Chapter 810 Assessment Mission: Encountering an Old Acquaintance (41)
There seems to be a barrier on the outside of the willow tree's bark, tough and solid, dark and fierce, tirelessly protecting itself.

To be precise, it protects what is buried beneath the willow tree.

Fortunately, Yu Muhuai and Luo Ji destroyed the altar in the cave, which was the source of energy supporting Zhukun Village.

Now that the altar has been destroyed, the village's energy has declined, and the barrier protecting the willow tree has weakened considerably.

With one shovel stroke, Yu Muhuai carved a hole directly into the base of the willow tree.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

A sharp and mournful wail suddenly emanated from the willow tree, nearly shattering Yu Muhuai's eardrums.

Moreover, the sound didn't seem to come from a single person, but rather from multiple people's voices intertwined and mixed together.

There were men and women, old and young.

It seemed that the pain from Yu Muhuai's attack was too much for them to bear, which is why they let out such painful howls and pleas for mercy.

The voice also contained a kind of sonic energy, like a gentle breeze, enveloping Yu Muhuai and making her feel dazed for a moment.

"Mu Huai, Mu Huai? Wake up and look at me! How are you?"

When Yu Muhuai came to his senses, he saw Luo Ji's face so close to his.

He placed his hands on Yu Muhuai's shoulders and gently shook her. Yu Muhuai's image was reflected in his dark pupils, his face filled with worry and his brows furrowed.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yu Muhuai had finally returned to normal.

"It's good that you're alright." Luo Ji checked Yu Muhuai's pupils and took her forehead temperature. After confirming that she was unharmed, he withdrew his hands.

"I, what's wrong with me?"

Yu Muhuai looked around. The shovel she had just been holding was still stuck in the tree roots, while Luo Ji's shovel was lying on the ground.

Luo Ji looked at the willow tree: "This tree just attacked you, temporarily taking over your consciousness. Fortunately, your soul power is strong enough to resist it."

With the altar destroyed and its power weakened, this willow tree was merely at its last gasp.

After saying that, Luo Ji stepped forward and forcefully pulled out the shovel that Yu Muhuai had stuck in.

What came out with the shovel was a bright red liquid, just like blood, and it even had a strong, foul smell.

Although the willow tree no longer made a sound, its trunk couldn't help but tremble.

As the main trunk shook, the entire willow tree trembled, its dense branches swaying gently like dancing clumps of cotton, quite a sight to behold.

However, now is not the time to appreciate the scenery.

This tree is beautiful, but it is also an extremely eerie thing.

Yu Muhuai composed himself, took the shovel, and began digging holes and removing trees with Luo Ji.

The willow tree trembled even more violently, as if it were begging for mercy in fear.

However, Yu Muhuai and Luo Ji were cold-hearted and wouldn't even take the pleas of a living person to heart, let alone a tree that harbored filth and evil.

As the two dug, more and more of the willow tree's roots were exposed, and the tree's life was fading away faster and faster.

Its shaking amplitude gradually decreased until it eventually approached zero.

The crimson liquid flowing from the wound on the tree trunk was initially plentiful, but later it seemed to have stopped flowing out, and then it became less and less.

However, the fishy stench lingered in the air for a long time.

It was also thanks to Yu Muhuai and Luo Ji's experience and composure that they were able to barely hold back.

If it were Ye Xu'an, he probably would have vomited immediately.

Ye Xu'an:
With their combined efforts, the two finally uprooted the tall, lush willow tree and knocked it to the ground. As the willow fell, Yu Muhuai heard a clear, distant sigh emanating from its trunk.

The sigh trailed off for a very long time, as if it had been freed from some kind of constraint, and drifted away with the wind and the clouds, gradually merging into the boundless sky.

Yu Muhuai and Luo Ji did not stop for a moment, continuing to swing their shovels downwards.

Half a person's depth underground, the shovel struck something hard, making a dull thud.

The two exchanged a glance, and Yu Muhuai's eyes were filled with surprise.

found it!
Just as the two were preparing to press on, a commotion suddenly broke out in the front yard.

somebody is coming.

Worried that Ye Xu'an and Tong Yi wouldn't be able to handle it, Yu Muhuai told Luo Ji to continue digging while she went to check on them.

When Yu Muhuai arrived at the front yard, he found that the village chief's yard was already full of people.

The leader was none other than Zhu Jun, the eldest son of the Zhu family, and his third sister-in-law, who had gone to find him.

A group of villagers from Zhukun Village stood behind him, each holding various tools and glaring menacingly at the person in the courtyard.

Fortunately, Ye Xu'an had a quick thinking moment and used Zhu Hongguang and others as hostages to threaten Boss Zhu into not being allowed to enter.

Otherwise, given the difference in numbers and Ye Xu'an's skills, he might have already been swallowed alive.

Ye Xu'an: Can you give me some face?
"Ahua! You've come at the perfect time! Quickly persuade these two students to stop and let my father, my younger brother, and my sister-in-law go. I might spare them and let them leave safely!"
Otherwise, with so many of us, even one punch from each of us wouldn't be enough for the two of you!

Yu Muhuai suppressed a laugh; another group of people had come who treated her like one of their own.

In the fight just now, Zhu Hongguang and the others were all badly beaten, and Zhu's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law even fainted. None of them had the strength to shout.

Otherwise, they would definitely shout and remind Boss Zhu, "Ahua is a traitor!"

Unfortunately, no one is reminding them now.

So Yu Muhuai nodded repeatedly, pretended to walk up to Ye Xu'an and say something, while the villagers winked at him and Tong Yi with their backs to him.

Then Yu Muhuai turned around and walked up to Boss Zhu.

"Boss! It's settled. I'll handle it, don't worry!"

As he spoke, Yu Muhuai seized the opportunity when no one was paying attention and grabbed Boss Zhu's arm.

Before anyone could see clearly, Zhu, who had just been standing in front of the villagers and leading them, became a hostage in the hands of the village girl opposite them.

Yu Muhuai pinned Zhu Laoda's hands behind his back with one hand and grabbed his neck with the other, holding his lifeline in his grasp.

As she backed away, she said, "You guys better stay away, or I can't guarantee what will happen to the village chief's family."

Yu Muhuai uttered threatening words, yet his face wore an innocent smile.

If it weren't for her swift and decisive movements, the villagers would still think she was that naive little village girl.

"Ahua! Have you gone mad?"

A roar suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Ah Long squeezed to the front of the crowd, glaring angrily at Yu Muhuai, looking like a stern father who thought, "You unfilial son!"

Yu Muhuai's eye twitched.

"Ah Hua! Let go of him! Let go of Young Master Zhu! Otherwise, we're all doomed!"
