People in the mountain village looked at the mountains in horror, and then looked up at the sky.
A person is floating in mid-air, swaying like an immortal.
Two fires were burning, and black smoke was billowing.
The immortal is subduing the demon?!
After the inspiration shined, "Yin Yang Impermanence" appeared.
Blood Tree Demon: The body is hidden in a tree. It eats human flesh and drinks human blood. There are many bones under its body and bloodstains all around. It cannibalize 198 people. It should be punished and rewarded with innate wood energy (a wisp).
A bit of green light flew into Wang Zhe's body.
I didn't feel much at first, but after a while, I felt that I had a lot of energy, and my whole body seemed to have endless energy.
This ray of innate wood energy is hidden in his body, just like the ray of "power of the mountain". How to control it requires his own understanding.
The innate wood energy is the innate five elements, which is very rare.
The countless roots and vines of the banyan tree are precisely due to this innate wood quality.
There was a loud rumble, the ground shook, and dust flew up, but the cave where the banyan tree was located collapsed.
People in the mountain villages were terrified.
"The sacred tree is angry!"
They knelt on the ground and kept praying.
I saw a trace of black energy coming out of everyone's body, floating in the air.
Alas, looking at their appearance, Wang Zhe sighed helplessly.
Afterwards, a few people in the village were bold enough to go into the mountain and were stunned when they saw the collapsed mountain from a distance.
The mountain collapsed and the cave was gone. What about the sacred tree? Is the sacred tree gone too?
"The sacred cave collapsed and the sacred tree is gone!"
After they brought the news back, it quickly spread throughout the mountain village.
Some old people in the village looked gloomy after hearing this, some collapsed on the ground, some beat their chests, and some didn't believe it and started to go up the mountain with crutches.
Some people were relieved, especially those with children at home.
"It's okay!" A woman with some gray hair whispered, and the man beside him glared at him.
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know if it's true or not."
"I hope it's true, then Xiaofu won't have to..." The woman swallowed it back before she could finish her words.
Soon, they confirmed that the sacred cave had indeed collapsed, and the sacred tree inside was gone.
Many people in the village are mourning, especially the elderly.
"The sacred tree is gone, the sacred tree is gone."
"With the sacred tree gone, what will happen to the curse on us? Will we all die?"
"We have to dig out the sacred tree."
"Yes, dig it out."
The people who came to their senses ran towards the mountain in panic.
The sacred tree blooms every year, and the flowers have miraculous effects. No matter what kind of disease you have, as long as you eat it, you will be cured in a short time, and the flowers of the sacred tree can also prolong your life.
Some elderly people in their eighties or nineties in the village are still alive today because they drank the water soaked in the flowers of the sacred tree.
Of course, the flowers were not free, they had to pay tribute, and they had to pay tribute to the sacred tree every year. The tribute was a little different, not animals, fruits, but people, a pair of childhood virgins every year.
In addition, they cannot leave the village for a long time. Once a certain period of time is exceeded, their bodies will quickly dry up, just like dehydrated flowers.
Suddenly a man appeared, standing on the treetops.
"You, who are you?"
"The demon tree has been destroyed, and the curse on you has been lifted."
When he was passing through a mountain village just now, he noticed that the auras above the heads of the people in the village were entangled with a special gray color, as if they were all suffering from some kind of disease.
Looking at it now, all the gray energy has disappeared. It must be related to the tree demon.
After saying this, Wang Zhe rose into the sky and disappeared.
"The demon tree, he, he actually said that the sacred tree is a demon tree!"
"Isn't it just a demon tree?" someone in the crowd whispered.
"Who, who is talking nonsense!"
The leader, a seventy-year-old man, took everyone in the village to the cave where the sacred tree that their village had guarded for generations was located. When they got closer, everyone was stunned.
The mountain actually collapsed,
A whole mountain!
"It's over, it's over, the sacred tree has been destroyed!" The old man who took the lead looked ashen.
Some people in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
As he looked away, he was still thinking about the big banyan tree just now. The tree itself was not guilty, but the guilty ones were the evildoers hidden in the book, and the master and apprentice were reborn with a little bit of innate wood energy.
He thought again of the ancient locust tree behind Lanruo Temple.
That tree looks much bigger than the banyan tree. If one day it really becomes a demon, it will definitely be much scarier than this tree.
"Could it be that this innate wood energy is the harvest of my trip? Being able to obtain such a treasure means that I am not allowed to make this trip."
Wang Zhe continued to move forward, looking for the Dragon Scale Mountain.
We traveled about a hundred miles.
Deep in the mountains, Wang Zhe saw a village. There were officers and soldiers in the village, and some ragged people lined up into a cave carrying bamboo baskets.
