It is said that God loves the world.
But Lin Fan felt that no matter how much he prayed to the gods, he still had to solve the problem himself in the end.
The gods are probably the most unreliable group in the world.
"Sister Xu, no." Lin Fan said with a sullen face, looking at the ugly woman in the distance whose expression remained unchanged, "Don't even think about sacrificing yourself. I won't accept that."
Even if the ugly woman said that there was no harm, Lin Fan would still have to think again and again, wondering whether he was lying to them, let alone killing the person directly.
"Don't worry, I'm not that great." Sister Xu was actually amused by Lin Fan in such a tense moment, but quickly regained her composure. "This guy's personality... seems quite naive..."
"Is this naive? It all depends on people's brains?!" Lin Fan couldn't help but refute.
"That's right," Wu Yusen interrupted. "Back then, their sense of right and wrong, their values, were different from ours. Plus, the clowns themselves held considerable status, so it was normal for them to not care about the lives of a few people."
"It's just like when you look at ants," Sister Xu added. "You feel sorry for the difficulty the ants have in moving, but when you kill them, how much hesitation and pity do you have?"
Lin Fan suddenly felt guilty when he thought about how he poured water into an ant hole when he was a child, unknowingly killing the ants.
"So she probably thinks we are the same as ants. In the final analysis, we can't really blame her. The gap in strength is there. She didn't start a fight from the beginning and has been talking to us in a nice tone until now. It's already good enough." John Woo sighed.
How could it be so easy to deal with an old monster that has lived for thousands of years?
Not to mention others, even the eldest brother and the thousand-year-old master were difficult to deal with when we first met them!
He wasn't so optimistic at the beginning.
Although the current situation is not good, he feels relaxed in his heart that "this is the right way".
The ugly woman's hair was still clinging to the protective shield, with no sign of retraction. It seemed that she had not given up.
"How long can this protective shield last?" Lin Fan asked.
"If it's just like this, two hours will be no problem, but if she intensifies her offensive..." Before Sister Xu finished speaking, her hair was lifted up from the shield, leaning back like a human, and then whipped over fiercely.
Lin Fan could feel the ripples on the shield and the waves transmitted in the air.
"...It's hard to say." After Sister Xu finished speaking, she took out a talisman from the tip of her collar and slapped it out.
In an instant, a magical defense rose from the turbulent shield, and the fluctuations became much smaller.
"This is not a solution," said John Woo.
No matter how many defenses we have, they cannot be endless. We must find other ways to solve the problem.
"My Lady Ugly, we will tell you everything we know, no matter what you want to know. Why use such drastic measures?" Sister Xu spoke calmly and continued to work hard for her own personal safety.
"Slow down." The ugly woman responded slowly, as if she couldn't control the hair that kept attacking the three men.
Sister Xu can probably understand ugly women.
Reading the brain is a matter of stream of consciousness. The ugly woman may receive all the information in her mind in the blink of an eye. Questioning and answering will indeed take a lot of time.
But although we understand the logic, it is impossible not to fight.
The ugly woman's hair grew longer and longer, and her attacks became more and more fierce.
"Have you noticed? Her hair is growing longer." Lin Fan suddenly felt strange.
When on the isolated island, although the ugly woman's hair was long, it was only much longer than her body, about two meters at most.
But now, it extended from the island into the water, and then ran out of the water to their front and drew wildly. A rough calculation showed that the length was at least ten meters.
Did you take any hair growth supplements to make your hair grow so fast?
"You don't know. There used to be a saying that magic power is linked to the length of hair. In other words, the longer the hair, the stronger the power is usually." Sister Xu replied, looking at the few protective props left in her hand.
"So if you see a humanoid monster..." Sister Xu paused, realizing she'd made a mistake. "If it's a deity, first look at its hair. Generally speaking, the longer the hair, the more powerful its divine power, demonic power, magical power, or whatever it is."
"Then why her hair is so long..." Lin Fan curled his lips and complained in his heart, isn't this too amazing?
Wu Yusen also added, "I see her hair growing. Maybe it's the process of her magic power recovering? Before, when she was lying down, she seemed to have no strength, and it took her a long time to sit up. Now she's recovered like this... Could it be because of that tree?"
The three of them looked at the green tree in the center of the island.
I just thought it looked good before, and didn't connect it to this part.
Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Some of her hair was indeed sticking out from the tree, and some was hanging in the water. According to you, the tree gave her the ability to repair herself?"
"It's possible. Before she woke up, there was nothing growing on the tree. It's only after she woke up that the branches and leaves began to grow and shine." Sister Xu nodded. "She must have some connection with this tree. Let's try..."
Sister Xu didn't say anything more, but the other two knew that she was going to try to destroy the tree.
If the tree is chopped down, is it possible that the ugly woman will lie down again and fall into a deep sleep?
There was no way to investigate at this point, so they decided to give it a try first.
"Then go ahead. The best defense is offense." Sister Xu handed a few defensive charms to the other two. "Take them just in case. If your passport gets torn, I won't continue."
"Okay!" The two of them accepted it without saying much.
Lin Fan also had a defensive talisman in his pocket, but he didn't have time to look for it at this time, so he just took it from Sister Xu.
Her hair had become dense and curled up in the air, like silk blown by the wind.
John Woo replaced the gun with magic-breaking bullets and pulled out a dagger from his trouser leg with his left hand.
Compared to Lin Fan and Sister Xu, his defense is the weakest.
"Three." Sister Xu looked at the trembling protective shield and began to count down.
"Two." She pushed Lin Fan in front of John Woo.
"one!"
The moment the protective shield was broken, hair swarmed out.
Sister Xu held a white talisman between her fingers, her eyes wide open as she shouted, "Thunder!"
The moment the talisman was thrown into the air, a dazzling white light with a crackling sound instantly spread out in a circle with the three people in it. As the smell of burnt protein came, the hair stopped for a moment.
John Woo took the opportunity to activate the defensive talisman given by Sister Xu.
Lin Fan brandished his two swords and quickly cleared a vacuum zone around the three people.
The burnt hair all over the ground was blown up by the sword wind, and in the blink of an eye, the three of them had some space to breathe.
Lin Fan did not stop for a moment, he thrust his two swords together, combining them into a two-meter-long spear, and dragged the spear head in circles to roll outward.
In less than three seconds, there was no moving hair on the shore where they were, only burnt hair on the ground.
The ugly woman didn't expect that these little people could achieve this with just this little effort.
She slowly straightened her back, changing her previously relaxed sitting posture, and a serious look appeared in her indifferent eyes.
"I'm angry," she said.
The hair in the water suddenly rose up like a tsunami, like a whole dark wall, pressing towards the three people on the shore.
