Chapter 311 How could he admit his mistake?
The sweet aroma wafted straight into one's nose, making one's mouth water.
Xiao Shu's eyes glazed over for a moment, and she involuntarily took a step in that direction.
"Little Tree!" Yun Feng shouted, tearing off a leaf from a nearby broad-leaved plant, rolling it into a tube, and swiftly striking Little Tree's outstretched wrist.
The sapling awoke with a start and recoiled abruptly.
Suddenly, several bright red berries burst open in the berry bush, spraying out viscous juice that landed on the nearby rocks with a hissing sound, corroding several small pits.
"Soul-Devouring Berry".
Yun Feng said in a deep voice, tossing aside the blackened and curled leaf in his hand, "The fragrance is alluring, but the sap is deadly poisonous."
The little tree patted its chest with lingering fear, and dared not look around again.
They continued on, more cautiously.
The island is small, but its terrain is complex, with winding paths and numerous forks in the road.
The song lingered, sometimes near, sometimes far, as if guiding, yet also as if bewildering.
After walking for about half an hour, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a clearing in the woods.
In the center of the open space was a small, crystal-clear pond, its water reflecting the full moon and the surrounding luminous plants, a beauty that seemed unreal.
Clumps of pale golden, bell-shaped flowers grow by the pool, swaying gently without wind, making a clear, tinkling sound that echoes the ethereal singing.
"It seems so peaceful here," the little tree murmured, drawn by the tinkling sound.
Yu Mo frowned, his eyes calmly scanning the surroundings: "It's too quiet."
Apart from the sounds of water and flowers, not even the chirping of insects could be heard here.
A sense of unease rose in Yun Feng's heart. He was about to suggest leaving when he heard a sound coming from the water.
The calm pool suddenly boiled, and seven or eight thick, slippery, dark tentacles burst out of the water, accompanied by a gust of evil wind, and swiftly swept towards the small tree standing at the front!
"Watch out!" Yu Mo and Yun Feng moved at the same time.
Yu Mo moved with lightning speed, instantly blocking the small tree.
Yun Feng threw out fireballs, which accurately hit the joints of the tentacles. Blackish-green slime splattered, and the tentacles recoiled in pain from the burns. But the next second, more tentacles attacked them.
At the same time, dozens of eerie green lights appeared in the shadows surrounding the open space.
Amidst deep growls, five or six beasts resembling cheetahs, with fur patterned like moonlight, slowly emerged and surrounded them.
The tentacle monster in the pool, along with these "moon leopards," instantly trapped them in the center.
"We've been ambushed," Yu Mo said calmly, as the three of them formed a triangular formation back to back.
Yun Feng's expression was solemn.
These wild beasts moved silently, lurking until now, cooperating seamlessly with the monster in the pool; clearly, this wasn't their first "hunt."
"Leave the left side to me!" Xiaoshu suddenly said, his voice trembling slightly but firm.
He quickly untied a small dark green cloth bag, dipped his fingers in some dark red powder, and then flung it onto the ground in front of him, chanting short syllables.
The powder seeped into the ground and the next moment, countless slender, dark green vines broke through the soil and grew wildly, instantly intertwining to form a wall that blocked the two moon leopards that were pouncing from the left!
"Quick! We won't be trapped for long!" Xiaoshu shouted urgently, sweat beading on his forehead.
Tentacles slapped, claws tore through the wind, vines creaked, and branches whipped and lashed wildly.
Yu Mo transformed into a python-like black mamba and took the initiative to meet the leopard directly in front of him, delivering a blow to its head.
The sapling stood guard beside Yun Feng, constantly scattering seeds. The vines instantly sprouted sharp thorns and brambles. Yun Feng threw a few fireballs at it, and the intertwined vines ignited as soon as they hit the ground, forming walls of fire.
The three worked together better and better.
The Black Mamba stopped fighting the leopard and finally seized an opening, its sharp fangs viciously piercing the leopard's throat.
The lead leopard howled and fell to the ground, causing the other moon leopards' attack to falter.
The waving of the water-filled tentacles also became much slower.
"Let's go!" Yun Feng shouted in a low voice, seizing the opportunity.
The Black Mamba swiftly retreated, its massive tail kicking up a cloud of water and dust that obscured its vision.
Without hesitation, the three of them turned and rushed back into the woods they had come from, leaving the roars of beasts and the splashing of water behind.
Only when they could no longer hear their sounds did the three stop behind a secluded rock, panting heavily.
They found a dry little cave nearby and took turns keeping watch and resting.
Outside the cave, the night at Illusion Moon Reef was not peaceful. Strange sounds could be faintly heard in the distance, and the ethereal singing voice lingered.
The secrets hidden in Phantom Moon Reef are gradually being revealed in their sinister form.
Just as Yun Feng was about to wake Yu Mo and Xiao Shu to discuss their next move, a muffled roar suddenly came from the depths of the island, accompanied by a strong energy fluctuation, which even made the cave where they were tremble slightly.
Yu Mo opened his eyes instantly, his dark pupils still clear in the dim light.
The little tree was also startled awake, rubbing its eyes as it sat up.
"A fight has broken out." Yu Mo listened intently. "It seems to be in the direction of the center of the island."
Yun Feng quickly made a judgment: "There is more than one very powerful orc."
The three quickly packed up and quietly slipped away.
------------
A blood-red barrier appeared out of thin air, as if tearing through space.
A figure staggered out of the barrier, clutching his left arm, blood dripping from between his fingers onto the ground.
It is a comet.
His face was pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were somewhat unfocused.
He steadied himself, immediately turned around, and tried to close the barrier.
But it was too late.
Another figure rushed out of the barrier and landed steadily on the ground.
He is a rich and noble child.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes fixed on Hui as if he wanted to devour him alive.
Hui, panting heavily, looked at Fugui'er and suddenly smiled, but the smile was so cold that it had no warmth at all.
"Fugui'er, I think you've gone mad!" His voice was hoarse. "Look carefully, who am I!"
Fu Gui'er spat out a mouthful of blood, gritted his teeth, and said, word by word, "How could I admit my mistake? I've already torn you to pieces a thousand times in my heart."
Hui sneered: "What? Do you think you've lived too long, or do you want Qinghan to be free from all this trouble?"
Mentioning Qinghan, Fugui'er's eyes instantly turned red: "You dare!"
"What wouldn't I dare to do?" Hui's smile deepened and grew colder. "Killing her is as easy as crushing an ant. The only reason I'm keeping her alive is to make you obedient."
He looked Fugui up and down as if admiring a piece of porcelain about to break.
“But you’re not obedient anymore.” Hui sighed, her tone filled with regret. “There’s no use keeping you around.”
Fu Gui'er clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh.
Comet laughed, the sound echoing eerily across the empty island.
“I knew there was something wrong with you, so I came in person.” He tilted his head, his eyes filled with mockery. “How could you crude orcs, whose minds are only filled with fighting and killing, possibly understand my strategic planning!”
