The Magic Flute

In the scorching Mountain Forest, three figures were resting beside a large tree.

A small tree, stiff all over, stopped in front of Xiao Feng, appearing very strange.

The small tree understood that it had to move its position, otherwise, when they woke up, it would have no way to explain why it appeared here.

However, while the small tree was trying, Xiao Feng was awakened by its slight moving sound and slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw that the small tree had actually appeared in front of him, he stood up with a face full of confusion.

Zhou Wei and Bing Rouqiao were originally resting, but now sensing that Xiao Feng had stood up, they also stood up with faces full of bewilderment.

Originally, Xiao Feng thought the small tree wanted to ambush them, but no one expected that the small tree had no reaction at all.

Only now did he discover the unusual point and walked in front of it: "What do you mean by this?"

Just then, Xiao Feng felt a burst of heat coming from inside his clothes, causing him to involuntarily take out the Magic Flute from inside his clothes.

As soon as the Magic Flute appeared in front of the small tree, the small tree clutched its head with a pained expression.

Just from its actions, it was clear that the Magic Flute was very likely something that could counter the small tree.

To verify his guess, Xiao Feng glanced at the two people behind him: "You two come with me, let's go to a secluded place and try."

Although Zhou Wei and Bing Rouqiao didn't know what Xiao Feng wanted to do, they trusted Xiao Feng one hundred percent and honestly followed behind him.

Because the place they were just at was in the middle of the Mountain Forest, no one knew if anyone would come looking for trouble there.

And now, they had arrived at the edge of the Mountain Forest, where no one should pass by.

To ensure their safety, Xiao Feng glanced at the two of them: "You two rest well outside, I'll be out in a bit."

Zhou Wei and Bing Rouqiao exchanged glances and readily agreed, the two of them finding a tree trunk to lie down on.

Xiao Feng, on the other hand, took the small tree to the depths of the Mountain Forest, placed the Magic Flute beside his mouth with a smile, and tried to play the Magic Flute for the first time.

The small tree watched Xiao Feng's actions with a face full of fear, its branches shaking wildly, as if begging for mercy, terrified that Xiao Feng would continue playing.

However, he came here this time to conduct an experiment, so how could he listen to the small tree's command?

Xiao Feng kept watching the small tree's actions, put down the Magic Flute with a smile, and walked in front of it.

At this moment, the small tree was rolling on the ground in pain, faintly feeling a sensation of wanting to die from the agony.

When it sensed that Xiao Feng had not continued playing, it couldn't help but say to Xiao Feng: "Don't play anymore, this flute is something specifically used to restrain our Shanshu Tribe."

Xiao Feng watched as the small tree focused its gaze on him, his brows slightly furrowed: "Oh? Can you tell me more? I'm very interested in this flute."

In his eyes, this flute was too different from their Shanshu Tribe; he didn't know why they could be connected out of thin air.

The small tree understood that its little life was already in Xiao Feng's hands; if it didn't say anything, it definitely wouldn't be able to survive.

The small tree took a deep breath: "This Magic Flute is the Divine Artifact that controls our Shanshu Tribe. It has its own name, called Pipi."

When the Magic Flute heard someone call its name, it immediately became excited and kept circling around Xiao Feng.

The small tree watched the Magic Flute's actions and shook its head helplessly: "Pipi wants to recognize you as its master. Once you have it, you can command the people of our Shanshu Tribe."

If they needed to reside in the Forbidden Ground in the future, Xiao Feng might consider keeping the Magic Flute by his side.

But they needed to leave here in the future, and keeping this Magic Flute would be useless.

Xiao Feng repeatedly shook his head: "I already have the Shanhe Sword; I don't need the so-called Magic Flute to recognize me as its master."

The small tree originally intended to give the Magic Flute a proper name, but no one expected the Magic Flute to land in front of Xiao Feng, as if sulking, emitting streaks of purple aura.

The small tree quickly retreated a few steps and hid behind a large tree, afraid that the Magic Flute's power would enter its ears again, as it couldn't withstand that.

In just ten breaths' time, the sound of someone playing the Magic Flute was heard.

Waves of invisible sound wave attacks struck the surrounding tree trunks, causing cracks to appear on them.

Xiao Feng walked over to these large trees with a face full of surprise, touched the scars on them with his hand, and took a deep breath: "Sound wave attack?"

This was likely the first time he had encountered this kind of invisible attack method, and his heart was inexplicably moved.

The Shanhe Sword could only be used to protect himself, but it had no way to unleash this kind of invisible fluctuation to injure people without being seen.

The small tree watched Pipi display its powerful strength and quickly walked out from behind the large tree: "Just let it recognize you as its master, Pipi is really amazing."

Xiao Feng listened as the small tree kept talking about Pipi's amazing qualities and couldn't help but sneer: "Are you trying to play tricks in front of me?"

Although the small tree didn't say anything, Xiao Feng had already guessed what the small tree meant.

Sooner or later, they would leave here. As Xiao Feng's Magical Artifact, the Magic Flute would also need to follow him out of the Forbidden Ground.

Without the Magic Flute in the Forbidden Ground, the Shanshu Tribe would lose their natural counter-artifact, which was equivalent to removing a threat for them inside.

When the small tree heard Xiao Feng point out its thoughts, it scratched its head with an embarrassed look.

It didn't expect Xiao Feng to react so quickly, making it feel like a thief who had been caught.

Since he was clearly already tempted by the Magic Flute, the small tree couldn't help but add fuel to the fire: "This Magic Flute can not only control our Shanshu Tribe, but it can also control other things."

Although the small tree hadn't seen it with its own eyes, it believed that with the Magic Flute's ability, it could definitely do this easily.

When Xiao Feng saw the small tree's serious expression, he nodded slightly: "Then I'll believe you this once. Now, you don't have the guts to leave from in front of us, do you?"

In his view, the Magic Flute had become his Magical Artifact.

If the small tree dared to disappear out of thin air, he would take the Magic Flute to the Shanshu Tribe's territory and let them know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

The small tree listened to Xiao Feng's warning and repeatedly shook its head: "Yes, as long as you subdue the Magic Flute, our Shanshu Tribe will follow your lead. We will do whatever you want us to do."

When Xiao Feng heard the small tree say this, he nodded in satisfaction: "Then based on what you said, I'll try to take in the Magic Flute."

He then used the Shanhe Sword to cut his finger, dripping blood onto the body of the Magic Flute, causing the light on the Magic Flute to gradually converge and land in front of Xiao Feng.

At this moment, Xiao Feng could already control the Magic Flute's movement, causing him to nod with a face full of pleasant surprise: "Good, the Magic Flute will be my Magical Artifact from now on."
