Chapter XVIII

"Xu Hu, wait a minute. Standing by the river, Lin Yifan frowned, stopped Xu Hu, who was about to step forward, looked at the tree trunk not far away, stared at the still calm river, Lin Yifan keenly sensed the hidden crisis under the water surface, and was about to disperse his soul power.

Suddenly, the originally calm lake surface boiled, causing countless waves, and countless crocodile beasts came out of the river, opening their hideous mouths and rushing towards Lin Yifan and the others.

"Retreat!" Lin Yifan roared as hard as he could, waving his hand as he retreated, scattering the talisman that had already been caught between his fingers, and countless fireballs exploded in the crocodile herd.

"Young Master, what now?" Xu Wen and Xu Hu stood in front of Lin Yifan, asking Lin Yifan behind them while retreating.

"Look for an opportunity and rush over. Lin Yifan knows very well the strength of the crocodile herd, as long as he deals with it carefully, it is impossible to hurt the three of them in a short time.

The battle continued, Lin Yifan was like a moving battery, one by one the talismans were thrown out by him, and then exploded from the crocodile herd, causing countless casualties to the crocodile herd, Xu Wen and Xu Hu were like meat shields, occasionally crocodile beasts dodged Lin Yifan's attack and rushed to them and were shot away by the two of them.

Farther and farther away from the riverbank, the number of crocodile beasts began to stabilize, and all gathered around Lin Yifan and the three of them, and crocodile beasts no longer appeared on the riverbank.

"It's now, rush!" After Lin Yifan determined that all the crocodile beasts in the river had landed, he decisively signaled Xu Wen and Xu Hu to move forward under pressure.

The water spirit shield, the flames, the red and green, countless brilliance bloomed by the river, the talisman seal in Lin Yifan's hand was like not asking for money, a handful of them were thrown out by him, protecting Xu Wen Xu Hu and himself, and they were blown up in the group of crocodile beasts, countless crocodile beasts were lifted away, and Lin Yifan and the three of them were rapidly approaching the river bank.

"Burst flames, burst flames, burst flames......" Standing by the river, Lin Yifan threw talismans around like crazy, winning a short safe space for himself.

"Come on!" The three of them squatted to accumulate their strength, and the sound of three rocks crushing came out, and Lin Yifan and the three of them jumped towards the opposite bank.

Not daring to stay, as soon as they landed, the three of them spread their arms and ran away from the river bank with all their might, and countless crazy hysterical beast roars gradually faded away.

"Whew, it's exciting!" The three of them stopped next to a big rock, Xu Hu gasped and exhaled with pleasure, causing Lin Yifan and Xu Wen to look at him helplessly.

"Now that we have reached the eastern part of the forest, according to the signs on the map, this is a rocky area, don't let your guard down. Lin Yifan took out the map and spread it out on the ground, pointing to a small red circle in the center of the map.

"It looks like this is a no-go zone, and it's still far from us. After Lin Yifan finished speaking, he put away the map and motioned for the two to continue their journey.

Compared to the south, the eastern part of the country is more sparsely populated with rocks, and sunlight can be more easily cast on the ground, creating dappled light and shadow.

"Young master, I feel that this place should be safer than the south!" Xu Hu, who was walking in the front, casually took out the kettle from the storage bag, and drank the water happily in the face of a little sunshine.

Lin Yifan didn't refute, maybe because of the sunshine, he also felt that the east was safer than the south.

Searching in the east without hurry, from time to time they could find one or two more precious ores and elixirs, and the tense nerves of Lin Yifan and the three of them began to slowly relax, the sun gradually tilted westward, and the sky slowly became dull.

"Let's find a place to spend the night!" Lin Yifan looked at the gradually darkening sky and said to the two people beside him.

"Young master, there is a valley ahead, it should be safer. Xu Hu, who was walking in front, stopped and stretched out his hand to point not far away.

The rocks were lined up, the ground was covered with gravel, countless thorns were entwined in the high raised rocks, and countless huge rocks were piled up in a disorderly manner, forming countless dark caves.

"Go over and see. "Although the east is rocky, but Lin Yifan has only found a few of them along the way in an area that has formed a scale like this, judging by his experience in searching for the previous rocky area, Lin Yifan feels that they can find a stone cave in it and spend tonight.

"Hiss!" Coming to the vicinity of the valley, Lin Yifan and the three of them gasped in unison by the faint light, their expressions full of horror.

At this time, the sun had completely set, and I saw countless snake-like beasts crawling out of the dark hole in the rock area, on the rocks, on the trees, in the gravel, everywhere, with red eyes, grinning at each other, different appearances, some black all over, some white all over, belonging to different groups of snakes.

"How can there be so many snakes here?" Xu Hu crouched near the valley, trying his best to control his breath, and expressed his doubts to the two people who were also cautious beside him.

"Maybe it's because it's dark!" Xu Wen said thoughtfully next to him.

"Be careful, retreat slowly!" Lin Yifan was very nervous at the moment, once they were discovered by the snakes, the only thing waiting for them might only be death, after all, no one knew what kind of danger would be waiting for them in the Great Forest of the Eastern Territory at night, Lin Yifan didn't even dare to disperse his soul power to perceive the situation.

As they retreated, the snakes in the valley tore each other apart, Lin Yifan could even see the fangs exposed by the snakes flashing with a poisonous light in the night, a relatively weak snake group was directly wiped out, and the corpses were eaten by other snake groups, and the situation in the valley was chaotic.

"Young Master, what now?" In the place far away from the valley, Xu Wen also became anxious, and if they couldn't find a place to stay, their situation would become even more dangerous.

"Go away from the rocky areas first. The night affected his vision, Lin Yifan had no choice but to spread out his soul power to perceive the surrounding environment, and chose a direction to signal Xu Wen and Xu Hu to follow.

Time was passing quietly, the sky was completely dark, and even more strange white mist quietly spread in the forest, and the vision of the martial apprentice level also became worse under this environment, and even Lin Yifan's soul power perception was affected.

The silent forest was filled with endless darkness, and in the darkness there were three fluorescent rays that really moved slowly.

"Don't worry, follow me!" Lin Yifan's slightly immature voice came out, revealing calmness, which made Xu Wen and Xu Hu beside him settle down in his heart.

"There is!" Suddenly, Lin Yifan's eyes lit up, and under his soul power perception, an empty cave with obvious traces of being inhabited appeared in his perception.

"Young Master, have you found a place to stay?" Xu Wen walked away with hope in his voice, and Lin Yifan had already confirmed to them that he could see through the darkness.

"That's right, follow me, don't get separated!" said Lin Yifan and walked towards the cave at a faster speed.

"See, there is a cave, I hope this place is safe!" After a while, the cave had already entered Xu Wen and Xu Hu's line of sight, Xu Hu became more vigilant instead, raising the lighting ball in his hand, after all, he had encountered danger in the previous caves, if he hadn't found out in advance by his own young master, he would have been injured a long time ago.

"Don't worry, this time the cave has been inhabited!" Lin Yifan walked quickly to the cave, the cave was blocked by a large rock, but the environment in the cave had already been clearly perceived by his soul power, and he moved the rock away with force, and the environment of the cave ** was presented in the eyes of the three people, Xu Wen and Xu Hu were completely relieved.

In the cave, Lin Yifan and the three of them sat cross-legged, and three lighting balls were placed in the three corners of the cave, reflecting the cave clearly, and the rock at the entrance of the cave had been repositioned and blocked the cave.

"Eat something first, then take turns keeping vigil, tomorrow we will continue to look for the Spirit Fruit!"
