Chapter 336 Where did you two put me? (Please subscribe, read, and comment on the monthly ticket)

Martin drove Zhou Zanxi away mainly because the two of them were not familiar with each other.

No matter what happened next, he didn't want to involve the other party, nor did he want to be distracted to protect her.

But Martin had a different attitude towards Barbara.

He simply tore off the black robe on his body, gathered the magic power that had just recovered at his fingertips, wrote a protective talisman on the torn part of the robe, and then wrapped it directly around Barbara.

"As long as I restrain myself and don't dig up things from the past, this robe will be enough to protect you from most evil spirits."

Martin, wearing a suit of armor, looked like a walking iron tower.

He was still not at ease after giving her the robe, and reminded her in a buzzing voice, "I don't know what will happen if those shadows come into contact with the world of the dead. For your safety, don't use the power of the shadow kingdom for the time being."

"If I can't use the power of the Shadow Realm, I think it's best for me to leave and not hold you back by staying here."

Barbara was serious. The world of the dead was unfamiliar to her. If she followed them rashly, if something unexpected happened, she would not have the chance to react.

Although she was ready to leave, she had no intention of returning the robe to Martin. She held the edge of the robe tightly with both hands and had no intention of letting go.

Martin had no intention of taking the robe back.

Although this robe can be considered a precious treasure, it is only valuable when it is used to protect friends.

Martin saw that Barbara didn't want to leave, so he raised the long knife and said to her, "Although the Shadow Kingdom is special, it is nothing here. You hold this knife well, no matter what kind of monster it is, it will become no different from ordinary people in front of you."

"it is good!"

Barbara smiled and happily took the talisman knife.

She knew nothing about Eastern Taoism and was so happy only because of Martin's concern.

Even if Martin had given her only an ordinary steel knife, she would have been as happy as she is now.

Barbara pulled the talisman knife out of the scabbard, looked at the interlocking talismans on the blade's spine, and became familiar with the weapon.

A gleam of light flashed in Martin's eyes. He infused magic power into his eyes and saw the breath flowing around him. The tree demon was still hiding underground and there was no movement for the time being.

He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the talismans he had previously thrown in six directions began to burn, emitting bursts of yellow smoke.

This kind of fireworks can only be seen by ghosts and gods. They rise from the ground and slowly gather in the direction where Martin is standing. Finally, they turn into a large interwoven net that blocks the cemetery that has just been destroyed.

After doing all this, he looked down at Barbara in front of him and said to her, "Are you still used to using this long sword?"

"You underestimate me, and you also underestimate Bruce's ability."

Barbara held the knife with both hands and waved it gently, familiar with the center of gravity of the knife. She smiled and said to Martin: "When he trained Dick and me, he was going to train us to be all-rounders."

Recalling her time as a novice being trained by Bruce, Barbara closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously.

"Although I am not a weapon master now, I still have no problem using this knife."

Martin wasn't worried that Barbara couldn't use a knife, but that she wasn't used to it.

For Martin, who was wearing armor, this talisman sword could be easily wielded with one hand, but for Barbara, it was a two-handed sword.

When facing superhumans, members of the Bat-Family usually use skills, speed, and tactics to deal with enemies that cannot be defeated by ordinary means.

The two-handed sword is a weapon more suitable for the sturdy Batman. For Barbara, who is slightly petite, the two-handed sword seems a bit too much.

"You worry too much about me."

Although Barbara enjoyed Martin's concern, she had to say for herself: "I'm not a fragile little girl. I can handle these situations. You just need to do it."

"Well, now that you've made up your mind, it would be a bit too stubborn for me to say anything more."

Martin stuffed a stack of talismans into Barbara's belt.

These talismans are either thunder spells or fire spells. They are very simple to use. Just throw the talismans out like grenades.

If you don't want to throw it out, you can also stick the talisman directly on the back of the sword to add various buffs such as breaking evil, paralysis, and burning to the long sword.

"Get ready, I'm going to force the tree demon out from underground!"

Before Martin took action, he reminded Barbara first, then waved his hand, and five triangular flags flew out and landed on the five elements.

These flags are palm-sized, dyed red all over, with clouds embroidered on them with golden silk thread, and birds and beasts such as dragons, Bifang, Huodou, and crows hidden in the middle, which look lifelike.

