C1291 Safe and Sound
"We'll do whatever you say."
Ye Feii started to work on the division of labor with Ling Tian and the others. Before walking a certain distance, they would tie cloth strips to the trees. Only by this way could they determine how far they would have to walk and whether they could stay where they were.
Although it was daytime here, they were very scared in their hearts. After knowing this was the Lost Fruit Forest, their hearts were pounding.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take you out."
Seeing the slight change in the expressions of Ling Yu and Hu Xiaoyao, Liu Tie quickly comforted them.
As they walked, they tied up strips of cloth and soon reached a place far away. As they turned around, they could clearly see white strips of cloth. It was obvious that they were not walking in place.
"Ahh …"
At this moment, Hu Xiaoyao suddenly screamed and then fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Feii hurried forward, only to find that Hu Xiaoyao had fallen into a pit, and there were a lot of skulls in the pit. Ye Feii hurried forward, only to find that Hu Xiaoyao had fallen into a pit, and a lot of skulls in the pit.
From the looks of these bones, they seemed to have been dead for a long time.
"What's all this fuss about!"
When Ling Yu heard Hu Xiaoyao's voice, he immediately ran over. When he saw the scene in the pit, it gave him goosebumps all over his body. This was because they had never seen a dead person's bones in a place like this before.
Although they were martial artists, they would still panic in the face of such a strange situation.
"Looks like this really is the Lost Fruit Forest, but don't be afraid, believe that we will definitely be able to leave. Since the old man said that as long as we pass through this forest, we would be able to see the Southern Sky Peak, I believe that what he said shouldn't be wrong."
Ling Yu and Hu Xiaoyao nodded helplessly. It was not realistic to say retreat now, so they could only face the difficulties and continue forward.
"Brother Ye, then let's continue." Seeing Ye Feii's resolute look, Ling Yu believed that he was not wrong.
Just when the three of them continued to walk forward, they suddenly heard a rustling sound around them. Ye Feii suddenly stopped and started to listen.
"Brother Ye, what's wrong? Do you feel anything? " Hu Xiaoyao noticed the slight change in Ye Feii's expression and quickly went up and asked.
"I think I heard something, but I'm not sure."
"There might be the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves in the forest. It should be fine, let's continue walking."
"Mm. Alright."
Ye Feii did not think too much and walked forward. However, at this moment, not only did it shock Ye Feii, it also shocked Ling Yu and Hu Xiaoyao.
"The fruit tree has moved?"
After the fruit tree moved a few times, Hu Xiaoyao was so scared that he quickly hugged Ling Yu and closed his eyes, not daring to take another look at the scene in front of him.
"This place is so scary." Hu Xiaoyao couldn't help but speak up.
"No wonder I heard the rustling sounds earlier. It seems like these fruit trees are indeed doing something weird, but why would the seemingly unremarkable fruit trees move?" Could it be that they have already become spirits? "
Ye Feii was also guessing. As for the truth of the matter, no one knew.
"Brother Ye, what should we do next? From what I see, these moving fruit trees seem to have intelligence. They wouldn't think we were their enemy, right?"
"That's really hard to say."
"Strange, how come those fruit trees were fine before? And after we walked here, they seemed to have trapped us here, not allowing us to move forward. Don't tell me …"
"If my guess is not wrong, this forest is protecting the Southern Sky Peak!"
Just as they were in a difficult situation, an aged voice suddenly sounded out from within the forest.
"Who are you? Why did you barge into my land, is it courting death? " The person speaking was not a human, but a fruit tree that had long since turned into a spirit. This was the place where this fruit tree guarded.
Ye Feii seemed to have heard something and quickly said with a smile, "Sorry, we didn't mean to break into this fruit forest, it's just that we accidentally got lost, so we accidentally broke into this place."
When the old man heard this, he did not have any reaction. Instead, he observed the expressions in their eyes.
Seeing that his voice was gone, Hu Xiaoyao asked Ye Feii in a low voice, "Brother Ye, why is he not saying anything?"
Ye Feii knew that since it was an adult fruit tree, it had its own intelligence and judgment.
Ye Feii felt that since he had already told it about getting lost, he would let it give him some pointers as long as he could get out of here.
"Old man, we are lost. Can you instruct us to leave?"
The old man lightly coughed, "Young people, you really shouldn't come here. Since you want to leave, you should think of a way yourself. I am powerless, but you shouldn't think of anything crooked, otherwise, I won't let you go."
The old man's meaning was very clear. As long as Ye Feii and the others didn't mess around and quietly left, it would not ask anymore. Otherwise, as the guardian of this forest, it would definitely not forgive them.
