Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Meng Zhao acted very indifferently, only looking around from time to time, his purple-black pupils flickering.

There is no doubt that this place is weird, and what Wu Chen said does make sense, and he even stated his difficulties.

After he started entering the forest, he released his master's energy to drive away all kinds of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, making their journey smooth.

However, as he went deeper into the guardian forest, he keenly felt that the deeper he went, the more obvious an invisible and mysterious force became. It not only blocked his energy and deterred him, but also threatened the ferocious beasts hiding in the forest. , poisonous insects, producing various effects.

This forest seems to have its own will, and this will can manipulate the majestic power of heaven and earth to exert an influence on objects within the range, resulting in increased defenses of ferocious beasts and abnormal vitality of poisonous snakes.

Of course he could burst out his energy and deter those sources of danger, but as Wu Chen said, if he really did that, it would be difficult for him to hide it from Xu Tingyun and the others, and he had no intention of exposing his identity so early.

Furthermore, these people had already taken advantage of them all along the way, and it was good that they were in danger now. You can't say that you have to go deep into Lishou Mountain and ask him to be a nanny and protect these people secretly, right?

Therefore, Meng Zhao gave up his threat, and dangers came one after another, arousing everyone's suspicion.

Wu Chen's words also caused Xu Tingyun, Min Tao, and Peng Haibing to think a little more. If it was really man-made control to disperse the danger and hide it from them, who could this person be?

Did he achieve this simply by relying on martial arts, or was there some secret method or treasure?

Based on Xu Tingyun's understanding of each other, none of them have such means, so the only ones are Gan Mingfeng and his nominal junior brother Meng Zhao.

Gan Mingfeng was injured, and no one thought he had such ability. The only option left was Meng Zhao.

In this way, the four people in Tingyun were all thinking that if this person was really from the Seven Star Tower and had an extraordinary family background, he might have some kind of treasure that could drive away vicious beasts and poisonous insects.

As for Meng Zhao's martial arts mastery, he had reached a mysterious and unpredictable state, hiding it from them, deterring ferocious beasts, and dispelling dangers. This was no longer something he could achieve in the innate state.

And Meng Zhao looks very tender-faced and looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. Who would think that such a young man can become a master in martial arts?

In addition, Meng Zhao was carrying the Tianxie War Box on his back, and it looked like there was a treasure inside, which further strengthened their suspicion.

Some people who have ideas have even secretly thought that if nothing is found in the plowing mountain this time, it may be possible to plan the treasure in this kid's hands so that he will not return empty-handed.

Of course, on the surface, everyone behaves very normally, without anything inappropriate, let alone revealing their intentions.

Gan Mingfeng did see some problems, but he didn't care at all. He didn't know how powerful Meng Zhao was, but based on his peerless master's martial arts, Xu Tingyun and others' plan was destined to be impossible to realize.

As each ferocious beast fell to the ground and countless poisonous insects were crushed, everyone fought through thorns and finally arrived in front of the Fire Cloud Tree that Gan Mingfeng said. They verified that what Gan Mingfeng said was true and that this road was not wrong. .

The trunk of this fire cloud tree is extremely thick, about the size of three people hugging each other. The bark is dark red, and the crown of the tree extends to all sides, like a huge mushroom, covering an area of ​​tens of feet. There is no grass growing around it, and there is no vegetation. .

The leaves of this fire cloud tree emit streaks of crimson light at night, swaying like clouds in the sky, and are extremely dazzling and colorful in the darkness. No wonder it is called the fire cloud tree by Gan Mingfeng.

"This is the Fire Cloud Tree. It is indeed extraordinary. But is there really no danger in it?"

Everyone was strong-willed and not bothered by mere visions. Min Tao pointed to the essence of the problem.

This guardian forest is full of dangers, and although the appearance of such an extraordinary tree is not surprising, it is impossible to say that there is no danger in it.

"Brother Gan, how did you pick the Fire Cloud Fruit from the Fire Cloud Tree that day?

Could it be that you have seen this strange tree in the Seven Star Tower? What are its characteristics? Are there no guarding beasts nearby? "

Although Xu Tingyun was not aware of the danger contained in the Fire Cloud Tree, he would not act rashly. He decisively asked the experienced Gan Mingfeng in an attempt to gain experience from his actions and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Gan Mingfeng was a little embarrassed, touched his nose and said,

"Well, I was seriously injured that day and fled away with the red gourd I got from Lishou Mountain. When I came near the Fire Cloud Tree, I was almost exhausted, thirsty and hungry, and I was exhausted.

At that time, I saw that many fruits growing on the trees had fallen on the ground, so I picked up some on the spot, wiped them clean and ate them, and then I regained my energy and vitality.

At the same time, I was also worried that there was an unknown danger in this tree, so I left this place without testing it.

As for this tree, I have never seen it in the classics in Qixing Tower, and I don’t know its origin. I just saw that its leaves resemble fire clouds, so I named it Fire Cloud Tree.

To be honest, apart from knowing that this fruit is not poisonous and beneficial to the human body, I don’t know much more than you do. "

To put it bluntly, it was by chance that Gan Mingfeng ate the fruit of the Fire Cloud Tree. It was also because of eating the fruit that he had the opportunity to leave the guardian forest.

But there is a saying that Gan Mingfeng did not know that the fruit was not poisonous at first. He made a helpless choice when he was at the end of his rope. After the situation improved a little, he left here immediately to avoid unexpected crises.

What if he was greedy and wanted to get closer and peep into the Fire Cloud Tree, maybe something would happen.

"Well, what should we do? Do you want to go take a look?"

Wu Chen was a little eager to give it a try and entered the guardian forest. He only encountered danger and saw no benefits. Seeing it this time, no matter how much the benefits were, it was always a comfort and he didn't want to leave empty-handed.

Min Tao didn't care, he just wanted to break through the master. However, after all, the Fire Cloud Tree was just a tree. The fruits it produced had some effects, but for a strong man like him, they were dispensable, so he didn't care. .

Xu Tingyun was surprisingly steady at this time, shaking his head and saying,

"No, our main goal is to get into the mountains as soon as possible and seize opportunities in the mountains, so that the gang won't get the first step.

If you delay here, you may lose more than you gain.

Furthermore, this tree has extraordinary properties, and there may be great danger hidden within it.

We are far away and have no intersection with the other party's territory, so we are relatively safe. If we get close, we are likely to be attacked.

For safety reasons, please avoid this tree. "

Gan Mingfeng nodded. He thought the same way. In the mountains and forests, the most fearful thing is curiosity. The more curious you are, although there is a certain chance of encountering adventures, you are more likely to end up in the mountains and forests.

Curiosity killed the cat is not just an empty statement.
