The bearded man vomited a mouthful of black blood, lowered his head, widened his eyes, and stared blankly at the wooden thorns as thick as his arms protruding from his chest.
"This... cluck..."
Before he finished speaking, green branches and leaves suddenly sprouted from his mouth, and his body shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, losing life and turning into a human-shaped wooden sculpture.
Soon, the "wood carving" moved and merged with the wooden thorn.
The "Wooden Sculpture" spoke: "Humble humans are all insects, and they are my blood food!"
The next moment, hundreds of roots poked out from the lake, their tips transformed into human shapes, and strangled Xu Wencheng and others.
boom.
The roots turned into heavy hammers and hit Ma Zhiyuan's chest hard, causing Ma Zhiyuan to fly backwards.
He vomited a mouthful of blood and widened his eyes, "What on earth are these? Each of them has the strength of the second, fifth and sixth levels!"
The huge wooden hammer came, and before Ma Zhiyuan had time to dodge, a sword flashed past, cutting off the roots of the humanoid monster.
The humanoid monster whose roots were cut off instantly shattered, but a new humanoid monster grew out of the broken roots. It grinned ferociously, and its arm turned into a huge wooden knife, slashing at the human who had come out halfway.
Luo Heng frowned, pulled out the alloy spear from the water, and threw it to Ma Zhiyuan, "Old Ma, take the spear!"
At this time, the humanoid monster had already killed him.
Luo Heng quickly raised his knife to block.
Cheng!
The wooden knife and the alloy long knife collided, making a metallic clang sound.
Huge power came. Luo Heng did not expect that the other party's power was so terrifying. He flew backwards and hit the lake heavily, causing splashes of tens of meters high.
Before the water spray fell, there was a whooshing sound in the air, and seven or eight humanoid monsters rushed into the lake, leaving afterimages on the lake.
A huge energy shock exploded in the lake, and the lake water rolled and stirred, and large waves of water surged up, with blood dyeing the water waves red.
Ma Zhiyuan was horrified. These monsters were too ferocious. Luo Heng was below, so he was probably more likely to be in trouble. He gritted his teeth and a golden light flashed in his eyes. He was about to raise his gun and step forward when he suddenly saw a figure falling from the lake.
Fly out.
It was Luo Heng.
But at this time, he was covered in bruises and was lying in mid-air, vomiting a mouthful of black blood.
There was another scream that broke through the sky.
Seven or eight humanoid monsters rushed out of the lake and rushed towards Luo Heng with a fierce attitude, quite like they would take advantage of your illness to kill you.
Luo Heng shouted loudly, frantically squeezing the spiritual energy in his body, gathering the blade, and slashed out with one strike.
"Open the sky!"
The terrifying sword energy that was a hundred meters long was slashed out, as if it was going to split the whole world apart.
The seven or eight monsters, seeing that they could not leave the area covered by the sword energy, instantly moved closer to the monster in the middle. The seven or eight bodies intertwined and merged, rapidly expanded, and turned into a tree monster dozens of meters high.
The sword energy fell, but it was entangled by the tree demon's countless branches. After a spooky clicking sound, Luo Heng's sword energy condensed all his energy, and exploded inch by inch.
Luo Heng, whose lamp had run out, looked at this scene with a pale face.
On the trunk of the tree demon, the mottled bark squirmed, and a huge human face emerged.
"It's ridiculous that you bugs dare to resist!"
It smiled ferociously, and dozens of branches shot towards Luo Heng like arrows.
Luo Heng felt miserable in his heart. He couldn't even stand firmly. It was impossible to block such a violent attack.
At this moment.
But he saw a word "卍" appearing in front of Luo Heng out of thin air.
The character "卍" turned into golden Buddha light, condensed into a spherical light shield, and protected Luo Heng within it.
Bang bang bang bang.
Dozens of branches and vines were pierced on the light shield, and exploded with powerful force, making an ear-splitting sonic boom.
The golden mask remained motionless.
Luo Heng, who had narrowly escaped death, took a long breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked gratefully at Li Xiang, who was not far away.
at this time.
The characters "卍" appeared one by one, forming a golden light mask, covering Xu Wencheng and others who were struggling to support themselves.
Each of these Qi Refiners was seriously injured. If Li Xiang hadn't come to his aid, they might have been blamed here.
However, when everyone looked at these humanoid monsters, they felt a sense of despair in their hearts.
Each of the humanoid monsters transformed by the roots has a second-level, fifth-level, or sixth-level combat power. Looking at it, there are hundreds of them.
What makes people even more desperate is that these monsters cannot be killed at all!
Fire attacks, thunder strikes, knife slashes, no matter what method they use to kill these monsters, new monsters will continue to grow from the waist-thick roots.
"What the hell is this?!" Nie Zhuyin covered his chest and gasped.
"These things are so evil." Ma Zhiyuan looked solemn.
No one had an answer and subconsciously looked at Xu Wencheng.
Xu Wencheng's face turned pale, he was silent for a long time, and then he slowly spoke:
"Ten years ago, when I went to Tongzhou Prefecture for further study, I saw it in a book called "The Record of Ten Thousand Demons". If I remember correctly, this should be a hundred demon trees."
"This kind of monster is formed by the symbiosis of dozens or even hundreds of tree monsters. They use branches, leaves, vines, or roots to capture living creatures and use their flesh and blood as nutrients."
"These tree demons share a demon elixir. As long as the demon elixir is not destroyed, they will be able to resurrect continuously."
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to have seen a life-saving straw.
But the next moment, the joy on everyone's faces quickly faded.
They are already in danger, who can find the demon elixir of this tree demon and destroy it?
Everyone subconsciously looked at the huge golden body of Dharma.
Countless huge vines enveloped the Vajra Demon Subduing Pestle, making it impossible for Fudo Ming King's golden body to move at all.
Li Xiang is also struggling to support himself.
He had just entered the second level, but he was able to contain the true form of a hundred demonic trees and protect everyone with the "卍" Buddha light. This was already beyond everyone's expectations and even their understanding.
Although they knew it was impossible, everyone still subconsciously thought of Li Xiang.
In just a few days, this young man gave them too many shocks and surprises.
From the moment he returned to his ancestors, he was followed by miracles.
Only this time...
"Bah!"
A soft drink came from the center of the lake.
Everyone subconsciously looked up.
I saw a figure, and at some point, it appeared in front of the tree demon.
Countless talismans flew out from his body, connected end to end, and clung to the huge tree trunk with lightning speed.
Like chains, wrapping around the tree trunk.
The Baigen Demon Tree focused its attention on Li Xiang and Xu Wencheng, and did not even notice the sneak attack human being.
What frightened him even more was that the aura released by this sneak attack was actually of the same level as himself.
Third level atavist!
Hundreds of demonic trees sensed danger, and countless vines and branches turned into spikes and stabbed at the attacker.
Ye Chen refused to give in, raised the corners of his mouth, and shouted softly:
"lead!"
After the words fell, starting from him, the runes on the talisman chains clinging to the tree trunks lit up, like lines of fire, igniting from near to far.
Just for a moment.
Tens of thousands of runes were lit.
Chains of talisman paper were wrapped around the trunk of the dryad, shining with a strange red light.
The huge body of the hundred-root demon tree looks magnificent under the bright light of tens of thousands of runes.
"burst!"
As Ye Chen finished speaking, thirty-eight thousand talismans burst into flames.
