Chapter 319 Aqi's Adventure (Destroying the Monster)
However, the demon tree seemed to not understand Yu Aqi's words at all. The roots continued to crawl towards the two of them, and finally formed a circle less than ten feet wide, enclosing the two of them. There were also many demon tree roots hanging above their heads, twisting constantly. The plan to let Liu Yingzi find the exit and escape first was completely unfeasible.
Yu Aqi swung his sword vigorously, cutting off all the roots of the demon trees that were close to him. After he used the force, he was not tired for a while, but the demon trees kept attacking him, and he could not avoid them. He also had multiple injuries on his hands and legs, and blood dripped onto the ground and the severed roots of the demon trees.
As they saw more and more demon tree roots being cut off, and the demon tree roots still growing denser and denser, the torches in their hands were burning out bit by bit. It seemed that sooner or later the two would be drowned by the demon tree roots.
Yu Aqi shouted, "Miss Yingzi, the torch is almost out. Can you try to light these damn tree roots on the ground?"
Liu Yingzi said, "That would burn us all to death."
"That's nothing to worry about! It's better to be burned to death than to be eaten by evil spirits."
Liu Yingzi thought the same and piled up a pile of severed roots of the demon tree on the ground and burned them with the torch in her hand.
Unfortunately, these demon tree roots were not easy to ignite. Liu Yingzi spent half a day trying to ignite a single demon tree root.
She knew there was no hope of survival, and she was so anxious that she threw away the torch in her hand and cried, "We can't escape. I think you...don't bother yourself!"
The fire in Yu Aqi's hand had long been extinguished, and he was extremely anxious at this time. He was not careful, and his left arm was pierced by a sharp root of the demon tree, and blood splattered out.
The torch thrown by Liu Yingzi landed at Yu Aqi's feet and burned slowly. It was the only light in the cave and was about to go out.
The flickering flame touched one of the tree roots and suddenly flashed, and the cave suddenly became brighter. Not long after, there were more flashes.
The tree roots piled up underfoot burst into flames with a whoosh.
Yu Aqi and Liu Yingzi were both overjoyed. They threw all the chopped tree roots onto the fire, and the fire burned brighter and brighter.
The demonic tree roots surrounding the two of them seemed to have been strongly stimulated and retreated at a very fast speed. Some of the living tree roots that were unable to retreat in time were actually burned after coming into contact with the flames.
Fire snakes gradually ignited in the cave and burned all the way up to the top of the cave. The demon tree on the top screamed even more miserably and loudly.
Yu Aqi couldn't understand it. Could it be that this ordinary fire could restrain this strange evil tree spirit?
The smoke in the cave grew thicker. Yu Aqi tore off two pieces of cloth from his pants, wet them on the stone wall of the cave, gave one piece to Liu Yingzi, and told her to cover her mouth and nose carefully.
At this time, I noticed that she had curved eyebrows, a round face, and a very sweet and lovely appearance. I couldn't help but look at her twice more.
Liu Yingzi glared at him and said, "What are you looking at? Be careful or the fire from above will fall and burn you to death!"
Yu Aqi laughed and said, "You think you are great just because you are good-looking, and you don't allow people to look at you?"
Liu Yingzi blushed and didn't say anything back.
The roots of the demon tree were twisting wildly due to the burning, and large and small stones and pieces of soil began to fall from the top of the cave to the ground.
In order to avoid being hit by stones, the two had to return to the crevice and squeeze together.
Yu Aqi's clothes were made into torches and burned, leaving him naked. Liu Yingzi huddled close to him, her heart pounding.
The two of them looked at the fantastic and spectacular scene outside quietly without saying a word.
As the flames grew higher, several objects fell from several thick tree trunks with a clatter. They looked like several people.
When the flames could no longer hurt anyone, the two of them hurried over to check, and found that the people who fell were Niu Shishu and three other soldiers, as well as Liu Yingzi's father Liu Chenggui and the square-faced young man.
When I touched their noses, I found their breathing was heavy and it seemed that they were all fine.
Not long after, several people woke up one after another, looking at the mess in the cave, they were all confused.
Liu Chenggui was so excited to see his daughter again that he was at a loss for words. The father and daughter hugged each other tightly, and Liu Yingzi burst into tears.
Everyone escaped death, and they were all moved when they saw Liu Chenggui and his daughter Liu Yingzi hugging and crying.
Yu Aqi walked over and cut off the last still twisting root of the demon tree, and said with a smile: "Everyone is fine, you should be happy now..." Before he finished his sentence, there was a loud crash, and the entire cave ceiling collapsed.
At that moment, Yu Aqi was standing right below. Just as he was about to look up, everything in front of him went dark, and he was completely buried by the collapsed objects.
Liu Yingzi and the others were horrified, and when they looked carefully, they found that it was the strange old tree on top that buried Yu Aqi...
At this point, Gao Tinggeng suddenly asked, "Brother Yu Aqi finally killed that white-eyed monster and burned its lair, but in the end he was buried by the evil tree! Brother Chu, Brother Zhang, do you think he is unlucky or not?"
Zhou Weide sighed and said, "It seems that Brother Aqi is really unlucky. Such a big tree fell on his head. How can he still be alive?"
Zhou Weiyi said: "Brother, Brother Aqi is not dead!"
Zhou Weide said: "What do you know as a kid? Although Brother Aqi has opened the Force, unfortunately his realm is too low and he can't withstand the blow."
Gao Tinggeng was still waiting for Chu Xiaomu and Zhang Hou's answers. His eyes kept moving between them, and he looked very proud.
Chu Xiaomu smiled and said nothing. Zhang Hou said, "Xiao Yi'er is right. Brother Yu Aqi is not dead. But he is unlucky enough. The demon tree fell right on his head. Even if he is not dead or disabled, he will have to go back to the barracks and lie down for half a year."
Gao Tinggeng shook his head and said proudly, "You are totally wrong! You are totally wrong! On the contrary, brother Yu Aqi is really lucky!"
Chu Xiaomu was also a little surprised. It was good enough that he was not killed by the demon tree. He didn't expect it to be a good thing. Zhang Hou's expression was even more exaggerated. He stared with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, making a sound of "Ah, ah".
The other soldiers of the Dongzhong Army looked calm, as they must have heard it several times before.
Gao Tinggeng said: "No one could have imagined that what happened next was so bizarre! The demon tree fell on Yu Aqi's head, but it didn't kill him, nor did it injure him. It didn't even touch a single hair..."
It turned out that there was a cavity in the middle of the demon tree, and when it fell on Yu Aqi's head, it just covered him. This was just entering the belly of the demon tree.
Yu Aqi also understood the current situation and was not too panicked.
Fortunately, the belly of the demon tree was not completely dark. There was a faint blue fluorescence on the belly wall, exactly the same as the situation in the tree tube at that time.
