“Li Yunyang, is that you?” Xiang Xueer tentatively glanced across.
With a rustling sound, the still air was devoid of any wind. Xiang Xueer fixed her gaze on the massive Camphor Tree, not daring to blink.
Before long, eight children dressed in white robes slowly emerged from behind the tree. They appeared to be around seven or eight years old, peeking at her as if playing hide and seek.
Children? Xiang Xueer squinted at their innocent faces and did not approach. Instead, she cautiously focused on one of the kids and asked, “Who are you?”
“Hahaha!” A few of the children squinted at each other and laughed without saying a word. Suddenly, one child with fair skin dashed forward at lightning speed and appeared right in front of Xiang Xueer, wrapping his arms around her waist.
She never expected such a situation. Looking down at the strange smile, she raised her hand to point at his forehead: “Let go of me, you little Demon! Be careful or I’ll blow your head off!”
The child looked up at her with a grin, but suddenly his cute face twisted into a terrifying grimace, revealing two fangs as he hissed, “Human, welcome to the Lost Forest.”
“Ah!” Xiang Xueer suddenly felt a tearing pain in her waist. Looking down, she saw that the hands tightly gripping her had transformed into something resembling dead wood, with fingers spreading like roots into her body. It seemed intent on devouring her.
“Are you looking for death?” Xiang Xueer gritted her teeth against the pain and realized that the child's face had turned as withered as a tree. The form she had seen earlier was merely an illusion meant to deceive others. Without hesitation, she pulled the trigger.
Bang! The loud gunshot echoed through the forest, startling Li Yunyang, who was in the middle of relieving himself. He shook uncomfortably and cursed as he kicked his pants and jumped out from the bushes.
He was certain that the gunshot came from Xiang Xueer's AK47. Could something have happened? Li Yunyang quickly followed the sound, and from a distance, he could smell the strong demonic aura mixed with a pungent scent of gunpowder in the air.
There are Demons! He shouted loudly and swiftly drew his Azure Dragon Sword from behind him, charging forward while howling: “I am Li Yunyang, chief disciple of Feng Qingyang, leader of the Holy Ten Exorcists! Demon, release my wife at once or face my wrath!”
He had not finished shouting when suddenly his foot slipped, and with a loud 'thud,' he made intimate contact with the ground, falling flat on his face.
"Ah!" Li Yunyang painfully lifted his head, spitting out the dust from his mouth. Turning to look at his feet, he saw a vine as thick as a human arm tightly wrapping around his left leg, and it was getting tighter and tighter. In no time, his entire leg was completely ensnared by the vine.
"Damn Tree Demon!" He picked up the Azure Dragon Sword and wildly slashed at the vine, but it felt as tough as reinforced concrete. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't inflict even the slightest damage on it.
"How could this happen!" Li Yunyang initially wanted to use Azure Dragon Slash, but he estimated that if he did, his leg would be ruined. Before he could come up with a plan, the vine suddenly jerked, pulling one of his legs toward the forest.
After eliminating a Tree Demon, Xiang Xueer saw the Little Tree Demon that had been hugging her waist immediately fly back into oblivion. She coldly looked at the few Little Demons hiding behind the trees and shouted, "What's wrong? If you have the guts, come out! Just in time for me to practice my shooting!"
The Little Demons were terrified after witnessing the earlier scene and hid behind the Camphor Tree, not daring to move. Xiang Xueer also seemed frightened; her AK-47 was no joke. They wouldn't dare act arrogantly unless they were looking for death.
However, the stout Camphor Tree in front of her appeared to be the source of their inability to escape the Lost Forest. The sweet scent emanating from it could induce hallucinations. It seemed that in order to get out, she would have to uproot this Old Tree Demon.
She raised her gun and slowly approached the Camphor Tree. Suddenly, a massive vine shot up from the ground in the night, and the Camphor Tree abruptly uprooted itself. The vine surged forward rapidly, and then they heard Li Yunyang's desperate voice: "Dead Girl, help me!"
"Li Yunyang?" Xiang Xueer wondered. Suddenly, eyes sprouted on the trunk of the Camphor Tree and slowly opened, fixating on her with a pair of Red Eyes.
With a 'whoosh,' the Camphor Tree's Tree Demon quickly retracted its vines, ensnaring the foolish Li Yunyang tightly by all four limbs and leaving him half suspended in mid-air.
Xiang Xueer focused her gaze and confirmed that it was indeed that idiot Li Yunyang. Due to the intense shaking, he was seeing stars and groggily shouted, "What kind of monster is this? Let me go! I'll fight you!"
"Hmph!" Xiang Xueer narrowed her eyes and raised her gun to aim. Suddenly, the Old Tree Demon let out a piercing sound: "Hahaha, little girl, you'd better obediently put down your weapon; otherwise, I'll send your friend here to meet his maker first!"
"Friend?" Xiang Xueer slowly revealed a calm smile at the corner of her mouth and coldly sneered at the Old Tree Demon, "Do whatever you want... Do you think I care about this idiot's life or death?"
"What?" Li Yunyang, who was hanging in the air, spinning around, heard Xiang Xueer say this and immediately shouted angrily, "You heartless Dead Girl, have you been wishing for my death so you can remarry? Just wait, once I get down, I will definitely divorce you!"
This idiot? Xiang Xueer silently cursed in her heart, and her expression immediately darkened. The Tree Demon, who had been watching from the side for a long time, suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, ever since you entered the Lost Forest, I have been observing you for a long time. You two are definitely not just friends. If you think you can fool me, let me tell you both, today is your burial ground!"
"Damn it!" Xiang Xueer raised her gun and aimed at the Tree Demon's eyes, ready to pull the trigger. However, the Tree Demon was very cunning; with a flick of its Vine, it blocked Li Yunyang in front of itself, leaving her unable to aim.
At that moment, the Tree Demon let out an evil laugh and began to call forth the group of Little Tree Demons hiding behind it. One by one, they bared their sharp teeth and extended their claws towards Xiang Xueer.
"Not good!" Xiang Xueer shouted and quickly raised her AK47, firing three shots in rapid succession. She instantly took down three of the seven approaching Little Tree Demons, but there were still four left.
Seeing that time was running out, she suddenly felt an unusual heaviness around her waist. Looking down, she saw that a Little Tree Demon had tightly wrapped its arms around her body; its arms were already beginning to wither like a dead tree, gradually trying to merge her into itself.
Li Yunyang, who was hanging there feeling dizzy, shook his head vigorously. He noticed that a Little Tree Demon was preparing to ambush Xiang Xueer from behind while she was in danger and shouted, "Watch out behind you!"
"Huh?" Xiang Xueer slightly furrowed her brows. At the same time he shouted, she sensed the danger behind her. She looked up and saw a branch about a meter above her head. With a leap, she tightly grabbed the Tree Trunk with both hands and executed a spinning kick with her legs, decisively kicking away both the Little Tree Demon holding her waist and the one attempting to ambush her several meters away.
With a strong pull of her arms, Xiang Xueer flipped herself onto the Tree Trunk. It seemed that in close combat she wouldn't be able to use her gun anymore. She quickly drew two daggers from her ankles; in the darkness, the flash of blades and her leopard-like eyes immediately shocked the remaining Little Tree Demons, making them hesitate to approach any closer.