As soon as the five flags landed, they attracted the anger of the people around them, but Martin ignored them for the time being.

He took out a three-inch oval stone from the box. The surface was very smooth and the three words "Shi Gan Dang" were engraved on it.

Shi Gan Dang originated from the branch of belief in the earth in ancient times.

The thick land stretches as far as the eye can see. Everyone stands on the earth and prays for peace to the boundless thick land. The thick land protects all living beings equally without any partiality.

In this situation, people's beliefs began to differentiate. In the eastern tribes, people found strangely shaped stones in the mountains and lands, believing that these were special protections bestowed upon them by the thick earth.

The belief in the magical stone was passed down in this way and gradually evolved into the belief in Mount Tai. The stone then turned into a person named "Shi Gan Dang", who was undoubtedly promoted to a god.

When almost every household built a house, they placed a sign engraved with the name "Shi Gan Dang" in front of the door to protect the safety of their house, pray for descendants and keep away from evil spirits.

The "stone talisman" in Martin's hand was found at the door of a wealthy family that had been passed down for three hundred years.

In a war of dynasty change, the family that had been passed down for three hundred years by blood and family tradition turned into piles of bones in a pool of blood under the iron hoofs.

No gods or treasures could change this fate, and the once luxurious house was burned down.

When Martin passed by, he only found this stone at the door, turned it into his own collection, threw it into the treasure house, and occasionally took it out to look at it.

"The thick soil is endless, blessing people. The mountains are vast, wind and rain are transformed. The spirit stones are rolling, gathering energy. This thing will shake the sky and the earth!"

Martin chanted a spell, and the stone talisman in his hand kept spinning. Rich spiritual energy poured into the stone, flew out of his palm, rushed to a position of ten meters, and then smashed heavily to the ground.

He learned the lesson and did not try to turn his magic power into divine power. He just cast spells as usual.

He didn't want the disasters in his past memories to happen again, he just wanted to experience an exciting but not dangerous adventure with Barbara.

Boom!

The stone talisman slammed heavily on the ground, and the spell triggered the power of the thick earth, causing the land in the entire cemetery to shake.

Every stone, every pile of soil, and every grain of sand in the earth began to vibrate, releasing powerful force and pressing down along with Shi Gan Dang's power.

Boundless power piled up one after another, like countless mountains, pressing down on the tree monster with its roots rooted in the ground with an unreasonable posture.

Click!

A piece of stone was as heavy as a mountain. With the power to ward off evil spirits and ward off evil spirits, it smashed violently on the tree monster, directly smashing cracks in its trunk. Piles of waste flew out from the cracks.

"Where did you come from, little Taoist priest? How dare you disturb me?" The tree demon was suddenly attacked and let out a mixture of male and female screams.

A thick demonic aura emanated from it, and its branches, which had originally shrunk, began to grow wildly. It climbed upwards against the earth spirit energy smashed down by the "Shi Gan Dang", trying to drill out of the ground.

Mu Ketu!
Although the Martin tree fell down violently, this tree demon of unknown origin still dug its roots into the ground and began to absorb the power of the earth spirit to strengthen itself.

In just a blink of an eye, the damaged trunk of the tree demon returned to its original state and continued to grow stronger.

Martin used a spell similar to the Sky Eye to see clearly what was happening underground, but he did not stop. He made a hand seal similar to a mountain on his hand, increasing the speed of his magic power output.

Barbara stood behind Martin, holding a knife in both hands, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous. Although she had seen many strange lives because of Martin, she had never seen any real monsters.

Thanks to horror movies from Hong Kong or Japan, Barbara had a mysterious fantasy about oriental monsters and ghosts, always feeling that they were very scary and could not be touched.

Seeing the spell Martin cast, she became even more certain of this.

Barbara looked at Martin and threw the stone to the ground, and then the whole land began to shake.

She could hear and see, but she couldn't feel. Her feet were standing on the constantly shaking ground, yet they were as steady as if they were standing on flat ground.

Martin didn't explain the principle of the spell, which made Barbara start to imagine wildly.

"That tree demon is about to emerge from the ground, be careful!"

Martin stretched out his hand and the stone that had hit the ground flew back into his hand.

Boom!

