The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Don’t Dig Me!

In such a desolate wilderness, shrouded by the groping fog where one could not see one’s own hand, the sound of a girl’s voice came out of nowhere. It was indeed too abrupt, too horrific.

Could it be that a girl was hiding in this environment? That’s clearly impossible!

The brook babbled, and the laughter of the girl in the fog became clearer and more chilling.@@novelbin@@

However, those on the opposite bank were not ordinary people. Whether it was the ancient martial arts grandmasters of the Bian family or the half-step grandmasters, or even the elites of the metaphysical society, after a moment of panic, they all managed to stabilize their emotions.

Click~~Click~~Click~~~

The sound of cocking guns rose and fell, and many people took out their guns.

It was okay on the side of the metaphysical society, with mostly handguns, but the Bian family had not only handguns, but also assault rifles, hand grenades, some even took out propane flamethrowers from big backpacks.

“Ah~ These guys really came to fight, huh?” Huang Xiaolong sneered, full of mockery.

Bian Mudong’s eyes were sharp as electricity, as if he wanted to see through the layers of white fog, and he said murderously, “Who is pretending? Hmph! Those who dare to harm my Bian family are simply courting death!”

After that, Bian Mudong’s True Qi shone brightly. His body burst with the sound of a surging river. This time, in leading his team to collect medicine, they had already lost members before they even reached the Dragon Pond, which was tantamount to his leadership being a failure. Hearing a voice in the fog, he made up his mind and charged like a great bird spreading its wings in anger towards the opposite bank.

This Bian Mudong was indeed a decisive killer.

With him taking the offensive initiative, the others from the Bian family naturally rushed into the fog on the opposite bank.

“Little Long, do we continue to wait here or…?” Ma Chuxia asked.

“Forget it, can’t be bothered to wait, let’s go.” Huang Xiaolong blinked and soared to the opposite bank.

The people behind followed closely.

Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s body burst into golden light, tearing through the fog, shining brightly into the distance. At first glance, Huang Xiaolong’s entire body looked like a statue of Buddha, radiating divine light.

The warm golden light was heartening, making the Metaphysical Society’s people feel their fear receding like a tide.

There was nothing hidden in the fog, and there was no sign of the girl who had just laughed.

After walking about a hundred steps, the dense fog gradually cleared, revealing a large pagoda tree ahead.

This pagoda tree was several meters high, full of dense leaves, exuding a terrifyingly gloomy air.

Under the leadership of Bian Mudong, the people of the Bian family also arrived before the large pagoda tree, all unscathed.

“Cousin Yizhi!” Suddenly, Bian Mudong’s face looked terribly cold, and he bellowed in anger.

Turns out, several bodies were hanging from the pagoda tree.

The bodies were strangled by the flexible tree vines around the necks. The eyes of the dead protruded from their sockets, bloodred, tongues hanging out, almost reaching their chins. A frozen, eerie smile was etched on their faces.

Moreover, what was even more horrifying was that the tree vines squeezing the bodies were covered with pointed barbs, which punctured the throats of the corpses, blood oozing out drop by drop, disappearing quickly into the ground.

These few corpses were nothing more than the half-step grandmasters and the ancient martial arts master Bian Yizhi of the Bian family, who were sent to scout the way. They died without even letting out a scream, strangled by the tree vines.

There were scattered Desert Eagle guns and a hand grenade on the ground under the tree.

“This is outrageous!” Bian Mudong looked around, trying to find the girl who had been laughing in the fog, but there was nobody around, not even in the lush tree canopy overhead. He had carefully examined it and found no trace.

“Who—who was laughing just now?” a member of the Bian family asked, his voice shaking slightly.

“Taoist Master Zhuo, what exactly is happening?” Bian Mudong coldly looked at Zhuo Lengzhou.

“This… this… indeed there’s no ghost… Could it be… it’s this pagoda tree, has it become a tree spirit?” Zhuo Lengzhou’s face was full of doubt.

