"Weird?!"
Brother Eighteen's pupils shook.
Thousands of years ago, the weirdos invaded the world of cultivation in Central and South China, causing a loss of life. In order to survive and for the continuation of mankind, the ancient monks fought back one after another. In the final battle between mankind and the weirdos, tens of millions of monks in central and southern China self-destructed and fought with each other. Weirdness and strangeness perish together.
Today's Bloody Forbidden Land is the ancient battlefield of that year.
"Eleven, this matter is of great importance. This is no longer something that the two of us can interfere with. I will inform the clan now and ask the elders to send people down the mountain to investigate the matter thoroughly."
Brother Shiba had a serious look on his face. He quickly wrote dozens of words on the paper crane with Zhusha, and then with a tap of magic power, the white paper crane flew lightly into the sky and flew towards Luofeng Mountain.
Seeing this, Fu Shiyi shook his head and said:
"Brother Eighteen, the situation is more serious than we imagined. "Qingxi Notes" records that this kind of weird person who likes to tear apart human bones will never stop once he takes action."
"The reason why Yongwang was able to return to the city safely is because the monster put a curse on him. At the same time tonight, it will come to collect Yongwang's bones, and then choose someone to plant the curse. "
"It will take the elders ten days at the fastest to get to Yanyang Mulin from Luofeng Mountain. If we don't do anything, it means that ten of our tribesmen will die soon."
Fu Shiyi read the strange records related to this kind of thing and showed them to Brother Eighteen, and said urgently:
"Brother Eighteen, it's less than three hours until dark. We must think of a way to annihilate them before the monsters come to collect their bones."
Brother Eighteen was only more than ten years older than Fu Shiyi, and he was only at the sixth level of Qi training. Although he knew the situation was urgent, he couldn't think of a good solution.
Fu Shiyi thought about three cobblers competing against Zhuge Liang.
He first sent the communication talisman to Sanniang and Brother Sixteen, and then quickly sorted out the characteristics of such weird things and considered their weaknesses.
After Sanniang and Brother Sixteen arrived from Guyaju, she got straight to the point:
"If the content recorded in "Qingxi Notes" is correct, these monsters are called skeleton tree people. They are born from cocoons on bone trees."
"The more bones the Bone Tree absorbs, the higher the level of the Skeleton Treeman it creates. However, nothing like what happened today has happened in Yanyang Mulin in the past two hundred years. It is obvious that this Bone Tree has just awakened. The skeleton tree man born from it should only be at the second level, which is equivalent to our Qi training period."
"The Skeleton Treeman relies on the Bone Tree to survive. Once the Bone Tree is destroyed, the Skeleton Treeman will automatically collapse into pieces of bones."
After the other four people digested the relevant information, they met to discuss ways, and finally decided to use a strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
Let Brother Sixteen and Brother Eighteen, who have practiced ethereal footwork, lure out the skeleton tree man guarding the bone tree; then Sanniang, who has the highest level of cultivation, takes Fu Shiyi in to annihilate the bone tree.
Because they planned not to alert the snake first, but to follow the skeleton tree men who came to collect their bones tonight, find their lair, and then proceed as planned.
This means that one more person will be cursed tonight.
If their plan tonight fails, that person's fate will be the same as Aeon's.
"Who will keep vigil for Aeon tonight?"
After a period of silence, Fu Shiyi spoke first:
"Let's draw lots."
"no!"
Sanniang's face changed, and she frowned and said, "I promised your father to protect you. If we really want to draw lots, then write another one with my name instead of yours."
Brother Sixteen and Brother Eighteen were speechless.
They had heard since they were young that Du Sanniang was cold-hearted and cruel. She didn't want to be in a critical moment, but she was willing to sacrifice her life for Eleven without thinking.
They looked at Fu Shiyi with a mixture of envy and shame. They could not yet make sacrifices for others without hesitation.
"Sanniang, although my father doesn't say it, I know that he has already regarded you as a family member. In my father's mind, both you and I are equally important."
Sanniang was startled for a moment and murmured in a low voice.
Fu Shiyi had already written a note and handed it to Wangcai's companion, asking him to choose one from it. He was a mortal with no magic power, so naturally he would not cheat.
The person who got the draw was Brother Sixteen. He wailed for a while, then licked his face and said half sincerely and half jokingly:
"Eleven, fry and fry the Fire Cloud Eggs for me, one each. Brother, I'm afraid that after eating this meal, I will never be able to taste the delicious food in this world again."
In the past few months, Huoyun Chicken has laid more than 20 eggs, 18 of which are seed-bearing. Now that Huoyun hen no longer lays eggs, but is looking for eggs to hatch. Fu Shiyi asked Fu Da's wife to make a nest and let it hatch the eighteen eggs.
For dinner, everyone had Huoyun Custard, which was smooth and delicious. However, everyone was worried about what would happen in the evening, and only Brother Sixteen ate the most delicious food.
By Haishi, it was already late at night, and people in the city had stopped their activities and settled down to sleep.
In the entire east city, there were only the chirping of insects and the occasional snoring coming from a window. However, outside the "small pasture" in the southwest corner of the city, there was a sudden sound of "pat, pat, pat".
"coming!"
Fu Shiyi was in the east wing room and looked through the paper window. He saw a thigh bone coming out of the wall. A rib was closely connected to the thigh bone, and the bones were connected one after another, like a string. The thread crawled from the outside to the inside of the wall. When they arrived outside the main house, Wangcai's house, all the bones gathered together, shook, and then "clicked", and a human-shaped skeleton stood in front of the window.
Fu Shi took a quick look:
I saw that strange figure as tall as a three-year-old child, with flaking pale skin on the surface of its dry body. Colorful seven-petal flowers grew out of its eye sockets and ears, and new branches with green leaves sprouted from its nostrils. It was thin. Limbs like dead wood.
Fu Shiyi held his breath.
After the skeleton tree man entered the house for a while, he came out holding the prosperous bones that had been broken into pieces. Then his body "clicked" and scattered in all directions, and he slipped out of the city.
"Follow up!"
Fu Eleven and the other four used their invisibility skills and were far behind them, while Brother Sixteen who was following him had a mournful face and stared at the seven-petal bloody red flower that suddenly appeared on his arm.
Apparently the skeleton tree man had planted a curse on Wangcai, who was pretending to be asleep and staying by his side.
The night is cool.
The skeleton tree man exited the city gate and reorganized into a human form. Holding the prosperous bones, he jumped quickly and disappeared into the night.
Fortunately, the four of them, Fu Shiyi, had all practiced the Light Body Technique, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to catch up with it.
The four of them followed them to the edge of the Longtan Cave where Wangcai and the two had an accident. The skeleton tree stopped and raised its head and shouted "Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu" several times.
I saw dozens of skeleton tree men jumping out of the originally closed Longtan Cave. A group of skeleton tree men surrounded a pile of bloodshot bones. After jumping a few times, they cheered and jumped into the Longtan Cave. The big stone wall disappeared in the blink of an eye.
