Chapter 16: The Misty Forest
"The Misty Forest, also known as the Lost Forest, was originally the largest elixir garden in the Chiba Sect, due to the large scale of spiritual grass planting and the number of exotic flowers and plants, it was called the "Ten Thousand Saints Spirit Garden" by the world for a while; However, five thousand years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky and fell into the center of the Spirit Grass Garden, emitting an endless mist, and directly destroying the original formation barrier set up by the sect, and overnight, countless thunder beasts poured into it, and even some descendants of high-level divine beasts also moved into it;
The most bizarre thing is that the disciples of the sect went to take the risk of picking the spirit grass, and all of them were inevitably lost in this forest, and the sect finally sent three elders of the god transformation period to rescue them, but they were also seriously injured and returned, and they disappeared and said that once they entered the core area of the spirit grass garden, they would be attacked by miasma, causing damage to the soul, and those who did not have a strong spirit and great perseverance would be lost in it, which is also the origin of the name Lost Forest.
For thousands of years after that, no one dared to set foot in the Spirit Grass Garden, until the sect spent thousands of years repairing and perfecting the original sect formation, and after the original site of the Spirit Medicine Garden was included in the sect's forbidden land, the outer area was opened to the sect's disciples, but even so, this place is also extremely dangerous!"
Liu Cheng looked at the misty forest in front of him and said slowly, with deep worry in his tone.
"Senior Brother Liu, will there be ghosts in there?" After listening to Liu Cheng's description, everyone was in a cold sweat, how did it sound gloomy, Qin Wanqiu, who had a pale face, asked Liu Cheng uncertainly.
"Uh-I haven't heard of this yet! Senior sister, don't worry too much! The biggest risk on the periphery, like the hunting garden, is mainly high-level thunder beasts! After all, here, the fog is thick, the eyes are not enough, it is difficult to detect the danger with the naked eye, we can only rely on hearing and our divine sense!" Liu Cheng looked at Miss Qin, who was scared, and explained patiently.
"Then what are you afraid of, let's go! As long as there are no ghosts, everything is wrapped up in Miss Ben! Isn't it just a few thunder beasts? We can't see it, they are just as blind, even if there is a dare to sneak attack Miss Ben, I will kill it!" As soon as Qin Wanqiu heard that there were no ghosts, her originally pale face became rosy, holding a short sword in her right hand, pointing to the front, and said coawardly, obviously forgetting the embarrassment of being chased by the thorn-tailed thunder rhinoceros before.
Cao Bin, Liu Cheng, and Ye Xuan looked at each other and smiled, the fear in their hearts actually disappeared a lot after Miss Qin's domineering declaration, everyone no longer hesitated, and slowly walked towards the fog, while carefully listening to the surrounding movements, while releasing their divine sense to carefully scan the fog in front of them, after all, not only is the fog thick here, but the trees are luxuriant, and a thunder beast may jump out of the slightest wind and grass.
The breeze blew lightly overhead, the verdant willow branches gently lapped against each other, making a "stinging" sound, and from time to time a few birds swept by, making cheerful calls, except for the occasional mournful roar from the depths of the forest, everything seemed so quiet. Because of this tranquility, everyone became more and more nervous, so much so that they could hear each other's heartbeats.
Everyone walked forward slowly, carefully removing the weeds and branches that blocked the way, trying not to make a sound, until after a stick of incense, Cao Bin, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly signaled everyone to stop through his divine sense, and lightly brushed away a thick tuft of wild grass in front of them.
This time the thunder beast is called the Spirit Devouring Beast, it is a first-order thunder beast, its attack power is weak, but its body speed is extremely fast, and its olfactory sensitivity to the spirit grass far exceeds that of humans.
"Di-Di" Two short low chirps suddenly came from Qin Wanqiu's body, and the spirit devouring beast in front of him seemed to be greatly frightened, holding a ball of soil and fleeing into the distance, its body making a sound through the leaves.
"Hurry up! It's holding the nine spice orchids!" Qin Wanqiu didn't have the slightest sense of doing something wrong, and she didn't care about the need for absolute silence here to prevent the thunder beast from attacking, she grinned, copied her one hundred and twenty decibel volume, and shouted at everyone, and before the words fell, she flew towards the direction of the spirit devouring beast's escape.
Where did everyone have time to blame her, without any hesitation, they also chased after her. Qin Wanqiu's body technique was very fast, and it didn't take long for Ye Xuan to hear "Huh!" With a bang, Qin Wanqiu's short sword was accurately inserted into the head of the Spirit Devouring Beast, nailing the latter's body firmly to a tree trunk, and Miss Qin carefully took off the Nine Spice Orchid from the mouth of the Spirit Devouring Beast, put it in the storage ring, and smiled proudly at the three of them.
At this moment, Ye Xuan and the three of them did not have the slightest joy to complete the task, they all looked around cautiously, after all, the action just now was so big, if it attracted the attention of other thunder beasts, the four of them would be finished, where was the mood to care about Qin Wanqiu, they all prayed silently in their hearts, don't alarm those perverted thunder beasts! Apparently disturbed, the thunderbeasts were coming at everyone.
