Chapter 69: Someone in the Tree

"Why do we feel like we're going back again?"

"Isn't this road straight? Why do you have to turn that way?"

"Are we really on the right track?"

The two girls who had no sense of direction kept asking confused questions along the way. In fact, they were not the only ones, but others also had questions. It was clear that they felt that they were always walking in a straight line, but Cheng Yan asked them to make turns as they walked.

Muyu explained for Chengyan: "We all have to determine the direction based on something when walking. In this forest, all we can see are trees, and these trees actually have many subtle differences. We think they are straight lines.

But in fact, we have already turned a corner.”

As he walked, he touched the trees he passed. At first, he didn't notice anything unusual about the trees. Now, every time he passed a tree, his hand would trace its trunk. Chengyan was heading in the right direction. These trees looked like

It would move quietly, and would often lead them astray for no apparent reason. If it weren't for that Simon, I'm afraid they would have circled back to where they were.

The Yumeng demons are proficient in the Five Elements Formation and Qimen Dunjia. When humans enter their main battlefield, it is too difficult to get out on two feet. The only way is to fly, and flying means that you cannot find anything in this forest.

There is no trace of the Yumon Demon Clan.

No wonder the Yumon Demon Clan has been fighting with humans for so long. They will never be truly extinct. On their battlefield, it is really difficult for humans to completely eliminate them.

"Wait a minute, I smell death."

Mu Yu suddenly stopped, he sniffed, and an unknown premonition came to his heart. It was a very strange feeling, and he couldn't even describe it accurately. He would feel inexplicable when monsters or humans died.

This feeling occurs, but it is not so strong usually.

"What's the dead air? What are you talking about?" Everyone stopped and stared at him strangely. No one knew what Mu Yu meant by the dead air.

Mu Yu himself doesn't know. He only knows that living people are alive, and the so-called death aura will wrap around the dead. That kind of aura cannot be explained by smell, it is just a kind of sensitivity to life. There must be something around here.

What happened.

"This way!"

Mu Yu walked to the right, crossed a pit, pushed aside the branches blocking the road, and walked around several big trees. A big locust tree with vicissitudes of life appeared in front of them. The branches of this big locust tree were lush and leafy, blocking the sky.

The sun shrouded the surroundings somewhat gloomily, with only mottled sunlight shining on the ground, making it appear dim.

The branches of the locust tree are very thick, which is different from what we usually see. It takes ten people holding hands to hug it. Everyone has never seen such a thick locust tree, including Mu Yu, who is most familiar with plants.

"What a strong smell of blood!" Gu Yitian's eyes flashed with strange light.

The smell of blood!

As soon as they heard these three words, everyone else immediately became cautious. Everyone quickly looked around, but they didn't see any blood or even signs of a fight.

"Why don't I smell anything?" Hongyan took a deep breath and didn't feel the so-called smell of blood.

"You haven't experienced too much fighting, and you haven't seen real killing. You won't understand the smell of blood." Gu Yitian slowly approached the huge locust tree and stared at it.

The smell of blood comes from this tree.

Mu Yu was standing in front of the big tree at this moment. His hand slowly touched the big locust tree. As soon as his consciousness sank into the big locust tree, his face suddenly changed involuntarily. He quickly let go and looked at it in horror.

With this big locust tree.

"What's wrong?" Hao Yingjun asked strangely.

In his opinion, apart from its tall appearance and thick branches, there was nothing noteworthy about this big locust tree. He couldn't smell the smell of blood that Gu Yitian mentioned.

"No, it's okay."

How could it be okay!

Mu Yu's breathing became a little rapid. The moment his palm touched the locust tree, he saw a scene that frightened him. No matter who it was, without any warning, he suddenly saw what Mu Yu saw.

They will all be scared out of their wits!

There is a man inside the tree! A dead man!

That was a cultivator. Mu Yu had seen him before, because this person was also one of the forty people who came here this time. He forgot which sect this person came from, but this person was trapped in the branches of a locust tree at the moment.

!

The man's eyes were round and seemed to be about to bulge. There was no blood on his face. His hands were tightly covering his neck. His expression was extremely distorted. Fear was written on his face. His whole body was squeezed.

He was curled up unnaturally, and his whole body was covered in scarlet blood, which was shocking.

The thick branches of the locust tree wrapped him up without leaving any extra gaps, as if the man was a handicraft, perfectly embedded in it.

Just like making a bronze statue, the copper is melted and then cast on the mold. This person is a mold, and the locust tree is like melting and then wrapping him, and it fits perfectly.

Mu Yu slowly calmed down. He had never seen such a scene before. The locust tree swallowed up the man and remained in its original state. If he hadn't had the ability to control trees, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

No human being can do this, only the Muyumen demon clan can do it!

And Mu Yu himself!

But how dare Mu Yu tell what he saw? If he told others, he would have to explain to others why he knew there was a dead person in this locust tree! He himself had an unclear relationship with the Yumon Demon Clan.

It cannot be clarified at this moment.

"The deathly aura you are talking about comes from this locust tree, right? The bloody smell I smell also comes from this locust tree." Gu Yitian said from the side.

