Chapter 251: A Sneak Attack, a Powerful Tree Demon in the Mountains

In a domed brick house.

Shi Lei was on vigil.

The other three practiced cross-legged on the futon, as if they had entered a light sleep state, but as long as there was a slight movement in the outside world, they would still wake up immediately.

However, the shadows in the dark are eerie.

They are crisscrossed, and some vines can be seen vaguely, with their backs facing the bright moon, casting countless tentacle-like shadows on the ground.

rustling...

The gentle wind blew through the woods, and thousands of leaves rustled.

Danger is coming!

in the dark.

Shi Lei ignited a fire and inserted it on both sides of the brick door, illuminating the surroundings, but he did not find countless vine-like tentacles spreading from the nearby trees, like countless octopuses approaching here, and the sense of oppression became stronger.

"It's a little ominous!"

Shi Lei opened his eyes and looked around, but all the shadows of the vines had already hid in the bushes again, and no trace could be seen.

To be on the safe side, Shi Lei used "Omni-directional Spiritual Sense" and carefully sensed the surroundings, but found that there were no monsters or other practitioners within the range.

"I'm overthinking it!"

Shi Lei scratched his head, crossed his knees in front of the door, and kept vigil while practicing "Spiritual Catalog".

Although this spell is difficult, he has already started.

However, this is the result of Ye Feng's personal instructions.

Shi Lei's aptitude is not high in the first place. It will take a lot of time to practice "Spiritual Catalogue" to a small level, and it is easy to encounter problems that he does not understand in the process of cultivation. When you arrive at Misty Peak, ask Ye Feng for advice.

The process of meditation is boring.

Time passed little by little.

The wind was blowing outside.

The surrounding vine tentacles are still spreading quietly, some are among the trees, some are on the ground, and the last part is underground.

A dark cloud floats in the night sky.

late at night.

It blocks the bright moon.

The neighborhood was plunged into darkness, and a gust of wind blew and blew out the torches on both sides of the door, making the surroundings plunged into darkness.

"dangerous!"

Shi Lei's perception is not bad.

In just a split second, he cast "Fire Cloud Palm" to illuminate the surroundings, and suddenly found countless strange vines rolling towards him at a speed like lightning.

"Enemy attack!"

Shi Lei shouted and immediately cast "Soil Escape", but he had just submerged half of his body into the soil, but found that his upper body was entangled in something and could not move.

Countless vines wrapped him tightly in the next moment.

Inside the brick house.

The three disciples woke up the first time, but it was still too late.

As soon as Huo Yunjie pulled out his sword, he found that he was entangled by countless vines, which made him unable to move, and then gradually lost consciousness.

Long Tianxing instantly glowed and entered the form of a dragon man, only to find that the back of his head was hit hard by a thorny wooden stick and fainted.

Wang Ping'an, who has the lowest cultivation base, has long been arranged clearly.

rustling...

When the dark clouds flew over and the earth was illuminated by the moonlight again, the brick houses in the woods had turned into ruins.

"Huh, what about people?"

The Thousand-faced Demon Lord poked his head out of the feathers behind his back, looked around, and found that the ground was full of ruins. Shi Lei and the four had long since disappeared, and he was suddenly shocked.

"If the sect master knows that the disciples are lost, this Demon Lord will have to be hanged and beaten!"

The Thousand-faced Demon Lord was very anxious, and quickly released his spiritual sense, chasing after the aura left by the tree demons.

The next morning.

Shi Lei woke up slowly.

"not good!"

He suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his scalp, and soon discovered that a special thorn had been pierced between his eyebrows, and his cultivation base could not be used.

Looking around, Shi Lei found that Huo Yunjie, Long Tianxing, and Wang Ping'an had just opened their eyes and had a green thorn between their eyebrows.

"what happened?"

"We were attacked!"

"Ah, it hurts. What is the thing stuck between my eyebrows. Once touched, it hurts to death and can't be pulled out at all. It must be limiting my cultivation."

