Chapter 334: Red Tree Demon
Wang Shuo refused to take many treasures, but chose a dictionary, which surprised the monks around him.
But the woman smiled slightly: "Since senior accepted it, you have to help me!"
Wang Shuo put the ancient book into the gourd and nodded: "Of course I keep my promise!"
After saying this, three evil spirits flew out of Wang Shuo's hands and turned into three figures side by side.
"This..." The woman's expression changed slightly.
Wang Shuo snorted and smiled: "When the time comes, let these Nascent Soul cultivators follow you and me, and then let these three dummies explore the way ahead. Once we encounter a space crack, we can avoid it in time!"
The woman nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't think of such a simple method, I'm ashamed!"
The faces of the Nascent Soul cultivators softened a lot when they heard that no one was needed to explore the way. Lin Ying and Xue Yuyan in the crowd looked at each other, but neither of them said anything, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Keep going until you find the mangrove demon!" The woman put on a cold face and ordered everyone.
"We're going to see that monster again soon!"
"This time I'm sure it will be more powerful than last time!"
Wang Shuo frowned slightly. This mangrove demon had three thousand years of cultivation and was powerful. It was the guardian spirit of the south entrance of Wuxin Palace.
Last time, everyone tried to pass through the Wuxin Palace in order to pass through the Poisonous Forest earlier. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by the tree demon and had no choice but to enter the Poisonous Forest.
But this time is different from the last time. Just three hundred miles is already difficult, and it is almost impossible to break into the poisonous forest. The safest way is the Wuxin Palace!
However, due to Wang Shuo, the mangrove demon may be more powerful than last time.
Similarly, Wang Shuo was also curious as to whether his own traction could control the mangrove demon.
Soon, everyone lined up in a long line and started off again. Wang Shuo and the woman were at the front of the line, but twenty steps ahead were the three dummies.
At the same time, everyone changed from flying to walking, and their spiritual consciousness spread out to detect the surroundings. If there is a problem, they can quickly find it.
Only a few dozen feet forward, the three dummies in front were suddenly cut off at the waist. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stopped and stared ahead nervously.
Wang Shuo waved his hand, and the dummy that had been cut in half took a few steps back, and its body quickly returned to its original state.
Then the three dummies dispersed and continued to move forward. The middle and left dummies were still cut off at the waist, but the left waist of the right dummy was cut open.
Wang Shuo smiled, and the dummy on the left recovered and moved a certain distance to the left until the length and height of the space crack were measured.
This was not over yet. Wang Shuo used magic to mark the area near the crack and continued to control the three dummies to move around.
After confirming that there were no other space cracks around, Wang Shuo spoke: "Bypass this crack and continue moving forward!"
After that, I walked for several hours and avoided many space cracks using this method.
These cracks are all straight strips, but they are placed in various strange ways, making them extremely difficult to detect.
It was already dark by now, and everyone was repairing on the spot, waiting for daybreak to continue moving forward.
The toad was lying in the pond and croaking.
Wang Shuo sat on the ice created by Lin Ying: "This space crack is really powerful. If there is no way to detect it, we will not be able to move forward at all!"
Xue Yuyan said: "It's not because of Brother Wang that there are so many space cracks in this poisonous forest!"
Just as he was talking, a drop of water fell on Wang Shuo's head. Wang Shuo didn't take it seriously. After all, water often falls in this poisonous forest.
However, one drop was followed by another. Wang Shuo frowned and looked up at the treetops.
There was just a "crash" sound, and a hole suddenly opened in the dense treetops, and several water pillars fell from the sky. Everyone was startled, thinking that they had encountered some poison, and they all lit up their protective auras and shields.
However, other than falling into the water column, there was no other reaction.
The woman said: "I'm very afraid, it's just rain. The trees in this poisonous forest can grow so tall, how can they be sustained by the kind of light rain you have seen? What's the point of such heavy rain in the poisonous forest?
Afraid?"
After hearing this, everyone put down their guard and began to think of ways to protect themselves from the rain.
Lin Ying made a huge ice umbrella to protect the three of them from the rain: "This is the first time I have seen such rain in this long life!"
Xue Yuyan said: "I once learned about this kind of rain from ancient books. It is said that this kind of rain is particularly easy to form tree demons. It seems that it is true!"
Wang Shuo nodded: "Yes, although these trees do not hurt people, they are all demonic trees. Not only can they walk, but the treetops can also catch flying monks. Only this kind of rain can raise that red..."
In the middle of speaking, Wang Shuo suddenly paused, then his whole person blurred and teleported to the side.
And where she was standing just now, a giant green hand suddenly emerged from under the ice and reached the sky, punching a big hole in Lin Ying's ice umbrella.
Rainwater penetrated from the hole, and Lin Ying and Xue Yuyan subconsciously stood up and retreated.
"Mangrove demon!"
All the Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly became alert, got up from the ground, and took out their magic weapons.
All kinds of lights suddenly lit up in the night.
Wang Shuo sensed the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness and stared at the giant cyan hand.
At first glance, it looks like a hand, but when you look closely, it turns out to be a branch, but it has exactly five branches, and it looks very much like a hand.
Soon, the green branch retracted into the ground, leaving a hole.
"Back off!" Wang Shuo instantly stepped back several feet.
Naturally, all the Nascent Soul cultivators noticed the strangeness coming underground and also retreated.
"Kakaka!"
There was a sound of landslides and ground cracks, and a huge lump rose up from the ground. The poisonous forest, which was originally motionless, hid in all directions as if it was frightened.
The giant bag split open, and a man in red emerged from it.
"This...this mangrove demon has turned into a human form?"
"Are you sure this is the mangrove demon?"
"The branch that came out of the ground just now is indeed the mangrove demon!"
The man in red had an indifferent expression. He glanced at everyone and opened his mouth to roar, but there was no sound.
This child's legs are spread apart, the skin all over his body has become dry and rough, and his hair has stood up and turned into twigs.
In a few blinks, the mangrove demon's true form appeared.
This monster has a huge body, and it would take more than a dozen people to surround it. It would be as thick as its trunk. However, the tree is not tall, only about ten feet. It is blood red all over, and arms-like green branches hang down from the red leaves.
At this time, the water curtain fell on the tree crown, dripping along the branches to the ground, forming a drizzle.
The toad demon used to keep watch at night remained unmoved and lay under the canopy of the mangrove demon tree, letting out bursts of frog noises in the drizzle.
A green branch suddenly grabbed the toad, and then suddenly retracted into the canopy.
After a while, the toad disappeared and was swallowed by the mangrove demon.
Wang Shuo's expression remained as usual: "Since this mangrove demon has appeared, it also means that the entrance is here!"
