Chapter 346: Chiba Forest, Wood Spirit Appears [Subscribe]

However, after Zhou Chun separated from Zhang Liang, the young cultivator from the Shen Kingdom, he headed straight towards the Thousand Leaf Forest that the other party had mentioned.

The temptation of Mu Mei was so great that Zhou Chun thought it was totally worth spending some time on it.

If they could tame a wood ghost, even if Yangguo lost the Earth Yuan Crystal Jade mine, it would still be a sure win.

Moreover, based on Zhou Chun's understanding of Lin Wan'er, after knowing that the Zhou family would send people to help, she would definitely try her best to stabilize the situation and it would be impossible for her to let the stronghold fall into chaos so quickly.

After traveling for most of the day, Zhou Chun arrived outside the Qianye Forest of Shen State.

The Chiba Forest is indeed a fertile land. Its terrain is generally flat, and there are many lush deciduous broad-leaved trees growing on it. Many of the trees are so thick that they require several people to hug them.

But because this place is too fertile, it is difficult for mortals to cultivate it into good farmland.

Without the large machines like the ones Zhou Chun had in his previous life, it was too difficult for mortals to repeatedly clear away the overgrown trees and weeds.

Therefore, this fertile land still maintains its original ecology.

Zhou Chun arrived here riding on his spirit pet, so his personal magic power and energy were still sufficient.

After arriving at the place, he dismounted and went into the forest alone.

The young monk Zhang Liang only knew that a wood ghost had appeared in the Qianye Forest, but he didn't know where it appeared. The Qianye Forest was so large that it was impossible for Zhou Chun to search for it foot by foot.

So he now has to find those Huang family monks who are aware of the situation, find out the area where the wood spirit is active from the movements of those Huang family monks, and then look for an opportunity to capture the wood spirit.

When it comes to capturing the wood spirit, Zhou Chun still has a clear advantage.

Among the five elements, metal overcomes wood. As he practices the top metal technique "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art", as long as he can fight with the wood spirit face to face, he will have a good chance of trapping the opponent and making it difficult for the opponent's wood escape technique to work.

But I’m afraid that the wood spirit will be frightened and run away as soon as it sees people.

Zhou Chun now only hopes that the cultivators from the Huang family will not do anything stupid and use some extreme means to deal with Mu Mei.

Qianye Forest is the main activity place for the independent cultivators from the Shen State. While traveling in it, Zhou Chun encountered many independent cultivators from the Shen State who were in the Qi Refining Stage.

Relying on his powerful spiritual sense, he did not meet those people face to face, nor did he want to find those people to inquire about the whereabouts of the Huang family cultivators. He just searched for the target alone.

After searching in the forest for more than a day, Zhou Chun finally found the trace of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. If his guess was correct, he should be from the Huang family.

For him, it would be easy if he could find the person.

When the man paused for a moment, he released dozens of "Black Armor Golden Feather" demon insects and contaminated them with the butterfly powder of "Blue Moon Butterfly".

Then he used the "Insect Puppet Technique" to possess a demon insect and controlled dozens of demon insects to attack the Huang family cultivator who was in the early stage of foundation building.

Because Zhou Chun's cultivation and spiritual awareness were much stronger than that of the Huang family cultivator, he deliberately controlled dozens of demon insects to rush out from underground in the forest, so that the Huang family cultivator did not think that he was ambushed by the cultivator, but only thought that he had broken into the insect nest and alarmed the demon insects.

So the man immediately retreated quickly and wanted to leave the nearby area, but the mature "Mysterious Armor Golden Feather" was so fast that he couldn't get rid of it at all.

Soon these evil insects posed a great threat to him. During the battle, more than a dozen of them took the opportunity to bite through his protective shield, bit off more than a dozen pieces of his flesh, and left the "Blue Moon Butterfly" powder on his body.

After the mission was completed, the demon insect, under Zhou Chun's control, slowly stopped chasing the Huang family cultivator and let him leave.

Then Zhou Chun released the "Blue Moon Butterfly", which slowly hung behind the man, secretly following him to find other Huang family monks.

Not long after, Zhou Chun located the Huang family cultivator who had stopped moving, and used the "Insect Puppet Technique" to detect and discover the traces of other Huang family foundation-building cultivators.

After finding several Huang family cultivators, Zhou Chun was almost certain that the area he was currently in was the area where the wood ghost appeared.

