77, Dryad
Cheng Liang cut two axes into the banyan tree, and the thick trunk trembled again, and the leaves on the branches trembled, making a roar similar to the womb of a wild beast.
Seeing this scene, Yanyan was already shocked.
"The tree has become a spirit... This is... a spirit!"
Not only Yanyan, but also Chen Qiao was quite surprised.
No wonder these banyan trees are filled with a strong smell of extraordinary people, and it turns out that they have all mutated.
So this time the power of the extraordinary is to make the banyan tree a spirit? Or do these plants have consciousness and cognition similar to humans?
Before Chen Qiao could figure out the power of the extraordinary, Cheng Liang, who was holding the axe, made a move again.
"Don't panic! Look at me!"
Bang!
The heavy axe slashed at the trunk of the banyan tree for the third time, and the cracks on the trunk widened.
And at this moment, a slight white light appeared from the cracks in the tree trunk.
Yanyan widened her eyes and looked at the white, then screamed in shock.
"It's... white bones! There are white bones in the tree! There are white bones!"
After hearing this, Cheng Liang's face, who had been calm all the time, changed and he was finally a little panicked.
"What, what? There are bones in the tree? Is this beast really eating your brother?"
In panic, he quickly waved his axe again.
"Damn it, kill you monster!"
The axe cut off again towards the trunk, but then the other branches of the banyan tree quickly rolled up.
The banyan tree before seemed to be in a state of drowsiness and was not completely awakened, but at this time the banyan tree was completely manic, with countless branches like countless hard arms rolling towards Cheng Liang one by one.
This banyan tree is thick and lush, and the trunk needs at least three or four adults to carry it. Cheng Liang wanted to kill it with just one axe, which was obviously a dream.
He was eager to prove his courage in front of his sweetheart, but he put himself and Yanyan in a dangerous situation at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, his wrist was already wrapped by branches and he couldn't even swing his axe.
The branches of the banyan tree dragged him away from the ground and raised him high. At the same time, the cracks on the trunk that he cut open suddenly began to open to both sides, revealing the holes inside, like a greedy and hideous mouth.
After the crack opened, Cheng Liang, Yanyan and Chen Qiao, who was standing in the distance, saw the bones inside clearly.
It was a body of flesh and blood that had been gnawed, with only clothes, hair and bones left. He obviously had mistakenly entered the banyan forest at night and unfortunately became a dinner for the big banyan tree.
Cheng Liang, who was caught by the big banyan tree, was so scared that he struggled desperately, and shouted: "Save me quickly! Save me quickly!"
But Yanyan had been stiff because of fear, and she couldn't even move for a moment, let alone save him.
Seeing this scene, Chen Qiao shook his head helplessly.
He has to support these two young men who are desperate.
He tiptoed into the woods, bypassed his vision and approached the two of them. Then he used the puppet master's superpower to control Yanyan, so that she could escape to the villa without looking back.
Yanyan's eyes were all the time, and immediately received Chen Qiao's instructions. She ran away like a sleepwalking, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Cheng Liang, who was caught by the big banyan tree, was angry and anxious, and cursed: "You unconscienced woman! You save me! Don't run away! Don't ignore me..."
After Yanyan ran away, Chen Qiao hypnotized Cheng Liang again. Cheng Liang, who was hypnotized, immediately closed his mouth and fell asleep in a daze.
Chen Qiao picked up the axe that fell on the ground and jumped high to cut towards the branches of the big banyan tree.
He cut out three axes in a row and then rescued Cheng Liang.
Cheng Liang fell to the ground and felt pain in his body, and immediately woke up with convulsions.
Chen Qiao used the same method to hypnotize him again, asking him to get up to chase Yanyan. After the two of them regained their consciousness, they should have returned to the living room of the villa.
After seeing off the two passers-by, Chen Qiao picked up his axe and looked at the big banyan tree.
"Brother, have you become a spirit? Do you not allow yourself to become a spirit after the founding of the People's Republic of China? "
The branches of the big banyan tree were shaking, obviously provoking Chen Qiao. At the same time, the cracks on the thick tree trunk opened again, revealing the strange dark space inside.
Only then did Chen Qiao see clearly that the big banyan tree had swallowed more than one person. There were three skeletons with different degrees of decay in its cave. Cheng Liang and the others saw only the one on the outside.
Chen Qiao couldn't help but shook his head: "It's really a serious sin."
And at this moment, he suddenly smelled the extraordinary.
The smell is coming from far to near, towards the banyan forest.
The main master is here.
Did he come here because he sensed that the big banyan tree was hurt?
Or did he just happen to pass by?
No matter what the reason, Chen Qiao needs to talk to this extraordinary person.
His supernatural power must be erased.
But before that, he had to borrow a face first.
He reached out to touch his face, and Chen Qiao's facial features flowed like liquid, and then re-arranged it and turned into the appearance of Cheng Liang, the young man next door.
Cheng Liang's axe in his hand made his fake identity more credible.
Following the smell, Chen Qiao finally saw this extraordinary man.
He was wearing work clothes from Fantasy Villa, and he was a gardener working here.
In his forties or fifties, he has a bald head, triangular eyes, and looks a bit ferocious.
He stared at Chen Qiao and asked sternly, "What are you doing?! Have you cut down my tree? Have you cut down my tree?"
Judging from his tone, the big banyan tree seemed to be his child. While questioning Chen Qiao, he looked nervously at the big banyan tree with a few axes cut. His face was full of heartache and his eyes were full of anger.
At the same time, he also saw the skeletons in the tree hole, but this did not surprise him. This was enough to show that he had seen these skeletons a long time ago and he knew the secret of the big banyan tree eating people.
Chen Qiao looked back at him and asked in a deep voice: "You have known that these trees can eat people, right?
What does your relationship with this matter?
When the hiker disappeared, why didn’t you tell the truth?”
The gardener stared at Chen Qiao and sneered: "What do I care about their life or death? They are not close to me, and they don't look at me in front of me! It's their luck to be able to use my tree as fertilizer!"
After saying that, he reached out to rub the cut trunk of the big banyan tree and said softly: "Does it hurt? Look... the skin has been cut off... You have practiced for hundreds of years before you have enlightened your mind. You can't be cut to death by a blind man who doesn't have eyes... Alas, you are destined to have this disaster!"
The gardener felt sorry for the big banyan tree. The big banyan tree was also gentle to him. It shook the branches and leaves and tigers touched the gardener's old cheeks, as if responding to his words.
After seeing this, Chen Qiao roughly understood this extraordinary person.
He should not know that he is an extraordinary person, nor does he know that he has supernatural power. It was him who used supernatural power to help these big banyan trees open up their spiritual wisdom and make them have consciousness, but he mistakenly thought that the big banyan trees had achieved enlightenment for a hundred years, and thus had wisdom.
After discovering that the banyan trees became spirits, he not only was not afraid, but instead treated them as friends to take care of them. Even if he knew that these banyan trees had swallowed up the hikers, he would cover up and condone them and conceal the truth...
Perhaps in the eyes of this gardener, the banyan tree that is silent is closer to him than those humans who are not close to each other.
(It's a happy weekend again in a blink of an eye. Big guys, please vote for me~(づ ̄ 3 ̄)づ)
