Hu Xin was now really anxious. This time, the Liu Family was clearly well prepared. Although there were a lot of Soul Beasts on the ship, there were also a lot of Soul Beasts. Now that the Soul Beasts were sent to kill the fish that escaped the net, one could see at a glance that the other party was prepared to be ruthless this time.
However, their current position wasn't hidden at all. If the other party came with a torch, it would be very easy for them to find them. Hu Xin knew that Soul Beasts' hearing, vision, smell, and so on were much better than other Soul Beasts. Ordinary people might not be able to notice them, but these Soul Beasts would certainly be able to see them.
But at this time, Zhao Hai couldn't use natural energy. He was too close to these Soul Beasts. If he uses natural energy, he would certainly be discovered. It would be impossible for him to deal with these Soul Beasts by himself.
Just as Hu Xin was anxious, Little Crane Grass suddenly pulled him. Hu Xin turned his head to look at Little Crane Grass. Little Crane Grass slowly laid down on the ground. Hu Xin didn't understand what Little Crane Grass wanted to do, but he knew that Little Crane Grass had a reason for doing so. From the time the ship was attacked until now, Little Crane Grass didn't seem like a child at all. On the contrary, he was very mature.
Hu Xin also slowly laid down. Just as he laid down, he felt the surrounding grass move without any wind. Slowly, grass began to grow around them. Then the leaves of the grass suddenly weaved into a net above them, covering both of them inside.
This net was very dense, but it didn't make people feel stuffy at all. Most importantly, there were still some grasses standing on top of the grass. Not to mention at night, even during the day, nobody would be able to find them.
Of course, what surprised Hu Xin the most was that he didn't feel any natural energy fluctuations, not even a little bit. This was too strange.
Plant Cultivators generally rely on natural energy to control plants. Hu Xin was very clear that these grasses weren't controlled by him, it wasn't made by Little Crane Grass. But how did he do it? He still hasn't learned how to cultivate natural energy, and he also didn't feel any natural energy.
However, now wasn't the time to ask. The two just lay there quietly, not daring to make a sound. They were listening to the other party's footsteps getting closer and closer, and then getting further and further away.
Hu Xin and Little Crane Grass sat up. Hu Xin's eyes lit up as he looked at Little Crane Grass. Little Crane Grass didn't say anything, instead, he whispered, "Big Brother Hu Xin, let's go. We can't go to Emerald City right now. It seems like the Liu Family is waiting for us on the road. We need to leave the Wu Ling River first." Little Crane Grass nodded and said, "Big Brother Hu Xin, let's go. We can't go to Emerald City right now.
Hu Xin nodded, then he carried Little Crane Grass and ran away, leaving Wu Ling River as far as possible. They didn't know that their choice allowed them to avoid a disaster. The Liu Family knew that Emerald City was the Liu Family's territory. Because of this, they had already set up a lot of checkpoints in the direction of Emerald City. As long as Little Crane Grass and Hu Xin head towards Emerald City, they would certainly be blocked. When the time comes, the two wouldn't even have the chance to escape.
Now that the two were deep inside the Saber Spirit Country, the Saber Spirit Country was very big, and the Hu Family's influence was also very big. The other party wouldn't dare to openly chase after them, so they were safe.
The two continued to move forward. Although they encountered several villages along the way, they still went around them and didn't enter the villages. They were afraid that the Liu Family would block them there.
Until dawn, the two still didn't enter the villages. Instead, they entered a forest. In the Soul Realm, because the population wasn't that big, the damage to the environment wasn't that big. Therefore, there were a lot of trees on the roadside. Since Hu Xin was a Plant Master, his fighting strength would increase exponentially in the forest. Because of this, the two chose to rest in the forest and didn't enter the village.
After rushing through the night, although he had the support of natural energy, Hu Xin still felt very tired. After passing through the forest, Hu Xin looked around and saw that there wasn't any danger. Then he put Little Crane Grass down and the two leaned against a big tree to rest.
After taking a few breaths, Hu Xin turned his head to Little Crane Grass and said, "Crane Grass, how did you do it? You didn't use any natural energy and you can make those grasses listen to you? Isn't this too miraculous? "
Little Crane Grass shook his head and said, "It's not that miraculous. It's just that my ability to communicate with plants is very strong. Right now, I can only communicate with the grasses and make them do things for me. But these trees can't."
Hu Xin nodded, he now somewhat understood why Little Crane Grass could become Hu Yuan's disciple. One must know that the official disciples of the Hu Family rarely see Hu Yuan once a year, but Little Crane Grass became a disciple of the Hu Family. There were a lot of people in the Hu Family who weren't convinced by Little Crane Grass.
Hu Xin looked at the sky and said, "It's already dawn. Let's take a good rest here. Yesterday, we shouldn't have left any traces. In such a big place, it would be very difficult to find us. Let's rest in the forest for two days. After that, we'll go out and find something to eat."
