Chapter 52 Quickly Transmigrate! Conquer the Handsome Demon King (58)
Faint sounds came from all directions, like countless tiny insects gnawing on dead leaves, or like someone whispering in the dark.
I tried to identify the source of the sounds, but I found that they were everywhere and yet seemed to not exist at all.
"It's a vine!" Liang Xu shouted in a low voice and pulled me aside suddenly.
Almost at the same time, countless dark green vines emerged from the ground and tree trunks and swept towards us like poisonous snakes.
The surface of these vines is covered with thorns, which reflect a cold light in the dim light, which is chilling.
We swung our weapons and cut the attacking vines, but they seemed endless and kept coming.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of plant juice, which was nauseating.
"Damn it!" Liang Xu cursed, and the demonic energy in his hands surged, shattering large pieces of vines.
I relied on my keen spiritual perception to avoid the attacks of the vines hidden in the dark.
The trees around seemed to come alive, twisting their branches and making teeth-grinding friction sounds.
"Feng Ziang, be careful!" Liang Xu pulled me away again, and a thick vine flew across my cheek, leaving a burning pain.
Just then, there was a noisy sound of footsteps and shouting in the distance.
"They are over there! Chase them!" It was the voice of Elder Xuanfeng!
Immediately afterwards, the Red Demon Marshal's roar also echoed throughout the forest: "Catch them, don't let them run away!"
My heart sank. It seemed that we were surrounded. With enemies from both sides, the situation was even more critical.
Liang Xu's face also turned gloomy, and he whispered: "It seems that we have to think of another way..."
The vines became tighter and tighter, almost blocking all escape routes.
I felt suffocated and a feeling of despair spread.
Liang Xu's eyes fell on my face, and a hint of determination flashed across them.
He suddenly protected me behind him and said in a deep voice: "Feng Ziang, hold on to me!"
Those dark green vines were like poisonous snakes waiting for an opportunity to devour us completely.
I could feel the coldness of the spikes on their surface, as if they were about to pierce my skin in the next second.
The feeling of despair surged like a tide, and I grasped the corner of Liang Xu's clothes tightly, and my fingertips turned white.
At this moment, a clear bell sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by a breeze blowing by.
Those vines that were originally showing their fangs and claws were instantly frozen in place as if they were cast under a spell.
I looked up in surprise and saw the Wind Bell Fairy floating in the air, her clothes fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending from the sky.
The bell in her hand emitted a soft light, enveloping everything around it.
"Wind Bell Fairy?" I murmured in a low voice, looking at her in disbelief.
Shouldn't she be hunting us down together with Elder Xuanfeng and the others?
"Are you all right?" The clear voice of the Wind Bell Fairy came into my ears, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
She waved her hand, and an invisible barrier appeared around us, blocking all the vines out.
"Fairy Fengling, what are you doing?" Elder Xuanfeng's voice came from a distance with anger.
He was obviously very puzzled by the Wind Chime Fairy's behavior.
"Elder Xuanfeng, I just don't want to see unnecessary casualties." The voice of the Wind Bell Fairy was still gentle, but with a hint of firmness, "I believe they are not evil people. Perhaps, we can try another way to solve the problem."
As soon as she finished her words, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the woods and attacked Liang Xu with a murderous aura.
It's the Shadow Assassin!
Liang Xu was about to counterattack, but he found a faster black shadow blocking him.
It's the dark demon!
The curved knife in his hand flashed with a cold light and collided with the shadow assassin's dagger, making a harsh metal friction sound.
"Shadow Assassin, you dare to steal my prey!" The Dark Demon's voice was cold and fierce. He fought with the Shadow Assassin without mercy.
I stared at the scene in amazement. This was all so unexpected.
The enemies who were supposed to unite against each other actually started killing each other.
"Let's go!" Liang Xu shouted in a low voice, grabbed me and ran quickly with me into the depths of the forest.
Those vines are under the control of the Wind Chime Fairy and cannot chase us for the time being.
The internal struggle between the Dark Demon and the Shadow Assassin also bought us precious time.
We ran all the way and finally got rid of the pursuers.
I stopped panting and turned to look behind me, only to see the Wind Chime Fairy standing not far away with a calm and gentle look in her eyes.
The Wind Chime Fairy stood there, her clothes fluttering in the wind, like a white lotus swaying in a storm.
I looked at her and a warm feeling surged in my chest.
In this forest full of dangers, her appearance is like a beacon, illuminating the way ahead for us.
"Thank you for your help, fairy." I said sincerely, my voice a little hoarse due to the previous running around.
Liang Xu also nodded slightly, with a rare gentleness in his eyes.
He never showed weakness easily, but at this moment, he expressed silent gratitude to the Wind Bell Fairy.
"No need to thank me. I just want to stop this senseless killing." The Wind Bell Fairy said softly. Her voice was as sweet as a mountain spring, but it carried a hint of imperceptible fatigue.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy into my body.
A strange feeling came over me. I felt a faint wave of spiritual power coming from deep in the forest. It was completely different from the violent demonic energy and spiritual energy around it. It was calm and peaceful, like a quiet harbor in the center of a storm.
I opened my eyes and looked at Liang Xu and the Wind Bell Fairy, "Come with me, I know a place where we can hide temporarily."
The three of us shuttled through the dense forest. The light around us became dimmer and dimmer, and the air became more and more humid. The fishy smell of soil mixed with the smell of rotten leaves was nauseating.
I followed the spiritual power fluctuations closely. It was like a guiding light, leading us deep into the forest.
Finally, we came to a hidden cave. The entrance was covered by dense vines. If it weren't for my keen spiritual perception, I would not have been able to detect its existence at all.
The cave was very quiet, with only the sound of falling water echoing in the empty space.
I closed my eyes again, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was no danger around.
"It's safe here. We can rest here for now."
The Wind Bell Fairy looked at me,"
I smiled and said nothing.
Liang Xu leaned against the wall of the cave, closed his eyes and rested.
After a brief silence, Fairy Fengling spoke, her voice low and solemn, "The immortal world and the demon world are mobilizing troops to conduct a carpet search of this forest. We don't have much time left."
My heart tightened and a chill rose from the soles of my feet.
Liang Xu also opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp and cold.
At this moment, a series of small noises came from the cave entrance...
The sound from the cave entrance was getting closer and closer, as if something was approaching.
I immediately became alert, gripped the sword tightly, and signaled Liang Xu and the Wind Bell Fairy to be ready.
The vines swayed, and a dark shadow flashed. I recognized it as the notorious Shadow Assassin in the world of immortal cultivation.
He smiled grimly, the dagger in his hand flashing coldly.
"I found you."
Almost at the same time, a creepy growl came from deep in the cave, and a powerful demonic aura instantly spread.
Dark demon!
Smiling sinisterly, he stepped out from the shadows, blocking our only escape route.
"It's like searching for something you never found before, but it's easy to find."
Attacked from both sides, we were trapped in the cave.
The Wind Chime Fairy's face was pale, but she still stood firmly beside us.
Liang Xu's body was filled with demonic energy and murderous aura.
