Chapter 91: Be patient

Wen Qing waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. What you picked is definitely better than what we picked. Even if the worst happens, the four of us will cover you. What are you afraid of?"

He Cen scratched his head, actually he didn't know which one to choose. There were so many forks in the road, and they all seemed the same to him.

After hesitating for a while, he pointed to one at random and said, "I don't know. Don't blame me if it's wrong~"

"I don't blame you, let's go."

The group entered the fork pointed out by He Cen and walked forward for more than a hundred meters. Nothing strange happened, and no monsters appeared. Bei Qi laughed and said, "We He He are still lucky."

"Just point your finger and you'll find the road to prosperity."

He Cen quickly reached out to cover his mouth, "Don't be so mean, you've only been gone for a while, don't say anything nonsense, what if you attract those guys back?"

Bei Qi had no choice but to shut up and agreed with a smile, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

This mine was ridiculously large. After walking out of one fork in the road, there was another fork in the road. Several people looked at each other. Wen Qing and Jun Chao had already frowned slightly.

He Cen looked left and right, then pointed at himself, "Do you want me to choose again?"

Bei Qi smiled and said, "Well, you can choose."

He Cen also felt that there were too many forks in the road. He looked at them for a long time before he raised his hand and pointed to one.

The other people didn't react. They just went wherever He Cen pointed. This route was still not dangerous. After coming out, there was another fork in the road.

Lord Demon already had a hint of impatience on his face, and the other three also felt that it was rather boring to continue walking through the mine like this. He Cen didn't dare to say anything, as he felt that the patience of the masters around him had run out.

He silently shrank back, thinking that he would not need him to show the way this time. However, just as he took a step back, countless branches suddenly emerged from behind him from nowhere. They were extremely fast, and their cultivation and strength were higher than his. With his current Jindan stage cultivation, he could not react at all and was directly pulled away.

"Master!"

"Wen Qing! Jun Chao, help me!"

This terrible change happened so suddenly that even though the four men reacted, they were still one step slower than the sneak attacker. Jun Chao's Chaoye Sword chased them at high speed, but he only cut off some branches that were left here to disturb them.

He Cen's figure had been pulled back far away.

This happened very quickly, and He Cen was trying to save himself, but he didn't know what the branch was, it was very resilient, the more he struggled, the tighter it bound him, and it continued to absorb the spiritual energy in He Cen's body.

"What the hell? Get off me! Don't mess with me! I'm telling you, I'm not someone you can mess with!"

"Just wait until my good brother catches up and kills you!"

"You shameless sneak dog, do you dare to confront my master head-on? Mmmmm...!"

Before he could finish cursing, the branch came up again, this time blocking his mouth and nose, preventing him from making any sound.

Jun Chao's eyes flickered, "He He!"

He Cen was unable to speak at this moment and could only respond with “Mmmmm” in a whisper.

The branch moved very quickly, unlike ordinary vines. The branch that bound He Cen was thin and long, with great toughness and high hardness. Bei Qi frowned, "It's a willow branch."

"There may be a willow tree under the mine that has become a spirit."

This is the willow tree's territory. Even if the four of them have the power to crush the little sword spirit here, it would be very difficult if they couldn't find the direction in the mine and couldn't figure out where the little sword spirit was taken.

Jun Chao made a prompt decision and said, "Separate and chase them."

The three men did not refute at this moment. Saving Hecen was more important, and they had no time to fight each other.

After all, they are the pinnacle of combat power in the world of cultivation. Four cultivators in the fusion stage can’t defeat a willow tree spirit?

If he wasn't afraid that the mine would collapse and hurt the little sword spirit, Bo Lou's hot temper would have blown up the whole place.

All four of them deployed their weapons, Bo Lou and Jun Chao's swords cleared the way, Wen Qing's silk thread followed closely and penetrated every pore, Bei Qi's fan cleared away obstacles, with a clear division of labor. Although these four were not eager to cooperate, they still had some tacit understanding of fighting left over from years of sparring and fought against each other, so they cooperated well.

The willow tree hit the target with every strike at first, swept He Cen away, and escaped very quickly, but it did not expect that the little sword spirit was the enemy of the four big guys.

At this moment, in order to chase He Cen, they attacked fiercely, regardless of anything, with a strong sense of conviction. It was simply that the mine was so big that it felt like it was not enough for these four people to exert their strength.

He Cen's eyes lit up as he looked at him. He was indeed a target for capture. He was so damn handsome.

The willow tree spirit was afraid that it could not withstand the four fusion-stage cultivators including Jun Chao. Although the force binding He Cen did not loosen, the speed of escaping with him was a little slower.

Because it had to distract itself from fighting the attacks of those people, it had no time to absorb the spiritual power from He Cen. The little sword spirit waited for a moment and accumulated some strength.

He Cen was not going to sit there and wait to be slaughtered.

He is a natural sword spirit, and everything in the world can be transformed into a sword.

After he gained strength, he grabbed the willow sticks that bound him and turned them into wooden swords. With one strike, he broke the branches that were entangled with him and rolled on the ground for several times.

This gap was enough for Jun Chao and others to catch up with him, hold him in their arms, and complete the counterattack.

Bo Lou was furious, "You dare to touch my disciple, you are seeking death!"

Plants are basically of wood attribute. Bo Lou got so angry that he released three kinds of strange fire in succession and chased after it. No matter how fast the willow spirit retreated, it couldn't keep up with the speed of the fire spreading.

The mines here have so many branches, all of which were created by the free growth of the willow spirit. If it burns like this, the entire mine will be affected, and the heat wave will sweep in all at once.

Jun Chao flew out holding He Cen in his arms. The four of them had no time to search for treasure below, so they had to catch the willow tree spirit first.

Wen Qing blew open the roof, and the quicksand above fell down and soon accumulated into a thick layer inside the mine.

It was already late at night in the West Desert when he came out. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Jun Chao quickly looked at He Cen in his arms and asked, "He He, where are you hurt?"

He Cen looked aggrieved and stretched out his slender, white hand. "It's okay! You damn willow tree spirit, you just think I'm easy to bully. I just fell and got hurt, and my hand is scratched."

"It looks like your chin is broken too. Take a look. Is there any cut?"

Jun Chao frowned and quickly used healing magic to heal him, but unfortunately He Cen had a special physique and his body had not been repaired, so it remained in tatters.

Every time I get hurt, recovery is very slow.

He was delicate, with fair skin, and the willow branches were so tight that they left many red marks on his body.

Jun Chao rolled up his sleeves, and the red marks all over his arms were shocking.

He blew on He Cen twice with concern, "Does it hurt?"

The little sword spirit pouted, "Of course it hurts. It also sucked my spiritual power and covered my mouth. It's so annoying."

Jun Chao's face darkened, "Be good, Master will avenge you later."

As he spoke, he applied some medicine on him. He was afraid that he would have to wait until the wounds on his body were healed before he could show them to him. Jun Chao touched He Cen's little face and softened his tone, "Be patient."
