You say this is a love game?

And the direct cause of his two deaths - the swamp wood spirits.

These two brothers who are proficient in tree trunk slamming are even more heavyweights!

Mizutani Makoto stood on the hillside again. The wood spirits in the back mountain did not exist in groups. Usually there was only one in a small forest, and two or three was the most. They probably had a sense of territory or were competing for nutrients from the earth.

Even killing Mu Mei was actually quite easy for him, and he didn't have to worry about being beaten to death by Mu Mei.

But the situation is different once you get to the swamp.

In the swamp, his mobility was completely limited, but there were two swamp wood spirits moving briskly in the swamp. They were each swinging a thick tree trunk and were now patrolling the swamp.

This is different from before.

Even the ancient chun tree on the other side of the swamp was awake, and the woman's half body was staring at the small piece of open space where the jade flowers were planted. Mizutani Makoto actually saw traces of sadness on the ancient chun's face.

"...?"

The last time I stole her flowers, I got Jade Syndrome?

But no matter what, the first thing he has to deal with is the wood spirit in the swamp. Using the combination of the Sleeping Ring and the Hidden Magatama can only bypass it, but cannot kill it. In the end, he still has to rely on real skills.

Mizutani Makoto's previous idea was to go invisible, take drugs, steal Ass's backstab and quickly kill a swamp wood spirit, then take advantage of the drug's effect to kill another one, and then hurriedly fight a decisive battle with Gu Chun.

Now that there are anti-soul threads, the entire battle logic is different.

"My intelligence originally had 8 points. When Jia Zizhi was in power, the divine serpent could raise my intelligence to 10. Now it will only be higher!"

"As for the mechanism of the anti-soul thread, controlling each unit requires 5 points of intelligence. There are only two wood spirits here. I can definitely turn them all against me before the battle."

The style of this battle might become particularly bizarre.

What, your little brother?

That's my little brother!

Makoto Mizutani slid down the gentle slope. This time he did not hide his figure, but stood openly at the edge of the swamp, waiting for the prey to approach.

Different from before.

Now the wood spirits are patrolling all over the swamp!

Boom, boom.

A swamp wood ghost holding a tree trunk walked with its short and thick legs made of tangled tree roots, wandering in the swamp, and the mud was squeezed away by its legs.

At a certain moment, the wood ghost stopped.

"Ok?"

A dull nasal sound.

A tiny figure suddenly appeared in my sight.

If there is anyone, kill him.

The spirit of the wood demon controlled this body, which was several meters taller than an ordinary ancient tree, and "ran wildly" towards Mizutani Makoto.

Mizutani Makoto held his breath and concentrated.

Looking up——[Secret Potion of the Flesh], [Ashes Pill]

In an instant, spiritual power turned into air currents that swept up from all directions around him, and the girl once again hugged him tightly in her arms.

"The spirit is summoned, valid for ten minutes."

Just leave about half the time for the secret medicine to take effect.

The young man raised his right hand, and the dark green silk thread exploded, shooting towards Mu Mei like a nimble python.

……

Not long after.

The ancient cypress seemed to sense something. The woman embedded in the trunk half turned her head and looked towards the direction of the swamp with a smart expression.

There's a lot of noise over there.

The two swamp wood spirits that were supposed to be guarding her were now causing trouble in the swamp. They started from the other end of the swamp and rumbled across it. As the distance between them shortened, Gu Chun began to notice the young man they were chasing.

"...?"

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet!

Gu Chun, who was already bloodthirsty, became furious when she saw Mizutani Cheng stealing her Shuyu flowers.

She had been so hard with Mu Mei before, how come he was still alive?

Forget it, there’s no need to worry about this kind of thing!

Look at her—uh, uh uh?

【Charm:8→11】

Before my eyes, there appeared a beautiful boy emitting a faint charm.

The tree demon stretched out its neck and looked at the face of the young man in front of it. Suddenly, a strange feeling seemed to spread in her mind, which made her stunned for a moment.

How could the young man in front of me be so handsome?

Reverse charm!

For Yoshiko Sanatori, who is at the same level, her "Serving Gods and Descending Spirits" state not only has the ability to return soul threads, but also has a huge improvement in numerical correction.

Strength: 10 → 14

[Stamina: 5→9]

Agility: 7 → 11

Intelligence: 8 → 12

[Spiritual Power: 23→25]

All attributes except charm received a 4-point attribute correction, and at the spiritual power level, the two people who were at the same and lower levels superimposed on each other, and even their spiritual power points were increased.

This didn't happen before.

I think the position of the critical point before was really awkward. Even if two people were combined, they couldn't break through from the paper level to the parallel level.

In addition to this, Mizutani Makoto also gained the "Charm +3" correction, which played an unexpected role at this moment.

In the form of a spirit, Mizutani Makoto's charm value has exceeded 10 points, and this value has begun to produce a slightly strange feeling of "charm".

Actually, it’s not that mysterious.

If it were in the modern world, people might be more likely to feel close to him or be ecstatic about his looks, but for those with strong will or great strength, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced, or even have no effect at all.

However, the monster in front of him is called "Guchun"!

This monster is famous in legends for "kidnapping men". There are even stories that she kidnapped her beloved man and took him with her to reincarnate, so this can be considered a blessing in disguise.

Fake special attack: Fire attack.

The real special attack: beautiful boy.

At this moment, Gu Chun felt that her spring had arrived, the season when all things revived. Although the young man in front of her had plucked away her beloved Shuyu flower, considering his modeling, it seemed that it was not impossible to make peace, forgive him, and then "kidnap" him.

I really want to keep him by my side and bury him under my roots.

She will always, always, always... cling to him tightly!

Racial DNA riot!

But along with her spring came the Ryogen sword that was emitting a faint flame.

