Chapter 2036 Dryad

Lin Yue's figure shuttled between the jungles, trying to reduce the noise he made to the minimum to avoid Murong Dong noticing their arrival in advance.

"There is only a hundred feet left from the pheromone position ahead..."

Lu Yu's reminding voice came from his shoulder.

"Um."

Lin Yue responded in a low voice, and at the same time slowed down his speed and walked slowly through the jungle.

After a while, Lin Yue finally crossed several bushes and arrived at the spot marked by the pheromone.

In his sight, Murong Dong was kneeling respectfully on the ground, facing a giant tree in the sky...?

"Why is this guy kneeling on a tree for no reason?"

Lu Yu sent a message to Lin Yue with some confusion.

Lin Yue's eyes glanced at Murong Dong for a moment, then moved to the giant tree in front of him.

Suddenly, Lin Yue's pupils shrank, and he actually saw distorted faces on the surface of the giant tree, including his familiar Taoist friend Li and another missing practitioner!

"I see..." Lin Yue thought to himself.

At this moment, he suddenly realized a lot. Those missing people must have been sacrificed to this giant tree by Murong Dong in various ways. Although he didn't know his purpose, looking at his sincere kneeling look, it should be

Make a request to the giant tree.

As for the giant tree's ability to absorb people, Lin Yue was not too surprised. This was not the first time he had seen similar abilities.

Suddenly, Lin Yue's expression changed, and a strange light suddenly flashed across the giant tree, and then a seductive female voice came from it.

"Murong Dong, where are the sacrifices that this king needs?"

Murong Dong immediately bowed his head after hearing this and said in a sincere voice.

"Your Majesty, I'm not lazy, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"There is a very powerful person in our team. I feel that he has begun to doubt me. If he suddenly captures me, I will not be able to continue to provide sacrifices to the king..."

Having said this, Murong Dong, who was bowing his head, couldn't help but admire his own cleverness in his heart.

In this way, he can use the power of this tree demon to eradicate Lin Yue. When Lin Yue is gone, how will Qing Bingying, that bitch, escape from his grasp?

As for what he just mentioned about being suspected by Lin Yue, it was all a temporary fabrication to fool the tree demon. He believed that his acting skills in front of Lin Yue were very superb and there was no way he would be able to spot any problems.

"oh?"

The dryad looked at Murong Dong who was bowing his head and smiled sarcastically, but his tone did not change on the surface...

"Then what good idea do you have?"

"I would like to ask the king to give me a few ape slaves. I will deal with that guy first, and then everyone else will be your king's turtle in the jar!"

Murong Dong said with a sincere expression, if people saw him like this for the first time, they might really be deceived by him.

But the tree demon can see into people's hearts, and it penetrated Murong Dong's true inner thoughts as early as when it first tempted Murong Dong to cooperate with it. Although it seems to be following Murong Dong's opinion now, everything is within its plan.

"Well...then let's do it, don't let me down!"

After saying that, the tree demon's branches and leaves trembled, and more than a dozen leaves printed with lifelike ape patterns fell down.

The moment those leaves touched the ground, they suddenly turned into a half-human-tall ape standing on the ground, making a "squeaking" sound.

"Follow your orders, I understand!"

Murong Dong replied in surprise and quickly bowed respectfully.

He is very aware of the strength of these ape slaves. Not only do they have very strange movements that are difficult to detect, they can also invade people's consciousness and cause hallucinations.

Previously, he only used a group of ape slaves to successfully capture two people. This time, the presence of more than ten ape slaves will definitely make Lin Yue hate this!

In other words, he does not need to do anything to drive these ape slaves. Even if the action fails, he does not have to bear any consequences. No one will associate these ape slaves with him.

Even if everyone finally found the tree demon and it confessed to him about his cooperation with it, as long as he bit him to death and refused to admit it, would others believe the monster's story?

Thinking of this, Murong Dong couldn't help but admire his own strategy.

"Well, go and come back quickly, I can't wait to taste the taste of the next human being..."

The tree demon spoke greedily, but the coldness in his eyes had turned into reality.

A mere human being, actually trying to deceive it?

Don’t weigh your own weight either…

It has decided that after taking care of half of this group of outsiders, it will trap the stupid guy in front of it in its body forever.

As for the rest of them, it can send out ape slaves to sneak attack alone and capture them one by one.

The two guys with their own evil intentions were enjoying the next sweet dream here, but at this moment, a cold voice came from the side.

"I'm sorry to disturb you two from reminiscing, but I think it's time to take action."

Lin Yue's figure slowly walked out of the jungle, with a kind smile on his face, but his voice made Murong Dong shiver.

"What...! Fellow Daoist Lin, why are you here?"

Murong Dong showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and his tone was full of disbelief.

"Why can't I be here?"

Lin Yue looked at him with some surprise, as if he was very puzzled by his question.

"It's all a misunderstanding. This monster forced me...!"

Murong Dong's expression suddenly became annoyed, and he said very remorsefully.

"Yeah?

I thought you decided to cooperate with Qingbingying because of the incident, could it be that I guessed wrong?"

Hearing Lin Yue's words, Murong Dong's expression suddenly froze on his face. He did not expect that his thoughts had been completely seen by Lin Yue.

"You...fellow Daoist Lin, you must have misunderstood...!"

Murong Dong's face twitched and he said with an ugly expression.

The next moment, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Lin Yue, issuing an order to the nearby ape slaves.

"Come together and leave this guy here!"

Although Murong Dong is very proud, he is not a fool.

Ever since he realized that his thoughts had been seen through by Lin Yue, Murong Dong knew that he could not let Lin Yue go back alive, otherwise with his prestige among everyone, he could be put into a state of eternal destruction with just one sentence...

The tree demon watched this scene with great interest. He was not prepared to help Murong Dong, but he also did not say anything to stop the ape slaves he controlled.

Because this is a kind of plot that it likes to see very much. Two humans kill each other because of their disagreement. In the end, they both lose and become its food.
