The forest shrouded in darkness was so dark that it was difficult to see even one's fingers.
Only the flames on the torches danced joyfully in the darkness like will-o'-the-wisps.
A Zhang family disciple held a torch and carefully searched the forest.
Behind him, there were many Zhang family disciples holding torches like him and searching everywhere.
Suddenly, his vision dimmed, and then lit up again.
The flame on the torch in his hand swayed violently, as if being blown by a gust of wind, swaying the fiery red figure violently.
He rubbed his eyes with his hands, turned around, and asked the disciple of the Zhang family who was also holding a torch right behind him: "Why did I feel like something floated past my eyes just now?"
"I seem to have seen it too.
It seemed like a black shadow flying past my eyes."
The Zhang family disciple behind him nodded and said with deep sympathy.
At this moment, another black shadow passed before their eyes, and the flames on the torch were shaking even more fiercely than before, as if they would be extinguished at any time.
The flame on the torch struggled for a long time, and finally recovered, and the flame crackled and burned toward the sky.
The two of them looked at each other and shouted at the same time: "Someone has passed by, go and notify Zhang Jiaoxi."
Before the two people could turn around, they heard Zhang Chao's voice coming from behind them, "Okay, okay, these two tree shadows will scare you like this."
"That's not right.
If it was a tree shadow, how could it move on its own?
Moreover, the torch in my hand was almost extinguished."
The Zhang family disciple who was the first to notice the black shadow passing by in front of his eyes expressed his doubts.
"There is wind.
The wind blows the tree crowns, which turn into black shadows under the firelight.
Think about it, when the black shadows pass by, is there a gust of wind blowing in front of your face."
Zhang Chao explained casually. , "Don't think about those useless things, continue the search, don't let any corner go, we can't let the murderer escape from under our noses."
"Yes."
Several Zhang family disciples nearby responded in unison.
The Zhang family disciple who first raised the question opened his mouth to continue asking, but was stopped by another Zhang family disciple beside him, "Stop talking, Zhang Jiaoxi is a Xiantian realm warrior, and he didn't notice it.
Are you the only one who is guilty?"
The seventh-level martial artist is even more powerful than Zhang Jiaoxi.”
Hearing what the Zhang family disciple next to him said, he nodded and felt that the other party was right, so he simply stopped asking questions and continued to search around for Heisha's whereabouts while holding a torch.
But none of them noticed that Zhang Chao was standing beside the big tree in a daze, staring at the direction where the black shadow finally disappeared, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
Several times he couldn't help but want to lead people to catch up.
Then he thought of the cause of Zhang Hong's death.
He shook his head helplessly, sighed softly, and led the Zhang family disciples around him to search in another direction.
Gu Tian took a lot of risks before he mustered up the courage to fly past the Zhang family's search team.
His heart was already in his throat, ready to be chased and intercepted by the Zhang family at any time.
But he never expected that the Zhang family not only did not send anyone to chase him, but instead gradually searched in the opposite direction.
After rushing out from the direction of the Zhang family, he understood that he had left the encirclement of the five major families in Yaowang Valley.
As long as he got rid of Qin Longwu, who was following closely behind him, he would be out of danger.
Thinking of Qin Longwu, he felt a secret hatred in his heart.
He finally used two peaches to attract Qin Longwu's attention, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Qin Longwu soon and chased him.
He tried in several other directions, but was still unable to get rid of Qin Longwu.
Finally, in desperation, he took the risk and chose to rush out from the direction of the Zhang family, because only this direction had relatively fewer people searching, and there were more big trees blocking the view.
Some.
Looking at the vines that covered the trunk of the big tree in front of me, and the many roots of different thicknesses that emerged from the ground, even the trunk of the big tree was much thicker than the one in the forest I just passed. .
Gu Tian immediately realized that the direction he was heading now was getting closer and closer to the depths of the Youlin Mountains.
The countless dead branches and leaves piled up under the feet were mixed together before the soil.

When you step on them, one foot will be deep and the other will be shallow, and the speed will also be slowed down a lot.
Fortunately, Qin Longwu also faced the same problem, his speed also slowed down, and he still couldn't catch up with him for a while.
Every time you lift your feet from the dead branches and leaves, you will be accompanied by a rotten smell.
This place is like a forbidden land.
No one has been there for countless years.
The ground is covered with a thick layer of soft soil.
Gu Tian didn't dare to relax at all, and still ran away with all his strength, but even so, he couldn't get rid of Qin Longwu's tail.
Finally, he came to a deep pool that exuded cold air and stopped.
He knew in his heart that if he continued to escape, he would only use up the last of his inner energy.
When the inner energy was exhausted, he would become fish meat on the chopping board.
Not long after he stopped, Qin Longwu caught up with him and stopped near the edge of the deep pool, with dust on his face.
Along the way, he either accompanied Gu Tian through tree holes or waded into mud pits.
He looked a little embarrassed. .
"It seems that we have all been deceived by you.
I'm afraid you were also the kid who deliberately lost to the winner in the ring."
Qin Longwu just stopped and said in a gloomy voice, "As expected of a gangster, he's hidden deep enough. , you have been with me for so long, and I have never noticed that you are a Xiantian realm warrior."
Gu Tian looked at Qin Longwu calmly and said nothing, seizing every moment to restore the energy consumed in his body.
Before Qin Longwu caught up with him, he discovered that the vitality of heaven and earth at the edge of the deep pool was particularly strong, otherwise he would not have stopped at the edge of the deep pool.
While absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, he was thinking that if he could practice by the pond for a long time, it wouldn't take long before he would have enough inner strength to break through the barrier of the innate realm.
It's a pity that Qin Longwu will not give him this opportunity.
Qin Longwu pointed with his hand and said, "Give you a chance.
As long as you hand over the Ice Spirit Fruit and tell me how you found the Ice Spirit Fruit, I can consider leaving a whole body for you."
Gu Tian didn't pay attention to him at first, but for some reason, the vitality of the surrounding world suddenly froze, and he could no longer absorb the vitality of the surrounding world, so he had to give up temporarily and focus on Qin Longwu instead.
"Second Family Master Qin, the Ice Spirit Fruit has been given to you a long time ago, why are you chasing me so hard?"
When he said this, he suddenly thought of something, covered his mouth with his hand, pointed at Qin Longwu with the other hand, and said in surprise , "It's not like you didn't catch any of them, right?"
"Fart, don't think you can fool me with two peaches, hand over the Ice Spirit Fruit quickly."
Qin Longwu folded his arms and let out a cold snort.
"Peach Qin Er Family Master, you don't think I gave you two peaches, do you?"
Gu Tian slapped himself on the forehead and said with regret, "Blame me, blame me, I didn't make it clear, the Ice Spirit Fruit is actually the same as the Medicine King The peaches growing in the valley are quite similar, so you really don’t think they are two peaches, do you?”
Could it be that the two peaches I crushed and threw away were really Ice Spirit Fruit?
039 Looking at Gu Tian's face with pain, Qin Longwu secretly thought in his heart.
In the past few hundred years, the Ice Spirit Fruit has never appeared, and the Qin family only became one of the five major families in Yaowang Valley nearly a hundred years ago.
They only know the name of the Ice Spirit Fruit, and there are no detailed records.
Therefore, he had never seen the Ice Spirit Fruit, and he was not sure whether the peach he crushed was the legendary Ice Spirit Fruit
