The Disciple’s Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 166

[Chapter 166 Don’t be afraid, Xiao Da’er, set him on fire]

The enoki mushrooms were lined up in an orderly manner, looking like thumb-sized dwarfs walking in a line.

There was a vine at the end of the line. This vine was very strange. There were many tentacles on the branches, and there were eyes on the tentacles. The eyes were the same size as cow eyes. People with intensive phobia would probably collapse on the ground on the spot. This vine

was not in a hurry and was driving these enoki mushrooms to walk.

“Master, what is this?” Daxu grabbed the corner of Li Xu’s clothes, a little nervous. It was the first time she encountered such a strange creature.

“I have never seen these things.” Li Xu looked at the enoki mushrooms and vines, but he knew that they were stained with the gloomy breath of death.

He retreated to the side of the path, intending to let these strange creatures go first.

Daxu pulled the corner of her clothes and retreated to the side.

The vine at the end of the team raised its tentacles, its eyes wide open as big as cow eyes, staring at Li Xu and Daxu.

It seemed as if it had discovered something.

The tentacles actually made human movements, and every two tentacles began to form a seal, which looked like countless hands forming seals at the same time.

The seals formed were different.

The top of the enoki mushrooms that were walking in line cracked and grew an eye, which looked around and then rushed towards Li Xu.

The enoki mushrooms began to attack Li Xu and Daxu.

The strong stench just blew over, and Daxu pinched her nose and was almost unable to bear it. Li Xu had to form a spiritual power barrier to cover them.

Therefore, the attack of the enoki mushrooms seemed pale and powerless, and had little effect.

Just when Li Xu and Daxu were still at a loss, they saw the vines constantly flipping their hand seals and forming complex seals.

Surrounded by a breath of death, the eyes of the enoki mushrooms that were hitting the spiritual power barrier turned red, and their eyes turned into sharp mouths.

Daxu was stunned. It was the first time she saw the enoki mushrooms grow eyes, and then the eyes turned into a mouth.

It was amazing.

The mouth with two fangs kept biting Li Xu’s barrier, as if it was devouring its own spiritual barrier.

What shocked Li Xu was that

the enoki mushrooms actually bit his spiritual barrier and slowly devoured the spiritual power he had sent out. It

was the first time he saw a strange creature that could devour spiritual power. With a light wave of his hand, all the enoki mushrooms that were biting his spiritual power were blown away. The

enoki mushrooms that were blown into the air suddenly exploded, revealing their entire bodies, which were wisps of ghosts that had been almost devoured.

The ghosts could hardly maintain their form, leaving only the mouth with fangs.

The two fangs on the mouth were green, and there was a long dark breath in the mouth. I don’t know what it had eaten before.

Li Xu could feel the strong smell of rot coming from a long distance.

The mouth attacked again, and Li Xu’s spiritual power surged out at will. The huge spiritual power surged out and turned them into ashes directly.

Li Xu appeared in front of the vine in one step, staring at the vine carefully, wanting to see what it was.

But the vine retreated hundreds of meters in an instant, and the eyes on its branches spun around, and the tentacles began to form complex hand seals.

“Puff puff puff…”

The ground broke open, and vines continued to grow.

The vines tore the ground.

Countless vines emerged from the ground and instantly surrounded Li Xu and Daxu into a vine cage.

The cage bloomed with a green luster, and countless tentacles grew inside. On the branches of the tentacles, drooping round buds grew.

The round buds bloomed and white flowers bloomed.

The white flowers grew a bunch of sharp thorns, which stabbed at Li Xu. Just as Li Xu was about to make a move, Daxu came out and said confidently:

“Master, leave these to me.”

“Look at my power.”

The small figure began to step and float, and the light blue icy spiritual power surged from the palm of her hand, and the spiritual power spread in the cage at once. The

spiritual power spread around like a tide, and the cold power quickly surged in the cage.

Soon, the icy power froze the stabbing thorns and solidified them in the air.

After freezing the thorns, Daxu’s speed was very fast, and silver figures appeared in the air, overlapping and dense.

“Yiya…” Her childish voice sounded, and a faint fragrance lingered at the tip of Li Xu’s nose.

“Bang bang…”

Daxu’s figure kept crossing in the cage, and the sharp thorns turned into powder.

“Ah ah ah…” Daxu jumped high, punched slowly, and a light blue vortex condensed on her fist.

“Take my punch, drink.”

“Boom!”

She punched out, and the entire cage was shattered.

The ground was covered with ice cubes.

“Hmph.” Dalu stood in the center of the ice cubes, clenched her palms, and a spiritual power vortex emerged, causing the ice cubes on the ground to float.

She hid on the ground with one foot, and the power of the Heavenly Fire surged out.

The flames floated out from her fists, and spread all around at once, like a tide, and instantly burned the ice into nothingness.

