I just felt a big hand patting my shoulder, shrugged, and shook off the big hand.

"Oh, don't bother me, I'm punishing it..."

Xiang Luoxi waved his hand impatiently, and then continued to torture the black mouse in his hand with dogtail grass.

It had laughed until it was exhausted, and tears appeared faintly in the corners of its eyes. When it saw the giant hand made of branches, the black mouse instantly showed a touch of joy.

At this moment, Xiang Luoxi stopped the "work" in his hands, as if he realized something, threw the dogtail grass casually, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Turning around carefully, Xiang Luoxi saw the tree of life in the mouse's mouth. Wasn't that the one he climbed before? The appearance at this time was very different from before.

"Master Tree of Life, you have to make the decision for me..."

The voice of the black mouse did not reach Xiang Luoxi's ears, but the big hand in front of him was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the fingertips had already reached the black mouse.

"This, this, this... a monster!!!"

Xiang Luoxi, who had never seen the world, ran away. He didn't want to be entangled by this moving tree. In Xiang Luoxi's view, he was like a small insect in front of that big hand. Maybe he would die if it pinched him casually.

But there seemed to be an invisible wall on the way to escape. Xiang Luoxi bumped into it and instantly saw stars.

Xiang Luoxi squatted on the ground, rubbing the bulge on his head with both hands, and his body shrank into a ball.

"What kind of monster is this? It's not even mentioned in the story of the clan leader..."

Xiang Luoxi observed the mouse and the tree of life with his peripheral vision, and saw the fingertips of the tree of life stroking the mouse's head. It was completely disproportionate, and the black mouse was not even as big as one finger of that big hand.

After that, the black mouse looked at the tree of life with an incredible look, and then looked back.

At this time, Xiang Luoxi huddled up and peeked at the dynamics of the tree of life.

"Hey, you human..."

The black mouse called Xiang Luoxi very reluctantly.

"The tree of life has forgiven you and does not intend to use you as fertilizer. You can go..."

Then, Xiang Luoxi felt a void behind him, and the invisible wall suddenly disappeared. Xiang Luoxi almost fell.

There was a quiet path behind him, with various plants whose names he did not know growing on both sides. I guess he could leave by walking here.

At this moment, an old and simple voice sounded in Xiang Luoxi's mind:

"Human, I spare your life in exchange for your innocence and purity of heart. Take it and leave here!"

Xiang Luoxi looked at the tree of life in front of him with disbelief. Was it talking to him?

It seemed so.

But why did he let himself take the mouse away? Was it making noise here?

"It doesn't want to leave, you can just kidnap it. If you take it away, I will ensure your safety."

It may be because the black mouse is annoying here, and even the tree of life can't stand it.

Xiang Luoxi didn't think about it, rushed forward in one step, and grabbed the black mouse sitting on the ground.

"No! Send me back! If I leave this defense network, I will..."

The voice of the black mouse stopped abruptly, Xiang Luoxi grabbed him with one hand, and took a few steps out of the defense that blocked him before.

The black mouse looked at Xiang Luoxi with an incredible look. Being stared at by this suddenly sincere look, Xiang Luoxi couldn't help but feel a little absurd.

"I didn't expect that the opportunity that the Lord of the Tree of Life mentioned was actually a human... No wonder the Lord of the Tree of Life said to me that he would be kidnapped by a human. It turned out to be this meaning."

The black mouse actually put his hands together and bowed deeply in the direction of the Tree of Life, but Xiang Luoxi, who was only running, didn't notice this scene.

Stopping, Xiang Luoxi instantly felt like he had escaped from death.

"Human, my name is Xiaogua, because I love to eat sweet potatoes."

"Mouse, my name is Xiang Luoxi, because I love to eat... um, there's nothing I like to eat, anyway, my name is Xiang Luoxi..."

One person and one mouse suddenly started chatting awkwardly, and Xiang Luoxi replied seriously.

Although they didn't know what was happening now, both of them had their own answers in their hearts.

"It seems that the Tree of Life gave me a pet. Although it is just a mouse, how many mice in the world can talk?"

"It turns out that this human's breath can suppress my blood. It seems that the Lord of the Tree of Life has found a good servant for me."

What the man and the mouse did not know was that the forest path that Xiang Luoxi had walked on before was actually hidden.

After running for a few minutes, the distance they moved was actually more than ten miles, and they had arrived at the outskirts of Beiyuan Peak.

At the same time, a thousand meters away.

"Lord Liao, I have done what you ordered, but who knew that the kid didn't cooperate at all. In desperation, we could only surround his hiding place. When we rushed in, he had committed suicide..."

The person who spoke was kneeling on the ground at this time, his body trembling uncontrollably, his eyes full of fear, and his lips trembling constantly.

