Chapter Eleven: The Ancient Banyan Tree

There are many parts of the brown hyena pig that can be used as materials for cultivating immortals, such as its fur, tusks, and bones, which are relatively hard and can be used to refine weapons, and its blood can be used to refine elixirs.

Everyone present had no experience in refining weapons and alchemy, and finally unanimously decided to take them back and trade them, and distribute the magnetic jade equally.

The pig's body was so huge that it was difficult to take it away whole, so everyone had to cut the useful parts here and put them into storage bags and take them away.

There was inevitably blood splashing during the process, and the meat of the brown hyena pig was also a great tonic for many spiritual beasts, which inevitably attracted other spiritual beasts. After everyone cut it up, they quickly left.

There were no dangers along the way, and everyone worked together to kill the raging rabbit in the early stage of foundation building, the colorful feather chicken in the eighth level of Qi refining, and collected many spiritual plants that could be used to make first-level elixirs. The harvest was full.

Everyone was sitting on the ground and resting. During the Qi refining period, they had just started practicing. Fighting also consumed a lot of spiritual energy, so regular breath adjustment was necessary.

"That mute and ugly thing is gone." Xue Huanhuan said this suddenly.

Everyone looked at Xue Huanhuan in confusion.

"He's her little follower." Xue Huanhuan explained impatiently, pointed with her chin, then leaned against the tree, closed her eyes to rest, and stopped talking.

Everyone followed her gaze and saw that it was Bian Tingyu.

Bian Tingyu also heard Xue Huanhuan's words. She was a little confused at first, but when she saw that she was referring to herself, she realized that Song Shiyin was not seen in the team.

There was no time to study how offensive Xue Huanhuan's "mute and ugly monster" and "little follower" were. Bian Tingyu stood up suddenly. She frowned, worried, and shouted: "Shi Yin! It's Shi Yin who is missing. Did you see it?"

To ten sounds?"

Everyone also realized at this time that Song Shiyin's sense of presence was really too low and he didn't like to talk at all, so no one noticed it for a while.

The disciples shook their heads one after another, indicating that they did not pay attention to Song Shiyin's whereabouts.

"Shiyin is timid. There are many dangers in this dense forest. Could it be that we are in danger? No, I have to find her quickly." After saying that, Bian Tingyu turned around and ran away.

"Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist Bian." Du Yunxi stepped forward to stop Bian Tingyu.

"Fellow Daoist Bian, you also said that the dense forest is full of dangers. If you go alone, what if you not only fail to bring Daoist Song back safely, but also are in danger yourself? Let me go with you. One more person will give you more strength.

"Du Yunxi spoke sincerely. Song Shiyin was the team she invited to join. Due to both emotional and logical reasons, she should be responsible for Song Shiyin's safety.

Bian Tingyu nodded, what Du Yunxi said made sense.

"You two are both in the Qi refining stage, I'll go with you." Wen Jiu also spoke up and joined the search team.

"Fellow Daoist Song is our teammate. Since we came here together, we have to go back together. Let's go look for him too." The speakers were a pair of twin brothers, Sun Yao and Sun Xiao.

Having said that, the remaining people also expressed their willingness to search for Song Shiyin together. Xue Huanhuan did not speak, but silently followed Du Yunxi.

"When we were picking asparagus grass, I talked to Shiyin, and then we came here to rest, and Shiyin followed me. It's all my fault, I should have pulled her." Bian Tingyu tried her best to recall the last scene.

The first time she saw Song Shiyin, she was so anxious that she was a little incoherent.

"That means Junior Sister Song has not been away for a long time. Everyone, let's look around to see if there is anything strange." Wen Xiu thought for a while and came up with an idea.

People scattered in all directions, trying to find it.

"Here!" Zhuo Guang saw traces of the grass being bent in the grass, and it was obvious that someone had turned back.

"This must have been left by fellow Taoist Song, but I don't know what she was doing back there?" Everyone gathered around, and Du Yunxi used a branch to move the bent grass.

"Let's go take a look." Wen Xu led everyone forward. The group moved slowly and cautiously.

"This is Shiyin's wristband!" Bian Tingyu saw a sky blue wristband in the open space with the Lingyun Immortal Sect's emblem painted on it. Undoubtedly, there would not be another Lingyun Immortal Sect disciple killed here.

.

Bian Tingyu rushed up to pick up the wristband and put it away. Looking forward, she saw a long mark on the ground. The soil was smoother here, as if something had been dragged.

"It must have been left behind by Junior Sister Song when she was in danger. Let's move forward along this road." Wen Xu made a decisive decision.

The traces of dragging were very long. Bian Tingyu was afraid that Song Shiyin would encounter something unexpected if she left late, so she walked faster and faster, and finally started running directly.

"Ah! Help!" There was a whoosh, and Tan Leshan, who was at the end of the team, was caught by something and was dragged backwards quickly.

"Junior brother Tan!" Hearing the words, he turned around quickly and chased in the direction of Tan Leshan while using magic techniques. The technique he used was an original technique created by his master Jingshan Zhenren, called "Bing Xin". The traditional technique is to move the body inside the body.

Ice attribute spiritual power can be used to attack or defend, while "Ice Heart" can gather water elements in the air and freeze them into ice to achieve the purpose of air attack.

Zhuo Guang caught up with him at some point. He kept attacking the enemy, and the speed of dragging Tan Leshan obviously slowed down.

"Zhi Shui! Condensation!" Wen Jiu formed a seal on his hand and drank in a low voice.

