"This ancient tree should indeed be dead. The monster is just living in it and using the ancient tree as its carrier."
Lonnie looked at the ancient tree and said in a deep voice.
In this way, what we have to deal with is not the tree demon, but the monster hiding in the ancient tree.
"When we find an opportunity later, we will rush over and cut the ancient tree in two. The monster inside will definitely appear."
"When the time comes, we will swarm up and try to capture it."
We hid behind the rocks and discussed countermeasures in low voices.
At this moment, the last grass snake crawled into the huge open mouth of the ancient tree and disappeared.
Immediately, the cracks under the ancient tree slowly closed, and there was a crunching sound.
When the chewing sound ended, the trunk of the ancient tree began to tremble, and countless branches sprouted from the bare trunk.
At the same time, I discovered that the trunk of the ancient tree seemed to have grown larger after devouring countless living creatures.
Click, click…….Ь.
Just when we were stunned, the cracked side of the ancient tree slowly turned towards us.
Only then did we discover that above the trunk of the ancient tree, near the treetop, there were two fist-sized holes on the left and right.
The combination of the two holes and the crack below resembles a human face.
As the cracks opened and closed, the ancient tree trembled, and the weird sounds came again.
Could it be that the monster found out that there were still living people like us and wanted to eat us in the same way?
Fortunately, we were already on guard. The ancient tree trembled for a long time, but it did not attract us.
Seeing that his voice failed, the ancient tree seemed to be angry, and the tree body trembled more violently.
swish swish...
Accompanied by the subtle sound, countless branches of the ancient tree spread towards us quickly like tentacles.
"Do it!"
Originally we planned to pull the monster out of the tree, but now that it has taken the initiative, we don't need to hide it.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Following my order, everyone who had been prepared took action instantly.
For a moment, the sword light flashed, runes filled the sky, and the branches that spread over were cut to pieces, making it impossible to get close.
The ancient tree seemed not to have expected that our attack would be so fierce, and hurriedly retracted its broken branches.
We took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, throwing away a lot of talismans in our hands. .Ь.
Boom!
With a violent explosion, the countless branches that had just grown out of the ancient tree were completely blown off, leaving only a bare trunk again.
Without the harassment of those branches, the threat of the ancient tree was greatly reduced. We immediately ran to the trunk of the ancient tree, picked up our weapons, and started to attack the ancient tree.
The monster hiding inside must be uncovered!
I raised the sword to cut down the god, pointed it at the rough skin of the tree trunk, stabbed it in hard, and then gave it a sharp slash.
Hey-
The skin of the ancient tree was suddenly torn open by me.
Suddenly, a burst of red liquid sprayed out, almost splashing all over me.
Unexpectedly, the blood of this ancient tree is actually red!
The inside of the bark is densely covered with blue-purple lines, just like the blood vessels of the human body.
I originally planned to continue to pierce those blue and purple lines, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
But he saw that the blue and purple lines were constantly squirming and changing their shape, as if they were coming to life.
Then I saw that those lines gradually transformed into a human face, protruding from the bark of the tree.
While I was stunned, an old man's head just emerged from the trunk of the tree.
"help me……"
The old man had silver hair and blood on his face, and he let out a shrill scream at me.
It's actually a living person!
I took a few steps back and looked at the old man warily, but did not step forward to rescue him.
An old man suddenly emerged from the bark of this ancient tree. Who can guarantee whether this is a trick of the monster?
But, for some reason, looking at the old man calling for help, I felt inexplicably familiar.
It was as if I had seen it somewhere.
At the same time, heads kept popping up from all sides of the ancient tree, shouting for help to my friends.
There are old people, children, men, women...
It seems that they should all be residents of Ulan City who were swallowed by the ancient trees.
For some reason, they did not die after being swallowed, but were just trapped in the tree.
Did he sneak out while we were attacking the ancient tree?
However, Lonnie and the others, like me, took a few steps back and looked at the living people warily without making any rash moves.
"Brother Cheng, that's my grandma!"
At this moment, He Xiaozhao, who was standing not far behind us, suddenly pointed at the old man in front of me and shouted.
It turns out that this old man is actually He Xiaozhao’s grandmother!
I had seen a photo of her and He Xiaozhao before, no wonder it felt very familiar.
"Brother Cheng, please, save my grandma!"
He Xiaozhao shouted and was about to rush here.
"Xiao Zhao, go back quickly!"
I immediately shouted to her.
This ancient tree is too weird. He Xiaozhao is just an ordinary girl. If she gets close to the ancient tree, she might be in danger.
"Brother Cheng..."
"Don't worry, I'll save her!"
Seeing the anxious look on He Xiaozhao's face, I comforted him, turned around and walked towards the old man.
"Mother-in-law, hold my hand!"
I put the God-Slaying Sword into the Qiankun bag and stretched out my hands towards the old man.
According to my observations just now, these people who emerged from the ancient trees are not ghosts. They are indeed living people.
In this case, I have promised He Xiaozhao to help her find her grandma, so naturally I can't just sit back and watch.
"Thank you, young man!"
The old man was so grateful that he held me tightly with his dry hands. XiuShu.com
"Let's work together and I'll pull you out of the tree!"
As I said that, I exerted all my strength and pulled the old man outward.
The old man also cooperated with me, squeezing his body outwards desperately, trying to break away from the shackles of the ancient tree.
However, the skin of the ancient tree was like solidified cement, and half of the old man's body seemed to have grown inside.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from the tree.
I was so tired that I was sweating profusely. I couldn't pull it anymore, so I let go of the old man and wanted to take a breath first.
But just when I was about to let go, I clearly saw the corners of the old man's mouth split to both sides, and he gave me a weird smile.
I was shocked and wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
The old man's withered hands suddenly grabbed my neck and dragged me into the tree.
At this moment, the old man became extremely strong and I couldn't break free at all.
Whoosh!
Before I even had time to call Lonnie, I felt my eyes go dark and my whole body was pulled into the tree.
