Chapter 251: The Ghost-Faced Tree Demon, Promoted to Imperial Academy, New Fate Beast
Lu Ming was safe, but the murderous monkey was in trouble.
As the golden light lit up, the mourning stick, soul-locking chain, and deadly red silk exploded at the same time.
"squeak"
These murderous monkeys screamed and flew backwards.
"boom"
They crashed into the surrounding tree trunks and slid to the ground, black blood gushing out of their mouths, and they fell to the ground, unable to get up.
The sudden change frightened the remaining few murderous monkeys so much that they stopped attacking for a moment.
"Dragon Fist. Dragon Fury"
"Tiger Fist. Tiger Kill"
"Bear Fist. Bear Explosion"
Lu Ming quickly punched out and attacked the remaining few life-seeking monsters.
He didn't dare to be careless again. The siege by the demon monkeys just now almost led to an accident. If it weren't for the Soul Refining Cauldron, Lu Ming might have died!
"boom"
As the powerful punch was thrown, the life-seeking monkeys were instantly blown to pieces, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Seeing that the murderous monkey was completely dead, Lu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, it was so dangerous just now."
Before he could catch his breath, the ground suddenly cracked and a ghost hand several meters in size attacked Lu Ming.
Lu Ming's eyes flashed coldly: "Get lost."
The powerful ghost power exploded, shattering the ghost hand that was approaching.
Lu Ming looked around but found no trace of the attacker, which made him frown slightly.
"Double pupils, open"
As soon as his pupils opened, the whole world in Lu Ming's eyes changed, and he found countless black air appearing around him.
These black gases are invisible under normal circumstances, but under the double pupils, these black gases can be seen nowhere.
Following the black air, Lu Ming quickly found the source.
"Got you!"
About 200 meters away from Lu Ming, there is a towering ancient tree.
The whole tree was a rare black-gray color, covered with countless ghost faces, and looked eerie and scary.
All the black air came from this tree, and the attack just now was also caused by the other party.
When he saw the tree, Lu Ming had an idea in his mind, and he remembered something that A Le mentioned when he introduced the soul-demanding monkey.
"When you encounter a soul-stealing demon monkey, you must be careful. Not only be careful of the soul-stealing demon monkey, but also be careful of its companion beast, the ghost-faced tree demon."
"Ghost-faced tree monster, a dark plant monster. This kind of monster is often more difficult to deal with than the soul-demanding monkey."
Lu Ming touched his chin and said, "Could this be the ghost-faced tree demon?"
"Whether it is or not, it must die!"
When Lu Ming saw the ghost-faced tree demon, murderous aura surged all over his body.
Lu Ming wanted to kill it not only because of the previous attack, but also because Lu Ming discovered that this ghost-faced tree demon actually had a red life seal!
When Lu Ming clenched his fists and prepared to attack, the ghost-faced tree demon took the lead in attacking.
It was born and died with the murderous monkey, and they had depended on each other for countless years. Now, the murderous monkey was killed by Lu Ming, and it hated Lu Ming very much in its heart.
The ground cracked, and this time it was not the ghost hands that were more urgent, but thick tree roots that attacked.
These tree roots were as flexible as snakes and coiled around Lu Ming.
"Bear Fist. Bear Explosion"
Lu Ming raised his hand and threw a powerful punch. The terrifying force of the punch shattered all the nearby tree roots.
Although these tree roots were solved, Lu Ming's crisis was not resolved.
Just now, more tree roots emerged from the ground.
Looking around, with the ghost-faced tree monster as the center, the entire area within 200 meters is occupied by dense tree roots.
Lu Ming had just dealt with one wave of tree roots when more roots came.
These tree roots did not attack randomly at once, but were divided into several groups by the ghost-faced tree demon and launched attacks in waves.
Lu Ming's mouth curled up: "You want to kill me just like that? You underestimate me too much!"
He glanced at the tree roots and sneered, "The battle will be over in half a minute!"
Next, Lu Ming attacked with his fists, destroying all the attacking tree roots.
But soon Lu Ming discovered something was wrong.
"What's going on? The tree roots haven't decreased?"
Just now, Lu Ming threw at least a hundred punches, destroying countless tree roots.
But when he looked up just now, he suddenly discovered that the ghost-faced tree monster still had the same number of roots as before!
Lu Ming frowned slightly: "There's something strange about this tree root!"
Next, when Lu Ming attacked the tree roots, he began to observe with his pupils, trying to see what was going on.
At first, Lu Ming thought that the other party was using illusion to confuse him, but after observing for a while, he found that the tree roots in front of him were all real.
Lu Ming frowned and continued to observe, and soon he found a clue.
Every time Lu Ming destroyed a batch of tree roots, new roots would emerge from the ground to replenish the number.
This discovery made Lu Ming frown even more.