Daxu clapped her hands and said happily: “Master, I am awesome, right?”

“Well done.”

Li Xu gave a thumbs up.

She seemed to have learned the essence of him.

At first, she was still worried, so she just froze the vines into ice and left them alone. Unexpectedly, the next moment, the power of the Heavenly Fire Dao was released.

The vines turned into ashes.

It seems that she began to be influenced by him and got his true teachings. The things she wanted to kill must be turned into ashes before she could feel at ease.

“Hehe.” After getting the affirmation from her master, Daxu giggled, and two shallow dimples appeared on her face.

“But there is still a vine.” Li Xu’s eyes drifted to the vine that had already run away, and said: “This should be the main vine. As long as it is killed, then…”

“Swoosh.”

Li Xu didn’t finish his words.

Then she saw Daxu rushing out at an amazing speed, her face full of excitement, her ears erect, and she had already appeared in front of the vine that was running away.

“Where are you going?” Daxu put her left hand on her waist and pointed at it with her right hand.

“Swish, swish, swish…” The vine’s eyes widened, and its tentacles stretched out, trying to wrap around Daxu and crush her.

“Ah.” Daxu stood still, and bursts of spiritual power burst out of her body.

When the tentacles were about to wrap around her hands, she stretched out one hand, grabbed one of the tentacles, and threw the vine into the air with force.

She moved her body, jumped up, and kicked out.

The vine was kicked high again.

Daxu used her spiritual power to jump again, jumping even higher, crossing the vine, and kicked it down heavily, and then heard a “boom”.

A pit appeared on the ground.

The vine drilled out of the pit, furious, and rushed towards Daxu.

Daxu was not panicked at all, her silver hair was flying, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she moved her feet to the right, tilted her body, and hit hard with her palm.

“Bang.”

The vine smashed out.

The eyes on the tentacles gradually turned red, as if angry, dozens of tentacles came from all directions, trying to crush Daxu’s attack.

One of the tentacles wrapped around her feet.

“Oh, my.”

Daxu was surprised, and then spiritual power surged out of her body, freezing the tentacles, and she chopped the tentacle into pieces with one foot.

Next, Daxu kept attacking, her snow-white figure swept at a fast speed, constantly hitting the vine, and all the tentacles exploded.

Then she began to seal her hands in front of her chest, and the light blue ice spiritual power condensed and was constantly mobilized from the spiritual sea.

The air around her suddenly became cold.

The spiritual power surged, and the ground and space were instantly frozen, even the vine was the same, and was frozen by her spiritual power in an instant.

The vine could no longer move and was completely frozen.

She didn’t even look at him, with a smile on her face, and walked towards her master step by step. After walking dozens of steps, the ice exploded.

A wisp of flame floated from her fingertips.

She flicked the wisp of flame on her fingertips, and the flame floated towards the ice behind her.

The flame instantly swept, burning the ice to ashes, and the ground was also clean, and the vines were instantly dead.

She also came to Li Xu, leaned forward, and said with a smile:

“Master, I’ve done it.”

“Great.”

Li Xu reached out and touched her head. He saw clearly the scene of little Daxu beating the vines just now. It was indeed a bit like a violent girl.

An An was just like a cute little girl, but once she fought, she was like a violent girl, very fierce.

Li Xu smiled.

Daxu suddenly covered her mouth and rolled her eyes. She smelled the stench coming from the front again, and quickly covered her nose.

“You can also form a spiritual power barrier.” Li Xu covered her with spiritual power and said.

“No, it consumes too much spiritual energy. I have to use it where it should be used. I am not like you, Master, who has an endless supply of spiritual energy.”

“It is okay not to use spiritual energy. I remember that you have my first-grade Taoist method, Sealing Acupoints. You can use this method to seal your own sense of smell.”

“Master, isn’t this just like covering one’s ears and stealing a bell?”

Blocking the sense of smell.

It is true that the stench of decay cannot be smelled.

But the smell can also get into the nose. This is just like covering one’s ears and stealing a bell.

Li Xu was unable to answer her with words for a while.

Because what she said made sense.

“Master, why are you standing there like an idiot?”

“Nothing, what you said makes so much sense that I can’t refute it. Let’s go to the front and see what exactly is causing the stench.”

“Yeah.”

He and Da walked forward.

As they walked, Li Xu heard the sound of “ding-dong ding-dong” coming from a distance, and he and Da stopped at the same time.

“Master, the sound is coming from the front, and the stench is also coming from the front.” Although the master’s spiritual power barrier is covering it, the psychological effect is always able to smell the smell.

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Li Xu took her to perform the shrinking of the earth into an inch, and they appeared here almost instantly. What appeared in front of them was a very shocking scene.

