Chapter 648: Strange Tree and Crazy Sheep

He Lingchuan understood. It seemed that Fang Canran had never underestimated the difficulty of cooperating with Wei Ju.

"How much?" It was too expensive and he couldn't afford it.

"It's for you." Fang Canran looked at the chain and said, "I heard from the seller back then that there are no more than five pairs of this treasure in existence. Will you use it well?"

Got it, what Fang Canran meant was that He Lingchuan couldn't afford it anyway, so he just gave it away for free.

After all, the mission is more important than making money.

"Of course." He Lingchuan said seriously, "By the way, is there any news about Shuangwan?"

"Several teams have returned from the Fu Realm without bringing back Shuangwan." Fang Canran reached into his arms and took out something, "But I got this thing."

At first glance, He Lingchuan thought that what he took out was a piece of glass or crystal, which was transparent and colorless.

"Is this Liuli?"

"One word is missing." Fang Canran handed it to him, "This is the glazed gold you want. When exposed to the light during the day, the edges will be faintly golden. By the way, what do you use it for?"

"You actually got it!" He Lingchuan took it over with joy and saw that it was about the size of a whole tile, irregular in shape, and about an inch thick. He didn't know what kind of magical artifact or building it was removed from.

"The eye of the Spirit Gathering Formation is a magic weapon, and the material is basically glazed gold. I have to find a way to break the glazed gold and get inside."

Fang Canran stretched out his fingers and flicked the glazed gold twice: "Is it that simple?"

"At that time, there will be thunder restrictions on the glazed gold cover."

"The gods are very shameless. The restrictions they have set up in Xushan are layer after layer, endless."

Fang Canran did this out of emotion? He Lingchuan smiled, who doesn't like stacking buffs?

Fang Canran sighed, "I don't think much of you. I hope you won't testify against me after being captured."

"Don't worry. But what benefit will my actions bring to Manager Fang?"

Fang Canran smiled slightly: "I am very grateful to you for messing up Xushan."

…

The next morning, Lingxu was in a house on Xiangmai Street in the main urban area of ​​​​Xiacheng.

The weather was unusually warm today, and the servants got up at dawn, yawning while working.

This house covering an area of ​​three acres has just changed owners, and most of the servants have stayed. The new owner was a fur trader from out of town. He had worked hard in Lingxu City for fifteen years before he scraped together enough money to pay the deposit. The remaining balance was borrowed from a banker on credit and paid off in ten years.

Having your own house in Lingxu City is a great honor.

But the servants had a hard time because the new head mistress was a bit tricky.

She couldn't get a grain of sand into her eyes and wanted every place to be clean and dust-free. She felt that the cook's salary was too high but the cooking taste was mediocre. She also felt that the housekeeper spent too much money on shopping and the things were not worth the price.

Of course, what she scolded the most was that the servants were lazy and did not work, so she liked to go to the scene to supervise the work in person.

The helper Ah Qing heard her complaining to her husband last night: "These poor guys and lazy guys won't work well if we don't keep an eye on them!"

The fur trader didn't care about such trivial matters: "Stop swearing a few words, or you'll have to hire new people!"

"You don't understand. When we move in as new residents, we have to establish our authority and let these bitches know who the master is! Lest they think we are easy to fool and bully!"

The husband looked at her askance: "Who can bully you?"

It was dawn, and before the owners got up, there were birds chirping in the big trees in the backyard.

This oak tree is 200 years old, with lush branches and dozens of bird's nests on the canopy. Birds of all sizes fight over territorial disputes every day.

The new owner hated them and demanded that the oak crowns be sawn off. The servants were reluctant to part with them and have not done anything yet.

When Ah Qing told the others what he had dug into the corner last night, all the servants were very angry. Someone spit on the ground and said, "Her family started off by doing a small business. She herself does all the work we do every day." Damn it. Why do you like to yell at people with your hands on your hips now that you are a hostess?"

"What do you know? How can we show that she is nobler than us without showing off her power?" The cook sitting behind her picking vegetables didn't even raise her head. "I heard from the storyteller in Guilou that this slave became a master, but she is more like a master than a master. master."

Everyone laughed, it was so refreshing to hear this.

"The old master was so kind. He never showed up twice throughout the year." There are not so many requirements.

Someone said: "The old owner is not from Lingxu City. He seems to be very short of money recently."

The cook said to Ah Qing again: "Didn't the hostess ask you to clean up the old things yesterday? If you don't do it, she will scold you again later."

After the house changed hands, all the things left by the previous owner were moved to the spare room, waiting to be sorted and disposed of.

The new mistress was reluctant to throw it all away. Everything in Lingxu City was expensive, and they themselves were still carrying a debt of 40,000 taels. Oh no, it will be fifty-five thousand taels in ten years.

Lingxu City is a place that is really prosperous and really sucks blood.

Ah Qing curled his lips and stood up, walked to the empty room at the back, and soon came out with a few drawers in his arms.

It's full of bits and pieces and has no value whatsoever. She had to throw it away quickly so as not to "waste her mistress's time."

