Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Bleeding Locust Tree_1

You had to figure out what that thing was under the locust tree, but again, you had some misgivings.

If it were any other tree, that would be fine, but this, unfortunately, is a locust tree, and that’s seriously creepy, too creepy!

If only you could con some idiot into chopping the tree down—oh, speaking of idiots, there actually was one!

"Yo, it must be the cream of the crop from Jiang University, up bright and early."

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Not far off, Xu Junjie sauntered over with a few others in tow, his voice arriving before he did; just listening to his tone made you want to punch him, and that look on his face made you want to press it straight into a pile of cow dung!

Soon, Du Xishan and Sun Lin arrived one after another.

Seeing that everyone had more or less arrived, the corner of your mouth curled slightly, heh, the plan begins!

Well, if you want to provoke someone through words, or encourage them to do something, you have to understand their temperament first.

Xu Junjie is a typical Eastern Sea sissy, the kind of mama’s boy and whiner.

Such people have an incredibly strong sense of self-esteem and can’t stand the slightest slight, always insisting on an eye for an eye. Accidentally offend him in conversation, and he’d want to burn your house down.

Of course, such people are also the easiest to incite.

The highest realm of instigation is to speak so that everyone hears your words, but letting them believe that you’re not the instigator!

So, even if the provoked person goes to jump off a cliff or ****, it has nothing to do with you.

You first approach Fan Yi, gently straighten her slightly messy hair with your hand, and in a soft tone, you say, "You didn’t sleep well last night, did you?"

Fan Yi hangs her head low, not understanding or knowing the intention behind your actions, but she knows that whatever you do, you have your reasons, and she just needs to go along with your motions.

"Hmph!"

Xu Junjie lets out a cold snort.

"What are you snorting for? If you have the guts, go steal her back yourself. Really, all you know how to do is snort like a woman all day long."

At that moment, a girl from Eastern Sea University starts stirring the pot.

This stirs a spark, and another girl immediately adds fuel to the fire: "Exactly, that sophomore was so infatuated with him at first. Always ’senior’ this and ’senior’ that, tsk tsk, so sweet. But after actually getting to know him, oops, tsk tsk tsk."

"Right, right, right. I’ve heard that girl later gave him a wide berth whenever she saw him and absolutely forbade her boyfriend from getting close to him, saying that if he did, his ’thing’ down there would end up bending."

"You... you guys..."

"What, you wanna hit someone? Come on, hit me! Right here!" The two girls stick out their chests, showcasing the brazen spirit of Eastern Sea girls.

Speaking of which, these two girls were totally charmed by you last night, nearly giving themselves to you.

This makes things easy for you; they never got along with Xu Junjie, disliked him a lot, and now that Xu Junjie has turned his sights on you, of course, they’re not having it.

But don’t ever underestimate the nagging of Eastern Sea girls; their words cut like knives, each sentence piercing to the heart!

Xu Junjie was embarrassed to have been scared by the locust tree, and his classmates made fun of him, so in a huff, he grabbed an axe and chopped at the tree, which then bled!

"I... I damn!"

Xu Junjie was so frustrated, with nowhere to direct his anger, he stomped his feet in rage.

Just then, two of Xu Junjie’s friends came over with a shovel, and something snapped in him. He yelled out and charged towards them.

Before they could react, Xu Junjie snatched the shovel from their hands and plunged it viciously into the trunk of the old locust tree!

"Die! Die! Die!"

Xu Junjie, with a shovel in his hands, desperately jabbed at the ancient locust tree.

The onlookers shook their heads and smiled bitterly, all thinking that Xu Junjie had lost face for Eastern Sea University.

"Ah—"

Another sharp cry!

Just as Sun Lin and the others had turned to walk away, they whirled back to find Xu Junjie slumped on the ground, covered in blood!

"Blood! Blood!"

Xu Junjie’s whole body trembled, and he desperately rubbed his blood-stained hands on the weeds on the ground, trying to wipe off the blood.

"Where’s the blood from? Junjie, are you hurt?"

Sun Lin and a few other boys hurried over, but after Sun Lin’s careful examination, he found no wounds on Xu Junjie’s body.

"What’s going on? Where’s the blood from?"

"Prof, Professor, this tree, this tree..."

One of the boys pointed at the ancient locust tree, too terrified to finish his sentence.

Sun Lin and the others turned to look and were horrified to find that the ancient locust tree was actually bleeding!

A tree bleeding!?

How bizarre was that!

All present involuntarily shivered at first, while your eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, a serious expression spreading across your face.

"It’s impossible for a tree to bleed; this must be someone’s sick joke!"

Sun Lin, of course, didn’t believe it, and as he was about to touch the fresh blood flowing from the locust tree, you urgently cried out, "Don’t touch it!"

You quickly stepped forward, glanced at the lifeless Xu Junjie with a sigh, "Tough luck, kid."

"Professor Sun, please step back first, and clean the blood off him." Saying this, you took out a Cinnabar Talisman from your pocket and handed it to Sun Lin, "Once he’s cleaned up, burn this talisman in his tent. He should be fine after staying inside the tent for half a day."

Sun Lin seemed hesitant, but Du Xishan patted his shoulder at that moment, nodding at him.

"Alright, thank you very much."

As two people supported the incapacitated Xu Junjie away, you suddenly became the center of everyone’s attention.

"Everyone step back for now, and keep a certain distance from this locust tree."

At your command, all quickly retreated.

Looking at you, Du Xishan asked, "Mu Yun, are you confident?"

You shrugged and smiled, "At this point, even if we’re not, we have to pretend we are. This tree is the key to the village’s desolation; as long as we figure out why the locust tree is bleeding, we should know why the village was abandoned."

As you spoke, you took out eight Cinnabar Talismans and placed them around the tree. Then, you formed three hand seals in succession and sharply commanded, "Begin!"

All eight Cinnabar Talismans simultaneously burst into flames.

To the surprise and curiosity of those watching, the ashes of the burning Talisman Papers began to float up. Guided by some force, they ultimately converged into a mysterious Magic Seal above the top of the locust tree.

No sooner had the Magic Seal formed than a chilling sight startled everyone—the locust tree let out an even more pitiable wail!

Anger, terror, hatred—emotions entwined within the howl shot straight to the heavens, promptly turning the Eastern Sea University faculty pale with fear at this unprecedented spectacle.

Subsequently, the ancient locust tree began to shake violently, and as it trembled, leaves and branches continuously fell. Simultaneously, with the falling foliage, torrents of fresh blood splattered down!
