After everyone arrived at the white birch tree, Zhao didn't immediately lead them into Ghost Mountain. Instead, he turned to the crowd and said, "Now that we're about to enter Ghost Mountain, I have something I want to make clear to everyone. You can enter Ghost Mountain, but if you want to follow me, you must listen to my commands. If you don't want to listen to my commands, then I'm sorry, but if you want to leave now, I won't care. But if you follow us, then you must listen to me. Do you have any objections?" Zhao nodded, then turned to the crowd and said, "If you don't want to listen to my commands, then I'm sorry, but if you want to leave now, I won't care.
If you don't listen to me, then I'll follow your commands. "Upon hearing Zhao Hai, everyone stared. Naturally, the Hu Clan didn't have any objections. Yu Feier, who had her head lowered, looked at Zhao Hai and didn't say anything. The two Plant Masters also looked at Zhao Hai. Then they cupped their fists and said," We'll certainly listen to Mister's commands. "Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned his gaze to the three people who didn't speak.
These three people were a small group. Their relationship with the Hu Clan wasn't very good. Every time they met with Zhao Hai, they would have a cold expression, as if Zhao Hai owed them money. Now that they heard Zhao Hai, their faces showed traces of anger.
Zhao Hai looked at the three people and waited for their reply. The leader of the three looked at Zhao Hai and coldly snorted, "Why should I listen to you?"
Zhao Hai knew this person, he was called He Lin. He was 22 years old, his strength wasn't bad. In the Saber Spirit Country, he was called Spirit Snake He Lin. The reason why he was called Spirit Snake was because his weapon was a Spirit Snake Vine. Spirit Snake Vine wasn't a magic plant, but it was a special kind of vine.
The Spirit Snake Vine was very long and had snake-like patterns on its stem. Naturally, this wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that this was a carnivorous plant.
One must know that carnivorous plants weren't few, and the Spirit Snake Vine was one of them. This vine had a strong vitality and was very flexible. It could capture small animals like mice, rabbits, and so on. If a Spirit Snake Vine lived for a few decades, it could even prey on wild wolves. It was a very good plant weapon.
However, there weren't many Spirit Snake Vines in the Soul Realm. Many Plant Masters had never encountered a Spirit Snake Vine in their lifetime. He Lin's luck was good, he encountered a Spirit Snake Vine. Now, it had become his weapon.
It was precisely because his weapon was the Spirit Snake Vine that he had the nickname of Spirit Snake in the Saber Spirit Country. Before Zhao Hai appeared, He Lin was very famous in the Saber Spirit Country's Plant Master World. His fame even surpassed the younger generation of the Hu Clan. He had the title of the number one young Plant Master in the Saber Spirit Country.
Of course, this was only outside. The Hu Clan didn't find trouble with him. In fact, there were still many people in the Hu Clan who were stronger than him. It was just that the Hu Clan didn't show it.
However, ever since Zhao Hai appeared, He Lin's fame was suppressed by Zhao Hai. Moreover, Zhao Hai's name wasn't only known in the Saber Spirit Country. The entire Soul Realm knew about Zhao Hai's name. He Lin was much more powerful than He Lin, the Spirit Snake who was only known in the Saber Spirit Country's Plant Master World. Moreover, He Lin's Master wasn't convinced by the Hu Clan. Naturally, He Lin didn't have a good attitude towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at He Lin and sneered, "Because I have more people on my side than you. If you want to follow us, then you have to listen to me. If you don't want to follow us, then fine. We'll go our own ways."
When He Lin heard Zhao Hai's words, he looked at the sixteen people standing behind Zhao Hai. He gritted his teeth and snorted. Then he led the two people behind him and walked towards Ghost Mountain. Obviously, he wanted to follow the two people and not Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at him and coldly snorted. Then he turned to look at the people behind him and said, "Everyone, now that we are a team, we must act as one. Our Hu Clan's people have practiced joint attacks, so when we fight, we will cooperate. As for the other three, you don't need to participate in the battle. You just need to protect yourselves. Remember, during the battle, don't attack the Hu Clan's battle formation. That will only cause chaos. Is that understood?"
Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai nodded, then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go in." After he said that, he led everyone into the Ghost Mountain from the side of the birch tree.
As soon as they entered Ghost Mountain, they immediately felt different. It was dark all around, and there seemed to be a faint fog, making it difficult to see the road ahead. In such an environment, even if you were familiar with the terrain, it would be difficult to not get lost.
Zhao Hai stood there and adapted to the light. Then he turned his head to the group and said, "Alright, everyone stop here. Take out the military ration that the Sword Spirit Country's army gave you and throw it away. Don't carry it on your body."
When everyone heard Zhao Hai, they stared. Then they looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Those military ration biscuits have Thousand Mile Incense. Although this thing is harmless, it can expose our identity. Take it out and throw it away."
