Chapter 227, Falling Sky Lake(1/2)
Su Chen let out a long breath and finally got rid of the interference of the tree spirit, but he still went to a higher level to prevent the tree spirit from having any back-ups.
There was no surprise. After seeing Su Chen escape, the tree spirit did give up, but it mocked: "Relying on help from others is nothing. If you have the guts, come down and pass by your own strength."
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked down again, pretending to be angry and said: "Okay! I'm coming down, pick it up!"
The tree spirit was shocked and looked at Su Chen with wide eyes, wondering if this guy was a fool and fell for it just by prodding him casually.
However, it discovered that a stone in its sight was gradually enlarging.
Just when the stone was about to hit the dryad's eyes, a branch quickly blocked the stone.
"It's better to have more hands. I won't play with you anymore."
Su Chen also mocked, then ignored the tree spirit and continued climbing.
"You bastard, if you can, don't come down here. Come down and see if I can't beat you to death!"
"Damn humans!"
Suddenly, the tree spirit paused and stopped scolding. Su Chen immediately realized that something was wrong. He realized that he had made a huge mistake and should not have thrown stones at the tree spirit.
Sure enough, the face on the trunk of the tree spirit turned into a sinister smile, and then its countless branches simultaneously picked up the surrounding stones and threw them at Su Chen crazily.
If you do evil by God, you can still forgive it; if you do evil by yourself, you will not live!
Su Chen's intestines were filled with regret at this moment. Why did he teach the tree spirits to use stones? I'm afraid that no one will dare to take the spiritual spring of this Tianchi in the future. What a sin!
Soon, stones rained down on him. Su Chen could only speed up again and climb up, but he still got hit several times and grimaced in pain.
Just after the first round of bombardment, the tree spirit had prepared the second batch of stones. This time, it planned to strike in a covering manner. It would no longer focus on one place and block all of Su Chen's escape routes until he was killed.
Until it falls.
"Young Master Wang...Grandpa, please think of a solution quickly!"
Ruoxi looked anxiously below, while Xueyao couldn't help but snicker.
"Xi'er, don't worry, let me think about it..."
Just when Grandpa Ruoxi was thinking of a way, suddenly, the tree spirit put down all the stones in his hand and put on a cute and cute look, as if he was apologizing to Su Chen.
The three people below all looked confused. What is going on?
When they looked up at Su Chen, they suddenly realized.
"Young Master Wang is so smart!"
At this moment, Su Chen on the cliff was holding a slightly red stone, pointing it at the ancient tree spirit below.
That's right, that's a powerful fire stone.
However, Su Chen didn't really mean to throw it away, he just wanted to scare the tree spirit. After the tree spirit became obedient, he put away the powerful rocks.
After that, without any accidents, he climbed to the bottom of the protruding rock in one breath.
The protruding area of the rock is not large, but it can accommodate one or two people.
,,
After a while.
Under the cliff.
"Why was there no movement after Mr. Wang went up?"
Ruoxi stared nervously at the protruding rock, feeling inexplicably panicked. She always felt that something was wrong.
But her grandfather just responded casually: "Maybe he's doing exercises and regulating his breathing. He's thinking about how he'll get down later. Don't worry too much."
"Yeah."
Ruoxi still felt uneasy. After thinking wildly for a while, she said anxiously, "Grandpa, why don't you go up and take a look? I'm really worried."
"All right."
Grandpa Ruoxi made a forward gesture and was about to leave when Xueyao suddenly exclaimed.
"No! Look!"
Ruoxi immediately looked up and saw Su Chen's body hanging weakly on the edge of the rock, and then falling vertically like a falling stone.
,,
a moment ago.
On the cliff.
Su Chen jumped onto the rock with all his strength.
But before he could fall down, his heart had already thumped, and a sense of fear came over him.
His first reaction was to shout for help. However, before he could shout, he suffered a heavy blow to the abdomen, which caused him to lose his voice in pain.
"Boy, no one can come to save you this time. Hand over the treasure map and I will consider giving you a happy death."
