Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Several people started walking again towards the woods.

As soon as he entered, a vine dropped from overhead, which Bai Yuan easily pushed aside with a blood-red blade condensed from his fingertips. Although he didn't use much force, the vine still broke, oozing black slime. The moment it fell to the ground, it corroded a deep pit that emitted green smoke.

Bai Yuan held his breath.

The three men and the tiger continued to move forward cautiously along the moss-covered path.

Throughout this process, a few vines would occasionally fall, but Ji Tingxue and Ye Shuang'er dodged them. Only when they couldn't avoid them did they sever them with their swords. More and more black slime formed on the ground, faintly connecting and intersecting, forming a massive, dark pattern.

suddenly.

Ji Tingxue seemed to have noticed something and suddenly looked in a certain direction.

As she moved, she saw a palm-sized stone flying straight towards her from a forest hundreds of meters away, like a spear shooting out!

And behind that "spear", there was clearly a black and gray shadow that flashed by!

--------

ps: The "black pattern" in the last few paragraphs is not allowed to be posted, so it can only be changed to "black pattern".

Chapter 124: Trespassers will be killed! (Reward for additional chapters 16-17)

"?!"

Ji Tingxue leaned back slightly to avoid it, and the stone immediately passed through the three people and the tiger and landed on Ye Shuang'er's side.

The stone's surface was clearly covered in honeycomb-like holes, each containing an eyeball the size of a grain of rice. Some of these eyes stared at Bai Yuan, others at Ji Tingxue, rotating in unison as they moved. When Ye Shuang'er subconsciously met one of the eyes, the entire stone suddenly let out a sharp cry!

"Wow——"

The moment the crying sounded.

Bai Yuan waved his sleeves, crushing the stone into powder, but his crying suddenly increased a hundred times.

The leaves of the surrounding trees trembled, the same honeycomb stone pattern appearing on the back of each leaf. The entire forest suddenly came alive and began to shrink. The crystal trunks collided with each other, making a sound like chimes, but within the crisp music, there was a dull sound of breaking bones.

"……run!"

Bai Yuan dragged the two of them onto the tiger's back. As the tiger leaped, dozens of python-like roots suddenly rose from the flat ground. These dark purple roots were covered in human-like protrusions, and from their open "mouths" spewed yellow smoke with a sulfurous smell, but it was completely blocked by the suddenly opened Star Tracking Array.

"Tingxue, just now..."

Bai Yuan glanced at Ji Tingxue.

The latter immediately knew what she wanted to ask: "Sorry, I didn't see it clearly... I'm not sure if it was a person or something else."

They had been as careful as possible since entering the woods, and had been walking for quite a while without getting into any trouble, but that sudden rock ruined their progress.

Look at the direction that stone is flying from...

It was clearly thrown by someone!

Could there be other living creatures in this forest besides the four of them?

So... are they outsiders like them, or are they native creatures of this [Cangwu Abyss]?!

Bai Yuan had a vague guess in his mind, but was a little unsure.

Regardless, the current situation had reached a critical juncture. Following the clear, chime-like sound, the forest of towering ancient trees began to consciously encircle Bai Yuan and his companions. A dense network of branches formed in front of the White Tiger, while behind them, python-like roots pursued them.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic to rush out of the woods and reach the other side in one breath.

Therefore, Bai Yuan made a decision in an instant: "Turn left! Go in the direction where the stone just flew from!"

As he spoke, Bai Yuan had already grasped the Nine-Transformation Exquisite Dice in his palm. Meanwhile, his other hand tightly gripped the Netherworld Bone Flute, ready to throw and play. The Star Track Talisman Array also activated with full force, forming a brilliant, star-lit protective layer around him.

at this time.

The White Tiger also burst out with the aura of his eighth-grade Nascent Soul cultivation, and his huge body turned into a white lightning, streaking across the sky above the dead forest.

Behind them, more and more tree roots and vines tumbled and tangled, forming the shape of giant green and red pythons. They chased after them with clouds of dust, forming a dense net filled with murderous intent. In just a few moments, Bai Yuan and his group were in danger several times and were almost caught in this net.

