Time passed by, minute by minute.
Before we knew it, it had gotten dark.
Jiang Fan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. Wei Cangyue also opened his eyes at the same time, and the two looked around almost in unison.
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
Under the cool moonlight, the peach trees swung their gnarled branches, which danced wildly, sometimes whipping each other, sometimes swaying and twisting, sometimes entwining with each other.
"Hiss--" Bu Yingjun opened his eyes and saw this horrifying scene, and immediately gasped deeply.
Shen Xu Yi Tang's expressions changed drastically, and they instinctively moved closer to their teammates.
"This is... a plant-type monster?" Jiang Fan glanced at Wei Cangyue out of the corner of his eye.
"Hmm," Wei Cangyue replied.
"But aren't plant-type monsters extremely rare? How come there are so many plant-type monsters here?"
This was the first time Jiang Fan had ever encountered a plant-type monster. He had been hunting monsters for so long, but he had never encountered one before.
Looking at the endless layers of peach blossoms, Wei Cangyue's expression grew increasingly solemn.
A few seconds later, he said to Jiang Fan in an extremely solemn tone, "No matter what, I will get you out of this peach blossom grove."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Wei Cangyue is determined to fight to the death.
"Guard--"
Before he could finish speaking, Wei Cangyue raised his hand to interrupt him.
You cannot die.
In any country, Spirit Master are the most important seeds of hope.
Especially considering Jiang Fan's extraordinary talent— Advanced Psychic at only 17 years old!
If they were to perish here, it would undoubtedly be a tragedy for the entire Great Xia.
Thinking of this, Wei Cangyue revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.
"I regret it. You probably don't know, but I've only ever regretted two things in my life."
"Firstly, I listened to Old Wang and led Old Bu and the others away first. If I had stayed behind to cover their retreat, Old Wang might not have died."
" Instructor Wei-- "
"Let me finish speaking first."
Wei Cangyue interrupted Jiang Fan again, "Secondly, it's you. I shouldn't have tried so hard to invite you to join our team. Given your situation, you should have followed a stronger team like Ye Qizhen, so you wouldn't be in such a dangerous place."
The more Bu Yingjun and the other two listened, the stranger it seemed. What did they mean by saying Tang Fan should be like Ye Qizhen?
Yes! They had already guessed that Jiang Fan's identity was extraordinary; he was undoubtedly a direct descendant of a powerful family.
Even so, she can't be compared to Ye Qizhen, who is Spirit Master, can she?
There's simply no comparison!
Let alone the direct descendants of a large family, even the head of a large family can't compare, right?
" Instructor Wei, although there are many monsters here, they are mostly One Star- or Two Star monsters. There are very few Three Star monsters. I think there is still a chance to escape alive," Jiang Fan said.
Upon hearing Jiang Fan's words, Wei Cangyue couldn't help but ask, "What did you discover?"
Jiang Fan nodded and recounted his discovery.
"I've been secretly investigating ever since we entered this peach grove, and I think your guess is right; we've very likely entered a separate, mysterious space."
"Oh? How did you find out?"
After asking the question, Wei Cangyue belatedly realized something, slapped his forehead, and chuckled to himself at how stupid he was.
How else could they have discovered it? Of course, it's related to Jiang Fan's ability Spirit Master.
"You just said there's a chance to escape, what exactly is the method?"
Hearing Wei Cangyue ask this question, Bu Yingjun and the other two all perked up their ears to listen.
They were also quite curious: how could Jiang Fan, a newcomer, possibly manage to get into such a special space?
Also, they didn't know if they were overthinking it, but they felt that there was something more to the conversation between Wei Cangyue and Jiang Fan.
" Instructor Wei, you must know that the spiritual energy fluctuations in this special, independent space are often different from those in the outside world," Jiang Fan said.
Wei Cangyue nodded, just like the Zhou Family Cultivation Secret Realm that Jiang Fan had entered before, which was also an independent space.
It is precisely because of the abundant spiritual energy within its space that it has become a secret realm for cultivation.
Jiang Fan continued, "When I was Zhou Family Cultivation Secret Realm before, I discovered that the spiritual energy is more concentrated in the center, while it is relatively thin at the edges, especially at the entrance, which is where it connects to the outside world, where the fluctuations in spiritual energy are quite unstable."
As he spoke, Jiang Fan pointed forward.
"It was only just now that I was able to specifically sense the location where the spiritual energy fluctuations were quite obvious."
"Okay, let's go--"
Before Wei Cangyue could finish speaking, suddenly!
The peach trees, which had previously only been swaying their branches, became even more frantic.
Even the tree roots buried in the soil broke through the ground, rapidly intertwining and entwining with the crisscrossing branches like long snakes, eventually weaving into a dense, impenetrable net in the direction Jiang Fan pointed out.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
" Tang Fan is right, that direction should be the exit."
After Wei Cangyue finished speaking, he drew his sword and rushed to the front, hacking and slashing.
With a series of "crack" sounds, broken branches flew everywhere.
It must be said that Wei Cangyue was indeed a formidable man; in no time at all, he had cut a large hole in the net woven from peach tree branches.
Led by Wei Cangyue, the group sped through the large hole.
However, they were stopped again shortly afterward.
Just as Jiang Fan was about to make a move, Wei Cangyue stopped him.
"You don't need to lift a finger; your job is to protect everyone's safety."
Jiang Fan knew that Wei Cangyue was right, and his most important task at present was to assist his teammates.
Of course, he also understood that Wei Cangyue said this because he didn't want him to reveal that he was Spirit Master too early.
It was to protect him.
Watching Wei Cangyue wreak havoc ahead, a warmth inexplicably welled up in her heart, and slowly...
In his eyes, Wei Cangyue's figure gradually grew taller and more imposing.
I don't know how long they fought, nor how long they ran.
"I can't take it anymore, I really can't."
Bu Yingjun knelt on one knee, panting heavily, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.
"I can't go on anymore, I'm going to die."
Shen Xu simply lay down on the ground, breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently.
Yi Tang was in an even worse state; he was so exhausted that he couldn't even speak.
Not to mention them, even Wei Cangyue, who was at the forefront and fought the fiercest, showed signs of exhaustion.
However, the more tired he got, the more ferocious he became, and the more exaggerated his excited expression became.
"What are you all doing? Waiting to die? Get up! Keep killing! Hope is just ahead!"
" Captain Wei, you've said that fifty-eighth time. Can't you come up with a different lie?"
