Chapter 1402: Shocking Change
Although Chen Xuan was puzzled, he was not in a hurry. What he lacked the most was patience.
And Sun Tingting, who was with him, was a little afraid of the strange and evil environment around because of the sex of girls. But she had been doing trial tasks in the past few years, so her patience was naturally first-class.
The two waited in the same place for a whole night, but they did not show any sign of impatience. After three or four hours, it was estimated that it should be noon.
"Chen Xuan, why don't we go?" Sun Tingting looked at Chen Xuan with a serious expression. It was not that she had run out of patience, but this place was too creepy. Especially from time to time, you can see ghosts flashing, but you can't figure out what it is. The more you think about it, the more your scalp numbs, and your heart is really scared.
"Wait a little longer." Chen Xuan glanced at Sun Tingting. At this point, turning around is indeed the safest way. After all, they have the route map given by Li Yi and have walked it before. It should not be a problem to return along the original route.
However, Chen Xuan didn't want to give up just like that. If he hadn't smelled the medicinal fragrance of the life fruit, it would have been fine. Now it can be confirmed that there must be life fruits around!
No one would be willing to turn around and walk away because of a little unknown threat. Even if they escaped successfully, they would definitely regret it at that time.
Instead of regretting, it is better to wait and see. Of course, even if he was unwilling to leave like this, Chen Xuan would not take Sun Tingting to take risks. He still has this sense of propriety.
"Oh." Sun Tingting didn't say anything else. She just glanced at Chen Xuan and continued to wait quietly.
While waiting, another four or five hours passed in a blink of an eye. The sky had turned dark again, and the surroundings became dark and ghostly again. Chen Xuan and the others still didn't wait for any news. The people in front of them had no news from beginning to end.
Now, even Chen Xuan, who was originally sure, couldn't help but start to wonder in his heart.
Could it be that the front was really Li Yi's illusion array? Although there was indeed danger, it would be fine as long as we rushed over? And did Li Yi and Qian Tao leave from other routes after getting the life fruit?
With a head full of question marks, Chen Xuan lost confidence in his original judgment. Chen Xuan even felt that if he continued to wait here, he might not wait for a few more days!
Although it is safe now, if time passes, who knows what will come out of this place. He has waited for a night and a day, and it is estimated that it will be in vain if he continues to wait.
After thinking about it, Chen Xuan finally made up his mind and decided to take Sun Tingting back first. However, just when he was about to talk to Sun Tingting, there were messy footsteps and heavy breathing not far ahead of the fog!
Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting's hearts tightened immediately. The two looked at each other and quickly mobilized their internal qi. While being fully alert, they tried to sense the situation ahead.
In the blurred fog, not far ahead, a figure suddenly appeared!
Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting were shocked at the same time. Although it was just a rough outline, they had been following this person all these years.
The person in the fog ahead was Li Yi, who had disappeared for a whole night!
At this moment, Li Yi was running frantically towards the direction where Chen Xuan and the others were, looking at this, it seemed that something was chasing him from behind.
A master in the late stage of fusion was being chased and staggering. Although they couldn't see Li Yi's face clearly, Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting could clearly feel Li Yi's panic at the moment, which made them feel a little strange.
Chen Xuan was secretly shocked when he saw this. What was behind Li Yi?
Li Yi was not a simple person. Judging from the aura he exuded before, even among the masters in the same late stage of fusion, he was definitely not a weakling. Could it be that the one who could make him so embarrassed was a powerful existence beyond the fusion period?
Chen Xuan and the other two were surprised when they heard Li Yi running away in a panic, and he seemed very surprised and unwilling, muttering to himself in disbelief: "It shouldn't be! This life fruit clearly only needs five fusion stage masters to sacrifice blood, and the life tree will no longer have any attack power. This is what my grandfather taught me, it can't be wrong! The previous manipulation of those corpse worms should have led them over, why...ah..."
Li Yi's words suddenly stopped here, and only heard his shrill scream.
Then, Chen Xuan saw that Li Yi, who was getting closer and closer to them, didn't know how powerful the blow was, and he flew backwards with a bang!
At this moment, Chen Xuan looked at Li Yi in surprise, and Sun Tingting also looked at Li Yi lying on the ground with a puzzled look.
Li Yi was lying there struggling, groaning in pain. He hadn't discovered Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting, but even if he discovered them, he couldn't do anything in his current state.
Chen Xuan did not rush over, because he had heard what Li Yi had just said, and thought to himself that his guess was correct. Li Yi's goal was to sacrifice the five of them with blood, so as to obtain the fruit of life.
After thinking about this, Chen Xuan understood why Li Yi acted so strangely along the way, but he could not figure out why it was like this.
But now he knew the truth, and Sun Tingting beside him also showed a look of understanding.
But in the blink of an eye, a strong wave suddenly rushed out from Li Yi's direction again.
"Boom..."
It was just a split second before the wave rushed to Li Yi.
"Ah!"
As a master in the late stage of fusion, Li Yi naturally felt the threat of the powerful wave. However, he was seriously injured and could hardly move. Even so, he still struggled to avoid it.
However, the powerful wave did not give Li Yi this opportunity, but hit Li Yi in a breath.
"Bang!"
