Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 754 Forty-five. Dead tree

   A dozen meters away from the shore, the wooden boat rowed through the arc and returned to the original road with the wake that dissipated in the swamp.

   galla galla galla——

  The model's rapid gnashing of teeth filled the surroundings, it approached the edge restlessly, and then retracted due to the sudden boiling mud.

   rustle——

   The model bounced, leaped to the edge to pay swamp fragments, and quickly followed the wooden boat from the edge of the swamp cave.

   Passing through three islands. Holding the wooden bowl to lure the passing old woman to stop beckoning, the girl in the white skirt curiously watched them as they passed by for the third time, and the skinny aliens disguised as humans became slow.

   On the other side of the swamp, the model slowed down this time, not overtaking the wooden boat, jumping, and following.

  When the wooden boat was only a dozen meters away from the exit, and the model was still on the edge of a hundred meters away, it seemed that it was too late to arrive.

   "Back to where we came from."

   Lu Li said to the wooden boat.

   As the wooden boat slid across the arc against the shore, and returned to the original path, the model who was deliberately slow speeded up, strode the afterimage-like slender limbs, and jumped and approached on the broken quagmire.

   It was still a step slower, and when it reached the exit, the wooden boat drifted away again, away from the shore.

   The model raised her head and screamed, bursting with terror, jumping up the rock wall as if she wanted to climb up and approach the wooden boat from overhead.

   It only climbed seven or eight meters high, and then fell down due to the steep rock wall and fell to the ground.

   waving his limbs and turning over, the alien species waiting for the boat at the exit suffered a disaster. Angrily the model attacked it, its barb-filled mouth everted and swallowed its arms.

  The alien abandoned the arm before the body was swallowed, melting into a puddle of goo and fled.

   "It must be angry..."

   Lying in the cabin, Purse, who only showed his eyes and beast ears for a peek, whispered tremblingly.

   "Hopefully it will abandon us."

  Katerina said while looking at the model who was frantically destroying the entrance in the distance.

   This is obviously an extravagant hope, and the models resent them. After the rampage, the model chased the wooden boat again.

  The monsters wearing human heads are divided this time. Some are still disguised as humans, some are slumped on the island, ignoring the wooden boat that passes by the fourth time.

  The girl in the white dress no longer pretended to be a girl who asked for help. She looked at the model chasing from the edge, and said to Lu Li and them, "You can come up and avoid it."

  The figure of the old woman disappeared, only the wooden bowl within reach was placed on the shore.

  The wooden boat is about to dock.

   At the entrance of the swamp branch line dozens of meters away, restless models wandered there, waiting for them.

   "Continue to return." Lu Li said.

The    wooden boat crossed the arc, but it did not return the same way, and instead approached a nearby island.

   "Go back! Go back!"

  Prius shouted hastily, this did not work, the wooden boat leaned against the shore, shaking gently.

   "It's mad at us!" cried Prius.

  Lu Li looked down at the wooden boat and tried to talk to it: "We are avoiding pursuit, and going back and forth in the swamp is not to tease you."

   After waiting for more than ten seconds, the wooden boat was still leaning against the shore, and nothing happened. And something is brewing under the swamp.

   They can only disembark first and board the isolated island.

   stepped on the ground, and the wooden boat slowly sailed away.

  The only good thing is that the wooden boat did not send them to the entrance where the models were waiting.

   At this moment, they are faced with two good news and one bad news.

  The good news is that the models can't get to the isolated island directly, and a wooden boat sailing on a swamp is approaching the island below them.

   The bad news is that the models are in that boat.

  Looking around, the range of this island is only a few dozen meters. There is nothing but dead trees in the heart of the island.

  Lu Li looked at the model on the wooden boat and asked for other help: "Miss, can you help us."

   "Why should I help you!" The eldest sister's head appeared on Lu Li's back, climbed up on her shoulders and shouted sharply.

   "Because we're going to take you to Midnight City and find clay."

   "Liar! Don't even think about it!"

  The eldest sister slipped her head down her back and was about to disappear.

   "Miss Tou, please help us, the models will eat us!"

  Prius was now prostrate in the mud, pleading loudly.

   After a brief silence, the eldest sister dropped a sentence and disappeared.

   "...that tree might help you!"

  Lili looked at the only dead tree on the island.

  Katerina reminded at this time: "No matter what you are going to do... it's better to hurry up, it's coming!"

  The wooden boat carrying the models was less than 100 meters away from them.

  Lu Li nodded and came under the canopy of the dead tree. A ray of consciousness composed of aura quietly wrapped around Lu Li, speaking with Lu Li in a strange language that was not a tremor in the air, but a direct soul communication.

   It needs fuel, and if Lu Li is willing to give it fuel, it will help him solve the predicament he encounters.

   And the fuel...is humanity.

   "How should I give it to you." Lu Li asked.

   "Touch, share."

   A reply came from the dead tree consciousness.

  Lu Li raised his right hand and touched the rough body of the dead tree, thinking in his heart, "I want to differentiate humanity."

   A touch of warmth spreads on his chest, along his arms, where he passes by, as if immersed in warm water, that is Lu Li's humanity.

  Humanity poured into the dead tree along the palm of the hand, and the entangled consciousness suddenly exuded surprise.

   Lu Li withdrew his right hand when his human nature was reduced to two parts.

   The conscious body was not satisfied, but there was still gratitude, and Lu Li was asked to wait for a while.

  簌簌——

   A tree fell at Lu Li's feet.

   The conscious body transmits emotions, hoping that Lu Li can take it and plant it in a safe place.

  Lu Li picked up the tree species and agreed to its request.

   "Share fuel...why...how can you do it?"

   Big sister's head appeared on Lu Li's shoulder, she murmured in disbelief, and even forgot to scream.

   "Wait a minute."

  Lu Li left under the canopy and walked towards Katarina on the shore.

  The model is about to dock.

  Katerina was about to pull out the congener, and was laughing at herself and whispering: "I thought I found a treasure chest, but I didn't expect it to be a big trouble."

   She just wanted to sell Lu Li for a big price, and as a result, she nearly died several times.

   "We don't need us anymore, just back off."

   Lu Li's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

   "You got it done?"

"Um."

   Back to the center of the island, they saw the wooden boat dock, the model stretched out the limbs tucked in the cabin, and set foot on the island.

The moment    left the wooden boat, the ground beneath him collapsed, and the model's hind legs fell into the mud. The tangled limb that resides under the swamp boils, pulling its hind legs into the sewage.

   The model's forelimbs grabbed the ground. It could have climbed up, but several tree roots broke out of the ground, destroying the soil around the model's forelimbs.

   With a low roar that made the air tremble, the model fell into the quagmire. The whole body of water boiled and roared, and more and more limbs wrapped around the struggling model's body, pulling it into the swamp.

   Bubbles of filthy bubbles emerged, the boiling lasted for more than ten seconds, and finally calmed down.

   "What the **** is in the quagmire..." Katarina couldn't help saying.

   A piece of ashes fell quietly.

  Luri turned back, the dead trees in the center of the island dissipated in the breeze of the Undermarsh.
