A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Niu Quankang: Monster, it's a monster! ...Ahhh, the gods must be angry! Only that kind of monster would appear... All the villagers are dead!

KP: Just as Niu Quankang was explaining tremblingly, there was a sudden movement from underground, like the sound of some long object moving through the sand and gravel. Seeing the floor tiles of the house being lifted up one by one, Niu Quankang was so scared that he ran out of the house like a madman.

Niu Quankang: The monster is coming! The monster——

KP: Before he could finish his words, several black tree roots as thick as forearms shot out from the ground and pierced Niu Quankang, who was unable to dodge, off the ground like a skewer. Then, with a creepy sucking sound, Niu Quankang's screams came to an abrupt end, and his body quickly shrank like a deflated balloon, leaving only a layer of dry skin.

Xiao Huohuo: Although it’s a bit cruel, it’s still a good thing for meow to die.

KP: After finishing their meal, the black roots danced again, shredding Niu Quankang's withered corpse and discarding it, then turning to Jeanne inside the house. The next second, the black roots pierced the ground, like the long legs of a spider, slowly lifting their core body out of the ground. It was a muscular middle-aged man, his skin dark and fibrous from fusion with the roots, the contours of the muscles beneath the skin exaggerated, giving him a fierce look.

KP: Joan of Arc recognized the middle-aged man as Niu Da.

Xiao Huohuo: Coming out of the soil with tree roots on its body?

Han Buli: ...Niu Da has become a civil engineer. (Sad)

KP: Damn it, civil engineer.

Joan of Arc: (holding her sword with a solemn expression) Very well, it is time to settle the accounts of the villagers sacrificing the demons in exchange for property, and setting a banquet to ambush us.

Niu Da:......

KP: Niu Da did not reply, or perhaps he had lost the consciousness and ability to reply at this moment. Only the six dark tree roots were waving their claws and fangs behind him, revealing a chilling murderous intent.

Xiao Huohuo: (heart shape) Come on, sister.

Joan of Arc: Stop cheering there, where are you, my stinky brother?

Xiao Huohuo: Thank you for the invitation. I am in the corridor. There are too many tentacle monsters, so I have to hide.

……

KP: Fight back!

KP: Both players are at similar levels, no level suppression. Order of attack: Jeanne d'Arc > Niu Da.

Joan of Arc: Niu Da should be of wood attribute now, I will directly chop him with Huang Jing sword.

Joan of Arc: Swordsmanship, 41/(50+10), success.

Gold spiritual root bonus, 56/70, success.

KP: Joan of Arc took the lead. The Huangjing sword in her hand drew an elegant and deadly sword light, and in the blink of an eye it stabbed towards Niu Da's throat.

Niu Da: Wooden thorn confrontation, 98/50, big failure.

Xiao Huohuo: Huh?

Romeo: Huh?

KP: In this moment, Joan of Arc put her ten years of swordsmanship to the test! She first dodged the root's direct attack by slightly tilting her head, struck Niu Da's neck with her sword, and then swung her sword to strike the remaining root. Using the root's power, she turned around and accelerated, completing a second slash in an instant!

第一次剑术伤害：（【1d3：3】+【1d5：5】）x1.3*1.3=13

第二次剑术伤害：（【1d3：2】+【1d5：4】）x1.3*1.3=10

Niu Da HP: 25-13-10=2

KP: The Huangjing Sword is made of gold, and it naturally restrains Niu Da, who has mutated into a tree demon. Two golden lights flashed, and the Huangjing Sword seemed to easily cut through Niu Da's hard bark, almost splitting it in two.

Romeo: Bullfrog. Bullfrog.

Han Buli: Do you like a sister whose normal attack is a secondary attack and is guaranteed to be a critical hit?

Xiao Huohuo: It’s done.

KP: Niu Da's fighting spirit. (Dark dice)

KP: He was seriously injured by Joan of Arc in just one encounter. There was a hint of human fear in Niu Da's empty eyes. He used a tree root to tightly bind his almost split body, and the rest of the roots were buried in the soil. He actually wanted to escape!

Joan of Arc: Humph, you want to escape!

KP: Round 2. Jeanne goes first.

Joan of Arc: I'll keep chopping him!

Joan of Arc: Swordsmanship, 18/(50+10), success.

Niu Da: Wooden thorn confrontation, 16/50, success.

剑术伤害：（【1d3：3】+【1d5：5】）x1.3*1.3=13

木刺伤害：【1d5：1】+3=4

Niu Da's HP: 2-(13-4)=0

KP: The sword flashed, cutting off the black tree roots that were still resisting, and then it continued to move forward, chopping off Niu Da's head cleanly and neatly.

KP: The head tumbled several times in the air before crashing to the ground with a thud. Niu Da froze in his tracks. The next second, the tree roots behind him, along with his half-submerged body, slowly transformed into a pool of black pus, sinking into the earth. Thus ended the life of one of the culprits in the Jiping Village disappearances.

KP: The battle is over, Joan of Arc wins!

Xiao Huohuo: Awesome, awesome.

Joan of Arc: I'm going to check on Xiaocao right away!

KP: So, after seeing the tragic situation in the village and the monster that Niu Da transformed into, Jeanne was very worried about Xiao Cao's safety and quickly rushed to Xiao Cao's home.

KP: (Dark Dice)

KP: You were very lucky that you didn't encounter any enemies along the way. However, after seeing what happened to Niu Quankang, you now noticed that the things on the roadside that you originally thought were dead branches were actually the remains of countless villagers who had been drained of their blood.

KP: In just half a day, the entire Jiping Village has become a dead zone. You ran through most of the village and didn't see any signs of life. The feeling of uneasiness in your heart became more and more serious.

Xiao Huohuo: Could it be that the grass is gone...?

