After following and eavesdropping, Ye Hong finally understood what these people were here for. The three people heard that the fire phoenix was not in the sycamore forest for the time being.
The three of them got the news that Fire Phoenix had an egg, and wanted to steal her egg while Fire Phoenix was away.
After knowing their purpose, Ye Hong suddenly had a new idea. After staying away from a few people, he quietly told Feng Shuting his plan.
Then a man ran boldly in the direction of the egg-stealing trio, and soon entered their sight.
"Three big brothers! Wait for me!" Ye Hong shouted breathlessly.
"Who are you!" The three of them looked at Ye Hong warily.
"Three eldest brothers! My name is Ye Hong. I came here to hunt for treasures after hearing others say that there are treasures here. You must be treasure hunters too! How about we form a team together?"
Sensing that Ye Hong was only at the third level of the Soul Tribulation Realm, several people also lowered their guard a little and said contemptuously: "You are here to hunt for treasures with your level of cultivation. You are here to seek death!"
Ye Hong said confidently: "My cultivation level is a bit low, but I have the heart to get rich overnight! If I find a treasure and get a great opportunity, it will be worth it! Risks and benefits coexist at the same time!" The higher the risk, the greater the return.”
"He really wants money over his life!"
"We are not short of people here! Your cultivation level is too low, go away! Don't block the way."
Seeing that the three of them were about to leave, Ye Hong hurriedly chased after them, "Big brothers, please stay away! Take your younger brother with you! Although my cultivation level is low, I can still do a lot of things!"
"Get away! If you follow us again, we'll kill you!"
"Why are you like this! You always want to kill people! I have good intentions and want to team up with you to hunt for treasures. If you don't bring me, I won't! I can find the treasures by myself."
After Ye Hong finished speaking, he took out a long sword in front of several people, took the sword into the air, and planned to leave.
"Earth level spiritual weapon!"
"Brother, this kid has something! How about we..." One of them said and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Didn't you see that he can control spiritual weapons? He can control spiritual weapons with his Soul Tribulation Realm cultivation level. Maybe he has hidden his cultivation level. Don't do anything!"
The leading man was indeed coveted for the spiritual weapon on Ye Hong, and planned to keep Ye Hong behind first to find out the details.
"Brother Ye! Wait a minute, dare to ask Brother Ye what level of cultivation you are? We are going to a very dangerous place on this trip, and we are afraid that your cultivation level is too low and you will die in vain! If your cultivation level is suitable, we will also It’s not that I can’t take you!”
Ye Hong said: "My cultivation level is at the third level of Soul Tribulation Realm. Although my cultivation level is a bit low, my combat power is beyond that of Soul Tribulation Realm."
"How can you control spiritual weapons with your Soul Tribulation Realm cultivation? It seems that Brother Ye is not telling the truth!"
"The reason I can control spiritual weapons is because I accidentally obtained a secret method, which allows me to control spiritual weapons with my Soul Tribulation Realm cultivation level."
The man smiled and said: "Brother Ye is such a good opportunity. Since Brother Ye has extraordinary fighting power, let's form a team together! One more person means more strength. My name is Li Feng, and these two are my second and third brothers. Li Yong, Li An.”
"Hello, three brothers Li! I just heard from brother Li Feng that this trip has a destination. I wonder if there is any treasure?"
"We have to talk about the treasure in detail, and we won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. Now that Brother Ye has joined the team, we need to get to know each other first, so that we can take care of each other when we are in danger."
"I wonder what level Brother Ye's combat power can reach?"
"I really haven't tried this carefully. The three eldest brothers can come here to hunt for treasures, so they must be at a high level of cultivation! Next, I hope that the three eldest brothers will take more care of the younger brother. I wonder what level of cultivation the three eldest brothers are now?"
"It's easy to talk about! I am currently in the late stage of Yuanying, and my second and third brothers have all reached the early stage of Yuanying. We are going to the middle of this sycamore forest to look for opportunities. You can come with us! We will get the treasure by then. It’s indispensable for you.”
"Thank you, Brother Li Feng!"
Then Li Feng and the others took Ye Hong and set off deeper into the woods, chatting along the way.
While Li Yong was chatting with Ye Hong, Li An quietly approached Li Feng and asked, "Brother, why don't you just let me kill this kid and seize his spiritual weapon?"
"His details are not clear yet. Whether he is lying or not needs to be further confirmed. After arriving at the location, he may encounter some dangers. It seems that the boy is not very smart. When the time comes, let this boy help us explore the way ahead. .
If there is really a dangerous situation, we can also try to find out his details. If this kid really only has the fighting power of the Soul Tribulation Realm, it won't be too late for us to kill people and seize treasures.
Now let him follow the team and make some contributions. You can also try to trap him to see if he has any treasures. "
After chatting all the way, of course, the information Ye Hong wanted the three people to know was revealed to the other party. What he didn't want the other party to know, the other party couldn't find out anything.
Li Feng and the others would not tell Ye Hong everything. They would only tell trivial things and there would be no useful information.
After walking in the sycamore forest for a long time, I didn't see any monsters, only the fiery red sycamore leaves and thick sycamore trees.
Ye Hong also guessed that maybe as the old man of Qinyuan said, there was only one monster in the entire sycamore forest, and that was the fire phoenix.
"Brother Ye, do you have any treasure with you? I can't feel the heat around you when I get close to you."
