In the depths of the Desolate Ancient Forest.
A black Grizzly Bear roared like thunder as it rampaged through the forest, tearing a young elk in its mouth. The smell of blood splattered everywhere, and its entire ferocious face was covered in blood. Its scarlet eyes flickered with a hint of madness, as if it had already lost itself in the blood.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a black shadow, like a sharp arrow, pierced through the dense forest, pierced through the ancient trees, and emitted a howling sound in the ancient forest. Before the Grizzly Bear could react, half of its body had already fallen into a huge mouth, and a body as thick as a bucket, covered with black scales the size of an adult man's palm, had already wrapped around it.
This was a huge black python that was seven or eight feet long. The python's head was ferocious, and its body was covered with green spots the size of a dragon's eye. With a cracking sound, the black Grizzly Bear was immediately cut in half, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
The Grizzly Bear's blood immediately splattered all over the ground. The huge python's head towered high, and it suddenly swallowed the ten feet long Grizzly Bear into its stomach. The delicious taste of blood made the huge python hum in satisfaction, and its originally taut scales relaxed. The green spots dissipated, and the snake's eyes slightly narrowed.
Xiu!
At this moment, a black light pierced through the air, and made a series of sounds as it cut through the air, emitting a strong evil aura. Almost in the instant that the huge python had no time to react, it fiercely collided with its huge body, and was sent flying backwards, smashing the huge ancient trees behind it into powder.
Roar!
The huge python roared after suffering a heavy blow, and its huge body turned into a huge black whip. It continuously lashed out, and the huge trees that were as thick as a person's arms were cut in half. The huge pain made it go crazy, and the surrounding ancient trees trembled, and were soon dyed red with blood.
The trees within a radius of several dozen feet were all turned into powder, and the huge body of the python lifted several layers of soil.
Boom!
In the next moment, a black shadow attacked, and under the gray robe, a pale, withered hand pressed down on the ferocious snake's head. Suddenly, a black light flashed, and the originally rolling body of the python suddenly trembled, and its seven or eight feet long body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. Under the palm-sized black scales, blood surged, and gathered on the withered hand of the snake, and in a moment, only a withered snakeskin was left on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from behind the black shadow, and a similarly black-robed figure appeared, bringing dozens of people with him.
"Reporting to Evil Fierce Thousand-man Commander, this subordinate has already searched the entire Desolate Ancient Forest within a radius of ten li. Only a human centurion rank martial artist saw that he couldn't escape and committed suicide. That human Thousand-man Commander was nowhere to be found!"
"Did he escape?"
After hearing his subordinate's report, the eyes of the black shadow, who had just hunted a fierce beast and enjoyed its flesh and blood aura, shone with a fierce light. "Expand the search area. If we can't find him within five miles, then thirty, fifty, fifty. That human warrior has already been injured by the chief commander, so he can't get far. According to the bloodstains, he fled in this direction. Go tell the Phantasm chiliarch to search in this direction from the mountain range on the right!"
"Chiliarch, he's just an ordinary chiliarch. Over the years, you've killed at least eighty small fries like him, if not a hundred. Why go through so much trouble? This subordinate can see that he's already seriously injured, and there's no way he can get out of this Desolate Ancient Forest. After all, the endless fierce beasts here are more than enough to take his life!"
His subordinate, who was leading dozens of soldiers, couldn't help but complain aloud. Not to mention the fact that his squad of soldiers had already been searching for the wounded human chiliarch for three days and three nights in this sunless Desolate Ancient Forest, not to mention the human chiliarch, they hadn't even found a single trace of the human chiliarch.
At this moment, they were already exhausted. Every single one of them looked like a beggar. Not only did they have to search for the human chiliarch, but they also had to guard against the endless fierce beasts. If they accidentally trespassed into the territory of some powerful fierce beasts, they would have to pay a heavy price. During the past three days, their squad had already lost several soldiers who had accidentally trespassed into the territory of powerful fierce beasts, and ended up becoming food for the fierce beasts.
"Hmph!
This time, our Evil Spirit Race and the other races have gathered together to besiege that Gu Yuan Tribe. There are many implications involved, so the more low-key we are, the less attention we attract. This human wanderer has been following behind our race's Combat Masters for the past few days, and he even snuck into the stronghold. He seemed to be gathering information, so the commander made a move just now. Unexpectedly, this person is so slippery that he fled into the vast wilderness as soon as he was discovered. Therefore, we must capture him and see what kind of person he is that dares to gather information about our race, so as to prevent any mistakes in this operation. "
"My lord, could it be that this human wanderer knows about our race's plan?"
"That's not possible. For this plan, our Evil Spirit Race chose to march in the remote wilderness, and we even took a long detour before turning back. This gave others the impression that we were going to escape into the depths of the Giant Rock Valley. This is also the reason why we originally planned to meet up with the Blood Race's soldiers for a few days longer!"
After absorbing the giant python's flesh and blood essence, the Evil Spirit Tribe's Thousand-man Commander's weariness completely disappeared. His eyes shone with an inexplicable light. "This human Blood Refining realm cultivator was already heavily injured, but this flesh and blood essence is a great supplement. If this Thousand-man Commander obtains it, breaking through a small realm will not be a problem!"
"Let's go, I want to see how far a heavily injured person can escape in the depths of the Mang Forest. I hope he doesn't end up as feces in the stomachs of fierce beasts, haha!"
With a burst of wild laughter, dozens of people once again disappeared into the depths of the Mang Forest under the lead of the Evil Spirit chiliarch.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the land became quiet, and only a mess was left. The soil that had been overturned by the python's rolling had even seeped out clear spring water, but it was quickly dyed red by the blood left behind.
After a few breaths, a strange sound came from the pile of dead wood under a huge boulder, and a figure slowly appeared. It was Tie Wen.
At this moment, he was holding a Battle Weapon in his hand, and his battle robe was tattered. There was even a cut on his waist with a sharp blade, and dark red dried blood stuck to the corner. His face was pale, but he did not look as heavily injured as the Evil Spirit chiliarch had said.
Pu!
Tie Wen suddenly spat out a gray pill. Seeing that it had already turned white, he could not help but murmur, "Looks like this Breath Concealing Pill won't last much longer. These Evil Spirit remnants really deserve to die, but I'm afraid they don't know that the Blood Clan member has already become a ghost under my Ancient Yuan Battle Weapon!"
The Breath Concealing Pill was a miraculous pill that Xiao Chen had specially refined to hide the tribe's scouts when they went out to gather information. Each pill could be used for a day, and when held in one's mouth, it could minimize the aura one emitted. This was also the reason why Tie Wen had been able to escape the encirclement of these Evil Spirit soldiers after being heavily injured.
However, this Restraining Breath Pill also had some flaws. After taking it, the martial artist couldn't make the slightest movement, otherwise it would lose its effect. This was also the reason why Tie Wen was hiding behind the boulder under the branches and leaves of the dead tree.
Tie Wen carefully placed the grey Aura Restraining Pill into a leather bag. He then took out another porcelain bottle from his bosom. Without even looking at it, he poured the healing pill into his mouth. As the pill entered his stomach, Tie Wen's originally pale face showed a trace of rosy color.
"The next time we meet, it will be the time when all of you die in the great wilderness!"
Looking in the direction that the Evil Spirit chiliarch had disappeared, Tie Wen's eyes revealed an undisguised killing intent. In the next moment, he found a direction and disappeared into the depths of the ancient forest. He wanted to rush back and inform Xiao Chen of his findings.
