Chapter 67 -65: Liu Rong Visits the Demons!? Chu Feng’s Retreat Blocked
As soon as the figure in black finished speaking, he immediately held his breath.
After a long while, there was no response.
Just as the figure in black frequently looked up to observe, suddenly there was movement on the open ground!
The earth underfoot began to shake slowly, and amid the thunderous rumbling, a mound slowly rose in the center of the open ground.
Then, from the mound, a dark red branch suddenly protruded.
In the middle of the branch, there was a tightly closed eye.
In the shocked gaze of the figure in black, it suddenly opened, revealing a dull yellow eyeball!
The center of the eyeball was a dark vertical pupil staring directly at the figure in black.
In an instant, the entire clearing, including the surrounding blood-colored trees, fell into dead silence!
All the foliage of the trees stopped swaying, and all the Wraith Demons lay on the ground, silent.
A towering fear dispersed through the air.
Without physical oppression, the immense psychological pressure almost overcame the figure in black, who slowly knelt on the ground.
A long time later.
The dull yellow pupils slowly closed, and only then did the pressure in the air begin to dissipate.
The surrounding trees began to sway their branches again, and those Bloodskin Ghost Demons all faced the clearing and crawled backward to leave.
Whether it was a psychological effect or not, the figure in black seemed to hear many sighs of relief coming from around.
At that moment, an ancient voice suddenly came out of nowhere, asking in difficult Longhua Language, “Speak—”
The figure in black hurriedly took out a communication terminal from his pocket, opening it with trembling fingers.
Next, another figure dressed in a black robe appeared in the holographic projection.
The figure in the projection said gravely, “Mother Tree, our plan has been set in motion, the new signal code is in this terminal, and the person has been sent in.
“It’s time to deliver on what you promised us!”
The air once again fell into silence, and after a long while, the ancient voice of the Mother Tree sounded again:
“Sacrifice…arrived—item…deliver…as…agreed…location—”
The figure in the black robe was silent for a moment before saying, “I thought we had already agreed. I send the person in, you give me the item.”
After another long while, the ancient voice repeated: “Sacrifice…arrived—item…deliver—”
The figure in the black robe slowly nodded, his voice heavy, carrying a hint of threat: “Fine, but I don’t want there to be a next time.
“We have other partners, not just you. We can cooperate with you or destroy you!”
The pause was even longer this time before the ancient voice spoke again, “Alright…this…person—”
The figure in the black robe shrugged, and with a laugh said offhandedly to the stunned figure in black: “A little gift, for you!”
After that, with a snap, the holographic projection immediately disappeared.
“No! Commissioner! Bastard! Li Dongyu!”
The figure in black was terrified, abruptly pulling off the hood on her head to reveal a head of graying hair.
It was Ding Bowen’s mother, Liu Rong!
This woman’s face was ferocious, tears streaming down, her eyes filled with extreme fear.
She clenched the communication terminal tightly with both hands, her fingernails broken, frantically tapping on the blackened screen, and shrieked:
“Li Dongyu, you bastard! You told me there was no danger or I wouldn’t have come!
“You and Chen Fei promised me, let me personally kill Chu Feng to avenge Bowen!”
“You…argh…argh…”
“Pssh!”
Liu Rong was hysterically screaming when she suddenly froze in place, her bloodshot eyes staring blankly at the ground.
From the dark brown earth beneath her feet, a bloody root suddenly extended, piercing directly through her throat!
Blood slowly flowed along the root, rapidly absorbed by it.
Liu Rong’s vision plunged into darkness, and just before she completely lost consciousness, she heard the ancient voice rise again, now tinged with irritation:
“Too… noisy…!”
The next instant, Liu Rong’s body suddenly began to shrink rapidly, her skin tightening over her skull, revealing its shape.
Then her skull also shrank, from the size of a cantaloupe to that of an apple, then to a kiwi, a lychee…
In less than three seconds, her entire person had disappeared into thin air!
Her black clothes, now unsupported, collapsed softly onto the dark red tree roots.
The tree roots withdrew back into the ground with a whoosh, and the black clothes fell to the ground, with Liu Rong completely vanished within them.
The next second, the entire clearing began to tremble violently!
“Boom!”
…
“Boom!”
“Did you hear that?!”
Chu Feng suddenly stood still, ears perked up, frowning as he stared into the depths of the forest.
A bad premonition surfaced in his heart, as if some danger were erupting from deep within the forest.
Yet he couldn’t pinpoint what kind of danger it was, and could only remain inwardly alert.
“Heard it, could it be an earthquake?” Wang Erbao simply lay down on the ground, listening to the movements below.
Chu Feng rolled his eyes: “Are you even listening? And you’re laying on the ground to listen!
“You’d be impressive if you can hear anything within a radius of five hundred meters.”
Wang Erbao got up grudgingly, spat and said, “Who knows what it is.
“Speaking of which, today is freaking weird!
“On the road, a — what’s it called — a Bloodskin Ghost Demon, right, didn’t run into a single one!”
Mentioning this, Chu Feng also began to grow irritated.
He had been cautiously exploring the Blood Tree Demon Realm with Wang Erbao, hoping to kill a few Wraith Demons to earn some Attribute Points.
The heck, not running into a single one was just absurd!
Not only them, but even the Demon Hunters they met on the road were cursing and swearing.
An entire morning went by without a single gain!
It was as if those things had purposely gone into hiding!
At the moment, the two of them were at the southeastern edge of the Demon Realm, quite far from the Human Race stronghold, and visibility through the fog dwindled to less than 50 meters.

All around were large trees that could be embraced with one hand, their thick canopies covering the daylight, and under the swirling milky fog, everything looked dark and ominous.
Even more bizarre was that the bark of these trees was also blood red.
Chu Feng asked some passing Hunters, who explained that these were just ordinary trees, not the Blood Tree Demons that could be cut down for money.
But no one knew why these large trees had not died in the dark, sunless environment of the Demon Realm.
Instead, they grew vigorously, their exteriors assuming such a terrifying appearance.
Wang Erbao cautiously stared at the shadows of branches and leaves dancing chaotically like a mob of demons, and whispered, “What shall we do?”
Chu Feng thought for a moment: “Let’s head back to the stronghold first, find out what’s going on. I always feel like…”
“Ah—”
Before he could finish speaking, a scream came from the path they had arrived on.
Immediately followed by sounds of intense battle, mixed with the roars of martial artists and the familiar bellows of Bloodskin Ghost Demons!
Chu Feng shivered, looked towards the path they had come, and shouted lowly, “Let’s check it out!”
With that, his feet tapped the swift wind, and he rushed towards the scene.
He couldn’t help but be nervous; the stronghold was to the west, and they had followed this direction when they came, intending to return for repairs; naturally, the most convenient way back was the way they had come.
If their retreat was blocked, they would have to find another safe path.
But it was strange, it was very quiet when they came.
How could a battle have broken out behind them in the blink of an eye?
