Chapter Ninety-Six: Re-entering the Northern Wilderness
"Ling'er, your strength is very powerful!" Aotian looked at the vine with a surprised face and said, "Ling'er, you control the vine to wrap around my legs, and try to wrap my legs as hard as you can!"
"Oh, so good!" Although Mu Ling'er didn't know what Lu Dao Aotian was going to do, she still responded obediently.
Immediately, I saw that the vine suddenly seemed to come to life again, and then it seemed to be a swimming snake, quickly rushed to the soles of Aotian's feet, and quickly began to wrap around Aotian's legs.
In the blink of an eye, the vine was like a rope, tightly wrapping Aotian's legs.
Feeling the power of the vines, Aotian couldn't help but show surprise on his face, but he was very surprised in his heart.
"The entanglement is so strong, I'm afraid that even if the martial artist is entangled, it will be difficult to break free for a while, but it would be nice if the speed of this vine could move a little faster!" Aotian sighed as if he was talking to himself.
"Brother Aotian, I can actually go a little faster!" Mu Ling'er said with a slight smile after hearing Aotian's self-talk.
"Yes, then you let this vine wrap around me as fast as possible!" said Aotian with a look of antiquation.
Hearing this, Mu Ling'er nodded, and then the blue light on her body suddenly flourished.
In an instant, Aotian only felt that the vines wrapped around his legs squirmed, and the power of the entanglement suddenly became much stronger. Immediately afterwards, the vine was like a swimming snake, winding towards the upper body of Aotian at a rapid speed, and after an instant, it had completely wrapped Aotian's upper body, and the speed of the entanglement was more than twice as fast as before.
"Very good!" Although the speed of the vine's winding speed this time was still very slow for Aotian.
But it had already surprised him, according to the speed of the vine just now and the amount of power that bound it, it was definitely easy to bind a low-level martial artist.
"Brother Aotian, is this speed okay?" Mu Ling'er opened her clear eyes again and asked with an expectant face.
"Very powerful, Ling'er, your ability is enough for you to easily subdue a low-ranking martial artist, and it should be even more powerful in the future!" Aotian said with great joy.
He knew very well that Mu Ling'er's strength would definitely become stronger as she grew up, just like the strength of his own Vajra body.
"Really?" Mu Ling'er was very surprised, she originally just thought this ability was fun, but she didn't expect that it could be used to control the enemy.
Just after being reminded by Aotian, she understood how to manipulate this vine to restrain others.
"Of course, as long as you practice a little, you can definitely use this ability to easily subdue the enemy, and you can use this strength to protect yourself in the future!" said Aotian with a smile.
"Giggles, great, Ling'er can protect herself in the future!" Mu Ling'er cheered happily in the courtyard.
"Come, Ling'er, I'll practice with you, I'll run around the yard, you can find a way to catch me with the vines!" Aotian easily broke free of the vines that bound him, and then began to run around the yard, but not fast.
"Okay!" Mu Ling'er nodded excitedly, pointed with his little hand, and suddenly another vine broke through the ground near Aotian, and like a poisonous snake smelling the smell of its prey, it quickly rushed towards Aotian, and finally pounced directly on Aotian.
Seeing this, Aotian suddenly dodged to the side, easily dodging the vines that pounced like poisonous snakes.
But the vine was also very fast, and immediately made a turn and pounced on Aotian again, and Aotian dodged again.
In this way, Aotian flashed left and right in the courtyard, and the vines were like poisonous snakes, chasing after them, but they couldn't touch Aotian's body, let alone wrap around it.
"Brother Aotian, you are cheating!" Mu Ling'er suddenly pursed her lips and said a little unhappily.
"Little fool, if there is an enemy who will obediently stand still and tie you up, you must use your brains and think of a better way to deal with me!" Aotian smiled and said.
"Think of a way?" Mu Ling'er's small brows furrowed slightly, and she pouted and thought about it, but after thinking for a long time, she didn't seem to come up with a way.
Seeing this, Aotian smiled, he knew that Dao Mu Ling'er was relatively simple, and he had not experienced any battles, so it was indeed a little difficult for her to be able to think of a way at once.
"Ling'er, you can try to predict my movement, and then control the vines to rush out from my foothold, so that you can directly tie my feet the moment my feet hit the ground!" Aotian reminded.
Hearing Aotian's words, Mu Ling'er suddenly had an epiphany, her little brows immediately stretched, and a smile appeared on her pretty face, and she nodded: "Understood!"
"Alright, let's do it again!" said Aotian with a slight smile.
Immediately, he ran again, and deliberately kept changing the direction of his running, testing whether Mu Ling'er could judge his foothold.