Little Crane Grass said, "Don't worry, I'm not hungry yet. Brother Xin, you've been on the road for an entire night. Take a good rest. I'll go look for something."
Hu Xin was also very tired. Now that he heard Little Crane Grass, he nodded and said, "Alright, don't go too far. Let's see if there are any wild fruits or the like. Let's eat them first and endure for two days." Little Crane Grass nodded, then he stood up and walked towards the depths of the forest.
Along the way, Little Crane Grass had been chatting with the grasses in the forest. Although it could now chat with the trees in the forest, it still had some difficulty communicating with the trees. Therefore, it chose the most effortless way, which was to chat with the grasses. The grasses were all over the forest.
Before long, Little Crane Grass found out from the grasses that there were a few wild fruit trees in the forest. Little Crane Grass went over and picked the wild fruits on the trees. Then he went back to where he came from.
Before long, he returned to Hu Xin's resting place. Hu Xin was resting with his eyes closed. When he heard the footsteps, he immediately opened his eyes with a vigilant expression. When he saw Little Crane Grass, Hu Xin let out a long breath. Then he saw the wild fruit in Little Crane Grass's hand. Hu Xin couldn't help but smile and said, "Good, Little Crane Grass. I didn't expect you to be so capable. Come, let me have a taste."
Little Crane Grass smiled faintly. Then he put the wild fruit on the ground and picked one up for Hu Xin. Then he also picked one up and ate it. To be honest, the wild fruit wasn't tasty at all. It was sour and astringent. However, Little Crane Grass ate it happily, as if it was a delicacy.
In fact, although Little Crane Grass has eaten a lot of good things in the past two years, Hu Yuan would still let Little Crane Grass eat fruits for a few days every once in a while. In order to improve his health, Little Crane Grass ate a lot of herbs. Those things weren't very tasty, so he didn't feel any discomfort when eating this sour fruit.
Hu Xin, on the other hand, was different from the Little Crane Grass. He had never eaten such a thing before. After just one bite, he felt his saliva flowing out. Seeing the Little Crane Grass eating so sweetly, he stared at the Little Crane Grass in a daze. He really wanted to know if the Little Crane Grass's fruit was much more delicious than his fruit.
When Little Crane Grass started to eat his second fruit, Hu Xin couldn't help but ask, "Crane Grass, isn't this fruit sour? Why do I feel that it tastes bad? "
Little Crane Grass looked at Hu Xin and smiled faintly, "Of course it's sour, it's also astringent. My mouth is about to turn numb. However, I have to eat it. The Liu Family won't let us off easily this time. Although the family knows that we're in trouble, they will immediately send people to support us. However, they don't know where we are, so it won't be easy for them to find us. If we're found by the Liu Family, then we can't avoid fighting. If we don't eat our fill, how can we fight? Moreover, I've eaten things that tasted worse than this back in the valley. What's there to be afraid of eating a few fruits? "
Upon hearing Little Crane Grass, Hu Xin couldn't help but blush. He was an elite disciple with a family, yet he couldn't even compare to Little Crane Grass. This made him feel very embarrassed. Hu Xin also picked up a fruit and endured the sourness as he ate a few. Then he leaned against a tree and closed his eyes to rest. Little Crane Grass sat beside him, and before long, the two of them fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Little Crane Grass suddenly woke up. He had a very bad feeling, as if there was some kind of danger slowly approaching.
Little Crane Grass immediately pushed Hu Xin who was sleeping beside him. Hu Xin also woke up, he looked at Little Crane Grass in confusion. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Little Crane Grass covered his mouth and then whispered into his ear, "Brother Xin, I have a very bad feeling. It's possible that the Liu Family is chasing after us. We need to hide in the forest."
Hu Xin now completely believed in Little Crane Grass's feelings, so he immediately nodded. Little Crane Grass then took his hand away. Then the two of them carefully walked into the forest. While walking, Little Crane Grass communicated with the surrounding grass and trees, asking them to help him erase all traces of them.
Not long after the two of them left, they heard footsteps followed by the barking of dogs. Then a voice said, "Third Uncle, the smell stopped here. It seems like they've been here for a while, but we don't know where they went."
Another voice was heard, "Let's look around first and see if we can find other traces. As long as we can find other traces, then we'll be able to find them." Several voices simultaneously responded, then the sound of footsteps dispersed.
Little Crane Grass and Hu Xin looked at each other. The two of them knew how the other party found them. The other party used a dog to track them. When they escaped last night, they didn't deliberately hide their tracks. The Hu Clan's people were very likely to have followed the scent they left behind to chase them.
Hu Xin looked at Little Crane Grass and whispered, "Crane Grass, how about this, I'll lead them away. You run into the forest and find a place to hide."
