C343 large number of skeletons (1/2)

This tree was three meters tall and one meter thick. Although it had a large body, its movement speed was not as fast as the wind.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu had lost him, but they did not give up, it was not easy to find such a mystical tree, how could they let it go so easily.

”He escaped in this direction. Keep chasing!” Fang Chen said in a low voice.

Following that, he followed Xiahou Wu in a flash and chased after him once again.

After roughly two hours, Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu finally stopped in their tracks. The two of them were panting from exhaustion, the tree was still nowhere to be seen, but Fang Chen had a feeling that they were headed in the direction in which the tree had escaped.

”This damn tree is way too fast, isn't it?” Xiahou Wu said while gasping for breath.

Fang Chen squinted his eyes, his face filled with helplessness. He had already made the decision that when he had time, he would practice a movement technique, otherwise, he would not have the slightest advantage in speed.

”Xiahou, I feel that it's nearby.” Fang Chen slightly said.

”But we can't find it? Or should we continue to pursue him? ” Xiahou Wu asked.

”I have an idea.” Fang Chen's eyes lit up as he whispered.

Under Xiahou Wu's attentive gaze, Fang Chen quickly found a demon beast. Without saying a word, he immediately exterminated the demon beast, and then, he placed the demon beast's corpse on the empty ground.

At this time, a large hole had been opened up in the demon beast's corpse by Fang Chen, and blood kept flowing out.

Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu walked to a stone far away and sat down.

”Let it take the bait?” Xiahou Wu asked.

”I don't know if it'll work, but let's give it a try.” Fang Chen said.

However, what made Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu speechless was that the demonic beast had already lost all its blood and the old tree did not appear. This made Fang Chen suspect that the old tree had already escaped.

However, he could faintly feel a special aura in the air. He had felt this aura from the old tree before.

”Is it gone?” Xiahou Wu looked at the corpses in the distance and asked.

”Maybe it doesn't like the blood of demon beasts.” Fang Chen muttered to himself.

Just as Fang Chen's voice fell, the Star-Hidden Sword was immediately taken out. After that, it slashed and a sword scar appeared on the palm of his hand.

Fang Chen dripped his blood on the stone. Seeing that, Xiahou Wu followed Fang Chen's instructions and dripped his own blood on the stone.

Because Xiahou Wu had absorbed the blood essence of the Huangquan Sect Protector before, his blood had changed color now. Normal people would get a bright red color, but Xiahou Wu's blood would actually get a black one.

Seeing Xiahou Wu's blood, Fang Chen instantly felt a bloodthirsty killing intent. He couldn't help but turn and glance at Xiahou Wu.

”I'm fine, I can control it.” Xiahou Wu nodded and said.

Fang Chen did not speak further. After doing all this, he followed Xiahou Wu to a distance and sat cross-legged, waiting for the hook on the old tree.

Time slowly passed, but there was not the slightest movement from the blood on the stone pillar. This made Fang Chen wonder if the old tree had left long ago.

After about an hour, in a forest beside a rock, an old tree suddenly swayed.

Soon after, it seemed to be struggling with itself. Finally, it made a decision. It carefully moved closer to the rock.

The old tree clearly knew that Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu were luring it over, but facing the fresh blood, it had no way of resisting.

After persevering for an hour, he was finally unable to hold it in and wanted to secretly absorb the blood.

The old tree had only just started moving, Fang Chen already noticed it, but he maintained his composure, afraid that he would alert the others.

Although Fang Chen's soul was only at the Red Rank middle stage, his soul had once reached the middle stage of the Orange, and was forcefully suppressed to the early stage of the Red Rank. It could be said that the soul of some of the current warriors, could not compare to Fang Chen's soul at all.

When Fang Chen noticed the old tree's movements, his face revealed a trace of a strange smile.

The old tree was afraid of scaring Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu, it did not dare move too quickly. It took a full minute for the old tree to get close to the boulder.

When the old tree neared the stone pillar, a branch suddenly fell from the old tree and rested on the stone pillar.

Hiss, hiss, hiss …

The old tree happily absorbed Fang Chen's blood. In the blink of an eye, all of the blood was absorbed by the old tree.

After absorbing Fang Chen's blood, the old tree felt exceptionally comfortable. It even gave Fang Chen a glance.

The next step was to absorb Xiahou Wu's blood, and when the old tree's leaves came in contact with Xiahou Wu's blood, it suddenly let out a miserable cry.

Hearing this, Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu moved at the same time, immediately jumping onto the tree, and appeared in front of the old tree.

At this moment, the branches on the old tree had become scorched, as if they had been burned by fire.

The old tree's branches and leaves were scorched, obviously burnt by Xiahou Wu's blood. Seeing this scene, Fang Chen turned his head and looked at Xiahou Wu, as if he had thought of something.

”It hurts.”

Its body swayed, and retracted the branches and leaves of the tree. It wanted to escape, but it was surrounded and killed by Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu.

The old tree suddenly said a few words, causing Xiahou Wu and Fang Chen to be surprised, could it be that the old tree had really Awakened? Why did she speak human language?
