The air around them was parted by the arrow, and Nie Lengshan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Such strong control! No wonder..."

Before he could finish speaking, it was as if a hand had grabbed his neck; his eyes widened, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Just then, the sun rose above the horizon, and the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree reflected dappled purple light under the sun's rays.

The vast expanse of green grassland makes it appear even more majestic and magnificent.

But ironically, beneath the trees where the light repeatedly streamed in beams and curtains, glaringly bright red blood flowed like a stream in the gullies beside the tree roots.

The air was filled with gruesome corpses, scattered haphazardly in different places, from which blood dripped.

A gust of wind blew in my face, and the strong smell of blood was nauseating.

“It’s Shanren!” Even from a great distance, Nie Lengshan recognized the thing immediately. Wasn’t it the guy they had been chasing all along?

“Look at their wounds,” Xu Fang said.

Nie Lengshan took the binoculars from Xu Fang and looked in that direction.

The mountain people were all dressed in branches, looking like ugly black sausages on a balcony.

Before Nie Lengshan could get a closer look, another layer of mist formed ahead, obscuring the cruel and bloody scene.

The Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree still retains its sacred and radiant appearance.

The stench of blood in the air disappeared, replaced by a pleasant aroma of herbs and trees.

A cold sweat trickled down Nie Lengshan's face. His joyful mood was instantly dampened, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

He really wanted to say that perhaps the brutal mountain people had angered the sacred tree, leading to their self-destruction.

But the cruel way he died made it impossible for him to say those words.

"It's a giant purple linden tree! We're rich!"

"Thanks to these dandelions, otherwise we would never have found this place!"

"Such a huge linden tree! I should have called a few more brothers!"

Just as everyone was hesitating, excited shouts suddenly rang out from behind them.

One hunter after another emerged from the sea of ​​grass, looking up at the towering Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree, their eyes filled with ecstasy and greed!

"You lot, don't come any closer!" Nie Lengshan quickly stopped them.

"Heh, Nie Lengshan, I admit you're very strong, but that's no reason to stop us brothers from making a fortune!" said a man with a small mustache.

"Exactly! They called themselves mountain hermits, and they really fooled me at first, but I didn't encounter a single one!"

"Nie Lengshan, Nie Lengshan, I never expected that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, could make up such a convincing lie! What mountain man hunting? It was all a bunch of blatant lies!"

Everyone chimed in, each seemingly unwilling to back down.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents!

—And most importantly, they knew that Nie Lengshan was a good person, and that there would be no danger in scolding him.

"Wait a moment."

Lingling suddenly spoke up: "You just said that mountain people hunt?"

“Yes, the mountain people used dandelion grass to mislead the hunters into thinking there were large purple linden trees on this side of the grassland, so the hunters would lie in wait and wait for an opportunity to ambush them,” Nie Lengshan said.

"That's easy to understand. Dandelion grass is more resilient than ordinary dandelions, and it's difficult for ordinary winds to blow it up."

But now, the hillsides are covered in flying dandelions, all drifting towards the sea of ​​grass! Who else could have done this but the mountain man?

Chapter 395 is good, things are developing smoothly.

"How could a guy like Shanren, who has no magic and only brute strength, possibly blow up so many dandelions?"

Lingling chuckled and said, "Could it be that they're lying on the ground, puffing out their cheeks, and blowing?"

Everyone imagined the scene: a group of ugly, widowed mountain men kneeling on the ground, their large buttocks sticking up high...

"vomit."

His Adam's apple bobbed, and Nie Lengshan forced a calm expression: "I also think it's unlikely..."

"The number of dandelions is still increasing."

"It is not a mountain man who blows the dandelion grass, but someone else!"

"The mountain man is merely a hunting tool used by it; its true purpose is probably..."

Lingling's expression suddenly changed, and she shouted, "Come back!"

It turned out to be a wind mage who used his wind wings to fly towards the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Divine Tree!

"Hahaha, a bunch of cowards, do they even deserve to be hunters?" Zhao Si laughed loudly.

In the hunter's line of work, the bold get rich and the timid starve.

Although Zhao Si stuttered and spoke slowly, he had full confidence in his speed.

Let alone those foolish warriors, he was confident he could escape even from the commander-level demons dwelling in the trees!

"Wow, so big! The Demon Crown and the Leaf... not enough! I want something even more valuable!"

