After the immortal disappeared

But the grass blades are growing wildly, and it can be seen that they have not been pruned for a while.

After the Panlong Army occupied Xiqiao, the garden was abandoned. The capital city is in ruins, and no one can take care of it for the time being.

General Nan Ke frowned: "The grass is too long."

The pennisetum next to him is nearly six feet long. Even if no one takes care of it for two months, can it grow so tall? Then in a few months, this place will become a weed paradise.

Chang's housekeeper said: "That's how it is in the West Garden. All plants will grow wildly. If they are not pruned for a few days, they will be in trouble."

General Nan Ke asked curiously: "Don't you look for the reason?"

"The late king also sent people to dig three feet into the ground to search, but nothing was found." Chang's chamberlain said, "The palace also asked magicians to come and see it. They only said that the vitality here is rich, it can promote the growth of vegetation, and it is also very good for the human body. Queen I am weak, so I often come here to sit in the pavilion and watch the flowers.”

"This place can stimulate the growth of vegetation, but it is not beneficial to the human body, but harmful to the human body." The red general said lightly, "The Queen died early, right?"

"Ah, yes. In the third year after moving in..."

General Red said to the soldiers behind him: "Spread out and find the place where the largest number of snakes, insects, rats and ants gather!"

The crowd immediately dispersed.

The garden is very big. Thirty or forty people put in and immediately disappeared.

These dozens of people would not pity the flowers and leaves, and they would stab the ground with their weapons. Of course, the lush grass nest is inhabited by small creatures. Rats and ants are scrambling to escape, and willow branches even poked into a snake's nest.

If she hadn't been on a mission, she would have wanted to grill all these seven or eight snakes into spicy strips.

At this moment, He Lingchuan saw a figure flash past from the corner of his eye and jump into the grass.

Although the opponent was fast, He Lingchuan had better eyesight, and he immediately recognized that it was a weasel, as big as a wild dog.

With this kind of body shape, he must be a monster, right?

He followed in two steps. There were all shuddering sounds in front of him, but they quickly disappeared.

He Lingchuan moved forward through the grass in the direction where the sound disappeared, and soon found a big tree at the end of the long grass.

The dragon-clawed locust tree, which can only be hugged by six people, has lush branches and leaves, and the leaves can actually reflect the luster of metal in the sunlight.

He walked around the tree and found no holes.

How did the shadow disappear?

He Lingchuan zoomed in and searched in circles.

Finally, he found a hole under the low hill two feet away from the root of the tree. The entrance to the cave was blocked by thick shrubs and covered with a few broken tiles, the kind that can be seen everywhere in the garden.

He Lingchuan carefully observed the traces of the cave entrance and had an idea. Based on his experience in hunting monsters on the Chipa Plateau, there are at least four or five yellow weasels living here, probably a whole family, neatly organized.

The West Garden has lush vegetation and numerous snakes and rats, making it a paradise for weasel monsters.

He Lingchuan took out a bunch of herbs from his arms, lit them, and threw them into the hole while keeping an eye on the surrounding area.

Soon, in addition to the hole, the old locust tree also started to smoke.

It seems that the soil cave and the bottom of the tree are connected to each other.

He raised his voice and shouted: "There is a nest of weasel monsters here!"

There was a rustle in the grass, and before He Lingchuan could even blink a few times, the red general came to his side.

This is also... too fast.

General Red looked at the old locust tree, then leaned over to look at the entrance of the cave, and praised: "Well done."

Just after hearing two squeaks, the ferret demon jumped out of the hole and bit the red general.

He Lingchuan covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly.

Sure enough, the next second, the red general grabbed it by the neck and carried it in his hand.

The reason why I don't mention its big tail is because creatures like weasels also have biochemical weapons...

Regardless of its grinning teeth, the red general shook the yellow weasel in his hand: "I know you understand human speech. Cooperate with me, and your whole family will not be hurt."

This little animal is the most sensitive to Qi movements. The pressure on her body was terrifying, and the Weasel Demon gave up after struggling for a few times, chirping a few times.

It was held in the hands of the red general and could not shrink into a ball, but its tail kept trembling, as if it had seen a natural enemy. He Lingchuan was really afraid that it couldn't help but let out a P.

Fortunately, the red general immediately said: "I keep my word. What is there under Laohuai?"

The ferret demon chirped a few more times, and the red general seemed to understand, so he said to He Lingchuan: "Call everyone here and bring the tools for digging the ground."

He Lingchuan nodded and went to do it.

Just a quarter of an hour later, the Gale Army and craftsmen arrived with tools.

General Red had already let go of the weasel demon. He pointed at the old locust tree and said, "Follow the direction of the weasel hole and dig under the tree until you dig out something."

This ground had not been touched for who knows how many years. It was as hard as iron, but it could not stop everyone from shoveling and hoeing, and a big hole was soon dug out.

The further down you go, the darker the soil becomes.

The soil below four feet is dark red, and with water seeping from the ground, it feels wet and sticky, and it really looks a bit like blood...

The red general looked at it and said: "The Yin Qi is stronger than the anger, and there are also wood ghosts growing there. What good will happen to the weak if they stay here for a long time?"

Chamberlain Chang also craned his neck to look into the pit: "That magician is talking nonsense."

Willow snorted: "Maybe the magician knows everything in his heart."

While everyone was digging the ground, the old locust tree suddenly stopped moving without any wind, and its branches and leaves rustled.

