Blood continued to fall from the sky, forming puddles of blood on the ground. The aura of death and panic spread rapidly. All the surviving Heavenly Masters looked at the waving branches in horror. Their hearts were filled with fear!
These branches were like countless spiraling sickles. Anyone who went up would die!
Everyone stood rooted to the ground, their bodies trembling. They did not expect the island to attack them. If they knew, they would not have come in!
What should they do now?
How could they get out now?!
Everyone panicked. The originally scattered crowd gathered together instinctively. Fortunately, the leaders of the four camps were still alive. At this moment, there was still a commander.
"Don't panic!" The leader of the western camp said loudly, but everyone could hear the trembling in his voice. "Everyone, pay attention to these branches. All the branches will only attack at the same height or higher. They will not attack lower. This means that as long as we do not rush out, we will be safe! Moreover, I estimate that these branches will not last long before they stop. When that time comes, we will go out together! "
The leader was right. All the branches would not attack lower than themselves. It was possible that these branches would stop. After all, the power of life in the world was not unlimited. However, the problem was how long they could last.
"Then … are we just going to wait here?" Someone asked fearfully.
Everyone looked at the leader. The leader was also very hesitant. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "No! We can't just sit here and wait for death! Even if we can't fly out directly, there must be another way out. Moreover, this island has an end. As long as we fly to the edge of the island, there will be no obstruction! "
Everyone trembled. That's right, the branches were all higher. The edge of the forest was an opening. They could walk out directly. After all, the distance of this island was very close to these Heavenly Masters.
"Okay!"
"We'll listen to you!"
Everyone expressed their opinions. The leader did not hesitate and immediately led everyone to fly towards the west. After all, the edge of the west was the closest place for these people.
However —
Just as these people were about to rush forward, the entire island suddenly shook again!
The island shook violently, causing these people to tremble in fear. They sped up and rushed towards the edge of the island! However, before they could rush out more than ten feet, the island suddenly moved!
No!
To be precise, it was the trees that moved!
All the towering trees began to move, rapidly changing their positions in a special way. The soil on the ground also began to explode, and all the soil and rocks were lifted up into the air, turning into soft soil that did not hinder the movement of these towering trees at all!
These trees moved very quickly. Although they were not as fast as the flying speed of a Level 7 Heavenly Master, they were at least comparable to the maximum flying speed of a Level 6 Heavenly Master! What was worse was that there were simply too many towering trees. There was no pattern to the chaotic movement of the trees, causing everyone to panic. They were forced to stop by the movement of the trees. For the sake of being cautious, they kept turning around. Their hearts were filled with panic!
How could this be?!
With the experience of killing people with tree branches and leaves high up in the sky, these people did not dare to approach the towering trees at all, in case they were killed by some unpredictable attack! Standing in place was indeed a relatively safe method, but everyone soon discovered a problem!
High up in the sky, the net formed by the moving trees did not disappear. Instead, it kept separating and entangling in an extremely complicated manner. There was not a single gap in the net! The tree branches in the sky were still waving, but they did not cause any harm to each other.
What was worse was that the trees around them kept moving, and these people found that they had completely lost their sense of direction!
That's right, these people could not find the west at all!
Under the situation of constantly turning around to look at their surroundings, and the fact that they could not see the sun through the forest, there was no way for them to determine their direction! Even if they wanted to rush out now, they did not know where the west was!
The same situation was happening everywhere on the island. It was the same in all directions! Everyone was facing the same situation. They were trapped in the same place, unable to move, and could only sink into endless panic!
Except for the center.
In the center, the pair of eyes under the mask was terrifyingly calm. Lu An looked at the trees that kept moving around him. He did not move at all, nor did he move at all. Up until now, he was still able to tell where he was. Not only that, he was also constantly recording the movement of the trees around him.
Even if it was a mess, Lu An would still force himself to remember it. With regards to this kind of power, Lu An did not think that there was really no way to find it. It was just that how difficult it was to find it.
Lu An opened his eyes and looked around. At the same time, he expanded his vision to cover all the trees around him. All the landforms in the area formed a model in his sea of consciousness. The state of the movement of all the trees was replicated in his sea of consciousness. It was as if he was standing in the sky above the entire island, observing the movement of all the trees, looking for a pattern.
Lu An admitted that the movement of these trees was extremely complicated. However, in just four breaths, Lu An was able to confirm two facts.
First, the movement of any tree was limited to a radius of two hundred feet. The movement of every tree was limited to a radius of two hundred feet, and would definitely not exceed this range!
Second, if one observed the movement of these trees for a long time, they would not be able to find any pattern. However, if one only picked out the movement of every breath, then there was a pattern!
These two facts were extremely important. This was because the power of these trees was definitely related to the core of the entire island. The first fact showed that these trees could not really move anywhere on the island. In other words, it was very likely that the deepest parts of the island were implicated and controlled. If the entire island was really entangled together, then it meant that these trees were divided into different areas and moved around in different areas. It was the same in the depths of the island!
The second fact showed that there was indeed a path to follow. Lu An continued to observe for a full twenty breaths. He discovered that there were actually only eight kinds of movement paths for each tree. However, they would change every breath, randomly choosing between the eight kinds of non-stop patterns.
Lu An had always been a person who adapted to the situation, and not someone who abided by some kind of action rule. Whether it was to wait and see or to take the initiative to attack, it was all based on the situation. However, at this moment, Lu An chose to take the initiative to attack!
The power of this island was definitely not at the level of a Level Seven Heavenly Master. Wanting to compete with a creature of a higher realm in terms of patience and strength was definitely an act of suicide!
Right now, there were only these attacks on the entire island. No one could predict what would happen next. The first thing Lu An had to do was to escape!
Lu An fled in the same direction as the others. Since he could not break through from the sky, then he had to break through from all directions. The direction that Lu An chose was none other than the west!
Whoosh!
Lu An quickly rushed into the moving trees. These trees were moving faster and faster. Just now, they were moving at the speed of a Level Six Heavenly Master. Now, they had officially reached the speed of a Level Seven Heavenly Master. Coupled with the extremely unpredictable patterns, even Lu An was under great pressure.
However, in the blink of an eye, Lu An had rushed out a distance of two hundred feet. It seemed to be a thrilling journey, but the trees did not hurt him at all.
Lu An's eyes were very bright. They did not flicker or waver in such a dangerous situation. His figure quickly passed through the forest and actually rushed to the west in an extremely short period of time!
Immediately, the remaining twelve people in the west entered Lu An's perception. When he discovered these people, Lu An frowned slightly. The thought of rescuing these people rose in his heart. The method of rescuing them was very simple. He could directly pass in front of these people and let them rush out with him. Whether they fell behind or not had nothing to do with him.
However, Lu An did not choose to do so. This was because he was more worried that these people would attack him and cause trouble for him. Perhaps this was gauging the heart of a gentleman with one's own yardstick. However, this world was too dirty. Compared to saving people, Lu An wanted to ensure his own safety more.
Therefore, Lu An did not choose to pass in front of these people. Instead, he took a slight detour a hundred feet away and quickly passed through.
However … the situation that Lu An did not want to see happened.
Just as Lu An was about to rush out from the side of these people, a huge explosion suddenly appeared a hundred feet away. The terrifying flames instantly engulfed an area of three thousand feet!
