Boom –

"Little Fantasy."

Such a hidden tree hole must have an "owner".

But it doesn't matter, they have already "shadowed" in advance, and know that although this tree hole is risky, the level of risk is not high.

After all, if there is no danger at all, it means that the spirit beasts that occupy this place are not strong.

Not being strong means that there may be other spirit beasts approaching at any time.

There was almost no need to sleep that night, and I needed to be on guard against a sneak attack at any time.

Stronger spirit beasts, at least some weaker ones, don't worry too much.

"Meow!"

The little guy who has been fighting in this forest all day has a lot of experience in how to fight at night.

The battle in the wild, and the battle with the spirit beast of the spirit master, is still very different.

Whew-

Just as they were on the alert, a thick inky vine suddenly pulled out from the lush bushes beside it.

The spikes covered with it are like sharp metal barbs, and when they touch the body, they will definitely open the flesh.

A spirit animal with the "elemental-plant" attribute.

Li Changan took two steps back, and while he opened up the distance, Xiao Fan also easily avoided this attack with his light and dexterous movements.

Whoa—

The thick vines that slapped on the ground left a deep furrow on the ground and slowly dragged it back.

Li Changan's eyes were gray, and his gaze swept back and forth.

"Little Phantom, not in the direction of the vine, on the right, at three o'clock, behind the tree."

Hearing this, the little guy who just wanted to chase the vine away immediately understood that it was just a trap, and escaped into the shadows with a "bang".

When he reappeared, he was already on the tree where Li Changan said.

With its current strength and ability, a tree more than ten meters tall is like walking on the ground.

It ran to the end of the trunk and stomped on the branches, its delicate body moving nimbly between the dense foliage and the stray branches.

Scold!!

The sharp claws suddenly stretched out from under the pad, and before a few leaves could touch the claws, they were split in half by the sharp aura carried on them.

The inky cold light flashed away, and at the same time as the figure fell rapidly, the spiritual energy accumulated on the claws suddenly burst out, and the dexterous eyes locked on the spirit beast hiding in the grass behind the thick tree trunk.

Thorn ——!!

The firelight like the metal collision suddenly burst out, and the grass directly collapsed and scattered under the force of this collision.

At the same time, the guy who was hiding inside was forced out.

It is not very large, about 30 centimeters in height, and it resembles a cactus, and it is covered with dense sharp thorns, which glow with a shiny metallic sheen and look very hard.

The sparks that burst out earlier were created by the collision of the Phantom's "Shadow Claws" with these spikes.

However, although the spikes were hard, they couldn't withstand the impact of Xiao Phantom's sharp claws, and Qi Gen broke a large piece.

At the same time, the spirit beast was also directly slapped away by this impact, pulling out a lot of slender roots and some vines.

"Spiky Eyes."

Seeing its appearance, Li Changan recognized this spirit beast.

Spiked Spirit Palm, an elemental-vegetal spirit beast with a limiting potential for inferior levels.

This one actually has the strength of the negative level of the ninth order, which shows that its hand of "waiting for the rabbit" is very effective, and the nutrients it absorbs are very rich.

Like many thorny "elemental-plant" attribute spirit animals, the spiked spirit is not good at moving, and likes to take root in one place, waiting for the prey to come to the door on its own.

It then attacks with a large number of vines that rise from beneath the ground, confusing the prey's audition so that the prey cannot find its main body.

Obviously, that

The hole in the tree is a trap set by the spiky spirit palm, attracting some spirit beasts who are blindly looking for a place to perch.

Seeing that he got up from the ground and plunged a large number of roots into the ground again, the broken needles on his body had quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The soil beneath the ground around them squirmed rapidly, and several thick vines broke through the ground again, flapping towards where the little illusion was.

"Run."

"Meow—"

The black light flickered again, and Xiao Phantom's figure disappeared from the sight of the Spiky Spirit Palm again, and a cloud of unreal black fog surrounded the Spiky Spirit Palm in a ring.

"The spikes of the Spike Eyes are hard and long enough, and they carry toxins on them, so they can be used to attack hard, but they can easily hurt themselves. However, its weakness is obvious, the rhizome is not protected by spikes, and the target is on that section of the rhizome." Li Changan transmits thoughts through the spiritual scale.

The clever little fantasy responds on the run.

The royal blue eyes, staring at the slightly flustered spiky spiritual palm in the middle, locked onto a not-so-obvious section of the roots under its rolling fat body.