"Why does the place we're in now look like a... cage?"

In shock, the four disciples found themselves trapped in a spherical vine cage, suspended from a giant tree that was 100 meters high, tens of meters high.

Looking around, there are still many cages hanging on this big tree, and many people are imprisoned in them, and there are dozens of them.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know where this is?" Shi Lei lowered his voice and asked the person in another vine cage ten meters away.

"Ah, I don't want to die!" The two disheveled cultivators in the cage next door burst into tears, tears pouring down like rain, obviously their mentality collapsed.

"Hey, they've been driven crazy, but that's right, every few days they witness other practitioners being sacrificed, and they don't know that one day they'll follow suit. It's no wonder they're not crazy!" an old voice said. sounded.

Shi Lei and the four looked at another vine cage more than a dozen meters away, and found that there was only a gray-haired old man cross-legged, looking relatively calm.

"Senior, we are disciples of the Misty Sect. I don't know which faction you are from, what is your name, and why are these tree demons trapping us?" Shi Lei hurriedly asked the old man, looking very respectful.

"Mischievous faction? Never heard of it."

The gray-haired old man looked at the sky, his face full of loneliness and self-deprecation, "This old man used to be the headmaster of a certain high-level sect. As for the name taboo... let's not talk about it. Three months ago, the old man took his disciples out to slay monsters. However, I was attacked by these tree demons at night, and even I was hit by the 'Soul Nail', and my cultivation base could not be used."

"Soul Nail?"

The four Shi Lei looked at each other with a blank expression on their faces.

Seeing this, the old man explained: "The soul-suppressing nail is the natural talent of this tree demon. As a middle-level demon general, its talent is also very strong. Anyone who is nailed to the eyebrows by the soul-suppressing nail will be more cultivated than it. Low-level practitioners can't stand it all, and they will be severely restricted."

"Then what can we do?"

Shi Lei and the four shivered.

The tree demon is the peak of the middle demon general, that is to say, if the cultivation base is lower than this level, even if it comes, it will not be able to beat it.

Throughout the entire Misty Sect, only the head can hang this tree demon.

But the problem is that the cultivation base is restricted, the storage ring cannot be opened, and the identity token placed in it cannot be used, so it is impossible to call for help.

Thinking of this, the disciples felt a chill in their hearts.

"What should I do?" The old man laughed at himself, "Hey, we can only wait until we die... You may not know that the tree demon captured us in order to sacrifice us to the 'tree ancestor', so as to obtain the power of the wood spirit, use In order to improve the bloodline and break through the realm."

"Sacrifice... offer?"

Shi Lei and the four took a deep breath.

If so, wouldn't they have to die?

Hundreds of meters in the air.

The Thousand-faced Demon Lord turned into a cloud of white clouds. Looking down, he found that it was a huge valley. In addition to the tree demon that was at the peak of the middle-level demon general, there were more than a dozen trees that were about to step into the lower-level demon general. Little Dryad.

There are still many creeping vines on the ground with eyes and noses, obviously all under the commander of the tree demon.

"There are so many people, I can't beat this Demon Lord!"

The Thousand-faced Demon Lord thought for a while, and hurriedly used the Spirit Beast Pavilion as a transfer station, constantly calling for Ye Feng on Misty Peak.

The main hall.

Ye Feng opened the lid of the furnace and picked up the Heavenly Asking Mirror that had been re-refined in the furnace.

"Although it has only been elevated to the peak of the mid-grade spiritual artifact, the detection range has changed from a thousand miles to a radius of 1,500 miles. Moreover, even if the area being explored is blocked by a formation, it can be seen more clearly than before."

After looking at it for a while with the sky-questioning mirror, Ye Feng liked it more and more.

At this time, he received a call from the Thousand-faced Demon Lord, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly opened the Sky-Questioning Mirror.
