and bit the top branch with one bite.

The branch trembled as if in pain, and tightened suddenly. Ming Xia was strangled, and the crossbow in his right hand couldn't hold it.

Nan Jiang exerted all his strength, and a cloud of fishy hot juice exploded in his mouth, like fresh blood, but with the bitter fragrance of plants.

A branch broke off, and Nanjiang continued to bite at another branch.

Something flew over the top of the head, and landed heavily in the lake not far away.The water splashed, and a thin figure struggled to get up from the water.Before he could stand still, a whip whipped around his head, and the whip hit his shoulder, causing him to stagger two steps, and fell headfirst into the water.

Nan Jiang finally bit off the second branch.

Ming Xia moved his left hand and didn't care about being polite to Nanjiang. He took the bow and arrow, and aimed at the hesitant stop not far away, as if he was a little confused.

The person in the water got up again, his gray robe was soaked through, and his hair was messed up, sticking to his white jade-like cheeks one by one.

This is a strange young man with a handsome face and a thin body like a stalk of green bamboo growing by the river.

Before he could stand still, another whip came over.

The young man raised his hand like lightning, grabbing the whip abruptly.He looked up into the void, his eyes were full of sternness, but he refused to let go of his hand.

The water pheasant raised its head high, with its ear fins spread out, as if facing a formidable enemy.The huge body moved a little closer to the boy, and then stopped very cautiously.

The boy didn't look back, but just raised his free hand and made a gesture of not moving rashly towards it.

The water pheasant opened its mouth wide, and spat out the bright red letter into the air, the threat was self-evident.

At this moment, a needle barrel spun to break the confrontational atmosphere above the lake, and plunged into the water beetle's open mouth with incomparable precision.

The young man who was struggling with the whip was taken aback, his cold eyes swept towards Ming Xia's direction, there was undisguised hatred and anger in his eyes, he wished he could swallow him in one bite.

The water pheasant shook its head angrily, sometimes buried its head in the water, sometimes raised it up.The huge body rolled up violently, and the huge waves swayed around.

A small black snake was washed up on Ming Xia's shoulder by the current, and crawled towards Ming Xia's neckline in a panic.

Ming Xia's face was pale, and he almost lost his breath for a moment.

A black shadow flew by very quickly, tore the little snake away from Ming Xia's chest, and fell heavily on the dead tree beside it.It rushed back quickly, circled around Ming Xia's head, and then carefully landed on his shoulder.

Ming Xia was overjoyed, "Qingqiu! You saved me again!"

Qingqiu rubbed his chin, "If it wasn't for the branches twitching, I would have come down a long time ago. Well, there are too many snakes in the water."

Its current size is too small, if it encounters a big snake that cannot open its eyes, it will be bad if it swallows it with one mouth.Even if it still has some protective demon power in its body, it is still quite disgusting to walk through the stomach of a poisonous snake.

Qingqiu said again: "The feather was stored in Lin Su's bag, and they all stayed nearby to take care of the instrument, so these long worms would not come near there."

Nanjiang nodded and praised it for its timely notification.

The gray-clothed boy stood in the water, his eyes blazing, pulling on the long whip, and confronted the invisible whip-bearer.

The water pheasant plunged into the water after a violent struggle.

The injection worked.