Everyone immediately understood the meaning behind Zhao Hai's words. Before participating in the Great Competition, everyone knew that the Wolf Spirit Country and the Tiger Spirit Country would deal with them. The Lion Spirit Country and the Sword Spirit Country might also intervene. Because of this, the Sword Spirit Country's army ration was something that the Sword Spirit Country's army would do.
It must be said that the Thousand Mile Incense was a very special plant. This plant has a fragrance that only animals can smell. This fragrance can spread very far. Some animals with sharp noses can smell it from hundreds of miles away. Because of this, the Thousand Mile Incense was named.
However, the Thousand Mile Incense had a special characteristic, that is, people can't smell it. Because of this, the Thousand Mile Incense has always been a good tool for tracking. They didn't expect that the Sword Spirit Country would actually add the Thousand Mile Incense to their army's rations. This was beyond everyone's expectations.
However, everyone still believed in Zhao Hai's words. They took out the flatbread and threw it on the ground. Zhao Hai had everyone use their natural energy to clean their clothes as well as the wooden boxes on their backs. After that, he led everyone into the forest.
Zhao Hai walked forward while communicating with the plants in the forest. What Zhao Hai didn't expect was that the plants here were very smart. They were very happy to chat with them. These plants also liked to chat with Zhao Hai. This was because while chatting with them, Zhao Hai was also able to exchange natural energy with them. Moreover, Zhao Hai also had the protection of the plants. Because of this, the plants felt that Zhao Hai was very familiar with them.
Zhao Hai led everyone forward like an old horse. He didn't seem to be very careful at all. This made everyone feel uneasy. However, Zhao Hai also said that they had to listen to him. They couldn't say anything and could only silently follow behind Zhao Hai.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Hai suddenly stopped. Then he turned to everyone and said, "Alright, let's take a rest. There's food here, let's eat."
Everyone stared, then they turned their heads and looked around. They found that it was just as Zhao Hai said. There were a lot of food here. There were several fruit trees next to them. Not far away, there were also some sealwort, yam, and other things. They all knew that these things were edible. Everyone couldn't help but cheer as they immediately started to eat.
The people who followed Zhao Hai weren't young masters and young ladies. They often lived in the wild. It wasn't a problem for them to get some food in the forest. This was especially true in a place like this. Before long, everyone had a lot of food. Everyone put their wooden boxes on the ground and then sat on them to eat.
A plant master from the Hu Clan ate while looking at Zhao Hai, "Brother Crane Grass, how did you know that there's food here? Looking at you, it seems like you've been to Ghost Mountain before. "
Zhao Hai looked at the 18 year old disciple of the Hu Clan. His name was Hu Jie. Among the younger generation of the Hu Clan, he was quite famous. His talent wasn't bad. Participating in this competition was also a trial for him. Zhao Hai liked him very much. This was because he was still a very simple child. However, he was able to endure hardships. Therefore, Zhao Hai liked him very much.
Zhao Hai looked at Hu Jie and smiled faintly. "Little Jie, you have to remember that when a plant master enters a forest, they need to maintain a certain degree of communication with the surrounding plant masters. This way, your communication ability will slowly strengthen. My ability to communicate with plants is stronger than yours, so I learned about this place from these plants. Let's rest here for a while, then we'll continue our journey. Tonight, we'll try to find a place with water and a fire to rest." Zhao Hai smiled faintly.
Everyone nodded in agreement. However, at the same time, they thought back to Zhao Hai's words. Maintaining a constant communication with the plants in the forest? In truth, when they first heard that, they did not believe it. However, looking at Zhao Hai's expression, it didn't seem like he was joking. That really made them a little confused.
When Plant Masters communicate with plants, they generally need to place their hands on the plants. Generally, only those who have reached the Consolidating Equipment Level don't need to place their hands on the plants. Plant Masters like them can't do this. But looking at Zhao Hai's expression, it didn't seem like he was joking. Could it be that they can also communicate with plants like this?
Hu Jie was very obedient to Zhao Hai's words, and as soon as Zhao Hai finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes and gave it a try. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Hai, saying: "Big Bro Crane Grass, it's not working. If I don't place my hands on the plants, I still can't communicate with them."
Zhao Hai looked at Hu Jie and couldn't help but smile, saying solemnly: "If it was any other place, if you don't place your hands on the plants, naturally you won't be able to communicate with them. However, in the forest, it is different. The plants here are extremely dense, and we can say that we are moving on the plants. Although we are all wearing shoes, the soles of our shoes are not thick. We can try to change the place where we communicate with the plants, from our hands to our feet. If you can do that, then in the future, you won't have to deliberately place your hands on the plants to communicate with them."
