Chapter 19 The Stone Giant Forest

After experiencing the crisis of the hanged ghost suspended from the treetops, they encountered another group of terrifying tree demons, of the same race as the tree demons on the periphery, but even more insane and bloodthirsty.

After losing two team members, the group managed to kill the tree demons along the way and successfully passed through that dangerous area. Right now, they have entered an area called the Stone Giant Forest. As the name suggests, the enemies in this level should be stone giants.

However, they have not encountered any yet.

In the first level, they lost two team members and two were seriously injured. In the tree demon territory, the two seriously injured members sacrificed themselves as expected, leaving only nineteen members in the team.

They can only afford to lose one more team member, no more deaths, the Shan Gui (Mountain Ghost) camp has suffered almost no losses, only three were killed by Yuan Shi Tian Zun, and the Lingjing Xingzhe (spiritual realm walkers) of the Shan Gui camp are of higher quality than us, Zhao Chenghuang felt a little heavy in his heart.

The members of the Shan Gui camp include evil classes, as well as powerful rogue cultivators such as Wei Wo Du Zun (Only I Am Supreme) and Jiu Lou Yu (Nine Leaks Fish). Although the number is not as large as the Shan Shen (Mountain God) camp, the overall combat power is actually not bad.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Yuan Ting behind him say in an extremely frightened voice, "What's going on? Yuan Shi Tian Zun and the others suddenly returned to the Maze Forest?"

Sun Miaomiao, Guo He Zu (Crossing-the-River Pawn), the Maoshan Taoist priest and others felt a sinking in their hearts and hurriedly opened the map to check. After taking a look, everyone lost their ability to manage their expressions.

On the central road, the green cursor representing the Five Elements Alliance team, which was originally close to the top of the mountain, actually returned to the Maze Forest.

The evil classes representing the Shan Gui camp, on the other hand, had reached the top of the mountain. "How could this be?"

"A few minutes ago, I saw them reach the top of the mountain, this, this..." "Damn it, if the Shan Gui camp gets the staff, we are doomed." This discovery sent a chill down the spines of everyone in Zhao Chenghuang's team.

Sun Miaomiao, combining the fact that the Shan Gui camp passed through the Maze Forest almost unscathed, immediately understood and said with an ugly face, "It seems that the traitor hidden in the Five Elements Alliance has succeeded." Zhao Chenghuang nodded with a gloomy face, "Following Yuan Shi Tian Zun's team, not only can they use Yuan Shi Tian Zun and Tian Xia Gui Huo (All Under Heaven Returns to Fire)'s ability to complete the dungeon at the lowest cost, but also hunt down Yuan Shi Tian Zun when they catch up with the Five Elements Alliance team.

"Multiple benefits, a good plan!"

The Maoshan Taoist priest and Yuan Ting looked at each other, and the latter, out of instinct, asked, "What are you talking about?" Sun Miaomiao then informed the two of the information about the appearance of Dark Rose at the summit.

Yuan Ting was shocked, "How come I don't know about this? Damn it, being trapped in the training camp has made me lose touch. Also, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

'I'm not like you, blurting out everything?' Sun Miaomiao really didn't feel like complaining about him and sighed heavily. This piece of information was passed from the Songhai branch to the Taiyi Sect, and the higher-ups only revealed it to Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang.

The two are direct descendants of the sect's elders, with solid roots, and are reserve members for future deacons and even elders of the Taiyi Sect. Their review is stricter than ordinary members.

Therefore, the Taiyi Sect's higher-ups only reminded them and asked them to pay close attention to the movements of the six Night Watchers accompanying them.

To prevent possible traitors.

But Sun Miaomiao believed that among the eight Night Watchers who entered the killing dungeon this time, the Maoshan Taoist priest and Yuan Ting were unlikely to be traitors.

Especially the latter, Dark Rose would be out of her mind to develop someone like Yuan Ting as an inside agent. "Eh, someone is going back, someone from the Five Elements Alliance is returning to the top of the mountain." Suddenly, an orderly rogue cultivator shouted in surprise.

The originally despairing crowd was invigorated, and immediately opened the map, and sure enough, they saw two faint green lights appearing at the edge of a large group of red cursors. And the other green cursors were moving quickly towards the top of the mountain.

For some reason, Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, Guo He Zu and others, simultaneously had a thought in their minds: one of the two light spots of Yuan Shi Tian Zun is Yuan Shi Tian Zun.

Without any reason, relying on intuition, they believed it was Yuan Shi Tian Zun.

Only those who have experienced the arena competition know how difficult and cunning Yuan Shi Tian Zun is. This kind of person will not be killed by simple conspiracies, even if he capsizes in the gutter, he will jump a few times to splash the enemy with mud.