Fortunately, the white tiger belongs to the cat family and has a fast enough reaction speed; plus Bai Yuan had secretly bitten the tip of her tongue and used her blood essence to activate the secret method of "One Hundred Solutions to Taming Beasts", which made the white tiger's strength increase rapidly; and Ji Tingxue held a sharp blade and swung the sword from time to time to cut off the vines attacking from both sides, which prevented them from falling into the desperate situation of being surrounded on all sides.

One chases the other.

Several people passed through the cover of heavy trees and returned to the place they had just seen. Then, the three of them scanned the surroundings with six eyes and caught a glimpse of a vague fleeing shadow from the vast sea of ​​trees.

"That is……"

Just a glimpse.

Bai Yuan and Ji Tingxue simultaneously saw its appearance—a humanoid monster made from countless baby hands, each with a mouth full of sharp teeth. Its "legs," also made of hands, were now rapidly burrowing into a hollow in a large tree.

"Big White!"

Bai Yuan patted the tiger's neck.

The white tiger immediately opened its mouth and let out a deep roar: "Roar--!!!"

then……

Suddenly, a massive beast-shaped totem appeared in front of the giant creature. Like the ramming horn of a warship, it slammed the three people on its back into the towering ancient tree. With a resounding roar like a bell, the white tiger was knocked unconscious. A huge crack appeared on the trunk of the tree, and then it slowly broke apart.

In the cracked tree hole.

The humanoid monster leaped out again, its countless baby-like hands dancing wildly, their mouths opening and emitting bursts of shrieking sounds like infants crying. These shrieks transformed into substantial waves of sound, overlapping and swarming from mid-air, causing Bai Yuan and the others to feel dizzy and even bleed from all seven orifices.

but.

At this moment, Bai Yuan raised his hand and threw the [Linglong Dice].

The pale golden dice rose slightly into the air, and the six sides with ancient seal characters spun at high speed. When it fell into the white palm again, it had already settled on the word "seal".

The moment the dice surface appears.

Countless transparent threads emerged from Bai Yuan's palm, pouring out like a rainstorm. In a blink of an eye, they enveloped the space within a hundred feet. Within this space, everything was connected and entangled by the threads, frozen in time.

Although everything began to move again the next instant, their movements had become extremely slow, and their aura had greatly weakened. The roots, branches, vines, and even the fleeing humanoid monster seemed to have entered slow motion.

Only Bai Yuan and his group's movements were as fast as lightning!

The distance of seventy feet was shortened in an instant.

When the two sides passed each other, Bai Yuan and Ji Tingxue slashed out with swords at the same time.

Ye Shuang'er also had an "innate Gu pattern" appear between her eyebrows, giving birth to a large number of Gu worms, which rolled towards the humanoid monster like a purple-black storm.

Swish——! !

Two sword lights, one blue and one white, fell on the humanoid monster from the left and right sides, tearing most of its baby-like hands.

Then, a dense swarm of poisonous insects attacked and drilled into it through its countless mouths. In the blink of an eye, they filled the body of this thing, and even its skin turned purple and black. Finally, with a "bang", it exploded into a pool of blood!

Om-! !

Almost immediately after the humanoid monster exploded into a pool of blood, a large number of ripples spread out in all directions. Wherever the ripples passed, all sounds disappeared.

Although the roots and vines there were still moving, and the dust raised by the fallen trees was also flying high, no sound was heard anymore, as if the entire world had become silent.

This silence made some ancient trees that had just been awakened stunned for a moment, and they seemed a little at a loss.

"division……"

Ye Shuang'er opened her mouth, but no sound came out either. One could only tell from her lip movements that she was calling "Master", as if she wanted to ask what was happening.

Bai Yuan also mouthed back:

"It's 'Xisheng Yao'."

——This is a unique monster in the [Cangwu Abyss] that can use sound as food, swallow and store it, and then release it when needed.

As Bai Yuan spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed the remaining half of the humanoid monster's corpse that was filled with poisonous insects. He then wrapped it in a piece of rag and threw it into the storage ring. Then he gave Baihu the order to evacuate through the [Concentric Ring].

At this time, the dice surface of the [Linglong Dice] was still glowing faintly.

This also means that the "seal" technique is still in effect.

Thus, a strange speed bump suddenly appeared wherever the three people and the tiger passed. Although the vines and trees continued to try to intercept them, their movements were disjointed, one fast and one slow. In other words, the trees moved in slow motion, while Bai Yuan and the others moved at lightning speed.

