Chapter 117 Taking the Credit
It is impossible to burn a giant tree to death in a short time.
——Many trees in the forest that have been struck by thunder and fire can still sprout new shoots after several years, because the underground roots still retain vitality.
Pei Xianjue only burned the twigs, branches and leaves, and destroyed the flowering buds.
Who would have thought that there is a section of tree roots in the tower, with buds growing on the roots.
Huangfu Miaomiao was right. If the raised roots were not burned, the fruit would grow back sooner or later, and it might even grow faster than usual.
Because other branches have been burned, all the nutrients from the roots of the big tree will be supplied here.
Pei Xianjue weighed the pros and cons, raised his feet and prepared to step into the tower.
Looking up slightly, she suddenly saw the figure of Queen Mother of the West!
The foot that stepped out froze, and then was retracted like an electric shock, breaking out in a cold sweat!
"Come in quickly!" Huangfu Miaomiao encouraged her in the tower, "This is a mural, it's okay, come in!"
"Mural..." Pei Xianjue calmed down and looked carefully. It is indeed a mural painted on the wall behind the altar. Because the statue enshrined is not in the tower, the mural behind it is exposed.
But what was painted on the mural was the Queen Mother of the West, and Pei Xianjue was really scared.
She recalled that when she and Fengling entered the tower for the first time, they were crushed to their knees by the invisible pressure. The cells in her body instantly stiffened, and she could not get up no matter what!
That sense of helplessness and despair makes Pei Xianjue still afraid.
"Does the mural also have mental pressure?" Pei Xianjue had to worry about this. Baozi was not with her. If she was suppressed by mental power again, no one could save her.
Huangfu miaomiao said: "Really, that's just a painting! Don't you think I'm doing well? Come in and burn it!"
Pei Xianjue was confused, "You are a devil , that Taoist priest said that demon cards have certain immunity to mental attacks."
Huangfu Miaomiao couldn't hear this, Li Qing was now her minefield.
Her voice suddenly rose: "You all believe him! You don't believe me! Don't you?!"
Huangfu Miaomiao's upper body emerged from the ghostly shadow. She picked up her dagger and chopped down the tree roots in front of her that looked like an altar table in anger.
"If you don't burn it, I will do it myself!" Huangfu Miaomiao said angrily.
The wood was so hard that the dagger could only leave shallow scratches on the roots, but the buds where the leaves sprouted were chopped into pieces.
But can this level of damage prevent a big tree from bearing fruit?
Pei Xianjue felt her phone vibrating. She was already nervous. The sound of her phone made her heart tremble, so she quickly picked up her phone to check the message.
[Feng Ling: Go back to the safe area! 】
"Feng Ling, let us go back!" Pei Xianjue was as frightened as a bird, "The Lord of the Labyrinth must be back! Let's go!"
"Damn it..." Huangfu Miaomiao reluctantly took back the dagger. , the body melted into the black shadow, and quickly left the ancient tower.
Pei Xianjue also hurriedly ran down the mountain.
There is still some distance between the peak and the safety zone. If they cannot reach the fork leading to Sanqing Palace in time, they will collide with the Queen Mother of the West on the way!
To be precise, the only one who is really in danger is Pei Xianjue.
Because Huangfu Miaomiao's ghost state can adapt to various terrains, he can return to the safe zone even without walking on the mountain road, but Pei Xianjue cannot.
It is difficult for human hands and feet to climb the steep and dense peaks here without any auxiliary equipment.
Pei Xianjue ran all the way and noticed that the fog nearby began to turn red, and his heart beat wildly. "Miaomiao! Is the boss coming?!" she asked hurriedly.
Half of Huangfu Miaomiao's head peeked out from the ghost shadow on the roadside, and there was nervousness in her voice: "Stop talking! Run!"
She was faster than Pei Xianjue, and immediately rushed forward, seeing the mist The color became redder and redder, and she knew that she was getting closer to the Boss, and her whole heart was in a state of confusion.
With Feng Ling's acting style, something must have happened, otherwise it would be impossible for the Lord of the Labyrinth to return to the peak.
Huangfu Miaomiao went back to find Pei Xianjue and urged: "Quick! Give me the grenade quickly, and I will help you buy time!"
Before they set off, Feng Ling stuffed something into Pei Xianjue's bag. Lots of grenades.
Pei Xianjue gasped and asked, "How many do you want?"
"Quick, don't worry about how many, give them to me first! The Queen Mother of the West is coming up!" Huangfu Miaomiao almost screamed, she was no less scared than Pei Xianjue.
The more panicked Pei Xianjue became, the more unable he was to unzip the bag. In desperation, he tore the bag open and all the grenades inside fell out!
The ghost immediately stretched out its tentacles, catching them all without missing a beat, then rolled up a bunch of grenades and rushed down the mountain!
Pei Xianjue almost ran out of energy, but he didn't dare to stop for half a second, and rushed towards the safe area with one breath!
The surrounding fog almost turned into blood color.
Boom!
Boom, boom! !
The sound of the explosion was deafening, indicating that the explosion site was very close to her! The Queen Mother of the West is here!
Sweat pricked her eyes, and Pei Xianjue didn't bother to wipe them. She saw the corridor leading to the safe area, and ran towards the corridor in panic and anxiety.
The moment she was about to enter the corridor, a thunderous roar came! She felt as if her body had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar, and she was so cold!
With a plop, Pei Xianjue fell to the ground.
Under this huge intimidation, her whole body was shaking.
“Run!!!”
Pei Xianjue heard Huangfu Miaomiao’s voice, but how could she run? She couldn't move at all, like a little mouse being stared at by a wild cat, her whole body was stiff and she didn't dare to move!
Sudden severe pain in waist and abdomen!
She was penetrated by a leopard tail, and her whole body was hanging in the air -
Another grenade was thrown over, and the leopard girl roared in anger and threw it down. Pei Xianjue jumped up to avoid it.
The grenade fell on the rocks beside the mountain road, exploding into rubble.
Huangfu Miaomiao pounced on Pei Xianjue and dragged her into the corridor with all his strength! But she was not strong enough and could only drag half a meter.
Seeing the smoke clearing and the Leopard Girl targeting them again, Huangfu Miaomiao was so frightened that she immediately wanted to give up on Pei Xianjue and run away!
At this time, Li Qing suddenly appeared. He picked up Pei Xianjue and ran quickly back to the safe area.
Huangfu Miaomiao was happy at first, and then angry!
She rushed into the safe area angrily, and couldn't bear it anymore and attacked Li Qing: "You know how to take the credit!"
Li Qing looked solemn and ignored her. After putting Pei Xianjue down, he immediately looked for her. Take a ripe fruit, break off the outer leaves, crush the fruit and stuff it into Pei Xianjue's mouth.
"Recovery Potion, hurry!" Li Qing urged.
"No need for you to remind me!!!" Huangfu Miaomiao shouted, dissatisfied with Li Qing's orders, feeling extremely aggrieved and almost crying with anger.
She obviously worked very hard, but at the last moment, she had to be helped by Li Qing.
She felt angry, exchanged her points for injections, injected Pei Xianjue, then got up and left——
