At this moment, a few grotesque humanoid monsters jumped out from the forest and blocked our path.
"What are these?" Looking at these things, he felt extremely disgusted. He felt as if he was about to puke out all the food he ate yesterday.
"They are the seat dressing child." Zhang Ziyuan explained.
"seat dressing child?" Sure enough, this matter isn't that simple. There are clearly monsters and monsters in this forest. Those two seniors clearly lured us here.
"seat dressing child is the group of people who were abandoned because they were born disabled and their bodies were incomplete. As no one cared for them, most of them died alone and became ghosts that refused to reincarnate. They were also pitiful ghosts."
So it was like that, it seems that many ghosts were quite pitiful when they were alive. However, it seemed that now was the time for him to pity them.
"Wifey, their cultivation isn't that high. I feel like it's done with. Otherwise, if they bring their ghosts over, they won't be so easy to deal with." Zhang Ziyuan reminded me.
"Alright!"
These seat dressing child were indeed not my and Zhang Ziyuan's match, I could be considered as someone who had gone through hundreds of battles. However, looking at these things, I could tell that I was under a lot of psychological pressure.
Zhang Ziyuan could roughly tell that I had some sort of physiological reaction to these things, so he protected me behind him and quickly resolved the issue himself.
Not long later, all the seat dressing child were scared out of their wits.
"If the ghosts in this forest are only this strong, then the Mr. Jin Ye and the rest probably won't send us here right?" Based on my prepared sixth sense, there shouldn't be just these few seat dressing child s here.
"Let's try our best to block the water when it comes to fighting. Let's continue walking forward for a bit." Zhang Ziyuan comforted me.
After walking for some time, he saw a large area of strange bushes in front of him. They said it was strange because I had never seen such short shrubs. They were usually tall trees. The shrubs here were about the height of a person.
But to my great surprise, these shrubs were covered with golden leaves and silver flowers. So these were the legendary golden leaves.
"So it's not Golden Leaf and Silver Leaf, it's Golden Leaf and silver flower!" I cried out.
"Un, that's right. Looks like no one has ever seen these things, which is why there are legends of the Golden and Silver Leaves. They should actually be honeysuckle flower s."
Although the snow lotus with seven colors looked good, it was a flower in the middle of a snowy mountain. It wasn't like the flower clusters here, where it was very pretty.
I extended my hand to pick a few flowers, but just as my hand touched the silver flower, the entire forest seemed to tremble, as if an earthquake had struck. I couldn't stop and fell to the ground.
"Wife!" Zhang Ziyuan immediately rushed over to support me, but he was blocked by a tree branch that stretched out from the ground.
"AHH!" What is this thing? "
He really was tricked by the Silver Leaf couple. So there was a trap in the forest.
"Wife!" Hurry up and hold hands! " Zhang Ziyuan rushed towards me with all his might, trying to stop me, but he was blocked by another tree branch that came out of nowhere.
"I won't be the Thousand Year Tree Demon again, right?" Thinking about the thousand year tree ghost I met last time, I felt that I would definitely encounter one or two strange things once I entered the forest. I swear that I won't be like the forest anymore!
"I feel that it can't be a tree demon! All the branches are coming out from the ground, so there's probably something underneath! "
I didn't have time to think about the sudden situation. Only by dodging left and right could he avoid being hit by the strange branches.
I felt a series of rumbling sounds under my feet. There really was something strange underground. If this continues, the enemy will be in the dark while I will be in the light. If time goes on for too long, we will all tire out.
After making up my mind, I pulled out the Space Abyssal Sword and stabbed it into the ground beneath my feet. As expected, I heard a faint hissing sound, and was hit!?
I stabbed downwards with my sword a few more times. As expected, the monster couldn't endure it any longer and drilled out from the ground.
"AHH!" A wave of strange cries rang out. Damn, this is so unpleasant to listen to. All of the ghosts' voices were ear-piercing to the ear.
"Wifey be careful, he's out!" Without the help of the tree branches, Zhang Ziyuan finally reached me.
"Foolish human! How dare you covet my honeysuckle flower! " The monster that came out from underground could not bear to look at it directly. It was a hundred times uglier than a seat dressing child, it was covered in grey and furry things.
"He is the root of the honeysuckle flower!" Zhang Ziyuan suddenly said.
"Mm, this kid has some knowledge. That's right, all the shrubs have a common root system, and that's me." Therefore, these honeysuckle flower s were all grown by me. If you want them, you have no chance! "
Damn, even the roots of plants can become sagacious. I was wondering why the hairy body of this monster looked so much like the root of a big tree.
Sigh, I said that there must be something very difficult to deal with here. Otherwise, wouldn't that couple have come a long time ago?
"Hey, we were sent by Mr. Jin Ye and silverleaf granny, do you know these two? How amazing! Since you're already here, you can just let us pick a few flowers to return to. I promise! Just pick a few flowers! " I think it's better to deal with it fairly. Otherwise, if we really fight, that guy will drill into the hole, which is really bad for us.
