Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1659 - 743: Qiu Ni Forest (Part 2)

The dense, towering trees blocked the sunlight, turning the inside dim, forming a stark contrast with the earlier bright sunshine, making people’s vision require some time for brief adaptation.

And Fang Yu, charging into the forest, immediately spotted the silhouettes of Dongfang Aotian and others ahead.

Moreover, perhaps due to the quiet environment amplifying the sound of galloping hooves inexplicably, Fang Yu could easily pinpoint their location.

"Is it really just barging in directly like this..."

Fang Yu muttered to himself, but unexpectedly, the demon Feng Yahu suddenly overtook her, moving from the tail end of the group to the second-to-last position.

Fang Yu instead became the tail end of the group.

When this Old Demon surpassed her, she even cast a mocking glance at her.

Fang Yu, with sharp eyes, certainly did not see wrong.

Old Witch!

Fang Yu’s expression darkened and immediately sped up to catch up.

Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly sounded ahead.

"Follow me closely."

It was Daoist Qing Yan’s voice.

Fang Yu looked forward and was immediately stunned.

He saw Daoist Qing Yan leading Luo Jianqing and others, heading directly towards him and the Old Witch!

Why, why were they running back?

Are they going out of the forest?

Fang Yu hadn’t figured it out yet, as Daoist Qing Yan seemed not to see the two of them at all, not even giving them a glance, directly passing by them.

"Wait for me!"

The Old Witch was stunned, already turned around to follow!

Fang Yu frowned, unable to think too much, gritted his teeth, and quickly turned his horse to follow.

But this turning back, isn’t it...

Fang Yu hadn’t figured it out yet when, suddenly, his face changed.

Fatty Jia suddenly seemed to be struck by something, flew backwards wildly from the Black-footed Horse, directly crashing towards Fang Yu and the Old Witch.

Fang Yu quickly pulled the horse’s head to try to evade, while the Old Witch ahead was already a step slow.

In the next moment...

Swish!

Fatty Jia’s body unexpectedly passed through the Old Witch’s body, penetrating through with the Black-footed Horse, rolling to the ground!

Seeing the number -597! appear above Fatty Jia’s head, Fang Yu immediately faintly understood something.

He halted his horse, transformed his arm into a blade, and directly slashed at Fatty Jia’s leg on the ground.

Clang!!

The Bone Blade passed through Fatty Jia’s body, struck the ground.

Fatty Jia never reacted to the two of them from start to finish.

Mirage?

Fang Yu’s heart moved.

"What’s going on?"

The Old Witch retreated to Fang Yu’s side, adopting a stance to fight side by side.

"It’s a shadow, not a physical entity."

The Old Witch was stunned, seeing these few people all assuming an enemy stance, she suddenly reached out to grab Fatty Jia’s face on the ground, only to grab empty air like fishing the moon from water.

"The shadow is so lifelike, as if it’s..."

Started moving.

The group seemed to be fighting an enemy that didn’t exist.

Several figures flickered by, just as the horses were startled into action, they had each stopped moving, as if the battle had ended.

That fast?

Fang Yu was stunned.

"You’re visible, aren’t you, Brother Diao."

Daoist Qing Yan’s voice suddenly rang out.

His sight was obviously directed towards Fang Yu!

Is it, is it a shadow?

Clearly a mirage-like shadow, why...

Fang Yu’s eyes widened.

The others had already gotten back on their horses, frowning upon hearing this.

"Is Daoist Qing Yan talking to that Brother Diao? He and Feng Yahu are still in the rear, not yet regrouped."

Guan Anxuan spoke softly.

Daoist Qing Yan didn’t say anything, but took out a bell and shook it a little.

Jingle——

Visible sound wave ripples, radiated from the bell.

As these sound waves spread outward, in Fang Yu and Feng Yahu’s sight, the silhouettes of Daoist Qing Yan and his group quickly faded, disappeared until completely gone.

At the same time...

Jingle——

The same bell sound suddenly came from about forty degrees to the left.

"Follow the sound of the bell, we are waiting for you at the exit."

Along with the bell sound came Daoist Qing Yan’s voice.