The craftsmen were stunned and did not dare to continue. Only the Gale Army turned a blind eye and continued to hoe.

"This tree has absorbed nutrients from the ground and has become a monster. Now it's worried that we will dig up its roots." General Red said, pressing his hand on the locust tree, "Don't cause trouble, and I won't hurt your life."

But her warning didn't work this time. The old locust tree rustled suddenly, and the soil beneath everyone's feet moved.

The door panel stood at the bottom, and two tree roots suddenly protruded from the soil. One wrapped around his calf and pulled hard, and the other wrapped around his waist and tightened it hard.

The door panel was caught off guard, and he fell to the ground with a groan of pain. The wicker on the side could see that his waist was suddenly narrowed. With the strength of this old tree, it doesn't seem to be a problem to strangle a person in half.

The strangest thing is, how come the locust tree has as developed aerial roots as a banyan tree?

Willow pulled out the knife with his backhand and chopped it on the root of the tree.

With this woman's strength, she could chop off a bear's head, but the root of the tree was intact, with only a few white marks.

Everyone also heard a "dang" sound, which was very clear. The wood actually looked more like metal than wood.

The next moment, He Lingchuan threw himself into the deep pit, raised his knife and cut off the tree roots in two blows.

The door panel immediately pressed against the waist and took a long breath. It was so dangerous that it was almost strangled.

"Everyone get up!" He Lingchuan shouted, grabbing two nearby craftsmen and throwing them out of the pit. The other Gale soldiers jumped out on their own without having to explain.

Thanks to his foresight, more tree roots emerged from the soil and entangled themselves with people, as flexible as a python.

He Lingchuan shot out his sword like rain, cutting off the roots of the trees that were coming.

There was also red liquid flowing out from the root section, which looked more like blood.

A craftsman at the pit used a spade and a pickaxe to knock at the roots of the tree. The root was not broken, but the pickaxe head was smashed away.

At first glance, everyone realized how hard the tree roots were.

It's almost time to catch up with Miyagi outside.

"I won't eat the toast." The red general pulled out the spear from nowhere. The tip of the spear was burning with pale fire, and it pierced the thick trunk of the tree.

When the flames met the locust tree, a "hula" sound spread in all directions, and those who didn't know what was going on thought they had poured oil on it.

The bark of the tree crackled when burned, and the movement was crisp and sharp, like a howl.

The red general pulled out his spear and walked around the Locust Tree. He also broke off a root and looked at it carefully.

"Not bad!"

He Lingchuan could tell that she was a little surprised, but very happy. Then the red general gently knocked on the tree trunk, and the pale flame magically disappeared.

If it weren't for the scorching aroma, and if the tree trunk hadn't been burned black, the raging fire just now would have been an illusion.

The tip of the red general's spear hit the tree trunk again: "If you dare to resist again, I will have you wiped out."

This time, Longzhaohuai didn't react at all.

Then she said to everyone: "Keep digging."

The craftsman and the Gale Army jumped down and dug the hole.

No matter how hard they dig, the tree roots won't stick out and cause trouble.

In fact, it is very difficult to dig at this time, because the roots of the locust tree are still twisted and tangled at such a deep place, as if they were woven into a net to firmly protect the things underneath.

At this time, the red general instead told everyone to try not to damage the roots of the tree.

However, various animal bones were gradually unearthed from the pit, including cats, dogs, and even three human bones!

Two of them were adult men and women, and the last one was very small, still a baby.

General Nan Ke asked curiously: "This locust tree has begun to catch and eat people, but the palace doesn't know about it?"

Chang's servant was standing nearby, coughing slightly and explaining: "These people were not captured by the Sophora Demon himself, but were buried here."

Arlo turned the corpse over, and a big hole was dented in the back of the male corpse's skull. This was obviously a fatal injury.

Liu Tiao spat: "All the palaces in the world are the same."

Everyone continued digging.

About a quarter of an hour later, the shovel hit a hard object on the door panel.

He stretched out his hand and pulled it twice before shouting: "I dug it!"

A section of jade white is exposed in the red soil.

Another divine corpse!

The red general was not excited. He just asked someone to spread out a huge tarpaulin in front of the pit to block the sunlight shining on the bottom of the pit.

In two quarters of an hour, the sun will set, but the red general can't even block such a weak sunlight.

When something was dug out of the soil, everyone became more energetic and started digging down——

Mainly out of curiosity, wanting to see what the gods look like. It was impossible to see the full picture of the divine skeleton that was previously embedded in the palace wall.

Soon, the top few corpses were cleared out.

Probably due to geological reasons, more than a dozen divine skeletons are stacked on top of each other. The bones are jagged, but basically complete.

Everyone was amazed.

These dead "gods" were visually estimated to be over one foot tall, obviously taller than humans, but their heads, necks and upper bodies were very similar to humans, with very long skulls and different numbers of fingers, some with six fingers on each hand, and some with only four.

Below the waist, the difference is even greater. One of the divine skeletons had an extra tail behind it, and another had no legs at all.

He Lingchuan was curious: "Aren't the gods the same race?"

General Red said calmly: "Are monsters a race?"

He Lingchuan touched his nose and instantly understood what the red general meant. "Gods" is just a general term, and does not refer to a single race. Just like birds and beasts become monsters, the shapes of monsters are also all kinds of strange.
