Chapter 585: Strange Stone
"You have a unique power..."
Lin Zhen frowned, not surprised that the old locust tree demon could sense the unique power in his body. He estimated that what the old locust tree demon sensed should be the power poured into his body by the "Mrs. in the Forest".
That kind of power is consistent with the two attributes of the Five Elements: earth and wood. It is a normal phenomenon that it will be sensed by the tree demon who is also consistent with these two attributes.
"Answer my question, old tree demon, have you ever harmed anyone?" Lin Zhen repeated his question.
He was very clear about the purpose of his trip, to kill demons and demons, and had no other unnecessary thoughts.
The old locust tree demon did not hesitate and replied: "Old Chan has never harmed anyone... He has never even taken the initiative to harm any living thing... You should be able to see that Lao Chan's cultivation level is not high. If he had harmed others, I am afraid that Lao Chan would have long ago
It has transformed and left here."
What the old locust tree demon said is reasonable. Indeed, based on the years of its cultivation, if it had really been harming people to improve their cultivation, it would probably be a great demon-level existence by now.
However, there are many powerful people hidden in China. For example, the man who fought with the nine-tailed demon fox just now was so powerful that even Lin Zhen would be ashamed of himself.
Lin Zhen estimated that if this old locust tree demon really chooses to harm people for cultivation, I am afraid that it won't be long before a strong man from China comes to kill it.
However, having said that, Lin Zhen vaguely felt that something was wrong.
This old locust tree has nearly a thousand years of cultivation at least. It is understandable that it does not harm people, but can it really endure the temptation of power, and even animals have not taken the initiative to absorb it?
It is actually not difficult to confirm this. You only need to establish contact with the power of the five elements of earth and feel the roots of the old tree to know.
It is said in "The Chronicles of Evil Spirits" that "tree demons" will hide the corpses of living beings that they mutilated, hide them under the roots of trees, and slowly devour and absorb them.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhen immediately stopped hesitating, took a few steps back, and said to the old locust tree demon: "I'm going to use my own method to verify it. If you really haven't harmed anyone, I won't touch you."
The bark "mouth" of the old locust tree slowly opened and closed: "Please..."
Lin Zhen didn't say any more, and immediately knelt down half-kneeling. With a thought, he mobilized the ability he had previously obtained from the "Box Demon" and summoned an invisible and insubstantial box.
He had previously placed his personal belongings, other than the magic whip, in this invisible box that could be summoned at will. At this moment, he grabbed it and a cinnabar pen for drawing spells appeared in Lin Zhen's hand.
Lin Zhen used this pen to quickly draw a spell on the ground, and then mobilized the power in his body to connect with the nearby land through the spell...
He closed his eyes, and soon the scene under the old locust tree came to mind...
Just at this glance, Lin Zhen's mind went "Boom!"
The roots of this old locust tree have spread tens of meters away, which is of course not unusual.
Ordinary old trees can spread their roots far away, let alone this tree demon.
What shocked Lin was that tens of thousands of corpses were buried beneath this land!
Among them are animals and humans, it can be said that there are countless...
This old tree demon is lying!
This was Lin Zhen's first reaction.
But another question immediately appeared in his mind.
The roots of this old tree are indeed not entangled with these corpses, and judging from the distribution and spread of its roots, the cultivation level of this old locust tree demon is indeed not high.
If all these corpses were absorbed by it, then it should have reached the level of transformation long ago...
Thinking of this, Lin Zhen suddenly opened his eyes.
It didn't matter that he opened his eyes. The sight in front of him immediately shocked Lin Zhen. He immediately rolled over and left the position where he was originally standing!
"boom!"
Two vines as thick as pythons stabbed towards Lin Zhen's half-kneeling position like lightning, shattering the stone bricks on the ground!
Just as Lin Zhen stabilized his body, two more thick vines came from behind!
"Hmph! What a trick!" Lin Zhen snorted coldly. Today, he was different from the past. Attacks of this level were not taken seriously by Lin Zhen at all.
Lin Zhen waved his hand, and a black sword slashed horizontally towards the two vines!
Originally, with the speed of the sword, the two vines should have been cut into four parts in the next moment.
However, the real situation is that those two thick vines twisted a few times very strangely, and actually escaped Lin Zhen's extremely fast knife!
Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew that the opponent was not weak either!
It's just that this method of attacking with vines does not belong to the "tree demon", but to another kind of monster - the "vine demon"!
It is recorded in "The Chronicles of Evil Ghosts" that "vine demons" are often associated with "tree demons" or are born on cliffs. They look like pythons and can capture wild animals and absorb their nutrients, but they are not a threat to humans.
The old vine cultivates into a demon. Because of its special species, it cannot cultivate to the state of transformation. Therefore, the "vine demon" has a calm personality and preys on wild animals. It only cultivates to extend its life and does not hurt others.
According to records, monsters like "vine demons" seem to be harmless to humans.
But now, the "vine demon" Lin Zhen encountered was obviously not like this.
As his thoughts turned, four or five more vines surrounded Lin Zhen from all directions.
Lin Zhen's figure suddenly became ethereal, and then suddenly disappeared from the place the moment those vines strangled him!
The identity of the "vine demon" must be the vines that he saw just now, wrapped around the old locust tree.
Lin Zhen suddenly understood something, and an idea flashed in his mind.
The reason why the old locust tree demon's cultivation level is mediocre, even a little low, is probably because this "vine demon" is like a parasite, constantly intercepting its nutrients!
Lin Zhen entered the state of virtualization, walked against the wind, and arrived at the crown of the old locust tree in an instant!
Here, Lin Zhen saw a group of tangled vines that were vaguely human-shaped!
This should be the essence of "vine demon"!
With this form, could it be said that it wants to go against the will of heaven and forcefully transform?!
Lin Zhen was surprised. The records in "The Chronicles of Evil Spirits" were correct. It was impossible for "vine demons" to cultivate to the stage of transformation.
And judging from the tangled vines in human form, this is indeed the case.
This "vine demon" is probably dissatisfied with fate and wants to change its fate against nature. In this way, it simulates the state of transformation.
Want to go against the will of heaven? It seems that heaven has already put an end to your life! Lin Zhen did not hesitate and swung his knife towards the human-shaped vines!
