Everyone realized that the more Hei Lang walked in, the more afraid he became. If it weren't for Wang Tongtian's repeated scoldings, he would have already turned tail and fled.
However, no one noticed anything unusual. Even Grandmaster Zong, who was the strongest among them, didn't sense anything amiss.
However, they didn't dare to let their guard down. Based on Hei Lang's reaction, there was definitely a powerful beast here.
At this moment, a large tree in front of Grandmaster Zong was suddenly uprooted. Then, a huge shadow appeared in front of him.
Grandmaster Zong hurriedly retreated. When he took a closer look, he realized that it was a giant python.
"Swish!"
Suddenly, the giant python's thick tail swept towards the person closest to it.
Caught off guard, that person was sent flying.
The giant python wasn't weak. Grandmaster Zong and the others hurriedly activated the ice talismans in their hands. In an instant, streams of ice energy swept towards the giant python.
No matter how big the giant python was, it couldn't withstand the powerful ice energy. In the blink of an eye, it was frozen into a block of ice.
Once the giant python was frozen, Hei Lang, who was shivering in fear, no longer felt afraid.
"It seems like Hei Lang is afraid of this giant python." Someone couldn't help but nod.
"This giant python probably has the ability to hide its aura. We are so close to it, but we still can't sense it." Someone sighed.
Grandmaster Zong looked at Wang Tongtian and said, "Wang Tongtian, can Hei Lang still sense the Flaming Winged Bird?"
Judging from the current situation, Grandmaster Zong felt that the giant python's appearance was an accident. It shouldn't be together with the Flaming Winged Bird.
Wang Tongtian shook his head and said, "Hei Lang can no longer sense the Flaming Winged Bird's aura. It seems like it has taken advantage of this opportunity to escape."
"Continue to search the surroundings!" Grandmaster Zong wasn't willing to give up just like that.
Wang Tongtian could only let Hei Lang continue to search the surroundings. However, after searching for half a day, they still couldn't find any traces of the Flaming Winged Bird. It was obvious that the Flaming Winged Bird had escaped.
"We can only wait for the next Flaming Winged Bird to appear." Grandmaster Zong said helplessly.
After saying that, he led everyone back to the imperial city.
Before they reached the imperial city, they saw four to five people rushing towards the southwest.
"What's wrong with you all? Did another Burning Wing Bird appear?" Grandmaster Zong immediately shouted.
The few of them turned their heads and discovered that Grandmaster Zong and the others were nearby. One of them hurriedly replied, "Grandmaster Zong, a Flaming Wing Bird just fled in this direction. We went over to help it.
Hearing this, Master Zong's eyes immediately lit up. "Let's chase after them!"
Then, he led Wang Tongtian and the others in the southwest direction.
After half a cup of tea's time, they heard the sounds of fighting coming from not far away. From the sounds, it seemed like someone was fighting with the Flaming Winged Bird.
"Let's go!" Master Zong was shocked. Then, he sped up and rushed forward.
Old He, Wang Tongtian, and the others followed closely behind him.
When they arrived, they saw that there were scorch marks on the surrounding weeds. There was a man lying on the ground with half of his body burnt. The man was moaning in pain.
Needless to say, this person had definitely been injured by the Flaming Wing Bird.
Grandmaster Zong didn't stop there because the sounds of fighting came from not far away. It was obvious that the remaining people were fighting with the Flaming Wing Bird.
Grandmaster Zong directly rushed in that direction and the others hurriedly followed behind him.
Very quickly, they arrived. This time, there were three or four injured people lying on the ground. It was obvious that they were injured by the Flaming Wing Bird's flames.
"Grandmaster Zong, you all … are here!" Seeing Grandmaster Zong and the others arrive, one of them couldn't help but be overjoyed.
This person's injuries were obviously light.
Looking at these people, Grandmaster Zong knew why they were injured. It was because their strength was relatively weak.
"Where did the Flaming Wing Bird escape to?" Old He asked directly.
"Over there … It ran in that direction!" That person hurriedly pointed to his left.
"Chase after it!"
After saying that, Grandmaster Zong immediately rushed in that direction.
After chasing for a while, Grandmaster Zong's expression turned ugly. They quickly lost track of the Flaming Wing Bird.
Grandmaster Zong and the others could only shift their gazes to Wang Tongtian.
Wang Tongtian looked at Hei Lang, who was beside him. Hei Lang carefully circled the area for a while before rushing to the right.
Grandmaster Zong and the others hurriedly followed behind it.
This time, they chased for a full quarter of an hour. Then, Hei Lang stopped in front of a dense forest. This time, Hei Lang once again showed a terrified expression.
Could it be that there was another giant python here? This thought flashed through Grandmaster Zong and the others' minds.
"Let's go in!" After saying that, Grandmaster Zong immediately walked inside.
Everyone naturally followed behind him.
After searching for a while, they didn't find anything.
They could only shift their gazes to Hei Lang.
