The sky was always gloomy; they were not used to it. After running around for an entire day, the injured group fell asleep early in the morning.
Xiao Chen and the others did not dare to sleep. They found some wood and started a bonfire, chatting from time to time.
The flickering light of the fire shone on the faces of the three. Zhang Lie looked at the red full moon in the distance and suddenly said, "Don't you guys feel that the moon is a little brighter than when we arrived?"
When Xiao Chen and Mu Heng heard this, they looked up. Indeed, the moon that was initially scarlet was now scarlet. The scarlet light looked very frightening.
Mu Heng withdrew his gaze and curled his lips. He said indifferently, "Whether the moon is red or not, what does it have to do with you? How boring."
Zhang Lie smiled and said, "I was just saying it casually. Isn't this boring? Give me a Demon to practice with. It would be better than sitting here doing nothing. "
However, Xiao Chen's gaze was fixed on the scarlet moon in the sky. This was the first time he looked at the scarlet moon so clearly. He finally felt something strange about it.
That scarlet moon seemed to have a life of its own. However, it was too far away. This feeling was too vague. Xiao Chen did not dare to be sure. "Sha!
Sha! "
Suddenly, a soft sound entered Xiao Chen's ears. Xiao Chen quickly withdrew his gaze, "There's a situation. The two of you, don't leave first. I'll go take a look."
By the time Mu Heng and Zhang Lie heard Xiao Chen's words, he had already disappeared without a trace. Zhang Lie sighed, "It is getting harder to see through him. His speed is probably not much slower than your Big Dipper Transposition!"
Mu Heng shook his head, "The difference is that this is a Movement Technique. Strictly speaking, the Seven Star Transposition cannot be considered a Movement Technique. It should be a Martial Technique. Hence, I cannot compare to him."
In a few breaths of time, Xiao Chen arrived at the place where the sound came from. He saw a familiar white figure; it was Yun Kexin.
Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, the Blood Crow King was no threat to her. He gently leaped in front of Yun Kexin. Just as he was about to speak, Yun Kexin's body fell towards him.
Slightly startled, Xiao Chen quickly supported Yun Kexin. He discovered a ghastly wound on her back. It was a long line of blood, dying her white clothes red.
Yun Kexin had already fainted. Xiao Chen had no choice but to carry her and rush back.
When Zhang Lie saw the unconscious Yun Kexin, he said in astonishment, "Yun Kexin is actually so severely injured. A peak Rank 4 Demonic Beast should not be able to deal with her like this!"
Everyone had seen Yun Kexin's strength for themselves. Furthermore, what they saw was just the tip of the iceberg. Even Xiao Chen did not dare say that he could defeat Yun Kexin.
If it was a Demonic Beast that Yun Kexin could not deal with, then Xiao Chen would not have any advantage.
Mu Heng muttered, "What should we do now? Aside from her, none of us know the details of the mission. Don't tell me we are trapped here?"
Xiao Chen was currently treating Yun Kexin's wounds. When he heard this question, he felt a headache coming on. He had promised Liu Tianyu that he would find an opportunity to kill the Blood Demon General. He could not accomplish that if he was trapped here.
Xiao Chen crushed the Blood Replenishing Pill and slowly rubbed it on Yun Kexin's wounds. Then, he took out another Blood Replenishing Pill and was about to place it in Yun Kexin's mouth.
Suddenly, Yun Kexin, who was in Xiao Chen's embrace, moved. She opened her eyes and said weakly, "Thank you!"
Seeing that she had woken up, Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. He smiled and said, "You should treat your injuries first. If there is anything else, we can talk about it later."
After four hours, Yun Kexin stopped circulating her energy. Her face regained some color. Without waiting for the others to ask, she said, "After I killed the Blood Crow King, I was sneak-attacked by a Demon."
A strange light flashed in Zhang Lie's eyes. He quickly asked, "What happened to that Demon?"
"I killed him." After Yun Kexin spoke, she took out the corpse of a Shadow Demon from her Universe Ring. "This is a Shadow Demon, a subordinate race of the Blood Demons of the first layer of the Demonic World."
Following that, Yun Kexin introduced the combat characteristics of the Shadow Demons to the others.
After answering some of Zhang Lie's questions about the Demons, Yun Kexin took the map from Xiao Chen's hands. She pointed to the foot of the mountain behind the forest and said, "We will do it tomorrow night. We have to pass through the forest and coordinate with the other teams at the foot of the mountain."
Zhang Lie felt it was strange and asked, "Senior Sister Yun, how did you get this map? Could it be that someone else entered this sub-space before us?"
Yun Kexin put away the map and said indifferently, "From the Reincarnation Well, we can see the situation in this sub-space. However, we can only see the outline of it. We are not sure what kind of Demonic Beasts there are in this forest."
The night passed silently. When the sky brightened the next day, it was only the same as the sky on the surface. In this sub-space, the sky was always scarlet. It made people's sense of time very blurry.
After resting for a night, everyone's injuries had mostly recovered with the help of the Blood Replenishing Pill.
