Bai Yao came out of the wooden house and was keenly aware that the bloody Yin Qi quickly retreated.
The sound of rustling ropes mopping the floor could also be heard in the grass.
Her body was like electricity, chasing the Yin Qi.
The opponent retreated very quickly.
However, when he found Bai Yao following him like a shadow, the other party became angry.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several piercing sounds swept across from all directions.
Bai Yao's sharp eyes noticed that it was a few vines that made this strange sound.
The vines seemed to have eyes and were wrapping around her crazily.
"Little tricks."
Bai Yao picked a few leaves casually.
A flick of the fingertips.
Whoosh!
The leaves were nailed to the demonic vine with precision.
The demon vine suddenly broke into several sections and fell to the ground, twisting strangely and flowing out dark green sticky juice.
When the other party saw that she was not someone to be trifled with, he turned around and ran away.
Bai Yao chased her for a long distance before he realized that she had reached the depths of the mountain range.
The air here is filled with a strong smell of blood and rot.
Bai Yao frowned in disgust, following the traces left by the demonic vines.
She saw a towering ancient tree that blocked out the sun.
The giant tree is so big that it requires three or five people to hug it.
The demonic vine that attacked her just now came out of this tree.
"Sure enough, there are spirits in the deep mountains and old forests. There are really ghosts and monsters here."
Bai Yao stared at the giant tree indifferently, "Should you get out on your own, or should I set you on fire?"
The leaves rustled, and the countless vines hanging on the giant tree came alive.
The waves were coming towards Bai Yao from all directions, as if they were going to submerge her in the sea of vines.
Let her suffocate to death.
Countless demonic vines crawled up from Bai Yao's feet like snakes.
Bai Yao's pretty face was full of impatience, "It's just a monster, how dare you make a mistake."
She grabbed the demonic vine wrapped around her waist, brewing spiritual power in her palms, and forcefully poured the spiritual power into the demonic vine in a particularly simple and crude way.
Boom——!
There was a loud noise.
The old tree exploded!
The next second.
A grey-faced woman with an explosive head and a battered body flew out of the tree and collapsed at Bai Yao's feet.
Around her neck, a silky golden light was firmly locked.
It seemed as if if she dared to struggle, her head would be separated.
"You, who are you and why do you use spiritual power?"
The woman looked at her in panic, "In the Age of Dharma Ending, spiritual energy is exhausted. You are clearly a human being, how can you cultivate spiritual energy?"
Bai Yao was condescending, with an indifferent look on his face, "It's none of your business."
"Whatever I ask you, just answer it."
"How many years have you been practicing as a spirit monster?"
"Fifteen hundred years..."
Bai Yao was thoughtful.
A woman is a woman transformed into the spirit of an old tree. She is a type of spirit called charm, also called a wood spirit.
This kind of little spirit was not even a little monster nine thousand years ago. It was the lowest form of monster.
Mei is good at bewitching and likes to suck human blood.
That's why the scent of this wood spirit is mixed with the strong smell of blood, and it looks like there's a lot of killing.
"Why are you following us?"
Bo Jing shook his head cautiously.
Bai Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Okay, let me put it another way and ask, does it have anything to do with you that the poor mother and son have become like this?"
Bo Jing's eyes flashed with guilt, and he was about to deny it.
The golden light on his neck suddenly tightened.
"I advise you to think carefully before speaking."
Bo Jing gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to know that he had offended a big shot that he shouldn't have offended this time, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"I was not the one who harmed their mother and son, the old man was the culprit!"
Bojing lay on the ground and kowtowed for mercy, "Great Immortal... please let me go. I have never harmed anyone. Please let me go. It's not easy for me to practice till now..."
Bai Yao looked indifferent, "You didn't harm anyone, so where did the bloody smell on your body come from?"
"That's what I left after catching wild beasts in the mountains. I really haven't harmed anyone..." The wood spirit kept begging for mercy.
It's strange that Bai Yao believed her lies.
Go straight to the giant tree.
Mu's spirit suddenly panicked, and he managed to stay calm, "Master, what are you going to do..."
Bai Yao slapped the tree trunk with his backhand.
A layer of bark suddenly peeled off, revealing a dozen skulls embedded in the trunk.
There are more than a dozen.
For more than 1,500 years, Shuli has devoured countless people!
Still want to lie to her?
Then her life has been in vain all these years.
Bai Yao looked at the panicked Bo Jing expressionlessly, "You are a monster. It is not easy for you to practice till now. But you have gone astray. If you meet me today, you will be unlucky."
The souls of those killed by the wood spirit were all sealed in the tree and unable to move.
Killing the wood spirit can only save these souls.
You can also gain a lot of merit.
However, let’s finish Zaizai’s housework first, and then deal with the wood spirit.
"This world is always dominated by the weak and the strong!" Seeing that she was not going to let him go, Bojing roared unwillingly.
"Human beings are born low. What makes them unable to withstand temptation and desire is that they worshiped me first. They thought I was a tree spirit. They came to pray under the tree day and night, asking for this and that. It was so noisy!"
"Once I fail to satisfy their desires, they will burn me. Why!"
"They all deserve to die!"
A long time ago, before she took shape, she was worshiped by people from 1,500 years ago.
They regarded her as a mountain god and prayed before her day and night.
But no one knows that she is not a mountain god, she is just a spirit with spiritual intelligence.
At the beginning, she could satisfy the desires of those people, help them get out of the deep forest, and allow them to rely on the mountains to feed themselves and capture prey to support their families.
But gradually, people's desires become bigger and bigger.
She is not capable enough to give them what they want.
The fewer people who believe in her, the more clearly she can feel her power draining faster.
She can only capture wild beasts to increase her strength.
But that time, she was found with vines wrapped around an elk, and the deer was sucked dry of its blood.
The villagers who saw it were so frightened that they ran down the mountain in panic. When they came back, they brought hundreds of people with them.
Everyone held a torch in their hands, threatening to burn her, the monster.
The fire burned her body painfully.
These people were the children she watched grow up and protected.
But they wanted to kill her and burn her in retaliation.
Wood spirit hates it.
In a fit of anger, he devoured all those hundred people.
Only then did she discover that devouring humans would increase her cultivation level faster.
So from then on, anyone who came to this deep mountain to get close to the giant tree was strangled alive by her and devoured.
"I'm right!" The wood spirit roared viciously.
Bai Yao's cold eyes looked at her sharply.
"You are a spirit born from the air of the mountains and forests. You have been worshiped by people and gained the power of faith. In their hearts, you are already a mountain god, and you can be regarded as a mountain god in name only."
"It's a pity that you have broken your Taoist conscience. Regardless of whether the first group of people who wanted to kill you were right or wrong, you yourself know how many innocent people you have killed in these fifteen hundred years."
"There's no need to act here."
Bai Yao would not tolerate such a spirit who was good at bewitching and killing people.
