'...'
'A hint of dreamy wind and rain, the road is blurry with people...'
The music is melodious and the singing is sweet...
Waves of clear and dreamy singing flowed through the pavilions and pavilions by the lake late at night.
The clear, melodious, nature-like ditty emitted by that beautiful voice finally gradually stopped with the plucking of the strings... However, the melodious female voice and the sound of the piano were still lingering in the ruins of Lanruo Temple. The deep building complexes were echoing back and forth, and they could not stop for a long time in the dead of night.
"..."
A long time passed, about half an hour.
When Nie Xiaoqian had just finished singing a small song in section one and was sitting in silence, feeling a bit self-pitying. Before she could get up to say goodbye or persuade the little girl to leave early, something unexpected happened suddenly!
"ah!!"
Because, Nie Xiaoqian was shocked to see: Their tree demon grandma, for some unknown reason, did not act according to the rules they had established in the past, but instead killed her without any care?
The other party actually took advantage of her singing to attract the little girl's attention, and suddenly a few tree root tentacles like giant pythons sprang up from the ground, and fiercely moved toward the person who was still sitting well with a red hanging. The little girl on the lantern's crossbar stabbed hard at the back of that little figure who seemed to be unprepared? !
Zhengying~!
Discovering this unexpected situation, although I don't know why their grandma would not follow the rules to ingest the essence and blood of a living person this time, I saw that the little girl was unaware and was about to die under the clutches of the tree demon grandma. At that moment, Nie Xiaoqian felt a little unbearable, so she exerted a little force with her fingers, and instantly broke a string of the Paulownia lyre in front of her, causing it to emit a harsh and mournful sound.
Nie Xiaoqian obviously didn't dare to disobey their dryad grandmother, and she also didn't dare to help the little girl whom she had some affection for. After all, they just met by chance... So besides pretending to be careless, Nie Xiaoqian She broke the strings and made an abnormal noise, trying to remind the little girl who was sitting on top holding the stuffed doll and listening intently to her own song with her chin propped up, but there was really nothing she could do. .
puff! !
The movements of the tree root tentacles were very fast. Even though Nie Xiaoqian had warned her in time, those tree roots, which were like giant pythons, still quickly and fiercely twisted toward the little figure before the little girl could make any other moves. It made a slight muffled sound when it hit and wrapped around the opponent's back.
However, the next second, something even more shocking happened to Xiaoqian:
The roots of Grandma Dryad that seemed to be tightly wrapped around the little girl's body were actually blocked by a layer of red and transparent formation-like barrier?
With that layer of seemingly fragile red light, the extremely powerful Dryad Granny could only continue to twist and strangle with her roots in vain, but even though the tree root tentacles made bursts of 'crunching' sounds due to excessive force. , but can't do anything about that barrier?
"Aha!"
♪（＾∀＾●）ﾉｼ
"You can't catch me like this! Well... do you want to come and play with fire with my little bear? It's really fun!!"
ψ(⃔*`꒳´*)⃕↝
Did you find that the big tree man desperately wanted to use the 'entangling roots' skill to sneak attack you, and it was still trying hard to tie yourself up?
So, Annie stood up from the wooden stake with a smile, then held her little bear Tibbs in one hand, and smiled coquettishly with the other hand, without waiting for the tree man to answer or make other reactions. He nonchalantly stretched out his little white finger and slowly touched the lava shield in front of him just a little bit with his fingertip!
The next moment!
Waves of ripple-like fluctuations appeared on the transparent red shield...
Then, the red shield, which was originally only translucent and harmless to humans and animals but extremely strong, suddenly exploded! In fact, layers of violent flame energy like lava began to flash violently above? !
Then, as a matter of course, the roots of a certain dryad that was seeking death and tightly wrapped around the shield were instantly ignited and burned by the violent flame energy on the lava shield!
"!!"
'Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! ! '
The sudden change made those roots feel like they were holding a red iron, and they had to instantly loosen from the state where they were tightly entangled before and wanted to break the shield!
but……
Now that the roots have been ignited by the fire ignited by the magical energy, whether those roots dare to continue to wrap around and touch the lava shield is actually not that important anymore.
"Ha ha!"
"Look, I just said it was fun, right?"
ฅ（*＾-＾*）ฅ
"I'm telling you, my magic flame will keep burning like this, no matter how much you flap it or soak it in the water, it's useless!!"
