Chapter 3: Departure

Ten minutes later, the two of them emerged from the fog, still where they had entered the fog.

"Let's go, let's go back. Lin Tianying glanced at the fog behind him, and a hint of melancholy flashed, but it quickly dissipated.

"Wait a minute. Ye Chen stretched out his hand to stop Lin Tianying, "Tianying, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, don't worry about me." ”

"What can I be busy with?" Lin Tianying said subconsciously.

"Just this cave, haven't you been looking for it?" Seeing that Lin Tianying was silent, Ye Chen continued: "Actually, I've seen you go in and out of the fog several times, and every time you look preoccupied. ”

"I talked to you about the expansion of the fog before, and with your character, I would never be curious about what I said, but your answer was obviously perfunctory, not to mention your reaction when you saw the cave. Ye Chen said.

"Well, I'll admit, I'm looking for this cave, but I can't really tell you the truth about the fog expansion. Lin Tianying smiled bitterly.

"You don't want to say that, forget it, I'm here for the Blood Fruit. Ye Chen looked uninterested, "I'm just curious about this matter, just ask casually." ”

"In that case, let's go. Lin Tianying said.

"You're not going to deal with this cave?" asked Ye Chen.

"Even if you want to deal with it, you have to find someone first, it's not something I can do alone. Lin Tianying said helplessly.

"Then you go first, you're faster than me. Ye Chen said seriously: "You should understand the truth that changes when it is late." ”

"But are you okay alone? The floral fragrance of the blood-derived cordyceps may attract a lot of spirit insects and beasts, and you also have a lot of pollen on your body, so the probability of encountering them when you go back is not low. After a moment of silence, Lin Tianying said solemnly

"Don't worry, I expected all of this, and I said I was prepared. Ye Chen smiled confidently: "And even if I don't have preparations, I can still deal with them, otherwise what are you doing when I go into the mountains to practice, do you play in the mountains and rivers?"

"Well, be careful. Lin Tianying said solemnly.

"The same goes for you. Ye Chen said.

Lin Tianying nodded, no longer hesitated, turned around and quickly left, disappearing into the dark jungle.

Seeing Lin Tianying leaving, Ye Chen didn't stay where he was, and after looking around, he ran in one direction, which was the evacuation route he had planned before.

Ye Chen ran all the way without a moment's delay, he knew that Lin Tianying was right, he must stay away from this land of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Ye Chen's heart was startled, and he quickly stopped to stabilize his figure, then pulled out his hunting knife and looked vigilantly at the woods in front of him.

A huge black shadow slowly walked out of the forest, it was a sturdy pitch-black tiger, about two meters high at the shoulders and more than four meters long, its huge body stepped on the ground without making a sound, and its dark eyes stared coldly at Ye Chen.

"Shadow Hunting Tiger. Ye Chen's brows furrowed, he recognized this beast at a glance, this was the top predator of the jungle, even if he entered the mountain to practice, he would not provoke the existence casually, let alone at this critical juncture.

Escape, this is Yechen's only thought at this moment.

Before Ye Chen could take action, the Shadow Hunter Tiger rushed over, his huge body did not affect his speed at all, and in the blink of an eye, he pounced in front of Ye Chen's eyes, opened his blood plate and bit his neck.

Ye Chen's reaction was not slow, and almost at the same time as the Shadow Hunter Tiger moved, he also moved, and his legs violently exerted force, wanting to hide in the woods on the side.

It's just that Ye Chen still underestimated the speed of this Shadow Hunter Tiger, and although he escaped the fatal bite of the Shadow Hunting Tiger, he was hit the back by the tiger's claws.

Ye Chen was directly shot out a few meters, one staggered, and hid in the woods in embarrassment, if it wasn't for the protection of his backpack, Ye Chen was sure that his back was already a blur of flesh and blood, even so, Ye Chen also felt a huge pain in his back, and the qi and blood in his body were tumbling.

But Yechen still didn't dare to stay for a moment, endured the discomfort, and ran towards the depths of the jungle. How could the Shadow Hunter Tiger easily let go of the food in his mouth, and with a low roar, he chased after it.

