Chapter 448 Dragon Claw Sophora Japonica and Divine Corpse

But the grass blades are growing wildly, and it can be seen that they have not been pruned for a while.

After the Panlong Army occupied Xiqiao, the garden was abandoned. The capital is in ruins, and no one can take care of it for the time being.

General Nan Ke frowned: "The grass is too long."

The pennisetum next to him is nearly six feet long. Even if no one takes care of it for two months, can it grow so tall? Then in a few months, this place will become a weed paradise.

Chamberlain Chang said: "That's what happens in the West Garden. All plants will grow wildly. If they are not pruned for a few days, they will be in trouble."

General Nan Ke asked curiously: "Don't you look for the reason?"

"The late king also sent people to dig three feet into the ground to search, but nothing was found." Chang's chamberlain said, "The palace also asked magicians to come and see it. They only said that the place is rich in vitality, can promote the growth of vegetation, and is also very good for the human body. Queen I am weak, so I often come here to sit in the pavilion and watch the flowers.”

"This place can stimulate the growth of vegetation, but it is not beneficial to the human body, but harmful to the human body." The red general said lightly, "The Queen died early, right?"

"Ah, yes. In the third year after moving in..."

General Red said to the soldiers behind him: "Spread out and find the place where the largest number of snakes, insects, rats and ants gather!"

The crowd immediately dispersed.

The garden is very big. Thirty or forty people put in and immediately disappeared.

These dozens of people would not pity the flowers and leaves, and they would stab the ground with their weapons. Of course, the lush grass nest is inhabited by small creatures. Rats and ants are scrambling to escape, and willow branches even poked into a snake's nest.

If she hadn't been on a mission, she would have wanted to grill all these seven or eight snakes into spicy strips.

At this moment, He Lingchuan saw a figure flash past from the corner of his eye and jump into the grass.

Although the opponent was fast, He Lingchuan had better eyesight, and he immediately recognized that it was a weasel, as big as a wild dog.

With this kind of body shape, he must be a monster, right?

He followed in two steps. There were all shuddering sounds in front of him, but they quickly disappeared.

He Lingchuan moved forward through the grass in the direction where the sound disappeared, and soon found a big tree at the end of the long grass.

The dragon-clawed locust tree, which can only be hugged by six people, has lush branches and leaves, and the leaves can actually reflect the luster of metal in the sunlight.

He walked around the tree and found no holes.

How did the shadow disappear?

He Lingchuan zoomed in and searched in circles.

Finally, he found a hole under a low hill two feet away from the root of the tree. The entrance to the cave was blocked by thick shrubs and covered with a few broken tiles, the kind that can be seen everywhere in the garden.

He Lingchuan carefully observed the traces of the cave entrance and had an idea. Based on his experience in hunting monsters on the Chipa Plateau, there are at least four or five yellow weasels living here, probably a whole family, neatly organized.

The West Garden has lush vegetation and numerous snakes and rats, making it a paradise for weasel monsters.

He Lingchuan took out a bunch of herbs from his arms, lit them, threw them into the hole, and kept an eye on the surrounding area.

Soon, in addition to the hole, the old locust tree also started to smoke.

It seems that the soil cave and the bottom of the tree are connected to each other.

He raised his voice and shouted: "There is a nest of weasel monsters here!"

There was a rustle in the grass, and before He Lingchuan could even blink a few times, the red general came to his side.

This is also... too fast.

General Red looked at the old locust tree, then leaned over to look at the entrance of the cave, and praised: "Well done."

Just after hearing two squeaks, the ferret monster jumped out of the hole and bit the red general.

He Lingchuan covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly.

Sure enough, the next second, the red general grabbed it by the neck and carried it in his hand.

The reason why I don't mention its big tail is because creatures like weasels also have biochemical weapons...

Regardless of its grinning teeth, the red general shook the yellow weasel in his hand: "I know you understand human speech. Cooperate with me, and your whole family will not be hurt."

This little animal is the most sensitive to Qi movements. The pressure on her body was so terrifying that the Weasel Demon gave up after struggling for a few times with a few chirping sounds.

It was held in the hands of the red general and could not shrink into a ball, but its tail kept trembling, as if it had seen a natural enemy. He Lingchuan was really afraid that it couldn't help but let out a P.

Fortunately, the red general immediately said: "I keep my word. What is there under Laohuai?"

The ferret demon chirped a few more times, and the red general seemed to understand, and said to He Lingchuan: "Call everyone here and bring the tools for digging the ground."

He Lingchuan nodded and went to do it.

Just a quarter of an hour later, the Gale Army and craftsmen arrived with tools.

General Red had already let go of the weasel demon. He pointed at the old locust tree and said, "Follow the direction of the weasel hole and dig under the tree until you dig out something."

This ground had not been touched for who knows how many years. It was as hard as iron, but it could not stop everyone from shoveling and hoeing, and a big hole was soon dug out.

The further down you go, the darker the soil color becomes.

The soil below four feet is dark red, and with water seeping from the ground, it feels wet and sticky, and it really looks a bit like blood...

The red general looked at it and said: "The Yin Qi is stronger than the anger, and there are also wood ghosts growing there. What good will happen to the weak if they stay here for a long time?"

Chamberlain Chang also craned his neck to look into the pit: "That magician is talking nonsense."

Willow snorted: "Maybe the magician knows everything in his heart."

