Lie Liangguo was originally with Lie Yan's group. Seeing the three of them navigating the mountains and forests with ease, he got distracted and went to check on the situation of the nine people in the third group.
As a result, he was a step too slow and missed the tree man's attack.
Now that he heard that Lie Yan was in danger, he rushed out first without saying a word.
When he felt the scene, Lie Yan and the others had already retreated into Snake Valley.
When Lie Liangguo led his men to annihilate the tree people and searched for traces deep into the Snake Valley, what he saw was the mutilated corpse of the man in black.
Because of the snakes, the man in black has changed beyond recognition.
But through the wolf-head scimitar, Lie Liangguo certainly recognized that it was the Beidi Wolf Guard.
What a Beidi, he actually dared to sneak into Daqing to assassinate the son of the family. It seems that the war this spring will have to be advanced.
Lie Liangguo searched for Lie Yan to no avail and wondered if the three people had gone out.
At this time, the three people had hidden their whereabouts and were heading to the deepest part of Snake Valley.
Because just now, Li Xiaomian sensed Zhu Guo's aura.
Zhuguo is also called the soul-moistening fruit, which has a very good effect on nourishing the soul.
Nowadays, the souls of the three people are seriously damaged, and everyone needs Zhu Guo's treatment.
Especially for Zhao Qifan, the sea of consciousness is like experiencing a tornado. If he has Zhu Guo, maybe he can regain the memory of his senior brother.
Among these three people, only Li Xiaomian has re-cultivated his spiritual energy, Lie Yan is an internal martial artist of the Li family, and Zhao Qifan has learned royal martial arts.
Li Xiaomian was naturally sensitive to spiritual plants, so the two people were unaware of Zhu Guo and could only follow Li Xiaomian through the Snake Valley and into the primeval forest.
The original forest is called the Black Forest because the trees are tall and dense, and there is no sunlight inside all year round.
In the black forest, there are poisonous insects and poisonous ants everywhere.
The three of them were covered with insect repellent powder and took detoxifying pills. Even so, their exposed skin would be harassed by poisonous ants from time to time.
There was almost no road under their feet. Lie Yan and Zhao Qifan both used Qing Kung. Xiao Mian didn't know how to do Qing Kung. She used vines and nine-link rings to leap and jump without falling behind.
The further you go, the higher the temperature becomes, and there is a faint smell of sulfur in the air.
It seems that this was once a volcanic crater, or there was an underground hot spring here.
The three of them speeded up and got closer to the hot spring. They could already see the hot air and the sound of running water.
Under a cliff that stretches out like a big tongue, dozens of hot spring pits, large and small, are steaming.
In the innermost part of the cliff, a gourd-vine-like plant crawls on the cliff, with two red fruits shining brightly.
It was quiet under the cliff, and no guardian beasts were seen.
Li Xiaomian looked at the largest hot spring pool and indicated with her eyes that there was something in it.
Lie Yan: I'll attract its attention.
Zhao Qifan: You two cover me while I pick the fruits.
Xiao Mian and Lie Yan looked at each other and saw the greed in each other's eyes.
What a joke, how can a gifted treasure like Zhu Guo be used if it only has two fruits? Naturally, it would be more enjoyable to pack it up and put it in the space.
Xiaomian made a gesture: I'll go.
She took one look at the hot spring pool and Lie Yan understood instantly.
Xiao Mian took the lead, with Lie Yan and Zhao Qifan guarding her, focusing on the bubbling hot spring pool.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiaomian got close to the red fruit tree, a giant tail flew out of the pond and swept towards Xiaomian.
Lie Yan's long sword thrust out, and there was a "clang" sound, and there was the sound of steel colliding.
Lie Yan's hands went numb and he shouted: "This guy has evolved into the body of King Kong."
Xiaomian dodged the giant tail's blow, and the nine-link ring in his hand began to cut the stone at the root of the red fruit.
