Monk Ban Chi and the rest felt their scalps crawl. As they ran, they saw the mountain trembling violently. Countless rocks flew into the air and pitch black tentacles crawled out from the rocks. Those were the roots of Lonely Mountain Ridge Root Demon.
Heavenly Devil Cult had used Demon Subduing Black Stone Tablets to suppress her roots. There were so many black stone tablets beside the lake and around the withered tree, suppressing her head.
At this moment, the Demon Subduing Black Stone Tablet at the head had been pushed down by Monk Ban Chi and the rest, allowing this root demon to unleash her power. It was simply terrifying, causing the mountains to tremble endlessly.
When she unleashed her power, the stone tablets suppressing her roots flew up and were shattered by her terrifying power!
"How can an ordinary tree demon have such power?"
Monk Ban Chi cried out. "Was this tree demon purposely suppressed here by Heavenly Devil Cult to harm people?"
Suddenly, a few thick roots swept towards them. In front of the roots hung beautiful women who giggled. "Want to leave? You guys have saved me, but I still haven't repaid you guys. Why don't you stay and become one with me? "
Qiu Yue waved her sleeves, and countless insects flew out to pounce on the roots. These insects swelled up in the wind and became three yards long. They pounced on the roots and bit down, but their sharp teeth were all broken, so they couldn't bite down at all.
Qiu Yue jumped in shock. She saw tiny roots growing out from the navels of the women hanging on the roots and piercing through the gu insects. In an instant, only their shells were left, and the flesh and blood inside had all vanished.
"The gu insects I raise can even bite through spirit weapons. These roots are even harder than spirit weapons!" Qiu Yue cried out.
A root came behind them, and Yuan Shan leaped up with a sword pellet in his hand. He jumped up and stabbed, piercing through the woman on the root. The sharp sword spun and sliced off her head.
The woman's head fell to the ground and immediately withered, turning into a head-shaped piece of black charcoal. Meanwhile, the headless woman on the root grew another head.
Yuan Shan was also shocked. He wanted to cut off the root, but suddenly, another root pierced through his back like lightning and pierced into his body.
Yuan Shan hurriedly activated his sword pill and was about to sever the roots on his back when his body suddenly shriveled up. Instantly, his flesh and blood vanished, leaving behind only his skin.
The others had originally planned to rescue him, but when they saw the situation, they quickly ran out of the canyon. Behind them, countless black tentacles were waving in the sky above the Lonely Mountain Ridge. The roots climbed up the mountain peaks on both sides and lifted up the real body underground.
It was a huge object that looked like a ball of thread, and there were countless roots hanging down from it. The movement of this huge object was too big, and it attracted the attention of the Mysterious Pearl Crossbows on both sides of the mountain. The Mysterious Pearl Crossbow sensed the monster's aura and automatically loaded its bowstring. Two incomparably thick arrow lights shot out from the sky and hit the Lonely Mountain Ridge Root Demon that was like a big black ball.
The monster let out a shrill scream, as if there were countless voices stacked together, shaking the surrounding mountains and causing avalanches.
Long Jiaonan and the rest were almost caught up by those tentacles. Luckily, the attack of the Mysterious Pearl Crossbow caused the demon to feel pain and retract its tentacles, allowing them to escape this calamity.
"These Mysterious Pearl Crossbows can even kill celestials, so they will definitely be able to kill this demon!"
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the Lonely Mountain Ridge Root Demon waved its tentacles and swept towards the Mysterious Pearl Crossbows on the mountain peak. With a loud bang, one of the Mysterious Pearl Crossbows was smashed into smithereens, and a huge bronze arm tumbled down the mountain.
Next, the Mysterious Pearl Crossbow on the other mountain peak was also shattered by the Lonely Mountain Ridge Root Demon.
The faces of Long Jiaonan and the rest turned ashen, and they immediately jumped onto the back of the huge red snake that Long Jiaonan had reared. They fled forward frantically and finally escaped from Lonely Mountain Ridge. When they turned back to look, they saw countless roots in the canyon crawling toward them like black pythons. Heavy rolling sounds came from the valley.
It was obvious that the terrifying root demon's body was too big and heavy, so it couldn't fly. It could only rely on its roots to climb up the cliff and pull its huge body forward.
This monster was too huge, and when it moved, its body would collide with the mountains on both sides, causing them to shake.
"Heavenly Devil Cult is truly sinful, raising such a huge monster to harm people!"
It was unknown whether Monk Ban Chi was trembling from anger or fear, but he said angrily, "How many people did they kill to raise this monster to such a level?! My abilities are too shallow, so I can't subdue the devil and defend the path! "
Everyone knew that he felt guilty for releasing the monster, so he pushed the blame to Heavenly Devil Cult. No one pointed it out and just said, "This monster was lured to Great Ruins by us, but it didn't trample on the people of Yankang. It's considered a fortunate thing."
"The people in Great Ruins are all abandoned people and those of the evil path who were forced into a corner. For this monster to stir up trouble in Great Ruins, it can be considered as getting rid of the devil and defending the path."
Monk Ban Chi's expression softened, and he said, "Heavenly Devil Cult Master purposely made a ruckus to lure us into the valley, so he probably wanted to borrow the hands of this monster to harm us. Heaven helps the worthy, so we managed to escape. He must be very disappointed, right? "
Just as he said that, the huge body of the Lonely Mountain Ridge Root Demon suddenly squeezed out of the canyon and tumbled down from above. Countless roots danced endlessly.
Everyone immediately rose into the sky, and Scholar Lan Yu said solemnly, "This monster can't fly, so everyone can be at ease …"
At that moment, a bird cry rang out, and a gust of wind blew in their faces. A huge golden-winged bird flew over at lightning speed and grabbed Lan Yu's shoulders with its claws, carrying him away.
Scholar Lan Yu felt pain in his shoulders as his left and right shoulder blades were pierced by the bird's claws. He was about to execute his divine art to save himself when the huge golden-winged bird suddenly lowered its head and pecked him on the head with its beak, shattering it into pieces. It then carried his headless body into the depths of the vast forest.
They had arrived at Great Ruins.
It was a wild and lawless place.
