Chapter 189 Trees that Eat People Gather and Conflict Arises

"This, this..."

All the people present were stunned, and they subconsciously took a step back, looking at the dried corpse in front of them, their pupils were full of horror.

After years of wandering around the world, they had seen all kinds of corpses. A dried corpse was just a small matter.

But most of them were either killed by people or died of natural causes. It was the first time they saw a tree killing someone!

All the people present could see clearly that it was not Lin Chen or others who killed the middle-aged warrior, but the tree around him, which wrapped its branches around its body and then sucked it to death!

It was not a poisonous insect or an animal, but a big tree - eating people? !

"What the hell?!"

"This, this is... a monster?!"

"Get away from the trees!"

The people who were close to the trees turned pale in an instant, and took several steps back, not daring to approach any trees.

The old Taoist stared at the man in front of him, turned his head and asked:

"My friend, what is going on?!"

Lin Chen did not answer, but turned around and looked to the side.

The old Taoist priest was stunned by this and was feeling a little confused, but suddenly he heard screams coming from not far away.

Is this... someone was attacked again? ! No, that's not right!

He looked around and found that everyone was present and no one was attacked, so the ones who were attacked were not them, but people from the court or the noble families.

"Let's go and take a look. After all, we have come here and we have to meet more or less. Besides, more people means more power, right?" Lin Chen smiled slightly and walked over.

The old Taoist priest's face was a little uncertain when he saw this scene. When he arrived at the real place where the immortals ascended, he didn't want to meet with the court and the noble families so quickly to avoid conflicts.

But seeing that Lin Chen insisted on doing so, he had no choice but to follow him.

Although he has innate strength and is a first-class figure in the mortal world, he can only barely have the ability to protect himself in the terrifying dense forest and this mysterious place where the immortals ascended.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's knowledge, the whole team would have been wiped out if they had avoided most of the poisonous insects and beasts and escaped the attack of the miasma mother.

Now that he encountered such a strange situation of trees eating people, he had no better way to deal with it, and could only listen to Lin Chen's advice.

'After this, we must not only study the existence of immortals, but also learn about Miaojiang Gushu, magical legends, etc., instead of just focusing on Taoist classics and martial arts...'

The old Taoist priest made a decision in his heart. This trip to the dense forest has made him realize the importance of knowledge.

The other people in the team looked at each other, and then followed silently.

After all, people follow the crowd. When encountering danger, a person who knows a lot and has his own ideas is easy to make people follow subconsciously.

In this way, the whole team followed Lin Chen directly. During this period, they also deliberately kept a distance from each tree. Although it is not clear whether this is useful, at least there is a chance to escape if something goes wrong.

Soon, not far from the woods, human figures could be seen vaguely, and there were wailing and roaring sounds. Not only that, there was also a strong smell of burning.

Fire attack?

Lin Chen's eyes moved, and he seemed to understand something. He moved closer and looked forward, and saw people from both forces.

However, they were not confronting each other, but fighting with countless branches.

That's right, branches, branches of trees.

In the billowing smoke, countless branches covered with barbs swept out crazily, constantly pulling the people around them into it. Not long after, a burning mummy was thrown out!

Under the continuous absorption of human bodies, the flames on this strange tree began to slowly extinguish, and then countless new branches grew on the trunk.

"Use saltpeter! Ice attack! Ice attack!"

"Master, there is no water!"

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Seeing this scene, the crowd became more and more panicked and hurriedly retreated. However, at this moment, the strange tree instantly flew out hundreds of branches, and rolled fiercely. Suddenly, more than a dozen people were forcibly pulled onto the tree!

"No!"

The entangled person screamed miserably, and felt that the barbs were pierced all over his body, and felt a burst of pain that sucked his bones and marrow!

But at this moment, an old eunuch who was entangled by the branches and had a somewhat feminine face, his eyes suddenly became fierce, a strong breath emanated from his body, and he stretched out his hand and drew it, and the long sword on his waist suddenly came out of the sheath!

