Chapter 41: The Lotus Camp

The group walked for a few days, which made them get closer and closer to the center of the Ghost Forest, but the scope of this central location was also very large, if they couldn't look carefully, I am afraid it would be difficult to find the Tianyu Monument.

After all, the Tianyu Monument is a supreme divine object, and in the state of no owner, even if ordinary cultivators can find it, it is very difficult to obtain the Tianyu Monument, so it is absolutely impossible for those Blood Lotus Clans to obtain the Tianyu Monument unscathed.

But Putiange is much easier to do as a human race, Tianyu Monument has a great relationship with the Terran, as long as Putiange and they can find Tianyu Monument, they can easily obtain Tianyu Monument, in fact, this is also one of the few advantages of a few people.

On this day, Putiange and several people were on their way, when suddenly there was a noisy sound in front of them.

"There's someone up ahead, and of course it could be something else. Putiange told everyone that he wasn't sure what was ahead, but no matter what it was, he had to be cautious.

Everyone restrained their breath, lowered their figures, and cautiously groped forward, and soon not far ahead, an open space came into everyone's eyes.

It was a wide clearing, with no trees in it, but there was some fresh earth on the ground, out of place, as if it had just been dug up and reburied.

And in the middle of this clearing, there are white cloth tents, each of which is very close together, and around the tents, there are several figures of the Blood Lotus Clan shaking, sparsely scattered, and there are not many people.

In the open space outside the pile of white cloth tents, there were groups of Blood Lotus Clans patrolling around the camp, there were about five teams, each team had six Blood Lotus Clans, and their patrol trajectory was far away from the camp, and very close to the trees at the edge of the clearing, which looked a little indescribably weird.

The atmosphere that permeated the place was very solemn, and Putian Ge even saw a look of horror in the eyes of those patrolling Blood Lotus Clans.

"This is the camp of the Blood Lotus Clan, and we really found it?" Yu Shixin was a little surprised, he really didn't expect that a few of them would be so lucky.

"It should be true, although I can't see how many Blood Lotus Clans are in those tents, but from the outside, it is estimated that there will be no less than fifty people. Yu Qing wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Pu Tiange.

"Wait, even though this is the Blood Lotus Clan's camp, don't you think something is wrong?"

"There's really something wrong, these Blood Lotus Clan's men and horses are already very large! This shows that most of the remnants of the Blood Lotus Clan's team have gathered here, but it's just ........................."

"It's just that the clearing has been cleared! Have you noticed that the clearing is covered with a layer of fresh earth, and it is obvious that it has been dug up again, and the holes that have been dug have been buried again. ”

"What are they digging up? If I'm not mistaken, it's some big trees. ”

Hearing Yu Qing say this, Pu Tiange nodded, this coincided with what he thought, he also thought that all the big trees in this clearing had been dug up, and the big trees that were dug up were probably burned by the Blood Lotus Clan with divine power, otherwise even if the big trees were dug up, it would be impossible to leave no traces at all.

"If that's the case, then why did they do it?" asked Yu Shixin.

"I don't know, if these Blood Lotus Clans just want to prevent trees from obstructing the line of sight, and want to make the camp more open, they can completely cut down these trees directly, there is no need to dig them up and fill them up. Putian Ge hid in the bushes, staring at the Blood Lotus Clan's camp with a sharp gaze.

"Unless they're afraid of something.................."

"What do you mean by those big trees?" Yu Fengqi understood the meaning of Putian Song's words, and subconsciously moved his body back, avoiding the branches and leaves in those bushes, and his eyes became vigilant.

"It may have something to do with the tree, but I don't know what's going on. Pu Tiange's tone was very calm, and his words made everyone think.

Although the target of these Blood Lotus Clans is also the Tianyu Monument, there is no movement from the Blood Lotus Clan here at this moment, except for those Blood Lotus Clans patrolling, most of the Blood Lotus Clans stay in tents, and few people come out.

It's puzzling..............................

"If there is some kind of threat here, then why don't these Blood Lotus Clans leave here?" Yu Fengqi wondered, he always felt that this was a bit unreasonable, it was really unbelievable.

Pu Tiange turned his head to glance at Yu Fengqi, and then turned his attention to the patrolling Blood Lotus Clan.

"This is the key, if there is really some kind of threat here, and the Blood Lotus Clan does not choose to leave, it means that even if the Blood Lotus Clan leaves, this threat still exists. ”

"So, the reason why they dug up this vacant land is probably to protect against some kind of threat, or to isolate some kind of threat. Putiange paused, then continued, "And the threat is likely to come from these trees." ”

"What you said makes a lot of sense, if the threat really comes from the trees, even if those Blood Lotus Clan leave, I'm afraid they won't be able to avoid these ubiquitous trees, so clearing a clearing of land should be said to be a very wise choice. ”

Yu Qing nodded, agreeing with Pu Tiange's words, and then he stared at him and continued.

"But if we're right, if these trees are really a threat, are we dangerous?"

As soon as Yu Qing said this, everyone's brows were locked, if this is the case, maybe there will be real danger, but after spending so much time in this forest before, I didn't notice any danger to these trees, but anyway, it is better to be cautious, if there is really an accident, then I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable.

