I’m a Witch In Dongying

I waited for ten minutes.

Suzuki Zhuxi's side has been arranged.

During this time, Bai Shuiqiu adjusted his spirit to the best condition. After getting out of the car, he greeted Zhuxi Suzuki, and then took the walkie-talkie handed by the two and plugged it into the sunscreen he was wearing. Behind his clothes pocket, he took Jiufeng Ziyuan and climbed the hill one after another.

At a fork in the road tens of meters away from the foot of the mountain, Bai Shuiqiu and Jiufeng Ziyuan separated again, and then each continued along a claustrophobic path to the mountain.

Although it is on the backlit side, the vegetation on the cliff side seems to be thicker than the front side.

The weeds in many places almost grow to a height of more than one meter, completely covering the ground below, even if a person squats in it, I am afraid that it will not be visible from the side.

And in this patch of weeds growing everywhere, there is surprisingly a very narrow trail, winding and winding, extending to the top of the hill.

Obviously, this kind of trail is not the kind of formal mountain road, but some very rough stone steps, which have been paved with a thick layer of loess because of disrepair for a long time.

The problem of disrepair is not big.

Anyway, Bai Shuiqiu has been to the Thunder Valley, which is more difficult to walk than this kind of dirt road. With her current physical fitness and agility, as long as the stone steps are not completely suspended, there is no need to worry about falling.

But these dense bushes and bushes around are more troublesome.

Whether you bend down or lean sideways, you will inevitably be scratched by the protruding branches, not to mention slowing the speed up the mountain, and the coat on your body is also easy to be cut out.

Therefore, Bai Shuiqiu had to take out the birthday gift "Watching the Moon" given by Shibingwei from the scroll of enchanting demon, and hold it in his hand as a machete, split the shrubs and vines blocking the road, and then go up the mountain. .

——[Xuezou], which was split in the "Inside World", has not been recast yet, and [Ghost Cut] is too expensive. It would be too violent to use to chop wood, so it can only be used I did it with the newly obtained moon watching.

However, considering that this knife was a birthday gift given by Jubei before, and a famous knife that was collected by the Yagyu family for generations, if it was seen, it would be a bit inappropriate, so she walked a short distance up the mountain to confirm that she had seen it. I didn’t see the scene below the mountain before I used this knife to cut down the trees to make a way...

Overcome obstacles along the way.

Bai Shuiqiu walked in the forefront and was responsible for opening the way.

The Peach Tree Fairy and the Wind Rider followed firmly, one exuding the perception ability, looking around with alertness, and the other taking care of the sides and the back.

As for the red mist, this thing was also released by Bai Shuiqiu.

The body composed of red particles turned into a small red mist, covering up the figures of several people and following behind them.

——Red Mist's abilities are mainly concentrated in combat, and it can't play a role in detecting and alerting things. The only useful thing is the "shielding perception" characteristic of its own. By spreading Red Mist's body to the surroundings, as a cover, it can effectively avoid the sight of prying eyes from the surroundings, and it can be regarded as making the best use of it.

The traveling speed of a row of four "people" is not too fast.

It took more than ten minutes to walk out hundreds of meters.

Bai Shuiqiu glanced at the watch he was wearing before the stall set out to confirm that the function of this thing had not failed.

Then, based on the scene they saw at the foot of the mountain, I roughly estimated that according to the **** of this hill, they should be at an altitude of sixty or seventy meters above sea level. If no accident, they would be close to halfway up the mountain.

In this process, the scene in sight has gradually changed.

Not only has the density of trees become denser, but the types of trees are also quietly changing.

And this kind of change gradually began to make Bai Shuiqiu feel that something was wrong.

how to say.

As a "barren mountain" that no one cares about for many years, it is normal for the mountain to be covered by dense vegetation.

But……

This mountain was "destroyed" for less than ten years. Long before the Yunv came, it was used by the Bailianzong as a venue for religious activities, and even held rallies on the mountain. But just a few years later, the trees on the mountain have grown to the point where the roads are blocked, which is a bit too much.

Moreover, Bai Shuiqiu was still in the process of going up the mountain and saw more and more cherry trees.

These trees seem to be some years old.

At an average height of twelve or three meters, it is not considered a towering tree, but it is not too short, and because it grows too densely, the branches and leaves overlap each other, forming a scene that obscures the sky.