Zhao Chenghuang's mood was rarely complicated, both excited and nervous, and he said loudly, "At all costs, clear the level quickly, Yuan Shi Tian Zun won't last long."

As soon as he finished speaking, heavy footsteps came from the front. In the darkness ahead, a figure nearly three meters tall slowly approached the crowd.

Its entire body was light brown, seemingly composed of stones. On the round stone symbolizing its head, there were no obvious facial features. Every step it took caused the ground to tremble slightly.

Sun Miaomiao shouted loudly:

"Everyone, we need to race against time, don't hold back, go all out, take it down, and support Yuan Shi Tian Zun. Once the Shan Gui camp gets the staff, we will surely lose."

"Understood!"

The members of the Five Elements Alliance and the orderly rogue cultivators showed amazing consistency and cohesion, and responded in unison.

Duan, no, in fact, he had never even seen such a means of teleportation.

It completely touched his blind spot of knowledge.

The members of the Shan Gui camp also looked stunned and couldn't help but stop, confronting Guan Ya and Yuan Shi Tian Zun by the bluestone.

At the same time, they cautiously observed the surrounding environment to confirm whether the group of people from the Five Elements Alliance had also returned. Zhang Yuanqing took the expressions of this group of enemies into his eyes, ignored them, and turned to look at the tone-deaf person, gritting his teeth and saying, "So the traitor is you. To be honest, I really didn't expect it. But that doesn't stop me from having a backup plan."

The tone-deaf person reached out and grabbed a pitch-black bamboo flute from the air beside him, gritting his teeth and saying, "Besides Tian Xia Gui Huo and Mai Bao Xiao Lang Jun (Little Match Boy), do you have any other suspects?" If not, Yuan Shi Tian Zun would not have reserved a backup plan when both of them were controlled. Seeing the people from the Shan Gui camp looking at him, and not launching a strong attack immediately, Zhang Yuanqing was happy to delay the time and explained:

"Because Tian Xia Gui Huo's words reminded me that after I gathered everyone, I didn't find any abnormal behavior, and his method of cracking space movement was thought of after everyone gathered, um, also thought of before you returned to the team.

"So, how did these people from the Shan Gui camp clear the level unscathed? I thought of a possibility at the time, could someone have figured out a way in advance? Even walked out of the Moving Forest in advance, so when we walked out of the forest, no one got a reward. And if this person is a traitor, whether it's refusing to hand over the reward item, or the people from the Shan Gui camp are not affected by space movement and quickly walk out of the forest, all of this is explained.

"So I thought again, why doesn't the traitor hand over the reward? He can completely continue to hide and wait for an opportunity to give me a fatal blow, instead of intensifying the conflict in advance and forcing me to be frank with everyone.

"The only explanation is that he thinks the opportunity for a fatal blow is right in front of him. Combining this with the characteristics of the Moving Forest, ha, all the rewards are related to the dangers we encounter.

"I can easily deduce that the item the traitor obtained should be an item like space movement, so what he wants to do can also be inferred."

Standing at the entrance of the temple, the tone-deaf person snorted coldly

"So, you relied on having that teleportation-like ability just now and waited for me to make a move? Hmph, but have you forgotten that I can teleport you once, and I can teleport you a second time."

After saying that, he looked at Bai Wu Jin Ji (No Taboos) on the opposite side of the open space and said loudly:

"The equipment on this woman is a set. Don't waste time, teleport them away directly." He was worried that the evil classes would not be clear-headed and try to kill Yuan Shi Tian Zun at this time.

Although there are many people on our side, the set on that woman is not to be trifled with. In addition, Yuan Shi Tian Zun is a Night Watcher, and stealth skills are a life-saving skill. It is not easy to kill them.

The most important thing now is to seize the staff. With the staff, the Shan Gui camp will have a great advantage. Are we afraid of not having a chance to kill Yuan Shi Tian Zun? Bai Wu Jin Ji on the other side spread out his palms and sneered:

"Smart, worthy of being hailed by the authorities as a genius in clearing dungeons, truly a terrifying opponent!" As he spoke, cyan light gathered in his palm, and a miniature forest sandbox appeared, activating without hesitation. The sandbox collapsed into light debris, wrapping around Guan Ya and Yuan Shi Tian Zun a dozen meters away, but the figures of the two did not disappear, but shattered like phantoms.

Seeing this scene, the tone-deaf person at the entrance of the temple, as well as a group of evil classes, felt a chill in their hearts. The next second, the tone-deaf person heard a cold laugh behind him, "I'm in the temple."

