Everyone entered the secret realm and finally escaped from the flames of Huodang Mountain and got a chance to breathe.
Xu Chunniang looked at the secret realm in front of her, surprise flashing in her eyes.
The secret realm she was in was not as vast and desolate as the void, nor was it as hot and unbearable as Huodang Mountain. There were many trees up to a hundred feet high growing here, which were strong and straight, giving people a sense of vastness and simplicity.
Because the trees are so tall, you can't see their heads at a glance. When you are among them, you feel as small as an ant.
This is not an exaggeration at all, it is purely because the trees in the secret realm are so huge that even the most ordinary leaf can easily completely wrap up anyone present.
This was not the first time for Chen Xi and the other three earth demons to enter this secret realm. They were already accustomed to these tall trees. Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, he took out a small bottle and sprinkled the powder in the bottle evenly around them. Bian explained.
"It is said that the ancient witch clan was very tall, which is why the plants and trees here are so huge. However, these things are just larger in size. There is nothing special about them, so you don't need to pay too much attention to them.
This place is called Baizhang Forest. It is relatively safe. There is no black breath here, so we don’t have to worry too much when absorbing magic crystals. We will rest here for three hours and set off again after three hours. "
"He's lying."
The rabbit-eared female cultivator calmly approached Xu Chunniang and whispered, "The ancient witch clan is very powerful. There is no so-called safe place in this secret realm, and Baizhang Forest is no exception.
But there was indeed good stuff in that bottle. What was in the bottle was powder ground from the bones of the Wu tribe. The smell from the powder could scare the beasts in the forest, but the smell was a bit strange. "
The bones of the witch clan?
Sure enough, Xu Chunniang smelled a strange smell. The source of the smell was the powder that Chen Xi had sprinkled.
"You know quite a lot."
"If you want to get the Witch God Flower, how can you do it without making some preparations in advance? I'm here prepared. If you cooperate with me, you will never suffer any loss.
Forget it, let’s quickly restore the magic energy. I don’t have such a good thing on hand. If the magic energy runs out in a while, we may not have time to replenish it slowly. "
After saying that, the rabbit-eared female cultivator sat down cross-legged, took out the magic crystal and quickly absorbed it.
Xu Chunniang withdrew her gaze and followed the example of others to take out the magic crystal to replenish the consumed magic energy in her body.
With the protection of Wu Clan bone powder, there was no danger in the next three hours.
Three hours later, seeing that the demonic energy in everyone's bodies had almost recovered, the team leader Chen Xi announced that they would continue on their way.
“After crossing the Baizhang Forest, there is the Wubu River in front of us. Following the Wubu River all the way up, we will reach the destination of our trip - Shashe.
Shashe is the former residence of the ancient Witch Clan. There are many caves left by the Witch Clan buried there. No matter who discovers a Witch Clan cave, they will be rewarded with 20,000 magic crystals! "
Twenty thousand magic crystals!
Everyone's thoughts were floating, and their eyes showed longing.
As long as they find a Witch Clan cave, they can get 20,000 magic crystals. This reward is extremely generous. After all, they have to work hard to go out of the city with the team and only earn a few thousand magic crystals for more than half a month.
The only two people who knew something about Wu Sui's secret realm didn't have much joy on their faces. Shashe was still far away from here. Not to mention the Wu Bu River ahead, there were also many dangers in the Baizhang Forest right now. .
Let’s get to Shashe alive first.
Led by Chen Xi and three other earth demons, the group walked quietly and quickly through the Baizhang Forest. However, without the protection of the Wu Clan's bone powder, they were soon targeted by the ferocious beasts in the forest.
Before everyone could react, they felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind, followed by a sudden scream, followed by a numbing chewing sound.
The remaining nine people looked back and saw a huge mountain cat squatting on a branch a hundred feet away on a giant tree, licking the hair on its paws gracefully.
At the corners of its mouth, there were still a few traces of blood that had not been cleaned up.
Everyone's hair stood on end as they stared at the mountain cat in the distance as if they were facing a powerful enemy. If the mountain cat had attacked them just now, I'm afraid they would be the ones who died now.
Xu Chunniang was also startled and broke into a cold sweat. The speed of this mountain civet was so fast that no one could see clearly how it took action and how it ate the unlucky guy who was captured.
"Team Chen, what should we do? The mountain fox is too strong. I am afraid it is not inferior to the demon. We are no match for it! How about running away?"
"Can't escape!"
Chen Xi's heart was no less frightened than the others, but after thinking about the habits of this mountain civet, he forced himself to calm down and calmly transmitted the message to the others.
"Before I entered the secret realm, I had heard about the habits of this ferocious beast. It is naughty in nature and likes to watch its prey struggling to death. If we run away, we will not be able to match its speed, but will be caught up one by one. Play till death!”
"You can't escape, and you can't fight again and again, so what should you do?"
"wait."
Chen Xi stared at the mountain raccoon in the distance with vigilance and continued to say, "When it loses interest in us, it will naturally leave."
After listening to the countermeasures given by Chen Xi, many people frowned secretly, feeling that this method was really unreliable. How could they trust their lives to the mercy of the ferocious beast?
But under the eyes of Shan Li, no one dared to act rashly. Even if they had opinions in their hearts, they did not express them.
Because the mountain fox in the distance had already cleaned up the blood on the corner of its mouth and was looking at everyone with interest.
It looks at this one and that one, as if comparing which one is more delicious.
Everyone who was swept by its gaze was frightened, fearing that they would be torn into pieces by the mountain fox's giant claws in the next second.
A thick shadow shrouded everyone's hearts, and the sense of oppression brought by the mountain cats was too strong.
In this suffocating atmosphere, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "This kind of waiting is too torture. Instead of passively waiting for luck to come, I would rather give it a try!"
As he spoke, he swayed and fled away from the mountain fox.
"Ouch!"
The originally squinted eyes of the mountain fox suddenly widened, and it stared excitedly at the escaping figure. It arched its body and leaped in the air, bringing out gusts of wind and a series of afterimages.
The next moment, the screams sounded again, and the man who escaped fell into the mouth of the mountain fox and became silent for an instant.
While the mountain fox was holding the prey in its mouth, it did not forget to turn around and look at the other eight people, with a hint of showing off in its expression.
Witnessing the entire process of the mountain fox attacking with their own eyes, the remaining eight people gained a deeper understanding of the mountain fox's strength.
With their escape speed, they couldn't outrun this mountain cat, which was known for its speed.