What Su Chen never expected was that the hunchbacked old man was hiding on the rock, waiting for him to fall into a trap.
He turned around with difficulty and lay on the ground. He could not sit still and wait for death. He wanted to climb down from the rock. Even if he fell to his death, it would be better than being killed by the hunchbacked old man.
But how could the hunchbacked old man let him get his wish? He stepped on his calf, preventing him from moving forward.
It was at this time that he saw a depression on the rock below his cheek, which contained a drop of thick mucus.
Tianquanxin!
Su Chen guessed that the reason Tianquanxin was not taken by the hunchbacked old man must be that the hunchbacked old man wanted to use it as bait to lure him up.
If he takes action from below, Grandpa Ruoxi and Xueyao will stop him. It is obvious that the hunchbacked old man hates himself to the extreme and does not want another accident to happen when he kills him.
He decisively stuck out his tongue and licked Tianquanxin into his mouth. At this moment, the hunchbacked old man was belatedly aware of it, but he was not angry because of it. After all, in his opinion, Su Chen was a dying person.
It is useless to have the heart of Tianquan.
"I thought you didn't dare to enter the valley, but I didn't expect that you would risk your life just to restore your appearance. It's really stupid."
"How does Tianquanxin taste? Are you full? Hand over the treasure map when you are full!"
Su Chen struggled to get up and stood facing the hunchbacked old man. He inserted one hand into his clothes and placed it on his chest and heart. He said with a ferocious smile: "The treasure map is here. If you have the ability, just kill me with one palm and come and get it yourself."
After saying that, he leaned backward and prepared to jump off the cliff upside down.
But how could the hunchbacked old man let him get his wish? He quickly pierced his right chest with a hand knife and hung his body on the edge of the rock. Then, he opened his clothes and checked the position of his left chest.
However, after looking through it, the hunchbacked old man found nothing, and immediately knew that he had been deceived. But at this time, Su Chen's head was drooping and he was already dying.
So, he searched around Su Chen's body again, but still couldn't find the treasure map.
"It seems that the treasure map is not on you."
After saying that, he shook his hands gently and threw Su Chen's body off the cliff.
"Young Master——"
Ruoxi's roar echoed back and forth on the cliff. This was the last sound Su Chen heard before he fell into coma.
Plop——
His body fell into the Tianchi below the cliff.
,,
I don't know how long it took, but Su Chen gradually woke up.
He once again escaped death.
On the rock, he deliberately said that the treasure map was placed on the left side of his chest. In fact, he was reminding the hunchbacked old man not to attack his heart, as that would destroy the treasure map.
Su Chen knew that he had amazing self-healing abilities. As long as he was not killed in one blow, he could basically come back to life. Therefore, he bet that he could still survive after his right chest was smashed.
Facts have proved that he won the bet.
After waking up, he quickly performed the Turtle Breathing Technique to prevent himself from choking to death from the water. Then he began to examine himself, especially his right chest.
As he expected, the right chest had healed, but there was still some lingering pain, and there was still a black mark left on the surface of the skin.
He guessed that this might be a special mark left by Mo Yun Palm. After all, the palms of people who practice Mo Yun Palm will turn black.
After confirming that he could move, he quickly rushed out of the water. At this moment, he also found that the mask on his face had disappeared. He guessed that it might have been torn to pieces by the wind during the fall.
He wanted to go and see where Ruoxi and the others were immediately, but found that there was no one around Tianchi anymore.
In the process of turning his head, he accidentally saw the reflection on the water and was shocked because the face of a stranger was reflected on the water.
After being frightened, he realized that this unfamiliar face was actually him.
Tianquanxin has taken effect, his face has regenerated, and the scars burned by the fire have completely disappeared.
He stared blankly at his face for a while and found that his new face was still somewhat similar to his old self. He seemed to have become more mature and more heroic.
In terms of his aesthetics, he feels that he has become more handsome, at least as handsome as Ji Wuya.
However, he quickly realized that now was not the time to be narcissistic. If Xi Xueyao and the others had gone and how they were doing now, would they have been poisoned by the hunchbacked old man?
At this moment, a playful voice came.