Mizutani Makoto bit into the red sugar pill that he had hidden between his molars in advance. A hot stream as hot as volcanic lava slid through his throat, and the blue veins under his skin popped up like cracks in the earth. The Liaoyuan sword sensed the buzzing and trembling of blood, and a sharp sword energy actually rose directly from the blade.

"Three hundred seconds..."

He licked the blood foam from the corner of his mouth and said to himself, that's enough.

[Spiritual Power: 25→33]

Spiritual power +8!

It was worthy of being his secret life-saving medicine. This wave directly pushed him from the lower position to the middle position. The surging spiritual power was fed back to the blade. The moment he stepped ashore, he stomped on the ground, and the two swords were wrapped in unstoppable sword energy, slashing towards Gu Chun!

The roots of the ancient cypress tree dug out from the ground. The roots were thick and twisted, and the surface was covered with nodules and barbs. Many roots twisted into several violent thorn whips, which cut through the air with a "whoosh!" sound and went straight for Mizutani Makoto's sword!

Exactly the same routine as before.

But how could she stop Mizutani Makoto's knife at this moment?

Flowing water slash!

Mizutani Makoto rushed forward rapidly, swinging his sword like flowing water. The right sword was yang, light and swift, while the left sword was yin, steady and heavy. The yin and yang of the left and right swords intersected, combining hardness and softness, and turned into an endlessly flowing arc of light, which rushed forward like a rotating silver wheel!

The thorn whip came down heavily, but was completely shattered the moment it touched the blade - not split in half, but the force was relieved and it broke naturally, like a river naturally dividing when it meets a mountain.

This doesn't even have anything to do with the advantage of Mizutani Makoto's sword energy, but rather the way of the kendo.

With his blood trembling and his life hanging by a thread, his comprehension of the way of the sword was so pure that it was astonishing.

The figure shuttled through the whip shadows, his steps light and steady, the twin swords in his hands like fish swimming in the water, flowing smoothly and without stagnation. Each sword strike was not a direct attack, but cleverly guided by the force of the roots, and then counterattacked with thunderous force to the weak point, breaking it with a single blow!

"Crack——!"

A taproot snapped, releasing a sweet, fishy-smelling sap. Then, a second, a third... The ancient tree's roots snapped one after another. Mizutani Makoto took a powerful step, darting forward like an arrow, his murderous intent fixed squarely on the twisted giant tree before him.

However, a rain of flowers fell from the sky without warning.

The snow-white camellia flowers were pierced with light red veins like blood vessels, and the petals fell like rain. Their falling figures were so dreamy, but they did not make Mizutani Makoto feel the beauty. On the contrary, a strange fishy and sweet smell filled the air, making people feel uncomfortable.

The Chinese toon tree is blooming!

And at the same time, the earth was directly overturned by the huge roots. Seeing that Mizutani Makoto was forced to this point, Gu Chun actually pulled out the entire root from the ground. The woman glared at Mizutani Makoto with half of her body, raised her hand and called, and a large number of branches turned into an array of wooden spears.

Mizutani Makoto's pupils shrank, but he was well versed in the method of killing a magician, so instead of retreating, he advanced, slashing out with his Liaoyuan sword, and slashed at the wooden spears that were thrusting towards him!

The spear is too restraining to the sword!

At this point, Mizutani Makoto relied entirely on the help of sword energy. The invisible sword energy increased the range of his sword tip by one foot out of thin air. The two swords on his left and right danced wildly, producing an impenetrable sword light. He was able to stand firm on the spot, and even rushed out again at the moment when the attack of the wooden spear slowed down.

But before that, a shower of flowers had fallen, their petals transforming into seeds that quickly burrowed into the soil. In the blink of an eye, they burst forth, branches and leaves growing wildly, transforming into hunched figures. These little monsters, composed entirely of buds and petals, had faint green fire burning in their eye sockets. Their movements were swift and cunning, and with a hiss, they pounced upon Mizutani Makoto.

Its vines are like whips and its claws are like blades. They attack from all directions and pose a considerable threat.

Mizutani Makoto is naturally not afraid of these bastards.

One knife each!

[Soul +22], [Soul +22]...

He killed more than a dozen little flower demons that pounced on him in succession and was not injured, but his speed was indeed slowed down. Gu Chun was very close to him, but even with such a short distance, every few meters forward was a big challenge.

And the worst part is coming.

Boom, boom. The sound of giant creatures moving came from behind. Two swamp wood spirits had already come ashore.

And in this chaos, the trunk of the ancient cypress tree trembled violently, her lips moved, and she managed to squeeze out unclear human words:

"catch him!"

The two wood spirits took steps forward following her orders. The camellia flowers on their bodies were growing, making their bodies swell, while also giving them stronger strength and more flexible movements!

Rumble! They started running, trampling several small flower demons to death along the way. Together with Gu Chun, one in front and one behind, they formed a double-team situation. Combined with the small flower demons staring at them from both sides, they unexpectedly trapped Mizutani Makoto in the middle!

but.

Why does it feel like something is wrong?

By the time Gu Chun noticed something was wrong, it was too late.

In her confused, angry, and even unbelievable eyes, the two wood spirits that were supposed to obey her orders actually stepped over the warrior boy's head without hesitation. Their swollen bodies carried a scent of decay mixed with the fragrance of flowers, and their footsteps were as heavy as thunder, creating circles of cracks on the ground.

Their target is not Mizutani Makoto, but herself!

"you--!"

Gu Chun roared in shock and anger, but before she could issue a complete order, the two wood spirits had already swung the extremely heavy tree trunks in their hands and smashed them down towards her trunk like a punishment from heaven!

boom! ! !

boom! ! !

Tree Trunk Slam!!

Two loud noises tore through the night sky, as if even the earth was shaking.
