Chapter 963: Chapter 963: The Shocking Appearance of the Wood Demon
"After I go back, I will investigate why Master Xuanming is targeting you. anwhile, you must protect yourself while you’re outside."
Nie Xiaoyu thought about it and felt that this was the only way to help Chen Nan while delaying Master Xuanming, preventing him from sending people to hunt Chen Nan.
On the other hand, she would strive to cultivate hard and surpass Master Xuanming, so that by then, he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
As for leaving with Chen Nan and breaking away from the Yuantian Sect, she currently had no such intention.
After all, the Yuantian Sect could provide him with the best cultivation resources, while obtaining resources outside was not that easy.
Didn’t you see those Loose Cultivators having to risk their lives just to get resources?
Moreover, even Chen Nan would not agree to take Nie Xiaoyu away.
By his side, Nie Xiaoyu’s safety couldn’t be guaranteed, so staying in the Yuantian Sect was the best choice for now.
"Don’t worry, I won’t be in any danger." Chen Nan smiled and patted Nie Xiaoyu’s head, "One day, I will co to the Yuantian Sect to fetch you with honor."
"I will definitely make Master Xuanming pay the price at that ti!"
"I believe in you!" Nie Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, "I will always be waiting for you!"
Off to the side, Tang Zhirou perked up her ears, shivering a bit, and made an exaggerated expression.
"Ugh, it’s so mushy, I’ve got goosebumps."
Nie Xiaoyu smiled slightly, tilting her head to look at Chen Nan, "Is this another romantic debt you’ve left behind?"
"Bleh! What romantic debt? I’m his rival!"
Tang Zhirou retorted imdiately, as if her hair had bristled.
But her deanor indicated her guilty conscience.
"I... I’m going to clean up the battlefield!"
Nie Xiaoyu’s gaze seed to see through people’s hearts, leaving Tang Zhirou unable to hold her stance, and she could only find an excuse to flee embarrassingly.
"I haven’t done anything!"
Chen Nan shrugged, indicating that there was nothing between him and Tang Zhirou.
"It’s okay," Nie Xiaoyu sat next to Chen Nan, tilting her head gently on his shoulder, "Having you co for
is already my greatest fortune."
Both of them cherished the rare ti together, knowing that after leaving the Ancient Realm Secret Realm, they would have to pretend to be strangers again.
After spending so ti together, Nie Xiaoyu took the Healing Pills, and Chen Nan helped her refine the dicinal power.
As expected of a Sixth Grade Elixir, it wasn’t long before Nie Xiaoyu’s injuries were completely healed.
Chen Nan wore his conical hat and face veil again, and then he and Nie Xiaoyu entered the next room.
They didn’t know how many treasures were hidden here, and they didn’t want them all snatched away by others.
"The Water Moon Palace seems to have nine layers in total, with different spaces on each layer, containing many treasures, but most of them are protected by restrictions."
"We were ambushed by Gui Li and the others when we tried to break the restrictions before."
Saying this, they arrived at the next layer, which turned out to be a forest.
Amidst the thick ancient trees, there was a winding path.
Nie Xiaoyu led the way familiarly, bringing Chen Nan and the others to a wooden cabin in the forest.
Although it was built from wood and looked like a two-story cabin from the outside, its internal space was quite large.
The cabin had a dozen or so rooms, including a living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, and even a tearoom and study.
Behind the cabin, there was a courtyard attached, like a spacious forest villa!
Unfortunately, the house was in complete disarray, with furniture overturned everywhere, looking utterly chaotic.
The places originally holding treasures had been violently destroyed, and several corpses could even be seen on the ground.
Judging from the attire on the corpses, it was apparent that these individuals were disciples of the Yuantian Sect.
Chen Nan intentionally moved aside to observe the wooden cabin, leaving this space for Nie Xiaoyu, as these people were at least her fellow disciples, and he couldn’t stop Nie Xiaoyu from collecting their corpses.
"If only this wooden house could be taken away."
Looking at the cabin, Chen Nan casually sighed, as its design perfectly suited his tastes.
If he could return to such a house anyti to rest, his mood would be much better.
But he knew that ordinary storage bags couldn’t possibly hold the cabin, let alone take it away.
Looking at the corpses of her fellow disciples, Nie Xiaoyu couldn’t help but sigh, waving her hand to collect all the corpses into her storage bag, intending to bring them back to the Yuantian Sect.
There were no treasures left in the house, and after a search, Chen Nan and the others walked out of the cabin.
Just after exiting, they sensed sothing was amiss as a large tree happened to be blocking the entrance.
"I rember there was no tree at the entrance."
Tang Zhirou stepped forward and patted the tree, looking puzzled.
But as she turned around, her eyes suddenly widened.
"The wooden house... the wooden house is alive!"
The group turned simultaneously, seeing the cabin rise from the ground, with dense, thick vines below, resembling a massive green octopus!
The vines burst out of the ground with a "bang bang," rushing directly toward Chen Nan and his group, as if the cabin had co to life and was attacking the intruders.
Tang Zhirou sidestepped and dodged, summoning her longsword and slashing at the vine.
But she didn’t expect that her strike only left a scratch on the vine.
"So hard!"
Beside her, Xuan Hui was equally astonished. Such a bizarre situation was sothing he encountered for the first ti. He quickly enveloped himself in Buddha Light.
The vine pierced into the Buddha Light, its speed slowing down before gradually stopping an inch in front of Xuan Hui’s eyes, with barbs on the vine clearly visible.
Chen Nan and Nie Xiaoyu also dodged continuously, but the vines were too dense. Chen Nan could only summon the Wind Roar Sword, cutting through a large area of vines with a single slash.
But soon, the vines grew back again, as if they could never be completely eliminated.
When they tried to escape, the vines erected walls around them like a cage, enclosing them in the middle.
An alard demon beast suddenly broke into the vine’s range, and a vine, resembling a javelin, pierced into its mouth, lifting it up.
Within a few breaths, the demon beast was drained into a dry corpse, its essence completely absorbed.
This scene made Chen Nan and the others grow increasingly grim.
"Damn it, what is this thing? A demon beast or a plant?"
Tang Zhirou gritted her teeth, struggling against the vines, her face extrely unsightly, with vines already entangling her leg, but she couldn’t cut through them.
Xuan Hui furrowed his brows deeply, surrounded by vines, gradually forming a green "cocoon."
"If this monk’s mory serves, this thing should be a Wood Demon, a wood elental creature, possessing astounding life force, capable of absorbing the vital essence of other beings."
"Wood Demon? How do we deal with it?"
"Right, fire counters wood, use fire to deal with it!"
