Dressed as an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family, she relies on metaphysics to become a god

Pei Nian clicked his tongue a few times and said, "This person is quite ruthless. He even splashed acid on the computer host."

There was foaming liquid remaining on the floor, and they definitely couldn't get in.

The "little gift" the man mentioned was not in the house, but in the courtyard, and a shovel was thoughtfully prepared for Chu Yao next to it.

"Let me dig." Pei Nian volunteered and picked up the shovel.

The soil on the ground had been turned up just now and was still moist, so it was not difficult to dig it out.

Chu Yao was not idle either. She threw out four talisman papers. Driven by her spiritual power, the talisman papers hung steadily in the air in the four directions of east, south, west and north.

Four powerful streams of water sprang out from under the talisman paper, directly breaking away the thick soil and going deeper.

When he dug a hole more than one meter deep in the ground, Pei Nian suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Yaoyuan, did you hear the sound? Is it the wind, or did I hear it wrong?" He tried hard to identify the sounds coming from the ground.

Could it be that there is a person buried underground?

Chu Yao shook his head gently, "You heard it right, there was a sound."

The sound was strange. It didn't sound like a human being, but like the sound of an animal like a bullfrog.

"Maybe it's some bug in the ground." Pei Nian comforted himself and continued digging hard.

Who would have thought that he actually found something so strong that he almost got the shovel stuck in the soil and couldn't pull it out.

Pei Nian squatted on the ground and smoothed away the soil on the surface with his hands, revealing a dark brown tree root that was shaped like a human arm.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "It turns out that the shovel hit the root of the tree. I thought it was a corpse..."

His words stopped abruptly. If it was just a coincidence that the tree root resembled a human arm, that arm was obviously connected to a body, a body with complete arms and legs.

However, the body was already riddled with holes, and the skin was as dark brown as a tree trunk, with various scars all over it.

His abdomen seemed to have no skin and fat, and the internal organs could be directly seen. The heart, lungs, and stomach were still vibrating slightly.

Is it a living person?

Pei Nian was not sure. No living person would have the same skin as a tree, and no living person could survive with his internal organs exposed.

Chu Yao also jumped into the pit. She put her index and middle fingers together and used the wind to sweep away the upper soil.

This time, they can finally see the whole "gift".

The top is that of the locust tree. The end of the root is as thick as a basketball and is connected to a person's head.

The upper half of his face has almost merged with the tree roots, like a human face carved on the roots, while the nose and mouth still retain human features.

And his palms, arms, feet, calves, thighs, and the torso on his back are also adsorbed by dense white roots. I don't know if the tree is using him for nutrients, or if he is absorbing the tree's nutrients.

The strange noises Chu Yao and Pei Nian heard also came from his throat.

A steady stream of wet mud would flow from his eyes and mouth, and all he could make was a mixture of coughing and retching.

The locust tree seemed to like this nourishment very much. As soon as the mud flowed out, fine roots pierced into his face like thorns.

Pei Nian couldn't stand it anymore and turned his head.

He really didn't quite understand whether that person wanted to please Chu Yao or simply wanted to disgust her.

But seeing a sarcastic smile flash across Chu Yao's face, Pei Nian asked, "Do you know this person?"

"Well, in terms of blood relationship, without him, there would be no me." Chu Yao leaned down, "He used to be the glorious Director Chu, but now he can only be a monster that is neither human nor ghost."

She didn't know how Chu Boting got into such a ghostly state, but she didn't feel very happy to receive this gift.

"Is it him?" Pei Nian's eyes widened in shock, "Bah, he deserves it."

He had seen this man in photos and on TV, but Chu Boting's facial features were distorted by the roots of the tree, and his eyes became trapezoids. It was impossible to see his original appearance.

"Then... what should we do now? If you look upset, I'll light a handful and burn them." Pei Nian asked tentatively.

Chu Yao's face was expressionless, "Set fire to the mountain and sit in jail. Don't worry about him, let him fend for himself."

However, there should be no "self-destruction" day.

His symptoms are somewhat similar to those of the villagers in Wenhua Village, and Granny Hua said that this is the curse of immortality.

There is no death, no ending, just the same pain forever.

Pei Nian nodded and responded: "You are right. Let's go back to the hotel early. We can still sleep for a few hours now."

As soon as they turned around, the locust tree seemed to have become conscious, and its roots began to squirm.

Pei Nian violently pushed Chu Yao away, but his own legs were tightly entangled.

Fortunately, the shovel was at Pei Nian's hand. He severely crushed the roots on his ankles, but soon, more roots continued to crawl over.

Chu Yao used spiritual energy as a blade to directly split the locust tree in half. However, this could not stop the locust tree from twisting around crazily.

The root system multiplied too fast. In just a few seconds, the locust tree produced twice as many roots as before, rushing towards the two of them!

Pick up a broken root on the ground, light it with the lighter you carry, and throw it towards the root of the tree.

But the fire only burned briefly and was extinguished by the liquid in the roots.

"Is it possible that this tree has become a monster?" Pei Nian cursed, "We didn't provoke it, but it insists on fighting to the death?"

Chu Yao quickly cut off the roots while observing the condition of the roots.

To form a root system, nutrients are consumed, but where do the tree's nutrients come from?

Naturally, it's that weird black mud.

After finding the target, Chu Yao fired six talismans mercilessly, and each talisman turned into a sharp blade, cutting off the woody Chu Boting from the tree root.

The locust tree that had lost its nutrient bank began to wither quickly, its root system groping on the ground like tentacles.

Chu Yao used the evil spirit to wrap up Chu Boting. Once the roots touched the evil spirit, they would quickly wither and shrink into a small ball of brown and white root systems.

In order to prevent the locust tree from coming into contact with Chu Boting again, Chu Yao threw him to the ground and used fire to completely burn the remaining root system of the locust tree.

Pei Nian pulled off half of the roots on his trouser legs, and he discovered that there were rows of needle-like thorns on the roots of the locust tree. Fortunately, he was wearing long pants today, otherwise his legs would have been pierced with hundreds of holes. .

"Are you hurt?" Pei Nian asked with concern.

Chu Yao replied: "No."

They climbed from the bottom of the pit to the ground, but their legs were once again entangled by something soft.
