Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 88 Planting Trees
Hearing Jiang You's voice, Zhao Cai turned his head in mid-air and then fell straight to the ground. After landing, he scratched the ground with his limbs and stood up again. After shaking off his fur, he walked towards Jiang You.
Sun Woo also came out from behind the stone.
He walked forward a few steps, turned around, and suddenly found that there was yellow mist all around him...
Jiang You put Tang Butian down, he squatted down and looked at Zhao Cai.
"Chief, Brother Jiang, Jiang Mo is missing!" said Sun Yu.
"I'll go find him later." Jiang You stretched out his hand to Zhao Cai, and Sun Yu noticed that he was holding a ball of black light in his hand.
"Swallow it, and you will be the king of cats." Jiang You said to Zhao Cai.
Zhaocai took a step back.
"Look, I bought you so many cat toys..."
Zhaocai turned around and jumped behind Tang Butian.
Jiang You pursed his lips and said, "Cats have become spirits."
He groped in his bag and pulled out a camphor tree branch with five leaves. He used the branch to dig a small hole in the ground, put the light in his hand into it, and then inserted the camphor tree branch. Then he gathered the soil with both hands .
Black light flowed on the branches and leaves.
A leaf seemed to have been burned and turned into ash and fell down.
Then the second piece, the third piece...
After the fourth leaf was half burned, the light dimmed.
Jiang You patted the dust off his hands, stood up, and looked at Tang Butian, "Section Chief, you stay here," he lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhaocai, "And you, Zhaocai, don't let any weird creatures chew on my leaves, understand?"
Jiang You turned around and looked at Sun Yu, "It's okay, my son is very tough."
He saw the spider silk on Sun-woo’s wrist slowly disappear.
He patted Sun Woo's shoulder and said, "I'm leaving. You guys stay here and don't run around."
Sun Yu and Tang Butian watched Jiang You limping into the misty sand, and his figure quickly disappeared from their sight.
"Chief, I felt the vibration, so I ran out with Zhaocai and Jiang Mo, and then suddenly ended up here. What's going on now?" Sun Yu asked Tang Butian.
"Huang Juan briefly overlapped the fragment world with the real world and then disconnected it. Zhuang Zekun tried to arrange the battlefield at the ruins of the research institute on the back mountain of Laojin Mountain. Hu Yuefeng directly pulled us into his rules. Here, my spiritual power cannot be replenished, and the same goes for Zhuang Zekun."
"Can we go back then?"
Tang Butian looked at the branch stuck in the ground.
She said, “Yes.”
…
Zhuang Zekun and Guan Nuo walked slowly up the hillside.
"If you meet Sun Xiu again, you can't be so impulsive," Zhuang Zekun warned Guan Nuo, "We have to find a way to leave here first."
"Uncle Zhuang, can't we destroy them here?"
"It's difficult. This is the inner courtyard." Zhuang Zekun glanced at Guan Nuo. "This time, in order to make the two worlds overlap, I suspect that he is sacrificing the elite of the inner courtyard. As long as we can get out... by then, Jinghu will be in a very weak state. We pretend to cooperate with Sun Xiu..."
"No cooperation, I don't want to compromise!" Guan Nuo interrupted Zhuang Zekun.
"Xiao Nuo, I know you want revenge. I will not let Sun Xiu go, nor will I let anyone in Jinghu Club go," Zhuang Zekun promised Guan Nuo, "but our methods must be more devious. Jinghu Club has been operating for many years, and one careless handling may cause a chain reaction..."
Zhuang Zekun felt the ground shake.
Then he noticed that there was a light yellow sand all around them.
"Let's go!" He took Guan Nuo's hand and ran forward quickly with him.
There was more and more yellow sand around me, blocking my view.
"break!"
After Zhuang Zekun let out a low shout, he made a hand seal.
The yellow sand broke up a little.
They rushed in, and Zhuang Zekun was shocked to see Hu Yuefeng standing on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back.
"Zhuang Zekun." He took three steps forward and stopped.
"Mr. Hu, Hu Yuefeng." Zhuang Zekun took a step forward and blocked Guan Nuo behind him .
Hu Yuefeng's gaze passed through his shoulder and fell on Guan Nuo. "That's good. The grudges of more than ten years have been completely settled today."
Zhuang Zekun clenched his hands and said, "Then you try it."