"I'm grass, run, run to the mountains!" Ye Xuan let out a loud shout, pulled up Qin Wanqiu, who was stunned beside him, as if he had done something wrong, and rushed towards the top of the mountain with thunderous power all over his body.
"Huh-" A long wolf-like howl sounded in the world, followed by a long series of thunder beast roars, as if the wolf king was summoning wolves.
"It's a Flame Blood Thunder Wolf!" Liu Cheng, who was running desperately, said with a frightened expression.
The Flame Blood Thunder Wolf, the absolute overlord in the forests of the Eastern Regions, has the highest attack power of an adult single body that can reach the level of the Spiritual Silence Period, and it is only at the upper middle level among the Thunder Beasts, but they are all dispatched in groups, and there are hundreds of large wolf packs, just imagine, what kind of Thunder Beast can defeat hundreds of Spiritual Silence Period powerhouses at the same time?
"Go up the tree!" Ye Xuan also frowned, thinking that the wolves in his previous life couldn't climb trees, he immediately shouted at everyone, pulled Qin Wanqiu and jumped onto a tree dozens of meters high, and then shielded his breathing, shrunk his body, and cautiously scanned the surroundings.
After only three breaths, there were dozens of strange-looking flame-blooded thunder wolves standing in the area where everyone was forward, more than two feet long, half a foot tall, lips a little turned out, revealing rows of extremely sharp fangs, which were very scary, scarlet tongues licking back and forth, and a pair of eyes that seemed to come from hell turned up and down, as if they were searching.
Suddenly, dozens of flame-blooded thunder wolves naturally divided into two rows, all of them prostrate respectfully, their huge heads sticking to the ground, as if they were greeting something. Divine sense probed, only to see a height of more than three zhang, more than a foot tall, more than a large flame blood thunder wolf majesticly walked over, suddenly jumped, landed in the center of the wolves, after a long roar, all the flame blood thunder wolf actually began to tremble, the body couldn't help trembling, like a slave who had done something wrong waiting for the punishment of this angry master.
The extra-large flame-blooded thunder wolf seemed to be very satisfied with the submission of the slaves, slowly spit out a scarlet tongue and shook back and forth in the air, the huge nostrils contracted and expanded rhythmically, and suddenly, a deafening roar came out of his mouth, and his limbs kicked hard, and his huge body directly hit the big tree where Cao Bin was, and the big tree as thick as a bucket actually had a precursor to breaking, making a crackling sound, and the rest of the wolves seemed to get an order, with a terrifying roar, they all crashed towards the tree where everyone was.
"Jump!"
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly jumped towards the treetops beside them. Jumping one tree, the wolves hitting one tree, four humans and dozens of bloody thunder wolves launched a thrilling chase and escape drama in this fog.
A stick of incense!
Two pillars of incense!
Three sticks of incense!
n incense!
Everyone didn't know how many big trees they had jumped, but they only knew that their bodies were getting thunderier and louder, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the wolves were getting more and more ferocious!
One of the times, the tree that Cao Bin jumped was too small, and before his body could stabilize, the tree under him was knocked down by three angry flame-blooded thunder wolves, and he was about to fall into the wolves, at a critical juncture, fortunately, Ye Xuan drew his bow and shot an arrow in time, and a white feather was accurately inserted into the eye of the flame-blooded thunder wolf whose teeth were almost attached to the back of Cao Bin's head, Cao Bin survived, and quickly jumped to another larger treetop, and glanced at Ye Xuan with a smile on his face.
"Speed up and jump up the mountain! These wolf cubs must have a reason to go crazy like this, maybe we will be safe at the top of the mountain!" Ye Xuan looked at the tired three teammates and said encouragingly, after all, the physical strength consumed by such a long time of running is quite amazing, if it weren't for the ** who survived to always support him, everyone would have been tired and lying down.
Looking at the endless fog in front of him, Ye Xuan's heart was also bottomless, but he was no longer allowed to think about it at this moment, everything would wait until he escaped the fierce wolves in front of him!
"Tell Senior Brother Chen! Four disciples have gone to the Misty Forest today and have not yet returned. And-Ye Xuan is also inside!" The middle-aged man of the law enforcement team who was in charge of transporting Ye Xuan and the others into before said worriedly to the black-clothed young man in front of him.
"Ye Xuan, but some time ago, my master's appointed junior brother?" The young man was none other than the only apprentice of the law enforcement elder, Chen Hao, who was also the captain of the first law enforcement team, and was also stunned by this news, after all, the Misty Forest had not had an accident for many years.
"Exactly!" The middle-aged man replied worriedly.
Chen Hao paced back and forth in place for a few steps, a pair of sword eyebrows furrowed tightly, suddenly raised his head, and said to the middle-aged man: "Pass my order! The law enforcement team will all assemble, and tonight, go into the forest to rescue! At the same time, report the matter that the sect has issued here!"
