Chapter 77 The Woman in the Tree
For some reason, Lu Lie's first reaction when he saw this tree: Perhaps for the ants in this cave, this tree is equivalent to the status of the giant tree in the minds of humans.
He ignored the big tree and continued to search for the source of the female voice.
"A hopeless young man." The old female voice was obviously a little impatient and cursed angrily, "Aren't I right in front of you? Why did you turn your head again?"
Lu Lie was stunned for a moment, and he focused his eyes on this big tree again: Could it be that the big tree in front of him was talking to him?
However, except that the big tree in front of me is particularly large and the branches are full of corpses, it is completely no different from an ordinary big tree.
He asked tentatively: "Can you always be this big tree?"
"The crime should be punished."
The female voice said coldly.
A cold chill rolled towards Lu Lie. He felt the danger coming and he instinctively leaned back. But after all, he was seriously injured and his speed was not as fast as before. The hanging branches above were faster than his retreat. He curled his neck, as if he was hanging, slowly pulling him into the sky.
As Lu Lie's swaying feet moved away from the ground, his breathing gradually became difficult.
"You...fucking old lady..."
Lu Lie rolled his eyes and was about to turn it out. He only said that the other party deliberately led him here to kill him, and he would definitely die. Before he died, all his strength burst out and cursed.
"If you don't repent after death, you will be more sinful than you."
The female voice said coldly again. The giant branches seemed to listen to the female voice. At that moment, two nearby branches shook, "spouted" their bodies, swung over and wrapped around Lu Lie's waist and feet, and put pressure on him.
The corpses all over the tree swelled up quickly, making a rustling sound, as if a gust of wind blew past the uncle covered with leaves.
“%…”
Lu Lie was so painful that he was about to faint. He opened his mouth but did not scold anything.
"Enough, if you continue, this kid will die. After all, there has been a living person who can get here, so don't kill him so easily."
The female voice gave another order. The branches all over the tree were very obedient. They immediately let go and let Lu Lie land on the ground.
The outer shell of the tree bark suddenly changed strangely, like a drop of water falling into a pool, and the water circle swept around layer by layer. In a moment, the wrinkles on the surface of the tree bark finally turned into an old woman's old face, looking down at Lu Lie who was lying on the ground and unable to get up for a long time. Before, the domineering female voices came from the mouth of the old woman.
The old lady who appeared in the tree looked very arrogant, but she looked down at Lu Lie under her feet without further action.
Lu Lie was pinched to death by those strange branches. He sat on the ground and coughed for a long time. His face was covered with tears and snot. Until he took a breath, grabbed the gap, and cursed at the old lady on the tree: "You old lady..."
Countless branches that had originally hung down rolled up again, and they were about to wave them down.
Lu Lie, a hero, did not suffer any loss in front of him, immediately changed his words and said, "Too, too... so beautiful. Oh my God, I have never seen a lady as elegant and dignified as you."
Hearing this, the corpses of the tree began to sway again, as if they were very happy to be praised by Lu Lie.
There was no expression on the old woman's face: "Boy yellow-haired boy, don't be so slick with me here and pretend to be a fool. I'll ask you a few questions. If you find out that you dare to lie to me a little bit, I'll guarantee that you can eat a lot of extreme pain that you can't even imagine."
Lu Lie rolled his strange eyes and thought to himself: The cannibal owl also likes to say this sentence the most. I think you are very compatible with him.
The old woman in the tree had something to ask him, but he was full of doubts about the old woman - why was the old woman in the tree? Is she a human? If it were a human, why would she be locked up in a tree and operate so many branches covered with corpses? Could it be that she was practicing some amazing skills?
If it weren't for humans, what would it be like to kill so many people?
But now the old woman in the tree has a big fist. Now Lu Lie can only answer and not ask questions.
"The first question is, what's your name and where do you come from?"
Lu Lie thought for a moment: "My name is Chao...Lu Lie. I am from Jiangbei on land. Since I was a child, my parents were killed by horse thieves. They wandered around and made their homes all over the world."
Lu Lie had never thought about making up a bunch of nonsense and fooling the old woman. But he finally decided to tell the truth. First, he was not Li Yuan, Yang Wei and others, and there were not many secrets that could be told, so it would be okay to tell his life experience honestly. Second, the old woman's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. Standing in front of her, Lu Lie felt like she was seen through the secrets in her body.
He instinctively felt that if he lie a little in front of this weird old lady, he would easily see through it by the other party, and then he would kill himself without hesitation.
The old woman stared at Lu Lie with cold eyes for a long time, and only nodded with satisfaction after confirming that he had not lie, continuing with the second question:
"Did you come up with a giant tree? How did you find it?"
Lu Lie briefly narrated the adventures of his group and the obstacles encountered on the road to her.
...
The old woman in the tree asked dozens of questions in a row. Finally, she stared at Lu Lie's eyes and asked the last question:
"What dynasty has it reached on land now? Who is sitting in the position of today?"
Lu Lie thought to himself: From the tone of this old woman, it seems that humans are no different, and they must have climbed a tree a long time ago, but they were trapped here and unable to escape. The experience is similar to that of the three heads. Otherwise, why would she care so much about the change of dynasties on land?
But he has never attended a private school since he was a child. Not to mention that he was born in a chaotic era with emperors everywhere, he couldn't even tell the name of the previous dynasty. Didn't the old lady deliberately make things difficult for others?
Fortunately, Lu Lie was not troubled by this. He had been very eloquent since he was a child and roughly described the scene of warlords fighting on land with the old lady. What are the major forces, the names of major city lords, and several important battles, either adapting and reposting the storyteller's words he heard in the teahouse, or relying entirely on his own imagination. Under Lu Lie's verbal talk, a chaotic era of chaos in the chaotic army was vivid and vividly described by him.
The old woman nodded with satisfaction. She originally wanted to roughly understand the historical trajectory of the outside world, but she did not really expect Lu Lie to clearly retell the changes in the world over hundreds of years. You must know that only the old scholars who have been studying hard for ten years can do this kind of thing. It would be strange if such a fool can do it.
