Chapter 58: Unexpected reinforcements

Guan Zheng stood condescendingly and stopped three feet in front of Ruan Zhan, with many complex expressions of alertness, suspicion, nervousness and contempt flashing across his face, but he did not take a step further.

Ruan Zhan was still motionless like a fossil.

It took a minute for Guan Zhengcai hesitated for a moment and then raised his foot into the empty circle in front of Ruan Zhan.

But although he walked in, he did not attack Ruan Zhan. He just walked slowly around him, continuing to chant the spell to summon the Gu in Ruan Zhan's body, while urging the monsters that had been on the periphery to get closer.

In Xiao Xia's anxious eyes, the monsters tentatively approached Ruan Zhan. Because of Guan Zheng's urging and Ruan Zhan's silence, gradually, the monsters became bolder and approached Ruan Zhan's position more and more, and some even climbed onto his body.

At this point, Guan Zheng was finally relieved. He rubbed against Ruan Zhan, stopped all his actions, and thought for a while, as if he wanted to consider how to torture him. Finally, he took out one from the small bamboo tube hanging around his waist and pulled the lid open.

"This is my most powerful Gu. I didn't expect to give you a try today." He said, looking at Xiao Xia and Wanli who were anxiously watching at the 'window', swaying in their hands proudly, "Have you seen a honeycomb? You will see a human honeycomb in a while, and this handsome guy will not die yet, and he will become a handsome guy walking around, haha--"

He laughed loudly, raised his hand, and was about to pour the worm in the small bamboo tube onto Ruan Zhan's head, but at the moment when the dozens of worms that were only like black beans were poured out, a sudden change broke out!

Ruan Zhan, who seemed to have turned into a stone statue, suddenly jumped up, and casually sacrificed a talisman with his left hand, sparking in the air, heading straight towards the Gu insect, and his right hand swung the blood-wood sword straight towards Guan Zheng.

"I knew you were pretending to be fake!" Guan Zheng shouted and retreated quickly. He pulled out a black wooden stick from his waist to fight the blood-wood sword that was slashing down from his waist, and his other hand rushed to retract the insect that was about to be burned by the talisman fire.

However, the Blood Wood Sword did not hit Guan Zheng, and suddenly rushed down in the air, slashing towards Guan Zheng's waist in his panic. Guan Zheng was shocked. He knew that although the Blood Wood Sword was a wooden sword, it was an invincible weapon in Ruan Zhan's hands. If he didn't hide, he would have to cut it in half. So, he didn't care about the Gu insects and hurriedly swung the baton to block them. Allowing the Gu insects he had worked hard to refine were ruthlessly burned to ashes by the Fuhuo before they could perform their functions.

However, the collision between the black wooden stick and the blood wooden sword he had expected did not come, but he felt a fall in his waist and a "punch" sounded in his ears.

"It's broken!" He thought, and his heart suddenly felt cold on the spot, and immediately realized that he was finally fooled by Ruan Zhan.

The next second, he looked down and looked at it - Sure enough, his small drum was cut in half and could no longer be used, which means that he could no longer control the snakes, insects, rats and ants!

"So you led me over to destroy my baby!" Guan Zheng gritted his teeth.

"It seems very useful." Ruan Zhan sneered and looked around.

Because the small drum was destroyed, the animals, ghosts, insects and snakes had already escaped from Guan Zheng's control. The instinct of survival made them run away in all directions and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Hello!!"

Ruan Zhan didn't say anything, so he gave him a promise.

When Guan Zheng summoned the Gu in his body, he felt it. On the contrary, the pain that was as if he had entered a meat stirring machine made him almost unbearable. However, he understood that if he could not stand it, Wanli and Xiaoxia would not have waited for reinforcements to arrive, and then they would have completely failed.

And he tried his best to fight the Gu in his body to make trouble, just to wait for the best time to fight back.

From the very beginning, he knew that his fire spell could not stop Guan Zheng, because Guan Zheng's skill was absolutely great enough to use everything in the mountains and forests. How many dark things are hidden in a mountain forest are simply impossible to calculate. So he had to find a way to remove the firewood from the cauldron and destroy the tools he commanded these insects and animals.

He was different from what Guan Zheng learned, but he knew that all things in the same sect as the same sect, and summoning the sacred things is not just witch dances and spells. The key part is that small drum. It is not an ordinary drum, and it must be cultivated like Taoist magic weapons. Therefore, as long as it is destroyed, it can fundamentally cut off the attacks of those "grass-headed soldiers".