The Spiked Spirit Palm couldn't find Xiao Phantom, but through a collision just now, it could clearly sense that Xiao Phantom's strength was not weak, or stronger than it.

Especially the pair of claws.

Its spikes barely resisted.

"Feint, Shadowclaw!"

Scold!!

The inky black mist that surrounded the spiky spirit eyes suddenly expanded.

Shadowclaw!!

The claws of the three-tailed civet cat of the ink shadow fell again, and the action was done in one go, swift and neat!

There is no superfluous action.

Although the claws were slashed from top to bottom, the Spiked Spirit Palm seemed to sense its purpose, and a large number of spike-covered vines emerged from the ground, like shields, blocking Xiao Phantom's attacks and protecting his fragile rhizomes.

Hmmm——!!

Sure enough, Xiao Phantom's attack was just a false move, and the attack quickly changed from vertical to horizontal, and the dense vines immediately broke under the claws, and thick viscous ink-colored juice flowed out of the fracture.

"Stay out of the way!"

The attack failed again, Li Changan and Xiao Fan were not discouraged, and quickly retreated after defeat.

Sure enough, after Xiao Phantom stepped back, there were immediately vines flapping from the other side.

It's just that because of the timely dodge, it didn't succeed.

Xiao Phantom landed lightly, tapped his toes, and dodged sensitively again, and after two consecutive jumps, he immediately opened a distance of five meters from the spiky spirit palm.

"Beware of poison needles."

Whoa—

As soon as Li Changan's words fell, he saw the body of the spiky spirit palm trembling violently, and a large number of dense spikes carrying the emerald green poison fell densely towards the small illusion.

In order to seize this opportunity for Xiao Phantom to reveal his body, the body of the Spiky Spirit Palm quickly rotated, and almost all the spikes on his body were shot out.

It's just that because Xiao Phantom has opened a long enough distance, these stingers have not yet attacked Xiao Phantom.

"Now!"

Its form flickered, and it disappeared into the shadows again.

"Meow—"

A smart cat meow, from the left side of the spiky spirit palm, the ink shadow quickly condensed, and finally turned into a small illusion.

Bang!!

Seeing this, the spiky spirit eyes panicked, pulled out the vine again, and slammed it towards it.

This time, "Little Fantasy" didn't dodge!

Bang –

However, the spiky spirit palm did not feel a slap on the body, but slapped on the familiar ground.

The "Ink Shadow Three-Tailed Civet" in front of him was like a shadow, dissipating under the lapping of vines, leaving an ink-like residue on the ground.

Fake!

I was shocked.

When I reacted, it was obviously too late to be shocked.

A fierce chill had already appeared behind it.

The only thing the Spike Spirit Eyes can do is to accumulate the power of the elemental attribute and let the spikes on the back recover quickly.

It's a pity that Li Changan and Xiao Fan have already locked its weakness.

Puff –

The sharp claws cut off the vines that were hurriedly resisting, and at the same time cut off those ink-colored vines, they also cut off the rhizomes of the spiky spirit palms.

"Retreat."

After a move fell, Xiao Phantom retreated again without hesitation.

Tuk Tuk Tuk –

The stinging spirit palm's desperate poisonous needle landed again where it had been standing.

With a large amount of juice flowing out, the spiky spirit palm finally fell to the ground, and there was no movement.

The stout vines flying everywhere also softened to the ground at the same time.

"Meow~~"

Xiao Phantom whispered happily, and after staring at the spiked spirit palm with smart eyes and looking up and down for a while, he stretched out his spikes and accurately picked out a dark green spirit core on it.

Ran to Li Chang'an as if to invite merit.

"Well done." Putting away the spirit core, Li Changan smiled and rubbed its head, stuffing it with a piece of dried fish.

It is also a negative-level ninth-order spirit beast, and in addition to slightly bringing some obstacles to Xiao Phantom, the Spiked Spirit Palm can't even fight back.

That's what the little guy is capable of killing at the moment.

Find the weakness of the other party, even if it is a spirit beast of the same level, it can't resist it.

If you change to Kuidou, of course you can win, but it won't be as fast as Xiao Fan, and you will definitely get hurt.

Of course, after being injured, Kaito can also recover quickly with the help of "Root Extraction".

It can only be said that this is the difference brought about by the respective characteristics of the two spirit beasts.

But when I thought that it would be a while, the two spirit beasts would be able to fight cooperatively at the same time......

Li Changan was more or less unable to hold back the excitement in his heart.