There was a tree hundreds of feet high and more than ten feet wide. On the thick branches were hung dried corpses.

A small golden bell was hung around the neck of the corpse.

When the breeze blew, the corpses on the branches shook violently, and the bells rang, which was particularly creepy just to hear. There were

terrible corpses piled under the dry tree, and the stench came from these corpses.

The corpses were piled under the tree roots, some of which had mold growing on them, and some of which had green fluff growing on them, which looked very disgusting.

Daxu covered her mouth and felt her throat rolling. She

felt like she wanted to vomit.

“Master, let’s go.” Daxu covered her mouth and pouted. She could hardly stand the scene in front of her. It was really disgusting.

“We can’t go yet.”

“Why?”

“These corpses are alive.” Li Xu suddenly said something shocking.

“What?” Daxu was surprised. These corpses had been dead for who knows how many years, and the master actually said that these were all alive.

Is it so outrageous?

Li Xu stared at the many corpses and said, “These are the corpses of the undead. These corpses had been dead for a long time, but they accidentally got the divinity of this tree, so they kept some of the characteristics of living things. They are just the bodies of zombies.”

Daxu looked at the tall tree and said, “Master, what kind of tree is this? It’s so tall.”

“A laurel tree.” Li Xu said.

“Is it the laurel tree of Guanghan Palace in mythology?”

“I don’t know. I only know that it is a laurel tree. This tree must have had divine power before, but I don’t know what contaminated it. It actually gathered so many undead souls and nourished so many undead souls.”

Daxu asked, “Is this tree still alive?”

Li Xu said, “It was dead, but because it was contaminated with strange power, it came back to life, but the divine power is gone. If I’m not mistaken, this tree wants to nourish the undead souls, then devour the undead souls, and finally complete its metamorphosis.”

Li Xu was very shocked. This was the first time he encountered it. He had only seen similar records in ancient books before.

Daxu asked again, “What will happen to this tree after the metamorphosis is completed?”

“Once it successfully completes the metamorphosis, this tree will continue to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and eventually metamorphose into a demon fetus that will harm the world.”

Although he is now in the Shanhe Shejitu, Li Xu can’t figure out why there is such a thing in the Shanhe Shejitu.

It seems that the information given to him by the system is indeed not very accurate. Only the space can be used, and the others are contaminated by something.

He originally thought that he could get a unique treasure by completing the task.

Now think about it, he is purifying the Mountain River Society Map.

It’s a bit of a loss.

However, it’s not bad to get the space in the Mountain River Society Map. At least this thing is invincible in Daozhou. No matter what level of strong man you meet, as long as you hide in it, no ghost can find it.

“Master, what should we do now?” Dahu tugged at the corner of Li Xu’s clothes.

“What else can we do? Hammer it, first, destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, and then hammer the tree to pieces.” Li Xu’s goal was very clear, and he looked at Dahu.

Dahu was a little panicked: “Why are you looking at me like this?”

She became more and more nervous, and sweat appeared on her forehead. Master would not throw her out.

Sure enough, she guessed right.

Li Xu quickly took action, grabbed her collar, and threw her out of the spiritual power barrier.

“You are now a third-grade Dao Realm strongman, and you should help Master shoulder the heavy responsibility. These small matters will be left to you. I’ll take a rest first.” Li Xu took out a chair from the storage bag and sat down, watching.

“Ugh…” Without the spiritual power barrier of the master, the strong stench of decay came to her face, her stomach rolled and she vomited.

“This is too smelly, ugh…” Daxu retched.

“That’s it, I can see that you have no experience of the world, now is the best time to let you see the world.” Li Xu crossed his legs and sat to talk without any back pain.

In fact, he also felt it was very smelly.

This kind of rotten smell was hundreds of times more serious than the burial ground, and it was not at the same level at all.

If he smelled it for a long time, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

However, he could cheer for Daxu and encourage her: “Little Daxu can do it, the master is optimistic about you.”

“Ahhh…” Daxu gritted her teeth and looked at the laurel tree. Since the master said that she had no problem, then there must be no problem.

“Go… Ouch…”

She clenched her fists and just rushed out less than a hundred steps, she began to retch again. The smell was really unbearable.

It felt worse than the smell of a dead mouse.

The corpses under the laurel tree and the corpses hanging on the tree felt a different smell, and their eyes glowed with green light.

The corpses on the tree remained unmoved, but the pile of corpses under the tree roots began to stand up one after another.

Their eyes glowed green and rushed towards Daxu.

Daxu rushed over with her head held high, and the power of the Ice Dao burst out from her palm, and the light blue spiritual power wrapped around her palm.

“Ah…” She kept punching out, and waves of power surged from her palm.

The white figure kept moving.

The light blue power kept bursting out, and she was like the god of death harvesting lives, and every time she attacked, she could blow up a corpse.

