Animism

After Zhou Wei's flattery, Bing Rouqiao looked at him with admiration all over her face and asked, "Where is the Alchemy Grandmaster you mentioned? Can you introduce him to us?"

For people from other Sects, Disciples with strong abilities might catch their attention.

But such Disciples were not enough to attract their gaze, while an Alchemy Grandmaster met the conditions for them to actively extend an invitation. Bing Rouqiao was eager to meet that person.

Xiao Feng watched Zhou Wei inflate himself to a certain level, walked up to the two of them with a speechless expression, and said, "They are just some simple pills, don't listen to his nonsense."

Zhou Wei heard Xiao Feng shatter his rhetoric and could only point at him, saying, "You are not mistaken, these pills were personally refined by him."

"What? The pills were refined by him?"

Bing Rouqiao widened her eyes and looked at Xiao Feng with disbelief all over her face, completely unwilling to believe that these pills came from his hands.

Xiao Feng saw them focusing their gaze on him, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said, "I just refined them casually, luckily there are no side effects."

Originally, he thought Bing Rouqiao would definitely believe him, but no one expected that she was completely unwilling to believe him.

Xiao Feng shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression and pointed ahead, "Now that the fog is gone, let's move forward as quickly as possible. Don't you want your Hanbing Sword anymore?"

Currently, the Hanbing Sword has been in their hands for quite some time, and no one knows if any Fire Flame Sect Disciple can refine it.

In case the Hanbing Sword is refined by their people into their own life weapon, it won't be that simple for them to get it back.

When Bing Rouqiao heard that Xiao Feng planned to continue helping her pursue the Hanbing Sword, she quickly followed behind him, and the three of them walked outside.

Unknowingly, the three of them walked in the mountains for a full two hours.

Xiao Feng looked at the familiar Mountain Forest in front of him, slightly furrowed his brows, and stopped his steps, "Something is not right. Did we walk back?"

Bing Rouqiao and Zhou Wei exchanged glances and scanned the surroundings.

Zhou Wei came to Xiao Feng's side and spoke with a bit of uncertainty, "Could it be that we are thinking too much? The environment in this Mountain Forest is similar."

Xiao Feng heard them say this, pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and walked to the side of one of the large trees.

Before the two of them could react, the Shanhe Sword had already slashed onto the trunk of this large tree, leaving a mark.

As long as the few of them returned here again, they would know if they had come back simply by the mark on the tree trunk.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the three of them arrived back in the Mountain Forest.

This time, Xiao Feng deliberately kept a lookout, specifically leaving a trace of Spirit Energy behind, as if waiting for the people behind to appear.

He secretly glanced back and found that several trees had inexplicably started moving, following behind them.

When Xiao Feng saw this scene, he quickly rubbed his eyes, afraid that he had seen incorrectly.

Soon, he slowed down his steps and walked beside Bing Rouqiao and Zhou Wei, "You two continue walking forward, I'm deliberately slowing down to check behind."

Zhou Wei understood that there was something behind them, nodded repeatedly, and led Bing Rouqiao to continue walking forward.

In just ten breaths, several large trees passed by Xiao Feng, and he happened to see them.

In an instant, the Shanhe Sword was summoned by him and fiercely slashed down from the air, intending to cut these trees down.

And these trees seemed to have grown legs, running forward with their eyes closed, showing no intention of staying.

Xiao Feng watched the large trees actually run away in front of them, his face full of shock, and quickly greeted Zhou Wei and Bing Rouqiao.

"You two, don't walk forward anymore, hurry and come help."

Zhou Wei heard Xiao Feng's voice, turned his head to look instantly, and his eyes suddenly widened, "This... this... these large trees have gained sentience?"

Xiao Feng watched as the two of them actually still have time to chat and couldn't help but say to them, "All things have spirits. These should be Tree Spirits; we can't let them run away."

The reason the few of them couldn't leave this place was because these large trees kept changing positions, making them constantly tread water.

It didn't take long before Xiao Feng followed these trees to an open space.

Originally, he thought these trees had no retreat, but no one expected that the even taller trees around them all stood up and walked towards Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng told himself he had never encountered such a situation, and for a moment, he stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move even slightly.

At this moment, all the small trees that had just led the way remained behind, watching like spectators, waving their branches as if applauding and cheering.

Just then, Zhou Wei and Bing Rouqiao came to Xiao Feng's side with serious expressions, glanced at them, and gasped.

"What on earth is going on? Why are these trees moving?"

Xiao Feng watched as the two of them still didn't know what was happening, glanced at them, and said, "Don't you two understand yet?"

All things have spirits, and large trees also have their own spiritual souls.

Zhou Wei told himself he had never encountered such a situation before; he had no confidence at all in his heart and fixed his gaze on Xiao Feng, wanting to see if he had a solution.

When Xiao Feng saw the two of them focusing their gaze on him, he took a deep breath and said, "If we want to deal with them, we can use fire."

No matter how powerful they are, as long as they are trees, they will definitely be afraid of fire.

Zhou Wei heard that Xiao Feng already had a way to deal with them, his face full of ecstasy, "That's right! Then let's use fire to deal with them! What are you waiting for?"

Xiao Feng looked at Zhou Wei's anxious face and pulled him back, "If we use fire, and there happens to be any rare treasures inside, they'll be burned away."

The reason they came here was precisely because they wanted to obtain their treasures within the Forbidden Ground.

Xiao Feng reminded the two of them, "You two stay here. Unless something happens, you two must not separate."

Based on the experience summarized from the last white fog, the two of them separating meant there was no way they could survive.

Since that was the case, the only thing Xiao Feng could do was to fight alone.

He then focused his gaze on the large trees again and immediately saw the large tree watching the commotion behind.

No need to ask, that large tree definitely had considerable ability, otherwise, there would be no reason for it to stay put and watch.

In just ten breaths, Xiao Feng used the speed of the Shanhe Sword to bypass the trees in front and appeared out of thin air in front of the large tree watching the commotion.

Before it could react, Xiao Feng had already placed his hand on the trunk of this tree.
