The best tracking is from the front, not from behind.
He activated his Shadow Teleportation perception ability and memorized the shapes of several tree ghosts' shadows.
Even without looking back, you can monitor their movements in real time.
Following them all the way, they left the auction venue and finally arrived at an inn.
Xia Tianqiong, posing as a ghost painter, opened a room at this inn. He used his Shadow Teleportation perception ability to search for the shadows of the Tree Ghost Clan.
They found that more than a dozen of them were crammed into one room, sitting in a circle.
And they stayed there for more than two hours, I don’t know what they were talking about.
Some individual tree spirits went out or returned during this period, but the total number was always more than ten.
"How can we even begin? There are just too many of them!"
Xia Tianqiong originally planned to wait until they were alone before ambushing the female peach tree ghost whose head was covered with peach blossoms.
During the auction, it kept driving up the price against itself.
It must be the leader of this group of tree monsters, and the Monster Transformation Pool should also be on it.
Xia Tianqiong had inquired about the Peach Tree Demon from Manager Hu, learning about its tricks and level. As long as there was a surprise attack, taking it down wouldn't be a problem.
But now that more than a dozen tree monsters are gathered in one room, there is no chance to make a move.
"Looks like we'll have to wait until tonight to make our move. I don't believe you'll all be sleeping in the same room tonight."
Xia Tianqiong thought for a moment and decided to leave first and come back in the evening.
His stunt double is still wandering around the surrounding streets! He's been there for over two hours.
Because the control distance cannot exceed one kilometer, the stand-in can only stay nearby.
Before leaving the inn, Xia Tianqiong released the real painting ghost and sent it to eat on the first floor to keep watch in case the tree ghost clan suddenly left and disappeared.
He transformed into Xiao Ba's appearance and instantly teleported away from the room.
Then they headed toward the restaurant where they had stayed the night before, and had a stand-in enter the room and lie on the bed pretending to be asleep.
He then began wandering around the island again, looking for other targets.
The original plan was to kill and rob, and then frame the young master of the Leng family.
Of course, we can't just kill one; the more the better.
During the auction, Xia Tianqiong had made a point of observing many of the strange participants in the bidding. Under the guise of chatting, he inquired about the levels and tricks of those strange beings from Manager Hu.
Seven or eight of them, either weaker or strange creatures he had heard of in his previous life, became his targets.
However, in the process of tracking the Tree Demon Clan, these strange traces were lost.
So all I could do was wander around and try my luck, bumping into whoever came along.
Anyway, the floating island isn't that big, so as long as you haven't left yet, the chances of encountering it are high.
On the other side, at the Leng family mansion.
"Father, Xia Tianqiong returned to the restaurant alone. Manager Hu is eating elsewhere. When should we make our move?"
Leng Manjin suddenly became somewhat excited.
The thought of capturing Xia Tianqiong would wash away yesterday's humiliation and possibly force him to reveal the legendary forbidden technique made it eager to capture him itself.
Leng Tianpeng remained calm, like a monk, "Don't rush, make your move after dark, otherwise it will be easy for them to see through your disguise."
...
In the inn where the Tree Spirits were staying, a Tree Spirit returned from outside.
"The Sky Island Garden has been suspended above the auction venue, with only two guards on it."
Upon hearing this, all the tree spirits in the room showed joy on their faces.
Sister Tao sneered, "The Leng family is too arrogant, they only have two guards. We'll make our move when it gets dark. Take all the fruit trees we can, and destroy the rest. We absolutely cannot leave them to outsiders. My Tree Demon Clan can't afford to lose face like that."
The spirit fruit trees on the sky island all come from a forbidden area within the territory of the Tree Demon Clan.
Many Tree Spirits are born from the Desolate Lands, which they consider the cradle of their race and will not tolerate any outsiders desecrating it.
But the Void Clan always steals fruit from the trees.
This time, they went even further, digging up hundreds of fruit trees, which angered the entire Tree Demon Clan.
So they sent a dozen or so of them to the auction, intending to steal or destroy the fruit trees.
One of the tree spirits suddenly asked, "What should we do with that human? Should we deal with him?"
Sister Tao frowned slightly. "I'll think about it."
...
A private room in a restaurant.
A strange-looking middle-aged man sat alone inside, having ordered a table full of food and drinks.
It eats in a very special way: it opens its mouth, which is bigger than a washbasin, and pours plate after plate of food directly into it.
Sometimes, my hand slips and the plate falls into my mouth.
It didn't care, crunching and chewing until it was mushy, then swallowing it all.
The table was full of more than twenty dishes, which were quickly eaten up.
"Waiter, bring the food!"
It shouted loudly at the door in a deep, rough voice.
The moment the voice faded, the door to the private room was pushed open.
The waiter came in carrying a plate of braised pork knuckle.
"Braised pork knuckle? You still have that dish? Give it to me quickly."
The stuffed ghost was a little excited. Before the waiter could put it on the table, it opened its mouth wide, indicating that it should be put in.
The waiter smiled slightly and slapped the braised pork knuckle directly onto its face.
