“Ha! I knew it! ” After Feng Bujue heard Rain’s words, he shouted to that strange face with harsh voice: “The evildoer! Turn to your true body!” He shouted with vigour, but still did not move closer to the tree.
The monster had simply given up this wretched disguise since she could not keep it. The waxen face was quickly transformed, and the rough, dense wrinkles of the face were reduced to the grain of the bark.
Soon the head and the arm behind the tree became two branches on the trunk. There was a little bell at the top of the branch where the arm was.
At the same time, the tree trunk facing the direction of Rain suddenly appeared two huge cracks with bloody colour. It was like a pair of opened eyes, and the eyelids were bark, and under the bark, there was a pair of huge dark pupils.
“You are so nosey… “A dull, deep voice came directly from the trunk “If you want the bell, come and get it…”
Rain did not answer, and she did not have anything to say, so she responded with action.
By using her sword Canonization, she slanted her arms to make a psionic energy. Feng Bujue didn’t know how powerful it is, and it ripped a hole more than two meters long in the tree trunk through the air.
The tree was clearly unable to move or dodge, and the trunk received the blow. Surprisingly, the gargle also bled blood.
“Ah!” A cry came from the tree trunk as if the monster was in great pain.
Feng Bujue had come around to Like Rain from the other side. He knew that if he didn’t get close to the tree, it cannot hurt players at all.
“The defences seem to be very bad… “He muttered,” the range of attack seems very low, too.” He turned his head and looked at Rain.” I’m afraid this guy is very capable of doing harm. If we get close, it’s even possible that it will directly kill us by one slash.”
“My ability had a medium cooldown, but it took a little bit of spiritual value.” Rain knows what Feng Bujue meant, but her ranged attacks were limited.
“Well, so leave it to me.” Feng Bujue smiled, his face was filled with expressions of “looking forward to the moment”.
Like Rain heard the words and put away the sword: “Go ahead.”
“You…… “The big tree seemed to mention Feng Bujue’s expression, and immediately asked,” What do you want to do… “
“Don’t be afraid, I just want to ask you a few questions.” Then, kneeled on one knee, he took out [Miss Moxxi’s Bad Toucher] and laid it on top of the stool, steadily aiming for the great, immobile object that was a few metres away.
As Rain looked on it, it was weird that the player would say “Don’t be afraid” of the monster. It’s just hilarious.
“What if I don’t want to answer? “The monster responded with a fierce tone.
Click… Click… The gunshots answered its question.
A few shots suddenly poured from the muzzle of the submachine gun. The property of his gun is fire, and the special effect says “Especially suitable for killing live beings”. Obviously, whether the tree is an animal or a plant, it is a monster type severely restrained by this weapon.
“Ah! Ah! Ah…” The monster roared, and with only a few bullets left a trail of flame on his body, which, if it had not been extinguished by the blood from the bark, she might have burned all over.
“If you don’t want to become firewood, from now on, I will ask you… “Feng used practical action to make the other side unable to refuse, he immediately asked:” First of all, tell me who you are.”
“I don’t know.” The monster answered.
“Ah! There we go!” Feng Bujue was ready to fire again without warning.
“Wait! I’m telling the truth! “The monster quickly explained.
“Well, well, it doesn’t matter what your name is anyway.” Feng Bujue rise his head and gave up the attitude of aim temporarily: “So… Tell me first thing: what do you mean by ” THE FOREST THAT NO ONE CAN COME BACK “?
The monster thought for a few seconds and then asked, “Will you let me off?”
Click… click… “Ah! Good! I will say! Stop it!” The monster was shrieked and begged for mercy.
It remained silent for a while, as if waiting for the pain to subside, and said: “Decades ago, the villagers of that small town below the mountain were so afraid of the forest that they gave it a title of the forest that no one can come back. Almost nobody dared to come into this forest… Even they came, they can’t get out.”
“Because there are a lot of monsters like you in the forest?” Asked Feng Bujue.
“Yes, but not much.” The tree sneered, “I don’t know whether I am a monster or not, but I am just an old tree in the forest. “The child”‘s anger is so strong that the whole forest is full of hatreds, and I was influenced by it… “At this point, the hole in the bark cut open by Like Rain was broken, with a spillage of blood flowed out, and the inside of the trunk appeared before Feng Bujue and Rain’s eyes.
