Chapter 526: Mysterious Peach Forest

Yuan Ming stood still outside the woods. While scanning the peach forest several times, he let go of his consciousness to explore the forest, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

The moment he released his spiritual consciousness and entered the peach forest, this ray of consciousness quickly dissipated. He then released his spiritual consciousness and tried again in another direction, but it was still the same, and he could not form an effective detection at all.

"Sure enough, this peach forest contains the universe. I have seen a lot of restrictions on gods, but this is the first time I have encountered such a restriction that can scatter the consciousness." Yuan Ming thought to himself.

While thinking about it, he controlled the first soul in the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, sat cross-legged on the white jade lotus platform, and lowered his consciousness to investigate.

The restrictions in the peach forest naturally cannot stop the exploration of the first soul. However, the first soul has limited soul power and can only detect a range of twenty or thirty miles at most, unable to see the whole peach forest.

While Yuan Ming kept trying, Lei He and Yan Xiang stood not far away with solemn expressions on their faces, apparently aware of the anomaly in the peach forest.

"What a weird Taolin, could it be another test?" Lei He said thoughtfully.

Yan Xiang didn't say anything. He raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist. Immediately, a red light flew out from his waist and landed lightly on the ground, turning into a bright red fire ferret.

After the little thing landed on the ground, it immediately circled around Yan Xiang, and immediately let out a "squeak" sound from its mouth. It was obvious that it liked the environment of Jinkui Fairy Island very much.

"Go." Yan Xiang ordered.

The fire ferret spirit beast immediately dragged its fiery red tail, transformed into a stream of red light, and quickly got into the red peach forest.

"My fire ferret is smarter and more sensitive than ordinary monks. Any danger it can detect will be informed to me through its connection with my mind. With it exploring the road ahead, you can..." Don't worry yet. As he spoke, Yan Xiang's expression suddenly changed, and his unspoken words were also interrupted.

"Fellow Taoist Yanxiang, what's wrong?" Lei He called hesitantly.

After calling twice, Yan Xiang finally reacted and said with a somewhat stiff expression: "The connection between my mind and my heart has been interrupted. I can't sense the fire ferret anymore."

Hearing this, Lei He and Yuan Ming looked at each other.

None of them meant to laugh at Yan Xiang, but there was a trace of solemnity in their eyes.

"It seems that this peach forest is not a kind place. Let's take a detour." Lei He was silent for a while and suggested with a frown.

Yuan Ming thought for a moment and nodded.

Yan Xiang seemed a little reluctant to part with his fire ferret, but after hesitating for a moment, he still chose to take a detour.

The three of them chose a direction and started to take a detour towards Taolin.

They walked for nearly an hour, but still could not see the edge of the peach forest.

If he keeps going like this, he doesn't know when it will end. Yuan Ming pondered for a while and then flew up in the air, planning to fly directly over.

As a result, a strange scene occurred.

As soon as his body flew away, the peach forest in front of him also grew taller. No matter how high he flew, it was firmly blocking the front.

"Hey, it seems that the detour will not work." Yuan Ming fell to the ground and shook his head.

"Why do you say this?" Yan Xiang asked.

Yuan Ming told the two of them what they encountered after flying into the air.

"I'll try." Lei He raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and two golden-browed swallows flew out.

He raised his hand and waved, and the two golden-browed swallows immediately fluttered their wings and flew towards the top of the peach forest at an extremely fast speed.

As soon as they flew into the sky above the peach forest, the trees below suddenly extended upward at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing taller very quickly.

A Golden-browed Swallow was caught off guard and was obscured by the rising branches, and soon disappeared.

The remaining one rushed straight up into the sky.

As it continued to rise, the branches of the peach forest below also continued to extend, with no intention of stopping.

The golden-browed swallow continued to fly high, as if it had been attacked by something. Suddenly it changed direction and flew back in a hurry.

It almost fell into Lei He's hand, looking extremely embarrassed.

Yuan Ming and others quickly looked over and saw that Jinmeiyan's back was completely charred and black. It looked like she had been severely burned. If she hadn't turned back in time, she might not have been able to come back.

"It seems that flying too high is not enough. The higher you go, the higher the temperature will be, and the spirit beasts will not be able to resist." Yuan Ming looked at the sky and said with squinted eyes.

"Since you can't fly to the sky, let's hide on the ground." Yan Xiang frowned and said.

"The fire-attributed spiritual power in the ground is more dense than in the air. It is extremely difficult to escape from the ground in this place. Unless you are extremely skilled in escape from the earth, you will only end up being burned to death underground." Yuan Ming shook his head slowly. He shook his head and said.

"It seems that the only way is through the peach forest." After Lei He healed Jin Meiyan's injury, he put it away and sighed.

"That's all we can do. I'm afraid, as Senior Lei He just said, this is another test for us." Yuan Ming said.