Gao Xiang had just opened his eyes when he saw Yun Kexin looking at him expressionlessly. He was startled and muttered, "Senior Sister Yun, I …"
Yun Kexin interrupted him and said coldly, "If there is a next time, I will kill you personally."
At this moment, the others also got up. When they saw this scene, they did not feel any pity for Gao Xiang. If it were not for Gao Xiang's rashness yesterday, they would not be in such a sorry state.
Xiao Chen stopped cultivating and opened his eyes. He said to Yun Kexin, "I'll go scout ahead. You all wait here for a while."
Yun Kexin stopped him, "Don't go out alone. Let's move together. This forest is very strange. It is better for everyone to be together."
That seemed to make sense. If they met with any sudden incidents, Xiao Chen might not be able to deal with it alone. After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen did not argue further.
Under Yun Kexin's lead, everyone carefully made their way through the dark forest. After recovering their combat prowess, they moved very quickly. In an hour, they reached the end of the path that Xiao Chen opened yesterday.
Xiao Chen drew his Lunar Shadow Saber and sent out a few strands of saber Qi. Electric light flickered in the dark forest. The large patch of shrubs in front was immediately turned into dust by the saber Qi.
Everyone was astonished. They did not expect a few casual strands of saber Qi from Xiao Chen to have such might. It was no weaker than a regular peak Inferior Grade Martial Saint's.
Xiao Chen said, "I reached this place yesterday. As for the situation in front, I am not sure."
Yun Kexin nodded, "This should be the boundary between the core region of the forest and the periphery. We cannot be careless. Xiao Chen, continue to open the path."
"Rumble …!"
The shrubs and thorns blocking the way were all crushed by Xiao Chen's saber Qi. Just like that, Xiao Chen forcefully opened up a path for everyone.
After walking for another five kilometers, they still did not meet with any danger. Zhang Lie and the others could not help but relax. However, Yun Kexin's expression became increasingly grave.
"Be careful, don't be careless. Otherwise, you might lose your life at any moment," Yun Kexin reminded when she saw that everyone had relaxed their guard.
However, they did not meet with any danger along the way. They did not pay too much attention to Yun Kexin's words. They only raised their guard slightly.
"Pu Ci!"
After walking for a few more kilometers, just as everyone's guard was at its lowest, countless scarlet tree branches tore through the air like sharp swords, flying at them at an extremely fast speed.
Yun Kexin, who had been maintaining her guard, immediately drew her saber. The tree branches flying at her were chopped in half with a 'ka ca' sound and fell to the ground.
The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. Two of them were pierced through the heart by the glowing red tree branches and died on the spot.
The instant the tree branches appeared, Xiao Chen extended out his Spiritual Sense. He saw a black figure flash behind a tree five hundred meters away.
Withdrawing his Spiritual Sense, Xiao Chen focused his gaze on the crowd. He executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art and drew an arc in the air. A purple saber Qi blocked most of the surrounding tree branches with a 'shua' sound.
Yun Kexin was not slow either. Her saber trembled in the air and the tree branches flying at her seemed to be pulled down by a formless force. They fell to the ground with a 'hua la la' sound.
Xiao Chen was no stranger to these strange tree branches. He moved closer to Yun Kexin and said, "There are Tree Spirits in this forest. Furthermore, there are quite a few of them."
"I know." Yun Kexin said calmly, "We have to find the location of the Tree Spirits. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with them."
The Tree Spirits were plant-type Demonic Beasts that were hard to deal with. They hid in the forest. If they did not attack, there was no way to distinguish them from ordinary trees.
Gao Xiang revealed an anxious expression, "Damn it! There is no way to find the Tree Spirits. We are going to be trapped here until we die."
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen suddenly made his move. A dazzling saber light condensed on the snow-white saber. With a loud boom, he chopped a tree at the side in half.
"Ye Chen, what are you doing?" Zhang Lie asked suspiciously.
Xiao Chen did not stop moving. In an instant, he chopped four or five trees on both sides in half.
As Xiao Chen chopped down more and more trees, the originally confused crowd finally understood why Xiao Chen was doing this.
Since they could not find the Tree Spirits, then they would chop down all the surrounding trees. Eventually, they would meet a hidden Tree Spirit.
After a while, all the trees around them were chopped down. However, they still did not meet any Tree Spirits. However, their field of vision had broadened significantly.
When Gao Xiang saw the situation, he could not help but want to go over and help. However, he was not in a rush this time. He first asked for Yun Kexin's opinion.
Yun Kexin thought for a while and nodded in agreement to Gao Xiang's method. Gao Xiang was not weak. Furthermore, his Martial Techniques were more suitable for fighting with the Tree Spirits.
After he discovered the Tree Spirits, he would be able to use Qianduan Peak's ferocious Martial Techniques to kill the Tree Spirits in one move.
"Hu!"
Gao Xiang pulled out the huge saber from his back and revealed an excited expression. He stomped on the ground and shouted loudly. Then, he landed beside a tree.
The huge saber carried a huge force as it hacked at the tree trunk. "Bang!" There was a loud sound. Strangely, the tree was not chopped down by Gao Xiang.