The picture is a little beautiful, I don't dare to think about it.

He took out a glass bottle, walked over to the corpse of the Spiked Spirit Palm, cut off the stem near the spirit core, and put it in the bottle.

Soon, the stems melted into inky sticky juice.

"The stem near the Spiked Spirit Eye Palm Spirit Core also has some value." Li Changan also explained in passing.

"Meow~~"

Oh.

The little guy nodded honestly.

"Dig it up and bury it. This is the chassis of this negative-level ninth-order spiky spirit palm, and it has not yet entered the area of the restricted-level spirit beast, so it can sleep peacefully at night."

As for this spirit core, if someone hadn't deliberately bought it at a high price, it could have been kept for Kui Dou.

It's also good as a tonic.

Subsequently, Li Changan and Xiao Fan briefly cleaned up the tree hole together.

The tree is thick enough, so the hole is also big enough, and with a little attention, it can completely shelter from the wind and rain.

"Meow!"

Xiao Phantom, who was just about to flatten the tree hole, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh?"

Looking at the little guy's line of sight, Li Changan was also stunned.

I saw that in the corner of the deep hole of the tree, there was a very small plant, estimated to be only half the size of a palm, which resembled Ganoderma lucidum, emitting a shallow fluorescence, which was completely covered by weeds and fallen leaves before, and now I could see its full picture.

"Frost Luzhi."

This is a relatively rare spiritual material, the value is not low, the effect is to strengthen the spirituality of the "elemental-plant" attribute spirit animal, and at the same time have the effect of restoration.

If you make it into a potion, the effect will be even better.

I didn't expect to reap such a "surprise".

Li Changan squatted down, brushed aside the soil around Frost Luzhi, and saw some white bones buried underneath.

Suddenly revealed.

"It turns out that the Spiky Eyes are hiding here, not using the hole in the tree as a trap, but as a bait to seduce. At the same time, it can also bury the bones of the spirit beasts that have been "caught" underneath to speed up its growth."

It is "fishing", but also protection.

That's it......

Li Changan showed a helpless smile, "Then this tree hole can't be lived."

If there is only one spiky spirit palm, it is better to say, if it is solved, it can occupy its place as a temporary residence.

But the existence of Frost Luzhi, after the disappearance of the spiky spirit palm, is very likely to cause some wild spirit beasts to desire it and choose to take risks.

One or two might be fine, but if there were too many......

"Looks like we're going to have to change places."

Li Changan could only accept it "with tears".

Carefully digging it out with the soil attached to the roots and tendrils, and storing it in a special container.

Xiao Phantom grinned, it's all money.

Suddenly.

Its ears twitched.

As if he was aware of it, his expression was instantly serious, and at the same time, he whispered, "Meow!"

Li Changan, who understood its meaning, also changed slightly.

"Shadow!"

The hazy thick inky mist spread rapidly, and a large amount of black mist enveloped them together, and soon disappeared into the shadows under the night.

I have to admit that the woods are the home of Kuidou, and the woods at night are also the home of Xiao Fan.

With its help, a man and a spirit beast quickly climbed to the tree and hid in the dense bushes.

Saw.

In the dim woods, several figures approached slowly.

This came a little fast.

Xiao Phantom pricked up his ears, its hearing was much stronger than Li Changan's, and the sound it heard was transmitted to him intact.

"It should be around here, I noticed that there is a spiritual material in this piece before, but there is a negative level ninth-order spiked spirit eye guarding it, and we don't dare to approach."

"With Brother Tao here this time, he must be able to catch it."

"That's that, to Brother Tao, what is a mere negative level ninth-order spike spirit palm? Our brother Tao is here this time for the thing in the "Hidden Forest".

"Humph! Wait for you to guard me to prevent wild spirit beasts that don't have long eyes from coming."

"Understood, understood!"

"If it's true, you're going to benefit from it."

"Yes, yes......"

A few simple sentences allowed Li Changan to get a lot of information.

The three people should be robbers and do not belong to the "Hidden Forest" gang, but it is uncertain whether they belong to the "thief" or the "spark".

And judging by their posture, they should be coming for the Spiky Spirit Palm and Frost Luzhi.

However, things have been taken by Li Changan.

He didn't really want to meet the three of them, especially since they were blind to the Spiky Eyes.

Besides, they are not the people of the "Hidden Forest", not his target.

"But if we don't destroy a stronghold in the Hidden Forest, we will ...... if we run out?"

"A spiky spirit palm, soon."

