Chapter Seventy-One: The Trap

In the calm sky above the green sea and blue waves, a short sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded, and a large group of figures appeared in front of them, like a dark cloud flying quickly into the distance. At the front of the team is an old man with a thin face, the old man's name is Anthony, he is the elder of the East Branch of the God of War Temple, his strength is infinitely close to the Holy Rank, and he has more powerful divine weapons and secret methods, even in the face of a real Holy Rank powerhouse, he has the power to fight.

Behind him, many familiar faces could be seen, Sun Xiaofei, Lucia, Hess and others rushed all the way to Huju Pass. Erikson and the other magicians and the large army behind them gathered and set off, and the speed was naturally a little behind Sun Xiaofei and the others.

It was nearly a thousand miles away from Xunhe Town to Huju Pass, and there were many dangerous and difficult places on the way, even if they tried their best to increase their speed and hurry, it would take several days. Most of their team are from the Temple of the God of War and the East Branch, and each of them is a carefully selected master and belongs to the elite of the elite. Gathering so many young and strong people, this force is something that no one dares to ignore, and they shoulder the heavy responsibility, which is to break down the enemy's defenses, destroy the enemy's main combat force, and relieve the siege for the Tiger Pass.

On the road ahead of them, there are several reconnaissance teams scattered in charge of pathfinding, secretly clearing the enemies and secret sentinels wandering around the Huju Pass, these people are very good at hiding their tracks and assassinations, once they succeed, they will leave special marks in hidden places to show the situation to the people and horses coming behind. This kind of mark can only be understood by the core members of the God of War Temple, and even if it is discovered by others, there is no need to worry about seeing anything. If they encounter some troubles that are difficult to solve, these teams will leave warning signs and wait for the strong people to arrive before dealing with them. With these teams, clear the obstacles in front and pave the way. Therefore, Sun Xiaofei and the others were able to gallop with all their might, shorten the time to travel, and strive to reach their destination as soon as possible.

"Let's stop at the mountain in front of us, and I've made an appointment with the Night Wolf Squad to meet there. Anthony pointed to the front and said to the people behind him.

The Night Wolf Squad is a pioneer team responsible for pathfinding, with a small number of people, only about a dozen or twenty people, but all of them are agile, excellent in reconnaissance and tracking, and fast in complex terrain, especially good at night combat.

Anthony Sun Xiaofei and the others landed on the mountain peak, looked around vigilantly, made sure that there was no hidden danger, and walked towards the place where there was a mark. So many people landed quietly, and there was no messiness between walks, which shows the good quality of everyone.

According to past experience, when the squad in charge of reconnaissance in front encountered something that could not be solved, it would leave a mark to transmit the message, and then stay in one place, waiting to meet with Sun Xiaofei, a strong team, to discuss how to deal with it.

Anthony led everyone to the place where the Night Wolf left a mark, but he was surprised not to see a single person, the Night Wolf team should be waiting for them here, why did they disappear. Leaving a mark, but no one was seen, the situation in front of him was obviously a little strange, and everyone was experienced in a hundred battles, and soon saw the problem.

Without waiting for Anthony's order, Sun Xiaofei and the others consciously dispersed and observed the surrounding movements. The surroundings were too calm to be found, and this calm seemed very unreasonable, revealing a hint of weirdness. Everyone vaguely felt that something was not right, the Night Wolf Squad did not appear, so who would be the one who left the mark?

All eyes were on Anthony, and at this moment, it was up to him to listen. Anthony frowned, stroked his long beard lightly and said, "Let's look for it separately, if there is no gain, come back here immediately, and then find another way." ”

The crowd dispersed and walked away, except for a few members of the East Side who stayed behind and waited with Anthony for news. Sun Xiaofei spread out his divine sense, covering the entire mountain, whether it was the various animals in the woods, or the small insects hidden in the soil, they could not escape his senses.

No, no...... It's the same everywhere, no human breath has been found, let alone any trace of the Night Wolf Squad. Sun Xiaofei was a little unwilling, urging his divine consciousness to spread out, and it continued to extend beyond the peak, one thousand meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters...... As the consciousness extends into the distance, the range of perception gradually increases.

Sun Xiaofei paused, his eyes lit up, and in his divine sense, two faint human breaths finally appeared, which were a little far away from here. These two people were well hidden, and if it weren't for Sun Xiaofei's powerful and abnormal divine sense, it would be difficult to discover their existence.

Just when Sun Xiaofei's divine sense found the two of them, the two of them seemed to have noticed something, and they didn't dare to stop and turn around and leave.

Sun Xiaofei snorted coldly, although he didn't know the identities of these two people, their actions must be strange, and he passed the word to Anthony and the others, and used the Great Five Elements Escape Technique to chase after them.

Two sneaky men in black walked through the dense grass, a tall and thin man in the front and a stocky man in the back.

"Why did you want to leave all of a sudden?" asked the stocky man in black as he walked.

"Now that you know that they have come, you must go back and report to your lord immediately. Have you forgotten what the adults told you before you came? The tall and thin man in black who was hurrying in front of him said coldly.

"I can't forget. Okay, I'll listen to you. The short, fat man in black seemed to be a little afraid of him, and replied with a low smile.

The speed of these two people is not slow, and between the flashes of their figures, they appear a hundred feet away, and there is a trace of ghost in their bodies.

Where the two of them were just now, the ground flashed with an earthy yellow light, and a slender figure appeared. Sun Xiaofei turned his eyes to inspect, this place was between a fault rock crevice, if someone hid here, it would not be easy for people to detect the astringent breath.

