Chapter 297 Ruomu
Just as the Duheng plant was shaking all over and its leaves were flying everywhere, the Huangjing baby was twisting and turning in Xu Zhenfeng's arms.
I watched the little guy's eyeballs move a few times under his eyelids, and finally opened.
He seemed not fully awake yet, staring blankly at Xu Zhenfeng.
After a few breaths, the Huangjing doll suddenly turned over and jumped out of Xu Zhenfeng's arms. When it fell to the ground, its entire body disappeared into the mud.
Then, the Du Heng that was shaking almost madly was suddenly dragged into the soil as if by a force coming from underground.
Xu Zhenfeng and Lou Qianjiang could both vaguely hear a long, desperate roar coming from underground.
Xu Zhenfeng didn't expect that this little guy could be so decisive.
He opened his mouth and looked at Lou Qianjiang.
Lou Qianjiang didn't expect that the cute, fair and tender little baby would devour its own kind with such ruthless means that it didn't even give the Duheng plant a chance to beg for mercy.
That Du Heng plant was still just a monster, unable to change its shape, and therefore unable to move away from where its original body was.
He could only watch helplessly as the Huangjing doll dragged him underground and devoured him.
"This...Zhenfeng, your son is really extraordinary."
Lou Qianjiang wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, pulled the corners of his mouth, forced a smile, and said: "He looked harmless, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel."
Xu Zhenfeng glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, "If you were in his situation, you would be no different from him."
"That's right, your own life is more important. I made a mistake."
Lou Qianjiang nodded quickly.
They, the man and the demon, waited by the Moon-Watching Lake for a while, and the head of the Huangjing doll popped out of the ground again.
The little guy's face now looks energetic, with a faint red glow on his cheeks.
He looked up at Xu Zhenfeng and asked with joy, "Dad, what is this place? It's exactly our Huang Jing's hometown.
We Huangjing feel a lot of magical herbs, Dad, wait a minute, we Huangjing will go and take some more tonic."
After he finished speaking a few words, his head sank and he sank into the ground again.
Before Xu Zhenfeng could say anything, the guy's breath suddenly disappeared.
Lou Qianjiang's face changed drastically. "Zhenfeng, you have to hold your son back. No one discovered that the Duheng plant had turned into a monster, so it was not recorded in the book. But the other herbs that turned into monsters are all recorded in my sect."
Xu Zhenfeng also had a headache after hearing this. He didn't want others to find out that Huangjing Doll was a herbal monster, but he also wanted Huangjing Doll to take this opportunity to develop rapidly.
He scratched the back of his head and continued to call out "Huangjing baby" loudly.
"Son, come out, you can't mess around, come out quickly, daddy has something to tell you, son?"
After he shouted several times, the voice of Huangjingwawa came from a distance.
"Dad, wait a minute, our Huangjing will be ready soon."
When Lou Qianjiang heard the direction from which the Huangjing doll's voice came, his face turned even paler and he ran towards the direction from which the Huangjing doll's voice came.
While running, he shouted, "Huang Jing, you must not move that Ruo Mu. If you move it, something bad will happen."
Xu Zhenfeng followed Lou Qianjiang closely, although he didn't know what kind of magical tree the Ruomu he was talking about was.
But he also knew that the so-called Ruomu was probably extremely valued by the entire Xuantian Sect.
Before they ran to the place where the Huangjing doll made the sound at first, another Huangjing doll's head popped out from the ground behind them.
"Why can't that Ruomu move?"
The little thing's babyish voice came from behind them.
Xu Zhenfeng and Lou Qianjiang turned around again and saw his head sticking out of the ground with a trace of green liquid at the corner of his mouth.
Huangjing doll wiped the corner of his mouth with his fingers, then put the drink back into his mouth and sipped it.
"That Ruomu tastes much better than Duheng."
Seeing this, Lou Qianjiang knew that things were going badly. He sat down on the ground dejectedly and spread his hands.
"It's over. The sect master specially took care of that Ruomu and made sure it became a demon."
After hearing what Lou Qianjiang said, Huangjingwawa rolled his eyes at him, turned his head to look in the other direction of the valley, and his head was about to sink into the ground again.
Xu Zhenfeng hurried forward, grabbed his long pigtail, and pulled him out of the ground.
"Stop eating recklessly. If we cause serious trouble, neither my father nor I will be able to leave Xuantian Sect."
Huang Jingwawa was originally the one who listened to Xu Zhenfeng the most, but at this time he became unusually reluctant.
He twisted his body in Xu Zhenfeng's arms, "We don't want to finish the Huangjing, can we leave half of it?"
When Lou Qianjiang heard Huang Jingwa's words about leaving half, he looked at the little fellow with a hint of hope in his eyes and asked, "Did you leave half of the Ruo Mu as well? Did you swallow it all?"
Huang Jing Wa Wa tilted his head and looked at him, "Why do you want to keep half of it? It's still there in good condition."
Lou Qianjiang suddenly jumped up and ran forward.
Xu Zhenfeng followed behind holding Huang Jing.
Soon you will come to a tall tree with round green leaves and colorful flowers.
Lou Qianjiang looked up at the giant tree. It looked no different from before, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt something was wrong.
This Ruomu tree seemed to have lost its spirit and charm, just like an ordinary flowering tree.
Xu Zhenfeng also looked at the tree. It had a beautiful shape and could bloom colorful flowers.
Lou Qianjiang walked around Ruomu, looked at the Huangjing doll in confusion and said, "What did you do to it? It looks completely different now."
Huang Jing baby wiped the corner of his mouth with his little hand again, "This Ruomu already has the Chaos Essence, I swallowed its essence.
But it will grow again in the future, so you don’t have to worry. In a few hundred years, we will come back.”
Lou Qianjiang opened his eyes wide, "With the Chaos Essence, doesn't that mean he is already a half-step demon body?"
Huang Jing Wa nodded, "In another hundred or eighty years, it should be able to become a demon."
Lou Qianjiang was so angry that he kept stamping his feet.
"You... you little thing, it's the same kind as you. If it was just a monster, it would be fine, but it's already a half-step demon body, how could you be so cruel?"
Huang Jingwawa saw that he was angry and his face became strange.
"Do you really know it's Ruomu?"
"How come I don't know it's a Ruo Mu? I often practiced under this tree when I was a kid. Who in the entire Xuantian Sect doesn't know it's a Ruo Mu?"
Lou Qianjiang answered unhappily.
Huangjing doll's expression became even weirder.
He tilted his little head to look at Lou Qianjiang, as if there was something about him that he couldn't understand.
"Do you humans have the means to control Ruomu after she becomes a demon?"
Lou Qianjiang was stunned. "The means to check and balance Ruomu after she becomes a demon? What do you mean by this, little guy?"
