Chapter 291: Demon Tree
Soon, he arrived in front of a huge patch of tall grass.
The terrifying aspect of the Desert is that something could be hidden beneath the sand, making it very difficult for people to detect what lies below.
Once one falls into a demon's territory, they will suffer devastating blows, and there is nowhere that is absolutely safe.
And a wide valley like this, covered in tall grass, is also extremely dangerous; the grass is taller than a person, and when one looks up, the sky is reduced to a mere palm-sized patch.
Walking forward requires pushing aside dense curtains of grass, and all around there is mostly grass, so one cannot even see if something is approaching.
Although Mo Fan wanted to set a fire, he also knew that there must be humans here.
After all, quite a few Hunter Mages entered this time.
Looking up, he saw white fluff appearing from all directions, and could even see them rising into the air from a corner of a certain forest, carried by some kind of wind, then slowly drifting towards this wide grassy valley!
White dandelions danced lightly in the windless sky above Outer Kunyu Mountain, fluttering like wisps of clouds, like snow-white birds migrating silently.
The entire sky of Outer Kunyu Mountain was azure blue, pure to the extreme.
When more and more white fluff flew up, gathering as if called to a certain place, this scene, if taken in completely, was dreamlike and beautiful to the extreme, a breathtaking natural spectacle that could only be witnessed in the primitive Outer Kunyu Mountain!
However, beneath the beautiful scenery, slaughter was concealed!
Many Hunter Mages could not distinguish dandelions, but even the most inexperienced people who came here knew that if they saw white fluff drifting in Outer Kunyu Mountain, they should immediately follow it; those were the cutest little sprites guiding them to find the money tree, and they must seize the opportunity!
Countless dandelions flew up as if in response, heading towards this Kunyu grassy valley.
Without even seeing it, one could infer that as this scene unfolded, those gold-panning Hunter Mages scattered throughout Outer Kunyu Mountain would also surge towards this place as if called.
Mo Fan, with flames burning all over him, directly advanced inside.
What he had to do next was to rush to the designated location and wait for the Demon Tree to make its move.
Waiting for Yan Shi and her companions to arrive!
With Mo Fan's strength, there were not many twists and turns along the way.
Pushing aside the dense Kunyu grass, Mo Fan gradually entered the shade of the trees that covered the sky.
Although the branches of the Tian Guan Zi Duan Divine Tree were like a jungle maze, they were not so thick as to completely block out the sunlight; otherwise, at this stage of its canopy, it would be enough to shroud the world in complete darkness!
Occasionally, some light would still penetrate through the entire Tian Guan Zi Duan Divine Tree, scattering down.
The usual light, covering a large area, is easily overlooked, but after being filtered by the plant's branches and leaves into beams, one would realize that sunlight has always been the most beautiful natural scene.
The terrain ahead began to rise, like a gentle small hill, but in fact, it was not the ground slowly ascending; rather, he was approaching the Tian Guan Zi Duan Divine Tree, whose entire base, where its trunk was embedded in the soil, was like a hill!
A casual root, winding around, was as wide as a City street, and walking along the many bottom roots, one would still have to walk for one or two kilometers to fully reach the main trunk!
The main trunk of the Tian Guan Zi Duan Divine Tree seemed to be made of many huge trees twisted together, with very large textures and spiral vines.
Here, there were also hundreds of Mountain Men gathered, and even a bronze-skinned Mountain Men leader.
"Pee-pee-pee!!!"
When it saw Mo Fan, it sensed the scent of blood on him, and immediately, it roared, and at the same time, batch after batch of Mountain Men appeared!
Here alone, there were actually several thousand of them.
Mo Fan naturally had no trouble dealing with these Mountain Men.
However, once a large-scale slaughter was created, the Demon Tree would probably not remain indifferent.
After they finished off these Mountain Men here, it would probably make a move immediately and then devour all living creatures here.
Mo Fan alone was not an opponent for the Demon Tree.
It would be completely unworthy for him to use his trump card for it.
So, Mo Fan did not make a move.
Instead, after killing some Mountain Men, he climbed up along the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree and soon discovered that the main trunk had also branched out into many branches in different directions.
Although these branched off from the main trunk, their thickness was still extremely exaggerated, and their tops could not be seen.
Mo Fan found a place to hide and waited quietly.
Connecting Inner Kunyu Mountain and Outer Kunyu Mountain was a long wooden suspension bridge, and this end of the bridge was guarded by military personnel.
At this time, several thousand people had already gathered on the small slope outside the suspension bridge; these were Hunter Mages determined to dig for gold here.
There were many large Purple Linden Trees in Outer Kunyu Mountain, and if one was lucky enough to encounter a few, it was easy to earn millions of income.
Even some inexperienced Hunter Mages could get a share, so they were eager to rush into Outer Kunyu Mountain and extensively search for those golden leaves!
But at this time, entry was not allowed.
For a while, many Hunter Mages were clamoring.
Thousands of people were roaring there, full of resentment, and the City administration was already somewhat unable to control the situation.
After some pushing and shoving, the Hunter Mages at the front even showed signs of wanting to act.
Once magical energy surged, things would become difficult to handle.
Although conflicts between independent mages and the Mage Association, City administration, and Wei Fang rarely occurred in the country, blocking someone's path to wealth was equivalent to killing their parents, and the resentment of those Hunter Mages was already somewhat uncontrollable!
"Who is causing trouble!!!"
Just as the Hunter Mages were about to force their way in, a majestic voice exploded like a giant thunderclap in a clear sky.
Only four words fell, but each word resonated like an incredibly heavy bronze bell in everyone's spiritual world.
For a moment, those mages who were preparing to take advantage of the chaos were all left with ringing ears and blurred vision, unable to cast even half a spell!
Accompanied by the deafening sound of powerful sound-element magic, everyone quieted down.
However, one person alone naturally could not suppress so many people.
"Nie Lengshan, don't use your status and strength to pressure us.
We just want to go in and get rich.
These damn guys must have taken money from other Hunter Mages to prevent us from entering, and they even made up such a bad excuse..." The Hunter Mage at the front said, still arrogant.
"All of you open your dog eyes and see what this is!" Nie Lengshan casually threw a bag of things onto the ground.
The bag was not tied tightly, and the hard objects inside spilled out all at once.
The agitated Hunter Mages looked, and to their surprise, found blood-stained upward-pointing fangs.
The white upward-pointing fangs were scattered, and one Hunter Mage went to open the entire bag, only to find a head inside—a Mountain Men's head!
"Now, a large tribe of Mountain Men has appeared in Outer Kunyu Mountain.
They are using demon crown leaves to ambush you idiots who are greedy for money.
The number of deaths has exceeded two hundred.
These are photos of the deceased brought back by some Hunter Mages; take them and see for yourselves!" Nie Lengshan took out the evidentiary photos from his Pregnant and casually scattered them towards the Hunter Mages who were leading the trouble.
