C723 A Strange Tree
C723 A Strange Tree
One. Even if a living person died in the collision and was unlucky enough to be smashed into meat paste, at least there must be some traces left behind, such as blood and flesh. Who knew that there were no traces left in the carriage?
It was as if the carriage had been empty from the beginning and Ru was not inside at all.
Damn it, what was going on?
Ye Bufan angrily kicked away a piece of broken wood. "Ah, it hurts!"
Suddenly, a woman's painful cry came from the forest beside them.
Someone was there! Ye Bufan initially thought it was Ru's voice and was about to rush in when suddenly his face was full of surprise. No, this was not Ru's voice. Ye Bufan had never heard this voice before.
Thinking of this, Ye Bufan vigilantly looked at the source of the voice. In front of him was a dense forest. Ye Bufan's Divine Sense carefully inspected it. However, the result of his discovery made him feel surprised and bewildered. The area of the dense forest wasn't very long. It was only a few hundred meters. If there was someone hiding in there, they would definitely be discovered.
"You are not a competent driver, you are really funny, hehe!"
The voice came again. This time, Ye Bufan heard it clearly. He also caught the sound. It was a tree.
It was a strange tree. The trunk and leaves were less than two meters tall. The color of the trunk and leaves was pink. It stood in the middle of the trees that were more than ten meters tall. It gave people a strange feeling.
"You can talk?" Ye Bufan was a little surprised, but then he calmed down. If a big rock could speak as a dead object, then a big tree could be considered a part of all living creatures. It wasn't a rare thing to be able to speak the human language. Besides, a tree that could speak could also be seen in the original world.
"If you can speak, why can't I?" The pink tree said rudely.
Ye Bufan smiled bitterly. The Immortal Domain was indeed different from the original world. He had just been humiliated by a woman, and now he was being bullied by a strange tree. Could it be that the heavens were trying to temper my state of mind?
Shaking his head, Ye Bufan really did not have the mood to chat with a tree. His priority now was to find the missing Ru. The rest of the matters were no longer important at this moment.
If Ru couldn't be found and disappeared, it would be hard to imagine what kind of crazy thing woman in white would do. Ye Bufan felt cold just thinking about it.
Where should he go to find her? Ye Bufan frowned and was worried. Ru had disappeared without any warning. There was no trace of her. The worst part was that Ye Bufan only had three days. It was such a big place nearby, let alone three days of bad luck. Even if it was three months, he wouldn't be able to find them all.
Perhaps in less than three days, woman in white would know that Ru had disappeared. At that time, this woman with a heart as vicious as a snake would definitely go crazy and torture me to death.
Sigh, this is troublesome.
"Hey, are you looking for the girl sitting in the carriage?"
What the pink tree said shocked Ye Bufan. He almost forgot that the pink tree had always been here. She must have seen what happened in the short moment when the horse went crazy.
"You saw everything?" Ye Bufan said excitedly. Ru's safety was too important. It was related to Ye Bufan's ability to solve the Bewitching Curse Dance peacefully. He was afraid that it would be impossible for him not to be excited.
"Yes, that girl was taken away by a few people."
"Quickly tell me where they went."
The pink tree was like a little girl who liked to act strange. She giggled and said, "Sure, I can tell you, but I have a condition."
"What condition?" Hearing that there was another condition, Ye Bufan calmed down a little.
In the east of the forest, there was a mountain that looked like a sharp sword. Because of this, it was called Sword Mountain. The mountain was steep, and it was the only mountain in the vicinity. It was also the mountain that most people climbed because of.
Because the environment here was too harsh, it would soon be covered in ice and snow. The cold wind was bone-piercing, and sometimes the fire was raging. The temperature would instantly rise to a limit. The two extreme weather were unpredictable. At this moment, it was precisely the moment when the cold was intertwining. Perhaps in the next moment, the heatwave would surge, and it would almost burn people.
At the top of the mountain. Even at every corner of the mountain... In the past, some experts had searched the entire mountain, but found no traces of the existence of any rare treasures... Gradually, no one was interested in this mountain, and the nearby places became extremely rare.
It was Ye Bufan's first time here, so he had no idea how terrifying the Sword Mountain was. The steep mountain path was nothing to Middle Period of Immortal Spirit warriors. After climbing for more than a hundred meters, Ye Bufan gradually felt that something was wrong.
Apart from the mountain path becoming more and more steep, the surrounding environment started to become colder and colder, and the temperature was getting lower and lower. Ye Bufan roughly felt that there were some who stayed up all night reading.
However, this temperature was still within Ye Bufan's acceptable range. However, just as Ye Bufan was getting used to the cold, suddenly, the surrounding temperature rose by more than 300 degrees in an instant. It was so hot that even the black mountain seemed to have turned fiery red.
Just like that, it was cold and hot at the same time. Ye Bufan enjoyed the extreme weather and environment bitterly.
At first, he could still grit his teeth and persevere, but as he climbed higher and higher, the extreme cold and heat appeared. Ye Bufan finally could not hold on any longer.
