Slap! A blade of grass slapped Little Crane Grass's face, and he immediately woke up. The first thing he did when he woke up was to immediately communicate with Little Crane Grass to see what was going on.
With this communication, he immediately knew that the pursuers were here. This time, there were a lot of pursuers, nearly a hundred of them. Of course, the most important thing was that these people were all experts, and none of them were ordinary people.
As soon as he sensed this situation, Little Crane Grass's expression changed. He jumped up and said loudly, "Uncle Liu, enemy attack!" At the same time, he directly carried his box.
Liu Yuangong and the others were sleeping, but now they were all awake. After waking up, Liu Yuangong immediately jumped up. He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Little Crane Grass, what do we do now?"
Little Crane Grass said in a deep voice, "Run. This time, nearly a hundred people came, and they're all experts. We're no match for them. Let's split up immediately. We can't take the things anymore."
When Liu Yuangong heard Little Crane Grass's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then his expression changed and he said, "We don't want the things anymore? How can that be? "
Little Crane Grass said in a deep voice, "There's no time. If we want these things, none of us can escape. Let's leave the things to them, and then we'll follow them. We'll take back as much as we can. What do you think?"
Liu Yuangong's expression changed several times. Little Crane Grass looked at him and said in a deep voice, "They're only one li away from us. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late."
When Liu Yuangong heard Little Crane Grass's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let's split up. We can't split up. According to Little Crane Grass, let's split up. They're not cultivators, so they shouldn't make things difficult for you. Little Crane Grass, let's go and make some noise."
Little Crane Grass didn't say anything and directly ran to the horses. He said in a deep voice, "We can't leave the horses behind. Let's go." After saying that, he got on a horse and rushed out of the forest. Liu Yuangong and the others also quickly got on their horses and ran out. The other horses also ran with them.
The servants didn't care too much, they knew that Liu Yuangong had taken the horses away for their own good. If they were to ride horses, then their movements would be too loud. If Liu Yuangong and the others rode away, then the other party's attention would be on Liu Yuangong and the others. Naturally, they wouldn't pay attention to the servants. The servants turned around and went straight into the forest. They didn't care about food or drinks, they just wanted to save their lives first.
Just as Little Crane Grass and the others left the camp, a group of black-clothed people arrived. Just as Little Crane Grass said, these black-clothed people were all experts. Among them, there were ten Soul Soldiers, thirty Soul Beasts, forty Soul Craftsmen, and twenty Soul Grafters.
These people were all dressed in black, even their faces were covered. However, the soul objects on their heads couldn't be covered. Moreover, the aura of these people was very steady. At a glance, one could see that they were all experts.
At this time, a spear-wielding Soul Beasts said in a deep voice, "They ran away, and the horses were taken away. It seems like they have already discovered us. Interesting, it seems like the opposite party's Plant Master isn't simple. Did you find out the identity of the Plant Master?"
A bow-wielding Soul Beasts behind him said, "I found out. That person is called Crane Grass. He was born in Emerald City. Later on, an old servant of the Liu Clan took him as his adopted grandson. Later on, we don't know where he went. He might be a Plant Master from Gathering Cloud City's Liu Clan."
The leader of the spear-wielding soulbeasts shook his head, "That's impossible. The Liu family of Juyun City can't possibly teach such a disciple. Their soul cultivators aren't that great, so this kid must have another master. Ha-ha, interesting. Leaving these things behind and running away on his own, he can be considered a decisive person. This leader of the group is quite interesting. Right, you said that Cranefly Grass is from the Liu family of Juyun City? Could it be that Gathering Cloud City's Liu Clan is also involved in this matter? "
The bow-wielding Soul Beasts shook his head and said, "Impossible. I've inquired before. That kid should be out for a trial. He was acting alone before. He also received a mission from the Shi Family Village."
The spear-wielding Soul Beasts nodded and said, "That's good. If the Liu Clan is really involved in this matter, then it would be troublesome. The Liu Clan can be regarded as a local tyrant. They won't be easy to deal with. Leave ten people here to guard these things. Send people to transport these things away. We'll chase after them." Everyone nodded and immediately divided ten people to stay in the camp. Among these ten people, only one was a weapon-wielding Soul Beasts. Among the rest, there were two beast-wielding Soul Beasts, four Soul Craftsmen, and three Soul Plants.
