Chapter 1069: Vampire bats
They returned to the previous place for a discussion. This place was so strange, so, naturally, they mustn’t be careless.
“I have just seen a human face grow on that tree, and not one or two, but it was the same all around here. I am sure the whole woods is the same. Trees are made of wood. Even if they turned into fiends, they should still be afraid of fire.” Luo Fei said, staring at the tree branches that seemed dancing toward them.
Song Ming nodded.”Besides their fear of fire, since swords can cut them off, then we have nothing to be afraid of. Even if we are trapped in it, we can break those branches. In fact, if we are cautious, it should be all right. As long as we are careful, nothing will happen.”
After a moment to calm down, Feng Jiu told them, “I’ll have another try.”
She was the one who brought them in. When such a thing happened, she naturally had to find a solution. They knew that these tree spirits were afraid of swords. Were they afraid of fire? Then she had to experiment.
“It’s dark now. Forget it! We’ll go in together tomorrow at dawn.” Several of them said, worrying about what might go wrong in the dark of the night.
“It’s alright. I know the limits.” She went in alone this time, not letting them follow her, but still leaving Cloud Devouring Beast to keep watch over them.
Those few people watched Feng Jiu walk into the strange forest from behind. When they saw the branches stretching out like ghost claws and attacking Feng Jiu, they saw her flipped her palms and flames came whooshing out. The branches that stretched out in front of her could not dodge them. They were burned by the flame and then shrank back noisily.
Seeing this, they put their worries to rest. Fortunately, these tree spirits were really afraid of fire. That’s easy to do. As long as they have a torch in their hands, they could go through the woods without using force.
Feng Jiu strode inside. About an hour later, she came back from the same road and told Duan Ye, “This area is full of tree spirits. I haven’t seen any fierce beasts. However, it’s a bit unexpected to find a spirit herb along this road.”
“Spirit herb? What kind? Is it worth money?” Seeing her coming back, Ning Lang quickly came over and inquired.
“A hundred-year-old spirit herb is worth a lot of money outside.” She smiled and took out the spirit herb to show them. Then, she put it away.
Seeing this, Ning Lang’s eyes lit up. “It’s a land rich in natural resources indeed! You just walked in an hour or so and found a spirit herb. Maybe there are more deep inside the woods.”
“Alright, have some food and get some rest.” She walked next to them and sat down. However, at that moment, there were rustling sounds. They were startled and quickly looked around.
“What’s that noise?”
“Look! It’s there!” Ning Lang’s eyes widened at the vast expanse of pitch black flying things, stuttering. “What, what are those? Why do they look like bats? ”
“What do you mean, looking like bats? Those are bats, all right? ” Duan Ye said angrily.
“But their eyes are red, while bats’ eyes seem black?” Ning Lang gulped.
“They’re vampire bats. They suck blood. If you don’t want to become a dried-up corpse, get ready to fight!” Feng Jiu shouted. The spirit energy breath in her body rushed forth. She flipped her palms and flames were cast out.
