At one o'clock in the morning, the cold dew fell, the moon sank into the clouds, and the earth was dark.

Two figures, walking through the darkness of the night, through the hidden woods, and then came to an irregular triangle.

Of these two figures, one is me.

The other is Chen Xuanyi.

We chose a higher place, and under the cover of night and the shade of the trees, we lowered our heads and looked down at the building not far away.

Late at night, when people are sleepy and quiet, there are dim lights in the buildings, and the night wind is howling, blowing the chandeliers in the open-air manor, and the lights are faintly flickering, reflecting the shadows of the swaying trees, and a few houses immersed in the night.

The botanical manor is very large, and there are a large number of vine vegetation planted in it, some of which are known and some of which are not, as if they are products from a foreign country.

Due to the distance, I didn't see much detail, and I was quite surprised, saying that it was strange why the Li family would build a Zhiwu Manor in such a place, could it be for profit? But this ghost place has no village in front of it, and there is no store in the back, and there are no tourists entering it to play at all.

Chen Xuanyi's horizons were much broader than mine, and he shook his head and said that you want to make a mistake, people are not planting these vegetation for profit, but must be to achieve some kind of ulterior secret.

As he spoke, he pointed to a few bare trees outside the manor, "Look at that tree, do you see anything abnormal?"

The light was dim, and when it shone on the tree, I found that there were no leaves on it, only a bare trunk, and vines hanging from the top of the tree, like catkins, swaying slightly in the night breeze, which was very strange.

I squinted and looked at it for a long time, puzzled, and turned back to Chen Xuan, "Isn't that just an ordinary tree, it doesn't even grow leaves, and it's probably going to die, right?"

Chen Xuanyi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, You look down along the root of the tree.

I was stunned for a moment, and continued to look, and sure enough, under the bifurcated tree whiskers, I found one small ceramic jar after another, some of which had been submerged in the soil, and some of which were scattered all over the place.

I was puzzled, and asked Chen Xuanyi why his attention was on a tree? Chen Xuanyi sighed and said You still don't understand, look at the clay pots under those trees, don't they look like an ash altar? That tree is not a product of our Central Plains, he comes from Southeast Asia, and specializes in sucking the essence and blood of humans or animals for a living, if I guess correctly, this tree has grown to this day, at least hundreds of years old, and it should have been transplanted from the rainforests of Southeast Asia.

I said scared, could it be the legendary man-eating tree? Chen Xuan nodded and said yes.

We continued to look and saw that the same plants were scattered around the manor.

I was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Why did the Li family plant cannibal trees in their manor, aren't they afraid that they will attack their own people?" Chen Xuan's face was gloomy, and he said that since people dare to plant these trees, they naturally have countermeasures, and these trees are probably used to prevent outsiders from sneaking in.

The fact that such a big battle was made and did not hesitate to use cannibal trees to guard the botanical garden shows that there must be something worth guarding in it.

Chen Xuanyi's words, my mind moved, the Li family is wealthy, and what is worthy of their attention will definitely not be simple, if I can get into it, take away the things guarded in the botanical garden, or destroy them, I believe this gang of miscellaneous things will also be very painful!

I'm not greedy, but since the Li family dares to target us like this, it is also appropriate to teach them a lesson, how to make them unhappy.

Chen Xuanyi shook his head and said, "We don't even know what is in the botanical garden, how easy is it?"

At this moment, I saw a flashlight shaking in the manor, and a pair of security guards in black suits walked along the botanical garden, led by an old man, about seventy years old, with a very hunched back, but his steps were steady and strong, and he walked with the wind, and at first glance he knew that he was a practitioner with special skills.

I pointed to the backs of those security guards and said to Chen Xuanyi, "These people don't sleep in the middle of the night, and they actually come out to patrol, they attach so much importance to the security work in this place, they want to come to this botanical garden There are really big secrets, do you want to follow and have a look?"

Chen Xuanyi frowned and nodded strangely.

Next, we touched the outside of the botanical garden, and followed the patrol in front of us, and the outside of the botanical garden was planted with man-eating trees, I don't know if they were as terrible as rumored to be, and would actively attack people passing by with their rattans, so I carefully avoided them and lurked in the woods outside the manor.

The park is very large, it is divided into several parts, the sky is dark, the sky is very cold, there is no moon, even the stars are few, occasionally I see a little bright light flashing, very quiet.

The forest where I was hiding was very dense, and there were some disturbing branches all around, which were very uncomfortable to scratch people, and at night, there were many strange insects flying around, like flies, buzzing loudly, very noisy.

The forest area is too big, I had no choice but to follow Chen Xuanyi, followed the patrol team in front of me for a few minutes, I saw a very large building, surrounded by glass mesh, the inside of the building, and the overlapping exotic flowers and plants, like a natural botanical park.

Walking near the building, the team in front of them dispersed, each with a flashlight, constantly searching for something around the building.

Seeing the appearance of these people, my heart moved, and I was thinking about whether to grab a tongue and ask, but before I sat down to decide, I heard a strange sound in my ears, and when I turned around, I found that in the woods behind me, a figure in a night suit also flashed over, and was carefully stepping on broken steps, quietly sneaking over.

At first, I thought that person was Chen Xuanyi, and I was curious about how he changed his outfit, until the distance was closer, only to find that the person was short, only 1.6 meters tall, wrapped in a black scarf, and only exposed a pair of vulture eyes, at first glance, it was very infiltrating.

It's him?

As soon as my heart moved, a name immediately popped up in my head - Koichiro!

This international friend from Dongying once participated in the hunt against me and Chen Xuanyi, and he should have been a guest of honor in the Li family, so why did he sneak in here in the middle of the night in a night suit and sneakily like me?

My heart tightened, and I quickly slipped behind a big tree, hid in the shadows, and continued to look at the guy.

Under the cover of the night, Ichiro Bare lowered his body very low, he was already short, with the cover of the jungle, he was completely integrated with the darkness, if it weren't for the long-term cultivation of the God Devouring Gu, my eyesight had been greatly improved, I am afraid that I would not have been able to find this person at all.

The boy was brisk, and it didn't take long for him to sneak into the vicinity of the building in front of him, and to the secret door of the hall, and was about to push the door.

At this time, the patrol team returned, and a lot of white light kept flickering around.

The old man who walked in front seemed to have noticed something unusual, and from a distance, he swept towards the building with a flashlight, and Mitsuichiro reacted very quickly, like a civet cat, and quickly hid in the dark corner.

The light did not shine on him, and the old man coughed twice, and then walked away with the patrol.

I lurked in the woods, silently for about five or six minutes, until the patrol had left, and then Mitsuichiro sprang out again and continued to the secret door to tinker with the keyhole on it.

My heart moved, and I secretly said, "Could it be that this kid is here to steal things? Otherwise, as a guest of honor in the Li family, how could he be so sneaky?"