"No wonder Ah Le said that the Ghost Face Tree Monster is extremely difficult to deal with. It turns out that its roots are inexhaustible!"
Are the roots of the Ghost Face Tree Demon really inexhaustible? Of course that's impossible.
In fact, Lu Ming did not notice that every time a new batch of tree roots appeared, one of the ghost faces on the ghost-faced tree monster would disappear.
Unknowingly, half of the ghost face on the ghost-faced tree demon had disappeared. If Lu Ming continued like this, he could easily kill it.
However, Lu Ming no longer intends to do so. He wants to end the battle directly.
With a tap of his feet, Lu Ming quickly rose into the air.
The ghost-faced demon tree thought Lu Ming was scared and wanted to escape, so it immediately attacked him.
Countless tree roots quickly extended and chased, trying to stop Lu Ming.
Lu Ming ignored the pursuit and swung out with both fists at the same time.
"Dragon Fist. Dragon Fury"
"Tiger Fist. Tiger Kill"
"Double fists attack. Fight between dragon and tiger"
The two fist forces merged into a stronger attack that directly hit the ghost-faced tree monster's body.
The ghost-faced tree demon only realized Lu Ming's intention at this time, and hurriedly mobilized the tree roots to form a defense in front of it.
Almost instantly, a five-meter-thick wooden wall made of tree roots was formed.
But all this was in vain in the face of Lu Ming's attack.
The wooden wall was destroyed the moment the fist force met its target, like paper.
As the ghost-faced tree demon was shocked, all the force of the fist penetrated into its body.
"boom"
With a huge explosion, the entire ghost-faced tree turned into powder.
When everything disappeared, only a ball of light emitting red light remained on the scene, and inside it was the key to Lu Ming's promotion to the Hanlin realm, the red life seal!
Lu Ming quickly stepped forward and put the red life seal into the life book.
As the fortune book turned red, it also marked that Lu Ming officially became a 51st-level Hanlin.
Looking at the red book of destiny floating in front of him, his face was full of smiles.
"This way, I can get a new beast."
As soon as Lu Ming thought about it, all ten beasts of life were summoned.
Three-eyed monkey, magic bat, gargoyle, silver-backed mantis, intoxicating bee, blood-sucking vine, box monster, double-eyed evil eye, purple-striped Pluto scorpion, iron spear spider
Lu Ming waved his hand casually, and a pile of soul crystals appeared in front of the beasts.
"These are all yours, enjoy them."
After receiving Lu Ming's order, all the life beasts quickly pounced on the soul crystal and devoured it voraciously.
Every beast was extremely happy and kept making noises, as if speaking.
"Soul crystals are delicious, so crunchy!"
Lu Ming took out a lot of soul crystals this time, piled up into a small hill.
Such a large number of soul crystals were a fatal temptation to the monsters, and the monsters in the distance instantly became agitated.
Originally, they were ready to retreat when they saw that the Ghost-faced Tree Demon was no match for Lu Ming, but now with so many soul crystals in front of them, the demons didn't want to leave anymore.
The monsters began to slowly approach Lu Ming, and Lu Ming, who noticed all this, showed an evil smile on his face.
He took out so many soul crystals not only to upgrade the level of his life beast, but also to attract monsters to attack.
Lu Ming secretly clenched his fists: "I still need two life beasts. Where can I find life beasts after you leave?"
A few minutes later, the monsters were only a hundred meters away from Lu Ming. At this moment, they could no longer control their desire for soul crystals and launched a collective attack.
"Roar"
The monsters roared and rushed towards the soul crystal.
Upon seeing this, the three-eyed monkeys immediately launched a counterattack.
You have to know that these soul crystals were given to them by Lu Ming. Now the monsters want to snatch them away, how could they agree?
After a long battle, these ten beasts cooperated very well and formed an effective blockade in an instant.
Even so, the pressure of the blockade by the life beasts was enormous. After all, there were as many as a hundred monsters participating in the attack, including some level 60 or 70 monsters.
In just half a minute, the life beasts' defenses could no longer hold and were broken through by the monsters.
Dozens of monsters rushed towards the soul crystal as soon as they broke through the blockade. Their eyes were shining, as if whoever rushed over first would get the soul crystal.
But these fateful beasts forgot one person, the one they should not forget!
Among this group of monsters, the one rushing in the front was a red-eyed ferocious cat, a small but quite ferocious cat monster.
The fire of desire burned in those red eyes, rushing towards the soul crystal like a gust of wind.
"I'm the fastest, these soul crystals are mine."
When the red-eyed caracal rushed to the soul crystal, its mouth was already wide open and it bit the soul crystal.
The red-eyed carnival cat was filled with joy, knowing that in the next second it would be able to enjoy the pleasure of power brought by the soul crystal.
But when it was only one centimeter away from the soul crystal, a pair of big hands grabbed the back of its neck.