But the problem is...

The flowering period of cherry blossoms is usually in spring and summer every year.

Even if it’s a new artificially cultivated variety, it’s usually withered in May, and now it’s early autumn in September. The trees are still covered with flowers, and they look quite dense, no doubt. It seems very abnormal.

In addition, there are still some very subtle rays of light radiating from the flowers of these trees.

——It seems that this is the source of "pink fluorescence".

Bai Shuiqiu slowed down, picked a relatively low cherry tree, walked up to him, stood on tiptoe and took a closer look.

It's not like someone smeared something on the surface of the petals.

I couldn't see any fireflies or the like wandering among the leaves.

Except that the trunk seems thicker, the bark above it is more cracked, and there seems to be some faint shadows on it, which seems to be no different from an ordinary cherry tree... Wait, shadows?

Bai Shuiqiu's thoughts moved, before he had time to make the next move, he felt a breeze blowing from not far away, shaking the branches a few times, and a bunch of pink petals were blown down along with the sound of the wind. Here, he even aroused the yin contained in the trees, lingering in the woods.

A few of the petals happened to float in front of Bai Shuiqiu, and she raised her hand to grab it.

Different from the glamorous appearance, the texture of these petals is quite fragile, almost broken when pinched, and then turned into a small group of gray particles, emitting a faint rancid smell.

"It's a little weird..."

Could it be that these trees were forcibly spawned by the people of the Jiuju faction using magic techniques?

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the blooming of these cherry blossoms in autumn.

But if this is the case, then what is the purpose of the Jiuju School of doing this?

Bai Shuiqiu pondered for a while, took out the walkie-talkie, and tried to contact Torataro Iwazong.

A sizzle of electric current rang in the walkie-talkie.

After a while, I heard the voice of Iwazong Torataro coming over.

Although the words sounded a bit intermittent, Bai Shuiqiu could still hear that this guy had also encountered these cherry blossom trees, presuming that these woods circled the mountain in a circle. But because the cherry tree is not a very tall tree species, it is partially obscured by other trees such as pines and cypresses, so when you look at it from the bottom of the mountain, it feels not so obvious.

But whether it was Torataro Iwazong and others, or Zhuki Suzuki and Jubei who were at the bottom of the mountain, they didn't know what the appearance of these bushes meant.

"From the current situation, the Jiuju faction should have arranged a special formation here..."

It was Torataro Iwata who said this.

"The main purpose of the formation is unknown, but it must have the effect of gathering Yin Qi. Perhaps it is relying on these cherry trees to absorb a large amount of Yin and evil Qi from the ground veins, but because the time is short, there is no such thing as Baidi Bay. The serious shade in the tunnel."

"In addition, there may be some psychedelic effects."

This sentence is said by Suzuki Zhuxi, who also has an intercom and can receive signals from Bai Shuiqiu.

"...When Jubei and I came here this time, we got two drones from Secretary Fujiwara. They are now flying in the air not far from you, but because the area where the cherry blossom trees are, the bushes are too dense. So I can’t capture the exact location in your depths.”

"In short, everyone should be careful. If you can't deal with any situation, remember to communicate in time."

After a few sentences, the walkie-talkie became quiet again.

Bai Shuiqiu also raised his steps again, heightened his vigilance, and continued to walk up the mountain while observing the woods on both sides.

It was about fifty or sixty meters away.

"Hey..."

The wind raccoon suddenly stood up, fiddled with Bai Shuiqiu's collar with his paws, and called out softly.

The peach tree monster next to him also tugged Bai Shuiqiu's cuffs, and the expression on his face became a little weird: "Master Qiu, please wait a moment...this wood seems to..."

"What's wrong?"

Bai Shuiqiu's steps stopped.

I don't know since when, there are no trees other than the cherry blossom trees around. Taking the position where she is standing now as the center, looking around, every direction is almost the same scenery. The long and winding bluestone trails stretch out from the forest to the distance, and are covered with pink cherry blossoms.

And when she turned around and looked in the direction she came, she found that the road there had completely changed its appearance.

Even Bai Shuiqiu herself couldn't tell which direction she had come from just now.

Ghost hit the wall?

Or is it another form of illusion?

