A black shadow appeared behind Qin Tao and his party like a ghost, and suddenly, a black light flew out like lightning, and the sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, and time seemed to come to an abrupt end at that moment.

The alert Qin Tao immediately pounced on Qi Ya beside him and avoided the danger. But the two Mambas sitting on Kia's left were not so lucky, the black mangs sharply slashed their throats, red blood spurted out like a column of water, and in the blink of an eye, they were killed.

"What people!" Qin Tao didn't care about the dead clansmen, he had to deal with the sneak attackers first.

Judging from the black shadow's technique, Qin Tao concluded that he should be a cultivator who was good at assassination. However, the black shadow was unusual, and actually rushed out from behind the tree to attack.

The Black Shadow is a muscular figure whose face is unrecognizable due to being wrapped in a nightwalk and masked.

What Qin Tao hated most was killing people for no reason, and he was suddenly filled with anger, his killing intent rose, and the flames of his hands poured out and ran towards the black shadow.

The cold light flickered, and the black shadow flashed a short-bladed dagger, and under the effect of soul power, a light blue halo appeared on the blade, revealing a thick murderous aura.

The man in black was a ninth-order soul master, and the sneak attack was just to test whether there was a master, and at this time, he couldn't help but be very proud, and his vigilance had long been left behind.

Since the news of the Divine Tree spread across the continent, bloodshed has occurred every day in the East Needle Forest, and killing and being killed has almost become a necessity.

"Killing my people will make you pay for your blood debts!" Qin Tao roared angrily, and the flames burst out like two fists, directly taking the heavenly spirit cover of the man in black.

The strong soul pressure rushed out with the flames, and the man in black only felt that his body was stagnant, and his heart was secretly frightened. He didn't expect that this fifth-order soul master in front of him would burst out with such terrifying power.

However, at this moment, Qin Tao's fists had already smashed down with all his might, and the flames devoured the black shadow like a beast, and a strong force blasted into his body from the top of his head.

The cold light dagger stopped in mid-air, and the man in black snorted, and blood instantly flowed from the corners of his eyes. His eyes straightened, his pupils dilated suddenly, and his body immediately went limp. Until the last moment, his eyes were still full of disbelief, and he died at the hands of a teenager because of his arrogance.

The fire burned the man in black, emitting a thick smell of black smoke and burning, and the corpse gradually turned to ashes. Qin Tao looked at the black ash on the ground, and the anger in his heart eased slightly, but he still had a trace of remorse, after all, those two clansmen had suffered miserably.

Qi Ya and the others were stunned in place, from the short time from being attacked to Qin Tao's blade of the enemy, they had been in fear, and they had not come back to their senses for a while.

The soul bag of the man in black lay quietly on the ground, and at this time it had become an ownerless thing. Qin Tao counted the contents of the bag, which contained a black medal in addition to some beast pills and medicinal herbs. A ring of steel seals rises on the iron medallion, and the word "kill" is clearly engraved in the seal.

Checking the medal in his hand, Qin Tao was puzzled: "This is?"

Zhou Ling, who was floating in the air, came over, and when he saw the medal, he immediately exclaimed: "This is the killer medal of 'Killing the Sea'!"

"Is Killing the Sea a killer organization?" Qin Tao asked.

Zhou Ling shook his head, a hint of mystery appeared in his eyes: "Tao'er, maybe one day you will go there too." This sentence made Qin Tao confused, Zhou Ling's selling like this is really unbearable.

Zhou Ling stroked his beard, looked at the sky, his thoughts seemed to drift to the clouds, and he began to murmur: "It is definitely a place where wonder and adventure coexist......"

Qin Tao shook his head helplessly, and put the medal into the soul ring, he could only think that "Killing the Sea" was a holy place that high-level cultivators yearned for.

After a long time, Zhou Ling came back to his senses from his thoughts. Seeing Qin Tao looking at him in surprise, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." Tao'er, you have to keep that medal, maybe you can use it when you cultivate in the future. ”

Qin Tao let out an "oh" and asked casually, "Grandpa Bing, this sea killing is useful for cultivation?"

Zhou Ling smiled faintly: "It's not just useful, when you really go, you will know, there is definitely a huge temptation there." ”

"Could it be that there are nine life sources hidden in the sea killing!" Thinking of this, Qin Tao couldn't help but have a trace of yearning for killing the sea.

At this time, the three of them had regained their composure, but the loss of their companion still made them a little sad. Qin Tao cremated the dead clansmen with flames, and said lightly: "Let's go." ”

The tears in the eyes of Qi Ya and the three of them swirled, nodded vigorously, and followed Qin Tao into the grass.

