I became the golden finger of the indigenous people

Chapter 222 267~268. Strange Peach; Escape!

Sun Bai and Lin Ling soon came to the peach tree.

of course.

They didn't get too close, and they stopped cautiously a few feet away.

I see:

The peach tree was full of fruits, full of bright red blood-like peaches in the shape of a heart, other than that, there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.

"Compared to that big willow tree, this peach tree doesn't seem to be aggressive..."

As Sun Bai said, he was about to step forward and try.

"I come!"

Lin Ling laughed, but stopped him, and drew out the mixed iron knife.

"This……"

Sun Bai hesitated.

He knew that Lin Ling didn't want to take risks, and wanted to try out the peach tree's method for himself.

but--

After all, the opponent only had the first level of refinement, and he had been injured when dealing with the big willow tree before; and he himself, who had just broken through the Qi refinement state, was confident and vigorous, so he wanted to refuse...

At this time.

Xun Mu seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly said in Sun Bai's mind: "Let Lin Ling go, if it's as I guessed... Hehe, in this matter, he is weaker, but he just happens to be more suitable than you..."

In his perception, the peach tree seemed to be catching something dark in the air, and established a mysterious connection with Sun Bai and Lin Ling.

"Teacher, why is this?"

Sun Bai asked.

"Just watch it, stare at Lin Ling, if I want you to make a move later, don't hesitate..."

Xun Mu didn't answer, but said mysteriously.

"All right!"

Although Sun Bai was scratching like a cat's paw in his heart and was very curious, he still agreed.

at this time.

Lin Ling had already come to the peach tree, observed it for a week, and immediately, with a ruthless face, he swung his knife and slashed forward.

Click!

In the crisp cracking sound...

A peach branch was cut off, and a dark red liquid gushed out from the cut, like human blood. When the broken branch fell to the ground, it kept twitching like a worm.

"So easy to deal with?!!!"

Lin Ling muttered, with a look of suspicion on his face.

however.

next moment.

He saw: On the peach tree, a peach suddenly swelled and became bigger, and turned into the shape of a human head in an instant.

And the face of that head is... Lin Ling himself!
"Ok?"

Lin Ling's pupils shrank suddenly, and immediately, he was furious.

"Demons and ghosts, dare to confuse my mind? Slash!"

With a loud shout, he swung the mixed iron knife and slashed at the peach-turned head.

"Stop him!"

Xun Mu suddenly spoke in Sun Bai's mind.

Hear the order.

"drink!"

Sun Bai, who had already been ready to go, swooped out and blocked Lin Ling with his sword.

Although he is at the Qi Refining Realm, after all, he made a hasty move and couldn't completely stop him.

I see:

when!
Fighting with two swords.

In the crisp voice...

Lin Linghun's iron knife deflected and passed by the 'Peach Head', only scratching a layer of its skin.

next moment.

"what!"

Lin Ling let out a scream, and there was a wound on his face, even the location of that wound was exactly the same as that of the 'Peach Head'!
"This……"

He covered his face, originally he wanted to ask Sun Bai why he wanted to stop him, but now, he was only deeply grateful and afraid.

It is conceivable that if the knife was cut just now, and the 'human head peach' was split into two, wouldn't his own head also be split?

Lin Ling is not the only one who is afraid, Sun Bai is also.

at the same time.

He also understood what Xun Mu meant before, after all, if he made a move to try, maybe he would cut himself off with a single knife, and Lin Ling couldn't stop him!
In a sense, Lin Ling was also blocking the gun for him.

"Captain Lin, are you okay? Get the medicine!"

Sun Bai asked with concern, took out a bottle of wound medicine powder, and handed it over.

"It's okay, it's just a skin injury, nothing serious...Xiao Bai, you saved me again!"

Lin Ling sighed and sighed while applying the powder.

"Should be."

Sun Bai shook his head, while comforting Lin Ling, he asked in his heart: "Teacher, what's going on?"

"Sure enough, as I guessed."

Xun Mu explained: "That peach tree has established a connection with you. As long as you attack it, you will be captured with a ray of 'soul breath' and grow a 'human head peach'... Then, all your attacks on it , will be transferred to the 'human head peach'... To put it simply, it is: you are cursed by that peach tree, hurting it is like hurting yourself!"

"If you say that..."

Sun Bai raised a question: "Teacher, if Team Lin is collected into the 'empty crystal fog' space, can that curse be isolated? Also, if I kill the peach tree in the first attack before the head peach grows Killing it, wouldn't that solve it directly?"

"Smart, very thoughtful...Unfortunately, it is not feasible."

