Huangjiatun was not too far away. When Wu Feng and Ninth Uncle arrived, the village chief of Huangjiatun personally came out to receive them.
The village chief was a skinny old man. He grabbed Ninth Uncle's hand and said excitedly,""Ninth Uncle, I've been looking forward to seeing you. Are these young men…your disciples?”
Ninth Uncle smiled and pointed at Wu Feng.""This is a friend of mine. Although this little brother is young, his ability is not low, so I brought him here to help. The other two are my disciples, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.”
The Huangjiatun Village Chief quickly bowed to Wu Feng."Sorry for the disrespect."
"No worries." Wu Feng nodded.
"Tsk, isn't he just a night watchman? Why does Master care so much about him?" Qiu Sheng whispered to Wen Cai.
"That's right, that's right." Wen Cai nodded.
Wu Feng heard them and ignored them.
" Village Chief," Ninth Uncle said," tell us about the situation. What's going on with the man-eating tree in your village?"”
The village chief nodded and said,""This happened half a month ago. There were people in the village who didn't return home at night. The next morning, they found this person lying under the big locust tree at the village entrance. When he woke up, he felt weak as if he was about to die. At first, no one paid much attention to it. However, for the next few days, people would disappear in the middle of the night every day. The next day, they would be found under the tree. Moreover, every person would be extremely weak or unconscious when they woke up.”
"Then, a child in the village said that he sneaked out with the other children in the village to hunt birds at night. He saw with his own eyes that the big locust tree at the village entrance was eating people. It opened a dark hole and swallowed a man.”
Hearing this, Ninth Uncle pondered and touched his chin. He said,"Hmm…take me to see those people.”
Wu Feng also followed.
At the same time, a voice sounded in Wu Feng's mind.
"Congratulations on completing the mission. The mission reward is 500 merit points and 10 essence refining stones.”
Wu Feng smiled and said nothing. Then, he secretly said,"Use ten Essence Refining Stones to strengthen the Soul Suppressing Gongs and Soul Suppressing Hammers.”
These two magic tools were Wu Feng's main tools, so it was only right to strengthen them.
The Soul Suppressing Gong and Soul Suppressing Hammer had been strengthened five times each, and they looked even more lustrous, like two pieces of artwork.
"Ding…Enhancement successful. Soul Suppressing Gong has been upgraded to a Spiritual Tool.”
"Ding…Enhancement successful, Soul Suppressing Hammer upgraded to a Spiritual Tool.”
Spirit weapons were things that surpassed magic tools. To cultivators, they were rare and good things.
Even Ninth Uncle only had a few enchanted magic tools and only a few spirit tools.
Wu Feng and Ninth Uncle followed the village chief to see the people who had been "eaten" by the tree.
They were all lying at home in a deep sleep. Only a few of them were still conscious, but they were so weak that they could not even speak a complete sentence.
"A large amount of Yang Qi was absorbed." Wu Feng said after taking a look.
Ninth Uncle nodded and said," That's right. It seems that the big locust tree has become a spirit. It's absorbing Yang qi to cultivate. Let's go and take a look. If it doesn't work, we'll get rid of the big locust tree."”
"Yes." Wu Feng nodded.
Soon, Wu Feng and Ninth Uncle arrived at the village entrance under the guidance of the village chief. They saw the man-eating locust tree.
This large locust tree looked like it had been around for a long time. Its trunk was thick and strong, and its branches were luxuriant. It was like a demon.
Uncle Nine frowned and said," The locust tree is the embodiment of Yin and attracts ghosts. That's why it's called the ghost tree. It's not a good thing that such a big locust tree is standing at the entrance of the village."”
The village chief of Huangjiatun sighed and said,"This locust tree has been rooted here for many years. The rules passed down by our ancestors say that this locust tree cannot be touched. When something happened not long ago, I also thought of going against the ancestral teachings and cutting down this locust tree. However, I was afraid that the locust tree had a spirit and would take revenge on us, so I asked Ninth Uncle to help.”
Ninth Uncle walked around the locust tree.
Wu Feng also walked forward and reached out to touch the trunk of the locust tree. A cool aura came over.
"Little brother, what do you think?" Ninth Uncle walked over and asked.
" Yin Qi is circulating inside," Wu Feng said." This locust tree is quite powerful. It can gather ghosts."”
Ninth Uncle also touched the trunk of the locust tree and nodded. He said,"You're right. This locust tree has really become something. Village Chief, go and call some people to prepare to cut down the trees. I will open the altar and do some magic. When the tree spirit appears, I will disperse it. This way, the tree demon won't take revenge on you.”
"Alright." The village chief nodded.
Not long after, a few people came to the village with iron saws and axes, ready to cut down the trees.
However, these people were more or less afraid and did not dare to approach. They stood on the spot and whispered.
"Everyone, don't worry. It's broad daylight now. The tree demon won't dare to cause trouble. Moreover, everyone shouldn't be afraid of being retaliated. With Ninth Uncle here, we'll definitely be safe.”The Huangjiatun Village Chief encouraged these people.
In the end, these people made up their minds and gritted their teeth. They immediately began to cut down the trees.
After all, this concerned the peace of their village. If the tree demon was not eliminated, there would never be peace. No one knew who would be eaten by the tree in the next moment.
"F * ck! With Ninth Uncle here, there's no need to be afraid. Everyone, attack!”
Immediately, everyone held their tools and prepared to cut down the big locust tree.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
At this moment, a flock of crows flew over from nowhere. They were a large black mass and pecked fiercely at the people present. The villagers were so frightened that they cried out and retreated one by one. Their expressions changed.
"Strange, really strange. These crows seem to be stopping us.”
"Crows are evil creatures. They are unlucky. Damn it! Damn it!"
The villagers who were ready to cut down the trees shouted and waved the tools in their hands to chase away the crows.
However, these crows seemed to be fearless. They pecked fiercely at everyone, but they could not be driven away.
Very quickly, many people's faces were injured by the crows 'claws or pecks.
"Ninth Uncle, what should we do now?" The village chief hid behind Ninth Uncle and said.
Ninth Uncle frowned with his hands behind his back. Looks like this matter isn't simple."
"Clang!"
At this moment, a gong sounded, accompanied by a loud shout,"Sound the Soul Suppressing Gong, gods and ghosts retreat!"
Hualala!
In an instant, the crows all flew away in one direction.
Only then did everyone turn around to look at Wu Feng. He was holding the Soul Suppressing Gong and Soul Suppressing Hammer, standing there majestically. The black cloak on his body fluttered even though there was no wind. He looked indescribably handsome.