Bai Shuiqiu immediately recited the [Opening Spiritual Eye Edict Mantra] once, and as a burst of spiritual power was injected into his eyes, the surrounding field of vision suddenly became clear. But except for the cherry blossoms all over the ground, there are some signs that seem to be true and false, but the surrounding trees and bluestone trails have not changed in any way.

In other words...

These scenes are real.

"Can you feel which way is the road through the top of the mountain? Or which woodland is particularly enchanting?"

Bai Shuiqiu looked towards the wind raccoon.

Under her question, the little thing looked around for a while, then shook his head, and screamed again.

"...What do you mean, there is a special magic circle in this cherry tree forest, which can confuse the perception of the evil spirit, so you can't see the outside situation?"

To be precise, what is confused is not only the perception ability, but also the human sense of direction.

Bai Shuiqiu's sense of direction is not very good, but he hasn't reached the point of being infatuated. He didn't even realize when he started to lose his way in this cherry tree sea.

Yes.

The scene that Bai Shuiqiu sees now is no longer a "wood".

It's a "sea of ​​trees".

Bai Shuiqiu randomly selected a direction and tried to walk forward for a while. After about three or four minutes, he returned to the original point again. The surrounding bluestone trails look like roads in a maze, communicating with each other, and there is no end in sight.

The speculation that had been circling in her heart from just now has been fulfilled here.

"Sure enough, it's a shady area."

Bai Shuiqiu once had a similar experience.

That is to say, when entering the Baidi Bay Tunnel, it was obviously only a two-hundred-meter-long tunnel, but because of the dark environment and the deceptive formation, it felt like a journey of several kilometers on the senses. But the current sea of ​​cherry blossom trees did this in broad daylight, and it was self-explanatory what it contained.

"In other words, the intensity of Yin Qi can't accurately define the intensity of Yin domain?"

Bai Shuiqiu thought for a while, then turned to look at the peach tree demon next to him:

"Chune, can you'communicate' with these cherry trees?"

In fact, the easiest way to get rid of this underworld is to call Jiufeng Ziyuan over.

No matter how vast the sea of ​​cherry blossom trees is, it will eventually have a range. There are old monsters in it. Whether it is climbing onto her back and flying directly out of the sea of ​​trees, or burning this place completely to white ground with a fire, it can break the game. effect. But now, without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, he started calling for reinforcements, too anxious.

Bai Shuiqiu intends to try to deal with it by himself first.

One of the peach tree demon's abilities is to "communicate" with others around him, and even use them to "see" farther outside. If all goes well, you can escape from this place.

but……

The reaction of the Peach Tree Demon was also a bit strange: "Um...this sea of ​​cherry blossom trees does not seem to be a normal tree. Under the soil of this place, something seems to be buried...makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"Ok?"

Bai Shuiqiu looked down at his feet when he heard the words.

But after a little hesitation, the Peach Tree Demon walked a few steps forward, then squatted down and pressed his palm to the ground.

Afterwards, I saw the Peach Tree Demon's right hand turned into a bunch of tree roots and pierced into the depths of the soil.

After a pause for a few seconds, move on again!

Wow----

A large piece of soil was uprooted by the peach tree monster's roots.

According to the estimation of the soil density and the volume of the soil block, the soil layer pulled out by the peach tree demon weighs at least several tons. If it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that it is really impossible to lift such a heavy thing.

As the soil layer opened up, the things buried deep in the ground were also exposed to broad daylight. There was an unpleasant odor mixed with rancid smell, which quietly diffused in the air, causing Bai Shuiqiu to subconsciously kick up. brow.

"This is……"

A corpse.

No... not one, but several entangled corpses, buried in the soil lifted by the peach tree demon, about one meter deep from the ground, even the arms and thighs can’t be distinguished. , The corpse was also mixed with some rotten flesh that seemed to have not been completely degraded by the soil. The color had already turned dark, and the jagged white bones could be seen in the middle. The sight was disgusting.

Wow--

The Peach Tree Fairy exerted its strength again.

This time, the whole piece of soil weighing several tons was lifted up abruptly and thrown aside.

With the movements of the Peach Tree Demon, more bones were exposed in Bai Shuiqiu's sight, densely connected together, and there are countless number of them!

"These corpses..."

Are they all killed by the Bai Lian Sect and the Jiu Ju faction? ?