Everything was a coincidence and a coincidence. Just when he was unable to get close to Guan Zheng, his poison broke out inappropriately, which made Guan Zheng think he could attack him, but he did not expect to trap himself in Ruan Zhan's plan. Ruan Zhan understood that there was a protective circle formed by the innate aura around him. If Guan Zheng killed him, he had to enter this circle when he was the weakest, so he could find a way to destroy the drum!

So he tried his best to endure the pain and anxiety, just waiting for the moment when Guan Zheng approached! Fortunately, when Guan was about to put the honeycomb Gu on him, he just suppressed the ghost Gu so that he could complete his plan in one go.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this? Childish!" Guan Zheng pulled off the half drum on his waist, which was like a waste, and then took a few steps back, facing Ruan Zhan from afar.

In terms of physical strength and fighting, he knew that he was not Ruan Zhan's opponent, and might not even be as good as Wanli; in terms of strategy, he originally thought that what he did was perfect, but he did not expect to be restrained everywhere. Fortunately, he had other methods, and he was very confident that he was the most master in this mountain forest.

After leaving Ruan Zhan's attack range, he began to run around. People who didn't know thought he was scared away, but Ruan Zhan saw that he pulled down all the bamboo tube hanging around his waist while running, pouring everything in the bamboo tube on the ground, looking like he was stolen. Moreover, he was still muttering something.

Ruan Zhan stretched out his hand to retreat to the barrier and looked at his watch, "Be careful, he is going to control the Fujiki attack! It seems we are going to retreat while fighting." He looked at Xiao Xia deeply, "That banner is very heavy, but you must hold it down, because I guess there is still the soul of the ghost Gu who was locked up and was under the control of him. Those things are only under his control and have nothing to do with the ruined drum, so you can't put it away for the time being. Can you?"

"OK!"

"I'm?" Wanli asked, moving his shoulders.

"Aren't you both wisdom and strength?" Ruan Zhan glanced at Wanli and saw that he was not injured. "You must follow me closely. As long as you get to the place you made an appointment, as long as the reinforcements arrive at three o'clock in the middle of the night, we will have the possibility of victory."

Before Wanli could answer, the sound of 'tick' footsteps sounded in his ears. Guan Zheng ran back again. Although he was a little panting, he looked excited, "I'm tired of playing, you guys die!" He shouted and waved his hands forward!

The sound of "Chi Chi" breaking through the air came, and I saw the wild vines unique to the deep mountains and dense forests rushing out of the dark like demon snakes, some of which were close to the ground, and some were swinging towards the three of them as if they were swinging over!

In just a blink of an eye, a wild vine had already rushed to the front of the three people. Ruan Zhan stepped forward and swung the blood-wood sword and slashed horizontally without mercy. However, the wild vine seemed to have life. After breaking a piece, the rest of the parts continued to dance in a strange way, trying to roll him up. He had to swing the sword until the first wild vine that attacked first was cut into a foot-long section, revealing the rhizomes behind it.

Looking closely, the stem was strange, and it actually had eyebrows and eyes, like a baby's face. At first sight, you knew that it was a strange pot made by Guan Zheng that turned into a rhizome and controlled normal plants to become monsters.

At this time, more wild vines and unknown plants swept quickly from all directions. For a moment, the place where the three people were in seemed to be a low-lying place, with green waves pouring in from all sides, and they were about to flood them in in an instant.

At this time, there was no time to say anything, and there was no clever movement. Only by fighting a bloody path was the hard truth. So the three of them didn't speak, Ruan Zhan and Wanli faced each other, protecting Xiao Xia in the middle, and retreating to the west while fighting.

Ruan Zhan waved the Blood Wood Sword with his right hand, and used this strange treasure in the world to chop horizontally and vertically like a hatchet. As long as he waved past the things in front of him, he would never let it go. He saw the branches and leaves falling in front of him. As he retreated, the road he walked through was full of leaves.

Wanli on one side was not vague. He used the wooden stick covered with talismans and smashed whatever he saw. When the vines and plants hit his wooden sticks, they would either be ignited by the flames that burst out from the talismans, or were bounced to the side by blue sparks. The place he passed slowly extended into a thin line of fire.

Xiao Xia was protected by the two of them. Except for her feet being entangled by the weeds that sneaked into the sneak attack, she did not encounter a major attack. Even if she was entangled, Ruan Zhan would immediately slash her feet, and the constraints under her feet would be lifted immediately. What was more difficult for her was to hold the broken ribbed flag. You should know that the metal flag was already very heavy, exceeding the pulling force of her slender arm, not to mention that it was still swaying, as if it refused to leave.

Because as Ruan Zhan analyzed, dozens of ghosts followed behind those plants driven by demonic energy and breeding wildly, causing the residual cracked banner to produce great suction force and instinctively wanted to include them in it.

