Chapter 570: I am so wise that I have seen through everything
Everything was fine, but suddenly a three-eyed demon ape appeared and caused heavy losses to the elite troops under his command.
This made Tan Yao very doubtful about the authenticity of the map in his hand.
"This..." The chicken weakly covered his bruised eyes and whispered back, "Who knows when it got in?"
"Yes!" Mao Youbing also stood up to explain, "Master Tianzun, think about it, the last time the secret realm was opened was a hundred years ago. There is no rule that the monsters in this secret realm cannot move around!"
"What you mean is that I'm just unlucky and it has nothing to do with you guys?" Tan Yao gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
That's right! You can blame me for an accident? Is that reasonable?
Ji Wuli felt a lot of resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word.
"Okay, they really can't be blamed for this."
The Holy Fire Patriarch came out to smooth things over. "Opportunities and dangers coexist in secret realms, and we can't rely entirely on maps. Just ask everyone to be careful."
Tan Yao had a dark face and did not answer. He picked up the map on the ground, unfolded it and took a quick look: "Follow my pace. If you fall behind, you will bear the consequences!"
Nothing unexpected happened afterwards, and we walked safely for a while and came to a strange forest.
This place is marked on the map, and there are red phantom snakes in the forest.
This snake has no lethality, but it can spray out a red smoke that causes hallucinations in those who inhale it, causing them to kill each other.
Tan Yao reminded in a cold voice: "Hold your breath, don't inhale the red smoke! Once you find the red phantom snake, kill it from a distance!"
"Yes!"
After entering the forest, as the map said, there were many small red snakes roaming in the dark.
Without Tan Yao's order, the disciples took action one after another, killing one by one, not giving them the chance to spray poisonous mist.
For a moment, everyone's attention was on the red phantom snake.
No one noticed that the strange trees around them were also quietly changing their postures as they moved.
"Swish~" A sharp branch pierced through the back of a disciple's head at lightning speed when he turned around.
In a flash, it sucked all the blood and flesh out of his body.
What's even more terrifying is that the soul and flesh of the person being sucked away also turn into nutrients for the strange tree.
The same scene happened everywhere. Tan Yao, who had a keen sense of perception, soon discovered something was wrong and screamed, "Ignore those snakes! Be careful of the trees around you!"
"Swoosh~" Just as he finished speaking, a branch came out from the darkness and hit the back of his head.
"Master Tianzun, be careful!" The cat next to him swung its sharp claws, cutting the branch off on the spot, and sprayed green liquid all over his head and face.
Tan Yao took the opportunity to throw a fireball, and the strange tree behind him instantly caught fire.
"Ahhhhh!!" The strange tree screamed miserably like a living person, and fell to the ground and struggled continuously.
As the scream sounded, the strange trees in the forest suddenly became active, making weird babbling sounds that made people's scalps numb.
"Burn! Burn this forest for me!"
Tan Yao jumped up, and the Heavenly Flame in his hand condensed into a giant fire lotus in the air, "Heavenly Lotus, bloom furiously!"
"Boom~" With a loud bang, the entire forest instantly turned into a sea of fire.
"Ahhh!!" The strange tree that was on fire screamed and rushed towards the crowd. Anyone who was dragged by it was reduced to ashes along with it.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Tan Yao took the lead and cleared the way, followed closely by several elders.
At this time, on the hillside not far away, Chi Yu and his companions were quietly watching the moving sea of fire below.
After a moment, several people turned around at the same time and headed in another direction.
Tan Yao, who had finally escaped from the sea of fire, was already furious.
After this incident, there were only about a hundred disciples left under his command, and they were all covered in dust and dirt, worse than beggars. There was no trace of their usual demeanor.
He looked at the chicken and the cat with a gloomy face: "What about this wave? How do you two explain it!"
"This..." The two looked at each other, and Ji Wuli stepped forward to explain, "Master Tianzun, I think there are bound to be some omissions on the map, which is normal..."
"Oversight?" Tan Yao's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he kicked her to the ground. "She didn't record such important information, but told us to pay attention to that damn snake! This is clearly a deliberate attempt to divert our attention!"
Without waiting for the two to argue, Tan Yao's tone sank, "I now seriously suspect that the two of you deliberately colluded with the people of Yunxi Sect and brought this broken map back to harm me!
And that black crystal, was it embezzled by the two of you? You are so bold! "
Hearing this, the two of them looked very surprised: "Master Tianzun! How could you think of us like this?"
"Yes! For the sake of the Holy Fire Temple, Brother Ji and I risked our lives and bravely entered the devil's cave to fight with that witch! The heavens and the earth can see our intentions, and the sun and the moon can bear witness to our intentions!"
Seeing that Tan Yao still had a gloomy face, the two of them gritted their teeth and pointed their fingers to the sky: "If you still don't believe me, Lord Tianzun, we can swear an oath in our hearts! If you have any dissenting thoughts, you will be punished by heaven and earth! No body will be left!"
After a short silence, Tan Yao slowly spoke: "Since you said so, I will trust you again for the time being. However, let me be frank with you, if there is any mistake again, don't blame me for being ruthless!
Also! You two will be responsible for exploring the road ahead. I think you have no objection, right?"
Tan Yao would not dispel his suspicions just because of a few words. But instead of killing them at this critical moment, it would be better to use them.
The two looked at each other and gritted their teeth: "I am willing to listen to the arrangements of Lord Tianzun!"
"Very good! Then keep going!"
The rest of the journey was incredibly smooth.
Not only was there no danger, but I also gained several treasures along the way.
Ji Wuli held a rare spiritual plant in his hand and came to Tan Yao to ask for credit: "Look, Lord Tianzun, I told you that this map cannot be fake!"
Tan Yao did not answer. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
It's like someone is deliberately guiding you from behind, stabbing you with a knife, and then rewarding you with a date.
Overall, the damage far outweighs the gains.
Soon, they came to a fork in the road. Ji Wuli looked at the map in his hand and asked, "According to the annotations on the map, the road on the left is flat and safe, and the road on the right..."
"Go to the right!" Before he could finish his words, Tan Yao made his choice.
"Huh?" Ji Wuli was slightly startled. "Master Tianzun, why don't you wait until I finish speaking before making a decision?"
"Humph! You just want to say that the road on the right is rugged and full of dangers."
"Well, if you know that, then why do you still..."
"Stupid!" Tan Yao glanced at him, raised his chin and analyzed seriously, "Aren't the lessons from the previous two times enough? I am as wise as I have already seen through everything. Although this map is true, it is definitely not real!
If nothing unexpected happens, this is a big pit! The more he says there is no danger, the more dangerous it is! And we just need to do the opposite! To stay safe!"