However, in order to obtain more useful information, he still used the "Insect Puppetry Technique" to attach his mind to a "Blue Moon Butterfly", and let the demon insect slowly approach to see if he could eavesdrop on any news.

In addition to illusion, the "Blue Moon Butterfly" also has a strong camouflage ability.

They can temporarily transform into a moth with blue-black wings. They are inconspicuous in the forest and have a relatively weak scent.

This is a perfect time to get close to the Huang family.

The Huang family seemed to be prepared for a protracted war and actually built a small camp in the forest.

But they are not like Zhou Chun, who has a purification stone jar in his hand and can meditate in the wild at any time to restore his mana. They can only take Huiyuan Dan to restore the consumed mana.

The "Blue Moon Butterfly" that Zhou Chun's mind was attached to was flying slowly close to the forest ground. It took a long time before it slowly flew outside the camp.

Regarding the approaching moth, some Huang family monks in the camp took a few more glances at it, but ultimately did not pay too much attention to it.

After all, there are many kinds of butterflies in the forest. Although this moth is quite large, it is alone and does not seem to pose any threat.

After all, insect cultivators are still too rare in the world of immortal cultivation, and many immortal cultivators lack vigilance in this regard.

This allowed Zhou Chun to quickly overhear the conversation between several Huang family cultivators.

Excluding some irrelevant words, Zhou Chun roughly understood three points about Mu Mei from the conversation between several Huang family cultivators.

First, Mu Mei has the ability to injure cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, and its actual strength is estimated to be comparable to that of a second-level top-grade monster.

Second, the wood spirit takes the form of a deer demon.

Third, Mu Mei’s true form has not yet been found.

After learning about these situations, Zhou Chun felt a little relieved.

He was afraid that the Huang family had already found Mu Mei's true form, which would be very troublesome.

You must know that although the wood ghost is bred by the spirit of the ancient tree, it is able to break free from the constraints of the body and move freely.

But most wood ghosts will not stray too far from the main body and will always live in the forest near the main body.

Moreover, when the main body is threatened, Mu Mei will try his best to protect it at all costs.

If the Huang family finds the location of Mu Mei's real body, then they can force Mu Mei to show up automatically by taking actions to destroy Mu Mei's real body.

Then Zhou Chun would have no chance to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

After all, the Huang family's supreme elder was at the middle stage of the Purple Mansion cultivation base, and was definitely not someone he could handle.

After that, Zhou Chun did not continue to eavesdrop, but began to look for the real body of the wood ghost.

The wood ghost has a strong sense of danger and the ability to hide in the forest. Now that it is disturbed by human cultivators, it will definitely choose to hide from Zhou Chun, a cultivator in the late foundation building stage.

It is very unrealistic to expect to find and capture the wood spirit.

Zhou Chun's only chance to catch Mu Mei was to find its true form and force it to show up and attack him. But finding Mu Mei's true form was not an easy task.

The ancient tree that gave birth to the wood spirit will return to being ordinary, just like an ordinary big tree after the wood spirit separates from its body.

Therefore, every ancient tree in this forest may be the real body of the wood ghost.

At this time, Zhou Chun could only use a stupid method to find Mu Mei's true form.

He released a large number of "Black Armor Golden Feather" monster insects, letting them take a few bites of every ancient tree they passed by.

"Xuanjia Jinyu" is a golden demon insect that likes to suck tree sap. It is extremely harmful to these ancient trees and can be said to be the natural enemy of ancient trees.

The wounds of ancient trees bitten by them are difficult to heal, and some areas will directly become necrotic.

If Mu Mei's body is bitten, Mu Mei will definitely sense it and rush to protect its body.

Although there are many ancient trees in the forest, Zhou Chun also has a large number of demon insects. Although this method is a bit stupid, it is also very practical.

However, Zhou Chun thought that his move was powerful enough, but he still underestimated the Huang family's courage and bottom line.

The very day after he eavesdropped on the conversation of the Huang family cultivators, the Huang family cultivators set fire to the area where the wood spirit was active!

They tried to use large-scale arson to find the location of Mu Mei's real body and force Mu Mei to show up!

Such behavior is truly bold and presumptuous.

You should know that the Qianye Forest is an important resource area of ​​the Shen Kingdom. There are countless independent cultivators who rely on this place for their livelihood.

This arson will have a devastating impact on all the resources in the forest. If the fire spreads too much, the entire Chiba Forest may be burned down!
When the news leaks out, the Huang family will definitely be criticized and retaliated against by the angry independent cultivators, and may even be abandoned by the sects they depend on.