"Why does the tree smell like blood?" Xue'er walked over and looked at the locust tree in confusion. She didn't notice anything unusual, and she boldly reached out and touched the trunk.

Hao Yingjun pulled out the flying sword with a clang: "Then let's chop it off and take a closer look?"

"This tree is so big. I don't know how many hundreds of years it has been growing. It would be a pity to cut it down," Hongyan said.

"Senior brother, what do you think?" Mu Yu tried to stay calm.

Chengyan looked at Mu Yu's eyes. He had known Mu Yu for a long time and knew the meaning of each other's words and deeds. He knew that Mu Yu had the ability to blend into trees, and Mu Yu's performance showed that the tree had

It's weird, but it's just because of his ability to control wood, so Mu Yu didn't say it clearly.

He had no idea what exactly would make Mu Yu react so strongly.

"Since Gu Yitian said that this tree smells of blood, let's cut it down and take a look."

Chengyan can't ask Mu Yu directly. He and Mu Yu have been together for two years. He naturally knows what Mu Yu means. Mu Yu just hopes that everyone will cut down this tree so that others can know what is the abnormality of this tree.

What.

"Don't cut it off at the waist. This tree is so tall. It wouldn't be a good idea if it fell. Just peel off the bark slowly." Mu Yu said this to Chengyan.

Chengyan nodded, understanding. The flying sword in his hand had already moved towards the locust tree, and everyone involuntarily stepped back. The sword in the hand of Chengyan, who was in the Jindan period, was extremely powerful. Even though the bark of the locust tree was hard, under Chengyan

But he was like tofu under the sword, vulnerable to a blow.

Everyone held their breath and watched Chengyan carefully cut the bark of the tree, piece by piece. Everyone was very nervous, fearing that a monster would suddenly emerge from the trunk of the locust tree.

There were more and more sawdust on the ground, and Chengyan did not dare to cut too much at once. Slowly, he cut off nearly one-third of the thick branches.

"etc!"

Mu Yu felt something was wrong. The person he saw just now was on the outside of the tree trunk. It was not filled in so deeply. According to the extent of Chengyan's cutting, he should have already appeared.

"What's wrong?" Chengyan stopped.

Mu Yu calmed down, walked forward, touched the locust tree with his hand again, then took a breath, his consciousness merged into the locust tree, and then he was startled again!

That person actually disappeared!

What a ghost in broad daylight?

Mu Yu was shocked, but something was still wrong. His consciousness involuntarily went to the top of the locust tree, and he finally felt that something was wrong. The man did not disappear, he actually moved to the top of the locust tree trunk! No, more than that,

There was not only that person in the locust tree, but also a moving creature, which was——

"Up there!" Chengyan suddenly said, another flying sword appeared in his hand, and with a fierce thrust, the flying sword rushed towards the branches of the locust tree.

When Chengyan pierced the branch, a green shadow flashed out from the branch, hit another tree very quickly, and disappeared again.

Everyone's attention was focused on Chengyan. When Chengyan's flying sword thrust out, everyone also looked at Chengyan's flying sword. Although the green figure was very fast, everyone was a cultivator, and in an instant he was still

See his face clearly!

It was a creature that was green all over. Its skin was a little rough, as uneven as the bark of a tree. Its hands and feet were formed by the roots wrapped around its beards. There were young leaves growing in some parts of its body. His eyes were a ball of green mist.

, looks extremely weird.

"That's the Muyumeng Demon Clan!"

Everyone was shocked. This was the first time they had seen the Yumon Demon Clan. Although they often heard their elders talk about the hateful appearance of the Yumon Demon Clan, that was just a description after all, and it was not as real as seeing it with their own eyes.

At this moment, a figure jumped out of the trees and showed its face in front of the cultivators. Almost without thinking, everyone was sure that this was the goal of their trip!

"Chase!" Gu Yitian's words woke everyone up, and everyone quickly stepped onto the flying sword.

"Stop chasing!" Chengyan stopped Gu Yitian, "This is a forest, how can we catch up?"

The Yumon Demon Tribe has disappeared. Everyone looked at each other and understood that what Chengyan said was right, but they were still a little unwilling because the Yumon Demon Tribe escaped right under their noses.

Mu Yu didn't move. He stared blankly at the branch where the Yumeng demon had just jumped out, where Chengyan's flying sword was stuck right now.

Xue'er followed Mu Yu's gaze and landed on the branch. Her face suddenly turned pale and bloodless——

"ah--"

Xue'er's screams resounded through the woods, echoing for a long time.

On the branch where the Muyoumeng Demon Clan jumped out, half of a figure emerged from the branch at this moment. His upper body was exposed to everyone's view, hanging powerlessly, but his lower body merged with the locust tree and remained as one.

Buried in a locust tree! It seemed like he was trying to climb out of the locust tree, but he only climbed out of the upper body and then stopped.

The Muyumeng Demon Clan wanted to take the man away from the locust tree, but Chengyan's sword was too fast. The Muyumeng Demon Clan pulled the man halfway out of the locust tree before giving up and running away alone.

The man with only half of his body was covered in blood, which had dried up. His eyes were bloodshot and round, staring at everyone under the tree. His eyes were full of pain and fear. He seemed to want to tell something, but could no longer say anything.

Exported.
