Before, she wasn't sure whether Qi Wang could beat this guy, so Taoyao restrained her temper and didn't dare to confront Qi Musheng, for fear that that guy would get angry and clean her up.
But when she found out that Qi Wang might be planning something, Tao Yao immediately trembled. This guy is indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he is not as powerful as Qi Wang. She has the biggest backer, so why would she be afraid of this? guy
So Tao Yao said with a smile: "Where is the bargaining, I didn't even ask you for the guards, as long as the two in the room, it's useless if you take them, it's better to give them to me."
After hearing Taoyao's words, the way Qi Musheng looked at Taoyao changed slightly. He found that the attitude of the person in front of him had changed greatly in just a few minutes. When it was sent into her body, she seemed to have calmed down, and was no longer as panicked as before.
Qi Musheng looked at Taoyao carefully, but didn't notice any changes in her—where did she get the confidence to bargain with him
Tao Yao naturally noticed that Qi Musheng was sizing her up, but she didn't react too much, and still looked at him with a smile: "Mayor Qi, my request should not be too much, will you agree?"
Qi Musheng didn't speak, the surroundings were eerily quiet, he stood quietly not one step away from Taoyao, and Taoyao's appearance was clearly reflected in those too dark eyes.
At this moment, the sound of rustling suddenly sounded, and the branches of the old locust tree in the distance began to grow and spread continuously.
Xiao Longfei and the others were under the old locust tree at this time. When the old locust tree changed, everyone immediately noticed it. Their expressions changed immediately, and they took a few steps back quickly, watching the ever-growing old locust tree warily. .
The old locust tree was originally extremely tall, with its canopy covering the sky and the sun. Standing under the tree, they couldn't even see the sky from the gap in the canopy. Now it has started to grow again.
"What happened? Could it be that something went wrong with Qi Wang and the others?"
Zhang Wenwei took out the communicator to contact Qi Shaoqin and the others, but found that the signal was interrupted at some point, and they had no way to contact Qi Shaoqin and the others.
"Captain, the signal has been interrupted, and Qi Shaoqin and the others cannot be contacted."
Zhang Wenwei raised his voice and told Xiao Longfei about the situation.
After hearing these words, Xiao Longfei's expression suddenly changed.
After the old locust tree began to mutate, the originally mild and harmless old locust tree exuded a strong aggressiveness, and the bells hanging under the countless lucky bags hanging on the tree began to jingle. The crisp and melodious bells are intertwined, but they form waves of mental attacks, making it impossible to guard against.
Qi Wang and the others are afraid that something really went wrong, otherwise the old pagoda tree would not have turned into this well, but what Xiao Longfei couldn't confirm was that the three of them didn't know if they were in any danger. If they were not sure what they had done, they would not be able to attack the old locust tree.
The mental control of this mutated old locust tree is extremely powerful. If they seriously injure it, the humans controlled by it may not be able to do anything good.
After struggling for a while, Xiao Longfei made a decision. He ordered his subordinates to focus on self-defense and not to attack the old locust tree for now.
"Let's wait for a while. The situation is not at its most dangerous yet. Let's hold on for a while."
Luo Xinghe propped up the mental shield to protect the other team members, and said, "Captain Xiao, you'd better give me some time. Although the residents of Luoshui Town are important, our lives are also precious. If the situation is critical, the priority is to ensure our lives."
What Luo Xinghe said was not wrong, the situation is not yet a life-and-death situation, they can hold on for a while, but if the situation becomes dangerous, they have to ensure their own safety.
Xiao Longfei opened his mouth to convey Luo Xinghe's meaning to everyone, and gave them a clear time: "We will support for another hour at most. If the situation becomes more and more dangerous, we will launch an attack immediately."
Everyone in the guards responded one after another. They are not cold-hearted people. They are willing to support for a while for their companions.
The body of the old locust tree was still growing, and the huge crown spread rapidly in all directions. Xiao Longfei and the others stepped back guardedly while supporting the mental power shield.
It's just that the canopy of the tree grows and spreads very quickly, and within a short time, half of the town has been covered. If someone looks at it from a distance, they will find a large group of green dark clouds appearing above the town. .
Tao Yao obviously also noticed this scene. Standing in her position, she could see the canopy of the old locust tree spreading towards her. passed around.
The sounds of jingling bells and rustling were intertwined, forming a weird tone, and those sounds kept echoing in Taoyao's ears, making her feel restless.
And the residents of the small town who were standing there with stiff faces under the high platform heard these voices, as if they heard something from heaven, they jumped and danced like a group of demons dancing wildly.
Such a scene looked extremely eye-catching, Taoyao was disturbed by those weird voices, and the expression on her face also changed. She raised her hand and rubbed her brows, and said in a cold voice: "Qi Zhen Chang, what are you doing now? Didn't we still have a good chat just now?"
Qi Musheng took a step back and opened the distance between him and Taoyao. He looked at Taoyao indifferently, and said slowly: "Your heart is wrong, you told me so much, it's just a tactic to delay the attack. Know what you want to do."
Qi Musheng suddenly changed his attitude, which made Taoyao feel a little strange, she frowned and looked puzzled: "I don't understand what you mean, in fact, we can still have a good talk..."
In fact, Taoyao can't figure out what Qi Musheng is thinking at all. The behavior of this guy is full of weirdness and contradictions. Taoyao doesn't want to explore his thoughts. She is just purely curious. want to do something.
"I have lived here for many years. When Luoshui Town did not exist, I had already taken root here. I breathed the air here and absorbed the nutrients in the soil. Even in the darkest period of time, I still Grit your teeth and persevere."
