The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 665 Charge out, this tree has become a spirit!

"There's blood here!"

Someone shouted in the distance, instantly attracting everyone's attention, and then they all flew over.

This was a fairly flat bluestone slab, with a patch of blood splattered on it, but otherwise there were no other obvious traces.

Chen Bingquan frowned and looked around, remaining silent.

Murong Feng offered his opinion: "Judging from the smoothness of this stone slab, there are faint traces of someone sitting on it. Perhaps the person seeking help was resting or cultivating on this stone slab when they were suddenly attacked. Caught off guard, the person only had time to send out a distress signal before being killed..."

Someone asked, "But there are no signs of a battle. This place is very spacious on all sides. If there were any attacking monsters, they should have been discovered, or at least left some signs of a battle."

Murong Feng answered decisively, "If it was a demonic beast that attacked, his corpse would probably have been eaten directly. If it wasn't a demonic beast, his corpse would naturally have been put into a spatial ring and taken away."

Su Mubai frowned: "You mean, the attackers were cultivators?"

“In the cave heaven, everyone is bound by rules and restrictions, so naturally they won’t fight or kill each other at the drop of a hat. But in this secret realm, there are no rules to restrain people. It’s not uncommon for someone to obtain a valuable natural treasure and then be killed and robbed.”

Murong Feng stated his opinion with conviction: "Perhaps the person who made the move was a fellow disciple or traveler of the person seeking help. The attacker was envious of what the person seeking help had obtained, and took advantage of their unpreparedness to suddenly kill them. The person seeking help subconsciously released a distress signal, and the killer, in a panic, quickly put the body into his spatial ring and ran away."

Someone asked, "Uncle Chen, what do we do now?"

Chen Bingquan said in a deep voice, "Search again. If we still can't find it, then abandon the search and rescue..."

Before Chen Bingquan could finish speaking, he suddenly turned and stared at a certain spot on a large tree in the distance. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his gaze seemed almost tangible. He shouted sharply, "Who's there?"

Lin Chen turned his head immediately and saw a corner of the clothes disappear into the dense bushes and vanish instantly.

Lin Chen's heart tightened. Someone had been watching them all this time without them noticing. Was that person the murderer?
Chen Bingquan took off immediately, his figure as fast as lightning, and instantly approached the bushes. He reached out with one hand and shouted angrily, "Who are you, you scoundrel? Come out here!"

As Chen Bingquan made his grab, spiritual energy surged like a raging torrent, and a giant hand of light, hundreds of meters long, instantly appeared in the air, grabbing directly down at the clump of trees with astonishing power.

"Wow!"

Tree trunks snapped and leaves shattered into dust, clearing out an area within a hundred meters, yet no one was seen retaliating or escaping.

Chen Bingquan frowned, his flying sword flew out, circled in front of him, and then he flew into the tree to search for the other party's trace.

Lin Chen and the others kept their eyes scanning the towering tree, searching for any possible traces. Lin Chen's gaze shifted, but he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

He suddenly looked up, his expression changing drastically.

This towering tree was already so dense that it blocked out the sun, covering at least half of the valley. But now, looking up, countless trunks and branches stretched out, completely blocking out the entire sky.

Lin Chen looked at Chen Bingquan again and found that behind Chen Bingquan, countless tree trunks were extending, and the red roots seemed to have suddenly come to life, swaying gently like algae, silently.

Not only Lin Chen, but everyone else also witnessed this terrifying scene. Murong Feng shouted, "Uncle-Master, be careful! There's something strange about this big tree; it's alive!"

Just as Murong Feng shouted, the tree branches that had been silently extending in the air suddenly accelerated, and the floating tree roots suddenly straightened, with the tips of the roots shooting towards Chen Bingquan like arrows.

Chen Bingquan was taken aback. A spiritual energy shield suddenly appeared around him, and his flying sword flew out rapidly, slashing at the branches that stretched out like snake heads. At the same time, he threw his right hand, and a bunch of explosive talismans flew in all directions like thousands of birds leaving their caves.

After the explosive talisman flew out, Chen Bingquan whispered, "Explode!"

"boom!"

"Boom!"

Hundreds of explosive talismans were detonated simultaneously, each talisman equivalent to the full-force attack of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. This was equivalent to the combined full-force attack of hundreds of peak Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The massive explosion and boundless flames instantly engulfed an area of ​​hundreds of meters, turning countless roots into ashes and breaking countless branches.

Countless groans seemed to echo in the air, creating an incredibly eerie scene.

Chen Bingquan shouted, "Charge out! This tree has become a spirit!"

Lin Chen wanted to slap himself. Was his mouth blessed?
I just said that it was old enough to be a spirit, and I never expected it to actually become one!

With a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert in charge, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The thought had barely crossed Lin Chen's mind when Chen Bingquan's scream suddenly rang out in the air.
