Chapter 149: Encountering Danger in the Forest
Ye Fei's eyes flickered slightly when she heard what Mu Jingshen said.
He looks quite young, yet he talks about fighting and killing all the time, as if this kind of life has been going on for a long time.
Ye Fei smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Mu Jingshen said no more and turned to walk forward.
Ye Fei silently followed behind Mu Jingshen. What exactly had this young man experienced?
*
The two walked one after the other through the dense forest.
Ye Fei discovered that Mu Jingshen, like Li, was also a quiet person who didn't like to talk and whose cold expression seemed to keep people at a distance.
They barely communicated at all during the journey.
Ye Fei wasn't someone who couldn't stand being alone, but she still needed to get some information out of Mu Jingshen.
So she quickened her pace to catch up with Mu Jingshen and asked, "Senior, why did you intercept and kill the demons?"
Mu Jingshen glanced at the girl, and after a few seconds of silence, he said coldly, "The demon race is a cold-blooded and cruel race. Not only humans, but other races also want to kill them."
Ye Fei raised an eyebrow and asked, "So you usually patrol Guiyuan City at night?"
"No." Mu Jingshen shook his head. "I was planning to return to the sect tonight, but I smelled blood on my way back."
“I followed the scent of blood, only to find a masked man ahead.” Mu Jingshen’s clear voice carried a hint of murderous intent. “Although he was wearing a mask, I could clearly see the color of his eyes.”
Ye Fei thought to herself, "Is Li wearing a mask to hide her appearance?"
"And you? How did you end up being chased here by the demons?" Mu Jingshen asked her.
Ye Fei casually made up an excuse: "I came out to Guiyuan City tonight to buy some snacks, and unfortunately I ran into that demon you mentioned."
Mu Jingshen was somewhat surprised by what she said: "When you bumped into him, did you see him wearing a mask?"
Ye Fei, with a straight face, spouted nonsense: "No."
Mu Jingshen didn't ask any more questions, but Ye Fei saw that his expression was normal, so she knew that he believed her.
Thinking of this, Ye Fei couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Mu Jingshen, I didn't mean to deceive you.
Regardless of whether Li is a demon or not, he is now my subordinate, and I cannot abandon him.
Fifteen minutes later, the two felt the fog around them getting thicker and thicker, and a very unpleasant smell permeated the air, like the smell of blood, but also mixed with a bit of decay.
Mu Jingshen stopped, placed one hand on the sword at his waist, and scanned his surroundings with sharp eyes.
Ye Fei also felt that something was strange about the area. She slowly focused her mind and activated her wood spirit root. The wood-type spiritual energy flowed silently into the air and adhered to the vegetation in the surrounding area.
She is now a level six spiritual master, and the range of plants she can manipulate has reached ten meters. As long as all the plants within this range are imbued with her spiritual energy, she can use the plants to perceive all directions.
"Hiss..."
A sound was approaching the two of them. Without hesitation, Mu Jingshen drew his sword, and a chilling aura immediately enveloped him, making Ye Fei shiver.
She glanced at Mu Jingshen's sword, its material peculiar, seemingly ice yet not quite: "Such a cold sword..."
"Find a chance to run forward later," Mu Jingshen said coldly. "Once the other party engages with me, I may not be able to focus on protecting you."
Ye Fei nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."
As soon as the words left his mouth, several crimson thorns pierced through the thick fog, heading straight for the two of them—