“Boom boom boom…” The corpses were not strong, and were far from her opponents, but there were a lot of them.

At a glance, almost 800 corpses were walking towards her with strange body movements.

Their eyes glowed green.

The limbs can only do a few movements such as hitting and kicking. The movements are very stiff. It can be estimated that their strength is between the second and third grades.

But they are not flexible and very rigid.

Daxu is like entering an empty space. She shuttles endlessly among hundreds of figures. The palms are constantly bursting with power, and the light blue light is diffused.

She opens and closes her hands and kills them. In a moment, she comes to the center of hundreds of corpses.

She opens her hands and takes her as the center. The power of ice quickly spreads in all directions. The temperature around is getting lower and lower, and gradually even the air freezes.

“Freeze.” Daxu slaps the ground with a palm. In an instant, almost all the power of ice is mobilized. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of corpses are turned into ice sculptures.

Their movements are completely frozen by her ice power.

“Crack…” Suddenly, the frozen corpses burst out with strange undead power, and cracks appear on the ice sculptures.

“It seems that they can’t be frozen for long. We have to fight quickly.”

Daxu said to herself.

She kept wandering among the corpses, her palms wrapped with spiritual power, and kept hitting the frozen corpses.

Almost instantly, she completed the final kill, and stayed outside the many ice sculptures, breathing heavily, looking at the many ice sculptures.

Then she heard the sound of “bang bang bang”.

All the corpses exploded and turned into countless ice cubes. A wisp of flame immediately floated out of her fingertips, and the flame instantly swept the ground.

The ground became clean.

So far, the corpses under the laurel tree have been completely dealt with by her. Only then did Dalu feel that the air had become better.

The smell before was really unpleasant.

Then she looked at the corpses hanging on the laurel tree. These corpses had bells hanging around their necks. She looked carefully and saw numbers written on the bells.

“Three sixty-five.” This was the first number she saw.

A quick glance.

Got it.

There are 365 days in a year, and 365 corpses hanging on this tree.

She was just guessing casually. Although she didn’t know the meaning of it, she was not stupid. Often this number represents a formation.

She stared at the corpse hanging on the tree.

Little did she know that the corpse on the tree was also staring at her.

Daxu didn’t dare to act rashly for the time being. She picked up a stone weighing more than 100 kilograms on the ground and threw it at the corpse with the bell engraved with Sanliuwu.

The corpse’s eyes glowed green, and the black luster gushed out of its body, shattering the stone.

“Huh.” Daxu felt that this corpse was a bit strong and knew how to defend, so she picked up another stone weighing several hundred kilograms.

Just as she was about to smash it hard.

Suddenly, the corpse spoke: “Don’t you think you are too much?”

Daxu was startled and quickly put down the stone and shouted:

“Master, the corpse is talking.”

“Don’t panic, it’s just a trace of spiritual intelligence. These are the real undead corpses. Those just below are just appetizers. Don’t be afraid, beat him to death.” Li Xu said.

“Oh…”

“Do you think you are too much?” Sanliuwu spoke, with a gleam in his eyes, “Am I in your eyes here?”

“Uh…” Daxu didn’t know how to answer it, and looked at Li Xu.

Li Xu stared at Sanliuwu, and soon a smile appeared on his face: “Tsk, just now I thought that the undead corpse had a trace of spiritual intelligence, it turns out that this tree has spiritual intelligence. This tree controls the undead corpses here. It’s not the corpses that are talking, but this tree is talking through the corpses. You don’t have to worry about the corpses, just set fire to this tree.”

“You dare.” The tree suddenly opened its eyes.

“Ah…” Daxu was so scared that she almost fell to the ground. This tree actually grew eyes.

“What should I not dare to do? You dare to use the undead corpses for nourishment, wait for an opportunity to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and try to turn into a demon fetus. Do I still keep you for the New Year?”

“Excuse me, am I in your eyes?” The eyes were very angry, looking at Li Xu.

“Yes, I am in my eyes.” Li Xu answered directly.

Daxu looked at Li Xu and said, “Master, we look like villains in the storybook when we talk like this.”

Li Xu smiled and said, “No matter whether he is a decent person or a villain, it doesn’t matter if he is a decent person or a villain. I only do what I think is right.”

“Very good, in that case, I will kill you.” Laurel’s eyes were almost spitting out flames, “You have affected my plan for hundreds of years, you must die.”

“If it weren’t for you, I would have successfully transformed into a demon fetus in a few hundred years, and then I would be in charge of the mountains and rivers and the country.”

“I have already given you a way out.”

“I didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful. Since you have provoked me, just die.” The eyes were very angry and roared continuously.

Li Xu didn’t want to listen to his chattering, and said, “Little Daxu, don’t listen to his nagging, set him on fire.”

“Okay.”
