The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 314 The Timid Tree

Seeing this scene, Lu Qian immediately stopped and looked down.

There was obviously a human head buried at the bottom of the pit.

The person's face was upward, with a lot of dust falling on his wide-open eyes and blue-black face.

He opened his mouth very wide, as if a thick object had been inserted into it, forcing it to more than double its size.

The two corners of the mouth had been torn, and there were some black blood stains on the periphery.

Wang Zirong was walking side by side with Lu Qian. Seeing him stop, she immediately stopped and turned her head to look over.

Upon seeing this strange scene, Wang Zirong's eyes widened suddenly and she couldn't help but exclaimed.

Hearing the exclamation, everyone immediately stopped and became alert.

next moment--

The sound of "boom boom" sounded one after another, and the timid trees further around seemed to be frightened by Wang Zirong's screams, and they all pulled out of the soil and ran outside.

"what happened?"

Guo Tuan, Gu Xuan, Gu Tianlai and Ge Ning glanced around first, then turned to look at Lu Qian.

The rest of the Gu family disciples had already formed a circle, drew their weapons, and looked around and above with vigilance, looking well-trained.

Lu Qian did not answer, but with a sullen face, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground under his feet.

Then, he turned to look at Wang Zirong and glared at her.

Wang Zirong covered her mouth with her hand, her face was stunned.She knew she was in the wrong, so she couldn't say anything about Lu Qian's blame.

The four men, Guo Tuan, came one after another, and everyone formed a circle, all looking at the pit on the ground.

After looking at it for a while, Guo Tu said to Gutian with a hint of sarcasm: "Just now someone seemed to say that this timid tree is harmless?"

The scene in front of me was very clear. The harmless "timid tree" buried a human corpse in the soil, penetrated it with its own roots, and the roots wrapped around it to absorb the nutrients from the corpse.

Gu Tianlai's face looked ugly at this time, and he didn't care about the verbal dispute with Guo Tuan. He said: "I know this person, he is from the Three Tigers Gang."

After saying that, he immediately explained: "The Three Tiger Gang just entered the mountain tonight. If I remember correctly, they are the third team to enter the mountain."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

In other words, only half an hour has passed since the Three Tiger Gang entered the mountain.

And their people have turned into corpses, and have been sucked by the cowardly trees, turning them into nutrients.

Gu Tianlai murmured: "There are no signs of fighting around, how did they die?"

After he finished speaking, no one answered.

A gust of mountain wind blew by, making the leaves rustle.Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Lu Qian glanced at the timid trees that had all fled away, looking at their bodies swaying in the wind, and thought to himself: "If Bai Tan were here, I might be able to communicate with them, but it's a pity."

Gu Xuan suddenly said: "Dig! Search."

After the two orders were issued, the disciples of the Gu family immediately took action.

Two men came over and started digging, enlarging the hole in the ground.

The others, working in pairs, began to check other tree pits around.

After a while, the first body was dug out.

Seeing the body on the ground and the clothes he was wearing, even Lu Qian recognized it.

They are indeed the Three Tiger Gang who have just entered the mountains!
"There's also—"

"There's more here—"

"here has--"

"There's another—"

……

After a while, everyone dug out eleven corpses from the tree pit left by the escaped timid tree.

Looking at the clothes, these corpses are obviously from the Three Tigers Gang.

Gu Tianlai said with some disbelief: "There are a total of 12 people from the Three Tiger Gang entering the mountain this time. Although the strength of the Three Tiger Gang is not strong, the people they came this time, from the gang leader Feng Biao down, are all the elites of the gang. But now, only half an hour after entering the mountain, the whole army was wiped out, and only the gang leader Feng Biao escaped."

After a moment of silence, Gu Xuan said coldly: "Lone Wolf Ridge is inherently dangerous, so there is nothing surprising about the entire army being wiped out."

Ge Ning said: "The key is that there are no traces of fighting here. This means that they were killed without even returning their hands. Has the cause of death been found?"