When the spear-wielding Soul Beasts saw that the manpower had been arranged, he immediately said, "Chase, we can't let those guys escape. Otherwise, those guys will become maggots attached to our bones. We won't be able to live a good life in the future." The others nodded and followed the spear-wielding Soul Beasts as they chased after Little Crane Grass and the others. As for the servants who ran away, they didn't care at all. Although those people had some skills and were able to deal with ordinary people, in the eyes of cultivators, they were just like ants. They weren't worth their time.
Although Little Crane Grass had been riding his horse, he had been communicating with the plants. Therefore, when the spear-wielding Soul Beasts caught up, Little Crane Grass immediately knew. Little Crane Grass looked at Liu Yuangong and said, "Uncle Liu, they caught up. It seems like we have to think of another way."
When Liu Yuangong heard Little Crane Grass, his face sank. Then he said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Little Crane Grass looked at the dense forest on both sides of the road and said, "Let's go a bit further. We'll let the horses run on their own. Once we enter the forest, even if they catch up, I'll be able to deal with them for a while."
Liu Yuangong nodded and said, "Alright, let's do that." The reason why he agreed was because Little Crane Grass was a plant master. The forest had always been the home of plant masters. Although there might be plant masters in the other party's group, Liu Yuangong didn't think that Little Crane Grass would lose to them.
After everyone made a decision, they urged their horses to run faster. However, the spear-wielding Soul Beasts and the others weren't slow either. They were all cultivators, so naturally, they wouldn't be slow if they were to chase people.
Little Crane Grass and the others urged their horses to run for another five miles before jumping down from their horses. They didn't jump to the ground from their horses. Instead, they jumped directly into the dense forest. After a few leaps, they disappeared into the dense forest.
Before they jumped into the forest, they kicked the horses hard. The horses were in pain, so of course, they ran faster. If the people chasing them followed the tracks of the horses, they would lose them.
About ten minutes after Little Crane Grass and the others entered the forest, the spear-wielding Soul Beasts and the others had already caught up. When they reached the place where Little Crane Grass and the others entered the forest, they stopped. Then the spear-wielding Soul Beasts turned his head and said, "Is it here?"
The eagle-wielding Soul Beasts' soul was an eagle, and he knew how to tame eagles. Little Crane Grass and the others wanted to hide in the forest without leaving any footprints, but they forgot that there was an eagle watching them from the sky. Therefore, their actions were in vain.
Little Crane Grass and the others didn't stop and kept running into the forest. Little Crane Grass ran into the forest while communicating with the plants. He wanted to know how big this forest was so that he wouldn't be stunned if he ran out of it.
Fortunately, as far as he knew, the forest wasn't small. They wouldn't be able to run out in a short time. However, he also knew that the other party had caught up.
Little Crane Grass slowed down. Seeing this, Liu Yuangong and the others slowed down as well. They knew that this was Little Crane Grass' home ground, so it was better to listen to Little Crane Grass.
Little Crane Grass glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "They've caught up. It seems like they do have something in the sky monitoring us. However, once we're in this dense forest, their things in the sky are useless. We can only rely on those plant masters. Let's slow down a little. I want to clean up the traces we left behind."
Liu Yuangong nodded, then he turned to Little Crane Grass and said, "Do you need our help?"
Little Crane Grass shook his head and said, "No, not now. If we really fight later, we'll have to rely on you. Let's go. Just slow down and move forward." Liu Yuangong nodded and led Wu Fei and the others to run forward. However, they slowed down.
Little Crane Grass was at the back. Along the way, all the grass that they stepped on would stand up again. It was as if they weren't stepped on at all. Most importantly, Little Crane Grass didn't use any natural energy. Even if the other party was a plant master, they wouldn't be able to discover it.
Naturally, the plant masters could also communicate with the plants and know where Little Crane Grass and the others went. However, how could the plant masters' ability to communicate with plants compare to Little Crane Grass?
