Black shirt and black trousers, a full set of attire, even his face was covered with a black scarf, revealing only his two eyes. Such attire was exactly the same as the Evil Sect assassin who sneak attacked Lu Chen and White Lotus not long ago, his background was obvious.
White Lotus sucked in a breath of cold air, took a step back, at the same time she said in a low voice, "I say, what enmity do you have with the Evil Sect, could it be that you killed their parents and close friends? I can't believe he's so against you. "
Lu Chen's expression was indifferent, seemed to have no response to this question, only coldly looked at those black-attired men.
Different from the black-attired men who rushed out to sneak attack before, this batch of black-attired men were mostly very quiet, did not make any sound of abuse but the murderous aura around them was far stronger than before, and looking at the distance and position distribution between those people, they seemed to be in harmony with each other, disorderly and well-proportioned, actually sealed off all possible escape routes, firmly sealing Lu Chen and the rest here.
Rustling sounds, footsteps were heard from time to time, the oppressive feeling that those black-attired men exuded had a kind of earth-shattering momentum, pressing over bit by bit.
The corner of Lu Chen's eyes twitched slightly, suddenly clenched his teeth, quietly said, "Go back."
White Lotus glanced at him, did not say anything and the two of them once again slowly retreated back into that stretch of snake vine forest.
Atsu also followed them back but looked a little more fidgety and uneasy, from time to time looked back, grimacing, revealing a ferocious look.
Once again returning to that oppressive and gloomy forest, Lu Chen and White Lotus's expressions were very ugly, White Lotus even looked worriedly at that path, if those obviously powerful black-attired men rushed in, she and Lu Chen plus the three Atsu men, most likely it would be difficult to resist.
However, to her surprise, the black-clothed men stopped outside the Snake Forest and did not continue to chase after her.
White Lotus was surprised. She was about to say something to Lu Chen, but Lu Chen pulled her back to the side of the silver mother tree. At the same time, she heard Lu Chen say, "It's safer here, and it's easier to talk. The tree sap will disperse with the wind, and after a while, its aura will weaken. At that time, the snake vines around us might attack us."
"I see." Bai Lian nodded. However, she quickly furrowed her brows and began to size Lu Chen up with a strange look in her eyes.
Lu Chen noticed her movements and asked, "What's wrong?"
White Lotus thought about it and said, "I think you're a little strange."
Lu Chen said, "What do you mean?"
White Lotus stared at him and said, "Do you have any secrets in this Snake Forest that you haven't told me?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? There's no such thing."
White Lotus's eyes were still bright as she stared at Lu Chen and said, "No, I think there's something wrong with you. According to what you said before, this Snake Forest is extremely dangerous, but it doesn't make sense that you're the only one in this world who knows the secret of this forest, right? "
Lu Chen said, "Of course not. Although the Snake Forest is rare, as long as one walks in the Chaotic Lands often, there will be people who know about it. "
White Lotus said, "If that's the case, why are we able to walk freely in this Snake Forest, but why are the people outside, including my powerful Second Senior Brother, so afraid of this forest?"
Without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, White Lotus continued, "Also, among the people who are chasing after us, there are obviously cultivators with high cultivation. Why are we able to walk straight in and reach the Snake Vine Mother Tree so easily, but the others can't? Could it be that the Snake Vine Mother Tree sees us in a different light and thinks we're good people? "
Lu Chen originally wanted to say something, but after hearing White Lotus's words, he suddenly closed his mouth and looked at this unusually beautiful girl in silence. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"I didn't notice these things before, but now that I think about it, I feel that something is wrong." White Lotus looked at Lu Chen with bright eyes and said, "I think you probably have some secret, a secret … that can make these fierce and powerful Snake Forest see us in a different light, right? What is it? "
Lu Chen was silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed and said, "You're so smart and quick-witted, do your parents know about it?"
…
"They died a long time ago, they don't know anything!" White Lotus, as usual, had no respect for her parents. Her eyes only stared at Lu Chen and said, "You admit it? Just what kind of method can actually affect this Snake Forest? Tell me quickly. "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Will you tell me why you learned those fierce methods and the secret blood feeding method before you went to Kunlun Mountain?"
White Lotus's expression didn't change, and she said calmly, "I had a fortuitous encounter when I was young, and met a strange person who passed on his mantle, so I learned some skills."
Lu Chen looked at her and smiled, and said, "What a coincidence, I also met a master when I was young, and he taught me all kinds of killing and arson skills, so I have today." After saying that, he even added a sentence, and said with a smile, "That master was also a big fat man, with a body full of fat like a pig."