We passed through a sea of ​​trees all the way.

It was not until the "seal" spell began to lose its effect that a faint light finally appeared at the end of the group's sight, which seemed to be a sign that they were about to leave the sea of ​​trees.

Bai Yuan slapped the tiger's neck again.

Driven by her will, the white tiger under her flapped its wings a few times. While the surrounding trees had not yet reacted, it shot towards the direction of the light like a white stream of light. The towering ancient trees behind it only realized it after they passed by and began to riot, making bursts of earth-shaking noises.

Rumbling--

At this moment, a sudden warning filled Bai Yuan's heart, causing her to glance back almost instinctively. She saw a particularly huge and sharp tree root suddenly standing out from the sea of ​​trees. The reddish-brown root tip turned into a spear, hurled at her with indescribable speed and power!

The moment you sense danger.

Bai Yuan stood up and sprayed a mouthful of blood from the tip of his tongue onto the "Star Track Talisman Formation", pushing the formation to its extreme, protecting himself and Ye Shuang'er and the others firmly within it.

clang--! ! !

The collision between the tip of the spear and the star track array caused a roar like a huge bell. The milky white air waves turned into circles of shock ripples that rolled around, mixed with countless hard "spear" fragments, which shot at the surrounding trees like bullets, creating holes the size of a human head!

This single strike was enough to reach the level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm! It caused many of the starlight in the "Star Track Talisman Formation" to violently shake!

However, this move also gave Bai Yuan and others a push to some extent.

next second.

The three of them were carried by the white tiger under them, rushing out of the woods and arriving at the other side of the white world outside.

Almost as soon as they emerged from the woods, the vines and trees that had been chasing them suddenly stopped moving. Then, the crystal-like tree roots retreated into the ground one by one, and the vines retreated back into the trunks like an inverted image. Finally, even the upturned soil closed up again.

This is of course also the result of the "rules." Even these strange trees cannot escape the constraints of the rules.

Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and then looked forward.

This is a white wasteland.

But the white color was not the color of the soil, but came from a layer of fine, bone-meal-like powder covering the ground.

Atop the "bone powder" lay a faint trace of messy footprints, seemingly those of three humans and one beast. The beast's footprints were particularly large, with a long gap between the front and back prints, suggesting they belonged to a giant beast exceeding ten meters in length.

Three people, one beast.

Ye Shuang'er turned her head to look at Bai Yuan, a hint of fear showing on her face - this combination was really hard to explain as a coincidence, but rather seemed like some kind of foreshadowing.

or……

(Could it be that we’ve been here before and just don’t remember?)

The little girl had this thought in her mind, but she didn't dare say it out loud - when there was already disorder in space, it seemed normal to have a little disorder in time.

Bai Yuan didn't say anything, just stared at the footprints, then looked in the direction they extended, all the way to the depths of the wasteland - just like the forest just now, there was no end in sight here, as if the whole world was filled with this wasteland, and the pale color made people feel uneasy.

"Let's go."

"Since there's no other direction, let's go in the direction these footprints lead. Perhaps... we'll find something unexpected."

Bai Yuan spoke softly.

Ye Shuang'er naturally would not object to her.

It was also Ji Tingxue's first time to come to such a strange place. She didn't have any special thoughts and quickly nodded to show her agreement.

So, the group moved forward again.

As they passed by and walked away, the footprints on the wilderness began to change shape, gradually outlining the shape of four ancient seal characters - "善、入、者、死"!

……

"...It seems like someone came in?"

At this moment.

The other side of the wasteland.

In front of a stone tablet several dozen feet high.

The two figures were sitting opposite each other about a hundred meters apart.

In the middle of them, there is a white translucent chessboard, and on the chessboard are black and red chess pieces.

These "chess pieces" are actually made of the bone powder all over the ground.

The two players, one with black robes and spiritual energy, looked like a piece of coal freshly dug from the ground, while the other was completely red, like a ghost crawling out of a pool of blood. Both players had wrapped their spiritual energy around the chess pieces, creating the two different colors and textures: red and black.

At this point, the game seemed to have been going on for an eternity. Red's dragon had already taken shape, while Black was losing ground, with most of its pieces being devoured.