Xun Mu smiled lightly and said, "Let's talk about the first question first. What do you think 'soul breath' is? In occultism, it is more selfish than hair and blood. Using it to cast a curse, everything is different." Dimensional space just wants to block it, what about dreaming?!!! If it were a world, it would be more or less the same.”

"Let's talk about your idea. Theoretically speaking, you do have a chance to make a move before your peach with a human head grows. If the attack power breaks the table, it is indeed possible to kill that peach tree... But, in that The moment the peach tree dies, it is very likely to counterattack when it is dying, and with the 'soul breath' it has absorbed, it will curse you to death!"

"In other words, your idea, the result... is very likely to die together!"

"Teacher, in this way, is there no other way?"

Sun Bai smiled wryly: "Attacking that peach tree is tantamount to self-mutilation, moreover, it has Captain Lin as a hostage; if you don't attack it, you won't be able to go out and leave this gray mist... Whatever you choose is wrong, isn't it death?" game?"

"Well, that's about it."

Xun Mu said leisurely, with the tone of "Your child can be taught".

Sun Bai: ...

Teacher, please rely on your score!

Have a stand!
However, he is also a generation of mind and wisdom, and he reacted in an instant: "Teacher, could it be that...you already have a solution?"

"Haha not bad."

Xun Mu also stopped entertaining this cheap apprentice, and came up with a solution: "Speaking of it, it's also your luck! Why is there the word "soul-destroying bell" in the trick 'soul-absorbing bell'? It is because of its ability that there is One item of soul is against that peach tree!"

"Boy, you bring the 'Dementor Bell' and activate it yourself, and I will help you regain Lin Ling's 'soul breath' and protect the soul for you... In this way, the peach tree can be abolished." The ability to kill it without injury!"

"Great!"

Sun Bai clenched his fists tightly, withdrew his mind, and said to Lin Ling: "Captain Lin, please lend me the 'Dementor Bell', I have a way to deal with that peach tree!"

"it is good!"

Lin Ling knew that Sun Bai had some strange things, but he didn't ask any more questions, and handed the "Dementor Bell" to him.

"Teacher, please help me!"

Sun Bai took a deep breath, stirred up his inner energy, and triggered the 'soul-destroying bell'.

Jingle Bell!
Circles of translucent ripples spread out, covering the peach tree.

"Can!"

Xun Mu smiled lightly, reached out his senses, and saw: on that peach tree, there was an invisible and intangible aura wandering around, always entangled with Lin Ling's 'peach head'!
"The third branch from the left, five inches below the tip, condenses the sound waves of the 'Dementor Bell' into one point, attack!"

"understand!"

Sun Bai's eyes narrowed, and he immediately rang the 'soul-destroying bell', and did as he was told.

Jingle bells!

The bell rang quickly, and the diffused translucent sound wave suddenly condensed into a single point, hitting the position Xun Mu said.

Puchi!

In an extremely slight voice...

Xun Mu 'saw': within Taoshu's body, the restrained and wandering aura instantly broke through the blockade and returned to Lin Ling's body in a flash.

"I am..."

Lin Ling murmured, feeling as if a big stone had been put down in his heart, unprecedentedly relaxed.

Immediately.

On that peach tree, the 'Peach Human Head' was gathered together and turned into a heart-shaped bright red fruit again.

"At this moment, ask Lin Ling to cut down the peach tree!"

Xun Mu gave orders.

"Got it, teacher!"

While shaking the 'Dementor Bell', Sun Bai restrained the peach tree, and at the same time conveyed Xun Mu's words: "Captain Lin, hurry up and cut down the peach tree!"

"Haha, I'm here, let me repay my revenge!"

Lin Ling laughed loudly, strode out vigorously, swung the mixed iron knife and slashed down.

Buzz!
The peach tree seemed to feel the disaster of falling, trembling slightly, and started a desperate counterattack.

In Xun Mu's perception, he could see: countless invisible silk threads emanated from the peach tree and pierced into Lin Ling's body, wanting to get another ray of "soul breath" so as to cast a curse and die with him!
"Actuate the soul-destroying bell, target Lin Ling, immediately!"

Xun Mu ordered decisively.

"This……"

Although Sun Bai was hesitating in words, his long-standing trust had made him respond in action.

Jingle Bell!
The translucent sound waves enveloped Lin Ling, causing him to fall into a daze, and at the same time cut off the invisible threads.

of course.

Although Lin Ling was in a trance, the mixed iron knife in his hand whizzed down with inertia.

The knife flashed.

Click!
With a crisp sound...

That peach tree was broken in response!