But after taking a few steps, Qin Tao keenly smelled a trace of uneasiness, and subconsciously raised his arm horizontally, signaling Qi Ya and them to stop.

Qiya blinked her eyes wide and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Qin Tao's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his ears were erected, and his eyes were staring at the front, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

Qi Ya glanced at each other and wanted to walk forward, while muttering, "What a fuss." ”

"Go back!"

A low roar startled the three of them, but the vast grass was empty at the moment, and there was no danger at all.

A drop of cold sweat slipped down his forehead quietly, Qin Tao stared at the grass in front of him, and two words burst out of his mouth: "It's here!"

As soon as the words fell, the earth suddenly began to tremble, and the rumbling sound was endless, followed by a burst of chirping and screaming, and a black shadow suddenly poured out of the grass not far away.

The shadow covered the grass like a black cloud, rushing towards Qin Tao and the others at an extremely fast speed. For a while, the grass was dusty, and the ground was moving, as if a huge army was rampant.

One of the clansmen suddenly shouted, "What's that?"

It was only then that they could really see the black shadow, with long ears and fangs, a huge body, a slender tail flicked behind them, and a constant "squeaking" sound from their mouths, which was obviously characteristic of mice.

"Earth Shadow Rats...... Qin Tao said in a deep voice, waving his hand vigorously, signaling the other three to retreat quickly.

The three of them, who were not cultivators, didn't know what the Earth Shadow Rats were, but from their huge numbers and huge size, they also knew how terrifying each other was, so they obediently withdrew from the grass.

A few people climbed the nearest tree, but the Shadow Rats didn't seem to be targeting them. After rushing into the woods, the rat colony did not stop, and continued to run forward.

"Strange, what is it that makes the Earth Shadow Rats migrate in such a large number?" Qin Tao couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

During the winter training, he had seen the Earth Shadow Rat, and he also learned that this kind of soul beast generally lived in a large area of grassland and lived in crypts. Due to their social population, their nests can even be hundreds of meters underground, but they never migrate unless there are special circumstances.

Qin Tao had also sensed something strange with his soul power before, but he didn't know that it was the Earth Shadow Rats, thinking that it was a powerful cultivator.

In fact, the strength of the Earth Shadow Rat alone is not strong, even the Rat King can only reach level five, but the extremely large number of them together is a very terrifying force.

Zhou Ling, who was suspended in the air, spoke: "Maybe the Divine Tree is really here, but all divine objects will be accompanied by some visions of heaven and earth before they are born, and those who can perceive these visions are the soul beasts living nearby." ”

Qin Tao looked at the vast green carpet, the grass had returned to normal at this time, and there were faint bursts of white mist floating in the distance, and the inexplicable mountain wind passed by from time to time, overturning the grass as if it were playing.

Qi Ya on the side suddenly said: "According to my grandfather, if an animal abnormality occurs, it means that the Divine Tree may appear early. ”

Qin Tao looked at her, and there seemed to be a trace of doubt in his eyes: "How could Grandpa Wencheng know such a secret?"

It is not an exaggeration to call this kind of thing a secret, after all, the time of the appearance of such a divine object may only be known to the gods.

Ke Qiya smiled and said, "Grandpa once got an ancient stone carving by chance in the deep mountains, and these things are recorded on it. ”

Qin Tao suddenly said to himself in his heart: "If what Qi Ya said is true, then the Divine Tree is very likely to appear in the past two days, and tonight is the most likely." ”

"Tao'er, I don't know if you have noticed, except for the Earth Shadow Rats, there don't seem to be any soul beasts in this grassland. Zhou Ling suddenly reminded.

Qin Tao was stunned, and immediately jumped off the branch and walked into the grass, and Qi Ya and the three of them hurriedly followed in confusion. Picking up the grass one by one, Qin Tao exclaimed: "Sure enough, no!"

At this time, he once again affirmed the migration of soul beasts, not only the Earth Shadow Mouse, but now there are no soul beasts on the grass, not even insects. Does the abnormal migration really mean that the time of appearance is advanced, Qin Tao hesitated in his heart.

Seeing Qin Tao deep in thought, Qi Ya let out a sigh of helplessness and complained: "Hey, I said, we are not here to accompany you to think, our purpose is to find the Divine Tree!"

One word woke up Qin Tao, making him feel a little remorseful, he was indeed here to find the Divine Tree, why was he entangled in the problem of soul beast migration.

Patting his forehead, Qin Tao smiled slightly awkwardly, raised his hand to the white mist in the distance, and said, "Yes, let's go." Target, Abyss!"

(The sacred tree is coming soon, ask for collection, ask for recommendation!)
