Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 311 Abyss Tree Demon
Lie Feng fell into the cold deep pool. Even though he had become an immortal and had the help of the power of the compass, he still felt his whole body shaking violently when he fell, as if he had hit a hard stone wall. As soon as he floated up from the water, he heard someone calling from above, "Hu... Dong..." The figures of Jingxu and Feijian fell down, splashing water everywhere. Soon after, the two also floated up and found Lie Feng who was looking at them.

Jingxu did not say anything, nor did he intend to stop Lie Feng. He glanced around, and in the dim light he only saw the corpses of wild animals on the shore and plants emitting faint fluorescence. Looking up, the sky and earth above his head had become the size of a full moon, which showed how deep it was.

"Hu...Boom..." Qin Moyao fell again and landed in the water. Her cultivation was weaker than the other three. When she entered the water, she almost fainted. When she floated up, she coughed violently and continuously.

Fei Jian saw Qin Moyao following them and didn't say anything. They had no right to criticize others now. They all came here voluntarily.

Lie Feng asked: "Is there really no exit here?"

Jingxu sneered and said, "That depends on whether you have the magical power to climb up."

Lie Feng said, "You think you can fool me by saying this? If you don't know the exit, how dare you jump down? Don't worry, if I can't get out, you can't get out either."

Feijian landed on the shore and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. If we knew we had found the exit, we would definitely take you away with us. Now the most urgent task is to find the cliff first."

Lie Feng smiled and said, "I like what you said, Immortal. I also want to find that bastard. Let's go!" Not long after several people left the deep pool, several more people fell down one after another. Longquan and others were covered with bruises and almost lost their lives.

Bixia flapped her phoenix wings and slowly landed on the water. Seeing that so many people did not listen to her advice, it would be useless to blame them at this time, not to mention that she was a person who did not like to talk much.

Xuelian felt jealous when she saw Bixia's phoenix wings. This seemed to be a woman's nature, but she couldn't show it. She asked Bixia, "Is there any way out?" Everyone had the same question. The first thing they thought of when they came down was how to leave, which showed how much they regretted it.

Bixia said, "I don't know. Let's look for it first!" Then she chased in the direction where Feijian left. When she came down, she saw the figures of those people.

……

There are strange tall plants glowing with fluorescence all around, making the abyss not too dark. However, these strange plants either have thick mucus and sharp poisonous thorns, or have tentacles that can move quickly. Some of them also emit fragrance, but the fragrance will make people sleepy if you smell it for a long time.

The deeper they went, the taller, more colorful and more poisonous the plants became. Along the way, they had no idea how many tentacles they had cut off and how many risks they had avoided.

"Chichi..." A shrill sound came from not far away. Everyone looked over and saw a tall plant rising up. It looked like a jellyfish with densely packed eyes, which made people's scalps tingle. Countless thick and bright roots supported its huge crown, which was moving rapidly, raising roots dozens of feet long and whistling to the ground, making a deafening "bang bang" sound. It was obviously chasing the prey that broke into its territory.

"It's a tree monster!" someone exclaimed. They didn't expect that there was such a terrible monster living in the abyss. At this time, everyone found the figures of Lie Feng and others, who were waving their weapons to deal with the huge monster.

When the tree demon saw another group of people coming, it roared wildly, "Teng Teng..." Behind the crowd, several tree roots broke through the ground and rolled towards them.

Everyone raised their weapons to resist, 'crack...' the thick tree roots were cut off, and glowing liquid splashed everywhere. Before they could catch their breath, there were more tree roots whistling behind and above their heads.

This tree demon seemed to be tireless and insensitive to pain. Facing so many people at the same time, it refused to let any of them go, and countless tree roots continuously smashed into the crowd.

Lie Feng dodged and cursed at the same time, and raised the starlight to blast towards the huge crown. The crown did not dodge either, and when it saw the starlight transformed from true energy, it actually opened its big mouths and swallowed it up.

Even with Feijian's extremely sharp sword energy, the crown did not show any fear. Within a few breaths, everyone was at a loss and could only retreat. Not only did they have to resist the tree monster's attacks, they also had to resist the suffocating stench.

Fei Jian saw that this was no way out, so he shouted, "Split up and run away!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately understood Feijian's meaning and scattered in all directions. "Huh..." When the huge monster saw everyone scattering, it suddenly fell down. Everyone only felt the ground rumbling and shaking, as if countless earth dragons were running through the ground.

"Tengteng..." Tree roots like a fence rose up in front of them and rolled towards them like a tsunami. No one dared to delay and used their unique skills to cut them off. They broke out of the encirclement and did not dare to stop, but ran away at full speed.