"Sang Xu is your subordinate. Huang Hu, Luo Chengyuan, Lei Yao... they are also my subordinates who I carefully cultivated," Hu Yuefeng slowly drew out a black soft sword, "I watched them grow up from children, and then left me one by one."
The soft sword attacked Zhuang Zekun like a black snake.
Zhuang Zekun leaned forward, found a gap in the sword shadow, and punched Hu Yuefeng on the shoulder. Hu Yuefeng's shoulder shook strangely, and then he dodged. Zhuang Zekun sensed the danger, he dodged and bent backwards, and the soft sword just passed over his face.
…
Jiang You walked up to the top of the mountain.
Hu Yuefeng and Zhuang Zekun saw him at the same time, and the fight between them became faster and more intense.
"Brother Jiang!" Guan Nuo looked somewhat happy.
Jiang You looked behind the mountain, where there seemed to be a village.
Zhuang Zekun gradually fell into a disadvantage.
His movements froze.
Guan Nuo saw it, he turned his head and looked at Jiang You, "Brother Jiang, shall we go together?"
"I sprained my ankle." Jiang You pointed to his left foot.
When Guan Nuo was about to step forward, the black soft sword wrapped around Zhuang Zekun's left leg. Zhuang Zekun jumped up and struggled to break free. The soft sword hit his chest. He spat out blood in mid-air and then fell to the ground.
Guan Nuo rushed to Zhuang Zekun and supported him.
"Uncle Zhuang, how are you..."
He saw Zhuang Zekun raising his head with his eyes looking straight ahead. He followed Zhuang Zekun's gaze and saw Jiang You limping and walking with difficulty in front of Hu Yuefeng.
"Follow the direction of the spider silk."
Guan Nuo heard Jiang You's voice.
He and Zhuang Zekun turned their heads and looked back. They saw a spider silk on the ground, flickering and extending forward.
"Have you seen my son?" Jiang You pointed his height with his hand. "He's about this tall, wearing a blue coat with a yellow sweater underneath, and he has a bad temper..."
Zhuang Zekun stood up and said to Guan Nuo, "Let's go."
"But..." Guan Nuo turned his head and looked at Jiang You.
"Let's go." Jiang You's voice sounded again.
Guan Nuo gritted his teeth, and he and Zhuang Zekun supported each other as they walked into the yellow sand, following the guidance of the spider silk and moving forward.
"You are very good." said Hu Yuefeng.
"It's okay, I have a good son." Jiang You was very humble.
"Where's Sun Xiu?"
"Dead, fell to death, so tragic."
"Sun Xiu hid you, and in the end, he died in your hands. It was a worthy death," Hu Yuefeng suddenly became agitated. "I didn't give him the inner courtyard of Jinghu Society, so he could do whatever he wanted with the rest. He pulled Luo Chengyuan over, and I didn't say a word, but he was still not satisfied."
"He didn't betray you. He died in battle."
Hu Yuefeng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he said, "It doesn't matter anymore."
His figure slowly faded away, "Today, all of you will die here."
The wind blows on the dead branches.
The dead branches cast hideous shadows on the ground, and twisted tree roots quietly emerged from the shadows, entangled, and crawled outwards.
Jiang You suddenly felt a little dazed, and then suddenly became clear-headed.
He raised his head and saw that the dim sky had turned red. The clouds were very low and the shadows of various ghosts were hidden in them, with their fangs bared and their tails wagging. Black meteors with long tails swept across the sky and rushed in one direction.
Jiang Mo stood there.
It looks a bit miserable.
Half the sleeve is missing.
His face and arms were covered with deep scratches.
The spider web under his feet was constantly being eaten away, becoming smaller and smaller. The ghosts lurking in the clouds stretched out their claws, gathered together, and pounced on Jiang Mo with their fangs and claws bared like a huge wave. Black meteors circled around Jiang Mo, launching attacks and breaking through layer after layer of spider webs...
The white statue gradually revealed its figure in the huge waves of ghosts.
It opened its eyes.
Dark red blood flowed from its eye sockets.
The sound of the wind became shrill, and the ghosts and monsters wailed and sobbed.
Jiang Mo turned his head and looked in the direction where Jiang You was standing.
Jiang You remembered some things, but seemed to have forgotten many things.
