Buzz buzz!
A subtle buzzing sound came out from the depths of the dark forest. However, it made Mu Chen's expression instantly change.
Although the Black Eerie Swamp was filled with danger and a single mistake could lead to death, there was something else in the Black Eerie Swamp that would cause people's expressions to change.
It was a Low Rank Spiritual Beast called the Devouring Spirit Bee.
This Spiritual Beast was only the size of a palm and its strength had reached the level of a Spiritual Movement Stage Initial Phase. However, anyone who had entered the Black Eerie Swamp would know how terrifying it would be if they were to meet the Devouring Spirit Bee in the Black Eerie Swamp.
With the Devouring Spirit Bee's strength, they could easily crush it if they were to meet a single Devouring Spirit Bee. However, it was a pity that they would not move alone. Every time they moved, there would be tens of thousands of them.
They were like a black cloud that swept through the area. Any Spiritual Beast, even if it was a Middle Rank Spiritual Beast that was comparable to a Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase, would instantly turn into bones wherever they went.
In the Black Eerie Swamp, if they were to meet a Devouring Spirit Bee swarm, even a High Rank Spiritual Beast would have to temporarily retreat.
"Dad!"
Therefore, when Mu Chen heard the subtle buzzing sound, his heart immediately jumped and he hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Hurry, there's a Devouring Spirit Bee swarm!"
Once he said this, Mu Feng and the others' expressions changed. A hint of surprise flashed through their eyes. He immediately made a decision and waved his hand: "Hurry, let's leave this place!"
As his voice fell, he took the lead and rushed towards another direction of the Black Eerie Swamp. He no longer cared about fighting against Liu Qingtian and the others. If they were to be entangled by the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm, even if he could escape, the Mu Territory's men would suffer heavy casualties.
Their sudden departure caused the Liu Territory's side to be stunned for a moment. Liu Qingtian frowned and his expression immediately changed. His expression quickly became serious.
"It's a Devouring Spirit Bee swarm. Let's go!"
Liu Qingtian also shouted in a low voice. He did not hesitate to lead his men in another direction. It was obvious that they also knew how difficult it was to deal with the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm.
The two groups of people who were at daggers drawn just a moment ago were now hurriedly retreating. That kind of atmosphere instantly disappeared.
While they were hastily retreating, a seemingly endless black cloud swiftly swept out from the depths of the Dark Forest. Buzzing noises rang out, causing even the air to tremble.
Rumble.
When the black cloud swept out, the ground in an empty space suddenly trembled. A rat-like black spiritual beast hurriedly burrowed out and tried to escape.
However, the speed of the black cloud was clearly a little faster. They flew past the black spiritual beast, followed by a hurried mournful roar, which quickly dissipated.
The black cloud swept past, leaving behind a set of ghastly white bones covered in blood.
At this moment, if one looked carefully, they would be able to see that within the black cloud, there were actually countless palm-sized black bees. These bees' mouths were filled with ferocious fangs and fresh blood was still dripping down from the fangs.
The Liu Territory and the Mu Territory's people quickly retreated. However, they still underestimated the speed of the Devouring Spirit Bees. In a few short breaths, the huge black cloud spread out. Both sides had dozens of people who could not escape in time and were sucked into the black cloud. Then, miserable screams rang out.
Perhaps it was because of the fresh blood that incited the killing, the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm did not immediately retreat. Instead, they split into a black torrent and quickly rushed towards the two groups of people that were escaping.
"Dodge!"
When Mu Feng saw the black torrent rushing towards them, he hurriedly shouted.
The group immediately split into two and separated far away from each other. Then, they looked at the ferocious black torrent and gritted their teeth. They did not dare to easily pass through it.
"Little Mu!"
When Zhou Ye saw that Mu Chen was also separated from them, his face slightly changed. He wanted to forcefully pass through the black torrent formed by the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm, but he was stopped by Mu Feng.
"Don't worry. That boy isn't as weak as you think. Moreover, Old Duan and the others are following him. We should first avoid the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm. He knows where to meet up with us." Mu Feng glanced at the figure that was separated by the black torrent and said.
When Zhou Ye heard this, he hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. Although Mu Chen was still young, his performance had always made people feel at ease. Although the Black Eerie Swamp was extremely dangerous, with Mu Chen's cautiousness, there shouldn't be too many problems.