"It's not a treasure, it's just an object I got by chance that can withstand the heat."
"Brother Ye has had a lot of adventures! Judging from Brother Ye's appearance, he must be the son of a wealthy family. I wonder where Brother Ye is from?"
"It doesn't count as a big family, it's just a small family, not worth mentioning."
…
The deeper they went, Ye Hong found that Li Feng and the others were struggling more and more. In order to resist the increasing temperature in the woods, they had been consuming a lot of internal energy to resist the high temperature.
Ye Hong felt much more relaxed now. With the Ice Soul Bead, he could not feel the high temperature outside at all in this hot environment, which saved a lot of trouble.
Although he didn't have to worry about the heat, Ye Hong was a little worried about Feng Shuting and didn't know if he could withstand it. Scanning the surroundings, he found nothing unusual, and Feng Shuting did not leave any signal for herself.
I thought to myself, 'Since Senior Sister Feng didn't give me a signal, she should be okay for the time being, so let's move on! '
Since resisting high temperatures for a long time consumes internal energy, after getting familiar with each other, Li Feng and others will gather around Ye Hong to reduce the consumption of internal energy.
"Brother Ye, thanks to meeting you this time, otherwise it would be difficult for us to enter the middle of the sycamore forest."
"Since we are going to hunt for treasure together, of course we have to help each other. This is nothing."
"Brother Ye is righteous! It's us who are so narrow-minded."
After a long journey, a few people finally came to the middle of the sycamore forest and saw the tallest sycamore tree.
"This tree is so big! It's too tall!"
The sycamore tree in front of everyone was so big that it was surrounded by three or four people. Compared with the surrounding sycamore trees, it was several times larger. The intensity of the fire element was not comparable to that of the surrounding ones.
Li Feng and others tried to feel the surrounding temperature. It was as if they were in flames and lava, extremely hot.
Looking up, the tree crowns tower into the clouds. The clouds above are no longer white, but as gorgeous as red clouds.
Seeing that Li Feng and the other three were preparing to fly upward with their spiritual weapons, Ye Hong asked, "Brother Li Feng! Are we going up?"
"You must also know that this sycamore tree is the main sycamore tree, with a fire phoenix perched on it. Some time ago we saw that this fire phoenix had left its nest and flew to the mountains.
While the Fire Phoenix is away, let's go up to its nest to have a look. There might be some treasures there, and the main sycamore tree is also a rare treasure. We can't cut down the main trunk, but we can still collect some of the branches above.
Brother Ye, stop dawdling! Come and follow us up! If we don't come up, all the treasures will belong to us! "
Seeing the urging from Li Feng and the others, Ye Hong was not impatient and just took out the flying sword and stood on it.
"Brother Li Feng! The temperature around here is so high, do you want my help?" Ye Hong shouted upward.
"Brother Ye, no need! We have a solution, come up quickly!"
After Ye Hong noticed Feng Shuting hugging him, he took off with his flying sword and chased after her.
As for why the spiritual weapon was not directly flown from the edge of the sycamore forest to the main sycamore tree in the center at the beginning, one reason was that the temperature in the air in the sycamore forest was much higher than on the ground.
Walking through the woods to reach the main sycamore tree will cost less. If you fly there, you will not only have to resist the heat and consume internal energy, but also control the spiritual weapon.
Another reason is that if there are other dangers on the main sycamore tree, you can detect someone approaching at a glance, and it is too dangerous to fly through the air.
Although Ye Hong had the Ice Soul Pearl to protect him from the hot and high temperatures, he was worried that there were other monsters in the sycamore forest and would have no place to hide if he was attacked, so he did not take the risk and flew directly to the central sycamore tree.
Ye Hong's sword circled and soared around the thick main sycamore tree, chasing Li Feng and the others behind him. Seeing that the three of them seemed relatively relaxed, Ye Hong knew that these three people were indeed prepared and had items on their bodies that could withstand the scorching heat.
Ye Hong walked up with his sword while observing the surrounding situation. Although Li Feng and others said that the fire phoenix had left its nest, they were not sure what else would be inhabiting the tree.
Ye Hong looked at the tree carefully. He only needed a small piece of wood to make the Yaoqin. There was no need to cut down the whole tree. Moreover, he just heard from Li Feng that the trunk of the tree could not be cut down. I don’t know if I can still successfully cut off a small piece.
When Yu Jian flew to the middle of the sycamore tree, Ye Hong stopped, took out the frost sword and cut it into the sycamore tree in front of him. I saw the frost sword cutting into the trunk of the sycamore tree easily.
"This sword is really useful! It's not in vain."
Ye Hong was afraid that there would not be enough wood, so he cut a large piece from the sycamore tree, which was one foot long and wide, and dug out a big hole in the sycamore tree.
"Such a big piece should be enough. It's not easy for this tree to grow so big, so I won't chop it down!"
Ye Hong just said that he really didn't dare to cut down the whole tree. Not only was he afraid that if the tree was cut down, Fire Phoenix would cause trouble for him, but he was also afraid that the storage bag would not fit in it. After all, the tree is too big and the storage bag doesn't have so much space.
Although Ye Hong tried his best to avoid the three people above him cutting the sycamore tree and collecting the wood, it was still seen by the sharp-eyed Li Feng.
Li Feng became even more jealous when he saw that Ye Hong had such a spiritual weapon, and planned to snatch all the treasures from Ye Hong before leaving the Wutong Forest.
