Gu Shi took every step very cautiously. The closer he got to the location indicated by the jade plate, the more anxious he became. After all, there was a high probability that there was a trap waiting for him at the end.

As it turned out, his guess was correct.

Gu Shi hid behind a bush and looked forward quietly through the gaps in the grass. He could see that there was a very thick tree growing at the place he was looking for.

At first glance, the trunk of this tree is a strangely flat oval shape, with the thickest part estimated to be nearly two meters in diameter. However, a closer look reveals that this is not its true appearance.

On the left trunk of this tree, there is a huge beehive growing. It spreads from the bottom of the tree all the way to the upper trunk, making the tree much thicker.

The exterior of the beehive is the same gray-black color as the tree, and has a bumpy camouflage similar to bark. If you don't look carefully, it's easy to confuse the two.

If Gu Shi had not watched with his own eyes several black bees, each as thick as an adult's thumb, open an entrance on the surface and crawl in, he might have continued to wonder for a long time what this black solid object was.

Gu Shi, who had been stung by a wasp when he was a child, couldn't help but tremble. Such a big black wasp, and the sting on its tail was poisonous. He couldn't even imagine how painful it would be to be stung by this thing.

If possible, Gu Shi didn't want to provoke them. This beehive was too big, and there must be thousands of black bees living in it. When they swarmed over, they could definitely bury him.

But there was no way, the location of the formation was shown to be near this tree, and he had no way to hide.

Gu Shi took a deep breath. It seemed that he had to find a way to deal with this beehive and the black bees inside.

He first put on several layers of protection for himself, and then aimed his staff at the hive.

Because he was not sure about the strength range of these black bees, Gu Shi simply used all his strength without holding back at all.

Things like this require speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. Hesitation will only hurt yourself in the end.

A terrifying cold current broke out in the dense forest, and the beehive, which was the main target, was instantly covered with a layer of white frost. The bees inside naturally rioted, but before they could see the enemy clearly, they were frozen to death on the spot.

Gu Shi stood there, looking at the beehive a little nervously, and then he hit it several times in a row.

After about ten minutes, he confirmed that there was really no movement in the hive, and then he prepared to move forward.

It’s a pity that Gu Shi’s luck seemed to be not very good today. He had just taken two steps when he heard a very clear sound of wings vibrating behind him.

Gu Shi turned around immediately, and sure enough, not far away, a swarm of black bees like a dark cloud was flying towards him aggressively.

The moment Gu Shi's eyes met the swarm of bees, both sides launched an attack at the same time.

Gu Shi didn't expect that the stingers of these black bees actually had some penetrating effect. He saw with his own eyes that his elemental shield only blocked a part of the black stingers, and a small part of the stingers directly pierced it.

Fortunately, Gu Shi was well prepared. Although this small amount of bee stingers pierced his elemental shield, they were blocked by the defensive items he was carrying.

The bee colony didn't gain any advantage from Gu Shi. The small tornado mixed with cold air directly killed most of them.

Gu Shi had no intention of letting go of this group of defeated bees. Before the bee colony launched the next round of attack, he was the first to kill them all.

After dealing with these troubles, Gu Shi took quick action.

It's easy to imagine that in such a large beehive, there must be more than just this group of black bees moving around outside, and he doesn't want to stay in the same place and fight a series of battles again and again.

It’s better to get the things as soon as possible.

Gu Shi originally thought that Chi Xiang would do other things with the location of the formation, but who knew that he didn't. He easily found the formation under the tree just now.

Looking at the formation, Gu Shi hesitated whether to step on it, but then he thought that no matter what Chi Xiang's plan was, he would have to go through this in the end.

Gu Shixin made up his mind and stood on the formation.

The owner of this formation did not hide his malicious intent at all. As soon as he opened his eyes, Gu Shi found himself in endless darkness. No matter how he shouted, there was no response from his surroundings.

Gu Shi was trapped in the darkness.

The dark and silent environment is most likely to evoke the fear lurking in people's hearts. When he opened his eyes and closed them, Gu Shi seemed to see many terrifying monsters emerging from the darkness in the distance.

But Gu Shi knew that it was all his own illusion. The Mingxin Leaf hanging on his chest was working tirelessly, and in the blink of an eye, the monsters had disappeared.

All the experiences so far have told Gu Shi that Senior Chi Xiang will definitely not let him take the third treasure as easily as the previous two did.

In such darkness, time seems to have lost its meaning.

Gu Shi simply closed his eyes. It seemed that Chi Xiang would not come to see him for a while, so he might as well take this opportunity to rest.

"Huh, have you met Xie yet? He's actually willing to give you something."

I don’t know how long it had passed, but finally a change happened here. A sarcastic voice sounded from the void, and Gu Shi immediately opened his eyes after hearing it.

This should be Chi Xiang's voice.

Xie Yuanchuan once told Gu Shi that Chi Xiang could be considered his old rival. The two had become enemies because of a treasure when they were young. After a long time, not only did they fail to resolve their past grudges, but their resentment towards each other only grew deeper and deeper.

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best may not be your friend, but your opponent. Chi Xiang and Xie Yuanchuan have been enemies for so many years and are very familiar with each other's methods.

Seeing that Gu Shi was completely immune to the illusion he created, Chi Xiang naturally guessed that Xie Yuanchuan had already given his treasure to Gu Shi.

Gu Shi considered his words carefully and said, "Senior Chi Xiang..."

"Shut up!"

As soon as Gu Shi finished speaking, he was stopped by Chi Xiang.

Gu Shi immediately shut up obediently. The situation was stronger than the person. If he angered Chi Xiang in this space, he would be the only one who would be in trouble in the end.

There was silence again.

When Chi Xiang spoke again, he suddenly changed his attitude and said in a tone of almsgiving: "You want this, right? Then I'll give it to you. I just don't know if you have the life to use it!"

Hearing what he said, Gu Shi immediately became alert.

A ray of light lit up from the darkness and fell straight into Gu Shi's arms like a meteor. Before he could react, he was hit hard.