Little Crane Grass and the others walked for half an hour before Little Crane Grass said, "Stop, let's rest here for a while."
Liu Yuangong looked around. There didn't seem to be any place to meditate. Because they were deep in the forest, there were only a few tall pine trees. It was strange. In this forest, there weren't many pine trees. Even if there were, they wouldn't be tall. However, the pine trees here were very tall. Each one of them was at least as thick as three or four people hugging it.
Little Crane Grass pointed at the pine trees and said, "Let's rest on the trees. The trees are big and the leaves are dense. They won't be able to see us."
Liu Yuangong and the others nodded. However, they turned to Little Crane Grass and said, "How do we go up? If we go up like this, we'll leave a trace. "
Little Crane Grass smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, we don't even know if they can chase us here. However, it's better to be careful." After saying that, Little Crane Grass waved his hand. An iron gray vine flew out from his hand and wrapped around a thick pine branch. Then Little Crane Grass's body flew up. In the next moment, he flipped his body and landed on the pine branch. Then he turned his hand and the iron gray vine fell down from the tree. Little Crane Grass said, "One by one, grab the vine. Don't touch the leaves."
Liu Yuangong and the others didn't say anything. One by one, they grabbed the vine and were pulled up to the tree by Little Crane Grass. It must be said that pine trees weren't suitable for hiding people. This was because the leaves were made of pine needles. Moreover, because the leaves were leaf-shaped, there was a lot of space between them. As long as people looked up, they would be able to see the situation on the tree.
Naturally, this was only for ordinary pine trees. For such tall pine trees, this rule wasn't suitable. But for Little Crane Grass, the pine needles wouldn't prick him at all. He had the heart of a pine tree, so how could pine trees hurt him?
After running for a while, the group felt tired. When they reached the pine tree, they found a thick branch and sat there quietly. The branches were very thick, and from below, it was impossible to see who was on the tree.
At this time, Little Crane Grass was chatting with the pine tree, "Grandpa Pine, why are there only a few pine trees here? Where did all the other pine trees go? "
An old voice was heard, "When I was very young, there were pine trees everywhere. Then one day, the ground suddenly split open. Many pine trees fell in. After an unknown amount of time, the ground closed again. But now, there are only a few of us left. I didn't expect to meet someone with the heart of a pine tree here. Kid, you're really good."
When Little Crane Grass heard this, he couldn't help but stare. Then he immediately said, "Grandpas, you're the oldest trees here? You watched all the trees grow up? "
"Hehehe, you're right. We're the oldest trees here. We've watched all the trees grow up. Kid, are you in some kind of trouble? It looks like someone is chasing after you, isn't it? Among those people, there are a few who can communicate with the children here. But compared to you, their communication skills are far inferior. "
Little Crane Grass quickly said, "Grandpa Pine, tell the others not to tell them that I'm hiding here. Otherwise, I'll be in danger."
"Hahaha, Kid, I don't need to say anything. You think those kids can't feel the Plant Protection on your body? Those people can't feel it, but can't we, the plants, feel it? I really don't know what you did, kid. How did you get the Plant Protection? Kid, tell me, how did you get the Plant Protection? "
Little Crane Grass chuckled and said, "Grandpa Pine, I really didn't do anything. I just helped the plants transform their energy. I transformed the energy that's hard to absorb into something that's easy to absorb. Moreover, I didn't take any of my energy. How much energy you give me, I'll help you transform it. It's that simple. The plants were grateful, so they gave me the Plant Protection. Grandpa Pine, after those people leave, I'll also help you transform your energy."
When Song Shu heard Little Crane Grass, he stared for a moment before he said, "I also know about Plant Masters. We've had a lot of Plant Masters here before. However, it's very difficult for Plant Masters to communicate with us. It's impossible for them to communicate with us as smoothly as you. Moreover, they can also help us convert energy, but they can't convert too much at once. In the process of converting energy, they can also leave behind a portion of the energy as a fee. Why don't you do this?
Little Crane Grass smiled and said, "There's no reason. I'm special. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten the Pine Tree's Heart and the Plant Protection."
Pine Tree nodded and said, "So that's how it is." Then he turned silent as if he was making a decision.
