The master of the system wants money

"Don't get excited, Xiaoxiao, just sit down and rest for a while." Tong Huan comforted the little paper figurine, and saw No. [-] sitting side by side with Xiaoxiao silently, and then he continued to study the tree hole in front of him... The outer barrier.

"It looks like a barrier." Tong Huan stretched out his hand and poked lightly, and immediately felt a layer of barrier, like a layer of soft silicone film, which couldn't be broken no matter how hard he tried. After a little longer, you can feel a tingling pain when you touch the enchantment, which is obviously a combination of offense and defense.

Tong Huan tried many times perseveringly, but still couldn't pass through that layer of enchantment. Inside, the little hour hummed a few times from time to time, Baba stared at Tong Huan's eyes, not to mention how painful it was.

"Little boy, the master will definitely rescue you." Well, it doesn't seem convincing to just listen to these words regardless of the person, but Xiaoxiao still nodded his head so much that he believed The love is beyond words.

Tong Huan tossed and tossed in front of the tree hole for a long time without any results, so he backed away a bit, intending to study the tree. The tree in front of him was at least a hundred meters high at first glance, with a thick and straight trunk. It looks like a tree hole should appear less than two meters from the ground.

So, why does this tree hole exist?To catch prey?

Ha ha!

Tong Huan was almost amused by this guess, and walked around the big tree a few times, but found nothing new. However, he became more and more suspicious of the reason for the existence of the tree hole.

Isn't it really for hunting?

"Master, why do I feel that it's so cold..." At this moment, Xiaoxiao spoke again, the strength of his voice weakened slightly, and there was still a slight trembling, obviously, it really felt cold.

However, how could the paper doll feel cold?Not real people!

"Xiaoxiao, number one, do you feel that your spiritual power is draining?" Tong Huan secretly drove the spiritual power in his body to run, and there was nothing abnormal. Therefore, even if there is a problem with this tree, it is unlikely that it will cause harm just by approaching it. So, do you have to be trapped in this tree hole?The target to be attacked really needs to be carefully selected. Xiao Xiao and No. [-] fell into the tree hole, and for Da Shu, it was simply a surprise.

However, for Tong Huan, it only brought discomfort.

The little paper man belonged to him, how could he allow others to bully him?

Tong Huan already had a conclusion in his mind, so he didn't continue to study, stood still in front of the tree hole, and started directly.

With a flick of Tong Huan's right hand, the jade pen appeared between his fingers out of thin air, and he drew a magic circle outside the tree hole. However, from the moment the first pen fell, he felt a great resistance, preventing him from writing. It also prevented him from outputting spiritual power.

However, can the boss be easily stopped?

So, you block yours, and I draw mine, each according to its own ability.

I saw the place where the jade brush was in contact with the enchantment, colorful lights flashing, Xiao Xiao and No. [-] nestled in the tree hole said that their eyes were going to be blinded by the flash, and Xiao Xiao didn't remember to continue begging the master After paying attention, they just sat there watching the fantasy drama with a dazed face, until a familiar big hand stretched out in front of them.

"Xiaoxiao, number one, you can come out now." The hand is naturally Tong Huan's, and the two little paper figurines were stunned at the first sight, and number one was still able to maintain a bit of self-control, but Xiaoxiao cheered and immediately moved away. Jumped onto the palm of his master.

"Master, master! I knew that you would come to save me!" While bouncing in Tong Huan's palm, Xiao Xiao didn't forget to greet No. [-] and quickly climbed up, and the two little paper figurines finally left The tree hole that traps them.

"How did you get in? Did you jump in by yourself?" It's quite possible for it to jump in by itself, but it's not realistic for No. [-] to do this kind of thing.

and so……

"I didn't jump into the tree hole! We passed by this tree and walked normally, but there was an evil wind blowing from somewhere, and just like that, the two of us were blown into the tree hole..." And, If you go in, you won't be able to get out. Thinking about it, it's very wronged and embarrassing.

"Master, when the evil wind blew, Xiaoxiao just jumped into the air and was blown into the tree hole just like that." No. [-] added, and Tong Huan immediately imagined the scene.

"Then, on the first day, you wanted to save Xiaoxiao, so you went into the tree hole together like this?" Well, although it was a bit unkind, the scene was indeed quite joyful.

"Yes."

