Chapter 20 Tree Demon
"Oh, whose old man is this? Is he starving to death again?"

"No, he doesn't seem to be from our Stone Village!"

The people on the ground are tall, fat, and have wrinkles on their faces. They feel much older than those who are 80 or [-] years old.

"Looking at this outfit, it looks like that big fat one!"

"No way, Fatty Zhang is less than forty this year, how can he be so old?"

While everyone was discussing, a group of people hurried over.

"Oh, it's the Zhang family here!"

A woman in her 30s stumbled forward and looked at the person who had been dead on the ground for a long time, looking in disbelief.

"This is big fat!"

She bent down, hoping for a chance, and lifted up her fat trouser legs. There were eye-catching birthmarks on her legs.

"what……"

The woman screamed, covering her mouth and tears falling down.

Next to her, several children also rushed forward, with tears streaming down their faces.

"Father, woo woo..."

"What the hell happened?"

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd.

Song Jinyue frowned. She had been looking at the corpse for a while. This person was the fat man. His originally chubby face was covered with wrinkles and was dark, as if he had been sucked out of his essence.

Could it be that something evil is born in this mountain?

She spread her aura and didn't miss every place around her. She had a hunch that the evil thing was nearby, but she couldn't find it. The whole valley was shrouded in an evil aura.

Song Jinyue looked shocked. She didn't know what to do for a while. She followed various smells to find her way, and finally discovered something strange.

this tree?

She carefully inspected them, and after a moment couldn't help but shook her head. The problem was exactly with these trees. They were originally ordinary trees, but they were contaminated with something, and now they all showed signs of demonization.

However, this small barren mountain does not have much spiritual energy. How is this possible?
Moreover, after all, these trees have not truly turned into monsters, and they do not have the ability to hurt people yet. Thinking of the dead Fatty Zhang, Song Jinyue had bad guesses in her heart.

"Ah, help!"

A scream sounded out, causing everyone to look back suddenly, only to witness a scene they would never forget - the tree came alive!

"Ah, there are monsters!"

"Run!"

A [-]-meter-tall, bucket-thick pine tree looked like a giant. It roughly threw off a branch, and those branches, like flexible hands, grabbed a few people who were close by.

"what!"

"Do not……"

Heart-rending howls came from the mouths of several people.

"Help..."

"Uh!"

The tree demon finally let them go, but these people also died, and their faces became as old as Big Fatty Tong.

"Ah, mother!"

There was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old who was crying and about to rush forward, but was held back by his father next to him.

The relatives of several other people also looked collapsed. Although they were sad, they were even more afraid of the danger of the tree demon.

"Let's go back quickly!" "Yes, just go back!"

However, the tree demon did not let them go. The rough tree roots split like human legs and strode over.

"Don't!"

"Do not……"

In the blink of an eye, several more people were caught by it, and within a few breaths, they were dead.

This also bought time for others. Everyone fled to their own caves. Those who lived farther away sought out people they were friends with and hid nearby. They took out all the belongings in the cave and blocked the entrance of the cave.

Song Hailong and Song Haitao ran home quickly, while Song Jinyue followed them back to the cave unhurriedly.

Mrs. Song was cooking sweet potatoes at the entrance of the cave. She had already cooked them. At this time, she happened to see everyone running around like headless flies, shouting that the tree has become a spirit, the tree has become a spirit, crying and screaming. The sounds come and go.

Before she could catch anyone for questioning, she saw Song Hailong and three others coming back like ghosts.

"Hey, Hai Long, what's going on?"

"Mom, don't say any more, just go in quickly!"

Song Hailong took the linen cloth for his hands and brought the hot pot into the cave.

Song Hailong entered the cave with his head and feet, while Song Haitao and Song Jinyue blocked the entrance with various debris.

"What, the tree has become a spirit?"

In the cave, Mrs. Song was frightened after hearing Song Hailong explain the whole story.

"That's it. Ma Laoba, the Sun family's wife, and the seven or eight children from the Lin family are gone now."

Song Haitao felt his heart trembling. It was so thrilling just now. The scene of those people dying in pain had a great visual impact on him.

"The tree has become a spirit. What should we do next?"

Mrs. Song did not expect that her family would encounter such a horrific thing just after they had hope in life. Although she did not witness it with her own eyes, she knew from the looks of the children and the reactions of the villagers that the incident was not false.

"Hide in this cave first and see what the situation is like!"

Song Haishan was not too anxious. He was not afraid of death. What else was he afraid of? The tree spirits. God wanted to kill people, but no one could do it.

"Suffer it, our..."

Song Haitao slapped his thigh and got stuck again mid-sentence. He looked cautiously and looked at Han Ling who was listening.

After all, this kid is not one of their own, so he has to avoid talking.

Song Jinyue knew that he was worried about food, but there was no need to worry about food. She was more worried about the trees that had not yet turned into demons. Once the time came, the mountains would be full of tree demons, and then the real despair would come.

A small cave cannot stop these behemoths.

That night, everyone went to bed anxiously. Song Jinyue bought a sleeping incense stick and quietly lit it, letting the Song family fall into a sweet dreamland.

Pushing away the debris at the entrance of the cave, Song Jinyue tiptoed out, pushed a huge boulder to block the entrance, and exited the cave under the faint moonlight.

Inside the mountain, the dryad swaggered forward, and the ravines all over the mountain were like flat bottoms under its feet. It had not caught a living creature for a long time, and it seemed a little angry. The thick branches swayed violently, scraping against the rocks and rolling down.

Listening to the noise outside, some people shivering in the cave were so frightened that they cried, but they did not dare to cry out for fear of disturbing the tree demon.

Song Jinyue found that this guy's aura was stronger than during the day. She hid in a tree, held her breath, shook her hands and threw out a few bright sharp knives. This was just a test.

The dryad sensed danger, and as it waved its huge branches, several sharp knives fell to the ground.

Song Jinyue didn't panic, threw out a few more sharp knives, and took the time to put the sharp knives on the ground back into space.

The tree demon swept across again, but then, Song Jinyue threw nearly a hundred sharp knives. After all, the tree demon reacted a little slowly, and some branches were cut off.

This also aroused its anger. It sensed the enemy's position, and the tree demon roared angrily. As the branches swayed, the big tree where Song Jinyue was located was cut off in the middle.