But at this moment, the previous vine once again pounced on Aotian like a poisonous snake.
Seeing this, Aotian was helpless, and secretly said that this Mu Ling'er still didn't understand what he meant, and immediately stepped a little, and dodged to the side when the vine pounced.
But what Aotian didn't expect was that at the moment when his feet touched the ground again, another vine suddenly broke through the ground at his foothold, instantly wrapping around one of his feet.
"Ha Luha, it's a success!" Mu Ling'er jumped up happily and cheered.
Looking at his tied right foot, a satisfied smile appeared on Aotian's face.
"It seems that I underestimated this little girl, she actually thought of using a vine to feint, and then forced me to dodge out of the canopy, so that it would be easier to judge my landing location and attack, what a girl with combat potential. Aotian sighed in his heart.
"Ling'er, well done!" Aotian gave Mu Ling'er a thumbs up.
Recognized and praised by Aotian, the smile on Mu Ling'er's face was even brighter, reflecting the bright sunshine, as beautiful as a blooming lily.
After staying at Mu Ling'er's house for one night, Aotian took Mu Ling'er to leave Beiqi Town and went to the Northern Wilderness Gusen together.
Since the North Seven Town is not very far from the North Wilderness Ancient Forest, and it is not convenient to enter the Northern Wilderness Ancient Forest with horses, Aotian and Mu Ling'er chose to hike to the Northern Wilderness Ancient Forest.
But along the way, Aotian basically ran wildly with Mu Ling'er on his back, and his speed was much faster than riding a horse.
In this way, the two of them soon entered the Northern Wilderness Ancient Forest, and then walked along the periphery of the Northern Wilderness Ancient Forest towards the east.
There are basically no magical beasts on the periphery of the Northern Wilderness Gusen, so the two of them walked for more than ten days, and they did not encounter any danger, only occasionally encountered a few beasts that did not open their eyes, and they happened to be used as targets by Mu Ling'er to test the attack of the vines, and the flesh of the beast eventually became the rations of Aotian and Mu Ling'er, and the fur became the cushion for the two of them to sleep.
At noon that day, when Aotian and Mu Ling'er were leisurely enjoying the hare meat in the forest, three men with masked faces suddenly walked out of the woods behind them.
Aotian was very alert, so as soon as those people appeared, he immediately noticed it, and immediately jumped up from the ground, and his right hand had already covered the Xuan-level sword.
"Who are you?" Aotian saw that the few people who suddenly appeared were masked, and he knew that a few people were not good, so his face sank, and he asked in a cold voice.
And Mu Ling'er on the side also stood up from the ground and came to Aotian's side.
"Big brother, they don't look like they have money on them!"
"When you are still like before, it is rare to meet the prey, if you don't rob it, if they don't have any money on them, they will sell the little girl, look at her so smart, she should be able to sell it for a very good price!"
"Big brother is right!"
Although the three masked men did not answer Aotian's words, the conversation between them told Aotian that these people were those outlaws who killed people and sold goods in the Northern Wilderness Ancient Forest.
In fact, these people originally wandered around the easternmost peripheral generation of the Northern Wilderness Gusen, specializing in killing people and overstepping goods, and they never covered their faces in robberies.
That area borders several provinces of the Fire Pattern Empire, and there are many martial cultivators who enter and leave the Northern Wilderness Ancient Forest from there, but their target is those young people who are young and vigorous, with their enthusiasm, alone or in a few people, to enter the Northern Wilderness Ancient Forest to experience training.
These people are generally very weak, and the strongest is only at the upper level of martial artists, they have little combat experience, they are extremely easy to deal with, and they are generally from big families, and they generally have a lot of money on them, and occasionally they can meet young and beautiful female martial arts cultivators, and a few people can enjoy it again by the way.
But it was okay at first, but over time, it attracted the attention of the major families of the Fire Emblem Empire.
Later, when they robbed a lone son, they didn't expect that the son-in-law was secretly protected, so they not only exposed their identities, but also lost several brothers, and now there are only three of them left, and they have also become the outlaws wanted by the major families of the Fire Emblem Empire.
So they had to flee for their lives to the Yunlan Empire.
However, there are no borders in the Northern Wilderness, and people from all countries can move freely in it, which means that the people who pursue them are likely to chase them here.
Therefore, the only way out for them now is to flee into the territory of the Yunlan Empire.
But to enter the Yunlan Empire, they also need to spend a lot of gold coins to buy off the guards guarding the customs and let them enter the territory of the Yunlan Empire, and the money they robbed before was basically squandered by them, and they could only continue to rob at the border of the Yunlan Empire.
Now they have been wandering around here for almost a month, and today they finally met a suitable target, that is, Aotian and Mu Ling'er.
