Chapter 638: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 10
I should be able to deal with the tree demon grandma by myself, but the problem is that I don’t know how to send Nie Xiaoqian to reincarnate! Professional matters should be left to professionals.
At this time, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, Yan Chixia, whom Ruyi had been thinking about, happened to appear there. Yan Chixia had stayed in Taoism for ten years when he was young. After the master who taught him Taoism passed away, Yan Chixia went down the mountain with a sword on his back.
Since the day he came down the mountain, Yan Chixia became a knight who slayed demons and eliminated monsters along the way. Some time ago, when Yan Chixia was staying at a family's home on the outskirts of Guobei County, he learned from the owner that his son had gone up the mountain to chop firewood three days ago and had not returned yet.
Yan Chixia came here just to look for the missing son of the host family.
"This direction, yes, it's at the top of the mountain." Yan Chixia was holding a compass in his hand, and under the compass was a piece of clothing. It was cut from the clothes that the missing person often wore. Yan Chixia used the scent on the piece of clothing to find this place.
As soon as he arrived at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, Yan Chixia felt something was wrong. He put away the compass, put two fingers together, and used his magic power to wipe them on his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the entire Yinshan Mountain was filled with yin energy, and the place with the heaviest yin energy was the top of the mountain pointed by the compass.
"It seems that the legend of the monster on Yinshan Mountain is true."
"I'm afraid the master's son is in great danger!"
It had been three days since the man disappeared, and Yan Chixia had already known what was going on. However, it was not his character to just leave a monster alone. "Looking at the level of Yin energy, the monster on the top of the mountain is probably quite powerful."
After listening to Ning Caichen's words, Ruyi did not waste any time and stood up and asked Ning Caichen to lead the way. It was just after noon and the Yang energy was abundant. If they didn't kill the tree monster at this time, would they have to wait until night when the sun sets and the Yin energy becomes heavier?
"Are we really going now?" Ning Caichen had just managed to save his life from the vines of the tree demon grandma not long ago. Now he was asked to go again. He was a little afraid for a moment. "We don't need to look for some masters first. Why don't we go after there are more people and it's safer?"
"you sure?"
"I don't care. It's safer with more people. But aren't you afraid that the female ghost will be killed?" Seeing Ning Caichen so nervous about Nie Xiaoqian before, I thought he was very worried about her. Why did he become scared when the real action came?
After being teased by Ruyi, Ning Caichen's face suddenly became embarrassed. He couldn't say that he only thought about the difficulty of dealing with the tree monster and completely forgot about Nie Xiaoqian.
"Ahem, let's go now."
With Ning Caichen leading the way, Ruyi soon saw the true form of the tree demon. It must be said that the locust tree that had lived for thousands of years looked really spectacular. It looked like it would take five people to hug its thick trunk. The branches spread out and the leaves above stretched in the air, like a giant umbrella opening on the top of Yinshan Mountain, covering the entire Yinshan Mountain tightly.
However, the height of the tree was much shorter than Ruyi had imagined. Ruyi thought that it was precisely because the tree was not tall that people at the foot of the mountain could not see it. Otherwise, if people could see from such a distance that there was a giant tree standing on the top of Yinshan Mountain, no one would dare to come here.
"Damn scholar!"
"I wanted to spare your life, but I didn't expect you to dare to come here!" Seeing that Ning Caichen, who was rescued by Nie Xiaoqian, came again and brought Ruyi with him, the tree demon felt like she was about to explode with anger.
It was still early and she was restricted. The tree demon knew how powerful Ruyi was and did not dare to act rashly. She could only vent her anger on Ning Caichen.
"careful!"
The vines in the sky avoided Ruyi and went straight towards Ning Caichen. Ning Caichen had no time to dodge and was hit several times by the vines in an instant. Ning Caichen screamed in pain and dodged randomly, but was soon entangled by the vines. Just when Ning Caichen was about to be hung up again, Ruyi finally took action.
"Let him go!"
A stream of spiritual energy hit the vines directly, and the vines immediately emitted bursts of white smoke. Along with the shrill screams of the tree demon, the vines on Ning Caichen's body scattered.
"Thank you very much, Miss Song."
Ning Caichen looked at Ruyi with gratitude, "I never thought Miss Song was so amazing."
"Okay, stop praising me, and go dig up the urn!" Although the spiritual energy just now caused considerable damage to the tree demon's vines, to be honest, it consumed a lot of Ruyi's energy.
Judging from the size of the tree demon, one can tell that there will be more vines like the ones just now, not less. If he continues to hit her like this, Ruyi is not sure if he can really destroy the tree demon with his current spiritual energy reserves.
Ning Caichen was unaware of the true situation and just thought that Miss Song wanted to end the battle quickly, so he obediently went under the locust tree and continued to dig Nie Xiaoqian's urn. Ruyi stayed beside him, looking confident and well-prepared.
Obviously Ruyi's performance really scared the tree demon. Although she was unwilling, to the tree demon, she was just a female ghost. If letting her go could save her life, she would naturally let her go.
Just out of greed, the tree demon grandma could let go of the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian, but she was unwilling to miss out on the great treasure Ruyi. The best situation right now was to delay. As long as she could delay until the Black Mountain Old Demon arrived, the tree demon grandma would be able to eat Ruyi, the great treasure that had the ability to restrain demons, together with the Black Mountain Old Demon.
So the tree demon once again grew vines to block Ning Caichen's digging. The ground suddenly began to roll, and the dark brown roots of the tree emerged from the ground, instantly filling the hole dug by Ning Caichen. What's more, before Ning Caichen could continue digging, the ground under the locust tree continued to surge, changing the terrain almost in the blink of an eye, and hiding all the urns underground.
Ruyi saw this and flew forward directly towards the trunk of the tree demon, but he didn't expect the old tree demon to immediately mobilize a large number of vines to block Ruyi. No matter how Ruyi killed one, another one came and he could never kill them all.
"Fireball!"
Seeing that the spiritual energy in his body was being consumed at an increasingly rapid rate, Ruyi suddenly became anxious. He mobilized the power of merit and virtue to fire several large fireballs directly at the vines in front of him.
"what--"
The vines gradually shrank under the burning fire. During this process, the tree demon grandma screamed continuously. The transformed body became more and more distorted against the background of the flames. Seeing that the fire was about to burn the trunk of the tree demon, he suddenly pulled out a tree root from the ground and said, "Stop it now, or I will kill her first!"
"Xiaoqian!"
Ning Caichen looked up and saw a female ghost tightly entangled on the roots of the tree demon. It was the weak Nie Xiaoqian. Ruyi ignored her and had no intention of stopping. He had used up so much merit to get rid of the tree demon. If he didn't get the merit from the tree demon, it would be a great loss.
Seeing that Ruyi was completely indifferent, the tree demon grandmother turned her eyes and immediately said to Ning Caichen: "If you don't stop her, this bitch in front of me will be burned to death with me!"
Ning Caichen looked at the unconscious Nie Xiaoqian and felt his heart break. He struggled for a while and finally stood in front of Ruyi, "Miss Song, please, save Xiaoqian."