Accompanied by Qi Musheng's voice, the growth speed of the canopy accelerated a little bit. After a while, the huge canopy spread to the top of their heads, and then continued to spread towards the surroundings.
Wisps of red light flashed past Taoyao's eyes, she looked up subconsciously, but found that those red lights were red lucky bags tied to the branches of the old locust tree, because those branches flashed too fast , causing them to look like streaks of red streamer.
Earlier, when Qi Musheng said that his branches were covered with lucky bags by humans, Taoyao didn't feel much, but when she found that the canopy of the old locust tree had become so big, the number of those red lucky bags had not been covered. When it was diluted, she had a deep understanding of the huge number that the old pagoda tree said.
"There are hundreds of thousands of these lucky bags. Every day, they would come to pray under the tree, and then hang the lucky bags on my branches. I couldn't understand their words in the past, but after I became enlightened, I could understand them. their words."
[This is just our good wish. The old locust tree has existed for such a long time. Everything has an animus. If it has an anima, it will help us.]
[Trees are not animals, how can they feel pain? Anyway, the branch can regenerate even if it is broken, it doesn't matter if it is broken.]
[I said long ago that this old pagoda tree has lived a very long life. It is said that it is more than 1,500 years old. It doesn’t have to be a hundred years old to be more powerful?]
When a person hangs a lucky bag on it and begins to pray for blessings, countless human beings start to follow suit, and then one day, this becomes a custom of human beings. can do it.
The canopy of the old locust tree soon covered the whole town, and those jumping and noisy humans returned to the appearance of walking corpses. They stood there quietly, looking up at the Qi Musheng, who was standing on the high platform, seemed to be looking at their gods, with a pious expression on his face as if copied and pasted.
Qi Musheng closed his eyes and began to communicate with his own body.
He wants to change all this, he wants to live a good life.
The jingling of the bells became more urgent, and at the same time, countless green spores spewed out from the body of the old locust tree, and the whole town covered by the canopy was covered with a thin layer of green light. , Those green spores were constantly spinning and flying, and then condensed into irregular green balls on top of all human beings.
After seeing this scene, Tao Yao felt a bad feeling in her heart, she frowned tightly, and at the same time kept calling Qi Wang's name in her mind.
"Brother, the situation is urgent. If you don't come out again, the humans in this small town may be over."
Although Taoyao has been a human being for a while, in all fairness, she doesn't have much sense of belonging to the identity of a human being, and she doesn't care about the life and death of these people in Luoshui Town.
She just didn't want Qi Musheng to go to that step. Although the two of them had different ideas, they were the same kind after all. She didn't want Qi Musheng to go to that irreversible step.
If these humans were really killed, the relationship between Qi Musheng and humans would really be endless.
After calling Qi Wang and telling him to come out and clean up the mess, Taoyao once again looked at Qi Musheng, whose expression was obviously not right, and tried to persuade him to change his mind of wanting to die.
"Mayor Qi, as mutant creatures, we have finally gained self-awareness. Shouldn't we live happily? There's no need to do such an extreme thing. You have to think about it. If you really do this, these human beings will die. It's all over, and by that time, are you really happy?"
Tao Yaodong tries to persuade Qi Musheng with emotion and reason, but Qi Musheng has made up his mind, how can Taoyao persuade him
He turned his head to look at Taoyao, and saw that the girl in front of him was beautiful, and her eyes were full of complex emotions when looking at him, but there was no disgust and hatred among those emotions.
They are different after all.
"I'll let you go. What happened today has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, I won't drag you down."
After Qi Musheng finished speaking, he ignored Taoyao, he raised his hand, and the humans standing below also raised their hands in unison, grabbing the irregular green ball that was originally floating above their heads .
As long as they swallowed it, they would complete the last step of the ceremony. At that time, their thoughts and thoughts would be synchronized with him, completely changing from human thinking to thinking of another species.
It's useless to say any nice words, only by making them feel the same as him, will they understand what he has endured in the past.

"Captain, the situation has changed, we can't hold on anymore, we have to attack immediately!"
The members of the guards closest to the old locust tree were in a bad situation at this time. Just now, the old locust tree seemed to have gone crazy, releasing green spores crazily towards the surroundings. Those green spores saw them After a few people, it was like flies seeing the meat, rushing towards them crazily, thanks to their mental power barrier in advance, otherwise they would be drowned by the green spores at this time.
However, even so, their situation is not optimistic. Those green spores accumulated layer by layer on the originally invisible spiritual power barrier, turning the originally invisible spiritual power barrier into a green color. And what's even more weird is that these green spores seem to have a strong attack on the mental barrier. They are constantly corroding and attacking the mental barrier. It is estimated that they will not be able to hold on for a long time.
After supporting for a few minutes, Luo Xinghe found that if he continued to hold on, the situation would get worse and worse, so he raised his voice and asked Xiao Longfei to make a decision to attack.
Xiao Longfei didn't hesitate this time, he immediately greeted the team members and asked them to attack.
"Everyone relies on each other, stand in good formation, and launch an attack!"
Following Xiao Longfei's order, the members of the guards who were passively defending immediately launched an attack.
They are all outstanding students in the school, and they have worked together for such a long time, and they have a tacit understanding with each other. With mutual cooperation, they will not fall behind for a while.
The main body was attacked, and Qi Musheng was also affected. His face turned pale, but his raised hand was still steady.
"Take the magic medicine, and you will meet the gods you are looking forward to seeing."
His voice echoed in the square, and the residents of the small town held the green ball and sent it to their mouths.