He was very clear about the methods of the lord in front of him. If he didn't do a good job, he might have no choice but to die.

The middle-aged man called "Lord Liao" has a fierce face and an extraordinary aura between his eyebrows. His every breath affects the hearts of the people around him.

Although he appears calm on the surface, everyone knows the origin of his name "Abyss Snake".

Lord Liao's family was slaughtered by the enemy family overnight, leaving only him to survive. Just when everyone thought that he would be wiped out with his family, he survived quietly, hiding in the dark like a poisonous snake, and destroyed the enemy family with his own strength.

About sixty years ago, the Tianyin Sect launched a war that swept across the entire wilderness.

There was once a tribe of hundreds of people, which was destroyed in the attack of the Tianyin Sect. The blood dyed the entire land red, and the land where the tribe was located became a "hell" that no one dared to set foot on.

No one knows what the Tianyin Sect really wants. They are always the enemy of everyone.

"You can't catch a weak kid, how can you let me continue to promote you? You still want to enter the inner hall? Humph..."

At this point. Lord Liao slowly raised his left hand, and his Dantian Qi burst out with internal energy. The air around his left hand was trembling. He suddenly stretched out his hand and directly covered the top of the head of the man in front of him.

"Bang!!!"

The man's body burst like a watermelon, and instantly turned into a pool of blood, and the smell of blood filled the surroundings.

Lord Liao showed a wicked smile, licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, and laughed sinisterly:

"Hehe, this is the end of doing things badly."

While speaking, Lord Liao did not forget to glance at the people around him with his peripheral vision. Without exception, they all had fear in their eyes.

"Hehe, this kid is quite courageous. He knows our intention and wants to disrupt our plan. Haha, he really brings me trouble."

Lord Liao narrowed his eyes, and his eyes kept turning in his eye sockets, as if he was sensing something.

With his strength, his perception ability is naturally superior. Just before, he sensed the existence of a young man.

Lord Liao smiled coldly, then slowly took out a dagger from his arms, playing with it casually, and glanced at the Tianyin believers from the corner of his eyes:

"I will give you one hour to bring me a substitute that can be mistaken for the real thing. Whether the plan can succeed depends on this. This is closely related to your lives. If you don't satisfy me, I will kill you."

After saying that, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Lord Liao's eyes. The Tianyin believers around him did not dare to look at him. Lord Liao exuded a cold breath from the inside out.

Hearing Lord Liao's order, the believers around looked at each other in astonishment. A substitute that could be so real? How could they find it?

If they were in a city at this time, it would be fine, but they were in the most dangerous area of ​​the wilderness - Beiyuan Peak!

They were only on the edge of Beiyuan Peak and did not dare to go too deep. Because of Lord Liao's presence, the weak monsters on the periphery did not dare to attack them.

But if they went deep, it would be like sending themselves to death. Within an hour, they would definitely die in the belly of the monster. Lord Liao's order, isn't it equivalent to drawing a dead end for them?

"Lord Liao, but we are in Beiyuan Peak. How could there be people inside? Even the internal masters dare not go too deep inside. Even if there is the object you are looking for inside, with our strength, how can we survive in front of the monster?"

A brave believer asked directly.

In his opinion, even if Lord Liao was so cruel and bloodthirsty, he would not let these believers die in vain. After all, they were also members of the Tianyin Sect. As the inner hall guardian, he certainly did not want his men to die.

But he seemed to think too simply. The Wasteland Territory itself was a vast plain, and there were many people who were brainwashed into becoming Tianyin believers. Otherwise, the Tianyin Sect would not have become the recognized enemy of the entire Wasteland Territory.

Therefore, as the inner hall guardian, Lord Liao naturally could not cherish the Tianyin believers that could be seen everywhere.

In other words, he did not care about the life and death of these ants at all, but just hoped to complete his mission as soon as possible.

"Oh? So, you are afraid, right?"

Lord Liao laughed sinisterly, showing his sharp white teeth, and looked at the believer who spoke earlier with ruthless eyes.

Before he could make any reply, the dagger in his hand had already flown out.

"No, it's not like that..." Before the man finished speaking, the dagger had already pierced his chest.

After executing two people in succession, the people around understood a truth. At this moment, they had to obey the orders of the man in front of them unconditionally, otherwise, there was no possibility of survival.

The others set off immediately. In fact, most of them had only one thought, to leave this dangerous "Abyss Snake" as soon as possible!

At this time, at least they had a direction, and they didn't want to stay for a moment. Everyone rushed away and moved forward in the direction pointed out by Lord Liao.

Xiang Luoxi was still chatting with Xiaogua at this time, not knowing that the danger had arrived.
