Every cause must bear fruit, your catastrophe is me

The forest at night is so dark that you can't see your fingers, and it's hard for even the moonlight to penetrate.

There was no sound around, and the silence was a little scary.

Or maybe it was frightened by the aura emanating from Gu Nanzhu and the ancient ape just now, some little monsters or beasts that were still hunting nearby had disappeared without a trace.

At this time, a girl was covering her mouth and sobbing as she ran towards the depths of the dense forest, regardless of whether she was still in the middle of the forest or not, and she didn't know where she was going.

"It's all my fault, I killed the three elders!"

Li Xiaoxiao broke down in tears, talking to herself full of self-blame, and finally stopped in front of an extremely huge tree, clutching the trunk and crying loudly.

This tree is tens of meters long, one section taller than other trees in the forest.

It has branches like a willow tree, as thin as a long whip, but the leaves on it are as sharp as pine needles.

As if sensing the girl's emotions, the giant tree slowly stretched out a branch, gently stroking Xiaoxiao's head like a mother.

Seeing this, she raised her tearful eyes, only to see a vague and slender shadow passing above her head.

It moved very lightly, as if afraid of disturbing the girl.

In this world, it is not uncommon for trees to become spirits, but most of them have no intelligence even after becoming spirits, and they will not actively harm other creatures.

It's just that this tree looks a little strange, she seems to have never seen such a strange tree.

"Are you... a dryad?"

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but took two steps back, and said tentatively in a very light tone.

Unexpectedly, the tree understood, and the branches on its body trembled a few times, and then stretched out another branch to slowly wrap around Xiaoxiao, as if comforting her.

Immediately another branch sprouted to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Thank you."

Seeing that the tree spirit was not malicious, Xiaoxiao sobbed and stroked its trunk with her hands.

Its branches are very warm, bringing an unprecedented warmth in the forest at night, and a fragrance gradually begins to fill the air.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao involuntarily touched her other hand.

But for some reason, her head suddenly became dizzy at this moment, and her vision gradually began to blur.

The branch wrapped around Xiaoxiao gently pushed the girl's body towards the tree trunk.

At the same time, the entire giant tree began to emit a black light that was difficult to detect in the dark night, and the violent evil spirit quickly began to spread from around the giant tree.

It seemed as if it wanted to integrate the girl into her body. At this time, Xiaoxiao had completely lost consciousness, and she didn't realize that the hands that were touching the tree trunk had been integrated into it.

Seeing that her body was about to enter, another woman's roar suddenly came from a distance.

"Monster, put Xiaoxiao down!"

Gu Nanzhu's feet were blown by the wind, and he rushed towards this side quickly.

At the same time, a long sword emitting golden light came out of his hand and shot straight at the tree.

"Woooo~"

As the flying sword approached, the branches and leaves all over the tree spirit began to tremble, and shrill screams came from all directions.

In the next second, the branches all over the sky began to entangle with each other, and finally formed a huge whip, which knocked down the flying sword with a bang, and then drew towards Gu Nanzhu unabated.

At the same time, it branched out more branches to wrap around Xiaoxiao, like a giant cocoon, and immediately sent the cocoon to the treetop, apparently to keep her to enjoy it slowly.

Facing the huge tree whip, Gu Nanzhu leaped to avoid it and jumped into the air, his expression extremely ugly.

Just now, when I was looking for Xiaoxiao, I sensed the evil spirit and followed it to find it. Fortunately, I came early to stop it.

Ancient books have recorded that some trees that have been trained to become spirits can also eat people like monsters, but it takes a lot of time for them to devour other lives.

This also gave him a chance to rescue Xiaoxiao.

Now it seems that Xiaoxiao should have been hypnotized by its tree powder without warning, and her life is not in danger for the time being.

It's just that the monster aura around this tree is more than 2000 years old, stronger than the previous snow ape, and it seems that it will be able to survive the ninth catastrophe in the near future!
Gu Nanzhu turned over a few times in the air, jumped onto its treetop in an instant, and was about to run towards Xiaoxiao's cocoon, but the countless branches in front blocked her way.

I saw Gu Nanzhu clenched her palm, and the flying sword in the distance flew back to her hand in an instant.

"Go away!"

Gu Nanzhu said coldly, waving the long sword in his hand, several strands of sword energy cut towards these branches.

The crackling sound echoed around, and each branch was cut into several sections under the sword energy.

However, what is surprising is that these branches grow new branches as soon as the front feet break, and the whole growth process takes less than a second, as if they can be regenerated infinitely.

And when those severed branches and leaves fell to the ground, they were instantly absorbed by other branches, and the whole process was smooth and smooth, which was shocking.

At this time, the huge dryad began to show its true colors.

Countless branches were swaying in the forest at night, at this time, the needles and leaves all over the branches began to shoot at Gu Nanzhu densely like hidden weapons.

Reluctantly, she could only jump up into the sky and dodge Yujian.

The cultivation of this tree has reached the Ninth Turn of the Golden Core in the human realm. Looking from above, its canopy can cover a radius of [-] meters, and a single tree can form a forest.

The latter's branches can even extend to 300 meters away, which is beyond the reach of ordinary dryads.

Whizzing!

The branches and leaves swayed, and the sharp needles like raindrops pierced the sky, the denseness made the scalp numb.

Even though Gu Nanzhu was able to volley with his sword, it was difficult for him to dodge completely at once. When she saw this, she gritted her teeth and directly condensed a golden barrier on her body.

Crackling and crashing sounds came from the barrier, causing ripples.

She firmly controlled the barrier, but there were too many needles and leaves, and they were extremely hard. Even if the power on them was not strong, Gu Nanzhu was almost overwhelmed by the gathering of so many needles.

Her cheeks gradually turned pale, she was panting slightly, and the aura in her body was rapidly being consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But these needles seemed to be endless, and they couldn't be fired at all, and they were too dense, so that she had no chance to fight back with the seal.

When she was struggling to resist these needles, suddenly the branches on the dryad's body began to fuse, and finally turned into a huge long tree whip, which swished fiercely towards Gu Nanzhu in the air.

Because he was still manipulating the barrier to resist the needles, Gu Nanzhu couldn't distract himself from resisting the tree whip, and could only watch it sweep away.

The green tree whip whistled with a strong wind, but just as it was about to hit Gu Nanzhu's body, a dull roar came from a distance.

Immediately afterwards, the white snow ape jumped up, stretched out its huge fist and blasted towards the tree whip in an instant.
