Chapter 68 Give Me a Quick Death?

He needed to verify a fact, the fact about the locust tree.

"There are too many escorts during the day, let's wait until night." Xu Bai thought.

...

From the time Wuhua left until night, Xu Bai did not leave the escort agency.

It was not until nightfall that the escorts left one after another and returned to their homes, and Xu Bai walked out of the house.

Tonight is different from other nights. There is no moonlight tonight. The sky is dark and no light can be seen.

Xu Bai carried an oil lamp in one hand, a hoe in the other hand, and a ghost-head knife on his waist. He walked out of the house and came directly under the locust tree.

During the day, he had been thinking that under the dual temptation of the Buddhist scriptures and the ancient tree with human faces, he felt that he could do business.

Especially the ancient tree with human faces, he was very greedy for the progress bar.

Helping Wuhua is equivalent to helping himself, after all, it is equivalent to having two more helpers.

But one question must be determined in advance, whether Wuhua's words are true or false, and whether this locust tree is caused by the ancient tree with human faces.

To verify the truth, just dig up the locust tree to verify what Wuhua said.

The people of Jisheng Sect buried people under the tree after killing them, so there should be corpses under the tree.

There were too many people during the day, so it was not suitable for operation. Now it was night, which happened to be the best time to operate.

Coincidentally, the farm tools taken from the blacksmith were just put to use now.

Xu Bai put the oil lamp on the ground, holding the hoe in both hands, looking at the lonely locust tree in front of him, raised the hoe without hesitation, and started digging the ground.

With the addition of true energy, the speed was significantly improved. Not long after, he had thrown a deep pit under the locust tree.

Xu Bai threw the hoe aside. He seemed to have dug something just now. He brought the oil lamp closer and saw the situation under the tree clearly.

Under the soil were the roots of the tree, and in the roots there was a skeleton wearing red clothes, entangled by the roots of the locust tree.

It has been a long time since the burial, and the flesh and blood on the bones have long disappeared, leaving only the skeleton.

Judging from the size of the skeleton, it is a woman's skeleton. Xu Bai unconsciously thought of the strange red yarn he encountered before.

This red dress happens to correspond to the red yarn.

"There is really a skeleton buried. It seems that Wuhua is right. This business really needs to be done."

When the return exceeds the risk too much, it is difficult to refuse.

Xu Bai thinks that the Buddhist scripture is nothing, but the progress bar of the ancient tree with human face is the main thing. If he can observe it a few more times, the harvest will be rich.

Now it is very late. He pondered for a moment, first buried the locust tree, and then planned to rush to Liu Mansion now to discuss this matter with Wuhua and others.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai prepared to take the hoe and oil lamp back to the room, but he didn't expect that at this time, he heard a strange cry.

"Gu~"

This sound is the sound of a bird, just like an owl.

In the previous life, if this sound was translated into words, it would have a very special meaning, which would be creepy.

For example... online novels.

If the author of an online novel typed a "Gu" in the post, there would be a lot of blades.

Xu Bai raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

On the wall of the escort agency, there stood a masked man in black clothes, and on the shoulder of the black masked man sat a black eagle.

At this moment, the masked man looked at him with cold eyes and did not speak.

Xu Bai also looked at the masked man, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression did not change at all.

After a while, the masked man stretched out his left hand.

The black eagle on the shoulder flapped its wings and landed on the left arm of the masked man, staring at Xu Bai.

Those eyes seemed to have human nature, especially with the scene at the moment, which made people's scalps numb.

"Jisheng Sect?" Xu Bai pulled out the ghost-head knife from his waist, gently rubbed the back of the knife with his fingers, and his eyes gradually became playful.

"I said it was time. Why didn't anything happen here? It turns out there is a master here." The masked man said hoarsely: "You ruined my Jisheng Sect's plan. I will choose a way for you to die."

"Oh? Choose a way for me to die?" Xu Bai touched his chin: "Since I started to get involved in this business, I have never heard anyone say this to me."

The masked man flipped over from the wall and landed on the ground: "You can try it today."

As he said that, he took a step forward.

The black eagle in his left hand suddenly flew up and rushed towards Xu Bai. The eyes were cruel and violent, as if he wanted to tear the person in front of him into pieces.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly.

This black eagle was unusual. It seemed that it dared to rush forward even when facing tigers and lions.

There were too many ways in the world, and he didn't understand the specific abilities of this masked man, but this did not prevent him from taking action.

He stepped to the side with his right foot, and at the same time turned his wrist, and the ghost-head knife swept from bottom to top.

"Swish!"

The black eagle was split into two.

But the imagined blood was not spilled. The black eagle that was split into two suddenly turned into black mist and attacked Xu Bai.

In the black fog, with all kinds of roars and howls, faces emerged in the black fog. Although the facial features could not be seen clearly, they could be heard clearly with the screams of pain.

Xu Bai had been on guard for a long time. There was no word "contempt" in his dictionary. When the black fog attacked, he slightly misstepped his feet, used the Four Xun body skills, and moved to the left like a ghost.

But the black fog followed him like a shadow, like a thorn in the bone, not only blocking the distance between Xu Bai and the masked man, but also constantly chasing him.

"So he thought I was a warrior and wanted to keep a distance from me."

Xu Bai saw that the man in black was always unwilling to move forward, but just operated the black fog in front of him to attack, and he already understood the reason.

After the attack, the masked man didn't say a word, as if he had already eaten Xu Bai.

But the next moment, his exposed eyes showed shock.

Xu Bai dodged the attack of the black fog, stomped his feet slightly, and the true energy flowed to the ground along his feet, and a golden formation suddenly emerged.

The flames rose, covering the black fog.

In the flames, the black fog bumped left and right, but it couldn't get out at all, and the shouts inside became stronger.

"He's not just a warrior!" The masked man was just slightly stunned, and then turned around and ran without hesitation.

Originally, it was the limit of the burst distance that blocked the warrior, but now this man is not just a warrior, that's another plan.

——Escape is important!

The masked man crossed the high wall in front of him and prepared to escape.

But the next moment, a sharp wind sound came.

The masked man heard the wind sound, turned his head and saw a round object wrapped in golden light, hitting his calf.

The severe pain was like a tide, and the masked man just wanted to wail, but the next moment, three more wind sounds came out.

The intact hands and feet were all pierced by copper coins, and the masked man fell from the wall and screamed in pain.

Behind him, there were desperate footsteps.

There was also a voice that made him shudder.

"Why are you so confident?"