Hearing the movement behind him, Ye Chen didn't need to look back to know that it was the Shadow Hunter Tiger chasing after him, but he knew better that with the size of the Shadow Hunter Tiger, it was impossible for him to run fast in the woods.

Ye Chen kept changing direction in the woods, and even deliberately approached the dense woods, leaving the Shadow Hunter Tiger far behind with his own flexibility.

Just when Ye Chen thought that he had thrown off the Shadow Hunting Tiger and was about to make a detour back to his previous route, he found that seven or eight green points of light suddenly lit up not far ahead, floating towards him strangely like ghost fire.

"It's... Ghost-eyed wolf. Ye Chen soon realized that only the eyes of the ghost-eyed wolf could be so bright in the night.

Ye Chen subconsciously clenched the hunting knife and prepared to attack, but suddenly thought of something, his face sank, and he turned around and fled.

Ye Chen was chased by wolves at the beginning, because he hunted several ghost-eyed wolves, and finally got desperate to burrow into the fog, and happened to find the blood-derived cordyceps.

With the lesson of the last time, Yechen didn't want to fight them anymore, and just wanted to get rid of these ghost-eyed wolves before the wolf pack arrived.

But the ghost-eyed wolf is no better than the Shadow Hunter, the ghost-eyed wolf is small, flexible, and very patient, and the possibility of getting rid of the wolves in the forest, especially at night when vision is blocked, is almost zero.

As the number of ghost-eyed wolves following behind gradually increased, Yechen also realized this. But what struck him as strange was that these ghost-eyed wolves were obviously faster than him, but they were only following closely behind, and had no intention of attacking at all.

Just as Ye Chen was puzzled by this matter, he inadvertently saw a huge black shadow also moving towards him, and Ye Chen was shocked, this was the previous Shadow Hunter Tiger.

In order to avoid the wolves, Yechen could only run out of the dense jungle, but he didn't expect that the Shadow Hunter Tiger did not leave, and still followed behind and waited for the opportunity.

The strength of this shadow hunting tiger, Ye Chen has already understood, it is clearly a spirit beast, whether it is speed or strength, it is above him, and there is only a dead end when it is encountered head-on.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Shadow Hunter Tiger had not yet arrived, Ye Chen immediately made a decision, put away the hunting knife, and quickly climbed the big tree on the side.

When Ye Chen sat in the treetop and looked down, he found that the Shadow Hunter Tiger was confronting the wolves, and in the time he was climbing the tree, the wolves had all arrived, and there were more than thirty of them, and one of the strongest ghost-eyed wolves attracted Ye Chen's attention.

This ghost-eyed wolf is obviously the wolf king of the wolf pack, with a pair of different, purple wolf eyes, which is a symbol of the evolution of the ghost-eyed wolf into a spirit animal.

Ye Chen vaguely remembered that the wolves he encountered last time were almost thirty ghost-eyed wolves, and the wolf king among them was also a spirit beast with purple eyes.

"Could it be that they are the wolves I met last time?" Ye Chen thought to himself, this would explain the strange behavior of the ghost-eyed wolf before, they didn't dare to get too close to know his strength, but they didn't want to let him go, so they could only follow behind and wait for the wolf king to arrive.

After all, the last time Ye Chen would flee in embarrassment, and even almost died, mainly because of the wolf king, he was in the primordial stage and was not the opponent of the spirit beast at all.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen touched the wooden box in his pocket, the purpose of his blood source fruit was to prepare the baptism spiritual liquid, so as to accept the baptism and awaken the spiritual power.

It's just that Ye Chen never thought that because of this blood source fruit, it would attract two spirit beasts, after all, spirit beasts live in the depths of Wuling Mountain, and they rarely come to the periphery.

"It seems that the smell on the body needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. Ye Chen thought, so he didn't hesitate anymore, took out a silver vial from his body, and poured the liquid inside on the branch below.

Suddenly, a violent stench wafted out, even if Ye Chen was wearing a gas mask, he was dizzy with smoke, and he almost didn't fall off the tree, and as for the Shadow Hunter Tiger and Ghost-Eyed Wolf under the tree, they fled without a trace in the first place.

Yechen endured the stench and quickly descended from the trees and ran towards the nearest river.
