"Captain, it's a little strange today! We entered the secluded forest early in the morning, and the speed of our march was not slow, it was almost noon, why didn't we encounter a spirit beast?"

A lean man dressed in black and holding a heavy sword whispered in Yue Feishuang's ear.

"This is unusual, we quicken our pace, dig deeper, and if we still do this, we can only turn back. ”

Yue Feishuang's brows were tightly locked, and his heart was full of doubts.

"Could it be that if you really get nothing this time, you will return in vain like this? I am not reconciled!"

The thin man looked helpless and unwilling.

A few days ago, his cultivation reached the late stage of the Jiedan Realm, and the captain Yue Feishuang was even promoted to the Yuanying Realm. Originally, this time he was going to the depths of the secluded forest to hunt more powerful spirit beasts, and according to legend, powerful spirit beasts are usually born with spirit treasures.

But right now, they have gone nearly a hundred miles deeper than usual, but they still haven't seen a single spirit beast, let alone any spirit treasure.

Seeing his expression, Yue Feishuang comforted, "Li Xian, don't be disappointed! Today's events are too strange, although our strength has improved, it is not enough to deal with everything in this forest. ”

Then he turned to look at the other team members behind him, who were all staring at him with puzzled expressions, as if waiting for his final decision.

He continued to Li Xian, "Besides, there are so many brothers following us, we must not risk their lives, it is said that it is almost enough to go deep into this area, and it is our limit to advance another hundred miles at most." ”

Then he said to the people, "Let's go! Let's go deeper, and if we don't find anything for a hundred miles, we will retreat at once, and we must get out of the secluded forest before the sun sets." Everyone, follow me, don't act recklessly!"

As he spoke, he stepped out lightly on his toes, stepping over the weeds and dead leaves all over the ground, without making the slightest sound, which shows the depth of his cultivation.

The other team members followed closely, but there was a slight rustling sound, and their cultivation was much lower than Yue Feishuang's. Li Xian dragged on to the end, cautiously, and shook the heavy sword in his hand again and again.

An eight-person hunting team shuttled through the silence of the forest like this.

Although it was noon, the dazzling sunlight still could not penetrate the dense foliage above the forest, and the forest was unusually quiet, and even the low chirping of herons and snowbirds on weekdays had disappeared.

The towering giant trees exude the atmosphere of vicissitudes of life, and the branches at the top are covered with green branches and leaves the size of a fan, densely packed with thick vines winding around the tree.

The forest received no sunlight, was unusually humid and foggy, the dead leaves rotted into dark green silt, waist-high weeds grew in every corner of the forest, and bushes several people tall could be seen everywhere.

Suddenly, Yue Feishuang let out a low shout, "Stop!"

Immediately stopped galloping, and the team members behind also stopped and looked at each other. They didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but they had great confidence in their judgment.

Yue Feishuang approached a giant tree, and with a flick of his arm, a light blue knife slashed through, cutting the vines that were entwined with the giant tree. The vines were scattered, but there was a scarlet claw mark on the surface of the covered bark, exuding a faint smell of blood.

Before he could take a closer look, he heard a slight sound of fighting in the distance, sometimes noisy and fierce, sometimes silent.

Yue Feishuang leaned down, his ears were attached to the Hongdae roots of the giant tree, his eyes were slightly closed, and he had already made a judgment in the blink of an eye.

"West, thirty miles, go!"

Before he could finish speaking, he galloped towards the west, followed closely by the team members behind him.

Li Xian hurried to catch up and asked in a low voice, "Captain, what happened?

"Our people are in danger!"

After a short answer, he didn't say anything more, but his feet were faster, and at the same time, the aura in his hand was swallowed, and he turned into a long knife that was cold.

After running for about a stick of incense, Yue Feishuang and his party finally arrived at the place where the sound of the fight came from.

This is one of the few clearings in the forest, where giant trees grow unbridled and grow around in an irregular circular clearing.

Between the two giant trees on the east side, there is a very tall shrub that looks like an entrance.

Yue Feishuang came from this direction, and at this time he was standing under the bushes, looking at the scene in the clearing, he couldn't help but gasp.

As far as the eye could see, the bloody armor was torn to pieces and scattered all over the ground, and the blades were broken and broken, stuck diagonally or horizontally on the ground. The whole clearing was bloodstained, exuding a strong bloody smell, disgusting, and more than a dozen corpses were lying everywhere, with stumps and broken arms, and the flesh was blurred with blood.

Yue Feishuang stared at it for a long time and took a deep breath, until now he hadn't guessed what killed the hunting team of more than a dozen people. It doesn't look like a spirit animal, but what can it be if it's not a spirit animal?