While everyone was digging the ground, the old locust tree suddenly stopped moving without any wind, and its branches and leaves rustled.

The craftsmen were stunned and did not dare to continue. Only the Gale Army turned a blind eye and continued to hoe.

"This tree has absorbed nutrients from the ground and has become a monster. Now it's worried that we will dig up its roots." General Red said, pressing his hand on the locust tree, "Don't cause trouble, and I won't hurt your life."

But her warning didn't work this time. The old locust tree rustled suddenly, and the soil beneath everyone's feet moved.

Menban stood at the bottom, and two tree roots suddenly stretched out from the soil. One wrapped around his calf and pulled violently, and the other wrapped around his waist and tightened it.

Menban was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a painful groan. The willow branches beside him saw that his waist was suddenly tightened. With the power of this old tree, it seemed that it was not a problem to strangle a person in half.

The strangest thing is, how can a locust tree have such developed aerial roots as banyan trees?

Willow branches drew their swords and chopped at the tree roots.

With the strength of this woman, she could chop off a bear's head, but the tree roots were intact, with only a white mark.

Everyone also heard a "clang" sound, very crisp, this wood actually looked more like metal than wood.

The next moment, He Lingchuan jumped into the deep pit, raised his sword and fell, and broke the tree roots in two with one blow.

Menban immediately pressed his waist and took a long breath. It was a close call, he was almost strangled.

"Everyone, go up!" He Lingchuan shouted, grabbing two nearby craftsmen and throwing them out of the pit. The other Dafeng soldiers jumped out on their own without any explanation.

Thanks to his foresight, more tree roots emerged from the soil, entangled with people, and were as flexible as pythons.

He Lingchuan cut the attacking tree roots one by one with his knife like rain.

Red liquid flowed out from the cross section of the roots, which looked more like blood.

A craftsman at the edge of the pit used a shovel and a pickaxe to hit the tree roots, but the roots were not broken, and the pickaxe head was smashed away.

Everyone was shocked and realized how hard the tree roots were.

It was almost as hard as the palace outside.

"Don't eat toasts." General Hong took out the long spear from somewhere, and the tip of the spear burned with pale flames, and stabbed into the thick tree trunk.

The flames met the locust wood, and spread all over with a "whoosh". Those who didn't know what was going on thought it was oiled.

The bark was burned and crackled, and the sound was crisp and sharp, like a howl.

General Hong drew out his spear, walked around the dragon claw locust tree, and broke off a tree root to examine it carefully.

"Not bad, not bad!"

He Lingchuan could tell that she was a little surprised, but very happy. Then General Hong tapped the tree trunk gently, and the pale flames magically disappeared.

If it weren't for the lingering smell of burnt wood and the blackened part of the tree trunk, the raging fire just now would have seemed like an illusion.

General Hong tapped the tree trunk again with the tip of his spear: "If you dare to resist again, I will make you exterminate the roots."

This time, the dragon claw locust tree did not react at all.

She said to everyone: "Keep digging."

The craftsmen and the Dafeng Army jumped down and continued to dig the pit.

No matter how they dug, the roots would not stick out to make trouble.

In fact, it was very difficult to dig at this time, because the roots of the locust tree were still tangled and tangled at such a deep place, like a net woven to firmly protect the things underneath.

At this time, General Hong told everyone to try not to damage the roots.

However, various animal skeletons were unearthed in the pit, including cats, dogs, and even three human skeletons!

Two of them were adult men and women, and the last one was very small, still a baby.

General Nan Ke was surprised: "This locust tree has started to catch and eat people, and the palace doesn't know it?"

Eunuch Chang was right next to him, and he coughed and explained: "These people were not caught by the locust monster itself, but buried here."

A Luo turned the skeleton over, and there was a big hole in the back of the male skeleton's skull, which was obviously a fatal injury.

Willow Tiao spat: "The palaces in the world are all the same."

Everyone continued to dig.

About a quarter of an hour later, the shovel head of the door panel hit a hard object.

He stretched out his hand and dug it twice and shouted: "I dug it up!"

A piece of jade white appeared in the red soil.

Another divine skeleton!

General Hong was not excited, but just asked people to spread a huge tarpaulin in front of the pit to block the sunlight shining on the bottom of the pit.

In another quarter of an hour, the sun would set, but General Hong had to block even such a weak sunlight.

After digging something out of the soil, everyone became more motivated and dug down.

Mainly out of curiosity, they wanted to see what the gods looked like. The god's body that was previously embedded in the palace wall could not be seen clearly.

Soon, the top few god's bodies were cleared out.

Probably due to geological reasons, more than a dozen god's bodies were stacked together, with jagged bones, but basically intact.

Everyone was amazed.

These dead "gods" were estimated to be more than ten feet tall, obviously taller than humans, but their heads, necks and upper bodies were very similar to humans, except that their skulls were very long and the number of fingers was different, some had six fingers on one hand, and some had only four fingers.

Below the waist, the difference was even greater. One god's body had an extra tail behind it, and another had no legs at all.

He Lingchuan was curious: "Are gods not a race?"

General Hong said lightly: "Are monsters a race?"

He Lingchuan touched his nose and understood what General Hong meant in seconds. "God" is just a general term, not referring to a single race. Just like birds and beasts that become monsters, the monsters' appearances are also strange and varied.