"We'd better wait and see what happens, if these Blood Lotus Clans encounter any danger, we can also take precautions based on the danger. Putiange proposed.

"Well, that's all there is to it now. ”

A few people crouched in the bushes, staring at the white tents, which were square in shape and pure white, and the contrast with the black earth around them was particularly eye-catching.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that everyone noticed a strange thing, and all the patrolling Blood Lotus Clans returned to their tents, and no one continued to patrol.

It stands to reason that the night is more dangerous than the day, and someone must be there to keep vigil, but all the Blood Lotus Clans have returned to their tents, and there is no one to keep vigil in the surrounding clearing.

"Could it be that they only come out to patrol during the day, but they don't patrol at night?" Yu Shixin was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the behavior of these Blood Lotus Clan would be so strange.

"It's really strange, what the hell are they doing?" Yu Qing was also puzzled, this behavior of the Blood Lotus Clan was very unreasonable, revealing a trace of unusual aura.

"There are two possibilities, one is that they think it's safe at night so they don't need to patrol, and the other is that they're avoiding something so they can't let people walk around outside. ”

Of course, the first possibility is not realistic, so it should be the second possibility. ”

Putiange said to everyone in a deep voice that although the night was dark, he could still see most of the clearing, and this was entirely because he had far more than ordinary eyesight.

"Judging from the strength of these Blood Lotus Clans, what they want to avoid will probably be difficult to deal with, but this threat is not impossible to deal with, at least they can hold on. Yu Qing said coldly.

The night was deserted, the wind was cloudy, and there were bursts of dead air spreading, wandering in the dark night.

As the night passed, nothing strange happened that night, and it was peaceful, which surprised everyone, who had expected a change, but apparently they had guessed wrong.

The dawn loomed, and the slightest light sprinkled down, making the place see the light again, but the sky was still very dim, and the sky revealed a gloomy aura, contaminated with turbidity, shrouded here.

"Look there, what do they want to do?" Putiange pointed to a place, and everyone's eyes followed the direction Putiange pointed.

I saw more than thirty Blood Lotus Clans coming out of the tent and walking towards the edge of the clearing, they were not divided into different formations, so they were definitely not patrolling, and of course they were not looking for the Tianyu Monument, because the direction was wrong.

After these thirty or so Blood Lotus Clans came to the edge of the clearing, they made a very strange move, they used their divine power to dig up trees from the ground, and then used their divine power to burn the dug trees.

Their movements were not slow, and they quickly dug up a large area of trees in the southwest of the clearing, and these thirty or so Blood Lotus Clans were very cautious, never touching these trees with their hands, but only digging trees with divine power.

Among all the people, Pu Tiange's eyesight was the best, so he was the only one who could see clearly the eyes of those Blood Lotus Clans when they were digging trees, which were numb eyes, very sluggish, and looked a little lifeless.

This kind of look can only be seen in those who are desperate, without fear, without anger, as if they have lost any emotion, only complete numbness.

Looking at the extent of this clearing, I guess they've repeated this many times.

After the thirty or so Blood Lotus Clan cleared a piece of trees, they buried the hole they had dug with dirt, and then returned to the tent, followed by thirty more Blood Lotus Clan, and began to patrol around the camp.

"It seems that it is easy for these Blood Lotus Clan to use their divine power to burn trees, you must know that these trees are very hard. Yu Shixin touched his chin and groaned.

"You're not focusing on the right thing, we need to find out where the threat is coming from, not how powerful they are at burning trees. Yu Qing shook her head helplessly and sighed.

"I'm just talking casually, otherwise we will go directly to Tianyu Monument, how about it?" Yu Shixin was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the topic.

"No, do you think those Blood Lotus Clans don't want to find the Tianyu Monument? But they didn't move, obviously there was something that made them scruples, so we had to figure it out before we could act. Putiange vetoed.

"Maybe there are other small teams of the Blood Lotus Clan who are looking for the Tianyu Monument, what if they get their hands on it?" Yu Shixin argued in a hurried tone.

"Are you kidding? they are the Blood Lotus Clan, not the Human Race, so it may not be so easy to obtain the Tianyu Monument, and it is impossible to obtain the Tianyu Monument with just one or two small teams. ”

Pu Tiange didn't want to say anything more, he always felt that if he couldn't find the source of the threat, he was afraid that he would be very passive, unlike the Blood Lotus Clan, they didn't have that many people, and they couldn't afford casualties at all.

"Okay, our guess has been verified, the threat is indeed related to trees, then we should continue to wait and see, if we can catch a Blood Lotus Clan and force some information from his mouth, it will be the best. Yu Qing said to everyone, he felt a little uncomfortable in the bushes, very uncomfortable.

"Are these Blood Lotus Clans going to continue like this? Don't they want to do something? If they can't solve the problem in front of them, then these Blood Lotus Clans are really more than lucky. "Yu Fengqi thinks that if these Blood Lotus Clans continue like this, they will likely be wiped out.

"Maybe. Someone said.

Those Blood Lotus Clans were still patrolling the open space, maybe the atmosphere was too depressing, and none of these Blood Lotus Clans were talking, just patrolling silently.
