When Cao Meng saw him sitting alone on the Grand Master's chair, with nothing unusual around him, he immediately smiled awkwardly: "Hey, it's okay, as long as it's okay, it's okay! I will compensate you right away."
"Master Cao, who is this behind you?"
"Oh, he, he is..."
"I'm Lu Yuan, a scholar." Lu Yuan saluted.
"Since you are a scholar, please take a seat. I wonder what you, Mr. Lu, are doing here this time?"
"Master Song, this little friend was invited by a lower official..."
Lu Yuan interrupted Cao Meng's words: "Sir Song, I can't talk to you about it. I came here specifically to take your life!"
Cao Meng suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Lu Yuan! Are you crazy?"
Lu Yuan stood in front of Cao Meng and pushed him back hard: "Run away!"
Cao Meng didn't react at all when he saw a white light flashing from Lu Yuan's waist, a long sword flying into his hand, and the blade suddenly emitted a blazing blue light.
Magistrate Song smiled calmly and said: "A demon master? Haha. The gourd on your waist told me that you are not a scholar."
The demon collecting gourd contains live demons, so it cannot be put into the Qiankun bag.
"It doesn't matter if you are a scholar or not," Lu Yuan said, "I will accept your demon pill."
After speaking, he jumped up, drew his sword and stabbed Magistrate Song.
Magistrate Song screamed strangely, and his figure skyrocketed, becoming more than eight feet tall, and his shirt was completely torn.
The moment the sword tip touched his body, his skin suddenly turned dark brown and was covered with ravines of uneven thickness.
This is no longer human skin, but real tree bark!
"laugh!"
The tip of the sword only penetrated the skin less than half an inch.
"What a tree spirit!"
Lu Yuan gathered his profound energy and slashed the tree spirit's arm horizontally.
The tree spirit's arm flashed with green light, and suddenly formed a giant shield half as tall as a man.
The sword blade struck the shield, making a crisp sound as metal and stone clashed.
Cao Meng was stunned by this scene.
But he was a bad guy after all. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately drew his sword and slashed at the monster.
The tree spirit waved its arm slightly, and the giant shield knocked the tall Cao Meng away.
He fell to the ground, clutching his chest and rolling over, unable to get up for a long time.
"It's ridiculous for a monster at the early stage of the second level to bully mortals!" Lu Yuan made a disdainful expression at him.
"Master Lu wants to use provoking techniques, but I'm afraid he's still a little too young."
The dryad shook his head violently, and the hair tie broke. His black hair suddenly turned green and spread around.
"If you want to live a good life, you have to have some green on your head. Hahahaha! I sympathize with you!"
"You smooth-tongued person, I want to taste what your brain feels like!" As soon as the tree spirit finished speaking, her hair suddenly rolled towards Lu Yuan with mysterious energy.
Compared to the first level, there is a huge difference in profound strength between the second level. Lu Yuan didn't react for a moment, and his hands and feet were immediately entangled in the demon hair.
The hair suddenly turned blue-green, and four huge suction forces spread to Lu Yuan's limbs.
He couldn't break away for a while, and felt that the profound energy in his body was out of his control, and was slowly flowing towards the tree spirit.
"Hahahaha! The profound energy of young people is clean and refreshing, and tastes great!" The tree spirit laughed wildly, stretched out its long tongue and licked the corner of its mouth.
The other hair strands suddenly condensed into five thick steel needles, stabbing at the unable to move Lu Yuan with a piercing scream.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang!"
A big black pot appeared out of thin air, perfectly blocking all the needles.
"Oh? The little devil has a problem." The tree spirit was slightly surprised.
He swung his shield and slammed it at the black pot.
Guo Pu was originally not in good shape, so he had to rely on force to fight. Lu Yuan saw that the shield attack was powerful and heavy, and he estimated that Lao Guo would be injured even if he resisted, so he used more spiritual thoughts to control him.
With a thought, he forcibly increased his movement speed.
Guo Pu stepped back, narrowly avoiding the heavy blow, then jumped up high and hit the tree demon on the head.
The tree demon was hit until he vomited green blood and had stars in his eyes.
Guo Pu was originally a second-level monster, but after becoming a demon servant, his combat power was lower than that of the second-level monster.
However, Lu Yuan has a unicorn heart and can more easily understand the demon servant's heart. Therefore, his closeness with Guo Pu increases quickly, which makes him recover his demon power very quickly.
This attack is already very close to the combat power of a second-level monster!
Lu Yuan was distracted and forcibly controlled the demon servant just now, which caused a great loss of profound energy. However, after the tree demon was injured, he immediately felt that the suction force on his limbs was slightly loosened, and he immediately twisted his fingers.
A pillar of pure Yang fire burst out from his fingertips and burned the dryad's hair.
A stench of burning trees and flesh suddenly hit him, making him sick.
When the dryad was burned by the fire, it immediately retracted its hair and made a sharp and harsh "squeaking" sound.
The second-level tree demon can secrete some demon liquid on the surface of the skin, reducing or even eliminating a certain amount of fire damage.
The skin of his scalp and arms quickly oozed purple-green demon liquid, and he waved his arms rapidly.
The burning flame flickered on and off for a few times, and then it was all extinguished!
Just as Lu Yuan stood up to regain his breath, he saw two giant shields whizzing towards him again.
He nimbly dodged and jumped into the courtyard.
A pair of huge shields smashed the floor inside the house to pieces.
The courtyard is connected to the back mountain, lined with green trees, rockery and ponds, so elegant.
The tree spirit also jumped out and grinned:
"Kid, you fell into a trap."
Lu Yuan said to himself: The difference in levels, even my flames can't have much effect. That demon liquid is really powerful!
While thinking about countermeasures, Lu Yuan suddenly felt that the earth was constantly moving slightly, and then the intensity became stronger and stronger, almost as if an earthquake was about to occur.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Countless thick tree roots suddenly emerged from the ground in the courtyard.
Those tree roots grew like crazy, as if they had eyes, and they stabbed at Lu Yuan rapidly.
"Star Thorn!"
Ten sword lights pierced ten tree roots respectively. They immediately broke into two pieces and made a hissing sound like they were injured.
But hundreds of roots continued to come forward.
"Hehehehehe..." The tree spirit looked at him from a distance and said with a strange smile, "The trees in the courtyard are all listening to my call. You have entered the dragnet I have laid!"
Lu Yuan sneered: "These tree roots are not monsters, I will burn them with fire!"
After speaking, he made finger gestures with both hands, and the thick fire pillar ignited all the roots of the nearby trees.
The burning tree roots kept twisting, and screams of pain came one after another. The dryads control them with their spiritual consciousness, so they are also slightly affected.
"Struggle is in vain!" The tree spirit was shocked and looked at the pool next to it with red eyes.
Half of the water in the pool suddenly disappeared, and after a few breaths, all of it fell from the sky and poured on the burning tree roots.
The flames were immediately suppressed.
Other tree roots came one after another, pouring out from all directions, like a huge cage, surrounding Lu Yuan and Guo Pu.
At this time, many criminals and government officials heard the strange noise and rushed into the backyard. They were all frightened when they saw the strange scene in front of them.
A few brave ones rushed forward, but they were all knocked away by tree roots.
Lu Yuan saw Cao Meng among the crowd and shouted to him: "Old Cao, take him out!"
Cao Meng nodded and immediately told everyone to retreat.
Suddenly, tree roots shot out from where Lu Yuan was standing. He only guarded his surroundings, ignoring the ground for a moment, and his legs were immediately tangled in tree roots.