She remembered Ruan Zhan's words and dragged the broken banners to death, so there was a clear drag mark where she passed.

These three different traces stretched side by side with difficulty and slowly, and no step along the way was easy to walk. However, a distance of 100 meters made the three of them so tired that they were panting, and they just gritted their teeth and persevered. But just as they were exhausted, another open space appeared behind them.

The place was a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a small waterfall facing it, and a small pool was accumulated below. The only entrance was very narrow. Because Ruan Zhan and the others retreated, the surging vines and weeds were blocked for a moment and they didn't catch up.

Guan Zheng kept following behind, pointing at them with his hands tense and tightly. At this time, seeing them retreating into the valley, the plants could not catch up. Not only did they not worry, they laughed victoriously.

"Do you think you can design traps?" His hands changed their posture and drew strange circles in the air, "Wait for you to become a cocoon! Haha!"

The movements in his hands became more and more urgent. Before the three of them could tell what he was going to do, they felt their waist tightening and were immediately pulled to the edge of the mountain wall by a very powerful force. Before they could struggle, they were entangled by wild vines for several rounds.

"Don't struggle, that will only get tighter and tighter." Guan Zheng no longer had any nervousness at this time, his face showed fatigue, relaxation and pride after defeating the enemy, "I see you retreating westward, and you will know that you are coming to this little valley."

Ruan Zhan struggled for a while, but it was useless. Wanli and Xiaoxia could not even struggle. Xiaoxia remembered Ruan Zhan's words that he wanted to pull the rifted banner to death, so he was tied to the banner. The situation was fine, while Wanli's lower limbs were completely entangled, and in a moment they would be completely covered by vines that were still "crawling".

"Ruan Zhan, you are really smart but are mistaken for your intelligence. Although you have investigated the surrounding environment, don't you know that I have lived here for many years and are not more familiar with you? You think it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a narrow entrance, easy to defend and difficult to attack. But you don't know that the wild vines on the mountain walls here are numerous and tough, and they don't need to be rooted, so they are easier to be controlled. I used the flying witch technique to control the wild vines on these four walls as soon as you took the first step toward this side. Haha, be trapped to death by your own choice!"

Ruan Zhan still didn't speak, feeling like he was stuck in quicksand. The more he moved, the less he was, the less he could be free. He simply stopped and his thoughts changed sharply.

The Blood Wood Sword was still in his hand, but Guan Zheng was more afraid of him, so the wild vines wrapped around him were first rolled up in the waist, and tied them together with his arms, making his hands unable to move at all. Now the vines are crawling faster and faster, and they have slowly wrapped the three people layer by layer. He was buried half of his body, while Wanli and Xiaoxia are only left with one head exposed.

In an instant, he understood what Guan Zheng meant to be "human cocoon". He wanted to wrap them in with vines and let them sleep as if they were silkworms!

"Damn it, I didn't expect that one day I would become a white and fat cute silkworm baby!" Wanli was still talking and laughing freely at this time.

"The silkworm will never end until it dies. Let's see when your nonsense will end!" Guan Zheng walked a few meters into the valley to find a better angle to appreciate the "human cocoon" tied to the side of the mountain wall.

He looked at Xiao Xia.

Xiao Xia was originally not wrapped up so quickly because of the protection of the broken ribbon, but she was much smaller than those two men, so she was almost in sync with Wanli. It was just because of the banner, the vines wrapped around her tightened for a while and loosened a little, so she didn't have to be squeezed like Wanli.

She was tied to Ruan Zhan's side. She was originally very panicked, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Ruan Zhan beside her and stopped struggling, so she felt inexplicably stable and no longer afraid.

When Guan Zheng saw Xiaoxia's expression, he realized that Xiaoxia's sweetheart was Ruan Zhan. He couldn't help but feel jealous. He pointed casually and the vine blocking Ruan Zhan's waist shrank violently, causing Ruan Zhan to vomit and almost vomited a mouthful of blood!

"Is the rib broken?" Guan Zheng laughed maliciously, "I can also make a dead cocoon. As long as I use force, the broken ribs will pierce the internal organs. Or do you want the bones to turn outward and be a hedgehog?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiaoxia, admiring her heartache expression that almost shed tears. He didn't know whether it was the joy of revenge or the even more sad and lost.

Ruan Zhan stubbornly held back and was about to spit out blood from his throat. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a way to get out of trouble.

He raised his head and before he could tell Wanli how to cooperate, he first broke into another person in his eyes, a man standing at the mouth of the valley - a beautiful woman in red!

Reinforcements arrived!

Although he knew that the reinforcements would never save them, but just for his next plan, she finally arrived as promised.
Chapter completed!
