Wanyao Youyun

The group spread out and protected Yin Dong in the middle. After walking forward for a while, apart from the spiritual herbs around, there was not even a single ferocious beast. Some people had gradually relaxed their vigilance and were no longer so cautious.

"what!"

There was a scream behind us, but when we turned around, we saw nothing. We looked at each other, confused.

"There are bloodstains on the ground." Feng Huan discovered through his Hexu Star Pupil that there were a few drops of fresh blood in the soil behind him.

"Lao Zhang is missing. He was just behind me!" another person shouted.

"Are you sure he came in?"

"Of course, I've been on many missions with him, so that's why we're together."

"Let's count the number of people first?" Yin Dong said.

"Nineteen. There are only nineteen people left except Yin Dong. As expected, one person is missing."

"The blood on the ground is fresh. It hasn't coagulated yet and it's still warm." Someone came forward to check the blood on the ground and said.

"How is this possible? We didn't see any beasts, nor did we hear any other sounds. Did any of you hear any other sounds?"

Everyone was silent, obviously not hearing anything, and Feng Huan was no exception.

"Let's keep going!" Since he had no clue, Yin Dong decided to take it one step at a time. Someone had just died when he came in, and Yin Dong felt a little indignant, and his face became even gloomier.

His mother was a slave, and she came from the lowest family of miners in the Yin family. Her family had no power, and she had no chance to become a concubine. It was just that when the current master was young and was on duty in the mine, he saw that she was a bit pretty, so he summoned her to serve as a plaything to kill time. Unexpectedly, she became pregnant with the master's child, so he had no choice but to take her back. But he never saw her again, and no one liked her. It was not until she gave birth to Yin Dong that her status was slightly improved.

After Yin Dong awakened his talent for pharmaceutical manufacturing two years ago, he thought the situation would improve, but instead he encountered even stronger suppression from his direct lineage.

This trial was also an opportunity given to him by the head of the Yin family for the sake of their father-son relationship. However, the power of the direct lineage in the family is deeply rooted, so how could they allow him to turn things around like this? No one in the family was willing to stand on his side and give him any help. The guards assigned to him were all in the early stage of Tongliu Realm, and were also people who were squeezed out by various factions. And no one provided him with any information about the ancestral land, otherwise, he would not know anything about it. The ancestral land has been opened more than once or twice, and the situation inside must be relatively clear. Yin Wei's side would definitely not be like theirs, where people died without knowing how they died.

Only the Yin family knew the inside story, and the ten hired people knew nothing. If they knew this was the case, no one would take on this task.

Sometimes a piece of inside information can change your life.

This time everyone was on high alert, if for no other reason than that no one wanted to die inexplicably like Lao Zhang.

"what!"

After a moment of silence, another scream was heard from the left side of the team. But this time, because everyone was so nervous, someone saw what happened.

"Tell me quickly, what did you see?" Yin Dong asked impatiently.

"I... I only saw a few long green shadows flash by, and the person on my left disappeared!" The man said in a trembling voice, "It looked a bit like a few long whips."

"Didn't you see any humans or beasts?"

"No?"

"It's not a human, nor an animal, so what could it be? Has anyone heard of it during your training outside?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Someone walked to the place where the man disappeared, groped around for a while, then leaned closer to sniff carefully, and finally said with a frown: "Apart from the breath of that man just now and the breath of the spiritual herbs here, there is no other breath here." This person was born sensitive to various breaths, and had found many treasures through this ability.

"Let's speed up! Tighten the ranks, take out your weapons, and be ready to fight at any time!"

Everyone took out their weapons and continued to move forward. Feng Huan also held the knife in his hand. The last time the knife was broken by you, the Third Young Master, Hua Luzhu gave him a middle-grade red copper knife. After all, many people have seen his life-threatening dragon, so he can't just take it out casually.

He also didn't dare to use his body skills to avoid the difference in body speed causing the distance between people to become too large, which would make it too late to rescue when danger occurred.

With everyone so nervous, the entire ancestral land became unusually quiet. Everyone could almost hear each other's breathing, and the so-called green whip shadow did not appear again. But the problem was that this forest was really endless. After walking for most of the day, they still couldn't get out, and they had no direction. The direction they were heading now was just based on the direction of the corridor when they first came in, and they were not sure whether they could eventually reach the inheritance land.

Feng Huan opened his Hexu Star Pupil and scanned the surroundings continuously. Suddenly, he caught sight of several green shadows in front of him on the right side. The colors blended with the environment and were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

The shadows were not moving very fast at first, so there was no sound at all. When they were still several feet away from the crowd, they suddenly accelerated and rushed straight towards the person who was sensitive to the breath.

"Whoosh!"

"careful!"

Feng Huan used the light and shadow escape to pass the people nearby, and slashed at the green strips with one sword and ten shadows.

"Crack!"

"what!"

With one knife, the shadow seemed to be cut into several pieces and then disappeared in an instant.

"Thank you for saving my life, brother." The man, still in shock, quickly turned around and bowed to Feng Huan. "My name is Wen Xiaofeng. From now on, my life belongs to you. May I know your name, benefactor?"

"Brother Wen, there is no need to be like this. I'm Yuebing and we are all teammates. It's only right that we look after each other." Feng Huan had no choice but to temporarily change his name.

"Let's see what it is first!"

Everyone gathered around and saw several branch-like objects on the ground. One end was very smooth, as if it had been cut by a knife, and there was a layer of green juice on the cross section, while the other end was thorn-like.

Wen Xiaofeng lowered his head to pick up a piece and handed it to Feng Huan. It really felt like wood, with a rough surface and a very hard texture. If the sharp end was stabbed into a person's body with force, it would definitely pierce through.

"Has anyone seen this thing?" Feng Huan didn't have much experience in this area, so he still had to ask other people.

"I once saw a story in an ancient book, but I'm not sure if it's true." One of them said after a moment's hesitation.

"Tell us what you think first, so we can all take it as a reference."

"It's about a tree that absorbed too much of the essence of the stars and the moon. Somehow, it turned into a human. Because it was a tree, it didn't have human emotions. Once this tree-man appeared, it killed innocent people everywhere without any scruples, plundered cultivation resources, and even didn't spare ordinary people, causing chaos in the world. Later, a strong man took action to wipe it out."

"No way! You mean that trees can also cultivate into humans?"

"There are so many trees here, so we have no way to survive!"

"It is definitely not easy for this tree to cultivate. It requires various coincidences to be created. The environment here is so good, maybe it is possible, but even if there are such tree people here, there can't be too many." said someone who is good at analysis.

Everyone thought what he said made sense and nodded.

"Now that we know what's causing it, we have a way to deal with it."

"Trees are afraid of fire no matter what. Those of us who have awakened the power of the fire element are its natural enemies."

"That makes sense. If anyone has awakened the power of the fire element, please come out now. I'd like to trouble you to put in more effort." Yin Dong immediately said to everyone.

"I!"

"And I!"

As expected, the power of the fire element is the easiest to awaken, and there are many of them among ordinary cultivators.

"Okay, now that we have the power of the fire element, the next step is to find it. We will form a siege formation and cut down all the trees we encounter while advancing forward. If we find anything suspicious, we will immediately attack it with fire essence." Since they have found the direction, these people are quite experienced.

You and I talked a little and finally decided on the plan to deal with the enemy.
