Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Perhaps because of their higher level, the scorpion group was faster, so even though Xiao Yunhuang had increased the speed of the flying boat to the extreme, it was still a step behind.

Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to get rid of the other party, and being caught up is only a matter of time.

Think about the huge number of scorpions behind us. If we were really caught up, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Don't you have a lot of flying boats there? If you find one that's faster, change it quickly." Mo Juren suddenly thought of something and reminded quickly.

"If I could, I would have done it a long time ago." Xiao Yunhuang smiled helplessly.
"There are indeed two flying boats in the storage bracelet that are known for their speed, but they are not as fast as the one I am using now. There is no point in changing them."

"Is that so?" Mo Juren frowned, made a careful estimate, and continued,

"According to the current flying speed, it is estimated that we will be caught up in an hour at most."

"So fast!" Xiao Yunhuang was also scared. This was no joke. If she was really caught up by the scorpion group, she would be completely finished.

Turning to look at the other person, I found that his expression was still calm, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Mo is so calm, is there any other solution?"

"No." Mo Juren shook his head and denied it without even thinking about it. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunhuang was stunned on the spot.
"No...no? Then why are you so calm?"

"Panic won't solve the problem, so why should I panic?" Mo Juren asked back with a smile, and as soon as he said this, Xiao Yunhuang was stunned.

It seems to be true! But for some reason, I always feel that something is wrong?

Instantly, her mind was in a mess. Fortunately, the situation was urgent at the moment, and she didn't have time to think too much. She quickly asked:
"It's already this late, so stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what we should do."

"What I said is the truth. There is really no other way." Mo Juren put away his smile and continued.

"But this endless forest has a complex environment. Danger is everywhere, which also means opportunities are everywhere. One hour is enough for us to deal with it."

"Zhou Xuan, Brother Mo wants to..." In an instant, Xiao Yunhuang thought of a possibility and said with surprise,

"Are you trying to divert the blame?"

"It seems that you are not that stupid to think of it so quickly." Mo Juren smiled again, and Xiao Yunhuang snorted coldly when he heard this.
"It's not that I'm stupid, it's obviously you who's talking in a roundabout way, making it hard for people to react for a while."

"Okay, it's my fault." Mo Juren didn't argue with the other party and changed the subject.
"Let me control the flying boat next. This way, if we find any opportunity, we can respond in time."

"Okay, but my 'Floating Light Divine Boat' is quite special. It needs to recognize the master in advance before it can be controlled freely. There are two ways to recognize the master. The simpler one is to directly integrate the blood into the control compass. Come with me." As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yunhuang flashed and entered the second floor of the attic.

Mo Juren followed closely behind and also flew in. Then he saw a white jade compass with a diameter of half a foot floating in the center of the room, which was emitting bursts of light.

At this moment, behind the compass, there were two graceful figures standing at the same time. One was naturally Xiao Yunhuang, and the other was the same, but her body was a little illusory. It was just a special clone of her spiritual mind.

Since entering the Cang Gu Secret Realm, all flying boat controls have been completed by this clone. As the original body, Xiao Yunhuang only needs to pay attention to it occasionally.

"What should we do next?" Mo Juren asked directly as he came closer.

"First, drop a drop of blood into the bright spot in the center of the compass, then probe your spiritual sense into it and sense it carefully until you establish a connection with the entire flying boat..."

Xiao Yunhuang gave a brief explanation, and Mo Juren, hearing this, did not ask any more questions and just did as he was told.

Everything went smoothly. With the strength of his spiritual sense, he was able to recognize the master in just a few breaths. He could also clearly sense that the entire Floating Light Divine Boat seemed to have become a part of his body and he could control it as if by his own motion.

"Not bad! It's much better than the flying boat I used!" Mo Juren nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the subject.
"Please get out of the way. I will be in control from now on."

"Your own safety is the most important. If necessary, just abandon it. I still have a lot anyway!" Xiao Yunhuang naturally did not object, but reminded him again, and then put the clone into his body and carefully moved a step to the side.

At this moment, Mo Juren also instantly released his spiritual sense to the extreme, and in an instant all the information within a radius of more than a thousand miles was completely under his control.

This is also the source of his confidence. With the assistance of his vast spiritual consciousness, it is not difficult at all to drive the flying boat even in such a complex environment.