The red fruit tree grows from the cracks in the rocks. If you want to move it with its roots into the space, it is best to dig out most of the roots.
Xiaomian was digging hard at the tree here, and the monster in the hot spring over there also showed its head.
It turned out to be a giant lizard with horns.
Lie Yan and Zhao Qifan blocked the lizard's attack on Xiao Mian. Lie Yan's long sword hit the lizard, leaving only a shallow mark.
Lie Yan shouted: "Boy, use the black gold soul-locking fan."
Zhao Qifan also discovered that his fan was a good thing. As long as it touched the lizard's body, it would create a gash on it.
"Teach me here and you help junior sister."
The Wujin Soul-locking Fan is truly an artifact, fighting a lizard is like chopping melons and vegetables.
Although the monitor lizard has evolved, it is still not smart after all. When escaping, it panics and chooses a way out, and is killed by a headlong collision.
Zhao Qifan watched Li Xiaomian perform a magic trick, disappearing the red fruit tree, and looked around her in surprise.
Lie Yan rolled his eyes: "This guy won't even forget that you have space, right? Then what exactly does he remember?"
Xiaomian sighed: "Senior brother, let's go out first, and I'll explain this to you later."
Lie Yan looked around: "We have to leave quickly. There won't be only one horned lizard here. Judging from the traces, there are at least three."
Zhao Qifan smiled and said: "Don't be afraid if there are ten of them, I can handle it with just one fan."
Li Xiaomian shook his head: "Sir, the one-horned lizard is probably best at sonic attacks. The one we just encountered is probably still underage."
Zhao Qifan was stunned and asked curiously: "How did you know?"
Xiao Mian glanced at him: You taught me this!
Zhao Qifan was stimulated by Xiao Mian's sad eyes and hurriedly shut his mouth. Holding a fan in his hand, he took the lead and walked ahead.
However it was still too late.
Two huge figures appeared on the cliff, and a lizard held a dead man in its mouth.
Xiao Mian narrowed her eyes, these two beasts actually eat people?
There were two lizards, one male and one female, looking at them with cold green eyes, as if they were food in their mouths.
This should be a family, and the one killed by the eldest brother is probably their child.
Sure enough, when the two lizards saw the lizard's body, they suddenly became furious.
The two lizards opened their mouths at the same time, and with the sound of the poisonous snake spitting out messages, two green poisonous arrows flew towards Lie Yan and Zhao Qifan.
The three of them felt a pain in their heads at the same time, and they lost the ability to dodge and fight back at the same time.
In desperation, Li Xiaomian only had time to grab the hems of their clothes and roll, causing the three of them to fall into the space.
As he fell into the space, Xiao Mian quickly pulled off Zhao Qifan's boots.
Thanks to her quick hands, if she were slower, the venom on her boots would corrode his skin.
Seeing the boots turn into a pool of smelly mucus, Zhao Qifan was also frightened.
Zhao Qifan looked at the Zhuguoshu in the space and asked curiously: "Are we going out?"
Xiaomian shook his head: "This is my space."
Zhao Qifan suddenly realized, he blurted out: "How did the space become like this?"
Xiao Mian quickly asked: "Elder brother, do you remember this place?"
Zhao Qifan shook his head. He didn't remember. He wanted to think about it, but he started to have a headache again.
Lie Yan glanced at him: "If you can't remember, don't force it. We are here anyway, and we won't ignore you even if you are stupid."
Xiaomian was speechless.
The aroma of red fruits came to his nostrils. The red fruits were ripe. Xiao Mian picked the biggest one and handed it to Zhao Qifan.
Zhao Qifan declined: "No, you should eat it."
Lie Yan stuffed it into his hand and said, "What are you doing? You can eat it if I tell you to."
He picked off another one and handed it to Xiao Mian, "Mian Sock, let's take a bite each. Come on, you eat first."
Zhao Qifan:......
"Junior sister, you take a bite, and I'll eat again."