"It's all the evil wind's fault!" Xiao Xiao firmly didn't think that the evil wind took advantage of her because she was jumping too much. Hearing No. [-]'s supplementary explanation, he stared in displeasure.

"Well, it's definitely not a small mistake. Be good, don't blow your hair, the master will help you clean up this evil tree." Tong Huan comforted the little paper figurine, and at the end, Xiaoxiao directly pulled the No. [-] drill Going back to the Qiankun bag, no matter what mood No. [-] is in, anyway, for the time being, Xiaoxiao is not willing to face this tree that defrauds the paper man again.

"This is probably a decent tree. Since you don't have spiritual wisdom, you don't need to be polite. Come on, Pei Heng, just cut it down." Tong Huan waved his hand, and Pei Heng stepped forward immediately, without taking advantage of it. Weapons, squatting on a horse stance, they are about to be drawn directly, the momentum is astonishing.

"Don't pull it up, don't pull it up! I'm just a little tree spirit, and I have no ill intentions towards you..." A youthful voice with a hint of cunning rang out, and then, the tall tree crown suddenly trembled violently , On the tree trunk, a blurry human face gradually emerged. Since the material of the bottom plate is too rough, the face of this dryad is really difficult to identify.

"No malice? Your tree hole has the function of digestion. If I hadn't found it, wouldn't my two little paper dolls have become your dinner?" Tong Huan could think clearly. Although the tree spirit spoke with a youthful accent and turned into a youthful face, it was obvious that his way of life did not match his youthful appearance.

Pretend?Or just for hobby?

Tong Huan said that it doesn't matter, he just needs to confirm that this dryad is not a threat to them.

"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I... I, I, I... I'm just too lonely, I haven't seen anyone in this forest for a long time..." There was even a bit of crying in the dryad's voice, seeing Tong Huan raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately added, "Paper figurines are human too! I just want to find a companion..."

"..." Tong Huan was stunned for a moment, he really wanted to find a companion, did he find a companion and just swallow it?When you are a praying mantis!

"Misunderstanding or not, I'm not interested in knowing. If you can tell me about the situation in this forest, I don't mind letting you go." The implication is that if the cooperation is not happy, then Tong Huan will definitely let him go again. Not happy either.

"……"threaten!This is definitely a threat!The tree spirit wanted to hate at the first moment, otherwise it would be okay to slip away. However, a human being who can't even carry a basalt beast, can a small tree spirit carry it?

The final result, of course, is to be cowardly!Must be cowardly!I can't be more cowardly!

"I'll do it! I'll do anything! Don't beat me up...it hurts..." The tree can also feel the pain, the tree spirit said that he just wants to cry quietly for a while now, but unfortunately, there is only one Humble wish, there is no possibility of realization.

"Well, I'm all ears." Tong Huan was quite satisfied with the tree spirit's practical knowledge, sat on the ground, and took out a box of snacks, and I ate it with Pei Heng and you.

"Go ahead."

"..." Seeing Tong Huan's attitude of "please start your performance", the dryad was so stumped that he didn't say a word for a long time. After a long silence, he was still in Pei Heng's eyes threatening to beat him again. , finally opened his mouth.

"This forest, including the mirror lake in the center, is actually a large spirit-locking circle, and a basalt is trapped at the bottom of the lake..." The dryad also had a bit of chatter potential, and was a little reluctant at first, so he spoke Gradually, he stumbled, and gradually developed into a smooth flow, and finally there was a vague tendency to want to stop, and he wanted to explain all the eight generations of his ancestors clearly.

Unfortunately, Tong Huan was not interested in its story, so he raised his hand to stop it.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" This dryad has only a few hundred years of cultivation at most. How could he see the scene where Xuanwu was trapped back then? The biggest possibility is to pass it down from generation to generation. The main line is still completely preserved.

"Naturally... no, I heard from my predecessors that the trees in this forest that are more than a hundred years old can automatically activate their spiritual wisdom, but they will wither and die after at most 500 years of cultivation, without exception..." said the tree spirit Here, there is a bit of sadness and fear in the words, whether it is for the death of the predecessors and the same kind, or for the inevitable death of oneself, it is an irresistible fate.

