Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Moulting

This situation was beyond the expectations of Wu Qi and Zhao Guai. The lack of response from the hive was most likely because it had been abandoned by the strange bees, and there were no more golden ghosts living in it, but the fire on the top of the tree really terrified them.The moonlight is hazy tonight, and there is no lightning. How can it be said that it is on fire. Could it be that someone is setting fire on the top of the tree? This is not the most troublesome thing right now, the fire on the top of the tree is bound to spread, if there are gold ghosts in other beehives, then they will not be able to escape anyway.The demon locust tree was roasted by the fire and made a terrifying "chirp" sound, as if it was screaming.Soon, Wu Qi felt a scorching air wave coming from behind, and the thick smoke almost drowned the two of them.

"Jump! If this continues, we'll be roasted to death!" Zhao Guai yelled, pointing at the ground with a violent shake of his hand.Wu Qi was still a little hesitant at first, but when he looked up, the red flames were close at hand, and the two of them could barely breathe. This time they couldn't bear it any longer, the two made a fierce jump and fell straight down.Fortunately, the ground was covered with a layer of dead leaves several feet thick, so he would not be injured this time. Wu Qi rolled over and straightened up, only to see countless large and small fireballs falling from the sky.The dead leaves and rotting bones on the ground have been around for a long time and are full of methane gas, which is extremely flammable. When the fire ball falls, the whole dead land is immediately covered in flames, thick smoke is everywhere, and it is no longer possible to distinguish the situation of other people.

"Run!" Zhao Guai yanked Wu Qi past him, and rushed towards the depths of the jungle.After escaping from the dead place and hiding in the surrounding grass, looking back, the whole ghost-blood demon locust tree was already covered in flames, and then there was only a "boom", the demon tree was burned and collapsed, and now it seemed to be on fire. huge fire.At this moment, Wu Qi vaguely saw a black figure, quickly shuttled through the raging deadland, and got into the dense forest opposite. The speed of the figure was so fast that Wu Qi couldn't see his figure clearly under the panic, but he was definitely not a villager who came with him. This person seemed to have escaped from a demon tree that was on fire. .Wu Qi couldn't believe it. Could it be that the masters of those strange hands on the tree were humans?There are still people in this tree?

But Wu Qi obviously heard from his third uncle that those strange hands are a kind of thing called ghost hand blood vine, which was born from the nourishment of evil things, and it will not last forever. In human form? Zhao Guai originally wanted to use the power of the golden ghost to knock down everyone so that he could run away, but Cheng Yaojin was killed on the way, and he was almost roasted to death, but now he escaped from the gang of people in the village The line of sight can be regarded as achieving the goal.He pressed Wu Qi, and the two carefully lay down in the grass and waited quietly, waiting for the bright light caused by the fire to go out, and then quickly fled along to the depths of the dense forest.

At this time, they were hiding in the dark, and they could clearly see the panic of the villagers exhausted, and they couldn't help feeling a sense of joy in their hearts.The dead place is filled with extremely flammable things, and it burned up quickly. While waiting quietly, the fire light slowly dimmed, and the surrounding area was filled with a scorching and pungent smell. Piles of black smoke and dust with residual heat rushed towards the face, almost drowning people. Seeing that it was the best time to escape, Zhao Guai didn't move at all, and things went smoothly according to his expectation, but at this moment, he seemed to feel that something was missing, frowning, staring at the sporadic The ground is smoking and has become a piece of scorched earth.

Zhao Guai let out a "huh", then called Wu Qi softly and said, "Take that thing out, there seems to be something wrong!" Before Wu Qi understood what he was referring to, Zhao Guai had already stepped forward, touched the dark ink from his body, and looked at it with the light of the remaining fire. Suddenly, he slapped his head and pointed at the dark ink. He said to Wu Qi: "The aura is a bit weird. You see, under such a big fire, the color depth of this thing has not diminished. Could it be that the underground of this demon locust tree...!" Wu Qi took a look and saw that the gloomy color of the ink had deepened a lot. The originally matte black-gray surface seemed to have been touched with a layer of oil. A burst of yin and cold drilled down the palm of his hand.

At this moment, Wu Qi saw some unusual movements in the burnt ashes of the ghost blood and demon locust trees in front of him.The remaining ash from the entire demon tree is still steaming, piled up there like a grave, and the top of the ash pile seems to be slowly moving, as if something is about to climb out.Just as Wu Qi wanted to take a closer look, suddenly, a green hand stretched out from the top of the grave-shaped ashes! Wu Qi was stunned, and Zhao Guai who was on the side was also quite surprised. The two lowered their bodies and focused all their attention on the place where the hand was. Because the distance is not too far, and the viewing angle is suitable, so they can see it at this time. very clear.The five fingers of that green strange hand are spread apart, connected by webs, covered with green spots, it looks like an old tree branch covered with moss, to be precise, it should not be considered a hand, it is more appropriate to say it is an animal's claw .

