Chapter four hundred and thirty seventh tree demon
The mountain is covered with moss, branches, and vines sticking out of the mountain.
The mountain is steep, and because of these vines and thick branches, it becomes a ladder for climbing.
Yu Sheng raised his head and saw vines and thick branches sprouting out above his head. The whole mountain looked like a tall tree with no top visible.
Beside the mountain, there are many mountain pillars that are not as thick as this mountain. They grow out of the ordinary woods below and reach into the sky. People are extremely small in front of them.
There is no sunlight in the mountains, but it does not appear dark or closed.
The mountains, vines, and branches are covered with flowers and grass. From time to time, rabbits stand among the grass on the branches and look down at the people flying by. There are also cheerful birdsong, and the atmosphere is peaceful.
"I feel that this is not a mountain, but a very tall tree." After walking around a vine, the three-legged bird said to Yu Sheng.
Although I had this illusion for the rest of my life, in order to be independent, I still disagreed with the three-legged bird, "This is a mountain, but it is covered with vegetation."
The three-legged bird suggested, "How about we go through the clouds to see what's going on? I win, and I will have an extra piece of gluttonous meat for dinner today."
"I won't go, it's too cold." The three-legged bird has feathers, but he won't have them for the rest of his life. He couldn't bear the coldness in the clouds.
"Then there is another way." The three-legged bird said, "Use a knife to scrape off the moss and see whether it is stone or wood inside."
"Good idea." Yu Sheng took out a kitchen knife from his arms, and just as he was about to get close to the mountain to check what was going on, a vine came out and hit Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng noticed it in time and jumped away. Before he could stand still and see clearly, the vines behind him also moved and wrapped around Yu Sheng in an instant.
The vines behind Aunt Qing and the three-legged bird also moved, forming a net covering them, and the horizontal branches moved towards them.
The aunt's flying sword instantly came into her hand. After cutting off an incoming vine, she jumped on a branch to avoid the net of vines that followed.
The three-legged bird was in bad luck. It was caught in the net of falling vines. Just as it was about to get out from underneath, a vine wrapped around its leg again.
The whole mountain came alive at this time, with vines like snakes constantly attacking them, and surprisingly thick branches could be seen everywhere blocking their escape path.
Yu Sheng moved in an instant, causing all the vines to fall away. However, Aunt Qing had some difficulty. Just when she was about to use her sword, the branches under her feet began to tremble.
Yu Sheng instantly moved to his little aunt, hugged her away from the branches and shouted: "Stop!"
The vines and branches remained unmoved, blocking out the sky and surrounding the sun, blocking all the ways for Yu Sheng and the others to fly out.
The three-legged bird that was staying in a cage made of vines saw this and shouted: "This man in front of me is the son of King Donghuang. If you hurt him, be careful that King Donghuang will chop him down for firewood."
In an instant, the entire mountain forest became quiet, the vines drooped, and the branches surrounded by more than ten people stopped motionless, as if everything just now was an illusion.
The three-legged bird flapped its wings proudly. It had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. It felt good to be like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
Because the sword spirit was in his hand, Yu Sheng, who was floating in the air, hugged Miss Teru's soft waist with peace of mind and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, "This..."
"Are you the son of King Donghuang?" one person said. The sound was like a loud bell, lingering in the sky and earth for a long time, and there was even an echo.
"Who is talking?" Yu Sheng raised his head and looked around, the voice came from above.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared above the clouds and mist, and "poof~" came the sound of gentle blowing, causing the mist to dissipate.
Yu Sheng and others finally saw the true face of the mountain. The three-legged bird was right, it was really a tree, not a mountain.
Behind the clouds, what appeared in front of Yu Sheng was a dryad with cracked vicissitudes of bark and a tree crown that covered the sky.
There was a pair of eyes, as big as a lake, between what was mistaken for the main trunk of the mountain; and an even bigger lip, like a canyon, but without a nose.
As for the mountain pillar just now, it turned out to be an old vine hanging down by a tree demon. After an unknown number of years, it was sealed by dust and moss and no longer looked like its original appearance.
"Are you the son of King Donghuang?" Yu Sheng saw the tree demon leaning down and staring at him with doubts in his eyes.
Without waiting for Yu Sheng to agree, the tree demon saw him floating in the air, holding the beauty in his right hand, and holding the kitchen knife in his left hand, and replied: "That should be it. No one dares to pretend to be the son of King Donghuang."
"What's so hard about counterfeiting?" Yu Sheng wondered. If he had known that King Donghuang's name was so easy to use, he would have faked it a long time ago.
It's too late now, but it's not that there's no chance of counterfeiting. Yu Sheng wants to pretend to be King Nanhuang and rob a few banks?
"Given the temperament of King Donghuang, if anyone tries to take advantage of her, even an ant will be killed by her with her sword."
"Bai Ze's Baiyu Island is in the East China Sea. It would be easy for her to know this." The dryad said with a smile.
Yu Sheng's neck shrank. Even if someone else thought of her as her son, it seemed that his plan to pretend to be the son of King Nanhuang and rob him was aborted.
"This is deep in the East Mountain. What are you doing here?" the tree demon asked again.
"Did a Taotie pass by here a few months ago?" Yu Sheng asked him.
The dryad nodded. The reason why it was awake today and struck out quickly when Yu Sheng took out his sword was thanks to Taotie, who disturbed his sweet dream when he passed by.
However, Taotie is not a vegetarian, and the tree demon is very big. The demon and the beast are about the same size as each other, so they missed each other once they met.
"Why, your mother roasted the gluttonous rice again?" The dryad carefully stretched its body and yawned.
It usually sleeps for a thousand years, and these few months are just a process of brewing sleepiness.
"That's not true." Yu Sheng said, making the tree demon feel lucky for Taotie.
"I grilled it, why don't you have a taste?" Yu Sheng took out a piece of gluttonous meat.
The dryad that stretched out its branches froze. He lowered his head and looked at Yu Sheng. He didn't run away. This was definitely the son of King Donghuang.
"Haha", the dryad laughed dryly, "I don't eat meat, so you should keep this meat for yourself."
Now that Yu Sheng knew the beauty of gluttonous meat, he shook his head, "What a pity, it's because you are not lucky. I know a grass demon, and she likes to eat meat the most."
He was talking about Cao'er, and now Yu Sheng has long known that Cao'er is a grass demon.
"Grass is often bullied by animals, so it's not strange to eat grass after becoming a demon." The tree demon said. As for trees, they soak in the sun and drink nectar, so the taste after becoming a demon is also light.
Yu Sheng looked at the three-legged bird that was still in the cage, "Then you like to eat birds?"
The dryad put away the cage and let the three-legged bird free, "Birds are the tree's good friends. If you have any bugs, I can try them."
"Forget it, I don't like bugs." Yu Sheng waved his hand. He was not the strongest man standing at the top of the biological chain, so he still had some taboos.
Seeing that Kazuki alone brought the topic to food, Aunt Qing threw away her sword, stepped on it and pushed away Yu Sheng.
Seeing that Yu Sheng was still talking, Aunt Qing glared at him, raised her hands and asked the tree demon, "Senior, do you still remember where Taotie comes from?"
The tree demon took back his thoughts about the bug and looked down at Aunt Qing, "The Taotie has been eaten, why are you still following in its previous footsteps?"
"Yiyi said that Taotie passed through the Dongshan Snow Mountain through a giant cave. We want to see it," Yu Sheng said.
"Giant?" The tree demon looked into the distance and said leisurely: "Before I fell asleep last time, I heard birds talking about giants."
Yu Sheng was delighted, "Do you know where the Giant's Cave is?"