After hearing the question, a Gu family disciple came back from a distance and reported: "The eleven deceased died of the same cause. There were strangulation marks on their necks. They all died of suffocation. In addition, there were tears in the corners of their mouths and abdominal cavities. And puncture marks, I suspect they were all punctured by tree roots.”

Hearing this, Gu Tianlai wondered: "The timid tree is a cedar tree. It has neither branches nor a well-developed root system. What are they used to strangle?"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Qian's expression suddenly changed, he took his hand out of his pocket, waved it outward, and a divine fire flying crow flew out.At the outermost edge, a disciple of the Gu family suddenly fell down on his back.

His hands grabbed his neck, as if his neck was strangled by something.

Gu Xuan's face suddenly changed with fear, and he shouted: "Be careful!"

As he spoke, he drew his sword in his hand, and his body flew out like an arrow from the string, arriving at the outermost edge of the circle of people.

"Bah—"

He slashed out with his sword, making a "clang" sound, and the steel sword seemed to strike the steel.

As the sword fell, everyone saw a finger-thick rattan, which almost blended into the night, emerging from the ground.

After the rattan was cut off, a milky white liquid spurted out from the fracture, and the broken rattan stood twisted and danced in the air as if due to pain.

A divine fire flying crow shot by Lu Qian was flying behind the Gu family disciple who fell to the ground first.

With a "boom" sound, the divine fire crow flew somewhere and saw a long flame burning in the night sky.

One end of this flame leads to the ground not far away, and the other end leads to the neck of the fallen Gu family disciple.

As the flames ignited, the Gu family disciple pulled hard on his neck with both hands, seeming to pull away the thing wrapped around his neck. Then he rolled on the spot to avoid the flames that were rapidly spreading towards him.

Behind him, only a finger-thick strip was left, dancing in the night sky with bright yellow flames.

A pungent smell came from that direction at the same time.

The smell was a bit like rotten eggs, very unpleasant.

"save--"

"it's here!"

"here!"

There was chaos all around.

Seven or eight Gu family disciples standing outside jumped up one after another and fell to the ground on their backs.

The remaining people drew their swords and danced wildly in the void.

Occasionally, a vine was cut off by a knife, and a stream of white liquid spurted out, revealing its figure in the night sky.

Furuta Lai shouted urgently: "Formation! Formation! That thing is invisible!"

At this moment, Lu Qian had already covered his eyes with spiritual power. At a glance, even he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

At this moment, there were countless finger-thick vines emerging from the ground all around. They were completely hidden in the night, silently pressing towards everyone who came close, and then wrapped around the person's neck unexpectedly.

In the blink of an eye, ten people were entangled in the canes and fell to the ground.

Except for one person who was rescued by Lu Qian, the others whose necks were wrapped around their necks were all struggling on the ground.

Gu Xuan roared angrily, the steel knife in his hand flashed with cold light, and his whole body was like a rapidly rotating top, dancing around the crowd.

The steel knife in his hand was obviously not ordinary.As the blade passed by, each vine was cut off.

The mountain wind blew by, and the surrounding trees made another rustling sound.

In a short period of time, Gu Hyun had already circled the crowd.

Behind him, dozens of chopped vines were left.

Half of these broken rattan roots are rooted in the ground, standing upright, twisting and dancing.

The other half lost its support and fell to the ground, swimming like a snake on the ground.

Milky white liquid sprayed around like small fountains, scattered, and disappeared on the ground.

The disciples of the Gu family who were entangled in the vines had all been freed by Gu Xuan's rescue. All of them blushed, holding steel knives in their hands and began to form a formation to defend against the enemy.

Suddenly—

Lu Qian's eyes, covered by his mental power, clearly saw that on the earth, like a new bud, something as thin as a finger emerged from the ground silently.

This time, they did not attack from the outside, but appeared directly at the feet of everyone present.

Everyone has five roots at their feet.

Four of them came out from all sides, while the other one came out directly from between the legs.

After these finger-thick things burrowed out of the soil, they immediately grew crazily and grew twisted vines, entwining themselves around people.

even--

Straight stab!
