Although the tree demon behind Sanmu turned around and tried to lift his feet, one of his arms was tightly wrapped around Lingyu's demon owl brocade, slowing down his speed. Lingyu gritted his teeth, tried hard to hold onto the Demon Owl Brocade, and began the tug-of-war with the tree demon.
When he was just a little bit close to losing to that guy, his three eyes finally touched the broken wall at the entrance to the barrier. As soon as the door handle appeared, he held it tightly. He pulled hard, opened the small door whose outline was still vague, and broke into the small room that served as the contact point.
His man was dying and sitting against the wall. The pool of blood on the ground should have flowed from his left thigh. His leg had been broken by the tree demon and the bones were exposed. He could only use it from The strip of cloth torn from the clothes was simply wrapped around a few times to barely stop the bleeding.
"Dang Dang!" Sanmu called his name and rushed to him, patting his face.
"Boss?" Dangdang asked with half-closed eyes. His voice was weak and his consciousness was not very clear.
"Come with me quickly!" Sanmu said, intending to put his arm around his neck.
"Leave me alone, boss! I... I can't do it anymore!" Dangdang shook his head slightly and said.
"Don't be stupid! The young master is fighting those tree demons outside to save you, so as to buy us time. If you just give up like this, how can you be worthy of him who took such a big risk!" The three eyes tightened involuntarily. Grab his arm.
"Really...really? The young master is here!" Dangdang suddenly woke up, and felt warmly moved in his heart. Thinking that the young master actually took action for a nobody like himself, it was the most honorable thing in his life. .
"When did I lie to you kid?!" Sanmu directly carried him on his back, took a deep breath, and pushed open the small door of the contact point.
The battle outside the door continued, and Qianqi and Lingyu's physical strength had reached its limit. No matter what kind of damage they caused to the three monsters, they were not affected at all. They still stood firmly on the ground, and their movements were as precise as robots.
Sanmu summoned his demon horse and helped Dangdang get on the horse's back. One of the three tree demons turned around and rushed towards them, picking up the mace and spinning towards them.
He tightened the horse's rope fiercely, controlled the demon horse to dodge to the right, and at the same time lowered his body while holding down Dangdang. All they heard was the buzzing sound of the mace passing over their heads, knocking off a strand of his hair. Fortunately, there were no injuries.
While driving the demon horse to escape around the tree demon, he shouted: "Young Master, retreat quickly!"
"Call your demon horse out quickly, I'll be responsible for cutting off the rear!" Ling Yu turned the nine demon owl brocades into three strands, blocking the powerful offensive of the tree demons, and then retreated.
Qianqi took this opportunity to call his demon horse, and his demon horse appeared together with the dim light of dawn. When he flew on the horse, Ling Yu was already surrounded by the three tree demons.
He drove his horse into the tree demon, completely let go of the horse's rope, and used the water control technique with one hand to form several water shields to separate the tree demon's attacks on himself and Ling Yu. Yupin shouted: "Give me your hand!"
The water shield was broken by the tree demon within a few strokes. At the critical moment, Lingyu held Qianqi's hand, pulled it, and sat down lightly behind him. They followed the unique light that only appeared when the sun and the moon met, and ran as fast as they could. Together with Sanmu and Dangdang, they headed towards the royal city.
It was another long night. Although there were ups and downs and thrills, fortunately, they still spent the night safely. Lingyu crouched behind Qian Qi and quickly fell asleep relying on the warmth behind him. He was really too tired. This fatigue was not only due to the battle with the legendary monster, but also because he was also fighting against The fight against the magic within one’s own body.
Recently, he had felt that the demonic blood in his body had become more and more stable, and it had been a long time since he had difficulty controlling it. But perhaps because the opponent this time was too powerful, the energy he used to control his demonic nature was unconsciously dispersed, so that he did not dare to attack the opponent with all his strength. He felt that if the battle continued for another moment and a half, he would lose it. Reason is completely swallowed up by demonic nature.
At this moment, he was safe and could still stay with his companions. Thinking of this, there was no pain in his heart, only a faint happiness. He knew that this happiness would be washed away sooner or later.
Dangdang was taken directly back to the Royal City and received treatment there. After seeing his injuries, the doctors at Chenji Palace said that he was only one step away from saving his leg. Fortunately, they rescued him in time.
He didn't know how to be grateful to his boss Sanmu, but what made him feel even more regretful was the young master Qianqi who fought tooth and nail for him and the tree demons. His intention is clearer than before. Once his injury recovers, he will return to the Sanmu Intelligence Team and continue to serve the Amber Dragon King and Young Master Qianqi.
As soon as Qianqi and Lingyu returned to Chenji Palace, they rushed to Fuxing Palace without taking any rest. They had to report the tree demon incident to Ouyang Yong and others as soon as possible and discuss countermeasures with them. It just so happened that I met Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Xiaoleng here who were also looking for Ouyang Yong.
"You guys. Why are you back so soon?" Ouyang Yong looked at the two tired-looking teenagers and asked with a little surprise.