('^ωก̀)☄☄☄
Looking at the roots that seemed to be the arms of a tree man, flapping desperately on the ground and in the lake, little Annie smiled mischievously and at the same time pretended to be kind and reminded the other party.
Anyway, the flame Anne just released was not burned by oxygen and combustibles. The magic flame actually burned the life and other energy of the tree man. It will slowly burn towards the opponent's body along the opponent's tree root tentacles, until the entire huge tree man is burned to ashes!
Wow!
Bang! !
The roots of the dryad were beating vigorously in the water and mud of the lake for a long time, making loud noises and splashing water to the pavilion by the lake.
Afterwards, the tree demon fluttered for a long time, and even soaked those huge tentacles directly into the lake water, but the flames burning on them showed no sign of extinguishing, and even burned the lake water red, and the surrounding tentacles were soaked in water. After the area slowly started to boil, both the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian, who was standing there in shock, and the tree demon grandma whose body was far away knew:
When they met the little girl, she didn't lie! The flames burning tenaciously on the tree root tentacles during the struggle, it is weird! !
"..."
That kind of flame...
Could it be the legendary Samadhi True Fire?
Nie Xiaoqian, who was hugging a pillar of the pavilion and seemed a little frightened by the little girl's spell, looked at the little girl and the red flames still burning on the roots of the dryad with some uncertainty. At the same time, he couldn't help but tremble slightly with fear.
Because she knew that no matter whether it was Samadhi True Fire or not, she could feel that that strange flame had a fatal restraint ability on ghosts like them. If it was accidentally contaminated even a little bit, female ghosts like her would , then it must be burned to ashes!
By then, not to mention that the soul is gone, not even the fragments of the soul will be left! !
'Woo ho ho~! ! '
Finally, after a final tragic scream, the burning roots quickly broke apart from the middle, directly discarding the burned parts.
Obviously, Grandma Dryad, who had been struggling in the lake for a long time, seemed to understand that water or soil alone would definitely not be able to extinguish the fire! Therefore, with a prompt decision, she boldly and proactively cut off all her burning roots, and then the remaining ones quickly retracted back into the ground and disappeared, and she didn't know where to hide. .
"Oh..."
(￣△￣；)
"Tibbers, that tree man is so cunning. He actually thought of such a method. It's not that kind of gecko. How could it pretend to cut off its tail?"
(°ー°〃)……
Anne knows that those roots are very important to the tree people, whether they are hands or feet, or tongues for eating, etc.?
But who would have thought that the other party, under a fatal threat, could make such a strong determination and cut off several huge long tentacles all at once. It would definitely be very painful, right?
(…)
(Dear little master, isn’t her true body in the cemetery behind this big ruined temple? We can just go over and burn her with a fire. It will definitely not be able to escape!
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
——The left and right are just tree men who know some druid natural spells. Tibbers has seen many of those guys in the world of Azeroth, so he doesn't take them too seriously! Those kind of tree people, they move very slowly, or can't move at all? And now this tree man is only a little bigger in size and has a little more energy at most. With such an existence, it still dares to provoke its little master, Tibbers. Isn't that boring? )
"Let's forget it. It screamed so miserably just now. It sounds really pitiful, so... let's burn it later, right?"
(*°▽°*)╯☄
Annie was in a good mood now, because she had just finished listening to a nice song, and she didn't want to pay attention to the irrelevant old tree man for the time being.
After all, that big tree that has grown for thousands of years is really rare. It would be a pity if it were burned... And if it is kept, maybe others can cut it down to make furniture and other things in the future. Plant a large solid wood board like a coffin lid, or use beads as bracelets? !
As for whether the act of cutting down trees to make furniture is good or not, that is not something that little Annie should have to worry about.
"Ah?!"
Σ(｀д′*ノ)ノ
When Little Annie turned around, she unexpectedly discovered that Miss Nie Xiaoqian, who was just standing in the pavilion like a succubus and a vengeful spirit, flew up in fluttering white clothes and fled into the distance? !
"Little sister, don't run away. Can you sing me another song?"
❤ヾ(´∀`o)+
However, it was a good thing that little Annie didn't scream. As soon as she stretched out her hand, the Nie Xiaoqian who was frightened by her actually ran faster in fear and disappeared in the blink of an eye. She seemed to be hiding in this shabby place. In the cemetery behind the temple?
"All right……"
“Then let’s listen to it another day!!”
..(＿＿)ノ｜
Although she felt a little regretful, since the other party was now afraid of her, Annie did not chase her. She just jumped down from the crossbar with the red lantern in a bored manner, and curiously went to the pavilion by the lake. In front of the piano table, he began to play with the silk strings on the Paulownia piano.