"Monster, die!"

A cold sword light, with a chilling chill, bloomed beside him, and then completely penetrated the strange tree!

"It's just a monster. If I hadn't wanted to protect His Majesty, I would have killed it long ago... Huh?!" The old eunuch who had just landed said lightly. Just as he was about to turn around, his body paused.

Because at some point, a root came out of the soil and tightly wrapped around his ankle.

"No, it's a dying counterattack!"

The old eunuch seemed to understand something at this moment, his face changed drastically, and before he could get out, he was covered by countless branches that stretched out from the fallen tree next to him!

"Ah!!!"

The shrill screams echoed throughout the venue, and everyone present became terrified when they saw this.

Because the old eunuch was a real innate warrior, and he was planted under a strange tree.

Not only that, the strange tree that was cut in half actually stretched out countless roots, and as the branches moved, it slowly stood up from the ground!

After absorbing the essence and blood of an innate warrior, the severely injured strange tree actually began to recover on its own!

"Why are you still standing there? Set fire." At this time, Lin Chen's faint voice sounded among the court and the family.

They seemed to have just come back to their senses, and shouted with panic in their voices: "Set fire, set fire!"

boom!

Almost all the kerosene brought in was thrown on the strange tree. Then, several torches were thrown down, and a raging fire started!

In the raging fire, the old eunuch was wailing and trying to struggle out, but was tightly entangled by the strange tree. In the end, they turned into a twisted black shadow in the flames!

"Finally, finally dead..." The old emperor sat slumped on the ground, staring at the scene in front of him, with a look of shock and anger on his face.

He originally had a plan in mind before coming in, but he didn't expect that this terrifying dense forest caused them to lose two-thirds of their troops in one fell swoop.

After coming in, I encountered this terrifying strange tree. Not only did I lose more than fifty people, but I also lost an innate in one fell swoop.

The latter is particularly important. You must know that even with all your efforts, you may not be able to cultivate an innate warrior. Unexpectedly, it failed here!

'No, we can't go on like this...' the old emperor thought to himself, feeling a sense of regret in his heart.

It wasn't that he regretted killing one of his own innates, but that he shouldn't have come in personally.

After all, whether he or those in power in the aristocratic family, who among the secular world is not a big shot?

They could have waited for the results outside, or sent people in, or used their forces to hunt down those who came out of the place where the immortals ascended, to get the maximum results.

But after all, I was motivated by profit, coupled with the fear of changes, and I felt that I would never go anywhere no matter how dangerous it was, so I came in person, and ended up in this situation.

'No, we can't go on like this, we must find a way to break the situation...'

The old emperor's eyes became more and more sinister, like a poisonous snake, and he kept scanning among the people. When he saw Lin Chen, he suddenly stopped.

If he remembered correctly, it was this kid's reminder just now that allowed them to kill the monster in time. Could it be that he knew something?

The old emperor also knew that this association was a bit far-fetched, but he couldn't care so much about the random treatment of diseases.

If you can't deal with these monsters and they all die here, then there will be no talk of immortality!

The old emperor looked at Lin Chen with malicious eyes and said, "You know something, why don't you call me quickly?"

Lin Chen stood there, glanced at him lightly, and ignored him.

The old emperor couldn't help but became furious and ordered: "You guys, hurry up and catch that kid who deceives the emperor and ignores his superiors!"

The eunuchs beside him looked at each other and stepped away.

His aura is sharp and his steps are vigorous. It is obvious that he is also a master of martial arts.

"You brat, how dare you disobey the emperor's order? Let the Sa family train you well today..."

Before the old eunuch finished speaking, his tone suddenly stopped and his face turned pale.

Because as he flew forward, he was stopped abruptly by a branch!

"No, it's that monster..." The old eunuch's face changed drastically, and before he could react, they were swept away by the tree next to them and turned into nourishing fertilizer!
