Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 1229: The Root of Life
I looked around and saw that Fatty and Dasu and Li Mazi had been rolled into a bunch by the rootstocks, and they were still asleep.
I jumped out of bed in a panic, and the roots swept at me like I was aware of something!
Each rootstock has a child's wrist that is thick and looks like a hunter lurking in the dark in the night, giving no chance to react at all. And the sheer number of them makes people totally powerless.
I barely dodged a few attacks and realized that this time I had a slight enemy, and this tree demon was much more powerful than I thought. Luckily, before he went to bed, Li Mazi shouted that he was going to fight the tree demon and put the axe by his bed. I rolled over a few smooth times and went to the window of Li Mazi to copy the axe and wave it.
With the axe in his hand, the tree demon was obviously a little constrained. After I cut off a few rootstocks, the tree demon sent out an awesome cry, but there was still a little anger in the cry, obviously it was really angry!
Immediately afterwards, the roots that had wrapped Li Mazi around them actually let them go, all attacked me, and even more roots had to be drilled up from the soil. The roots grew thicker and stronger, and the axe quickly became immobile. I was sweating and yelling at Li Mazi and Fatty, but they seemed to be asleep and unconscious.
I reacted, they should have been the means to hit the Tree Demon, already in a coma. Previously, the disappeared workers and the people were probably caught up in the silence of tree demons.
Eventually, the axe was rolled away, and I was completely unarmed.
And the entire shed is already full of dense, numb rootstocks, like a big net coming at me! The sound of the roots creeping stirred my eardrums, giving me goosebumps all over my body.
After all these years in the south, Zhang Jiulin is actually going to be dumped here today? I'm in a hurry to activate the Everlasting Ring.
At this point, a ray of light suddenly came in through the stacked roots, calming me down like a glimmer of hope. With the arrival of the light, the roots were frightened and hurriedly retreated to the ground.
As the roots disappeared and the light grew, I realized that the night had passed and the sun was out the window.
The first ray of morning light breaks through the darkness and forces the roots back to the ground.
I gasped a few rough breaths, and if there weren't still holes big and small on the ground, I would have thought everything was a hallucination. I walked up and patted Li Mazi's face and found this guy sleeping tight. Though I knew he had been hit by a tree demon, I was still angry, so I went outside and looked for some cold water, and I spilled it on his face without hesitation.
Li Mazi jumped screaming: “What's going on? What's the matter?” He glanced around and looked at the basin in my hand, which later erased the cold water on his face: “Zhang Jia Xiao, what are you doing? ”
I pointed to the dense, numb cave on the ground: “The tree demon came by. If I hadn't reacted fast enough, you would have gone to Lord Yan's collar for dinner by now. ”
“What?” Li Mazi was frightened and looked closely at the ground under her feet: “Is it so powerful? ”
“We are too light enemies.” I couldn't help but give birth to a hint of fear and regret not carrying a tail jade and a ghost knife. Perhaps life has gone too smoothly in recent years, which has made me unconscious about the crisis. This can't go on!
I decided to make a quick decision and let Li Mazi wake up Fatty and Dae-su according to my method. Listen to me last night, Dae-su was scared softly and almost sat on the ground.
The old fat man is sensible: “Jiulin, what do we do now? ”
“Check out the nearby villages!” I dare not delay any longer and prepare for Big Suu to take us there.
Dasu's face was pale and the Six Gods were powerless. He kept mumbling in his mouth about something like “Here comes the reward, I'm going to die...” Li Mazi was looking at him with a bad eye. At this time, his teeth were itchy and he didn't wait for me to react. He had already quickly walked forward and slapped Dae-su in the face.
After a crisp and loud slap, not only Dae-su was stunned, but even Fatty and I were stunned by his sudden move.
Li Mazi hated iron and scolded: “Are you awake? Drive when you're awake. We didn't come all this way to see you cry! If you don't want to die, make it easier for me. If you want to die, we'll buy a ticket to leave today. ”
Big Su's eyeballs turned around and went to start the car without saying a word.
Li Mazi smiled at me: “How's my plan working? I've been watching him for a long time!” Clear communiqué of private vengeance.
I shook my head silently: "Next time you do this again, I'll do the same! ”
Li Mazi's thief laughed and got in the car with me.
Dae-su was slapped several times, his face was red and swollen, and there were clear five fingerprints on it. However, after being beaten, people were still awake, not confused, and not talking to themselves. He told me about it while driving: "This village is called Kobayashi Village, with few residents, but it is particularly superstitious. ”
We soon arrived in Kobayashi Village, but then there was no one here.
Li Mazi felt strange, walking up and not even knocking on several doors. Fatty and Dae-su looked at me with some anxiety. I weighed in four times and screamed at Li Mazi: “Stop screaming, there is no one here! ”
“What?” Li Mazi looked at me inexplicably.
I pointed to the car stamp on the ground: “Look, the ground is full of traces of cars walking by. If I'm right, Kobayashi Village people should have moved away overnight. ”
Big Soo, who is in just the right condition, is irritated and a little confused. Li Mazi clapped his hands again: “Please wake me up, my brothers and sisters are busy working on your affairs. If you don't argue anymore, we won't care about you. ”
Dae-su rushed to cover his face and nodded.
Li Mazi glanced at me with pride.
The four of us went around the village for a few laps and found that many people were in a hurry to get their bags packed and should have left with only changing clothes and things of value. Looks like Kobayashi Village people are very nervous about this tree demon. What terrible things have happened to them over the years to make them do this?
The only clue was broken, and I had to find another way.
Fatty and Dasu are outside the circle. Li Mazi is another pig teammate who can't count on it. It's a little choking to deal with this millennial demon on my own. I thought about it and finally decided to summon one of my best little friends to the rescue.
I didn't even think to pull out the phone and call the T-shirt guy: "Hey! First of all, I'm having a little trouble. I might need your help. ”