Sure enough, the hand twisted around a few times, and began to move the ashes around, and then the thing inside poked out its head and body.It was a four-legged monster with no head and tail visible, and green scales all over its body. At first glance, it looked like a huddled armadillo.The thing crawled down from the pile of ashes, rolled on the spot, and crawled towards Wu Qi and the others. Zhao Guai was afraid that the villagers hiding in the dense forest opposite would be alarmed. Seeing this situation, he didn't act rashly. He just held his breath and kept silent. He also wanted to see what was crawling out of the demon locust tree's ground. A haunted place.But he didn't dare to be careless at all, and he didn't let up his precautions at all. He immediately dragged Wu Qi behind him, still holding the saber tightly in his right hand, and made a posture as if he was facing an enemy.

The strange thing seemed to have some kind of sensing ability, and it came straight in the direction of the two of them, without any deviation, as if its purpose was to come towards the two of them.Seeing that it crawled to a place that was only a few feet away from the two of them, it suddenly stopped, and then its stomach seemed to be inflated, and it quickly doubled in size.Accompanied by a "cracking" sound, the green scales on the thing's body began to fall down like peeling wall skin, and its back slowly bulged upwards, as if something was about to come out. Zhao Guai saw that the brain was hot, and his heart was not good. There might be evil spirits coming out of it. The place where the ghosts and blood demon locust trees are located is full of evil energy. Those who crawl out from under there are definitely not good people, and most of them can kill people. s things.Thinking of this, he didn't dare to breathe, and the palm of the hand holding the saber was sweating.

Suddenly, there was a crack on the back of the thing, and then there was only a meow, and a bloody thing came out of the scales like a golden cicada, and rushed towards Zhao Guai's face. go up.Zhao Guai's reaction was extremely fast, almost like thunder and lightning, he suddenly lowered his head, and the thing flew into the air, jumped onto a birch tree behind him, and climbed to a height of three or four meters in two strokes. He bared his teeth and glared at the two of them fiercely. Such a close distance allowed Wu Qi to see the face of this thing clearly, and he recognized it at a glance. This thing was actually the blood letter red that the villagers had been searching hard for!Wu Qi could recognize it even when it turned into ashes, but he didn't expect to see it for a day, and the size of this thing became much bigger, and it became more and more fierce. I really didn't expect him to hide under this demon locust tree.

Zhao Guai naturally recognized this thing. Blood Letter Red is not only extremely poisonous, but also extremely cunning. Ordinary people are unlucky enough to encounter it, and there is almost no possibility of escape. underestimate.But at this moment, Zhao Guai didn't feel fear in his heart, but more of a feeling of dumbfounding. I set up such a situation to fool these villagers, the main purpose is to escape, not to risk my life to help them eliminate the harm, now the purpose has just been achieved, unexpectedly the disaster has really been drawn out.Thinking that Zhao Guai was in a dilemma, Xuexinhong had identified the two of them, and would not let go easily, but if he fought with it at this time, his whereabouts would be exposed, and it would be impossible to run away . "I'll draw this thing away, you go first!" Zhao Guai gritted his teeth and made a desperate move, but he made an expedient plan: "I just found out the direction on the tree, you keep going north, there won't be them there People! Grandma's running alone is better than not running at all, you go as I said, if I can go out, I will catch up with you immediately!" "What about you? What do you do?" Wu Qi became a little anxious when he heard that Zhao Guai was so tragic. Seeing the strange and ferocious appearance of Blood Letter Red, he couldn't help but worry for Zhao Guai. Zhao Guai snorted and said, "Don't be a motherfucker, if you don't leave, we both have to go back to live in the cellar! Let's go!" Wu Qi was right when he heard that there was hope for someone to escape, so he gritted his teeth, buried his head in the dark forest, and groped in.This time, he showed the speed of escape. At this time, the trees in the dense forest were relatively sparse, and it was easy to shuttle. Wu Qi took advantage of the moonlight and ran northward for an unknown amount of time until he couldn't stand it anymore. Panting heavily, he fell headlong into the grass, his mouth was covered in mud, and he was lying on the ground, unwilling to get up. After a long time, Wu Qicai freed a hand, supported a silver fir tree in front of him and stood up, spit out a few mouthfuls, and turned his head to look at the original position of the fire.The trees at my location are already relatively luxuriant. At a glance, the direction of the original dead place is blocked so that the flames cannot be seen. A ghostly light blue mist is permeated in the dense forest at night, and a few lonely owls stand upright on the branches. At this moment, they seemed to be frightened, screamed twice, spread their wide wings and flew away quickly, disappearing into the night sky. Wu Qi collected himself, glanced around, and was about to continue running north. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong, and suddenly raised his head, but saw the blood letter red staring at the pair of green eyes on the silver fir tree directly in front of him. Son, staring at him expressionlessly.