Branches broke through the ground and popped out, blowing up a lot of soil, like dry ghost claws, rushing towards Barbara from all directions.

The tree demon also knew that Martin was not easy to deal with.

Although the tree demon's impression of encountering the disaster was washed away by Martin's terrifying spirituality, there was still a trace of fear in its heart, which made it dare not fight with Martin.

So, the tree demon scolded Martin in a mixed voice of men and women, but rushed towards Barbara first, wanting to eat the weak one first.

"Stop looking down on people!"

Barbara saw through the tree demon's plan at a glance, raised her eyebrows and shouted.

"I am not a vase to decorate Martin. If you dare to attack me, I will chop you into a bald head."

Barbara didn't know how to describe these monsters, so she just cursed them.

"Shut up, little bitch, I'm going to suck you dry!"

The dryad's rage was beyond Barbara's expectations.

It seems that baldness is a common pain point for all life!
She complained silently in her heart and quickly took out the two talismans that Martin had just stuffed into her belt.

With a snap, the talisman fell on the blade and instantly ignited a violent fire of lightning. The red and blue colors intertwined, making it look like the lightsaber that Martin had used before.

"Go away!"

Barbara started with a horizontal slash, with wide swings, which was very inconsistent with her body shape, but she controlled the long sword in her hand firmly.

Wherever the long sword passed, lightning and fire burst out, directly burning the extended branches into ashes, and the demonic power contained in them also turned into light smoke and dissipated.

These talismans were drawn directly by Martin using his magic power, and they are more powerful than those written with cinnabar or other messy things.

No matter what the origin of this tree demon is, at least its strength is average and it cannot easily resist Martin's talisman.

After Barbara used a horizontal slash to repel the branch rushing towards her head, she changed direction midway and swung the long sword behind her to block the branch that was piercing her heart.

Then, she turned around and slashed with her backhand, cutting off the branches behind her. Thunder and fire burned, and also turned the demonic power in them into green smoke.

Martin stood nearby and watched, nodding his head.

Barbara was not bragging, she was indeed very skilled in handling weapons.

Bruce must have put a lot of effort into training her and Dick, so even today, they can use a seldom-used weapon to repel the enemy easily.

Forget it if we can't get rid of Martin.

The tree demon could endure it. After all, Martin, the Taoist priest, could hardly be called a human being. God knew what kind of person he was.

But the tree demon became angry and humiliated because he couldn't even take down Barbara.

It was a thousand-year-old tree demon that roamed the two worlds of Yin and Yang. Not only did it fail to achieve its goal by taking action personally, it couldn't even take down an ordinary mortal.

If this news gets out, how will it survive among the monsters in the future?

Feeling both ashamed and angry, the tree demon pushed the entire tree crown out from the ground. The dark branches like pythons spread out, with black leaves as big as baby palms, directly occupying the entire cemetery.

Barbara did not retreat. She wielded her sword like an elf, dancing among the bushes with thunder and fire, narrowly escaping death again and again.

"almost!"

Martin looked at the treetops that had all popped out and took action.

The reason why he used Shi Gan Dang's power to suppress the tree monster was to provide strength to the other party and make it feel stronger.

Only in this way would the tree demon not run away and stay to fight Martin.

"Commander Zhurong, General Taiyi Yu; thunder blasts the Whale Evil, lightning sweeps the Heavenly Wolf!"

Martin took out his rifle and pulled the trigger directly. The flame ignited the bullet and it erupted. The extremely masculine and powerful force became the fuse, driving the five flags around it to radiate light together.

Boom!

The lightning and fire that erupted from the musket was like a pillar, hitting the trunk of the tree monster directly.

The dark green evil spirit melted instantly, and the tree trunk, which was harder than steel, was torn apart by the bullets, and countless fragments flew everywhere.

The body of the tree demon was shaking, and a shrill wailing sound came from nowhere. Countless leaves fell to the ground and turned into black smoke, which contained some kind of poisonous gas.

This guy is scared!

The tree demon didn't care about Martin or Barbara. It was frightened by the lightning and fire erupting from the musket and subconsciously shrank back into the ground.

But how could Martin let it do as it wished? Five red flags waved, spewing out countless flames, transforming into fire dragons, fire birds, fire dogs... and rushing towards the tree monster in a mighty force, biting it directly.
