"Cat of Fate, you finally showed your face . " Seeing the running black cat, a trace of joy appeared in AlJohn's eyes .

With the Book of Gods in his hands, AlJohn was searching for the black cat under the guidance of the gods .

The black cat was not simple . It was once a cat that lived with the Sky God, and it possessed the ability to see the future .

"Qingfeng Li, I will kill you after I capture the Cat of Fate . " AlJohn casted a cold glance at Qingfeng Li before entering the ancient forest .

Black Puppy seemed to know the kitten . It said anxiously to Qingfeng Li, "Let's go in there now . We must capture the Cat of Fate because it possesses magic powers and can lead us to the Spring Water of Life . "

In the ancient era, Black Puppy was the spirit beast of the East and swept through the eastern self-cultivation world while the Cat of Fate was the spirit beast of the West who swept through the western self-cultivation world . They had battled once and ended in a draw .

Black Puppy was very familiar with the capabilities of the Cat of Fate and knew that they must prevent the Red Cloaked Cardinal from getting the cat .

At Black Puppy's words, Qingfeng Li realized the importance of the issue . They must get the cat since it was a key factor concerning the Spring Water of Life .

"Let's go in . " With a wave of his hand, Qingfeng Li led the group toward the ancient forest .

They walked fast and entered the forest shortly . The moment they were in there, Qingfeng Li felt a smothering presence .

The trees in the ancient forest were as tall as 500 meters, blocking all the sunshine overhead .

It was total darkness in the forest so it was fortunate that Qingfeng Li had asked Bernard to prepare large quantities of supplies, including torches and flashlights .

Qingfeng Li switched on a flashlight and continued on his way, while the rest took out torches .

The torches were used to drive away some demonic beasts that were afraid of the fire while flashlights could give light to the way in the distance .

From the depth of the dark trees surrounding Qingfeng Li, dozens of green light beams appeared .

"Boss, it doesn't feel right . Something's watching us," seeing the surrounding light beams, Daoist said nervously .

"I know . They are demonic beasts . You must be careful," Qingfeng Li said with a slight frown .

At his words, the members of the Wolf Fang Team looked around cautiously . They had been scouts before and knew that ancient forests were the most dangerous places .

Qingfeng Li walked forward with a torch in hand . He was responsible for leading the way and sensing if there were any dangers with his spirit energy .

Suddenly, his expression changed since he sensed a sharp dangerous aura ahead, which made his whole body break out with goosebumps .



But when he looked, he could see nothing .

"Daoist, shine ahead with your flashlight and see if there is something there," frowning, Qingfeng Li said to Daoist, who was walking beside him .

Daoist nodded and shone the flashlight in front of them . It was a super flashlight that could illuminate a distance of 2,000 meters with a battery lasting 24 hours . They could see clearly everything within the distance of 2,000 meters .

Qingfeng Li looked out and saw nothing except trees . There were neither demonic beasts nor poisonous pests .

Qingfeng Li frowned with bafflement .

He had sensed dangers ahead but could see nothing of the kind . It was weird .

Qingfeng Li gestured for everyone to stop and looked closely .

This time, he finally noticed the difference between the trees ahead and the trees on the sides .

The trees on both sides were black while the trees ahead were a dark red color, unnoticeable without close observation .

"There is a bloody smell in the red trees," Black Puppy said, twitching its nose .

It had a sensitive nose and smelled something weird .



The smell of blood?

A trace of surprise appeared in Qingfeng Li's eyes . He walked forward several steps and did smell a faint scent of blood, so faint that an ordinary person would not notice it .

"There is danger in the trees . " Qingfeng Li warned everyone to be careful .

He tried to lead them to another direction but found dangers there too .

In every direction, there were dozens of pairs of eyes watching the, shining with a greedy green light and filled with a primal hunger .

"Boss, we are surrounded . Which direction do we go?" Daoist asked with a frown .

Besides Daoist, the others had all found they were in danger .

They all looked at Qingfeng Li, waiting for his decision .

After a moment's consideration, Qingfeng Li said, "Since there are dangers in all directions, we will walk ahead because our purpose is to cross the ancient forest . We can only go forward . "

Qingfeng Li led the way with Wolf Fang Team in the middle and Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake and the Fire Wolf King taking the end .

The three demonic beasts were all very powerful and could frighten away the demonic beasts behind them .

Qingfeng Li had walked 100 meters when his expression changed . He saw a white skeleton under a big red tree .

The skeleton belonged to a human and the terrifying presence and power emitting from it startled Qingfeng Li .

He deduced that the skeleton belonged to a Spirit King Realm master, whose blood, flesh, skin, and organs became nutrients for the ancient red tree . It was a terrifying sight .

Hiss!

From the depths underground came a hissing sound . It was very faint, but Qingfeng Li heard it with his excellent hearing ability .

"Careful! There is something coming from underground!" Qingfeng Li warned the group with an urgent expression .

Swoosh!

The moment he gave the warning, a black thing shot up from the underground as quick as a lightning bolt and was upon Qingfeng Li in a blink of an eye .

Qingfeng Li's two fingers shot out and caught the black object instantly .

It was a hard piece of tree root with an extremely sharp end .

An ordinary self-cultivator would have been pierced by it if they were caught off guard but Qingfeng Li was different . He had cultivated the Mortal Purgatory Body, and with skin as hard as iron, he could easily block the attack of the sharp tree root .