“Little Long, what exactly is going on?” Ma Chuxia asked curiously, “These people from the Bian family were only just killed, but their ghosts are nowhere to be seen…Generally speaking, when a person just dies, their ghosts stay by the body…”

“Could it be that the pagoda tree really has become a spirit and even devoured the ghosts these people from the Bian family? ” Ma Chuxia had to admit that Zhuo Lengzhou’s theory seemed plausible.

Huang Xiaolong just laughed noncommittally, his eyes scanning the wild grass nearby.

Just then, a member of the Bian family, in a fit of anger, punched towards the large pagoda tree.

This person was an ancient martial arts Grandmaster, with True Qi boiling all over his body. He fumed with anger and struck through the air with a fist of True Qi, slamming it directly into the trunk of the tree.

Bang~~~!!!!!!

Wood chips scattered into the sky, and an enormous cavity was blasted into the coarse trunk of the tree.

At this moment!

Swoosh swoosh~~ swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~ swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~

Thousands of vines clinging to the tree sprang into action, like a chaotic dance of demons, whipping and lassoing towards the men of the Bian Family. The howling sound of air being cut through was like the screaming of thousands of ghosts.

This sudden change took everyone by surprise, but the Bian’s were experienced warriors. Bian Mudong roared loudly, his energy overwhelming. He struck out with both palms, where his palm force passed; the air boiled as if it was boiling water. Heat waves filled the air, and the rushing vines ignited on contact, crackling as they burned.

The other Grandmasters of the Bian Family also responded with True Qi, while the Semi-Grandmasters activated their firearms, the guns spewing out tongues of flames. Pop pop pop – a hail of bullets rained down on the tree.

However, the vines seemed endless and relentless. In a short while, a few of them managed to dodge the defending Bian’s attacks, slithering up like snakes, and coiling around the necks of several Semi-Grandmasters!

The sudden sharp thorns on the vines pierced their throats, blood gushing out wildly!

“Ahh~~~!!!!!!” Screams of agony echoed.

These Semi-Grandmasters screamed in pain, their bodies trembling as if they were sifting chaff. Their eyes bulged, bloodshot, tongues sticking out, turning purplish black!

It was indeed a sight of impending death!

The battle was getting increasingly brutal.

“Little Long, it’s really the tree spirit!” Ma Chuxia was cautious, and said in a low voice. “Should we join the fight?”

“Pfft~~~ What tree spirit? These guys messing with this tree is really stupid.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “Follow me.”

He walked straight to a patch of wild grass, bent down, and pushed the grass aside.

To their surprise, hidden among the grass was an enormously sized wild ginseng!

An initial estimate suggested that this wild ginseng was at least a thousand years old!

This is aginseng that has been aged for a thousand years!

It’s known that precious ginseng is sold by the gram and costs tens of thousands per gram. This thousand-year-old ginseng surely weighs hundreds, or even thousands, of kilograms?

It was unimaginably valuable!

“Hehe~~~” Huang Xiaolong chuckled and reached down to dig up the ginseng.

While the Bian’s were fighting the tree passionately, Huang Xiaolong was leisurely digging for ginseng.

However, as he dug up the ginseng, there was not the typical scent of fresh earth, but instead, a rotten and corpse-like stench that made everyone nearby wrinkle their noses!

Just then

“Don’t dig me up! Don’t dare to dig me up!” A sinister and sharp girl’s voice echoed. Listening carefully, it seemed to be coming from the soil beneath the ginseng!

There’s someone under the ground??

The people in the secret society exchanged looks.

Suddenly!

Swoosh~~ swoosh~~ swoosh~~~~

Apart from the giant tree, the vines from the other nearby trees crazily reached out to Huang Xiaolong!

They were dense and layered, just like a spider web!

“Fight!” Ma Chuxia and Xia Ying cried out in unison!