Sun Xiaofei thought about it for a while, and then conjured up a miniature illusory figure and shot out into the void somewhere. With a snort, the image disappeared into the void. This is a covert tracking spell, condensed by a trace of Sun Xiaofei's divine sense, which can travel through various complex environments to pursue targets, and feed back the information collected to Sun Xiaofei.

Sun Xiaofei turned around and left, returned to the mountain peak and told Anthony what he found here. Anthony groaned silently, his face gloomy, and he walked around in place a few times, his eyes faintly flashing with a terrifying light.

"Things have changed, and we may have to be more careful in the future. Anthony said in a deep voice. He received a summons from Sun Xiaofei just now, and knew that something might happen to the Night Wolf Squad.

Everyone was stunned when they heard his words, and they immediately lifted their spirits, revealing a state of fighting at any time. Sun Xiaofei suddenly appeared and said to everyone present: "I found two suspicious guys secretly peeping, let's go over and see, what the hell are these two people doing?"

Everyone nodded one after another, and without Anthony's instructions, they showed their skills one by one and followed behind Sun Xiaofei. Sun Xiaofei was speeding in mid-air with the flying sword, and he could clearly sense the two breaths below in the sea of consciousness, and he was rushing in one direction.

Sun Xiaofei could vaguely see the images reflected in the sea of consciousness, and through these video clips, he could know the every move of the two black-clothed people in front of him and the places they passed. The strength of these two people is vulnerable in his eyes, and if it weren't for the fact that he was trying to find the mastermind behind them, he would be bored to follow these two people.

Since the Night Wolf team did not appear, Sun Xiaofei had a premonition that he was afraid that this team had been revealed by the enemy, and all the team members had encountered accidents. However, how can the enemy know how to use their contact marks, this is what Sun Xiaofei is most curious about.

Suddenly, Sun Xiaofei stopped, his face changed slightly, and his eyes flickered as he looked ahead. The aura of the two black-clothed men suddenly disappeared not far in front of them, and there was a gloomy and cold aura there, and Sun Xiaofei couldn't see anything, and there was a strange power in it that isolated his divine sense.

Sun Xiaofei told Anthony and the others behind him about this doubt, and all the strong people felt that even if there was something strange in front, the strength of their group of people was still afraid of any danger.

Anthony nodded, and everyone flew into the trees in front of them, where the trees were so lush that even the light above them was blocked, and only a few small rays of light could be sparsely squeezed in, shining around, the branches swayed and swayed in the wind, and the dim and dark vision could not see the surrounding scenery clearly, and this place looked eerie.

Everyone is brave and has unique skills, so naturally they don't feel afraid of anything, and everyone scatters in groups to search. Sun Xiaofei was secretly surprised, where did those two people go? I don't know what power exists here, suppressing the release of divine consciousness, and can only sense the surrounding movement within a limited range.

"Ah......h

Suddenly, a companion's frightened cry was heard in the distance, and Sun Xiaofei immediately shook his body and shot towards the place where the sound sounded.

Everyone came to the companion who made the scream, and the man was of good strength, and he did not know what terrible sight he had seen, but he would cry out in shock.

The man pointed ahead and said with a frightened expression, "Look there, what is that?"

Sun Xiaofei and the others then looked over, and this look immediately startled everyone. I saw that there was a giant tree only a few dozen zhang away from them, this giant tree grew too amazingly, the surface of the giant tree was covered with dense cracks, the trunk of at least seven or eight people could not surround it, it was difficult to calculate directly into the sky, the area covered by the crown did not know how wide, the leaves of this giant tree were wide and sparse, and most of them were thick and long tentacles coiled together. The most shocking thing is that there are countless corpses hanging under the canopy, there are all kinds of beasts and monsters, as well as a large number of humans, all of which have been drained of all nutrients without exception and hung here as dried corpses.

Except for the Ancient Tree of Life that Sun Xiaofei had seen in the elven clan's territory that was slightly better, he had never seen a tree larger than the one in front of him. This giant tree is full of weirdness, and the corpses hanging from the tree are certainly not something they can't help but think about.

Sun Xiaofei and the others walked over, not daring to get too close to the giant tree, and observed cautiously. The more they watched, the more frightened they became, and their faces gradually became solemn, many of the corpses hanging here were powerful in their lifetimes, and the people present did not dare to guarantee that they would be better than them. Especially some ferocious demonic beasts, if they were alive, their strength was also extremely strong.

"Isn't that someone from the Night Wolf Squad?"

"How did they die here?" everyone had a question in their hearts, and after a closer look, there were several dried corpses in the corpses that had not been dead for a long time, and they saw that they were indeed the Night Wolf Squad in their costumes, but they all lost their moisture and became unrecognizable, and their specific identities could no longer be distinguished.

"What kind of tree is this, do you recognize it?" Sun Xiaofei asked Mu Wanqing.

"I don't know. Let me think about it......" Mu Wanqing shook her head and frowned. Mu Wanqing searched her memories to find information about the name of this strange tree.

Anthony ordered several of his men to look around the tree, telling them not to approach it, and to return as soon as they were in danger. Those few people walked cautiously towards the giant tree, their expressions slightly nervous, and the strange and terrifying situation in front of them made them take it seriously.

"Ah, I remember. This is the Bloodthirsty Demon Tree. Mu Wanqing suddenly shouted, and her expression changed suddenly. She remembered the legend of the Bloodthirsty Demon Tree, which would attack as soon as flesh life approached, entanglement its prey to death, and then suck the nutrients out of the flesh.

"Come back!" When Sun Xiaofei heard this, he suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly shouted for those people to come back.

However, they were visibly a little sluggish. Suddenly, countless barbed branches sprouted from the ground around them, and many branches fluttered from the canopy, densely surrounding them from all directions.