The tree monster's roots must have an end, and it is difficult to extend beyond a few hundred feet. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after escaping this range. Looking back, they saw the tree monster chasing in the direction Lie Feng fled, and Lie Feng's angry curses could be heard from time to time.

Everyone knew that the tree demon chased Liefeng because Liefeng had the highest cultivation and the most internal energy, not because Liefeng scolded it. Liefeng could only flee, and his magic had no effect on the tree demon, just like food. After the tree demon went far away, everyone returned and saw that the place where the tree demon originally lived was actually a huge cave, emitting a hint of coolness.

Seeing that Feijian, Jingxu and Qin Moyao had disappeared again, Bixia looked at the cave and said, "They should have gone inside, let's go in too." After saying that, she entered the cave. The others also had no idea what to do and followed her.

There are still luminous plants in the cave, and it is brighter than outside the cave. Not far away, they saw a fork in the road. When everyone was hesitating, Xuelian found a mark left on the stone wall, and it was just carved, marking the direction. It must have been left by someone who went in to guide them.

The group followed the instructions and entered the intersection on the left. Not long after walking, they found some cut plants, proving that someone must have passed by ahead on this road. They continued walking, and the terrain began to slope downward. The deeper they went, the more forks there were in the road, but at each fork there was always a sign indicating the direction.

After about half an hour, there was still no end in sight. Some people began to worry. If there was a dead end ahead, they would have to turn back. There were many forks in the cave, all like this one. If they searched one by one, they might starve to death in the cave before they found the exit. However, they had no other choice but to bite the bullet and follow Bixia, hoping that she could find the exit.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of weapons colliding in front of them, as if a fight was taking place in front of them. Several people hurriedly quickened their pace. Soon after, they found a vast space in front of them. In the center of the space, Linyazi was fighting with a masked man in black. The man in black was none other than Shishui who was suspected by Jingxu. At this time, it could be seen that the man had all white hair, which was obviously different from Li Zhong. The moves he used were basically the same as Linyazi's. This meant that the person who assassinated Yunmeng and killed the two disciples of Songshan was most likely him.

Seeing the situation, Bixia, Xuelian and others drew their weapons and rushed forward to help Linyazi. The masked man in black saw that many people were attacking him and found it difficult to resist. He broke through the siege and turned to rush towards a cave.

When Linyazi saw so many people coming, he was not happy but angry and said, "Hey! What are you doing here?" Without waiting for everyone to reply, he chased after the masked man.

Bixia followed closely behind and said, "It's hard to explain in a few words. I'll tell you in detail when it's convenient."

The masked man was so fast that Linyazi and Bixia chased him for a long distance, but in the end they could no longer find him.

Linyazi stopped at the fork in the road and said to Bixia, "I suspect this man is Zhishui, and he should be the one who murdered fellow apprentice Yunmeng."

Bixia whispered a few words to Linyazi, who looked at Bixia and asked excitedly, "Is this true?" He almost cried out, "That's great, we are saved now!" "The master has done us Huangshan a favor, it seems we have wronged him!"

Bixia said: "The reason why he didn't reveal his identity is that he wanted to find out who the traitor was. He suspected that it was..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Xuelian coming up with everyone from behind and said coldly, "Is there anything you can't say in front of everyone? Do you still need to whisper?"

Linyazi said bluntly: "This is a serious matter, of course the fewer people who know about it the better."

Xuelian said: "Really? Is there anything more important than our lives?"

Lin Yazi said, "I have warned you all before, but you insisted on coming down to take the risk. Can you blame me for this?"

After hearing what Linyazi said, everyone lost their temper. Bai Haotian stepped forward and said, "We are worried about your safety, so we risked our lives to help you. We have no ill intentions. Besides, Master Jingxu and Master Feijian have also come down. Don't you know that?"

Linyazi asked in surprise: "What did you say? They actually came down as well. I asked Jingxu to do this..."

Bixia said, "They saw Lie Feng coming down and followed him because they were worried. We found Brother Linya because we saw the marks they left behind. How come Brother Linya didn't see them just now?"

Linyazi pondered for a long while before saying, "I didn't see them, so it might be..." Suddenly his face changed drastically, "Oh no, could it be them!" Then he turned around and ran back. Everyone didn't know what Linyazi was going to do, so they could only follow him closely, fearing that they would be left behind. Now Linyazi was their hope to get out of the abyss.

When they rushed back to the place where they had just fought, they soon found the marks left on the stone wall again. They walked along the marks. Linyazi became more and more frightened and angry as he walked. He kept cursing, "He is worse than a beast. I must skin him alive!"

No one knew who he was scolding or who he wanted to kill, but every time he saw a mark, he would go up and smash it with a punch. In the end, he didn't even look for the marks, and when he came to a fork in the road, he didn't hesitate and just chose a direction.