If Zhao Si talks a little too much, the corner of his mouth will twitch; this is an old wound left by demons in his early years.

His face was contorted with ecstatic ecstasy.

On the tree trunk, a creature resembling both a lizard and a tiger roared loudly at it, but its attacks missed their mark several times.

"Hahaha, can you... can you keep up with my pace?" Zhao Si provocatively asked, maneuvering in the air a few times, leaving the demons completely bewildered.

And in full view of everyone, he picked a glistening fruit!

Zhao Si is not dead.

Seeing the crystal-clear, obviously valuable fruit in his hand, the hunters who had been hesitating just moments before suddenly became restless.

"Don't move! Something's strange!"

Nie Lengshan tried to stop them.

But the hunters were already captivated by the endless treasures on the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree, and none of them wanted to eat what others had left over, nor did they want to drink what others had left over.

"Nie Lengshan, get out of my way!"

"Zhao Si isn't dead, you think you can fool us? We're smart!"

"Damn it, don't you dare yell at me!"

"Even if we die, it's none of your business. If you don't move aside, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Although Nie Lengshan was strong, he had no right to stop these hunters who wanted to make a fortune.

Even the accompanying members of the Magic Association, as well as his own military mages, were eager to make a move.

"Enough, Nie Lengshan! We finally managed to clean up the outer Kunyu Mountain, and just when we were about to reap the rewards, you're being so fussy!"

"This was said by Tong Shang, the official in charge who had just arrived."

“Mr. Tong, I think what General Xu and this young lady said makes sense. There’s something strange about this tree…” Nie Lengshan said.

"joke!"

Tong Shang scoffed at this:

"This Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree is a miracle! Our Yantai might become the richest coastal city because of its existence! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I don't want to miss it!"

The inner Kunyu Mountain in Yantai has brought enormous benefits to the city, while the outer Kunyu Mountain brings even more wealth and wisdom!

If it could be incorporated into Anjie, Yantai, it would be like gaining a continuous gold mine all at once.

This allowed Yantai to develop into a super coastal city in just a few years, and with Kunyu Mountain as its backing, even a mere sea monster could be easily subdued.

This will be a significant achievement for Tong Shang, and further advancement is inevitable. The key is to gain recognition and honor within the family!

Therefore, even if this tree looks so sacred and harmless, and even if there is something strange about it, Tong Shang would rather pay the price of his men's bloodshed to take it down!

He wants the tree!

"Then I'll take my leave." Seeing that this guy was determined to die, Xu Fang turned around and left without hesitation.

Lingling followed in his footsteps without hesitation.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan exchanged a glance. Although they still couldn't figure out the intricacies of the situation, Huang Mao and Lingling must have their reasons for reaching an agreement.

"Why···"

Nie Lengshan wanted to persuade him to stay, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

A strong sense of unease made even this top-tier figure in the advanced realm hesitate.

"Hmph, Nie Lengshan, go outside and bring another team of men to drive away these greedy hunters who dare to covet my prey!" Tong Shang said.

Nie Lengshan remained silent for a long time without arguing. He chose to trust his intuition and quickened his pace to keep up with Xu Fang.

The group disappeared again into the vast sea of ​​grass, walking forward in silence.

"Heh, no wonder you've been struggling at the high level for half your life, lacking even a bit of courage. How could you possibly advance to the super level?" Tong Shang sneered.

"Mr. Tong, shall we go take a look at the linden tree first?" The subordinate looked eager, impatient to get a sip of soup.

“Yes, take me with you. I don’t have the Wings of Wind,” Tong Shang said.

The high-ranking mage's subordinates respectfully led their mid-ranking mage superior and flew towards the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Divine Tree!

······

The grassy sea was very quiet, and Xu Fang and the others moved forward quickly.

Zhao Manyan couldn't help but say, "Aren't we being too cautious? Zhao Si clearly didn't die just now."

He may have been rich, but that's all in the past.

Since falling out with Zhao Youqian and being forced to flee the world to escape assassination, his bank cards have been frozen.

The available funds are barely enough to support even one girls' dormitory.

Therefore, upon seeing the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Divine Tree, Zhao Manyan's first reaction was to scream like a groundhog in his heart, almost wanting to rush over and hug the tree's roots and give them a couple of big kisses.

"It's good to be cautious. Anyway, this tree is so big, we can come back when it's fully developed," Mo Fan said.