"I say trees, are you reliable or not? Is Ru really on top of this?" Ye Bufan stopped, turned his head and asked Little Sapling, who was carrying a pink tree on her shoulder.
Little Sapling, who was on his shoulder, trembled and said angrily, "I have a name. Next time, please call me by my name."
"What's your name?" Ye Bufan smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
"My name is Little Tree!"
Hearing the name of the pink Little Sapling, Ye Bufan was completely speechless.
"The person you are looking for is at the top of the mountain. I will use Little Tree's reputation as a guarantee."
"I hope you won't lie to me."
After resting for a while, Ye Bufan regained his energy. Just as he was about to continue climbing, he suddenly heard movement from the top of the mountain.
Boom! Boom!
The movement was very small at first, but after a while, the movement became bigger and bigger, as if something round was rolling down rapidly.
Damn it, could it be that the top of the mountain collapsed?
No, although the noise was scary, it was nothing compared to the collapse of the top of the mountain. It was not worth mentioning at all. After figuring this out, Ye Bufan finally let out a sigh of relief. The collapse of the mountain was too terrifying, not to mention finding Ru. It would be a huge question whether he could survive the catastrophe or not.
"Haha, damn bastard, I finally found you!"
Suddenly, a wild laugh appeared not far away.
Ye Bufan's expression changed drastically and he quickly turned around. A middle-aged man with a waxy yellow face appeared more than twenty meters away from Ye Bufan.
His eyes were filled with hatred, and his face was sallow. He had a vicious look on his face. Ye Bufan felt goosebumps all over his body as he stared at the middle-aged man. At the same time, he also felt puzzled. Although he had been in this world for more than twenty days, he had been trapped in the valley for most of the time. He had spent the remaining few days in woman in white's house. How could he have offended some enemies?
Looking at the other party's expression, it was as if he was facing an enemy who had killed his father. It made Ye Bufan very confused.
Halfway up the mountain, the cold wind was biting cold, and the temperature was frighteningly low.
Ye Bufan nervously held Little Sapling's hand, although he still didn't know when he had formed a grudge with the middle-aged man. However, Ye Bufan sensed a strong threat of death. The middle-aged man's body was emitting a terrifying aura. He was several times stronger than a Middle Period of Immortal Spirit. He should be a Late Period of Immortal Spirit warrior.
A Late Period of Immortal Spirit was a completely new realm that Ye Bufan had never stepped into before.
A terrifying opponent!
Ye Bufan's expression turned serious. His eyes were scanning the surroundings. Now that he was facing the threat of death, he could only let go of the matter of finding Ru. He had to deal with the middle-aged man who had come to seek revenge first.
After thinking about it, Ye Bufan felt extremely depressed in his heart. Before he arrived at Emperor City, he had been imagining the life he would have to face in the future. Who would have thought that he would be so unlucky? First, he was unlucky enough to land in the valley. After putting in a lot of effort, he finally managed to escape. Then, he landed on woman in white's body, and was hit by the Bewitching Curse Dance.
Ye Bufan felt that his mind had been stolen and controlled by someone. He felt that he was unlucky enough. However, unexpectedly, bad luck had arrived once again, and a strange enemy had appeared out of nowhere.
"Kid, have a taste of your life!" The middle-aged man said coldly.
The word 'pay with your life' made Ye Bufan's heart sink to the bottom of the valley. This was a death grudge. If it was an ordinary grudge, it might be resolved. It seemed like a fierce battle was inevitable today.
Unfortunately, Big Stone wasn't by his side. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to fear the Late Period of Immortal Spirit middle-aged man.
Ye Bufan shook his head and took a deep breath to calm his heart. A tough battle was about to begin, and it could be considered as the first stop in the Immortal Domain. Of course, Ye Bufan hoped to win, but judging from the comparison of strength, the chances of winning were very slim.
The gap between Late Period of Immortal Spirit and Middle Period of Immortal Spirit was not small, unless something unexpected happened. Ye Bufan could still find a chance of winning, but Ru had disappeared. At the same time, he also took away the biggest stone he could rely on.
Fortunately, she wasn't too unlucky. She had broken through to the Middle Period of Immortal Spirit. Otherwise, he could only rely on the strength of an early Immortal Soul expert, plus the loss of the big stone. He was afraid that Ye Bufan would be killed without any suspense. Of course, there was still some suspense. But the suspense was not big.
No, it should be too unlucky. When did this damned middle-aged man seek revenge? At this time, the huge rock wasn't on his body, and he couldn't avoid the suppression of the Immortal Domain's rules. Thus, he could only exert seventy to eighty percent of his strength.
"I'm really unlucky. I can't believe I'm following a man who's about to die."
Little Tree's dissatisfied voice sounded in his mind.
"You f * cking shut the f * ck up!" Ye Bufan was irritated. Death was about to descend. Who could face it calmly? Even people with strong mental fortitude would feel fear.
