My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 185 Goodbye Statue!

"this……!!"

Tie Niu was so frightened that he took two steps back. His right foot was tripped by something and he fell on his butt.

But he didn't dare to be stunned for even a second. He reacted very quickly and crawled up to escape. However, the thing under his feet was like a trap set by a hunter, firmly biting his leg, and no matter how he pulled, it didn't move at all.

"what!"

While feeling panic, he looked up at Shen Ming and the other person, wanting to ask them for help.

However, when he looked over, he saw that the young man had already hidden at the back, ready to run away at any time. Shen Ming was a bit brave, but he just looked at them with curious eyes and had no intention of helping at all.

He gritted his teeth in anger.

"Damn it! I knew they were unreliable!"

Tie Niu cursed in his heart, but he was not too panicked.

Because now he didn't notice any danger approaching, and his feet were just entangled by a dark brown tree root.

He took out a short knife from under his crotch, cut off the tree roots neatly, and then hid it in his sleeve.

But just as he cut off the tree roots, he heard a "pop" sound.

A faint fragrance penetrated into his nose, and in just an instant he felt his brain become clear. Even his body, which was originally a little tired, felt a lot more relaxed.

"What is the taste?"

He followed the scent and looked at the cut dark brown tree roots.

Red liquid was gushing out from the neatly broken part, some of it sticky like overnight blood.

And that refreshing fragrance comes from here!

"This is……"

The fragrance in the air became stronger as the red liquid flowed from the fracture.

Gudong~

Tie Niu couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and saliva was secreted wildly in his mouth. An uncontrollable urge to eat it emerged.

The feeling is so strong, just like a monk who has gone through many hardships in the desert and finally sees nectar. It is irresistible and unrejectable.

He couldn't help but lower his head to taste the bright red juice~

Snapped! ! !

A crisp sound echoed around, and a fiery red slap mark appeared on Tie Niu's face. The force was so great that even his teeth were loose.

He slapped himself!

The intense pain instantly occupied his brain and woke him up.

"Don't be tempted! Don't be tempted! This place is full of weirdness. If you are not careful, you will die without a burial place! You must not be tempted by unknown things!"

He muttered something and then quickly stood up and broke free from the tree roots on his legs. He hurriedly retreated to distance himself from the corpse and reunited with Shen Ming and the others.

"Brother Niu, are you okay? What happened just now? Why is your face..."

The young master appeared beside him at the right time and asked with concern, but Tie Niu glanced at him coldly.

Humph, you are the one who reaps the benefits.

"It's okay, there are just a lot of flies in the forest, and I just tripped over a rock."

"The man in front..."

"died."

"Dead! How did he die?"

"How about you go take a look?"

The young man immediately stopped talking, waved his hands and shrank back.

"No, no, my legs are weak and I can't run fast..."

Tie Niu withdrew his gaze.

But at this time Shen Ming walked forward slowly and spoke curiously.

"It seems there is no road ahead, it's blocked by that big tree~"

"But I seem to see a big rock in the middle of the tree~"

After hearing Shen Ming's words, Tie Niu seemed to realize something and looked back.

But in the maze of tangled vines, in front of the kneeling corpse, there seemed to be a big stone looming?

It is embedded in a giant tree, as tall as three people, and is covered and obscured by layers of vines surrounding it, but it can still be seen clearly if you look closely.

But why didn't I notice it at first? Was I attracted by the corpse, or...

"Should we go take a look?"

Shen Ming pointed ahead and spoke to the two of them.

Tie Niu hesitated for a while, then nodded slightly and walked forward with Shen Ming.

The young master had to go, because if both of them went ahead, he would feel unsafe alone.

So I gritted my teeth and followed.

……

The three of them approached the maze of vines cautiously from the side, not daring to get too close to the corpse, and watched from a distance.

The sky around them also began to darken, and a thin mist rose up from nowhere, covering the corpse. There was a dead silence.

"It's not the stone! It's... it's the statue?!"

The young master was the first to exclaim in surprise. He looked at the stone statue wrapped and entangled by vines, his eyes full of horror.

Tie Niu's focus was different from his. He kept his eyes on the vines, following them downwards until they finally extended to the ground, where they intertwined and broke through the soil, and finally connected to the corpse.

His heart was still vaguely lingering on the fragrance from just now. Apart from the pain on his face, there was still some clarity and excitement in his mind.

The spirit is also very good.

He knew that he was in this state because of that strange liquid, and he even had the urge to taste it.

But he didn't dare to gamble, and still restrained himself. After all, what if...

"This tree... and this statue~"

Shen Ming looked at the statue quietly, looking at the pair of terrifying vertical pupils.

"There seems to be some words under the statue~"

"Words?! Where are they!"

The young man was startled and stretched his neck to look, but Tie Niu glanced at Shen Ming with a melancholy look.

"It's right under the base of the statue~"

After Shen Ming finished speaking, the young man pretended to go and see, but after he took two steps forward and saw that no one stopped him, he retreated awkwardly.

"Well~ why don't we go take a look? Maybe there are some clues?"

Tie Niu glanced at Shen Ming, frowned slightly and then nodded.

"Well, it's time to go check it out, but this time it's your turn."

As he said this, he looked at the young master. His honest face, which had been cheerfully comforting the young master before, turned extremely cold at this moment.

His eyes were unyielding, his right hand was slightly exposed, a cold light flashed, and in his palm was a faintly visible dagger~

"Hey~ I... my legs are a little..."

"With us behind you, you don't have to worry, go ahead~"

The young man looked at Shen Ming and wanted her to go, but Tie Niu somehow targeted him?

Seeing the sky was about to darken, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

Carefully he climbed over the vines hanging overhead and came to the statue.

The invisible oppressive feeling of the statue was like a blood python with its huge mouth opened, wanting to eat him alive. The ferocious face was like a demon from hell, staring at him ferociously, making him feel creepy.

"Don't blame me, don't blame me~ I didn't mean to offend you~"

As he muttered to himself, he quickly glanced over the words engraved under the statue, thoughts flashing through his eyes.

Then he turned and ran.

The whole process went smoothly. The young man jumped to their side like a happy rabbit.

Tie Niu regained his simple and honest expression at this time, patting the young man's back gently to comfort him while teasing him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, those two short legs are moving pretty fast~"

"What's engraved on it?"

The young man ignored Tie Niu's ridicule and spoke very quickly.

"Ahem... below... there is a poem engraved below~ saying..."
