Chapter 16 Blood Tree and Old Friends(1/2)

 With the previous abnormality, Yun Xi and others became more and more cautious in their subsequent actions.

They moved along the long blood river, targeting the towering blood tree that was taller than the Spirit-Traveling Tower.

“There are footprints.”

Not long after leaving, Li Zixiao suddenly said lightly.

Yun Xi followed her gaze and found that there were a few faint footprints by the river.

She looked at the footprints and compared her feet: "It should be male."

As she said that, she stepped on the side normally, and her footsteps fell a little, and her footprints were particularly obvious.

By comparing the two footprints, you can calculate that the owner of these footprints should have been here for some time.

Yun Xi said: "It should be more than one person, and he came a lot earlier than us. Pay attention to the surroundings."

After she said that, she took the lead.

Her eyes fell on the other side of the flowers, and the beautiful black and white flowers by the river were tightly closed. The buds were particularly attractive, making people want to know what kind of beautiful scenery the flowers will be after they bloom.

What kind of person is that he has the ability to close the flowers on the other side of the city?

Yun Xi frowned and was full of concern about the unknown.

They continued to move forward, and the scenery around them remained unchanged, including rivers, flowers, mounds, blood trees... If it weren't for the white bones and the increasingly tall towering blood trees that appeared at this time, Yun Xi would even wonder if the four of them were wandering around in circles.

"Yun Xi, so many bones."

Ying Nianling also saw the bones of those dead people and approached Yun Xi a little.

Yun Xi held her little hand and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm here."

She has rarely seen dead people, but strangely she doesn't seem to be afraid of death, perhaps because she has actually experienced death, or perhaps because of another hidden personality.

Holding Xiaoying, Yun Xi's eyes kept sweeping through the wasteland. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed and her steps slowed down.

Li Zixiao and the others also slowed down and looked in the direction Yun Xi was gaze.

It was a mound. The mangroves on the mound were smaller than what they saw along the way, and the luster on the leaves was dimmer, which looked a little out of place with the surroundings.

Of course, the most conspicuous thing is the ground next to the mangroves, where the land is churning, as if it had been renovated, and it was in a mess.

Yun Xi approached there and saw broken vine roots on the churned ground.

"This should be the means of attack by these mangroves. These trees have life. Someone provoked it before and then a fight broke out."

Yun Xi made a speculation, but Li Zixiao and Xia Qingyao did not comment.

They don't like to talk, which does not mean they are not smart.

Yun Xi squatted down and flipped through the land with her hands without bothering her dirty hands.

The soil is harder than expected, but there is no spiritual power left, which means that at least half a month has passed since the battle.

This is the desolate city. If something strange happens elsewhere, the Tianling Alliance shouldn't have been aware of it for so long.

A silver light flashed by, Yun Xi's eyes suddenly condensed, and his movements stopped.

She looked at the vine roots under the soil and quickly spread the soil on both sides. As the vine roots completely appeared, the thing wrapped around the vine roots also appeared in front of Yun Xi.

It was an extremely slender silver wire.

This silver thread is very beautiful, and even if buried in the soil, it has a beautiful luster. I don’t know what metal it is made of.

Of course, the reason why Yun Xi was attracted by this silver thread was not because of how beautiful it was, but because... she had seen this silver thread before.

Yun Xi stroked her fingers through the storage ring, and a flash of inspiration flashed, and a beautiful string of silver threads appeared in her hand.

She picked up the vine roots in the land and compared the silver threads on it with the silver threads in her hand.

"It's them..."

Yun Xi remembered a past event, but she forgot the other party's name.

She put away the silver wires, stood up, and said to her three companions: "Get faster."

The four of them took steps and continued to move towards the towering tree.

Even if they cannot fly, as spirits, they are much faster than ordinary people. They can easily cross the distance of dozens of miles in just a few dozen minutes.

Huge shadows covered the sky, and Yun Xi and the others came under the big tree.

Only when you get close to this place can you understand how big this tree is.

Yun Xi raised her head, the lush leaves blocked everything, and there was nothing else in her sight except this tree.

“What are those flowers?”

She saw that in addition to the lush branches and leaves, there were bright red flowers on the trees. The flowers looked very similar to the other side of the Red River, but the color was as bright as blood, and they... were in full bloom.

The petals spread out, and the slender stamens emanate a beautiful curve. Its beauty is beyond Yun Xi's imagination.

“So beautiful…”

Ying Nianling looked at these flowers in a daze, and the bright reds reflected in her crimson eyes, and she burst into praise.

Even she was deeply attracted by these flowers.

Yun Xi looked at the three partners, and everyone's reaction was almost the same.

"Stop looking, first find out if there is anything unusual nearby."

Yun Xi reminded him, actively moving his eyes away and starting to search the surroundings.

The three of them immediately came to their senses and searched everywhere.

Like its canopy, the trunk of this blood tree is also particularly wide. Yun Xi and the other two searched around the trunk to find clues.

"Um?"

At one moment, Yun Xi felt puzzled and approached the tree.

Except for flowers and leaves, the tree is grayish-white in other places, which is the main color of the city.

Under such pure gray and white, the black and red on the trunks appear particularly obvious.

Yun Xi tapped his toes, jumped upwards on the trunk, and stood upright on the trunk.

She lowered her head and looked at the out of place black and red pieces carefully.

'Blood?'

She reached out and touched it gently, and the blood had dried up.

Yun Xi looked up at the lush trunks above her head.

‘Someone climbed up this tree?’

"You guys continue to check below, I'll go up and take a look."

Yun Xi said to her friends, lightly tapping her toes, and disappeared from everyone's sight amid the "rustling" sound of leaves.

When we came to the tree, the bloody leaves and flowers around us surrounded Yun Xi, and these creepy bloody colors made Yun Xi's face pale.

Her spiritual veins were flashing, and she was always ready to release her spiritual power.

Yun Xi's eyes quickly glanced around. Sure enough, on the branches beside her, she saw black and red blood stains again. This time the spots were denser than.

‘Above it.’

Yun Xi grabbed the trunk with his hands, and his figure flashed rapidly among the branches, and in a blink of an eye it reached deeper.

Finally, she stopped and saw the white bones in front of her.

This is a complete corpse, and Yun Xi could even see his behavior before his death.

The corpse sat among the branches of the blood tree, stretched out his hands, and a red flower of the other side was hanging between his palms.

The flower was peeled off from the branches, and the petals had lost their bright redness, with their withered color, and the stamens were weakly hanging, and it walked towards death with this person.

Yun Xi's eyes fell on the neck of the corpse, and there was a red rope hanging there, and under the red rope was an iron pendant.

She reached out and took off the pendant. She touched the iron and found that it was a small iron box that could be opened.

When I opened the iron box, a small mini photo came into my eyes, and Yun Xi fell into silence.

This is a common type of pendant in Tianling. It is not unusual to hide photos in the pendant.

The reason why Yun Xi reacted was because of the person in the photo.

She didn't know the man in the photo, but she was very sure that it was Zhang Ting.

Yun Xi looked at the photo and was speechless for a long time. Then she held her hand and closed the pendant.

She looked at the corpse with respect in her eyes.

"So you are Yuan Huan."

Putting the pendant away, Yun Xi was about to put Yuan Huan's bones into the storage ring.

No matter what, at least he must go back intact.

She stroked her fingers between her fingers, and the light of inspiration flashed on the storage ring.
To be continued...