"There's a lot of aura in this forest, why can't I continue to practice, 500 years... What's so special about this time?" Tong Huan frowned slightly after hearing this, propped his chin with one hand, and fell into deep thought until The sun had completely set in the west, and the old man's night wind blew in the woods, and he raised his head again.

"..." The tree spirit really didn't know how to describe that look, it just felt so scared...

"Can you move? How many of your companions are there around here?" Tong Huan asked these two sentences without thinking, and the dryad heard the lawsuit in his head. He had an answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly.

Just kidding, with the abilities of these two people, it is possible to tear up the entire forest. Can he confess all his companions?No matter how slippery he is usually, he still can't do things like betraying his companions!

"Hehe, it's quite righteous." Tong Huan immediately sensed what the tree spirit was thinking, and after a few chuckles, he continued, "Don't worry, I won't harm you. Didn't you...not notice it at all?" It's not too far from Mirror Lake, and with the sensitivity of the monster race, it's impossible to miss the movement of Mirror Lake, unless...

"The ones separated by barriers, we are just the gatekeepers on the outside. We can't detect everything inside." The tree spirit sighed for a long time, and the words he said once again verified Tong Huan's guess.

Sure enough, there is more than one layer of enchantment inside and outside the mirror lake, and the defense is so tight, is it really just to trap Xuanwu?It was still the inexplicable energy fluctuations that came and went like the wind, which made Tong Huan very concerned. He couldn't feel at ease if he didn't know the details of that thing.

Xuanwu Divine Beast...why is it valued?Are there other secrets in the Xuanwu Divine Beast?And this secret, it is very likely that the Xuanwu Divine Beast itself is not aware of it.

Could this secret be related to that Demon King?

"Can you and your companions change form? Has anyone ever entered the inner circle?" Tong Huan continued to ask, and when he looked up, there seemed to be a few more big trees around him, of different varieties, but without exception, they all It is tall and straight, and the style of painting is very similar.

"Are you a celestial master? Did you come out of the inner circle? The spirits in this forest can only cultivate with their own body, and cannot transform into form. We don't know the situation inside the inner circle, nor the situation outside, so we can only Generations have been trapped in this forest." The voice of the dryad who spoke was old, giving people a feeling that the sun is setting and the life will not last long, there is no despair in the words, but there is a similar sadness.

"The Xuanwu beast has come out from the bottom of the mirror lake, and its spiritual power has recovered, but it is still unable to leave this place." Although I have never tried it, but with the habits outside the Heavenly Master system, when the time comes, the spirit beast will automatically join him The arms of Qiankun Sack, but this time, the Xuanwu Divine Beast remained as still as a mountain, and even the volume of the hill did not change at all. One step would shake the mountain and the ground. In this case, can he take it out?

"Basalt God Beast? Under the mirror lake, is there really a Xuanwu God Beast trapped?" Hearing this, the young tree spirit immediately became excited uncontrollably, and asked all kinds of questions, looking like he couldn't believe it.

"That's the truth. My mission is to rescue the Xuanwu Divine Beast." However, the so-called "rescue" does not mean saving Jinghu Lake, but to completely get rid of the huge trap formed by this forest and Jinghu Lake.

Tong Huan had many ideas in his mind, and if he wanted to verify them one by one, he would have to get the support of various spirits in the forest.

"So...does the Celestial Master have a way to get us out of our current fate?" More tree spirits gathered around, and the old voice became agitated at this time, asking Tong Huan tremblingly.

"Maybe, I'm not absolutely sure." Tong Huan said truthfully, but he brought great hope to these spirits.

The hope that they had never had before made them willing to believe in Tong Huan desperately, and they were also willing to place all bets on Tong Huan.

"Whatever the Celestial Master needs, just ask, we are willing to do anything for this opportunity to break out of the predicament." On this point, none of the spirits present raised any objections, and everyone was equally excited.

Tong Huan noticed that the only spirits around were tree spirits. Are there really no large animals in this forest?Rabbits that can be used as prey are not included.

"There are no animals here?"

"Yes! Celestial Master, the animals are basically gathered in the northwest, where the enchantment is weaker, allowing them to be a little freer, but the situation is not much better than ours, unable to change form, after a certain age, They will die naturally." There is no pain, no injury, everyone dies silently, even the last words can only be left in advance, there has never been a deathbed.

"Then I'll go and have a look tomorrow, and everyone's opinions must be unified."
