The night was deep, and a group of seven people groped their way through the mountains and forests, looking like a group of ants crawling slowly from above.

Yin Xue walked in the forefront, holding a sword in her hand, and when she encountered a place where the branches and leaves were entangled, she waved her hand casually, and the vines broke together, showing extraordinary quality.

Beside her, Zheng Youjun was sweating profusely with a flashlight, and the rapid march for two consecutive days made him look very embarrassed, his clothes were torn by tree branches, and every step was extremely difficult.

After that, Tie Ying and Han Heng guarded both sides, with Master Jingchen and his disciples in the middle, and Ye Xuan was in charge of breaking off.

"Captain, no, let's take a break!" Zheng Youjun shouted weakly.

Although Yin Xue was anxious, she also knew that she couldn't be reckless, after all, there were ordinary people in the team.

She gave the order: "Rest tonight, and set off tomorrow morning!" ”

It is a hillside with a dense poplar forest with lush foliage that shades the sky.

Everyone sat together, took out mineral water and bread from their backpacks, and replenished their energy.

"Where are we now?" Yin Xue asked.

Zheng Youjun gobbled up and said, "I have already left the southwest province, climbed the mountain in front of me, and walked for another day, and I will arrive at Kyoto!" ”

Yin Xue calculated in her heart that they had been in a hurry for the past two days, with almost no rest, and they should be able to arrive before the rune seal expired!

Tie Ying handed the water to Ye Xuan, and seeing that he kept looking around, looking uneasy, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

"I always feel that something is wrong!"

Tie Ying sat on the ground and said with a smile: "You are too nervous, relax, you have to hurry tomorrow!" ”

Ye Xuan nodded silently and looked up at the sky, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, making the darkness even thicker.

He wrapped himself tightly and leaned against the trunk of a tree, his right hand at his waist at all times.

It wasn't long before everyone fell into a deep sleep, and the wind began to blow in the woods, and the leaves rustled.

Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, looked around vigilantly, listened attentively, but found nothing.

He remembered the rustling sound he had just heard, hidden in the wind, and although it was extremely faint, he still caught it!

But then it disappeared again!

The iron eagle on his side fell asleep, the others were motionless, Yin Xue held the sword in both hands, sat on a stone, closed his eyes and rested.

Ye Xuan stood up, and as soon as he moved, Yin Xue woke up, and looked straight at him with a cold gaze.

Ye Xuan pointed forward: "I'll go to the toilet!" ”

Yin Xue retracted her gaze: "Go and come back quickly!" ”

Ye Xuan nodded at her, turned around and walked into the depths of the woods, he naturally didn't really want to pee, but walked around the woods, and there was nothing abnormal.

"Delusion?"

He scratched his head, returned to the group, and sat down in his place to rest.

The darkness of the night restored its silence.

Rustling~!

Rustling~!

Once a person closes his eyes and loses the vision on which he depends, his other senses become particularly acute.

This time, Ye Xuan held his breath and concentrated, and finally heard the strange sound again, and it became clearer and clearer.

He jumped to his feet and said loudly, "There is a situation! ”

Yin Xue held the long sword in her hand and looked around with a wary expression.

Tie Ying followed and stood up, and Han Heng took a defensive posture left and right, the little monk hid behind the old monk, and Zheng Youjun rolled on the ground in fright.

However, when everyone calmed down and looked around, they found that the woods were empty and there was nothing.

"Ye Xuan, what's going on?" Yin Xue asked.

"I just heard some strange noises, and I suspect something is approaching!" Ye Xuan replied.

Everyone listened attentively, but there was nothing but the howling of the wind!

Tie Ying said: "Brother Ye, did you hear it wrong?" ”

"Impossible! I heard it three times in a row, and I didn't know what it was, but it wasn't safe anymore, and I suggested leaving immediately! ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Tie Ying immediately stopped his mouth and turned his head to look at the captain Yin Xue.

Zheng Youjun couldn't help but complain: "How long have you been resting?" Both of my legs are almost gone, and I can't walk! ”

Yin Xue glanced at Ye Xuan deeply and said, "Just in case, everyone pack up their things, move immediately, and find a place to rest again!" ”

Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, she finally trusted herself!

Except for Zheng Youjun, who complained a little, the others obeyed Yin Xue unconditionally.

Tie Ying patted Zheng Youjun on the shoulder: "Lao Zheng, work harder, when you arrive in Kyoto, I will invite you to eat Quanjude roast duck!" ”

Ye Xuan put on his backpack, and as soon as he turned around, the tips of his ears trembled slightly, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Here we go again!" ”

Rustling~!

This time it wasn't just him, everyone heard the noise, like a poisonous snake crawling on the sand, its scales rubbing against the sand, cold and terrifying.

"What's that?"

Iron Eagle looked around and found nothing, but the rustle was getting closer.

Everyone became nervous, Zheng Youjun was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and Yin Xue's expression condensed.

Until, the voice was pressed in front of him, as if it was within reach.

Ye Xuan was keenly aware of a hint of shock, and his face changed greatly: "In the underground!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the soil under his feet suddenly exploded, and countless snake-like branches stretched out from it, twisting and stabbing at everyone.

Ye Xuan jumped upward, and eight flying swords surrounded his body, forming a small sword cover, colliding with the attacking vines, and actually emitting a golden resonance sound.

But no matter how hard it was, it couldn't compare to the sharpness of the magic weapon, and the tips of the vines were all slashed off, and pitch-black pus and blood came out of it, exuding a foul smell.

Then, more roots came at him, seemingly endlessly.

Ye Xuan was in mid-air, his right foot stepped on the trunk of the tree, and the whole person suddenly flipped over, and the Cloud Piercing Sword almost danced into a whirlwind, cutting off all the flying tree roots.

After landing, he looked at the others.

Yin Xue flew with a sword, her sword aura was awe-inspiring, and she didn't seem to be in any serious trouble.

The Iron Eagle has skin like iron, and his strength is infinite, and the spiky vines pierce his body, which is useless. He was in front of Zheng Youjun and was safe for the time being.

Han Heng's figure flashed, and the roots couldn't catch up.

Master Pure Dust is the highest cultivation among several people, and his body is shrouded in a layer of golden light, forming a talisman shield qi, protecting the little monk inside, as long as the roots of the tree touch the golden shroud, they will be shattered.

Just as everyone was concentrating on dealing with the vines, a sudden change occurred, and the ground suddenly shook violently, and the vines retracted back into the ground one after another, arching countless bags of earth.

Ye Xuan had an extremely bad premonition and shouted, "Everyone get out of here!" ”

However, it was too late, and I only heard a 'bang' explosion, and a huge 'earthworm' made of countless vines was drilled out of the ground, which was as thick as a water tank and looked very ugly.

The earthworm stretched upwards infinitely, and then lowered its head, like an arrow off the string, whistling and stabbing at the Master of Pure Dust.

Rumble!

The earthworm collided with the golden shield, making a huge explosion, and the dust purifying master spewed out a mouthful of blood, the shield shattered in an instant, and the earthworm was also blown off its head.