White Lotus coldly snorted, and looked at Lu Chen with a somewhat unfriendly gaze. Obviously, she didn't believe even half a word that Lu Chen said. She sneered and said, "According to what you said, where is your heart of respect for your master? You actually dare to call your own master a pig, in the whole world!"
Lu Chen laughed, but then after thinking about it, he actually nodded and said to White Lotus, "What you said is also right, in the whole world, probably only I dare to call him a pig."
"Pei!"
White Lotus spat, and said hatefully, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, who cares."
…
"What do we do now?" White Lotus asked Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was silent, many thoughts turned in his mind, and he was thinking carefully.
Previously in the various situations in this Snake Forest, in fact, what White Lotus said was indeed true. This little girl was indeed somewhat abnormal, at such a young age, not only was her talent amazing, even her intelligence and sharpness were difficult for ordinary people to match.
In Lu Chen's body, there was indeed a secret that could affect the surrounding forest, causing the originally fierce and terrifying Snake Vines to often be a beat slower when they attacked, which allowed him and White Lotus to smoothly run to the Mother Tree. But of course, this method was not taught to him by True Lord Tian Lan in the past, nor was it a supernatural power that he learned in the Evil Sect, but was that seed.
That mysterious seed embedded in his body, originated from the legendary Tree of God, which was passed down from ancient times in the Evil Sect, this Tree of God was the ancestor of all trees in the world, and the only bridge that connected the three worlds.
However, in the more than ten years that Lu Chen had obtained this seed, he had never felt any similar power from this seed. The greatest function of the Tree of God to him was to suppress the curse of the Black Fire, which allowed him to live until today.
But the strange thing happened on the night of the full moon, when that earth-shattering pillar of light pierced through the heaven and earth, Lu Chen faintly felt that the seed in his body seemed to have some changes, and the ability to slightly influence and control some of the flowers and plants in the world, was gradually discovered by Lu Chen on the road of escape after that.
This was of course a great secret, and Lu Chen had no intention of telling White Lotus. In short, both of them had their own ulterior motives, and refused to reveal their own secrets, so they just laughed it off. But the predicament before them was still right in front of them, and Lu Chen also felt that it was a little tricky.
The special ability of the Tree of God seed was only in a slightly awakened state, at most it could only slightly delay the attack speed of the surrounding Snake Vines, but when it came to wanting to control this Snake Vine forest, it was still too far away.
But if they were to be trapped here, it was obviously not a long-term solution. Lu Chen frowned tightly, and just as his mind was turning rapidly, White Lotus asked again, "How about, we apply some more tree sap, and then escape from another direction? Anyway this forest is so big, I don't believe that they can seal off all the exits. "
Lu Chen's expression looked a little solemn, he turned his head to look at the silver-white Snake Vine mother tree, and said, "This mother tree doesn't look very thick, it should have grown not long ago. We also can't take too much tree sap, or else we will hurt the roots of this mother tree, and will cause the surrounding Snake Vines to go crazy. "
White Lotus was shocked, and also looked at the Snake Vine mother tree, and said, "How many more times can we take tree sap?"
Lu Chen calculated in his heart, and said, "We need to apply it to two people at a time, and Atsu's body is much bigger than ordinary people, so it needs a lot of tree sap. I think we can only take tree sap one more time at most."
"Ah, only one chance?" White Lotus was a little surprised, and suddenly a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
They could only take tree sap one more time, in other words, if they wanted to escape from this Snake Vine forest, it was almost the last chance they had left.
This last time, they could only succeed, and not fail. If they failed, whether they were blocked by others, or the forest went crazy, perhaps only death would await them.
Both of them fell silent and stood beside the Snake Vine Mother Tree in deep thought. Only Ah-Tu seemed to be more relaxed. He paced back and forth, and after a while, he suddenly strolled to the side of the Snake Vine Mother Tree. He looked at this beautiful silvery-white Mother Tree from head to toe. He lifted his hind leg and peed on the roots of the tree.
Lu Chen saw this scene, although he was anxious, but he couldn't help but find it funny, and thought, this dog Atsu was still a little different from the rest... but just as this thought flashed across his mind, his body suddenly shook, and he thought of the word 'different'.
Different... it really seemed to be a little different.
His eyes suddenly changed, became a little deep, and at that moment, it seemed like his soul was also impacted by some kind of thought, even his breathing became heavier.
White Lotus felt it, and looked at Lu Chen, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you think of something? "
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Just now those black attired people outside, you said they were Evil Cult killers?"