The three of them had no choice but to make a summary and walked towards Taolin.

As soon as they entered the peach forest, the three of them discovered that the reason why the trees here were red when viewed from a distance was not only because the peach blossoms were in full bloom, but also because the trunks were unique and were also bright red.

The fire attribute spiritual power in the forest was even more abundant, so much so that Yan Xiang couldn't help but let out an exclamation after stepping into it.

"There are some evil spirits in this forest. We'd better not gather together like we did when we crossed the lake. Of course, we shouldn't separate too far. We just need to take care of each other." Lei He suggested.

Yuan Ming and Yan Xiang also agreed with this idea.

So the three of them spread out in a "品" shape, with Yan Xiang walking in front, Yuan Ming and Lei He walking on the left and right sides behind. The three of them supported each other and were ready to support each other at any time.

At the beginning, there was no abnormality in the distance of ten or so feet.

But after walking for a while, Yuan Ming suddenly found that Yan Xiang, who was walking in front, suddenly disappeared after going around a peach tree.

"Stop first." Yuan Ming shouted loudly.

"What's wrong?" Lei He heard the voice and asked in surprise.

"Yan Xiang is gone." Yuan Ming said immediately.

"He is not... Hey, where did he go?" Lei He's voice suddenly rose.

The surroundings fell into silence.

"Who did you say is missing?" But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang.

But the moment he heard the voice, the look of doubt in Yuan Ming's eyes became even more intense.

That voice was undoubtedly Yan Xiang's, but the location where he made the voice was behind Yuan Ming to the right.

"Yan Xiang? Why did you run over there?" Lei He also found the problem and asked in doubt.

At this time, Yan Xiang's voice came from behind again: "What's wrong with you? When did you get in front of me?"

"There is something strange in this peach forest. You two should come to my side first." Yuan Ming shouted loudly.

"Okay." The voices of the other two people responded soon.

When Yuan Ming turned his head to look at Lei He, he was still within his field of vision.

However, when he came over, the peach forest in front of Yuan Ming suddenly fluctuated, and then, Lei He, who was still visible, suddenly disappeared.

"Lei He Daoyou?" Yuan Ming called out.

However, this time, no one responded.

He turned around and looked to the right and back, and he could no longer see Yan Xiang's trace, as if he had suddenly disappeared. No one answered no matter how he called.

The surroundings fell into silence, with only the rustling sound of the breeze. It seemed as if he was the only one left in the peach forest.

Yuan Ming's heart trembled, and he hurriedly controlled the first soul in the Heaven Stealing Cauldron to sit on the white jade lotus again, and cast his consciousness, covering the area of ​​20 to 30 miles nearby.

However, in the range he could detect, Yan Xiang and Lei He were no longer visible.

"In just a dozen breaths, could they have walked 20 to 30 miles? Could there be a teleportation array or trap that is difficult to see with the naked eye? Or..." Yuan Ming frowned and pondered.

He did not rush to withdraw his consciousness, but quietly observed for a while.

As a result, he really found some clues.

In the range of his consciousness, the densely packed peach trees on the ground seemed motionless, but some of them were constantly moving and changing positions.

This kind of movement was extremely hidden and made no sound, and the peach trees were similar to each other. If he did not have the perspective of the first soul, it would be difficult to find.

"There is indeed some kind of teleportation restriction in this peach forest. No wonder Lei He and Yan Xiang disappeared in an instant." Yuan Ming thought secretly.

Now that the secret of the peach forest has been discovered, it seems that passing through this place has become less difficult.

Yuan Ming looked up at the three suns hanging in the air, which were located above the golden giant peak. After identifying the direction, he immediately used the ghost shadow escape method and flew towards the golden giant peak.

As a result, he did not walk far, and suddenly his eyes blurred slightly, and he appeared in an unfamiliar peach forest.

"Hey, I was also moved?" Yuan Ming murmured, but did not care too much.

This peach forest cannot be infinitely large. No matter where you are teleported, as long as the direction is correct and you keep walking forward, you can always get out. According to his estimation, this level should not be difficult.

But when Yuan Ming raised his head, the expression on his face froze.

The scene in front of him completely overturned his previous guess, but he saw three suns hanging in the sky on the right hand side, and the golden giant peak appeared on the left hand side.

"How could it be? They were together just now. Could it be that the sun and the golden giant peak were also moved?" Yuan Ming blinked, feeling unbelievable.

"No, I can't speculate based on common sense. The giant peak and the sun should not move at will. It is probably that there is something wrong with my eyes. The three suns and the golden giant peak are hanging in a place that cannot be reached by my spiritual sense, but I can guarantee that they are real, not illusions." Yuan Ming quickly calmed down, combined with the various clues and information before, and began to sort out his thoughts.