What made them helpless was that Hei Lang was already so afraid that he couldn't move. His entire body was trembling, and no matter how Wang Tongtian scolded him, he couldn't move a single step forward.
"Wang Tongtian, isn't your Hei Lang too weak?" Grandmaster Zong frowned.
At such a crucial moment, Hei Lang actually dropped the ball. How could he not be depressed?
"Grandmaster Zong, this is due to the bloodline suppression. There's nothing we can do about it," Wang Tongtian said bitterly.
"Then, can it still sense the Flaming Winged Bird?" Grandmaster Zong asked.
Wang Tongtian shook his head and said, "In its current state, it can't sense it at all."
"How can this be? How can we miss such a good opportunity?" A sullen expression appeared on Grandmaster Zong's face.
Although he was angry, he could only give up in the end because no matter how angry he was, he couldn't change Hei Lang's state.
"Grandmaster Zong, let's give up this time. Next time, I guarantee that Hei Lang will definitely be able to chase it to the end," Wang Tongtian said.
"Alright, I hope that Hei Lang can do better next time," Grandmaster Zong said with a frown.
After saying that, he could only lead everyone away from this place.
"Grandmaster Zong, it seems like the Flaming Winged Bird deliberately led us to this place," someone said.
"It's like this twice in a row. The Flaming Winged Bird must have done it on purpose. The only difference is that we don't know what scared Hei Lang the second time," Elder He said.
"I only hope that this won't happen again. Even if it does, we can still find that thing and continue to chase it!" Grandmaster Zong said with a solemn expression.
After that day, no more Flaming Winged Birds appeared. At noon on the second day, two Flaming Winged Birds appeared consecutively in different places.
After hearing the news, Grandmaster Zong hurriedly led Wang Tongtian and the rest to chase the Flaming Winged Bird that was closest to them. This Flaming Winged Bird was also in the south.
After chasing for a while, they realized that they had arrived at the place from yesterday.
Then, the Flaming Winged Bird led them to the second dense forest from yesterday.
In front of this dense forest, Grandmaster Zong and the rest subconsciously stopped.
"From the looks of it, there's still something inside that Hei Lang is afraid of," Elder He couldn't help but say.
"Seems like it," Grandmaster Zong said with a frown.
As he said that, he looked at Hei Lang beside Wang Tongtian. His expression immediately turned ugly because Hei Lang's body had already started to tremble and it subconsciously hid behind Wang Tongtian.
"That thing is still there!" Grandmaster Zong's frown deepened. Then, he said fiercely, "Today, I, Zong Wuming, will definitely find you!"
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed into the dense forest.
The rest followed closely behind him.
Just like that, a group of people searched the dense forest. What made their expressions turn ugly was that no matter how they searched, they couldn't find anything. Moreover, because Hei Lang couldn't sense anything, they lost track of the Flaming Winged Bird.
"Could it be that this is the place where the Flaming Winged Birds came out?" Someone suddenly raised this question.
"That's extremely possible!" Hearing this, Elder He couldn't help but say.
Although this was a possibility, they were helpless because no matter how they searched, they couldn't find anything amiss.
"Could it be that there's a hidden spatial crack here? Moreover, it's hidden very deeply, making it very difficult for us to find it!" After searching for a while, Elder He raised this question.
"Yes." Grandmaster Zong nodded his head. He felt that this possibility was very high.
"If there really is such a spatial crack, I'm afraid that with our abilities, we won't be able to find it. We can only let those who are proficient in this path come," Grandmaster Zong said.
After confirming that they couldn't find it, Grandmaster Zong led everyone away.
Once they returned to the imperial city, he immediately went to find the emperor and told him everything that had happened.
"We can only find those who are proficient in this path." The emperor nodded his head and immediately sent people to find such people.
There were people who specialized in this field in the Ice Peak Country, and there were people who specialized in this field.
Soon, two middle-aged men who were proficient in this field came to the emperor and Grandmaster Zong.
The two of them weren't weak and they were able to activate the fourth grade ice talisman. This made Grandmaster Zong quite satisfied.
Soon after, Grandmaster Zong brought the two of them, as well as Wang Tongtian and the rest, back to the dense forest.
Not long after, they arrived at the dense forest.
Naturally, Wang Tongtian also brought Hei Lang along. However, what made them puzzled was that Hei Lang wasn't afraid this time. It was obvious that the thing that scared Hei Lang wasn't in the dense forest.
"Could it be that that thing isn't always guarding here?" Elder He asked doubtfully.
"Let's not care about it for now. Let them check whether there's a spatial crack here or not," Grandmaster Zong said.
After saying that, he led everyone into the dense forest.
As soon as they entered the forest, the two of them began to investigate.
Grandmaster Zong and the rest closely guarded the two of them. The two of them hadn't been able to activate the fifth grade ice talisman. They were afraid that an accident would happen and cause them to die here.
After all, it wasn't easy to find people who were proficient in this path.