"That's it! If you're afraid of this or that, go back yourself."

Li Changan, who was just about to leave, retracted his body again when he heard these words.

The stronghold of the "Hidden Forest"?

"Meow?"

Xiao Phantom quietly moved his lips.

How?

There was no worry or fear, but a little bit of a jump.

There are three people on the other side, even if they are all second-order spirit masters, then there are at least three spirit beasts.

And the person who can ignore the negative-level ninth-order spiked spirit palm, the person at the head is most likely a third-order spirit master.

That's not good news.

Li Changan chuckled, "The advantage is ours."

They are in the shadows, and the three robbers are in the light, and that's the advantage.

As he spoke, he carefully pulled out a thumb-sized glass vial containing a light purple potion.

This thing was left to him by Granny Gu.

But so far there has been no opportunity to use it.

For no other reason, it's a bottle of poison.

And it is also one of the most proud poisons of Gu Poma.

"With the Touch of Shadows, put it down and put it in the hollow of the tree." Li Changan said through the spiritual balance.

The distance between the other party is close enough, and they have a wealth of experience in the field, and if they speak out, they will obviously be discovered by the other party.

The knowing little guy agitated spirituality, and the dark tentacles sank into the shadow of the tree trunk, grabbing the small purple bottle and quietly placing it in the hollow of the tree.

"Don't forget to uncork."

"Meow~~"

Not only did he open the cap of the bottle, Xiao Phantom even rolled up some dead leaves on the ground to cover them up.

After doing this, he winked playfully at Li Changan.

"Eat."

Li Changan rubbed its furry head and took out two small light blue pills.

This is the antidote.

After eating one person and one spirit beast, they silently waited for the "prey" to approach.

The hunters used to be spiky claws, but now the hunters are them.

And the common bait is the hollow of the tree, and the frost dew.

A thin purple mist escaped from the glass bottle, quickly dissipating into the air without producing even a special smell.

Should the Soul Master hit the head?

Inexistent.

Should the Soul Master be above board and not engage in those "small actions"?

Nor does it exist.

For the knowledge imparted in these schools, Li Changan sneered at Li Changan, who had seen the dark side of so many cities.

Finding the opponent and getting rid of the opponent is the real rule of survival among the spirit masters.

A second-order spirit master can't defeat a third-order spirit master or even a fourth-order spirit master?

As long as you find the right way, ordinary people can solve the spirit master.

After all, it is the spirit beast that is really powerful, and the spirit master is only the beneficiary, or the biggest beneficiary.

Click-

"Be small!"

"Alright, you're here, vigil."

"Got it, Brother Tao."

The two stayed where they were, but the leader named "Brother Tao" waved his hand, and a bat hiding in the shadows and hovered beside him, flapping its wings and hovering beside him.

Plague Blood Bat.

Through the hazy night, Li Changan saw the appearance of the bat clearly.

At the same time, I finally felt a lot of pressure.

A plague blood bat with a limited level of superior potential, a spirit beast with the "chaos" attribute.

This Brother Tao, it's really possible that he is a third-order spirit master.

Li Changan didn't dare to use his soul vision, for fear that the other party would notice.

If it was really a third-order spirit master, there might be a spirit beast hiding in the shadows.

He was ready to flee as soon as the situation was wrong.

With Fantasy's flexible manipulation of shadows, coupled with the assistance of tools and materials such as "Stirring Ink", as well as the influence of poisons, escaping in the dim woods still has a great success rate.

So now the question.

It's when the other party can find out that the situation is wrong, and how many poisons will be affected.

And that Brother Tao was just close to the territory of the Spiky Spirit Palm, and after seeing the ground around him and some traces, he quickly realized that something was wrong.

He frowned, crouched on the ground, and waved his hand at the plague blood bat dangling over his head.

Buzz –

Circles of invisible sound waves emanated from its mouth, pricking up its ears and waiting for feedback. z.br>

Seeing this, Li Changan immediately put his hand on Xiao Huan's head.

Adjust.

A level proficiency "Shadow Escape" plus "Ink Shadow"!

Two A-level proficiency skills greatly increase their concealment.

And Li Changan's eyes were tightly locked on the plague blood bat, once it had any abnormal movements, there was no need to hesitate, run as soon as possible!

One person and one spirit beast, closed their mouths at the same time, and held their breath.

Bang bang bang - bang bang -

The gradually accelerating heartbeat kept echoing in their ears, and Brother Tao, who was squatting on the ground, also slowly stood up.
