Chapter 219: A sheep not yet fat is not worth taking action against.
Seeing the opponent burst forth, Mo Fan directly gathered a Flame Sword!
The Blazing Flame Sword in his hand suddenly expanded, instantly becoming fifteen or sixteen meters long. Mo Fan raised it high above his head and slashed down with a mighty blow!
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Under the combined enhancement of two Soul Seeds, these strange trees suffered immense damage. The fiery sword body ripped through the Black Tree Demon's thick trunk, splitting it from the crown all the way to the roots. The domineering Soul Seed then dispersed with a fierce blaze, engulfing the entire strange tree!
Two colors of flames burned brightly, and the blood lake water was also stained the color of fiery red.
"Squeak squeak~~"
"Squeak squeak~~~!!!"
In the blood lake, all the long worm roots surfaced, covering it layer upon layer.
After losing the main body of the old tree spirit, these bloodsucking worms were like tracheas, one by one flipping over, and after a few seconds, they died on their own!
The corpses filled the blood lake. Mu Ningxue happened to walk over and her face turned a little pale at the sight. If such a terrifying monster appeared in a normal plane, wouldn't it be a bloodthirsty demon?
The blood lake served as nourishment, the worms as parasites, and then energy was transported to the Black Tree Spirit, forming a vast black forest!
The vastness of nature holds endless wonders. Such a survival method indeed made one feel a sense of lingering fear, especially for hunters who frequently traveled in the wilderness. If they didn't possess sufficiently Gaoyi cultivation, stepping into such a black forest would truly leave them with little chance of survival.
Many so-called humanitarians were highly critical of the potential dangers in the Treasure Hunt Competition. They believed that a competition should be just a competition, with no life-threatening risks, and even less should the entire world witness the direct deaths of some student mages in the Treasure Hunt Competition. However, this voice was forcefully suppressed by the Hunter Union.
Hunters walk on the edge of a knife, and the number of hunters who die each year is countless. If a mage, upon embarking on this path, has not prepared for the possibility of a tragic death at the hands of demons one day, then expending so many limited resources would merely make them a social parasite.
The demon crisis has always existed. The Hunter Union never wants people to view the world as so peaceful, thinking they can lord it over others while staying in the City. Even if cruel death scenes are presented, they are still facts. Mages inherently have no absolute safety; the more global a competition is, the more it should reflect reality!
This cobbled-together distorted space was a demon territory. Various terrifying demons and man-eating monsters were vividly displayed to people through the Eye Eagle.
After Mo Fan obtained the Yuan Crystal, he planned to leave with Mo Fan.
"Is it really appropriate for the two of you to just leave like this?" a mocking voice came from the side.
Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue turned at the same time, only to find a man with brownish-yellow long hair and four companions walking towards them from between the black trees.
Mu Ningxue glanced at their uniforms, which bore the national symbols of the United States and Canada.
"What, you want to fight?" Mo Fan sneered.
"Hmph, leave the items and you can go, otherwise…" The person hadn't finished speaking when he saw a fiery torrent of a fire dragon rushing towards them from Mo Fan!
For Mo Fan, there was naturally no need to be polite to people who wanted to snatch his belongings.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
However, these people were indeed not weak to be able to get here.
They managed to block Mo Fan's 'casual attack' with great difficulty.
And after one strike, Mo Fan directly took Mu Ningxue and left the place. He naturally had no need to fight them here, because they didn't have any resources on them yet.
No resources, not worthy of him making a move.
They still needed to play the role of little lambs for a while; only then would it be most appropriate for him to make a move and snatch their gains.
However, although Mo Fan had no intention of fighting, he naturally needed some resistance to stop them.
This was why he launched a wave of fire dragon bombardment, because during this period, Mu Ningxue had also released all the tree demons here from their restraints.
The moment the tree demons surrounded them, before Mu Ningxue could fly them away from here, he took Mu Ningxue and left proactively.
His Wind Element was not inferior to Mu Ningxue's!
And it was when Mo Fan took her away that Mu Ningxue truly realized Mo Fan's mastery in the Wind Element!
If she hadn't been familiar with Mo Fan since childhood, she might have even suspected if Mo Fan was the illegitimate son of some big shot?
Even if he could earn money to improve his cultivation now, it's important to remember, how did he manage it in the beginning?
His 'ordinary' family certainly couldn't support him through the basics. Moreover, even if he earned money, it would be impossible to fully equip every magic element to the top tier, right?
Very few people have the best configuration for several magic elements. Even Zhao Manyan, the son of the richest man in the country, doesn't have such conditions.
This isn't just about money; it also involves whether they have it or not. Natural Soul Seeds are not found everywhere!
Mo Fan being able to arm himself to the teeth in the intermediate stage, Mu Ningxue could still understand. But now that he was already Gaoyi, his magic elements were still top-tier in every aspect, which truly puzzled her.
Although she felt shocked and confused, if Mo Fan didn't say anything, she wouldn't delve into it.
The two of them quickly shook off the people behind them.
At this moment, Mu Ningxue asked, "Are we going to look for other people next or what?"
"Scavenge for treasures and rob others along the way," Mo Fan replied.
"Ah?" Mu Ningxue was stunned for a moment.
"The Treasure Hunt Competition didn't say we couldn't rob others. You won't get much resources by just searching. So, fighting and robbing at the same time is the most suitable approach," Mo Fan said.
"When I was in the air just now, I noticed quite a few people gathering on that mountain," Mu Ningxue pointed to the tall mountain ahead, half-obscured by black clouds.
"Then let's go," Mo Fan said immediately.
"Are we going? But I've already seen no less than four teams heading towards that mountain," Mu Ningxue said.
"Of course, robbing anyone is robbing. If internal robbing wasn't forbidden, I'd even rob Mu Tingying and her group," Mo Fan said bluntly.
Mu Ningxue's mouth twitched slightly, but she felt that Mo Fan was truly capable of doing such a thing.
He wouldn't tolerate a bitch acting arrogant just because she was a woman.
But undeniably, Mu Ningxue liked Mo Fan this way.
Her man, protecting her, regardless of whether the other party was male or female, taking action against those who wanted to harm her—why would she feel bad about that?
However, thinking of the number of people in the opposing team, she hesitated for a moment and said, "We can wear masks, change clothes, and so on. Although it might not completely hide anything, not being recognized for a short time will prevent us from being singled out by everyone…"
"While it's not necessary, if you like it, then let's do as you say," Mo Fan responded.
For Mo Fan, he truly didn't put these students in his eyes. His willingness to act was only due to Mu Ningxue's suggestion, as he didn't want to directly reject her.
But then again, with so few people, if they made a move, the people who were robbed would naturally be able to recognize them.