Li Yi groaned, and his body was blown several meters away by the powerful wave, leaving a stream of bright red blood on the spot.
Li Yi hit a tree next to him, and soon there was no movement.
This scene in front of him made Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting, who were hiding on the other side, pale with horror.
It was unknown what the thing that attacked Li Yi was. From beginning to end, the thing did not show up, and it looked like it just casually launched two attacks.
Then Li Yi was suspected to have been beaten to death.
Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting didn't even dare to breathe at this moment. Even Chen Xuan didn't dare to do it. He could easily beat Li Yi to death, and he had no power to fight back, so he could only run away.
What level of master is the existence behind him?
This made Chen Xuan shocked?
Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting hid there and waited quietly, not daring to make any moves.
After about an hour, after making sure that there was no movement around, Chen Xuan walked out carefully.
It seems that the existence didn't care about Li Yi's life or death at all, and didn't want to do it again. Anyway, to him, Li Yi was just an ant.
Sun Tingting also followed Chen Xuan out.
Chen Xuan walked towards Li Yi, looked at his broken body, shook his head and said, "This guy seems to be completely dead."
Sun Tingting nodded, without saying anything, nor did she care. No matter what, Li Yi was just a person she met halfway. Although he was a master in the late stage of fusion, he was just a stranger to Sun Tingting.
"What should we do now?" Sun Tingting suddenly looked at Chen Xuan and said?
Chen Xuan was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that there is no movement inside. Let's go over quietly and see if we can get the life fruit."
Sun Tingting nodded in agreement. It has come to this point, and she doesn't want to give up.
"However, we have to worry about the existence in the dark. I don't know what method it is. I don't know if it has any attack power now. If it doesn't work, we will leave here quickly. With our strength, we are not his opponent." Chen Xuan said with a serious look.
"Well. I understand." Sun Tingting also nodded solemnly?
Then, Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting approached the place where Li Yi had just rushed out quietly.
The fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger, and just smelling it made people feel energetic.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger.
After walking for a while, Sun Tingting suddenly pointed to a place in front and said in surprise: "Look, there is a spring there."
Chen Xuan also found it at this moment. I saw that just a few dozen meters in front of the two of them, there were several vines about four or five feet wide wrapped around the spring. The water of the spring was as white as lotion, constantly flowing out from there, and then gathered into a pool of about two meters.
And next to the Tan spring water, there grew a tree more than one meter high, with thin leaves, but green as if it was about to drip water. Those leaves looked strange, like pieces of eggshells, the only difference was that the eggshells were white, and these leaves were green.
There were a few red fruits growing faintly between the leaves. Each fruit was the size of a palm and gave off a tempting fragrance.
"Could that be the life fruit?" Sun Tingting said in disbelief.
Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "No, I have never seen what a life fruit looks like, so there is no way to infer whether it is a life fruit or not."
"Let's go over and take a look?" Sun Tingting said.
Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Be careful. It looks like there is something strange here. It's not clear what it is at this moment."
"Yeah." Sun Tingting nodded. Yeah.
Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting walked through the dense trees and quickly walked towards there at the same time.
Although they were a little fast, the sound of their footsteps, if not carefully listened, could hardly be heard. They did not dare to make too much noise, for fear that the existence in the dark would suddenly attack them.
Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting could smell the strong fragrance from a distance of dozens of meters. Especially when they were close, the fragrance became stronger. Even Chen Xuan, who was relatively tolerant, looked a little greedy at this moment.
Regardless of whether those red fruits were life fruits or not, the alluring fragrance alone made them fascinated.
"This fruit is really fragrant. I have never seen such a fragrant fruit. I don't know what kind it is." Sun Tingting said with some interest.
"Produced in Aowu Forest, it must be something that is not available in the outside world." Chen Xuan said.
While the two were talking, they were already close to the place. Chen Xuan was not completely confused by the scene in front of him. At this moment, he looked around cautiously, but he did not find any movement.
When he came to the side of the pool, Chen Xuan felt that the closer he got to the pool, the stronger the fragrance he smelled. Even the fragrance of wine treasured for thousands of years in the outside world was no more than that.
"Look, behind this tree." Sun Tingting's expression suddenly became a little solemn, and even her tone was a little fearful.
"What?" Chen Xuan looked at the back of the tree with a puzzled look. From the gaps between the dense leaves, he could faintly see a little pink. Chen Xuan looked again. Isn't this the color of Wei Xia's clothes?
Now, Chen Xuan was a little shocked. He didn't expect to see her clothes here?
"It seems like there is someone behind." Sun Tingting's tone was already a little fearful.
When Chen Xuan heard her say this, his expression suddenly froze, and he hurriedly tried to use his hands to push away the dense leaves in front of him.
The scene in front of him suddenly appeared. What caught his eyes were three bodies, which were Qian Tao, Zhou Long, and Wei Xia.
They all had expressions of fear and disbelief on their faces, but the most striking thing was that they were all tied with vines about one foot wide.
Following the vines, these vines actually came out from the ground.
"These things tied to them, can't they be the roots of the tree in front of us?" Sun Tingting said with some fear.
Chen Xuan nodded, compared it with the tree in front of him, and said: "It looks like this."