About a hundred miles behind him, the scorpion group was still chasing him closely, but he did not pay too much attention to it and instead focused all his attention on the front.

Things were just as he had imagined, this so-called endless forest was indeed a complex environment, with countless exotic beasts living in it, so opportunities were everywhere.

Just as he thought, after flying for only a short distance, he discovered another group of strange beasts, which were some kind of red flying crows that could spit fire. There were also many of them and they were quite powerful.

Without any hesitation, he immediately controlled the flying boat to lead the swarm of scorpions that were chasing him closely behind.

Since his purpose was to divert the trouble away, he naturally would not linger in the fight. Without waiting for the group of strange beasts to react, he flew past them.

During the process, they naturally encountered obstruction from a flock of fire crows, and waves of terrifying demonic flames swept over. However, the strange thing was that the moment those demonic flames approached the flying boat, they were directly dissolved by some mysterious force.

Of course, it was only a brief moment, and the mysterious power disappeared instantly, but it was enough for the flying boat to break through the obstruction of the flames and then soar into the air.

Not only that, the moment the mysterious power appeared, the entire flock of fire crows felt an inexplicable chaos in the spiritual energy in their bodies. The weaker the strength, the stronger the feeling was, but it was fleeting.

But even so, it still had a significant deterrent effect, preventing the group of fire crows from continuing to pursue.

However, in just a moment, the scorpions arrived, with no intention of avoiding them, and directly fought with the fire crows.

The difference in strength between the two sides was still very great. The scorpion group clearly had the advantage. In just a moment, they had devoured the fire crow group and then continued to chase.

However, Mo Juren's method finally worked. The short delay just now had widened the distance between the two sides to two hundred miles.

In the following days, Mo Juren kept repeating a similar method, finding a suitable group of strange beasts to divert trouble and kill people with a borrowed knife.

Of course, he was not successful every time. Many times, the scorpion groups would choose to avoid him. Therefore, after several days, he only widened the distance between the two sides by more than 800 miles.

"This is not a solution!" Inside the flying boat, Mo Juren frowned. The scorpions were quite intelligent and could probably guess his purpose. The reason why they still chose to fight with other groups of strange beasts was probably just out of their bloodthirsty instinct. Moreover, they could win in a moment and did not waste any time.

Once they encounter a stronger group of alien beasts, they will still choose to avoid them. In this case, this simple method of diverting trouble to the east is not enough. It is necessary to choose a stronger target, making it difficult for the opponent to avoid the battle and difficult to win, so that they can truly solve the problem once and for all.

But such a target is obviously not easy to find, and even if it is found, a stronger target means greater risks, which is also extremely dangerous for him.

"That is!"

After flying for nearly half an hour, Mo Juren's heart trembled. He sensed something vaguely and subconsciously turned his head to look to the left. About a thousand miles away, there were countless extremely powerful fluctuations of magic power.

If his inference was correct, it should be some kind of large group of exotic beasts, and the number was far beyond imagination, and many of them were at the Void Refinement level.

Even though Mo Juren had a strong mind, he was still somewhat shocked at this moment.

Such a large-scale group of high-level exotic beasts can definitely hold back the scorpion group behind, but it is also very likely to put itself into a new crisis.

But after only a slight hesitation, he made a decision. This was a rare opportunity and he couldn't miss it. He had to at least take a look. If he found something was wrong, he could just run away.

Thinking of this, he changed direction without any hesitation and approached the unknown group of strange beasts at a high speed.

When they were about a few hundred miles away, Xiao Yunhuang also sensed it and immediately showed a look of horror.

Turning her head to look at Mo Juren, especially his resolute and decisive profile, she suddenly stopped talking, saying nothing, and just stood quietly beside him and waited patiently.

When they were about a hundred miles away from the unknown group of strange beasts, the two of them had already seen each other's true faces through the window.

Surprisingly, it was different from what one had imagined. They were not birds or beasts, but towering ancient trees that were nearly a thousand feet tall. To be precise, they were tree monsters that possessed intelligence and had achieved successful cultivation.

From the aura revealed, it can be concluded that most of them are at the level of Spirit Transformation, but there are also quite a few at the level of Void Refinement mixed in.