This is a good thing that Miss Nie Xiaoqian left behind when she hurriedly escaped. Now I can give it to her to play with and practice her skills?
Boom, boom, boom!
Ding ding ding ding clang~!!
Different from the fingering technique played by a certain female ghost just now, which is crisp and sweet, with lingering sounds and can make people feel physically and mentally happy, what little Annie is playing now sounds almost the same as what the original Nie Xiaoqian played, but it is just It was forcibly popped up based on her strong memory, and there was no emotion integrated into it at all!
Therefore, this cannot be called music at all, it can only be called...noise?
(…)
(/-㉨-＼)
(Tibbers, who was left on the piano platform, suddenly sat up on his own, and then tightly covered his ears... But now when his little master was having fun, he didn't dare to seek death again. Jump out and tell some truths to make yourself uncomfortable!)
"Ha! It's so fun, Tibbers, look at this thing. I didn't expect it could play like this?!"
(●´∀｀)♪
Anne soon discovered that this wooden piano with only seven strings could produce so many kinds of sounds? Also, if you play the strings in different positions, or press them in different positions with your hands, the sounds produced will be different?
Also, she had also paid close attention just now. It seemed that the young lady named Nie Xiaoqian had different playing techniques such as wiping, picking, hooking, ticking, hitting, etc. when the other party was playing?
Boom, boom, boom!
Clang clang clank...
So, little Annie, who had discovered a new toy and seemed to have forgotten why she came to Lanruo Temple, started playing happily alone in the small pavilion by the lake... With her disdainful efforts, The sound of the piano, which was louder than noise, spread throughout Lanruo Temple one after another.
"!!"
"What the hell is that female ghost doing again? Is this a new trick they've come up with to mess with people's minds?!"
snort!
Since the fight between the tree demon grandma and a little girl just now was not fierce and ended too quickly, Yan Chixia did not notice much was wrong, but just felt that the thousand-year-old tree demon was a little bit distant. Just making noise.
As long as the other party doesn't come near here, he will naturally be on the same page with that guy! After all, during the time the two parties got together at Lanruo Temple, they had already formed a tacit understanding with each other and knew what should be done and what should not be done.
"It really pisses me off!"
"What a female ghost, you are so cruel! Mr. Yan admitted defeat today!!"
After muttering a few words of curses, Yan Chixia was tortured by the 'demon sounds' that had no power at all but could successfully confuse his mind. She really couldn't calm down and meditate, so she had to secretly feel resentful. He covered his ears and fell asleep!
Since the female ghost was just playing the piano and did not provoke him, Yan Chixia, nor did she successfully seduce the policemen to check the sound, then she could play however she wanted. According to the rules, she, Yan Chixia, would definitely not be allowed to go there too much. Never mind!
——————
"You still dare to hide?"
“You’re a bitch who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!!”
In the haunted house in the tomb of the cemetery controlled by the tree demon grandma, the thousand-year-old tree demon, who has transformed into a human form that is neither male nor female and looks a little embarrassed, is whipping Nie Xiaoqian who is lying on the ground with a whip, constantly venting his inner feelings. The anger!
Just now, she herself was almost burned to death by a little girl!
Therefore, she felt that it was all the fault of this cheap maid in front of her. She found this place as soon as she came back and beat the innocent Nie Xiaoqian to vent her fear and resentment!
That little girl of unknown origin really scared her, the tree demon!
Especially the other party's kind of flame that can restrain her!
You must know that due to the mutual restraint of the five elements, they tree demons are inherently afraid of fire. Even if she has grown for thousands of years, even if she becomes an elf, her fear of fire is still deeply engraved in her own instinct!
However, she might not be too afraid of ordinary flames, and there are ways to extinguish them on their own... However, the weird protective methods and flames that the little girl released were not good for her tree demon. Method.
If she hadn't cut off her arm in time before, she would have been burned to death by the terrifying flames that spread!
"Hmph! You bitch!"
"Hurry up and get ready. Later, you will go to the side hall of Lanruo Temple to seduce the spies and bring their essence and flesh back to grandma and me to enjoy! Whoever dares to neglect, she will be your fate!! "
Grandma Dryad pointed at Nie Xiaoqian, who was beaten so hard that she couldn't even stand up, and shouted to her female ghosts!
After forcibly breaking off several of her arms just now, Grandma Dryad's vitality was severely damaged. Now she is in urgent need of the blood, essence and soul of a living person to replenish her own losses!
