AWB Chapter 541
Chapter 541
In an instant, with a "bang," the entire tree, along with its stump, vanished into thin air.
Ling Yanyan had been observing the battle from the sidelines, and upon seeing this scene, a profound meaning flashed in his eyes.
He deliberately didn't go up to save him, but instead winked at Yan Chixia.
He gestured for Ling Yan to hold off the tree demon while it was enraged and focused on him, so that Ling Yan could launch a sneak attack.
Yan Chixia nodded quietly to him, clearly understanding what he meant.
Ling Yanyan leaped into the air, grabbed a branch that had lost its sentience, and wrapped it around himself as a disguise.
His goal was very clear: to get behind the tree demon.
As expected, because of the tree's aura covering him, the tree demon didn't notice his movements. Ling Yan Yan didn't hold back at all, gathering a flame around his body and throwing it down hard at the tree demon the next moment.
"What?" When the intense heat hit, the tree spirit finally realized something was wrong. He tried to dodge but it was too late. He was forced into the ground by Ling Yanyan's flames.
Ling Yanyan and Yan Chixia pressed their advantage, using various methods to relentlessly attack the tree demon.
However, the soil was the tree demon's defense. Wearing this outer layer, the tree demon kept fleeing in the ground. Finally, it used a feint attack, which actually made it escape in one direction.
Fortunately, Ling Yan reacted immediately and pointed in that direction: "The tree demon ran that way, Yan Chixia, let's go together, don't let him get away!"
“Alright!” Yan Chixia also shouldered his longsword and nodded.
Following his retreating figure, they arrived deep in the mountains.
Once deep in the mountains, finding the tree spirit's movements becomes much more difficult.
Ling Yanyan and Yan Chixia moved very carefully, with Ling Yanyan exploring their surroundings while reminding Yan Chixia of their surroundings.
"Be careful, the ghostly and demonic aura here is too strong. I don't know what kind of place this is. Besides the tree demon, there might be other spirits and monsters. Don't let your guard down."
Yan Chixia nodded seriously, not forgetting to remind him, "Don't just talk about me, you're the same. I don't want you to die here."
Ling Yanyan smiled, somewhat arrogantly. To die in such a godforsaken place would be a gross underestimation of him.
Since they entered, the environment in the deep mountains has suddenly become extremely terrifying.
Ghostly and demonic energy spread from somewhere, forming a thick black mist that made it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face. They were completely enveloped in this mist and could not see left or right.
Yan Chixia spoke first: "The fog is too thick, I can't see clearly."
“Me too,” Ling Yanyan echoed.
"What should we do? That tree spirit disappeared as soon as it darted here, and we don't know where it is right now. Can you sense where it is?"
Having no other option, Yan Chixia could only ask Ling Yanyan for help.
But he spread his hands in response, looking helpless.
"No, the fog here is too thick. Unless we clear it, we won't be able to see anything around us." He shouted back, also to make sure that Yan Chixia was beside him and hadn't been kidnapped by anything strange.
"Be careful. The tree demon may have deliberately lured us here. It knows this place well and might be lying in ambush. Make a sound now and then so I know what you're doing." Ling Yanyan was always cautious and immediately realized this, reminding Yan Chixia as soon as possible.
Yan Chixia's expression turned grim for a moment upon hearing this possibility.
But he had to admit that it was indeed possible. He nodded seriously: "You're right. You must speak up too. Let's help each other out."
He knew his own abilities very well; he couldn't defeat the tree demon by himself.