There was light blue spiritual energy flowing behind Tan Leshan, which gradually solidified as Wen Xu performed the techniques.

Wen Xu tried his best to build an ice wall behind Tan Leshan. After dragging Tan Leshan's things and touching the ice wall, the ice wall quickly deformed and wrapped it in it.

Wen Xu and Zhuo Guang arrived quickly and rescued Tan Leshan. Only then did they see clearly that what took Tan Leshan away was a thick branch, which was wrapped around Tan Leshan's neck. At that moment, the ice wall shattered.

The branches fled quickly.

Tan Leshan, who was surviving the disaster, clutched his neck and gasped for air. His face was red, his eyes were bulging, and he was coughing heartbreakingly.

"Fellow Taoist Tan, are you okay?" The rest of the people came over one after another. Seeing that Tan Leshan was so uncomfortable, Du Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little worried. She knelt down and patted Tan Leshan's back to help him calm down.

"I suspect that the thing that took Junior Sister Song away is the same thing that attacked Junior Brother Tan just now." Wen Xu squatted down and looked at the traces in the soil. They were exactly the same as those on Song Shiyin's wristband. After thinking for a while, he made a bold guess.

"But what if they are not the same thing? We have been delayed for so long and we don't know what happened to Shiyin." Bian Tingyu was very anxious, but at this time there were limited clues, the most obvious one being "drag".

"Let's look for it first."

Everyone searched for a while, but found nothing. The surroundings were quiet, not even the chirping of birds was heard.

Bian Tingyu was running around anxiously, but she couldn't rush around like a headless fly.

At this time, Song Shiyin arrived at an underground cave.

The cave was damp and dark, with water dripping down. Song Shiyin touched the wall and walked slowly inside.

The spiritual power here is mixed, blocked by ancient banyan trees and monks in the integration stage. Thinking of this, Song Shiyin put his fingers together and lightly drew a line between his eyebrows.

As far as you can see, there is nowhere to hide.

Song Shiyin was in a long corridor. At the end of the corridor, behind the wall, was a secret room.

At the same time, she felt the breath of "it".

Song Shiyin formed a seal on her hands, weaving a small golden net in the air, and she whispered "Go".

The golden net flew quickly, straight through the wall, and then searched for the location of "it" in the secret room.

"It" is attached to a book, flickering in and out. The golden net immediately locks "it" in place, and the grid extends to all sides, slowly becoming larger.

"Trapped!" The golden net suddenly wrapped the book in it and trapped it, and then gradually disappeared.

Song Shiyin threw the chopped branches of the ancient banyan tree on the ground, then picked a flat place and lay down with his eyes closed.

Back here, the Song Shiyin rescue team is analyzing clues.

"Everyone, we can think about the attack conditions of the tree branches." Du Yunxi sat on the ground and suddenly thought, was it because Song Shiyin and Tan Leshan were selected as targets by the tree branches because they both met the condition of "being alone"?

After listening to Du Yunxi's analysis, everyone felt that it made some sense.

"At that time, fellow Taoist Bian ran to the front, and several fellow Taoists were also looking for clues ahead. I accidentally tripped over a stone, and when I was about to stand up with my hands on the ground, something wrapped around my neck and pulled me hard.

He was pulled back." Tan Leshan recovered and recalled what happened before he was dragged by the branch for everyone's analysis.

"Did Fellow Daoist Song be taken away after accidentally tripping? Maybe they came from the same tree. They usually hide underground and wait for opportunities. When they see someone alone, they attack decisively." The person who spoke was Ten.

The last one among them is Su Wenhong.

"According to this, Fellow Daoist Bian was alone at that time, and on the road where Fellow Daoist Song was being dragged, why did the branch find Fellow Daoist Tan instead?" Sun Yao thought for a moment and raised a question.

Everyone was silent. Is the tree branch attacking people randomly or conditionally?

"At that time, I was tightly wrapped around my neck, and I only had time to shout for help. After that, it was difficult for me to breathe, let alone call for help. It was only because of the quick response of Senior Brother Wen and Fellow Daoist Zhuo that I was rescued." Tan Leshan added some more information.

After saying this, everyone understood that, combined with Su Wenhong's guess, the tree branch not only needed to hit the target with one hit, but also needed to take the person away quickly to prevent the victim from calling for help.

In order to test everyone's guesses and to know the location of the branch itself, Du Yunxi came up with an idea.

Du Yunxi found some of the longest rattans around and wrapped them around the wrists of two people. Everyone followed the order of the rattans and formed a circle with some distance between them.

The nine people took turns lying on the ground, waiting for the branches to attack.

One after another, everyone lay down and stood up again. Nothing happened. Bian Tingyu was so anxious that she stamped her feet and tears were already gathering in her eyes.

Eight people have passed, and only Du Yunxi is left. If she fails to succeed, it will prove that everyone's guess is probably wrong, and the clues will be interrupted here.

Fortunately, the emperor paid off, and as soon as Du Yunxi lay down, he felt the wind blowing.

"Junior sister Du!" Wen Xi reminded.

Du Yunxi quickly covered her neck with her hands, and thick branches quickly wrapped around her hands. She exerted all her strength, always keeping a certain distance between her hands and her neck.

The branches quickly dragged back, and under the cover of tall weeds, Du Yunxi quickly disappeared, and only the sound of "squeaking" could be heard.

Wenxiu, who was closest to her, immediately chased after her.

The rattans wrapped around everyone's wrists provided them with direction. As they ran further and further away, the surrounding environment changed rapidly.
