Chapter 245 Helping the Old Vine Demon Move
The boy stayed there and called the door three times, but was rejected every time.
The wilderness is deserted, except for the yellow sand blown by the wind.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... brat, no one is paying attention to you. Look, your trip was in vain!"
Night Owl is not gloating over misfortune, what he said is true.
Ji Tong frowned, could he really miss the time like this?
He called a few more times without giving up, but still found nothing.
Even An Shiqiu couldn't stand it anymore.
"Eldest brother, how about... forget it, we will find a solution after we go back."
Ji Tong frowned and said nothing.
There is no way out now, time waits for no one.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he hurriedly used the wood spiritual energy to create a vine out of thin air.
In fact, his wood spiritual root has never been cultivated to the state of Dzogchen, and there is still some chance.
The purpose of using this wooden vine now is to find the old vine demon.
The wooden vine dug into the sand, and suddenly it penetrated very deep, like an angry dragon stirring up the inside.
I don't know how deep I penetrated, but when Ji Tong's wood spirit energy was almost exhausted, he still couldn't force the old vine demon out.
He sighed dejectedly and prepared to leave after using up the last bit of wood spirit energy.
He was somewhat angry, because the wood spirit energy was blown away by him, directly blowing the wood vine into pieces, and the countless sand and dust were covered with dust.
The three of them stood in a pile of fog, so far apart that they couldn't even see each other's shadows.
Ye Xiao originally wanted to drag the boy away from this filthy place.
However, the next second his hand stopped halfway, looking at the blurry figure not far away in surprise.
He noticed the uninvited guest, and Ji Tong naturally didn't miss it. However, An Shiqiu was still a little weak in strength and almost bumped into him in a daze.
"I'm sorry, the old demon didn't know that it was a benefactor who came here, so he was negligent. It is really a sin!"
An Shiqiu was startled and rushed back behind Ji Tong like lightning.
This was completely a subconscious behavior. He had completely forgotten that he was already a Nascent Soul monk and no longer the little kid who still needed someone's protection.
As soon as these words fell, the fog suddenly dispersed, revealing the old vine demon's old and powerful withered vine body.
The old vine demon seemed to be in a worse state than when we first met.
Ji Tong did not rush to ask for the vine fruit, but asked the reason.
The old vine demon took a deep look at Ji Tong with his cloudy eyes that were already filled with life, and then unexpectedly shed green tears of blood.
"My benefactor didn't know something. The old demon had to go through many hardships and narrowly escaped death to save his life. Who would have thought that he would be bullied by evil people when he returned and almost died on the spot."
"Fortunately, the old demon's newborn spirit body is still there, so he has been able to survive until now. However, the old demon's energy has been exhausted, and it will only be a matter of time before he disintegrates."
Ji Tong naturally saw that the old demon's condition was that compared to Yuan Huilai, he was not willing to give in and could last for a year and a half at most.
The reason why the old demon could not be called out just now was simply because the old demon was sleeping deep underground and could not receive external information in time.
If Jitong's wood spirit energy hadn't been too domineering and attractive, forcibly awakening the old demon, he would probably have remained asleep until the moment the Tao body died.
"Old demon, please leave with me. I, Shushan, am willing to give you a world to nourish you."
"Although this place was full of spiritual energy and vitality thousands of years ago, it is just a dry land and is not suitable for rest and recuperation."
The old demon shook his head and sighed, "It is said that the tree moves the dead and the person moves the living. I am rooted in this place. It is difficult to move. It is difficult to move to the sky!"
No wonder he is so pessimistic, this place has taken root and sprouted here over the years, and the one-third of an acre of land where it is located is filled with its roots.
The rhizomes cannot be damaged and cannot be separated from the soil for too long. Trying to move away from here is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Now he can only stay in this place and doesn't have the ability to take one more step.
Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "My benefactor, you have come all the way here, so you must have something important to do. Please tell me and listen to me. As long as I have the ability, I will definitely devote all my efforts to practice to achieve it for you."
Ji Tong didn't say anything, but An Shiqiu couldn't help but interjected, "We want your natal demon fruit to save people, you should have it, right?"
The old vine demon took a breath of cold air. Of course he had this natal demon fruit, and he had three of them.
Two of them were given away casually when he was ignorant. There was only one left at the moment, and he was reluctant to use it until the last moment.
However, after hesitating for a moment, the old demon still chose to give the fruit to the child.
"This thing is of great use to my benefactor, so please accept it. Anyway, the old demon is already a waste. Keeping it will be a waste of nature."
Ji Tong looked at this low-hanging fruit, but did not accept it.
If he really takes away the fruit, then the old vine demon will definitely not survive for half a year. How can he bear it?
Yuan Hui's life is important, and the old vine demon is not just a piece of wood, so he deserves to die.
"Sigh...Senior, please put away this fruit for now, and wait until I transplant your body."
The old vine demon said anxiously.
"This...this...I'm afraid it won't work! Stop being so busy...get your things and go back!"
If he could do something good before dying, he felt that his life was not in vain.
The only thing I can think about now is probably the hope of having an afterlife and being able to embark on the path of spiritual practice again.
Ji Tong ignored the nagging of the old vine demon, but turned around and stretched out his hand to Ye Xiao.
"Senior Ye, I'm encountering some difficulties now. I need a lot of wood materials. I wonder if you can contribute something?"
Ye Xiao couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Asking him to be a bodyguard is already too much.
I didn't expect that now I am still a private warehouse, and I can take whatever I want.
Complaining, he still took out all the wood-type materials he had collected over the years.
They are all low-level materials. They are just supplements when practicing. They are all easily available.
I just didn't expect that this kid would want so much.
It wasn't enough to give him hundreds of materials, he kept reaching out, as if he wouldn't stop until he emptied him.
He gave a lot, but when he saw that the amount the boy took out was dozens of times his, even though he was very nervous, he still couldn't help but scream in fear.
"Damn it, you robbed some store, this is too much."
Ye Xiao was shocked, but An Shiqiu was not surprised. He decisively gave away all his secrets without waiting for the child to reach out.
There are so many wood-type materials, and the wood-type spiritual energy emanating from it is surprisingly rich. Taking a breath, the refreshing vitality makes him feel like he has returned to the age of his birth.
As a person who had only drank water from a small well, Old Vine Demon suddenly had the illusion of seeing the stars and the sea.
He suddenly began to look forward to it. Maybe the benefactor in front of him would really give him a different life. (End of chapter)