"As for you..."
"When Mr. Montenegro comes to visit, I will give you to him as a concubine!!"
After giving instructions to those obedient female ghosts, the dryad grandmother blamed Nie Xiaoqian for all her faults. She used her masculine voice and stared fiercely at the ground where she had beaten her dozens of times. Xiaoqian, the female ghost below, said conspiratorially.
"Hmph!"
Grandma Dryad has actually already found out: among the new people in Lanruo Temple today, two of them have exceptionally good spirits and flesh and blood, even as good as those rare geniuses and treasures?
And those two people were the police chief and the little girl! Especially that little girl, if she is allowed to eat the flesh and blood of the other party, her cultivation will definitely break through the limits and reach new heights!
only……
That little girl seems to have some amazing talents, especially the fire-setting spell, which is very obvious to her, a thousand-year-old tree demon! Therefore, she could only temporarily change her target, and planned to take down the leader of the police who was just an ordinary person and didn't seem to have much ability first?
As for the little girl….
Hum!
After Master Montenegro arrives, if he lets the other party deal with the little girl, he will definitely be able to capture her! It just so happened that the old demon had been spying on her little maid Nie Xiaoqian. Why not take it as a favor this time and send this disobedient maid away who dared to flirt with the little girl just now?
"Grandma! Please, don't give me to Master Montenegro!!"
When she heard that the tree demon planned to send her out, Nie Xiaoqian's pale face suddenly turned even whiter... With no choice but to do so, she had no choice but to step forward and hugged the tree demon's grandmother. Legs, open your mouth to cry out and plead!
Because she knew that if she was given to the old Black Mountain demon as a concubine, the torture would be considered light... and what was even more terrible was: from now on, she would be beyond redemption, never reincarnate, and would never have the chance to be reincarnated as an adult!
None of the female ghosts who were given to the old demon from Montenegro had a good ending!
If Nie Xiaoqian is really sent out, after being tortured, humiliated and tired of the old Black Mountain demon, she will definitely be eaten by him. From then on, her body and soul will be extinguished, and she will completely disappear in this world...
"Get away!!"
However, the angry tree demon, regardless of what the little maid thought, kicked her away. Now that she has made a decision, she will definitely not change it easily.
"..."
Seeing the tree demon grandma leave without looking back, Nie Xiaoqian could only sit sadly on the ground of the haunted house, lowering her head, letting her full head of hair cover her beautiful and refined face.
Sure enough, she had known it for a long time...
None of the lonely ghosts who were trapped in this mass grave by this terrible tree demon and could not escape would have a good end... Not even her, Ning Xiaoqian, even if she still retains her own... The young man has a true nature, but in the end, he still cannot escape.
If she had not been buried in the mass grave of Lanruo Temple, and had not been controlled by the tree demon, I am afraid she would have been reincarnated long ago, right? How could he continue to stay here in the human world like he is now, waiting for the order of that tree demon to harm others?
Now she's fine, she will soon be given to the old demon of Montenegro. Even her last extravagant hope, the chance that she could one day escape from the control of the tree demon, reincarnate, and get rid of her miserable fate is gone...
"..."
"I really envy you, Sister Xiaoqian, you will soon be the bride of Mr. Montenegro... Then, don't forget us sisters?"
Seeing the tree demon grandma leaving, one of the female ghosts in green gauze took two steps forward in a sinister manner and teased Nie Xiaoqian who was lying on the ground.
In the past, Nie Xiaoqian was favored by the tree demon grandma. She always had a high status and good training conditions. She had long been jealous!
Now it's okay, the other party will soon give it to the old demon of Montenegro, and she herself will definitely take over the position of this 'sister' in the near future, and become the chief female ghost under the hands of the tree demon grandma, enjoying Everything the other party enjoys at this time?
"Ah!"
"Sisters, let's go, let's go quickly and deal with the group of agents!"
The green-clothed female ghost, who did not dare to linger for fear of delaying the important event of the Dryad Grandma, waved her hand and asked the other female ghosts with different expressions to follow her out of the door, ready to carry out their mission—— Seduce those agents, and then wait for an opportunity to absorb their yang energy, essence, and flesh!
At this time, the moonlight was thick outside Lanruo Temple, and a full moon was hanging high in the sky. The soft moonlight shone through the dark clouds.
And tonight, ghosts from all sides are beginning to stir up under the moonlight. This is destined to be a sleepless night...