The officers and soldiers on the side were still cursing and scolding them, and whipped them from time to time.
"Hurry up, you have to hurry up."
Two people and one dead person were thrown into the cliff, as if they were throwing away a useless rag.
"What is this place?"
A guarding soldier felt that his vision was blurry, and then he became dizzy, and the scenery was whirling around like clouds and mist.
When he looked again, he was no longer in the same place. He was surrounded by trees. There was a person standing in front of him, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
"You, who are you?" The soldier's voice was trembling as he spoke. He thought he had encountered a legendary monster.
"What's in the cave?"
"Yes, there are ores, gold mines."
"Gold mine? Who are those miners?"
"There are people from this village and nearby villages," the soldier said cautiously.
"There is no other village except this one within a radius of dozens of miles!" Wang Zhe's eyes turned cold, and a pressure fell directly on the soldier. After hearing a common sound, the soldier fell to his knees on the ground.
.
"Yes, they are people we captured from outside."
"Who owns this gold mine?"
"This, this kid doesn't know." Wang Zhe raised his hand and pressed lightly, and the man fell to the ground, feeling severe pain all over his body, as if there was a mountain pressing on him.
"Little one, I heard that he is a certain adult in the capital. I really don't know who he is specifically. Please forgive me, sir!"
Wang Zhe waved his hand and the soldier fainted.
He went to the small village built specifically for mining.
I happened to see some miners eating. They were eating sour rice and a few vegetable leaves.
In the room that looked the best among them, a man wearing a blue robe was also eating.
On the wooden table in front of him were chicken, duck, fish, good rice, and a pot of wine.
This table is enough for seven or eight people.
"Stay in such a miserable place every day!"
"Sir." A soldier came in from outside.
"What's up?"
"I brought you a gift and it has been delivered to your room."
"Got it." The man in green waved his hand.
A table of sumptuous dishes, each dish only took a few bites and then stopped.
Wow, suddenly a gust of wind blew into the house.
"Well, what's going on?" He looked up.
With a click, Kuaizi fell to the ground, and a person suddenly appeared in front of him.
Just when he was about to shout, he felt a blur in front of his eyes. Listening to the whistling wind, he seemed to be flying up, then his feet fell into the air and he seemed to be falling from the sky. Then he saw the trees.
After breaking some branches, it fell to the ground with a thud. My face was scratched by the branches, my body hurt, and I don't know how many bones were broken.
"You, who are you?"
The man struggled to get up, his face contorted with pain.
"Are those miners guilty?"
"Well, yes, they are guilty, they are all criminals!"
"Fart!" Wang Zhe raised his hand and pressed it, and the man screamed, and several more bones in his body were broken.
"No crime, no crime, most of them are villagers from this village, and some of them were captured by us from other villages outside."
"Who owns this deposit?"
"Master Qi, the governor of Linjiang, and an adult from the capital!"
"How many miners died?"
"This, this, we didn't count them. After they died, we threw them into the cliff."
"Well, then go down and count how many people have died in vain under the cliff."
After speaking, Wang Zhe carried the man in green to the edge of the cliff.
"Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life!" The man shouted, attracting nearby soldiers, holding swords and guns, and surrounded Wang Zhe on the edge of the cliff.
"Who are you? Let go, sir."
Wang Zhe let go of his hand, and the man fell down a cliff hundreds of feet deep.
Ah, the shouts came from the bottom of the cliff, and within a moment there was no movement.
Under the cliff, there are numerous bones and several corpses that have not yet decomposed. These are corpses that have been thrown down due to illness or death over the years.
Some people were still alive before they were thrown down, but they fell to death.
Looking around, there are at least hundreds of corpses.
With a bang, a person fell from the sky and fell into the pile of bones. His body was pierced by countless bones.
Ah, he didn't die immediately.
Suddenly, he saw silhouettes of people, those who had been thrown down and beaten to death.
They are their wronged souls. Some of them linger here with resentment after death.
When he saw a stranger or an enemy, he immediately pounced on him.
The man died in agony.
"He killed my lord!"
"Take it!"
I don't know who shouted, and then these soldiers were shot away by Wang Zhe and fell to the ground, like dead pigs.
The miners were stunned.
"You are free, go home!"
The miner's road outside Wang Zhe.
The miners didn't react. They didn't dare to believe their ears, and they didn't dare to run. They were afraid that if they ran away, they would be caught, tortured, or even beaten to death and hung on a flagpole.
They have become numb and are no different from the walking zombies.
Wang Zhe looked at these people and really didn't know what to say. He didn't even have the courage to fight.