Han Buli: I can’t say for sure, this bastard KP has a criminal record.

KP: (Spreads his hands and sighs) Everyone has their own destiny; life and death are in the hands of God. When Jeanne finally arrived at Xiaocao's house, the dilapidated yet still warm thatched hut had completely collapsed into ruins. Beneath the collapsed earthen wall, a half-withered little hand stretched out, tightly clutching a jade pendant.

Joan of Arc: ...

Xiao Huohuo: Damn it, KP, be a human being!

Romeo: I have lost my grass, and all I see is defeat!

Han Buli: It hurts, it hurts so much.

KP: Joan of Arc, please live your life to the fullest.

Joan of Arc: Will, 70/65, failed.

KP: You found that the life that was so vibrant yesterday had disappeared so suddenly in front of you. Joan of Arc, you looked at the familiar jade pendant, and your mind was filled with Xiaocao's voice and smile. The surging emotions at that moment hit the shackles of reason, making you dizzy.

KP: Will failure, lose [1d5] MP.

贞德MP：12-【1d5：2】=10

Joan of Arc: (Takes a deep breath) KP, the real body of that tree demon must be at the deepest part of the tunnel.

KP: Maybe, what do you want to do?

Joan of Arc: You even need to ask! (Hits the table) Damn, I'm going to blow up with it!!!

KP: At this moment, the ground of the entire Jiping Village suddenly began to shake violently, and something hidden deep inside was finally about to surface.

033 Fight! Fight! Fight! (Day 15)

KP: Three minutes ago, when Jeanne arrived at Xiaocao, Xiao Huohuo and the other two finally climbed out of the tunnel.

Xiao Huohuo: Huh? Is there something else going on with us? I feel like my sister Zhendace can take down the boss all by herself.

Han Buli: Wait a minute, KP, I want to show you what I stole when I crawled out just now.

KP: They are just a pile of gold and silver buried with the dead. What use are you bringing?

Han Buli: No, there are monsters living in this place, what if there are some magical weapons?

KP: ...Then it will be difficult for you to succeed even with your skillful hands and luck without level suppression.

Han Buli: Brilliant move, 21/70, difficult success.

Lucky, 77/70, failed.

KP: You only found some useless gold and silver objects along the way, and considering that they would increase the weight when going up, you didn't bring them with you.

Han Buli: boring.jpg

KP: So, just as the three of you arrived at the open space outside, the ground throughout Jiping Village suddenly began to shake violently. Especially for you three, Xiao Huohuo, the epicenter of the earthquake seemed to be not far behind you, and the violent shaking made it almost impossible for you to stand.

Romeo: Huh?

Xiao Huohuo: What happened?

KP: Xiao Huohuo and the other two turned to look at the epicenter of the disturbance. As you watched in astonishment, the massive willow tree, over ten meters tall, in the center of the village square, slowly rose from the earth. Its thick roots waved like octopus tentacles, leaving half-meter-deep furrows in the ground. At the same time, two more humanoid monsters emerged from the earth, their roots and tentacles sprouting like spider legs, and they charged at you with bared fangs and claws.

Romeo: Isn't this right?

Han Buli: Seeing this, I frowned and hid Brother Xiao in front of me.

Xiao Huohuo: Stop covering it up! KP, when will our spiritual power recover?

KP: I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious (dice), you need to persist in the battle for 2 rounds before Joan of Arc arrives.

Han Buli: Without spiritual power, I feel like I’ll be defeated in one round.

Xiao Huohuo: There’s no other way, Lao Luo, you take over first!

Romeo: My ardent horse!

……

KP: Battle return. Giant Willow's current strength is equivalent to the third level of Qi Refining, while the demonized villager's current strength is equivalent to the first level of Qi Refining. Please note the level suppression. The attack order is: Han Buli > Villager A > Villager B > Romeo > Xiao Huohuo > Giant Willow.

Han Buli: They are just some small Karami at the first level of Qi Refining. It turns out that Niu Da is an elite monster.

Xiao Huohuo: Brother Han, don’t forget, we haven’t even reached the first level of Qi Refining yet.

Han Buli: Damn!

KP: Round one, start.

Han Buli: So what can I do now? Try to make fire by rubbing two sticks together?

Xiao Huohuo: 6.

KP: As his spiritual energy had not yet recovered, Han Buli was temporarily unable to fight and could only choose to retreat quietly to protect himself. Seeing this, the two demonized villagers in front of the giant willow took the lead in launching an attack.

Villager A: Target: Han Buli. Wood Thorn, 21/50, Success.

Villager B: Attack target: Han Buli. Wood thorn, 44/50, success.

Han Buli:? We agreed to focus on Lao Luo first in the group fight.

Romeo: Lao Han, I've eaten shit.

Han Buli: (annoyed)

KP: Han Buli dodges.

韩不立：闪避，【2d100：12、73】/（60-10），成功1失败1。

Villager B Damage: [1d5:5]

Han Buli's HP: 14-5=9

KP: Three demonized villagers came towards him, and Han Buli was the first to be hit. Although he immediately distanced himself and avoided the wooden spikes from villager A, he was still accidentally hit by the second wooden spike, leaving a foot-long wound under his ribs, and the bleeding would not stop.

Han Buli: It’s so difficult for me.

Romeo: Don't panic, Lao Han. I will avenge you.

Romeo: Strong and unyielding, 37/55, success.

Gold spiritual root bonus, 66/80, success.

Romeo: I'm going to give these villagers a big slap in the face. Who are you to mess with us, our best buddies?

Romeo: Brawl, 55/70, success.

Villager B: Wooden thorns against, 87/(50-10), failed.

斗殴伤害：（【1d3：3】+【1d4：2】+【1d3：3】+1）x1.3=11

Villager bHP: 20-11=9
