The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 533 The Spirit-Creating Vine

The scent that Yunran was smelling at this moment was clearly the same one recorded in that previous note.

The ginseng fruit noticed Yun Ran's unusual behavior and cautiously approached: [Host, what's wrong?]

With a flick of her finger, Yunran caused the paper figures, except for the one carrying the luggage, to disperse and form a special protective circle.

"Did you hear anything?"

Du Jun's voice came from not far away, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"what?"

Du Jun became anxious when he saw that the others seemed not to have heard him at all.

He was the oldest among them, and even though he wasn't the most capable, he still took on the role of someone who would take responsibility.

"A rustling sound, like someone whispering!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent and listened attentively.

They are all members of the Xuanmen sect, and their five senses are far superior to those of ordinary people. If there really is such a voice, it will certainly not escape their notice.

Sure enough, as they listened intently, they heard rustling sounds, as if someone was whispering in their ears.

They hadn't paid attention before, but the sound was blended into the wind, and you really couldn't hear it unless you listened carefully.

Fang Yu's expression changed slightly. Such whispers wouldn't be considered unusual in other places.

But this is the outer edge of the Death Mountain, and everyone knows what such a sound means.

Fortunately, everyone clearly understood their current identity and position, and their gazes turned directly to Yun Ran, obviously waiting for her to make a decision.

Yun Ran smiled faintly, clearly not taking the voice seriously.

"Since this sound is so tempting, let's go check it out. We have plenty of time!"

Seeing the obvious relaxation emanating from Yun Ran, the others, who were initially very tense, were also infected by her and relaxed a bit.

The little paper figure that had been leading the way immediately flew out, trying to figure out the direction of the sound.

"Master, it's this way!"

As the little paper figure's voice faded, everyone continued forward in the direction it pointed.

On the outskirts of this deadly mountain, most of the trees receive normal nourishment from the sun and grow quite robust.

But as they went further in, the temperature changed noticeably, and most importantly, moss began to appear on the road ahead.

The surrounding trees also began to look malnourished, with their trunks covered in various vines and moss, making it clear that these trees were struggling to survive.

"Everyone be careful, places like this are prone to snakes, insects, and rodents, and they are very poisonous!"

Ginseng Fruit looked at the bodysuit she was wearing. The bodysuit was not only warm but also waterproof, and of high quality; ordinary swords and knives could not cut through it.

As long as they don't fall to the ground, the chances of snakes, insects, and rodents biting them are slim.

Just as Ginseng Fruit was thinking this, suddenly, a vine fell from the tree trunk in front of them and landed on them.

Du Jun walked ahead and clearly saw one end of the vine, then opened his mouth.

He was so shocked that his voice cracked: "It's a snake! Watch out!" Who would have thought that what looked like a vine falling from the tree was actually a snake.

As Du Jun's voice faded, more vines, as well as things that looked exactly like withered tree branches, fell down.

Fortunately, they were prepared before entering, so even when they saw countless venomous snakes attacking them, they did not panic.

Everyone methodically took out their magical implements and began to drive away the venomous snakes.

Yunran stood still, and the little paper figure attached to her arm was disgusted to see so many nasty snakes coming this way.

It flew straight over, so fast that it left afterimages, and kicked wildly, sending all the surrounding venomous snakes flying in just a few moves.

Just then, a vine that looked like a real tree began to cautiously approach Yunran's feet.

Just as it was about to climb onto Yunran's leg, Yunran lifted her foot and stepped on the vine that was trying to get closer to her.

Once discovered, the vine immediately dropped its disguise and began to move, twisting its body.

Only then did everyone realize that they had walked into a trap disguised by vines.

The vine that Yunran caught was just the most inconspicuous one among them.

The venomous snakes that had been driven to this area were all frightened and fled to the outer perimeter when they saw the vines swirling around.

"What kind of vine is this? It looks disgusting!"

"It must be a tree spirit that has become a demon. Judging from its appearance, it must have devoured many creatures in this Death Mountain before. These poisonous snakes were driven here by it."

"If we hadn't wandered in, these venomous snakes would have been their food."

As she spoke, Yun Ran sneered, and then continued, "After all, it is a creature that has become a spirit, so it still has some brains and knows that human essence and blood are much better than the flesh and blood of these venomous snakes."

I reckon they smelled our scent when we came in and followed the smell here. Unfortunately, they miscalculated this time.

As she spoke, Yunran exerted force on the back of her foot, which was entangled in the vine, and forcefully pulled the vine, which was only half exposed, out of the soil.

At the same time, he pulled out a peach wood sword and plunged it fiercely into the center of the vine.

A shrill, ear-piercing sound suddenly rang out. Yun Ran frowned slightly, but was not affected in any way.

One of the young men who followed from Sihuimen felt as if his brain was about to be smashed when he heard the voice, and his head was throbbing with pain.

"what……"

Yun Ran glanced at it, then formed a hand seal with one hand, and a seemingly simple peace talisman was struck onto the person.

The person who had just felt like their head was about to explode suddenly returned to normal.

Seeing that the other person was alright, Yun Ran said calmly, "When you enter a place like this, you must be vigilant at all times. This is only the outer perimeter..."

The man was grateful, but his face flushed slightly. He had been startled by the sudden sound, which had caused him to lose his composure and be attacked.

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Abbot Yun."

Yunran then withdrew the peach wood sword she had inserted, and Ginseng Fruit immediately stepped forward in perfect unison and began to pry away at the vines that Yunran had just stabbed.

Soon, a small bead emerged from the center of the vine.

His body was made from the essence of wood, and the bead formed from the core of this wood was a great tonic for him.
However, upon seeing the color of the bead, the ginseng fruit pursed its lips in disdain.
