Then, after a series of "crackling" sounds, the beautiful girl at the roots of the tree disappeared, and was replaced by a little girl wearing adult clothes.

Not too young, probably around ten years old.

Yang Lan'er also restrained all of her aura, used the earring space to cover it up, and immediately turned into an uncultivated mortal.

Yang Lan'er didn't have children's clothes. It wasn't that she couldn't have them, but she didn't know what the clothes of the indigenous people looked like. So she might as well disguise herself as a little girl who was saved by a kind monk. It was normal to be given adult clothes! After the disguise, Yang Lan'er followed the traces of humans and walked forward. She soon found the road, wiped the dirt on her face, and walked carefully along the road.

The gap between the strongest and the weakest is really huge. Yang Lan'er felt that her vigilance was recovering, which was a good thing! After walking for a while, she felt someone coming from behind, so she quietly hid in the bushes by the roadside and decided to see what was going on first.

It was obvious that a group of people were approaching, nine in total, six men and three women.

Judging from their walking formation and their communication with each other, they should be a long-term fixed combination that understands and trusts each other.

Yang Lan'er squinted her eyes and found that these people's equipment were very ordinary. They had storage bags on their waists, weapons in their hands, and their clothes did not look like those of monks or Western angels.

Generally speaking, someone with the strength of Eight Wings, or at the level of Fusion, would not be in such a miserable state. Apart from anything else, the storage bag must have been upgraded, and the weapon would not be so low-level.

Looking at them, they all look more like aboriginals! But, are the aboriginals so powerful?

Yang Lan'er only vaguely felt that two of them had left their bodies, and the others seemed to be even higher.

It seems that the intrusion of non-indigenous people has indeed completely raised the strength of the indigenous people.

Just as she was planning to wait for this group of people to leave before taking action, Yang Lan'er suddenly discovered that she felt the existence of the Way of Heaven.

In other words, this ancient Xu world and the Eastern cultivation world share the same heavenly law.

She was quite frightened by the strange thing that was teleported before, and it was not until she thought about the problem just now that she realized this, which meant that she could finally advance.

Yang Lan'er decided to understand the situation first and then find a place to advance. The late Nascent Soul stage seemed too weak in this environment, and she had no idea what was going on.

"who?"

An archer passing by Yang Lan'er had the most acute senses among the five senses. When he sensed something was wrong, he shouted to warn his companions, and at the same time, he quickly bent his bow and drew his arrow, attacking Yang Lan'er.

Probably because he was anxious, the archer only used normal shooting, which was the fastest method.

Yang Lan'er was startled and sat back reflexively. The trembling arrow was stuck right between her legs, and except for the tail feather, the entire front part was deeply embedded in the soil.

Everyone was on alert and prepared to leave, but they saw Yang Lan'er's situation clearly.

"Wait..." The leader who had been walking in front spoke, interrupting the stunned moment when everyone saw Yang Lan'er.

"Hey, it's a child?" A tall woman said in surprise. However, she did not approach him directly like a saint, but kept looking at him.

It seems that this group of people are extremely vigilant. Even though she is a child, they did not let down their guard.

Although the arrow did not hit Yang Lan'er, it was stuck on her dress which had become extremely loose after shrinking. Yang Lan'er wanted to cry but had no tears. She reached out to pull out the arrow, but it did not move at all.

Of course, even if Yang Lan'er used her own strength, it would be impossible for her to remain motionless. She had been practicing body training for so long that her body training level had surpassed the Nascent Soul stage.

However, she couldn't move now. If a mortal girl who had not practiced cultivation could pull out the arrow of the Spirit Severing Period, Yang Lan'er estimated that she would be humanely destroyed by this group of people at the first moment.

So, it is not so easy to pretend to be an ordinary person when you have the ability. Yang Lan'er was a little hurt and didn't know whether her plan was right or wrong.

Thinking of this, Yang Lan'er's conflicted expression seemed extremely real. In the eyes of this group of people, she looked aggrieved and didn't know whether to cry or not, and also had a kind of fear after being frightened.

The other person walked over first, and stayed two steps away from Yang Lan'er for a while. After making sure there was no danger, he walked over and rescued Yang Lan'er with a smile: "Little sister, are you alone?"

Little sister? Well, now she really is a little sister.

Yang Lan'er stood up, but accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell back. In the eyes of others, she looked like she was frightened and her legs were weak.

This action coincidentally made the group of people let down most of their guard. They walked up one by one and watched Yang Lan'er's "struggle" curiously.

Yang Lan'er, who was being watched for no reason, was embarrassed. Since she was not a professional, she couldn't pretend anymore: "I don't know."

"..." The group of people were a little confused. After thinking again and again, they realized that Yang Lan'er was saying that she didn't know why she was here. However, seeing Yang Lan'er's inappropriate adult clothes, everyone seemed to understand something.

Everyone realized belatedly that Yang Lan'er was just an ordinary person. Although they had many doubts in their hearts, at least they were sure that she was not dangerous.

The group of people looked at each other without asking any more questions. The leader who came over first took out a stone and put his hand on Yang Lan'er's forehead. Seeing that she did not struggle but just looked at her blankly, and the stone did not change at all, he breathed a sigh of relief and made a safe gesture to his companions.

Yang Lan'er was indeed confused. She couldn't recognize what the stones were and what they were used for. It seemed that the captain had used the stones to test something and then confirmed that they were harmless, so he let down his guard.

Seeing Yang Lan'er following the stone in his hand with confusion and curiosity, and not understanding what was going on, the captain couldn't help but laugh. He said in a low and gentle voice, "This is called the Demon-Response Stone. It is used to sense the demon tribe. There are always some demons and monsters who like to disguise themselves as humans and sneak into the city, and then inadvertently cause great losses to humans."

"..." Yang Lan'er was silent. She had also changed, but not into a demon.

It seems that in this space, the relationship between different races is also very tense! After being identified, Yang Lan'er was led away by this group of people, and even she herself was a little puzzled.

She didn't seem to explain much, but her purpose of disguise was achieved. After the team automatically imagined it, they didn't kill her as a dangerous person.

Not only that, he was kind enough to take her back to the city, but the journey was much farther than she had imagined.

Along the way, Yang Lan'er also collected some information, for example, the forest she came out of was called Jiucheng Mountains, and it was said that it was surrounded by nine big cities, hence the name.

So, no matter which direction she escaped from, she could walk out of the forest and find the city.
