The Immortal Emperor Returns - Chapter 662

Chapter 662 Ghost-faced Tree

Chu Xun’s divine sense spread out completely, accurately avoiding all the poisonous beasts and danger.

He was shocked that the Ghost Camel Ridge was so dangerous. He had just walked less than a kilometer, but he had already encountered several poisonous beasts in the Gold Immortal Realm.

He guessed that the higher up he went, the more poisonous beasts and pools there would be.

He cheered up and focused on the place. In an unfamiliar environment, excessive self-confidence was fatal. The more careful, the better. He had seen too many incidents happen because of carelessness.

Looking at the bare trees on both sides, Chu Xun had a strange feeling in his heart. He always felt that these trees were staring at him. It was a strong feeling.

He got closer and wanted to take a closer look.

However, as soon as he approached, a pair of eyes suddenly opened on the tree trunk. They were like two black holes. The scarlet liquid was flowing in the eyes.

Swoosh!

A branch, as thick as an arm, suddenly moved like a soft whip. It was covered with barbs. Each one of them was around ten centimeters long. The branch whipped toward him with a hissing sound.

The tree was Ghost-faced Tree.

He should have thought of this earlier. He did not expect that such a thing, which he had seen in the world of cultivation, would appear in the Immortal Domain.

Chu Xun shot backward.

Boom!

The trunk hit the ground, causing the ground to explode and mud to fly in all directions.

Chu Xun finally knew that the source of the miasma here was the gas emitted by these trees.

The Ghost-faced Tree was difficult to deal with. It was not merely powerful. Its bark was very tough. Even a middle-grade Sacred Relic could not break it. In addition, it had so many branches that even experts at the intermediate stage of the Gold Immortal Realm would be trapped in them.

Moreover, the Ghost-faced Tree was poisonous all over. Just a little bit of its poison was enough to paralyze an expert in the Gold Immortal Realm. They were extremely greedy. Any living creature would be sucked dry by them.

At this time, all the Ghost-faced Trees around opened their eyes. They didn’t have any nose or mouth and only had faint outlines of their faces. But you could feel that they were smiling at you strangely.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

This time, not just one tree branch attacked. Dozens of trunks pounced on Chu Xun. Venom dripped from the barbs, corroding the ground and leaving big holes.

Buzz!

The Reincarnation Lines flew all over the sky. The Reincarnation Lines were the best to deal with the Ghost-faced Trees. Countless Reincarnation Lines jumped up and down like small purple snakes. They rushed toward the Ghost-faced Trees, covering the sky and the earth.

The Reincarnation Lines flew through the branches like a swarm of locusts and cut all the trunks attacking Chu Xun into pieces.

The best way to deal with the Ghost-faced Trees was to destroy their eyes because they had good vision.

Reincarnation Lines shot into the eyes of these trees one after another and exploded. Immediately, scarlet liquid splashed everywhere, and shrill ghost cries sounded, making people feel a chill on their backs.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After their eyes were destroyed by the Reincarnation Lines, these Ghost-faced Trees went completely crazy. Their branches fluttered wildly. They could not see, but they could destroy anything they touched.

When the branches of these Ghost-faced Trees crashed into each other, they would frantically attack each other. The branches exploded one by one, splattering venom everywhere.

After a while, these Ghost-faced Trees had no branches anymore. Their branches were all destroyed by their companions. Standing there, they were like wooden stakes. Without the branches, they couldn’t attack anymore.

Chu Xun raised his hand and threw out a fist print. The trunk of a Ghost-faced Tree was smashed, and blood immediately splashed in all directions.

Ghost-faced Trees were very greedy. They would kill any living creature, and even if they were full, they would suck the opponent’s blood and store it inside the tree trunks to slowly digest it. Their tree trunks were hollow and could store a large amount of fresh blood.

“Let’s play a game. One, two, three, wooden man.” Chu Xun smiled evilly. Some powerful Ghost-faced Trees would have intelligence. They should be able to understand his words.

“Well, you win.” After saying that, Chu Xun ignored them and walked forward.

The trees, which had turned into wooden stakes, began to tremble. It seemed that they were very angry with Chu Xun.

Ghost-faced Trees were everywhere. It was not easy to reach the top of the mountain.

Chu Xun hid his aura and then spread out his divine sense to explore the way. These Ghost-faced Trees could only find the aura of living creatures. He hid his aura and shuttled through the forest easily.

On the other hand, Ye Huiling and his companions were constantly in trouble. They had already encountered several poisonous beasts during this period of time, and now they were targeted by three millstone-sized poisonous spiders.

One of them had lost half of his arm.

Once shot, the spider silk was scarier than spears. It could pierce boulders, and it was sticky and corrosive.

This expert at the intermediate stage of the Gold Immortal Realm was grazed by the spider silk because he was conceited and relied on his talisman. The spider silk corroded his arm instantly and transformed it into a pool of blood. He directly severed his elbow. If it wasn’t for his swift reaction, his entire body would have turned into a pool of blood.

“Everyone, be careful.” Ye Huiling’s face turned grim.

The three black spiders cooperated very well. They formed a triangle and surrounded Ye Huiling and the others. With the poisonous miasma, it was a little difficult to spot them.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three spider silk threads assaulted them, each as thick as a child’s arm and as sharp as a spear. They moved as fast as lightning.

The visibility here was too low. By the time they found them, the spider silk threads were almost within reach.

“Get out of the way,” Ye Huiling shouted. At the same time, he pushed out the expert at the intermediate stage of the Gold Immortal Realm who had lost half an arm and had reduced combat power. Then Ye Huiling dodged calmly.

Boom!

The expert pushed away by Ye Huiling fell to the ground. The ground exploded. A terrifying bloody mouth opened. The crisscross fangs in it shone with a cold light.

“Ah…” The expert’s face turned pale in fear. He screamed in horror and fell into the big mouth.

Crack!

The mouth closed, and blood flowed out between its teeth. The ear-piercing sound of bones being crushed made people feel a chill all over.

The faces of Ye Huiling and the others turned pale.

Especially Ye Huiling, he was the one who had pushed the expert away. Ye Huiling wanted to save him but did not expect that he would go into the beast’s mouth and be swallowed alive.

The others were speechless. Ye Huiling had done something bad out of the kindness of his heart. He had directly fed his own people to a beast. It made him feel uncomfortable.

If Chu Xun was on the spot, he would definitely gloat. The poisonous beast that suddenly appeared was the poisonous crocodile that he had let go of.

“Ah…” Ye Huiling was so angry that he rushed to the poisonous crocodile with a violent aura all over his body. He punched out with his palm, and a terrifying energy chain of Internal Breath shot out and hit the head of the poisonous crocodile.

Ye Huiling’s palm was terrifying. It knocked over the 20-meter-long poisonous crocodile directly and made its belly face upward. Then, he suddenly took out a long sword. After activating it, the Sword Qi became cold. He slashed out, and a sword radiance over ten meters shot out.

Poof!

Blood splashed everywhere. The poisonous crocodile’s whole body was as hard as armor, but its belly was very soft. The sword cut its belly open, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The poisonous crocodile let out a miserable shriek.

Swoosh!

He shot another devastating sword light out. With a poof, the poisonous crocodile stopped screaming abruptly. Its head, which was as big as a hill, rolled on the ground and was beheaded by the angry Ye Huiling.
