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

That thing is not as strong as the root system of the locust tree, but is weak and powerless. As long as they pull it gently, they can break free.

Pei Nian stopped and asked in surprise: "He has... mutated?"

The white roots crossed Chu Yao and grabbed Pei Nian's calf again, seeming to beg him not to leave.

"Sssssssssssssssssssssssssss..."

Some dry cries came out of his throat, but he couldn't make a suitable sound because he hadn't spoken for too long.

Chu Yao scanned his body with his heavenly eyes, and the roots were slowly growing inward along his blood vessels.

Pei Nian also discovered this problem. His glasses showed that this person's body was being assimilated by the locust tree.

As long as the roots spread to his brain and devour his memories, he can no longer be called a "human".

"At this rate, in another eighteen hours, he will completely transform back into that locust tree." Pei Nian murmured, "Unless..."

Just like when cancer starts to attack in the human body, the best treatment is to remove the cancerous part.

In the same way, if you cut off the part that has been eroded by the roots now, you can avoid the appearance of a second locust tree.

Although this place is in the wilderness, if someone accidentally enters here by mistake, ordinary people are no match for the locust tree.

The more people are treated as nutrients by the locust tree, the power of the locust tree will surely increase.

Therefore, they had to solve the big trouble in front of them.

Pei Nian closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, picked up the shovel, and said to Chu Yao: "I'll do it, you stand farther away."

He aimed at the end of the root system and chopped it down hard with a shovel. The shovel was not as sharp as a knife, but it was still possible to cut off these brittle young roots.

Although he knew that Chu Boting was no longer a human being, the scene of cutting off the hands and feet of a humanoid creature was somewhat strange.

And just at the cross-section where the arm was just cut off, a lot of new tree roots sprouted up, and they grew faster and faster.

Chu Yao said calmly: "No, after cutting it off, it triggers its protective mechanism. As long as a little root system remains in the body, it will continue to reproduce."

She asked Pei Nian to retreat to the back and fired a fire talisman.

The fire spread quickly and soon enveloped Chu Boting's whole body.

The roots of the tree are still growing stubbornly, and the new growth has a good moisture content. It makes a crackling sound when exposed to fire.

Looking at Chu Yao who was silent, Pei Nian asked worriedly: "Yao Yao, are you okay?"

This man is her father after all, and although he is a complete scumbag, not everyone has the determination to kill his father.

Everything he encountered tonight was too cruel. If the identities of the two were reversed, he thought he might not be able to do it.

There are still elders in his family who love him, but Chu Yao has nothing.

"Oh, I was just thinking, if I had known that he would have to be cremated, I should have collected the funeral expenses in advance." Chu Yao said nonchalantly.

However, he shouldn't be able to afford the funeral expenses, right?

early morning.

The students were packing their luggage, and someone asked, "Um... wasn't it said that there is an ancient town at the bottom of the mountain? I think..."

Everyone around him shouted in unison: "Don't even think about it!"

Isn't the experience of these three days "unforgettable" enough?

They just want to go home, have a good meal, and sleep all day.

"I didn't say I wanted to go now. What I meant was that we can go shopping when we come next time..." the classmate said aggrievedly.

"If you want to go, you can go, but we won't go."

"That's right, I will never come to this place again."

"Alas, a good study trip ended like this..."

While others were not paying attention, Cai Peng quietly walked up to Qi Haoyu and asked, "Haoyu, show me the photos you took with your phone."

He thought for a whole night that those pure black photos taken by Qi Haoyu might not have obstructions.

But due to the dim light at night, the brightness of the photo is very low, and the human eye cannot discern the pattern on it.

If you process the photo, you might be able to tell something.

Cai Peng didn't doubt the two people Qi Haoyu identified, but if there was really a gangster hiding in the mountain, he could use the photos as evidence to call the police.

"What photos?" Qi Haoyu was confused, "I haven't taken any photos in the past few days?"

"Really? Didn't you show it to me yesterday? Turn on your phone and take a look." Cai Peng asked suspiciously.

Qi Haoyu took out his mobile phone, and there were indeed a few photos in the album that he had no impression of. However, these photos were not completely black, but he could vaguely see something in the distance.

Cai Peng deliberately enlarged the photo to the maximum size, "Hey, what is this? It looks like a tree...?"

Looking out from the window of the inn, you can indeed see an unobstructed view of the mountains behind.

But, are there really trees on the back hill?

How come he has no impression at all?

Cai Peng originally wanted to take a look at the window upstairs, but the monitor had already come over to urge him.

The police came with the bus. After receiving the call, they immediately investigated the inn.

The result was that this inn had ceased operations half a year ago.

If you want to open your business again, you need to go through a lot of procedures. Otherwise, it is illegal business and the boss must be held accountable.

After listening to the squad leader's description of the situation, the police got a headache.

They did not check in through online booking, and they did not find any registration records after checking in.

There is no evidence to prove that this inn is operating illegally.

They had no choice but to contact the hotel where the squad leader originally booked. It was the owner of that hotel who introduced them.

What's even more troublesome is that as soon as the police dog entered the lobby of the inn, it started barking like crazy and scared many classmates.

This means that there are still corpses hidden in the inn.

"You can take the bus back first, and we will handle the rest," the policeman reassured.

The bus drove slowly towards the city, and Pei Nian was also on the bus. He was staring at his mobile phone.

Bai Ningle was very unhappy with this person who occupied Chu Yao, but there was nothing he could do.

Who told him that he had something serious to do with Chu Yao?

"Have you found it?" Chu Yao asked.

"Almost." Pei Nian refreshed the page again, and a small green dot appeared on the screen, moving slowly.

This small dot is based on Fang Yutang’s network data to simulate Fang Yutang’s trajectory.

The penultimate time he used his mobile phone to pay was when he went to a gas station and filled up his gas tank.

Then, he went to the supermarket and bought more than 2,000 yuan worth of supplies, all of which were fast food that could be eaten with hot water and some necessary daily necessities.

The last time, I entered a toll intersection on a certain highway.

Judging from the GPS system of his car and mobile phone, he drove all the way to the suburbs of the imperial capital, and the car stopped at the entrance of a chemical factory.

Since then, the two cars have never been started, and Fang Yutang has also disappeared.