The trunk of the tree was full of the dead, and the dead faces were so horrible: the expression of terror was fixed upon their faces, and every body was limply but not rotten, with all the dead bodies were tangled up like braids, and were bleeding from eyes and noses.
“All the villagers in the town of Cangling have done it for themselves, and their descendants will be punished.” The monster closed the gap as it spoke. “You are the ghost-hunter invited by villagers, aren’t you?”
Feng Bujue asked: “Could an evil tree of the mountain know that this world has ghost hunter?”
“Many years ago, there were a lot of well-trained Monks, Taoists from the countryside, and magicians specializing in ghost hunting… There were too many people to count, and all of them have died in the hands of “the child”.” Monster returned.
“Did it say Cangling?” said Rain. 1)
Feng Bujue wanted to know about this too:”The small town at the foot of the mountain is clearly called Canglin town, but why do you say ‘Cangling town’?”
“This has been called Cangling town for many years, when the town called Canglin town?” Monster returned.
Feng Bujue looked Like Raina, lowed his voice, said: “Decades ago… Something must have happened. The fact that this village has been abandoned may have something to do with the man who left three big words at the entering of the village.”
Like Rain also followed Feng Bujue‘s thought to think, but she did not get any conclusion yet, she only softly replied: “Ask the matter of the dead soul.”
Feng Bujue continued to the monster: “” That child” in your words was killed by the villagers, right? What’s the matter?”
“You have to ask her yourself. I only know she was bitterly resentful of the villagers, and I thought she must die under these wrongs before. I don’t know how she died.” Returned monster.
“And where is she? “He asked.
“Cangling Temple.” “Answered the monster.
“Where is the Cangling Temple? How to get there?” Asked Feng Bujue.
“You can take my bell and hold it in front of your eyes, and as long as you face the temple, the bell will ring.”
“Oh… “Feng Bujue’s sight moved to the branch of the monster tree with the bell on it:” Is it possible… You throw it over to me?”
The monster replied, “I can’t do it.”
“Well… That’s O… “Feng Bujue suddenly interrupted his words and put on a face of surprise, pointing to the other side of the tree, shouted:” Ah! What is that?”
Even Rain on one side was startled. Although she was standing by him, their vision was basically the same, and she did not see any abnormal situation, but Feng Bujue’s facial expression and the tone were so lifelike that she unconsciously became nervous.
The tree, without knowing what had happened, had turned its eyes along the bark to the other side like a human.
At this moment, Feng Bujue suddenly opened the Body-Spirit Congregation Technique, and the bell was lifted from the tree branch extremely quick. He then returned to a safe distance.
That last hope of the evil tree was also shattered at this moment, as the player approached the bell for its only chance of attack, but that is no longer possible. Feng Bujue used such a very childish, similar to a deception “be careful behind your back!” from kindergartens, and he got the item.
[Name: Bell]
[Type: Plot related]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Effect: Locate the location of Cangling Temple]
[Whether can be taken out of the scenario: No]
[Note: The little bell seems to have a sense of connection to some powerful evil spirit.]
“OK, we are done. Let’s go.” Feng Bujue said to Like Rain. After he got the bell, he immediately disarmed from Body-Spirit Congregation Technique and put away his stool and gun.
“Why don’t we kill the tree monster? “Asked Like Rain.
“Save the bullet.” Feng Bujue replied and raised the bell, flattened his arm. When he turned to the northwest direction, the bell suddenly moved twice by itself and made some tingle noise.
Feng Bujue exchanged a look with like rain. They didn’t say anything more, ignored the monster behind, walked in the direction of the bell pointed.
After the players walked until gone, that tree sank a voice to said: “Ah… When you’re killed by that kid, she’ll still bring the bell and hang it back on me. “After it finished the word, all the vision of the tree trunk disappeared, and it was restored to the appearance of a common tree again.
- 1）This is a mistranslation. In Chinese, two names of the town have different meanings. The one before was “The town of sky with anima”, while the name mentioned by the tree was “The town that hides a bell”. They have almost the same pronounce ways in Chinese, which is Cangling, so it was a mistranslation of “Canglin Tournament”. But for convenience, I will use Canglin as the original name, and Cangling as the name mentioned by the tree.