"Brother Mo, we..." Xiao Yunhuang was about to ask, but she found that the other party was not afraid at all, but looked excited, which immediately made her look confused.

"It's really like searching for a needle in a haystack, but finally I got it without any effort!" Mo Juren laughed. If it were any other strange beasts, he would indeed need to consider it, but these tree monsters were different.

This kind of pure wood-attributed monster is actually easier for him to deal with. It’s not that he can defeat it. After all, if the tree monster is too strong, the power of the decree will be weakened.

But it doesn’t matter. His purpose is to divert the trouble away. He doesn’t need to confront the tree monster head-on. Moreover, as long as he operates properly, the consumption of the imperial edict will not be too great.

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Xiao Yunhuang:
"We will pack up the flying boat later and fly directly into the group of tree monsters."

"Ah this..." Xiao Yunhuang was dumbfounded. She really wanted to ask, is the other party planning to take her to die with him?

"What? You don't believe me?" Mo Juren laughed.

"No, I just..." Xiao Yunhuang shook her head quickly, paused, and then sighed softly.
"I believe in you. Even if I really have to die, I will accompany you."

"Come with me?" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of amusement. At this moment, Xiao Yunhuang also reacted instantly, and her cheeks flushed.
"You...don't think too much, I don't mean anything else."

"It turns out there is no other meaning!" Mo Juren burst into laughter.

"You...you are such a bastard!" Xiao Yunhuang was naturally very angry after being teased repeatedly. If the situation was not critical at the moment, she would have wanted to teach the other party a lesson directly.

"It's already this late, who wants to listen to your nonsense? Let's get down to business."

"It's hard to explain. You just need to put away the flying boat later. You don't have to do anything else. Leave everything to me." Mo Juren also put away his smile, but had no intention of explaining.

Xiao Yunhuang was naturally full of curiosity, but after going through so much, she had long been accustomed to the other party's mysteriousness, so she was very tactful and did not ask any further questions.

She suddenly thought of something and quickly took out the map jade slip. After checking it, she sighed helplessly.

It seems that what the other party said before was true. The map information given by Senior Tianli was really outdated, and there was no record about this place on it.

If this is the case, then wouldn’t the so-called Five-Colored Spring have also had problems a long time ago?
This is not certain! However, now that things have come to this, it is impossible to give up halfway. I can only take it one step at a time.

A moment later, the two had reached a few miles away from the edge of the tree monster group and stopped directly.

Flying out of the window, Xiao Yunhuang put away the flying boat according to what Mo Juren said, and then looked forward.

What came into view was an endless forest of towering ancient trees, the number of which was simply impossible to count, and each tree was over a thousand feet tall, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

What frightened Mo Juren was that there was a powerful shielding force inside this ancient forest, which prevented his spiritual sense from penetrating too far.

This was indeed beyond his expectations. Apparently, this ancient forest was much more mysterious than he had expected. His original plan to use this place to get rid of the scorpion group was probably a little unreliable!

It’s not that the ancient forest can’t stop the scorpion group. It’s obvious that the former is more terrifying. But it’s also because of this that if you dive in, it’s a question whether you can get out again.

It is true that the Wood Element Edict is his greatest reliance, but it is not invincible. Facing such an almost endless number of ancient trees at the Divine Transformation and Void Refining levels, he really has no confidence at all.

There is one thing that is very strange. These ancient trees have grown to such a high level, so they must have noticed the arrival of the two people a long time ago, but for some reason, they remained motionless and did not pay any attention to their intentions.

Is it possible that you can't move?

Such a thought immediately flashed through Mo Juren's mind, but he changed his mind and felt that it shouldn't be the case. Even for plant life, after cultivating to the level of transformation of spirit and refinement of emptiness, there should be no such restrictions, right?
To take a step back, even if the main body really cannot move, the soul can definitely move. However, facing the arrival of the two people, and getting so close to them, these ancient trees did not move at all, neither attacking nor driving them away. It was really strange.

Just when he was struggling over whether to enter or not, at this moment, there was a sudden crackling sound from the trunk of an ancient tree of the Void Refining level in front of him, and then an old face emerged.

A pair of huge eyes instantly burst out with a strong green light, and they looked directly at Mo Juren for a while, then spoke faintly:

"My dear friend, my king invites you!" (End of this chapter)