Passing under the old oak tree, Ah Qing heard a sudden burst of noisy and sharp birdsong. Before she could see what was going on, two clumps of feathers hit her face:

It turned out to be a red-billed blue magpie and a cuckoo fighting fiercely. They fought from the tree to the bottom, using all their sharp beaks and claws.

Probably the noisy cuckoo wanted to use its nest to lay eggs, but the blue magpie saw through it and chased it and beat it hard.

Ah Qing was unfortunately affected, and her face was stinging for a while. She didn't know how many times she was pecked. Fortunately, she closed her eyes in time, otherwise her eyeballs would probably be scratched.

Frightened by this, she screamed and raised her hand to block.

The drawer was thrown out, and the bottles and jars inside hit the tree roots, and broke with a few bangs.

The two fighting birds flew away noisily. Others came over and asked, "Are you okay?"

Ah Qing was still in shock, and there were several cuts on her face, but fortunately the scars were not deep.

She looked at the drawer on the ground and cursed "dead bird". She had to clean up the overturned things.

But before she could bend down, the ground two feet away suddenly moved, and something drilled out, long and thick.

She jumped back in fear, thinking there was a snake underground, but when she looked closely, it turned out to be a tree root?

But the tree root was also rapidly thickening and growing, growing everywhere, and huge tumors emerged one after another.

Ah Qing screamed and ran back.

Fortunately, she ran fast, because the changes in the tree trunk were the most frightening:

One after another, huge branches broke through the trunk, and within a dozen breaths, they grew into new trunks, and this cycle continued.

"Master, master's house..." Ah Qing pointed at the fur trader's main building, her voice trembling.

The tree also grew horizontally. It was not far from the master and mistress' bedroom, and when it grew horizontally, the solid building was quickly crushed.

Everyone heard screams that were not human voices coming from inside.

Save? Don't save?

Several farmhands wanted to, but they really didn't have the courage to approach the mutated tree.

After just a few breaths, the whole small building was crushed, as if it had entered a millstone, and the screams disappeared.

The witnesses all turned around and fled, and no one dared to stay.

When they fled to the main gate and looked back, they were all stunned:

This old tree had become a very bloated and fat wooden lump, not only reaching an astonishing height of ten feet, but also a width of five feet.

The birds' homes were destroyed, and they screamed in fear. The sound could be heard three or five miles away.

People were calling, birds were singing, and houses were collapsing. It was too noisy.

This was the downtown area of ​​the city, and the neighbors came out to see. They wanted to complain, but when they saw the strange situation, their words got stuck in their throats and they couldn't speak.

The strange tree continued to grow and began to move towards the neighbors' homes.

The neighbors came over angrily to ask what was going on, and Ah Qing and others were also confused. They shouted angrily: "Where is your master? Call him out and talk!" Prepare to lose everything!

"Dead." Ah Qing pointed at the strange tree, "The building was knocked down by it, and the man and woman masters were all inside."

"..."

After such a strange thing happened, the servants ran to report to the police.

However, at this moment, there were several screams from the neighbors, and several people rushed out of the door, shouting: "The sheep ate people, run!"

Before everyone could figure out what was going on, a hole was smashed in the courtyard wall with a bang, and a huge figure rushed towards the onlookers.

This is the leader, or rather, it used to be the leader.

But now its size is comparable to the wild bull monster that He Lingchuan saw in the camp of Han River, with bulging muscles and blue veins.

There is a huge bulge growing on its neck, and it exploded with a "bang".

Everyone thought it was going to die, but it had a second head!

The sheep's eyes were bloodshot, and blood was gushing out of its nose, but it was stabbing people everywhere with a pair of sharp horns.

It is necessary to say that the pair of sharp horns were originally only a short section, round and blunt, but now they are one foot long, and they are still curved spiral-shaped, with the tip almost like an awl. When it hits a person, there are two blood holes!

A young man ran away slowly and was hit by it. The sharp horns went in and out from behind, piercing through him.

The giant sheep threw him against the wall, and with a bang, blood slid all over the wall.

It did not stop, and continued to chase and kill others.

The pedestrians scattered like birds and beasts, and the residents closed their doors. But the wooden door couldn't stop this guy. It broke with a bang and rushed in to kill people!

After it killed seven people in a row, two bear monsters rushed out nearby and wanted to subdue it together.

But this thing was so powerful that even the bear monsters were knocked down.

It ravaged two streets in a row, and the government sent people to rush over.

But the expected bloody battle did not happen, because after pushing down a section of the courtyard wall, the sheep monster suddenly fell to the ground without warning and trembled all over.

The tumors and blood vessels on its body burst one after another, and after more than ten breaths, it died.

What the officials saw was the chaos of the two streets and the mess on the ground.

There was blood everywhere, destroyed buildings everywhere, and a strange tree not far away.

This morning, Xiangmai Street was completely lively.

The government immediately summoned the relevant people for questioning. The neighbor said that after the old oak tree mutated, the sheep monster in the house was stupid and actually went over to chew a leaf.
