Chapter 152: Chapter 101: Lin Jingzhu’s Hand Warmer! Meeting an Old Acquaintance Again! (6K)_2

"What’s going on? Where are the others from Group Four?"

Li Siya asked.

A bitter expression crossed Yu Fei’s face, and he said, "We were secretly tracking the Demon Clan, waiting for support, but they discovered us and launched an ambush."

"The members of the Demon Clan are too strong, we are no match for them."

"I fought my way out at the risk of my life, but the others...they were all taken away by the Demon Creatures."

Everyone’s faces turned very grim upon hearing this.

Given the bloodthirsty and ferocious nature of the Demon Clan, the chances were slim for the members of Group Four...

Li Siya asked, "Do you know where those Demon Creatures have gone?"

With difficulty, Yu Fei extended his hand and took out a compass from his chest, answering, "I managed to mark one of the Demon Clan...at least two of them are of the ’Chinese Zodiac Branches’ rank, and there’s another Demon Creature with tremendous strength, which I suspect is one of the ’Heavenly Stems.’"

Li Siya took the compass from him, and the needle pointed northeast.

"Rest well, leave the rest to us."

He ordered a priest to escort Yu Fei down the mountain and then continued deeper into the mountain, following the compass’s guidance.

After streaking through the air for dozens of miles, Li Siya suddenly halted, frowning slightly.

The needle on the compass was jumping erratically, as if being interfered with by something.

"We’re not sure of the direction, we must split up and move forward...groups of two, five hundred yards apart, if anything happens, signal with the insignia immediately."

Li Siya methodically made arrangements and then turned to Chen Mo, "Brother Chen, you and Lin Catcher..."

Lin Jingzhu interrupted, "I’ll be in a group with Mr. Chen."

Chen Mo glanced at her and said, "You’re not going to have an outbreak of Chill Toxin midway, right? I don’t want to have to carry a block of ice."

Lin Jingzhu shook her head, "Don’t worry, I won’t joke with my own life...and I haven’t used up the Hand Warmer you gave me last night yet."

"..."

Chen Mo’s expression paused for a moment, recalling the scene he had witnessed last night.

Having suffered from Chill Toxin since childhood, it was hard to imagine how Lin Jingzhu had managed to survive all these years... If it were someone else, they might not even have the courage to continue living, and yet she seemed so carefree...

"Let’s go."

The two took off deeper into the dense forest.

The deeper they went into the mountain, the darker the visibility became.

Giant ancient trees loomed, branches and leaves layered upon one another; sunlight squeezed through the leaves, scattering a mottled play of light and shadow on the ground.

Mist pervaded all around, as if shrouding everything in a hazy veil, abruptly reducing visibility.

Chen Mo expanded his perception, his brows deeply furrowed, his Divine Sense range severely constrained by the mist—intriguingly peculiar...

Suddenly, he came to a stop.

Lin Jingzhu, who was following, nearly collided into him.

"Mr. Chen, what’s wrong?" Lin Jingzhu asked.

Chen Mo looked around and said gravely, "Don’t you think it’s too quiet here?"

Lin Jingzhu suddenly realized.

There were no sounds of insects or birds, nor signs of other people, ominously silent as a grave.

Ice formed beneath her feet as she leaped into the air, attempting to observe from above.

However, just as she jumped, a huge crack appeared on a tree behind her, as if it was mocking with a smile, and a branch as thick as an arm lashed out viciously at her!

?!

Lin Jingzhu reacted swiftly, twisting her body mid-air; the branch grazed her nose.

She shook her Black Gold Long Stick, which suddenly extended, plunging into the crack!

Boom!

The ancient tree trembled violently, the crack closed, locking the Black Gold Long Stick firmly in place.

Dozens of branches lashed down simultaneously, nearly sealing off any space for her to dodge.

"It understands tactics?!"

Rather than dodging, Lin Jingzhu spread her Black Ice Armor, bracing herself against the lashes as she channeled True Yuan into the Black Gold Long Stick.

Azure Might · Yang Flame!

Boom!

A blazing fire erupted, blasting the thick trunk apart!

"Awooo!"

The ancient tree let out piercing howls under the flames.

Lin Jingzhu retrieved her stick and landed on the ground, her eyebrows knitted in concern, "What kind of creature is this?"

Whoosh—

Chen Mo drew his Broken Jade Blade, silencing the howls as a giant tree thick enough to be embraced by several men toppled.

Text flickered before his eyes:

[Demise of Demon Creature · Wood Spirit, True Spirit +50.]

Simultaneously, a stream of verdant light infused into his body, coursing through the meridians, and finally settling into a Critical Acupoint.

"This is...Vitality Essence?"

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.

Though just a strand, it was incredibly pure, not inferior to the Nine Revolutions Green Origin Pill!

Lin Jingzhu, holding her stick, said, "Mr. Chen, let’s move on."

Chen Mo shook his head, "I’m afraid they might not agree..."

"Hmm?"

Lin Jingzhu turned to look, her expression instantly stiffening.

All around, the ancient trees opened gaping maws and the towering trunks blocked out the sky!

A chill ran down Lin Jingzhu’s back—if it were one alone, it would be manageable, but facing so many Tree Demons attacking at once, her Black Ice Armor might not withstand it!

"Mr. Chen..."

She looked at Chen Mo, only to be stunned to see an excited smile on his face.

"So many experience treasures, and they come with Vitality Essence... jackpot!"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

The vines wrapped around the tree trunks shot towards them, binding their arms and legs firmly.

Then numerous branches whipped down forcefully, the gusts howling with a chilling roar that made one’s hair stand on end and blood run cold!

Boom, boom, boom!

The ground cracked, rocks and soil blew apart, the whole forest trembling!

The next moment, a dazzling blue light soared into the sky.

Chen Mo, clad in Jade Scale armor, moved like lightning, weaving through the branches.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

His Broken Jade Blade trailed a tail of flames, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the Tree Demons.