But we have to admit that arson is indeed the simplest and most effective method.

This fire will not only force the wood spirit to show up, but also make it difficult for the wood spirit to use the wood escape technique. The power of other wood magic will also be greatly reduced.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun no longer tried to find a needle in a haystack. He simply collected the monster insect, flew into the air, and followed the sea of ​​fire to search for the trace of the wood spirit.

Unexpectedly, before Mu Mei noticed, his figure had already been seen by the monks of the Huang family.

Immediately, a foundation-building cultivator from the Huang family flew towards him, and said to him from a distance, "Daoyou, please stay. The Huang family of Huangshi Mountain is hunting for a wanted criminal here. Please move somewhere else and don't cause any misunderstandings!"

"Can you set fire to the forest just to hunt down a wanted criminal? The Huang family is really too bold!"

Zhou Chun looked at the Huang family cultivator opposite him with a gloomy face and a very impolite tone.

This attitude made the Huang family cultivator on the opposite side a little timid, and he immediately explained: "Your Excellency has misunderstood, we did not deliberately set fire to the forest, it was just the aftermath of the battle that ignited the forest, and we will put out this fire quickly, and will never let it spread!"

At this point, as if afraid that Zhou Chun might not believe him, he continued, "The Grand Elder of my Huang family is also here. If you don't believe me, you can go with me to confront him in person."

How could Zhou Chun possibly go to see the Huang family's mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator? He also knew that the other party said this deliberately to hint him not to cause trouble.

Therefore, he quickly waved his hand and said, "There is no need for a confrontation. I just hope that the Huang family can really grasp the limit as Daoyou said. Otherwise, if the situation gets out of hand, it will be too late to regret it!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

After watching his figure disappear into the sky, the Huang family cultivator went back to report.

However, after Zhou Chun left, he walked towards the fire area from the ground.

This time, Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to take off to check the situation in the fire area. He just stared at the Huang family monks floating in the sky.

If the Wood Demon appears, those Huang family cultivators will definitely take action.

Perhaps it was the warning given by Zhou Chun before that made the Huang family monks worried. They were also deliberately controlling the direction of the fire by casting spells to bring rain, so as to prevent the fire from spreading outside the area they had designated.

At the same time, the monsters in the forest were also taking the initiative to put out the fire.

I saw a group of rock-armored pig monsters cast the "Rock Armor Technique" on themselves, then rushed into the fire area, knocked down the burning trees, and then put out the fire.

There was also a group of demon monkeys leading a large number of monkeys to put out the fire with branches.

These monsters love the home where they live very much and want to do their best to save it.

However, if we talk about who loves this forest the most, it is obviously the wood spirit.

The wood spirit can be said to be the darling of the forest and the son of the forest. It is undoubtedly the most disgusted and angry about this large-scale destruction of the forest.

Not long after, its figure appeared in the burning forest.

I saw a green deer galloping through the forest. Wherever it passed, trees and weeds quickly withered and died, turning into rotten wood fragments scattered all over the ground.

And bits of emerald green light emanated from the trees and weeds and were all absorbed into the green deer's body.

In the blink of an eye, a barrier more than ten feet wide appeared in the area where the green deer ran.

This scene was inconspicuous at first, but when the isolation zone became dozens of miles long, it became very conspicuous when viewed from the air.

A cultivator from the Huang family who had been watching from high in the sky saw this scene and excitedly raised his hand to light the fireworks that signaled the arrival of the news.

Boom!

When the roar and explosion of the news fireworks sounded in the sky, Zhou Chun, who was not far away, also saw it.

He immediately realized the meaning of the fireworks without thinking, and then quickly rushed there.

Not long after, Zhou Chun saw the long isolation belt and the green deer running tirelessly.

"It strips away the vitality of plants and trees, causing them to quickly wither and form a natural isolation zone. It is indeed a monster bred by the creation of heaven and earth. This spiritual wisdom is indeed incomparable to that of ordinary monsters!"

Zhou Chun's eyes sparkled, and he was quite amazed at the wisdom displayed by Qinglu.

But even though Qinglu was smart, he was fooled by humans this time.

The isolation zone it created is actually completely useless. If the Huang family cultivators want to, they can immediately cross the isolation zone and set another fire.

What it is doing now is ultimately futile.

But is this really the case?

Just when Zhou Chun was about to take down the green deer before the Huang family's Purple Mansion cultivator arrived, he made a surprising discovery that quickly stopped him in his tracks!
