Chapter 1187 - 523: Even Trees Can Deceive

"Let’s take a look."

Xu Qingqiu also descended, joining Ning Qi.

The hill beneath them, feeling the presence of people on its back, began to move slowly along its trajectory.

This speed gradually increased after they settled down.

"This won’t work, at this rate, even after a few days we won’t reach there."

"By then, others will have arrived!"

Ning Qi stood up, looked at the moving hills, and sighed.

"There’s no other way, we can only wait like this."

The Medicine Spirit shrugged, showing a helpless expression.

"Did you discover something?"

Xu Qingqiu stood up, observed the hills all around.

Trying to find something.

"I noticed there’s a certain pattern to these hills."

Ning Qi pointed out a direction to her, then continued: "In that direction, these hills are always moving in a certain direction."

"And this direction forms a meandering line."

"I believe if we go this way, it might be the direction they are guiding us towards!"

"This... should we try?"

Xu Qingqiu hesitated slightly but eventually agreed.

"Alright, let’s go!"

Ning Qi agreed and then leaped up.

"Okay!"

Xu Qingqiu no longer hesitated, following closely after agreeing.

Both of them slowly leapt towards the direction they decided on.

Due to restrictions here, they could only move by jumping back and forth.

This greatly reduced their speed.

By the time they arrived, half an incense stick’s worth of time had passed.

At this point, the two stood at the entrance of a canyon.

Ning Qi glanced back, realizing the hills had become completely still.

"Master, they’ve stopped."

The Medicine Spirit noticed the same issue and pointed to the hills behind Ning Qi.

"That means we’re at the right place!"

Ning Qi nodded, took a glance back.

"But, if they really are guiding us, then... if others come, will they guide them as well?"

At this moment, Xu Qingqiu suddenly thought of something.

Couldn’t help but say it.

"It doesn’t matter, as long as we seize the opportunity, that’s enough."

Ning Qi didn’t care about this.

After saying this, turned his head forward: "Let’s go, see what’s inside."

"Yes!"

Xu Qingqi nodded and followed.

The Nine-tailed Cat, which was already bouncing on the hills, quickly followed up.

The Medicine Spirit, needless to say, stayed perched on Ning Qi’s shoulder all along.

Just like this, they headed towards the canyon entrance.

When they arrived, looking inside.

They discovered the cliffs ahead were all battered and broken.

"It looks like a fight had occurred here!"

Xu Qingqiu glanced and continued forward: "There used to be an array here, but it’s already been destroyed!"

"Feels really eerie!"

The Medicine Spirit shrank his neck.

The Nine-tailed Cat then leapt onto a rock, gazing into the distance.

Those eyes glimmered with a faint green glow.

Staring ahead, as if it had spotted something.

"What’s up, did you see something?"

Ning Qi turned his attention to the Nine-tailed Cat.

He also noticed something was off with the Nine-tailed Cat.

"Feels like there are many restless souls ahead, but I’m not sure what’s there."

The Nine-tailed Cat could speak.

Even though there wasn’t much verbal communication during the journey, Ning Qi occasionally heard the Nine-tailed Cat and Xu Qingqiu converse, realizing it could speak.

"Master, should we continue inside?"

"Is there danger here!"

Upon hearing the Nine-tailed Cat’s words, the Medicine Spirit suddenly felt like backing off: "I believe there are treasures elsewhere too."

"Since we’re here, let’s venture in."

Ning Qi shook his head and said: "Stay close!"

"Alright!"

Xu Qingqiu agreed and followed.

She didn’t know why, throughout this journey, she felt an unusual reliance on Ning Qi.

This feeling was something she couldn’t explain.

Just like this, they headed straight forward.

Soon, they arrived at a dense forest in the canyon.

Here, there were many skeletons.

Many had been absorbed by the trees, bones scattered everywhere.

"This is..."

Xu Qingqiu looked at the trees, showing a solemn expression.

"These are Cannibal Trees, surprising to see them after all this time."

The Medicine Spirit clearly recognized these trees.

"These trees were clearly planted here as seeds by someone."

The Nine-tailed Cat also approached, looked at the trees, and spoke to everyone: "As long as there’s no scent of blood, they won’t attack."

"We just need to be cautious, we can move through here!"

"Okay, then let’s go!"

Ning Qi readily agreed and walked straight ahead.

"Huh? I feel this place is getting spookier."

The Medicine Spirit was lying on the Nine-tailed Cat’s back.

This journey revealed that following the Nine-tailed Cat was the most comfortable.

The Nine-tailed Cat enjoyed hopping around.

At this time, the Nine-tailed Cat had already leapt onto the tree.

"Don’t worry, as long as we’re uninjured, these trees won’t come to life!"

"Just don’t move recklessly!"

The Nine-tailed Cat was not resistant to the Medicine Spirit.

It clearly understood who had saved it.

Even though it had become Xu Qingqiu’s spirit beast, the gratitude remained.

"Okay!"

The Medicine Spirit then sat up straight, holding tightly onto the Nine-tailed Cat’s fur.