Before he could react, his vision suddenly spun around. The sky, the ground, and the stone temple flashed before his eyes like a revolving wheel. Finally, he saw his own body, standing at the entrance of the temple.

The neck of the body was empty, and a fountain of blood gushed out from the bowl-sized wound.

Behind him was Yuan Shi Tian Zun, holding a snow-bright willow blade. He gazed downward with a sneering arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Save, save."

The tone-deaf person's head rolled down the stone steps, his mouth opened and closed, then froze, the light in his eyes extinguished. Attacking a musician was not difficult at all. Zhang Yuanqing kicked the body in front of him down the steps, held the blade and looked at A Yi and the others, mocking, "Can you teleport one more time?"

Bai Wu Jin Ji, Fatty and others frowned, feeling that this person was tricky, and also dissatisfied with his arrogant attitude.

From the beginning, Zhang Yuanqing's destination for teleportation was the Mountain God Temple. The two people in the open space were not the real body, but the charm technique performed by the Ghost Bride.

The Ghost Bride's charm technique can deceive illusionists. This has been verified in the previous ambush. The reason why Zhang Yuanqing did this was to trick the opponent into using their ultimate move.

He expected that the other party would choose to use the teleportation item, because there are many rational and intelligent people among these evil classes. Like Zhuge Liang's Empty City Stratagem, when he used it, he expected that Sima Yi would be tricked. If the opponent was Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang would definitely not dare to show off his intelligence.

After the Yin-Yang array is unfolded, everyone will be trapped in the array for five minutes. The teleportation item will naturally be useless.

Speaking of which, if he couldn't withstand it alone, Zhang Yuanqing planned to keep a teleportation jade talisman. But there were too many enemies, he could only divide the only two teleportation jade talismans to Guan Ya, Lao Siji (Old Driver) is invincible in combat, has a set bonus, and has a deadly rifle, the overall combat power is extremely terrifying.

Only by bringing her along, Zhang Yuanqing has the confidence to block this group of people. Wei Wo Du Zun took a few steps forward and said, "Yuan Shi Tian Zun, you have a lot of cleverness, but it seems that you and the woman behind you are not enough to block us." At this time, among the twenty-two Lingjing Xingzhe of the Shan Gui camp, only Yuan Shi Tian Zun and the mixed-race woman wearing the set had confirmed their return.

Zhang Yuanqing scrutinized this powerhouse ranked first on the rogue cultivator list and asked directly, "Are you from Dark Rose?" Wei Wo Du Zun nodded.

And Jiu Lou Yu, carrying double knives, also smiled and said, "Me too!"

"Those of us who chose to stay in the Shan Gui camp are all Lingjing Xingzhe cultivated by Dark Rose.

"The organization wants us to kill you. I like this task. It's a very interesting thing to fight against a powerhouse like you."

Holding double knives, he took the lead in launching an attack.

Jiu Lou Yu ran a few steps, jumped up, and leaped towards Yuan Shi Tian Zun, who was walking down the steps towards the bluestone. At a certain moment, he raised his double knives, and the figure leaping into the air overlapped with the full moon, like the god of death in the dark night. Bang! A muffled and powerful gunshot came from the entrance of the stone temple, and the fire flashed and disappeared.

And Jiu Lou Yu, who swung his knife to kill Yuan Shi Tian Zun, suddenly retracted his double knives and slashed forward. Ding!

Sparks flashed, and the bullet that shot towards him was split in half, making two "puff puff" sounds, and hit the forest behind the crowd, just embedded in the tree trunk.

Jiu Lou Yu then landed, his tiger's mouths cracked, and blood dripped along the back of his hands.

Guan Ya, holding a rifle, walked to the entrance of the temple. She tied her beautiful hair into a heroic ponytail, and her autumn-wave-like eyes rippled with killing intent.

Although they are enemies facing each other in life and death, such a high-quality beauty appearing in front of them still made everyone feel amazing.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing had already come to the side of the Houtu Boots and put on this item. He looked at the enemies of the Shan Gui camp and said, "With my personal ability, of course I can't stop you. So, I left these boots here in advance." After saying that, his pupils were filled with a dense fog-like yellow light, and his aura rose layer by layer, breaking through the Extraordinary realm and directly approaching the Saint.

Houtu Boots - A Mountain God

This Saint-quality item possesses some of the "Mountain God's" skills and can refine an area to become the "God" in this area, and the deeper the mountains and forests, the stronger the power of the item wearer after refining. <.

The price of activating this ability is time! It takes time to refine an area.

So Zhang Yuanqing secretly left this item in the open space when he arrived at the top of the mountain, to create time for it. Now he is not a Extraordinary realm walker, but a Saint of weak fourth grade.
