Little Junior Sister Society fears but draws sword

"It's cunning, like it's playing tricks on us."

Dadu's tone was full of strong hatred for the tree demon. His little body was as tense as a fully drawn bow. If he let go even a little, he would be doomed.

Datu, who realized that he was too excited, breathed out to calm down his mood.

"It wasn't until later that we discovered the roots hidden in our residence. Following those roots, we found the missing clan members."

Some were big and some were small, they all turned into withered bones and were buried quietly not far from their underground residence.

The youngest was just born, crowded among the piles of bones, accompanied by loess, so desolate and cruel.

Dadu knew that it was the other party's deliberate showing off and warning.

"Its roots are hidden in the dead trees above. Just touching it will wake it up."

"I can't believe it's looking at your companions right now and thinking about how to eat them."

That's why he said they couldn't leave here.

From the beginning, they were chosen to be food in each other's captivity.

But the other party also understood the principle of resource regeneration quite well. He did not eat them dry directly, but would come to eat them every once in a while.

They also tried to leave and thought about resisting.

But every time he takes action, he is thwarted by the tree demon, and then he will be punished by the tree demon.

When they watched one tribe member after another die in the hands of the tree demon, they finally softened their bones and stayed quietly in the sheepfold.

Lu Yun had been listening quietly, looking down at the shameful, angry and painful expression on Da Tu's face.

"What did you eat afterward?"

Judging from their situation, they have long been short of food.

"Eat these."

Dadi pulled out a few tree roots from the wall, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them.

"Without food, we relied on these things to survive."

The rich juice exploded in the mouth, bringing not the sweetness that made Earth happy, but an unbearable fishy stench.

Later, they used part of the tree demon's body as food, worked hard to survive, and turned themselves into the tree demon's food.

Because of this deformed food chain, their bodies are related to the tree demon to a certain extent. They have part of the tree demon in their bodies, and they will be found no matter where they go.

The clan members left one by one, but no one died naturally.

After a hundred years of changes, the original Houtu tribe is now the only one left. If this continues, within a few years, the Houtu tribe will completely disappear from the rings of history.

What's more painful than disappearing is that if they hadn't met Lu Yun and other sect members, their deaths would not have been noticed.

Maybe after many years, someone killed the tree demon and dug up the bones from the ground together.

But at that time, who knew who they were.

Datu laughed at himself, with resentment on his face. He clenched his fists and stared at Lu Yun with red eyes.

"As long as you can save us, we are willing to do anything."

Even if death is still waiting for them after they go out, they still want to take a look at the outside world.

The Houtu tribe lives underground, but that doesn't mean they don't like the sunshine outside.

After hiding in this dark and silent underground for so many years, Datu has long been tired of it.

When he took over the position of leader of the Houtu Clan from his father, he made a decision.

Either die or leave with your tribe.

Lu Yun was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

"Why choose me?"

Not surprisingly, Dadu had been secretly observing the people of the sect for a long time. Among those people, their cultivation levels were much higher than hers now.

Logically speaking, the success rate is not higher if you find someone like that.

"Because you came in last, I thought you were most afraid of death."

The more people are afraid of death, the less likely they will put themselves in danger, and they will work harder to escape after falling into a trap.Of course, after coming into contact with Lu Yun and others, he knew that his judgment was wrong.

But now I can only make mistakes.

Lu Yun was still thinking. Above her head, sand and soil were falling, and the corridor was collapsing.

"What's going on?" Datu was a little confused.

He could only take Lu Yun back, but before he had gone a few steps, a large pile of soil fell from above his head, and some people were still standing on the soil.

"Oh, there really is a cave under this earth."

The cheerful voice was a bit charming. In the dust, the twins made a surprise appearance. Miao Ruolong's female voice was very steady.

"Ayun, you are here too."

"Bah, bah." Miao Ruoling, dressed as a man, came over and took Lu Yun's arm. When she lowered her head, she saw the big soil beside her.

"Hey, where did that little dwarf come from?"

In one sentence, he could easily offend the entire Houtu clan.

Datu stared, but he didn't dare to get angry as he looked at the people coming down one after another above him.

"They're not as easy to fool as you think."

Lu Yun looked at Dadu's confused eyes and said something.

She can find the clues under the ground, and even if the rest of the people ignore it at first, they will definitely find the problem later.

The tree demon deliberately confuses them from above and prevents them from leaving easily. Isn't it just to divert their attention to the ground?

To ask why.

Probably the other party also discovered that the decline of the Houtu clan was irreversible.

It won't be long before the food he has kept in captivity will be eaten up. According to Dadu, the tree demon is very greedy.

In this way, it is natural to be anxious to refill his sheepfold.

At this time, nearly two hundred monks came to the door. This was simply history repeating itself.

However, these monks are obviously more difficult to deal with than the original Houtu tribe.

Therefore, the tree demon hid in the dark first, but instead led them to discover the Houtu tribe, making them mistakenly think that the Houtu tribe was causing trouble. It was best to fight them and reap the benefits.

Of course, even if there is no match, moving the battlefield from the surface to the underground where the tree monsters have strong roots will also weaken the monk's combat effectiveness.

Datu suddenly figured out the reason, and his face suddenly turned darker.

He actually thought that even if he couldn't kill the tree demon, he would still have to disgust him, but he was disgusted by him first.

"So this is ah."

It was the people from Linlang Pavilion who sighed after hearing what happened.

Several of them looked at Datu with bright eyes.

It's like looking at some rare treasure and wanting to get your hands on it to weigh its value, which makes Da Tutu's scalp numb.

"Go back first."

Lu Yun suggested.

With his spiritual consciousness spread out and listening to the movement over there, Lu Yun glanced at the tree roots.

He seemed indifferent, but he must have known what was going on here for a long time.

These people were deliberately lured down by the other party, and those from Linlang Pavilion were not the only ones who came down.

The nine sects are peaceful on the surface and do not disturb each other or interfere with each other's interests.

But once you encounter new interests, you may have to compete with each other.

Just like this competition, isn't it for the subsequent development of the Guman Mountains?

The Houtu tribe is one of the unknown assets of the mountain range. It is possible that someone wants to be the first to get there.
