381: Safe Zone

"Thank you for just now."

"Since we are cooperating, I will naturally do my best to ensure your safety within the scope of my ability."

"Good."

This could be considered a demonstration of the attitudes of both parties.

After resting for less than a quarter of an hour, the commotion started again.

"Damn it, is there no end to this?!"

Wu Wenlong was the most agitated, as his strength was not much higher than Zhou Xun's, and he only had a few secret techniques to show for it.

The key was that this place had been found by Zhou Xun; if Chen Tianming really had to abandon one of them, it would only be him.

"Don't be so rash; it must be that something went wrong with the Blood-Sucking Insects."

Only the Blood-Sucking Insects could make such a commotion here.

Their numbers were vast enough that when they gathered together, they were comparable to a God-rank divine beast.

However, they were characterized by being irritable and bloodthirsty.

"Damn it, if those things really go into a rampage, what do we have left to win with!" Wu Wenlong shouted hurriedly at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun nodded.

"It is indeed difficult for us to win, but that doesn't mean we can't win!"

At this moment, Wu Wenlong suddenly froze.

"No, it's not that it's difficult to win, but that we don't have any certainty!"

When Wu Wenlong said this, his eyes widened.

"Chen Tianming, I have an idea!"

Seeing Wu Wenlong's expression, Chen Tianming immediately walked forward and asked, "What idea?"

"We are currently trapped here, so let's use my secret technique to fight them, and then we can escape in the chaos!" Wu Wenlong said.

"No, we can't do that."

Chen Tianming shook his head.

Although Wu Wenlong's secret technique could make them stronger in a short time, it also had significant side effects.

Once Wu Wenlong was killed, they would also be devoured by those Blood-Sucking Insects, and it would be a dead end by then.

"Besides, where can we escape to now? We can only fight."

"I do have an idea. The Blood-Sucking Insects and this tree shouldn't have a symbiotic relationship; otherwise, when this tree attacked, they should have attacked together."

Listening to Zhou Xun's words, Chen Tianming instantly understood what the other party meant and nodded in realization.

Wu Wenlong said, "That makes it simple. We just need to find an opportunity to lure those Blood-Sucking Insects, and then let them rush onto this tree."

"Good, let's act now. If I'm not mistaken, they will definitely gather in that place, and that will be the day of our victory."

The three of them immediately took action, flying quickly towards the top of the trees, and soon arrived at a large tree.

Because Chen Tianming was a martial artist with deep martial arts, and Wu Wenlong's strength was not as good as Chen Tianming's, he could only stay on the large tree.

"Wu Wenlong, vision!"

"Southeast direction!"

After seeing the surrounding leaves, Wu Wenlong pointed hurriedly to a location, "I think that location might be the lair of the Blood-Sucking Insects."

Zhou Xun said, "This place is too big. If we can't find that location, it's easy to get lost, and that would be troublesome."

"No way!"

Wu Wenlong's eyes widened.

At this moment, Chen Tianming suddenly turned around, and the silver needles in his hand shot off into the distance.

Following a scream, it echoed in the air.

That monster-like, discordant, screeching noise sounded as if it were going to pierce their eardrums.

Enduring such pain, Chen Tianming and Zhou Xun burst forth with extreme speed to lure these Blood-Sucking Insects under the tree.

Just as they expected, those branches indeed launched an attack at them.

However, no matter how smart a tree is, it is still a plant, and when it attacked Chen Tianming, it also hit those Blood-Sucking Insects.

With one lash, a whole circle of them died, and the Blood-Sucking Insects were not to be trifled with, immediately shifting their target from Chen Tianming to this tree.

"Not good, Wu Wenlong, get out quickly!"

"Okay!"

By now, the three of them already had some tacit understanding.

Especially since Wu Wenlong and Zhou Xun had been to many such dangerous places and had escaped death countless times, this tacit understanding had long been forged.

Now, almost the moment the opening was found, Wu Wenlong jumped down from the tree and ran outward rapidly.

At this time, the branches were all entangled with the Blood-Sucking Insects, and there was no thought of dealing with Wu Wenlong at all.

Watching the scene of the two sides fighting, Wu Wenlong couldn't help but exclaim.

"It feels like both of their targets are the same; this is clearly a hostile relationship. How could they be raised together?"

Zhou Xun rolled his eyes at Wu Wenlong, "Then you tell me, if they weren't in a hostile relationship, how would we survive?"

They instantly understood that the purpose of this palace was only to test them, not to put them to death.

"Zhou Xun, is this a trial ground you found?"

"I don't know, but it should be a training ground. There are relevant records about this place, but most of them are vague, only marking that there is a supreme treasure here."

"What is this supreme treasure?"

"It should be a divine artifact."

Zhou Xun thought for a moment and said.

"A divine artifact?"

Wu Wenlong gasped inwardly.

Their family only had two divine artifacts, which were left to them by his grandfather, but they hadn't used them yet.

Now that he heard Zhou Xun say that the supreme divine artifact was very powerful, how could he not be shocked?

"Didn't your grandfather say that supreme divine artifacts disappeared a long time ago? How did another one pop up?" Wu Wenlong asked strangely.

"I don't know the reason either. Maybe my grandfather didn't tell me, but it should be like this!" Zhou Xun said.

"Hmm."

Wu Wenlong nodded.

"Let's keep moving forward. Regardless of whether it's a divine artifact or not, we have to see it to know!"

Chen Tianming said indifferently, not surprised; the protection here was valuable.

The most critical reason was that a divine artifact was something ethereal, and he hadn't exactly never seen one before.

The sword that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady used in her hand should undoubtedly be a divine artifact.

The key was, if this really was a trial, a place to screen candidates, how could a deity use such evil things?

"Let's keep going. Just as Brother Chen said, until the very end, no one knows the result."

The disappearance of the Blood-Sucking Insects also cleared a path for them, allowing them to explore the surroundings.

Thus, they walked forward quickly. When they were about to reach a place, they discovered that a small stream appeared in front of them, and that small stream was very clear.

Chen Tianming was secretly happy. If they went to take a bath at this time, they would definitely be able to increase their strength.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianming took his long sword and stabbed it into the water.

"Splash."

As soon as the long sword entered the water, it disappeared as if a clay ox had entered the sea.

"Huh? Strange!" Chen Tianming wondered.

"Could there be some restriction here?"

Looking at himself in the water, Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "That's impossible. This kind of water doesn't have any restrictions, but I tried it just now too."

"Could it be that we can't get across?" Wu Wenlong asked worriedly.