"Meow"
The red-eyed caracal roared, rage rising in its heart, and it vowed to eat alive anyone who tried to stop it.
But when it saw clearly who was trying to stop it, the anger in its heart was instantly extinguished, and was replaced by extreme panic.
Because it discovered that the one who caught it was the terrifying human who had blown the ghost-faced tree demon to pieces with one punch.
Just as it was about to beg for mercy, it suddenly felt a sense of suffocation. The next moment, its eyes turned black and it was reincarnated.
Lu Ming casually threw away the body of the red-eyed ferocious cat and looked at the many monsters rushing towards him with a grim smile on his face.
"Everyone is welcome to die!"
As he spoke, he threw a punch filled with a massive amount of ghost power.
"Leopard Fist. Thunder Sound"
A punch was thrown out, and as the powerful fist force exploded, a shocking thunder sounded.
The huge thunder frightened many monsters and made them lose all their will to resist. They all stood still and waited for death.
"boom"
The powerful punch tore the monsters apart.
With just this one strike, Lu Ming killed dozens of monsters that rushed over.
Lu Ming's terrifying attack made the monsters that wanted to rush over suddenly wake up, and they all fled.
Soul crystals are important, but if you lose your life, what’s the point of keeping it!
"I want to leave, but there's no way!"
Lu Ming raised his hands: "Control the crane and capture the dragon"
A powerful suction force immediately erupted between his hands, and the fleeing beasts instantly felt themselves being pulled back by a force.
Now they were even more panicked and tried desperately to break free and escape.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they could not escape control and their bodies kept moving closer to Lu Ming.
Seeing this, the three-eyed monkey and other beasts of destiny would naturally not give up such a good opportunity, and they launched attacks on these monsters that had almost no power to resist.
"woo"
The three-eyed monkey swung the iron rod around and then smashed it down hard.
"puff"
A red-spotted jackal was killed instantly by a headshot.
Compared to the bloody killing of the three-eyed monkey, the killing of the silver-backed mantis is simple and clear.
With a swing of the sword, the Blue Flame Ice Rabbit's head was removed.
The performances of other life beasts were also good, among which the blood-sucking vine was the most outstanding.
Its vines danced all over its body, attaching themselves to the bodies of various monsters, and then began to draw blood.
"Gudong, gudong"
The blood of the monsters was quickly sucked away by the vampire vines. In just one minute, the monsters were sucked into mummies.
Thirty monsters were killed in just one minute. This killing speed is unparalleled.
Two minutes later, the battlefield fell silent.
Kill all the monsters!
Lu Ming scanned the entire battlefield but did not find any beast soul dropped, which made his face fall.
"The drop probability is one in ten, but even one percent is not enough for me!"
"Ugh"
Just as Lu Ming was sighing, a fire sparrow corpse fell from the sky, and at the same time, the magic bat also fell from the sky.
Fire Sparrow, a relatively common fire-type monster.
Lu Ming didn't care at first, but soon he was attracted to it.
To be precise, what attracted Lu Ming was the beast soul rising from the fire sparrow's corpse.
Looking at the glowing beast soul, a smile finally appeared on Lu Ming's face.
"It's the beast soul, great."
Lu Ming rushed over, immediately summoned the Book of Life, and took away the beast soul.
Although the Fire Sparrow is not a powerful life beast, Lu Ming is confident that under his cultivation, it will evolve into a powerful life beast.
With a thought, the Fire Sparrow was summoned.
The palm-sized firefly flew to Lu Ming's shoulder and rubbed his cheek with its furry head.
Lu Ming sensed it and found that the Fire Sparrow now only had one means of attack, fireball attack.
Although the attack method is simple, the power of the fireball is not small.
Lu Ming pointed at the soul crystal on the ground and said, "Go and eat it. I look forward to your growth."
Upon hearing this, the fire sparrow immediately flew to the pile of soul crystals and began to peck at them.
Seeing this, the other life beasts also came over and continued to absorb the soul crystals.
In a short while, with the blessing of soul crystals, the levels of the life beasts were upgraded to 51, and their strength was greatly enhanced.
Looking at the improved strength of the beasts, Lu Ming was in a good mood, as it meant that his strength had increased again.
With a wave of his hand, he recalled all the beasts of destiny into the book of destiny, leaving only the Fire Sparrow itself.
Because it is a newly acquired life beast, the Fire Sparrow still needs some time to absorb the soul crystal.
With the blessing of massive soul crystals, the Fire Sparrow's level increased rapidly. In a short time, it was promoted to level 30 and ushered in its first evolution.
A red flame suddenly burst out from the fire sparrow that was pecking at the soul crystal, and the flame quickly enveloped the fire sparrow.
When the flames disappear, the evolution of the firefly is also over.
What now appeared before Lu Ming was a firefinch the size of a pheasant.
No! It should be called Flamingo now!
