Chapter 2726: Give Way
The dancing tree branches grabbed at her like ghost claws, and at the same time, the tree trunk opened a big hole, like there was a mouth within the tree, and there were sharp fangs inside it.
“Awooo…”
A ghostly howl that sounded like a cry sounded through the forest, and the dancing tree branches tried to sweep her into the big mouth that was open and oozing blood and juices.
When Feng Jiu saw this, Blue Edge appeared with a flash and she slashed out with her sword. The outstretched branch was cut off and fell to the ground. However, as soon as the tree branch was cut off, new buds grew and rushed out suddenly.
There were too many tangled branches around and their speed was very fast. She was unable to react in time and her foot was tangled and she was hung upside down in the air. The branches below stretched out and wrapped around her.
When she saw that the branches regenerated upon being chopped off, spirit energy surged in her body and she swiped her finger across Blue Edge. A flame burst out suddenly and permeated the long sword. As she swung the sword, the flames burned and the branches stopped growing.
The branch that was wrapped around her foot was about to throw her into the open mouth when she cut the branch that had entangled her foot. At the same time, her hand raised and a flame burst out and headed toward the bloodthirsty mouth below.
“Woos.h.!.+ Bang!”
She only heard the sound of the flames rising below and a loud noise. The flames burnt the exposed mouth black and the smell of the burning radiated out, accompanied by a stench.
“Awooo…awooo!”
…
As if it was screaming, the tree gradually withered, and all the dancing branches hung down as if they had lost their vitality.
It made it easier for Feng Jiu to deal with them once she had discovered the fatal points of the trees. In less than half an hour, one by one, the trees closed their mouths and the dancing branches stretched backwards not daring to touch her.
Feng Jiu glanced at this, then put the long sword in her hand away. She flicked her robe and brushed off the red leaves on her shoulders, then she walked forward. The branches that were blocking her way in front automatically made way for her. From the looks of it, the roots of the trees were unable to move, otherwise they would have probably pulled the roots up and hidden away from her.
In the mangrove forest, the red leaves drifted with the wind and fell to the ground. On the path where the large tree had made way for the red figure, the red figure walked slowly, as if stepping on wind. Her robes fluttered lightly and so did her ink coloured hair, like a fairy that had come down to the mortal world. Her back seemed to be integrated with the surroundings and was already as beautiful as a painting…
However, with the arrival of the evening, the gloomy and cold air inside the forest became more and more intense. The ground was covered with red leaves, and wisps of ghosts condensed suddenly and followed behind Feng Jiu but were unable to get close.
Feng Jiu, who had been walking slowly, seemed aware of it. She stopped and looked back, and at the same time, the ghosts hid quickly.
As she looked at the yin qi that permeated through the forest, her eyes flashed slightly and she said coldly: “You better not follow me, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude!”
Her icy voice spread out with a powerful pressure and shook the fallen leaves of the forest. The ghosts who were hiding glanced faintly at her, then retreated.