"Old man, don't worry. We just want to leave this place. We have no other intentions."
Ye Feii had already made everything clear and would not touch the slightest bit of this place to avoid making it unhappy. Thus, they could not waste their time here, thus, they would naturally do as the old man said.
As soon as Ye Feii finished his words, the surrounding fruit trees started moving again. This time, it wasn't them who were making a ruckus, but to give Ye Feii a way out.
When Ye Feii saw this, he quickly winked at Ling Yu and the others and left.
Even though he did not see any Southern Sky Peak, he had already walked out of the strange fruit forest.
"Brother Ye, we've walked out of the fruit forest, but we still haven't seen any Southern Sky Peak, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, I believe we will meet sooner or later. I believe you guys must be hungry too. Let's go eat something first."
Last night, the few of them had only eaten some fruits in the fruit forest. Their stomachs still lacked any oil and water, so it was about time for them to change their food.
The moment Hu Xiaoyao heard that it was time to eat, his stomach started to growl.
Soon, they arrived at a small town. This town didn't look that big, but it looked very prosperous and powerful.
At this moment, there was a group of people sitting in the restaurant. They were talking about something.
"Big brother, I never thought that Hua Shang would be so useless. He can't even defeat the Laughing Heaven." The one who spoke was Zhang Ho. Last night, he went to Heavenly Star Sect with Hua Shang to find the Laughing Heaven to fight, but Hua Shang lost to the Laughing Heaven. How shameful was this to the Green Dragon Gang.
"Hua Shang actually couldn't beat Hua Shang? That's too outrageous. Previously, I saw Hua Shang fight with Leng Tian, but Leng Tian did not defeat Hua Shang. How did this happen?"
Sect Master Zhang's face was also filled with surprise. If he doesn't get the Illusory Color Gemstone from the Laughing Heaven as soon as possible, then there wouldn't be any chance for him to do so in the future.
"We went after Hua Shang to ask him, but you heard him say that the world is endlessly changing, what kind of words are these, they're simply too infuriating. Now that he doesn't know where he went, do you think we need his help to go to the Illusory Color Gemstone?"
Zhang Ho was unwilling, he thought, this Hua Shang might actually be a person without a real name. If I find him to help me deal with Heavenly Star Sect, wouldn't that be throwing the people from Green Dragon Gang away?
It wasn't that the Green Dragon Gang users were all useless, it was just that they couldn't fight head on against each other right now.
"So far, we only know a little about Hua Shang, and his martial arts are indeed quite good. Perhaps this is just a coincidence."
"That won't do, I definitely won't agree anymore, Hua Shang is useless, we might as well find a warrior stronger than Hua Shang to help us obtain the Illusory Color Gemstone."2
Zhang Ho only said so on the surface. Finding an expert was easier said than done.
"What do we do then, we can't let the people from the Heavenly Star Sect occupy the Illusory Color Gemstone. As long as the Illusory Color Gemstone is still in the Heavenly Star Sect, then the entire martial arts world might be decided by him."
Sect Master Zhang was really nervous. For the sake of obtaining the Illusory Color Gemstone, he hadn't closed his eyes for a long time. He only wanted to dominate the Martial Forest and make everyone in the Martial Forest listen to his commands.
At this moment, Ye Feii and the other two people were already sitting at a table not far away. Ye Feii also heard their conversation clearly.
"Sigh, why fight over a fake Illusory Color Gemstone!"
Ye Feii's face was filled with helplessness as he felt that these people were all ignorant people who did not know the secrets of the Illusory Color Gemstone. Even if they managed to get their hands on the Illusory Color Gemstone, they might not be able to do anything.
"Brother Ye, the people on the table are talking about Illusory Color Gemstone. Could it be that they know about the Illusory Color Gemstone too?" Hu Xiaoyao interrupted and asked.
"No, they are not talking about Southern Sky Peak's Illusory Color Gemstone, but rather that fake Illusory Color Gemstone. Right now, none of them know the truth about the Illusory Color Gemstone."
Since it's like this, then Ye Feii's movements will be much easier. At least, at that time, no one will fight with him for the Illusory Color Gemstone. As long as we can obtain the Illusory Color Gemstone, then we can openly use it and use its secrets to the extreme.
"Brother Ye, since it's like this, we have to move as soon as possible. This way, there won't be too many troubles at night. Perhaps, there might be people who will know where the real Illusory Color Gemstone is soon."
It was not that Ling Tian did not care. He just wanted to know where the Southern Sky Peak was and whether it was based on these locals. As long as he could rely on these people to learn a few things.