Exit?

Not waiting for people...even in a hurry...

Sparked motion.

Some object in the far distance momentarily wavered.

Fang Yu frowned, instantly mounted his horse.

"Follow!"

He shouted, and the Old Witch was already on her horse waiting.

As soon as Fang Yu shouted, she immediately followed.

The two of them galloped swiftly, and the bell sound continuously led them from the front.

About five minutes later, the bell sound suddenly stopped.

Without thinking, Fang Yu continued to gallop madly in the direction where the bell sound had last disappeared.

But soon...

Jingle——

The bell sound surprisingly came from behind him.

How could it be...

Fang Yu was stunned, pulling the reins tightly, stopping the horse.

Looking back, isn’t that the road we came from? Why does it want me to run back...

Fang Yu felt his sense of direction was disoriented, and he was starting to lose confidence.

The Old Witch however didn’t even stop, turning around and rushing back as if she emptied her mind and just followed the bell sound.

And at this time, new voices accompanied the bell sound.

"Dongfang Tong, Miss Guan, Diao, Feng Yahu, upon hearing the bell, follow the direction of the sound, we’re waiting for you at the exit."

Have they all reached the exit?

Have they already crossed this forest?

Fang Yu was a bit stunned but didn’t think much, followed on his horse.

But in the next instant...

Bang!!!

A fierce spark suddenly erupted in front, accompanied by a cracking sound!

Something fell to the ground, making a metallic clash against the surface.

Fang Yu looked ahead, only to see the Old Witch Feng Yahu maintaining a defensive posture.

The Longsword tightly gripped in her hand was vertical, as if she had just cut something.

A demon?

But nothing was seen.

Couldn’t even sense it.

Fang Yu urged the horse forward, shoulder to shoulder with the Old Witch, placing his right hand on the Blood Dried Demon Sword, ready to act anytime, and asked quietly.

"Where’s the demon?"

But strangely... the Old Witch, as if hard of hearing, didn’t respond to him and suddenly jumped off the horse.

Whoosh——

The sound of something cutting the air appeared belatedly, changing Fang Yu’s expression as he instinctively blocked.

Buzz!

The invisible attack passed through his body.

"..."

Fang Yu understood in an instant.

Damn!

When did this happen?

When did I get separated from the Old Witch?

A virtual shadow led me everywhere? No wonder I couldn’t tell directions...

Jingle——

As the bell sound rang again, the Old Witch’s shadow faded and disappeared.

Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, then decisively followed the bell sound forward.

The Black-footed Horse ran very fast, too fast.

In such a complex terrain, it was still astonishingly fast.

So when Fang Yu sprinted with all his strength this time, he saw...

Trees, moving.

Yes!

Several towering giant trees, like rootsless beings, moved swiftly on the ground!

The speed of their movement was so fast they disappeared from Fang Yu’s sight in the blink of an eye.

The black shadow seen when first entering the forest...

A moment of realization flashed in Fang Yu’s heart.

But for such huge trees to move, and move so fast, is truly absurd.

Bear in mind he is a Blood Master now, and for these trees to still be this fast under his watch is simply...

Wait!

It wasn’t the trees that were moving.

Fang Yu suddenly understood again.

It’s the virtual shadow moving.

The seemingly real yet faux shadow of trees, ensnaring every person who enters the forest like a labyrinth!

Even someone as powerful as him almost fell for it in this forest.

If that’s the case, the demons attacking Daoist Qing Yan and others were Tree Demons? And what struck down Fatty Jia was a tree’s vine or branch. The Old Witch didn’t cut through steel, but through something like a Tree Demon’s vine that feels like steel.

Realizing this point, Fang Yu quickly looked around.

But around him, there was nothing unusual, only the bell sound guiding him forward.

Even at this moment, light started to appear ahead.

In this dim forest, the appearance of light was quite conspicuous, so Fang Yu noticed it immediately.

"Hya!"

Accelerating further to sprint over, the horse stomped heavily with its four legs and leapt into the light!

After a fleeting moment of visual discomfort, Fang Yu saw...

"Diao."