"Are you daydreaming, young lady?" If everyone knew the benefits of my honeysuckle flower, and there were people picking a few every day, then my shrubs would have become barren! "
Eh, why does it feel like this root-like monster's words made sense?
"Wife, stop wasting words with him! This monster was called a Root Demon, and was formed from the perennial cultivation of thick and solid roots of plants. "Their best hobby is to protect their own branches and leaves, and always pick a leaf from their plant, making them agree to it is even harder than ascending to heaven ~" Zhang Ziyuan continued to explain to me. In other words, it was impossible for them to take things at all.
"Then what do we do, Zhang Ziyuan?" I whispered.
"There are two methods, why don't we hurry and escape. Its characteristic is that its root can only be fixed in one place. If it is far away from the range of his plant, he will definitely not be able to catch it." "Also, defeat it but not kill it. Otherwise, the roots of a plant will destroy it. If the plant can no longer absorb any nutrients, it will wither and die."
Holy crap, it's really my first time encountering such a troublesome demon.
Zhang Ziyuan's intention was to let me choose whether to fight or run. I felt like I had no other choice.
"According to what those two seniors said, this thing is beneficial to you when you unseal it. However, how can you subdue such an arrogant root system is also a problem."
That's right, he should be beaten to death by now. Otherwise, such a cute Silver Leaf Golden Flower would be dead.
"You foolish humans, if you don't want to be my fertilizer, then hurry up and scram, don't disturb my rest!" The tone of this root was rather big. What was his fertilizer?
Such an arrogant sentence made me angry. If you don't beat me up today, I will have the same surname as you! But who knows what this root name is?
"Zhang Ziyuan, fight! Beat him until he's submissive! " Let's go all out!
After Zhang Ziyuan heard my words, he laughed happily: "I've been waiting for your words, it's all settled! "Beat them until they submit!"
This fight with this huge root was, I think, the best I've ever had in my life, long after I've thought about it.
Although that giant root ghost could reach heaven and earth, its biggest problem was its range of movement. Zhang Ziyuan and I used this point to perfectly interpret guerrilla warfare.
After a few blows, we ran out of its range, and when he couldn't catch up with us, we watched from the distance as he laughed maniacally.
When he is ready to crawl underground to rest, we will charge back and continue our assault. At the beginning, the root ghost was unsatisfied with what I had said and started spouting nonsense.
"You, you really are, truly sinister! If you have the ability, don't run! "
"We have two legs, but we can run really fast. You'll die from anger!" I didn't forget to mock it as I ran and fight. Zhang Ziyuan also laughed out loud as he looked at me.
"Alright, alright!" Can't I take it? You guys can take the honeysuckle flower however you want, I'm convinced! "Stop fighting!"
"Ah?" "Are you sure?" I purposely blinked my big eyes and asked the root ghost, pretending that I didn't believe it.
"Stop, stop!" I'm really convinced! "Our roots need to absorb nutrients from the soil. If we take such a long time to receive attacks and don't replenish the nutrients, I won't be able to take it either!"
"En, my wife, his words are correct. It seems that he has indeed reached his limit." Zhang Ziyuan replied with a few words.
"Oh, alright then. Killing is just a piece of cake, I can't be unforgiving right? Alright, alright, I won't fight anymore. You should hurry down to absorb the nutrients.
"No problem, no problem!" With that, the root ghost rushed into the soil and started to absorb the nutrients. It no longer had the time to care about us.
"Hehe!" "How's my method?" I raised my head proudly.
"Yes, my wife is the smartest. There is a way to deal with this kind of thing."
Although this root ghost is so annoying, but I don't have any plans to pluck too many of them. In fact, each of them looks pretty good, if it wasn't for some special reason, I wouldn't have picked them off the tree.
"Not many?" Seeing that I had only picked four or five places to hide, Zhang Ziyuan could not help but to ask.
"Un, enough is enough. I still feel that these plants look better in this place. Besides, if we can use them, we can use them, right?" I purposely stepped on the dirt beneath my feet.
The root ghost immediately responded: "Yes! Right! Come whenever you want! "
"Hahahaha!" Today was truly a happy day!
Zhang Ziyuan and I took the picked honeysuckle flower and returned to the residences of the two seniors. The two of us were shocked at what we were holding in our hands.
"I never thought that you all would actually be able to obtain honeysuckle flower from a monster that is so difficult to deal with, you really make me look at you in a new light!" The Mr. Jin Ye exclaimed.
"That's right, we just found out that the leaf isn't from Golden Leaf but from Golden Leaf. If it was from Silver Leaf, would you couple change your name?"
"Yeah, in the beginning, when we entered the forest, we also encountered that troublesome root ghost, but we were unable to obtain anything as valuable as this. Although it is called Golden Leaf Silver Leaf, I think it was not even the season of blooming yet when we entered that forest, so we did not know that the silver was actually flowers. Then I really should call myself Grandma silver flower."
