Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 318 Aqi's Adventure (Demon Tree)

Seeing that the monster was still far away, Yu Aqi said with a smile: "You are well prepared. Where did you get the dagger?"

Liu Yingzi said, "Brother Bench gave it to me, what's your business?"

Yu Aqi was about to speak when he suddenly saw the white-eyed monster frozen in place. He thought something was wrong and hurriedly pushed Liu Yingzi, shouting, "Run! Has it discovered us?" The two of them ran and drilled into the crevice between the rocks.

Just as he was about to run into the crevice, the figure of the white-eyed monster flashed a few times, and disappeared out of thin air on the tree tube. In the blink of an eye, it appeared behind Yu Aqi, and put its two long hands on Yu Aqi's shoulders.

Yu Aqi felt as if he was being clamped tightly by two iron pliers, unable to move at all. He felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder blade, having been bitten by the monster.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Yu Aqi took the short knife from Liu Yingzi's hand and stabbed it with his backhand. He had opened the Force more than a month ago, and although it was only the first level of lifting the tripod, he used all his strength and the force was not small.

Although the white-eyed monster had thick skin and flesh, it was no match for the iron weapon. It was stabbed in the chest and immediately bled profusely. The monster opened its mouth in pain and let out a "squeaking" scream.

Yu Aqi turned around and stabbed the white-eyed monster in the throat again. He remembered Xuanying's fight with Pang Shisan at Jiaoshan Mine, who was subdued by punching him in the throat. This impressed him deeply, so he stabbed the white-eyed monster in the throat without thinking.

The white-eyed monster covered his throat with one hand, making a strange "cracking" sound, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.

Yu Aqi wanted to attack him a few more times, but he saw his figure flash a few times and disappeared from the spot. He looked up and saw that he had appeared in the air, holding a thick tree tube tightly and not moving.

After these lucky successes, Yu Aqi and Liu Yingzi were both excited and scared, not knowing what kind of fierce counterattack the monster would launch next.

But the white-eyed monster just held the tree trunk without moving. After a long while, its hands loosened and it fell from mid-air, landing on the ground with a "thump".

Liu Yingzi was so scared that she grabbed Yu Aqi's clothes tightly and asked, "Is it... is it dead?"

Yu Aqi said: "Who knows, but it is definitely not as powerful as before."

"Go and have a look. If it's not dead, stab it twice more."

Yu Aqi thrust the dagger into Liu Yingzi's hand and said, "I've already stabbed you twice. Now it's your turn."

Liu Yingzi punched him and cursed, "You call yourself a general, but you are so timid!"

Yu Aqi smiled and said, "Who said that a general must be brave? There seems to be no such rule in the world." Having said that, he took the short knife from Liu Yingzi's hand and walked to the white-eyed monster to check. He saw it lying on the ground motionless, with blue fluorescent liquid flowing out of the wounds on its chest and throat, which was probably its blood.

The two saw a blue-blooded monster for the first time and were very curious. Yu Aqi kicked it a few times, but the white-eyed monster remained motionless, probably dead.

Before the two could be happy, the whole cave suddenly began to shake, and all the hanging tree roots swayed violently as if there was an earthquake.

What was even more strange was that there were bursts of shrill, muffled screams coming from the top of the cave, which sounded extremely terrifying.

Neither of them knew what had happened and they looked at each other in fear.

Strange things happened one after another.

The tree tubes hanging on the top of the cave suddenly came to life and began to twist wildly, blocking the only entrance to the cave. Then the light spots on the tree tubes went out one after another, and they quickly stretched one foot at a time, finally hanging down to the bottom of the cave, squirming along the ground, as if they had turned into extremely long and strange snakes, crawling towards the two of them.

Yu Aqi gently pushed Liu Yingzi and said, "Hurry, hurry, let's find a place to hide first."

After looking around, he felt that the crevice was the safest and most reliable, so he ducked down and crawled in.

The opening of the crevice was very narrow, but fortunately the two of them were not fat, so they could just fit in. The inside was wider, so the two of them could barely fit in if they squeezed together.

As the last light went out, the cave became pitch dark.

Even though Yu Aqi had excellent eyesight, he couldn't see anything in this place where there was no light at all.

He fumbled around in his arms and found that the fire starter he brought with him was not lost after falling into the tree tube. He secretly thought that he was lucky. He tore off a large piece of clothing from his body, picked up a long stick that was thick at both ends and thin in the middle, fumbled to wrap the piece of cloth around one end of the stick, and lit it with the fire starter.

As the fire lit up, the two were almost scared out of their wits, seeing dozens or even hundreds of snake-like monsters slowly crawling in through the cracks in the rocks. Liu Yingzi screamed in fear and closed her eyes, not daring to look anymore.

Yu Aqi bravely swung the short knife in his hand and chopped off several "snake heads". However, the snake-like monsters were not dead and continued to crawl towards the two of them. The chopped-off "snake heads" fell to the ground and became dry tree roots.

The two of them suddenly realized that these "strange snakes" crawling over were actually the roots of the evil tree above the cave.

After the roots of the demon tree were cut off, it continued to wriggle and crawled into the crevice of the rock.

Aqi handed the torch to Liu Yingzi, and then he swung his sword to kill the "snake".

Although he swung his sword hard, more and more demon tree roots crawled to the crevice of the rock. Liu Yingzi screamed in fear and waved the torch in her hand with her eyes closed.

As the torch approached, the evil tree roots dared not move forward, but retreated a foot or half a foot. However, more and more evil tree roots were blocking the cracks in the rocks, and it would not be long before the entire crack would be completely blocked, and there would be no possibility of escape.

Yu Aqi saw that the demon tree was afraid of fire, so he said to Liu Yingzi, "Miss Yingzi, let's make another torch and find a way to rush out!" After that, he took off his upper body clothes and threw them to Liu Yingzi.

Liu Yingzi saw a naked man for the first time, and her face flushed. But her life was more important, so she didn't care about the differences between men and women. She found a stick on the ground, made a torch, lit it, and gave it to Yu Aqi.

Yu Aqi held a torch in his left hand to prevent the evil tree roots from approaching, swung a knife in his right hand to cut off the roots one by one, and rushed out first.

Liu Yingzi followed closely behind.

Yu Aqi chopped and said, "I'll hold these evil tree roots back, and you find a way to climb out of the cave!"

Liu Yingzi asked, "What are you going to do?"

"When you go out, find other brothers of our Bicheng Army. They will find a way to rescue me. There are hundreds of Bicheng soldiers outside. You can just find one of them!" Yu Aqi magnified the Bicheng soldiers outside several times, thinking that if the evil spirit of the demon tree could understand human language, it might be scared and let the two of them go.
