Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 445 [Tree Heart] 14

"Mountain God bless you..."

As the peasant woman spoke in a trembling voice, Feng Lan keenly felt the body tremble slightly, and soon the ripples disappeared.

At the same time, an extremely thin force of faith floated from the peasant woman's body and stubbornly floated to Feng Lan.

Feng Lan used her mental power to draw this strand of faith power over to her. She felt it carefully, and looking at this strand of pure white faith power, Feng Lan tentatively absorbed it.

"Mountain God, please help us kill those devils! I am willing to work like a slave for the rest of my life to repay you!"

A mournful and resolute prayer sounded in his ears. After this strand of faith power, which was so weak that it could not be any weaker, entered his body, it naturally followed the circulation of Feng Lan and merged with the spiritual power and moonlight. It seemed that there was no big difference between them.

After feeling it carefully, Feng Lan didn't feel any difference. He didn't know if it was because the amount was too small or if the power of faith was just useless.

Saving one person is saving the same as saving several people. Besides, the villagers around Huicheng who heard the noise almost all fled to the mountains in unison. Although the locations of each village were different, with the invaders chasing and deliberately surrounding them, the villagers who wanted to enter the mountains would inevitably pass by the hill where Feng Lan was.

Before, the distance was far and her spiritual power was limited, so she couldn't reach him.

But as long as they successfully escape to the mountain where Feng Lan is, even if they just reach the foot of the mountain, Feng Lan will try his best to lend a helping hand.

But in this way, people who run in from behind will inevitably see the hideous corpses of various people who died in accidents in front of them.

There were more and more corpses piled up at the foot of the mountain. Some people were scared, some were confused, and some were horrified.

Among them, the most terrifying are the invaders who came here in pursuit of prey.

"Why are there so many bodies of our people here? Who killed them?"

The numerous corpses made people feel uneasy, and the hunting dogs seemed to sense something. Even after hearing the order, they refused to go up the mountain, and retreated with their tails between their legs and whimpering.

"What's on the mountain?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's frightened by wild animals like bears or wolves."

Looking at the dense corpses of his companions in the woods, the officer commanding the encirclement finally gave the order to retreat.

"Temporarily cordon this area off and prevent soldiers from approaching. Pick out some useless people from among those people and go in to see the situation."

"Hi!"

"Our precious soldiers from the Foot Basin Nation died here for no apparent reason. After investigating, remember to blow up this mountain and avenge the heroic spirits of the Empire."

"Hi!"

The densely packed corpses had shed a lot of blood, which seeped into the soil, soaked into the tree roots, and the smell of blood permeated the air.

Because they didn't know what had caused all this in the mountains, those people didn't come to collect the bodies, but left them lying at the foot of the mountain.

These naturally bloody foods soon attracted some demons and ghosts following the team.

"Woo~"

"Sob——"

"whee……"

"Boom...boom..."

A ghostly shadow appeared at the foot of the mountain accompanied by a whimpering sound. A strange evil wind blew. It was only evening, and the sky was as dark as midnight. A strange red light filled the sky.

The soldiers on duty here turned a blind eye, as if they did not hear the strange sounds or see the strange celestial phenomena at the moment.

The blood-red sky reflected on the expressionless faces of these soldiers, as if the underworld had poured into the world.

There were rustling sounds coming from the woods, but no one looked because just a few meters away from them lay their compatriots who had died mysteriously.

Although the sound sounded like something was tearing open the skin of the corpses, drinking their blood, eating their flesh, and chewing their bones.

"Snapped!"

"what--"

There were sounds of whipping and tiny screams of pain.

In Feng Lan's eyes, these monsters and ghosts have various appearances, but they can be summed up in one word: ugly. To add two more words, they are very ugly, disgusting, and terrifying.

Feng Lan condensed a little spiritual power, turned it into air roots and whipped these monsters hard. Every time he hit them, some black air would overflow from their bodies and their entire bodies would shrink.

There are so many monsters and ghosts that they are impossible to count. The ones rushing in the front are the strongest and the largest, and they are also the first to eat human flesh.

Feng Lan didn't have much spiritual power, so when her spiritual power was used up, she used her mental power to draw. After confirming that she could also draw these monsters with her mind, she simply used her mental power to draw them. Although the number was small, Feng Lan's mental power was more inexhaustible than her spiritual power!

The big demons would become transparent after just a few whips, while the small ones would turn into a wisp of green smoke and disappear after just one or two whips.

As she watched, Feng Lan remembered her own golden light of merit. She had also learned the technique of utilizing the golden light of merit in the Tianxing Continent. After attaching the golden light of merit to her mental power, Feng Lan whipped it again, and the effect was more than ten times better than before!

Just by the golden light of merit, those demons and ghosts began to smoke and retreat. Feng Lan did not let go of any of the demons and ghosts with strong blood energy. If they tried to leave, she would pull them back. Feng Lan let go of those with light blood energy who had not eaten much human flesh.

She didn't let these demons and ghosts go, but the big ghosts had accumulated enough blood and evil spirits and could leave the army at any time. They would not necessarily persecute these soldiers full of evil spirits. Instead, they would kill ordinary people who had no evil spirits and were not cruel. However, the demons and ghosts with little ability would continue to follow these invaders, eroding their bodies and wearing down their spirits.

In simple terms, these demons and ghosts bully the weak and fear the strong.

As the evil spirits scattered and left, the gloomy sky became much brighter and the red in the sky disappeared.

Only a closer look would reveal the body, covered in dents and lacking flesh and blood.

However, the dissipated demons and ghosts did not truly disappear. In other words, the energy purified by the wind and mist returned to heaven and earth in a way that was imperceptible to the naked eye and mind.

Commonly known as being recovered and replenished by the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, in return, Feng Lan also had a few more golden lights of merit on her body. These golden lights were not on her body, but fell on the banyan tree in the dark. Feng Lan's cultivation fluctuated, and in the eyes of Liuqi looking at the son of destiny, she broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

A process as simple as eating and drinking water made Liu Qi grimace in jealousy and scream.

"You, you, you—tell me the truth, were you hiding your cultivation level to deceive me all along? How is it possible that you have awakened your mind and achieved breakthroughs so quickly in such a short period of time? It's even more terrifying than the speed at which humans achieve breakthroughs through cultivation!"

If a human being breaks through from the first level to the fourth level of Qi Refining within a year, Liuqi can still barely accept it. After all, humans can only live for about a hundred years at most. Their short lifespan means that they cultivate faster than monsters.

But this is a banyan tree spirit! A plant spirit that matures even slower than animals! Is that right? Shouldn't it take a plant spirit a hundred years to reach a new level?

Liuqi's frustrated body was hanging upside down on the tree. If he had a heart for Taoism, then his heart for Taoism should have been shattered just now (OTO).