"Grandpa Yong, it's really hard to describe! We fought a fierce battle with Qingyun's men to save Dangdang from the Sanmu Intelligence Team." Qianqi fell into an empty chair as if he was about to collapse.
"Oh? I want to hear what kind of extraordinary subordinates can make you two in such a mess!" Ouyang Xiaoleng knows the strength of Qianqi and Lingyu. With the two of them, even if they encounter Qingyun's subordinates such as Rakshasa Mu or Yaksha A general like that has his own way to escape easily, so it is inevitable that Qian Qi's words are a bit exaggerated.
"Tree Demon! Have you heard of it?" Ling Yu was not angry because of Ouyang Xiaoleng's attitude, but asked them calmly.
Ouyang Yong put the pipe in his hand back on the table, his face became gloomy. He had only seen this monster once, but it left an indelible impression on him, not only because of its terrifying appearance, but also because of its terrifying appearance. Most of it is because of their changing process.
"Tree Demon?! Does that kind of monster really exist?!" Ouyang Hongye raised his head and looked at Ouyang Yong. Judging from his expression, he could guess that he actually knew about them.
"I've never even heard of this name." Ouyang Xiaoleng realized the seriousness of the situation and focused his attention on Ouyang Yong.
Ouyang Yong knew that it was necessary to tell everyone everything he had learned in the past, so he cleared his throat and said, "I saw this kind of monster hundreds of years ago. At that time, a merchant who specialized in selling various monsters passed through the royal city. At that time, he said that he wanted to give Mr. Li a big gift. He said it was a gift, but he actually had a wishful thinking that once Mr. Li liked it, he would reward him with a large sum of money and asked him to tell him how to get it. "
"Is it possible that this great gift is the tree demon?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked.
"Yes, I remember that we were invited to the square in front of Chenji Palace by the businessman. As soon as the businessman lifted the cloth on the cage that imprisoned the tree demon, everyone was scared to death. Lord Li didn't like it. Instead, he became furious and asked the businessman to take it away quickly, otherwise he would be imprisoned in Chenji Palace."
"Why is grandpa so angry?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked puzzledly.
"I was also surprised at the time. I heard that the businessman boasted about this monster and persuaded Lord Li to train an army of tree demon warriors, which would definitely help him be invincible and invincible. But when Lord Li told me I, he had read about the method of obtaining this monster in ancient books, and after he told me the cruelty of that method, I understood why he didn’t want this gift.”
"tell me the story!"
"Only the tree spirits in the ancient forest can be transformed into such monsters by dark magic. This kind of magic requires not only spells, but also a special poison. The poison is injected into the tree spirits little by little, seeping into them. In their blood and brain, they are continuously strengthened. Every time they are strengthened to a certain level, they will suffer great pain. It takes seven days to transform from a tree spirit into a tree demon. In this process, many tree spirits will be unable to bear the pain. They die in pain. Those who successfully complete the transformation will become tree demons."
"I remember that tree spirits are a very timid monster. Very few people can see them because they always hide underground." Ouyang Xiaoleng was once very interested in tree spirits and had read many stories about them. .
"Yes, but these tree spirits that can only be born from thousand-year-old trees are actually quite powerful, and dark magic has increased their power several times. But as their power increases, their souls have also been completely changed. From timid and kind-hearted to vicious and cruel, they only obey the words of the master who cast a spell on them during their transformation."
"The forest you just mentioned is not very far from the royal city. If the tree demon was transformed from the tree spirit there, would Qingyun be hiding there too?" Ouyang Hongye suddenly thought of this.
"The forest is very big, and it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate even during the day. It is indeed a good hiding place, but it is too bold for Qingyun to build his own troops so close to the royal city, right? !" Ouyang Xiaoleng expressed doubts, thinking that the wily Qingyun might not bear such a big risk.
"Sometimes, the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is!" Ouyang Yong recalled the appearance of the forest, and had a hunch in his heart that Qingyun might be hiding in that place.
While they were discussing, Sanmu walked in from outside. He first saluted the people in the room, and then said: "Dangdang was not very conscious before. After returning to the royal city and being treated by doctors, he is now fine."
"Great!" Qian Qi said with a smile, feeling that their efforts were finally in vain.
"As soon as he regained consciousness, he told me why he was discovered by Qingyun's men. He said that he followed the ghost slaves of Rakshasa Mother all the way to the edge of the Ancient Forest, and had been eavesdropping on their conversations. It is said that he On the tree demon, Qingyun found a total of three kinds of monsters and formed an army of demon soldiers. The number was quite large. Dangdang was just about to return to the intelligence point to find a way to send this news to me, when the other party discovered it and they released the tree demon. They chased him all the way, and then he managed to escape back to the intelligence point." Sanmu reorganized what Dangdang said when he woke up and told it to the others.
"Three of them are already difficult to deal with. He actually used them to form an army?!" Qianqi was shocked after hearing this.
"And there are two kinds of monsters in his army. What exactly can they be?!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said as he approached.