Woohoo!
The yin qi was raging, and resentful spirits flew in all directions. Not long after, the peach tree had completely melted away, leaving only a fist-sized red strange stone and a bright red heart of the peach tree.

"I killed this peach tree?"

Lin Ling came back to his senses, still in a daze, muttering to himself in disbelief.

"Yes, Captain Lin, we succeeded... Oh, that's right! I'm sorry, in order to save you, I activated the 'Dementor Bell' on you..."

Sun Bai scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter? You saved my life, so I naturally believe in you... Besides, it's thanks to you Xiaobai that I was able to kill it this time!"

Lin Ling picked up the strange stone and the heart of the peach tree, handed them to Sun Bai, and urged: "Xiao Bai, hurry up and take us out... I'm in this gray fog, and I'm feeling weak!"

"Okay, that's exactly what I mean too!"

Sun Bai took the mahogany heart, and took out the willow heart he got earlier, and put them together.

moment.

dong dong!dong dong!
There is a wonderful resonance between them, beating at the same frequency as the heart of a living person.

This frequency forms a special magnetic field...

Woohoo!
got windy.

In front of the two of them, the gray mist suddenly dissipated, revealing the village road paved with cobblestones.

"run!"

Sun Bai and Lin Ling looked at each other, strode out, and ran out without thinking.

They ran out of the gray fog and didn't stop. They ran all the way and didn't stop until they were several kilometers away.

"Huh, it's dangerous!"

Lin Ling propped his hands on his knees, panting heavily, looking back at the gray fog covering the sky behind him, he still had lingering fears in his heart,
"Yes!"

Sun Bai nodded in agreement, relaxed all over his body, full of joy for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Although this crisis allowed him to break through the Qi Refining Realm at the critical moment of life and death, but if given a choice, he would rather be honest and break through step by step than take this big risk!
The ending seemed to be good, not many people died, and I had greatly improved my strength, but the whole process was too much a test of the heart.

Sun Bai knew very well that luck and his own hard work only accounted for a very small part of being able to turn the danger into a bargain this time, and the biggest contributor was Xun Mu.

"Teacher, thank you very much!"

He said sincerely.

"No thanks, it's just a transaction, don't forget one condition you promised me!"

Xun Mu was very indifferent.

Well, he is not the one who takes the risk. As a melon eater, he certainly has reason to be indifferent.

"Everything I have now is given by you, teacher. Without you, I don't know how many times I have died... So, teacher, don't worry, no matter what it is, I will definitely do my best to help you complete it..."

Sun Bai promised it firmly.

"Hope it!"

Xun Mu's tone was indifferent, noncommittal.

Waiting for leisure to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is easy to change.People's hearts are the most unpredictable, who can tell what will happen in the future?
He believed in human nature, but never held any hope for human nature.

"Cough cough..."

Sensing that Xun Mu didn't want to say more about this matter, Sun Bai immediately changed the subject: "Teacher, can the motorcade and the guards of our village be released now?"

"can."

Xun Mu readily agreed. To be honest, he thought those people were an eyesore inside!

Urging the 'Empty Crystal Mist'...

Whoosh whoosh!
The Qingshi Village convoy, as well as the unconscious guards, appeared out of thin air one by one.

"Xiaobai, this..."

Seeing the miraculous scene, Lin Ling opened his mouth wide in shock.

Although he had already guessed that Sun Bai did it before, and he had made some psychological preparations, but seeing this scene with his own eyes, he still found it unbelievable.

It's like the 'warrior' seeing the 'caster', psychologically, unconsciously getting shorter!
"It's the 'corpse empty ghost' we got rid of before, and I got that 'strange weapon'... It's just that it merged into my body, and I can't explain it, so I concealed it."

Sun Bai explained half-truthfully.

"So it is."

Lin Ling knew that there was something hidden in it, but wisely, he didn't pursue it. Instead, he made a promise in a very manly manner: "When everyone wakes up, I will say that I will use special means to lead everyone out of danger... Xiaobai, if you If you want to hide your words, you can push everything on me, and you don’t need to explain anything to anyone.”

"Thank you Captain Lin, I see!"

Sun Bai said gratefully.

"It's just a small matter..."

Lin Ling waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Xiaobai, I'm not afraid that you have a secret, I'm just afraid that you don't grow fast enough... No matter what happens, the village is your backing... I also hope that in the future If you become a big shot, protect the village as much as you can!"

"Captain Lin, don't worry, no matter what, I will always be from Qingshi Village!"

Sun Bai spoke seriously.

……

Not long after, the guards woke up one after another, and after some rest, they went back on the road.

When it's dark...

The team from Qingshi Village came to the next stop: Qingyu Village.