Such a strange environment, such a tragic scene, even he did not dare to rashly walk into this open space. Although he didn't want the violent corpses of these tribesmen to be in the wilderness, he didn't want his brother to take risks.

Joining the hunting team, you must have the consciousness of dying in the secluded forest at any time, after all, if you want to get a better cultivation spiritual object, you have to pay a price, and the greater the gain, the higher the risk.

Yue Feishuang struggled for a while, and finally made a decision, raising his right hand to make a retreat gesture, but at this time, there was a sound in the center of the clearing.

When they looked around, they saw a one-armed corpse crawling slowly towards them, and the only remaining arm was clutching the ground and moving forward with difficulty. Although his head was raised, his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly, only his eyes were still shining, as if he wanted to survive.

"He's still alive!" Yue Feishuang said in a low voice.

"You guys wait here, I'll rescue him, if there is a situation, Li Xian immediately lead everyone to retreat, withdraw from the forest, don't look back, don't care about me, this is an order!"

Before everyone could respond, he flew out, and the aura around his body surged, condensing into a thin piece of blue armor, covering his body, and the long knife in his hand was clenched, and the aura was swallowed, and the chill was even worse.

In a few breaths, he had fallen to the man's side, and the rest of Li Xian and the rest of the team members were waiting anxiously in the rear.

Just about to reach out and help him up, but there was a sudden flash of essence between his eyebrows, and then he retreated. It's just that he didn't notice the slightest fluctuation of aura from this person, and there is only one kind of such person, and that is the dead.

But even though Yue Feishuang reacted extremely quickly, he was still a little slower, and the corpse in front of him suddenly exploded, bursting out with pieces of blood mist, enveloping him.

Immediately, the long knife swung sharply, dancing in the shape of a half-moon, the sword qi condensed into frost, the cold qi rose, and the blood mist also formed into ice cubes and scattered down.

Jiang Cai breathed a sigh of relief, but his pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw that the giant trees around the clearing actually writhed! No! To be precise, the vines wrapped around the giant trees were scurrying like giant pythons.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Li Xianzheng swinging his heavy sword, against several spikes sticking out of the bushes, while the other team members were rushing in his direction.

"Captain, we can't get out!"

Before they arrived, everyone was already in a hurry.

"The bushes seemed to have a wit, and not only blocked the way out, but also forced us in. The deputy said that he would resist for a moment, so let's join you first. ”

At the same time, Li Xian cut off a few spikes, got rid of the entanglement of the bushes, and hurried over.

"Captain, what should I do?"

Li Xian was out of breath, and it could be seen that Fang Cai's entanglement had consumed a lot of aura.

Yue Feishuang didn't respond, just opened his eyes angrily and looked at the sky above the center of the clearing.

Everyone then looked over, only to see that the thick vines were intertwined like giant pythons, and at the end were actually transformed into hideous snake heads, with their huge mouths wide open, and the scarlet snake letters kept spitting, exuding a disgusting smell of decay.

"I'm in trouble!"

Yue Feishuang's heart tightened, but he put away his panic in an instant.

After all, he has been in the hunting team for several years, and from a small team member to today, his cultivation has been honed on the edge of life and death countless times. What's more, he is the captain of this team, and everyone's lives are in his hands.

All of this must not allow him to panic, and he must calmly face the predicament in front of him. Even if everyone ends up dead here, they must not sit still and wait for death, even if they fight for their lives, they must fight again!

Immediately shouted, "Formation!"

I saw that the other seven team members quickly separated, showing the momentum of the Big Dipper, Yue Feishuang stood in the center of the array, just stepping on the North Star position of the eye of the array.

The aura of everyone surged, converging into a starry Big Dipper star map, and the aura flowed between the various star positions in the form of flowing water, converging towards the location of Yue Feishuang in the North Star position.

This is one of the star formations handed down by the Yue family since ancient times, and different formations can be cast according to the strength of the caster's cultivation.

The Big Dipper Star Array in front of him belongs to the Xiaocheng Array, and according to legend, if this array is cast by several God Refining Realm powerhouses, the entire Luohe Star Map can be conjured.

"Half Moon Frost Fly!"

But hearing a low shout, Yue Feishuang clenched the long knife in his right hand, and the tips of his left fingers jumped, and immediately formed a complex seal.

For a moment, the knife qi stretched horizontally and horizontally and formed ice, transforming into a huge ice knife dozens of zhang long, slashing towards the snake head that was biting in mid-air.

The knife body blew the hunting wind, carrying the endless flying frost swept out, the vines were instantly frozen into a carving, the knife qi split, the ice sculpture shattered in response, fell to the ground, and dissipated into water vapor.

Before Yue Feishuang could breathe a sigh of relief, countless vines gathered again in the air.

At the same time, the vines on the trunk of the tree were also ready to move, stretching out their hideous tentacles.