Mu Feng waved his hand and quickly brought the people behind him into the forest. They avoided the extremely ferocious Devouring Spirit Bee swarm.
"What bad luck."
On the other side of the black torrent, Mu Chen saw that they were separated and shook his head helplessly. However, it was evident that he did not dare to forcefully pass through the torrent formed by the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm. He did not hesitate and immediately fled in another direction. Right now, he must stay far away from these dangerous things.
"Young Master, be careful."
Old Duan brought a few people and followed closely behind Mu Chen. Now that they were separated, he must properly protect Mu Chen. Otherwise, if something were to happen to the latter, he wouldn't have the face to see Mu Feng.
Mu Chen nodded his head. His eyes glanced behind him and his eyes turned cold. This was because he saw a black torrent heading straight towards them.
"Hurry up!"
Mu Chen let out a low shout and dark black Spiritual Energy filled his body. He quickly pushed his speed to the extreme. If they were surrounded by the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm, then they would really die.
Duan Wei and the others also noticed the danger and quickly followed behind Mu Chen. They did not dare to say anything else.
Although their speed was not slow, the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm was faster. They could feel that the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm that was chasing them was slowly approaching them.
"Damn it!"
Duan Wei also noticed the situation and immediately cursed. He immediately gritted his teeth and turned around to stop them.
"Uncle Duan, don't be impulsive!"
However, just when Duan Wei was about to turn around, he was suddenly grabbed by Mu Chen. Then, the latter pointed and said: "They seem to have given up?"
Duan Wei was surprised. He looked over and saw that the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm had suddenly stopped their pursuit. They buzzed and circled around. Then, they quickly swept towards the northwest direction.
Mu Chen was a little astonished as he looked at this scene. Shortly after, he frowned his brows. Vaguely, he seemed to have heard a faint whistle coming from afar.
This extremely faint and peculiar whistle didn't seem to be made by the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm.
"Could it be that the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm is being controlled by someone?"
A somewhat shocking thought suddenly flashed across Mu Chen's mind. This kind of whistle did not seem to be naturally produced.
"Young master, these things have finally retreated. Let's hurry and meet up with the Domain Master and the rest."
Duan Wei sighed in relief when he saw that they had finally escaped from the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm.
When Mu Chen heard this, his eyes slightly flashed. Soon after, he softly said: "Uncle Duan, let's follow the Devouring Spirit Bee swarm and take a look."
When Duan Wei heard this, he was immediately taken aback. Soon after, he hurriedly said: "Young master, this is too dangerous!"
"It's fine. We will not go near them. We will only follow and take a look. If there are any problems, we will immediately retreat."
Mu Chen muttered to himself. If these Devouring Spirit Bee swarm were controlled by someone, could it be that there were other factions that knew about the Jiu You Sparrow?
When Duan Wei saw Mu Chen's insistence, he could only helplessly shake his head. Soon after, he gritted his teeth and said: "Alright then, we will follow and take a look. However, if there are any changes, I will immediately bring young master away."
"En, then many thanks Uncle Duan."
Mu Chen smiled. Without any hesitation, he quickly followed. When Duan Wei saw this, he hurriedly brought his men and followed closely.
The Devouring Spirit Bee swarm was extremely fast. Fortunately, Mu Chen was also carefully following from a distance. In addition, the black cloud was too conspicuous. Therefore, along the way, he did not lose track of them.
As he followed closely, Mu Chen's expression became increasingly bewildered. That was because the extremely faint flute sound was becoming clearer and clearer.
"Young master, those Devouring Spirit Bees have stopped!" Duan Wei nervously looked into the distance and suddenly said in a low voice.
When Mu Chen heard this, he also lifted his gaze. He saw a small basin in front of him. In the basin, there was a small black hill. On the hill, there was a strange black tree. That black tree was densely packed with Devouring Spirit Bees.
The somewhat peculiar flute sound seemed to be coming from here. However, that sound was too faint. If one did not carefully listen, it would be impossible to detect it.
Mu Chen's gaze carefully swept across the area. However, he did not detect the existence of even half a figure. This caused him to be somewhat puzzled. Could it be that he had judged wrongly?
Mu Chen's eyebrows were tightly knitted together. His gaze then shifted towards the black tree. His gaze slowly moved upwards. Finally, when his gaze swept across the top of the tree, his pupils slightly shrank.
There, he saw a faintly discernible gray figure.
Was there really someone here?
