In the deep forest, Han Chen stood quietly.

The palm of his hand touched the dark empty ring on the finger of his left hand, and he exhaled lightly.

Now that the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom has been obtained by him, then the next step is to absorb and refine the majestic aura in it. At the same time, he also needs to absorb a large amount of wood and earth attribute aura to complete the wood and earth of the five elements.

Although these two kinds of aura are not difficult to absorb in the 100,000 mountains, the deeper the 100,000 mountains go, the thicker and purer the water-attribute aura contained in heaven and earth becomes, and the wood and earth attribute aura that can be absorbed will naturally become rarer.

Correspondingly, the time it takes for the wood and earth of the five elements to complete the deficiency is naturally longer.

Moreover, the forests near the small valley had also been explored by Han Chen, even if it was a little farther away, he had also observed it with the help of Qingluan's wings.

But the results of the investigation were somewhat disappointing.

Han Chen had indeed discovered a lot of huge forests, but the wood attribute aura contained in them was a bit unsatisfactory.

Although it is not thin, it is not related to richness, if you choose to absorb it there, I am afraid that it will not take three or five months, and it is impossible to fill the gap of the Five Elements Wood completely.

As for the reason why the wood attribute aura was so weak, Han Chen could roughly guess that it was nothing more than that the water attribute aura in the 100,000 mountains was too strong, which made the aura of other attributes form an extreme rejection.

Over time, it has become a situation where the water attribute aura dominates the world and the world.

It's only 15,000 miles away. It is already this kind of result, you can see each other, if you continue to go deeper, the wood attribute aura that you can absorb at that time is probably even thinner.

It would never work to continue to go deeper, and Han Chen didn't think about going deeper, after all, with his strength at this time, if he continued to go deeper, he would be looking for death at all.

After all, the deeper you go, the greater the chance of encountering high-level demonic beasts. Once it really came across. At that time, even if Han Chen had nine lives, it would not be enough for him to die.

That's why he thought of coming to this outskirts of the 100,000 mountains. Not to mention, the water attribute aura on the periphery is deeper than that. It's a lot thinner, indeed. The wood attribute aura contained in the forest is naturally much more abundant.

These days of searching. It did allow him to find a few nice places.

Previously, he had chosen one of the places where the wood attribute aura was strong, and when he was about to go, he happened to meet the burly man and others.

It's been a while since I entered the 100,000 Great Mountain. He can be said to be ignorant of all the news from the outside world, under this isolation.

After Mu Mad died, what kind of actions would Wan Bingzhai take? What actions would he take after chasing and killing him to no avail? And what kind of crazy actions would Mu Li, who had suffered the pain of losing his son, do?

Han Chen didn't know anything about all this, but at the same time, he also wanted to figure it out.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one strategize. Now what he lacks most is news.

So after meeting the burly man and the others, Han Chen even stopped, hoping to hear some news from these people's mouths.

As it turned out, he decided to stop, and the decision to listen to the news was the right one.

From the conversation between the burly man and others, Han Chen knew that his current situation could be said to be very dangerous.

More than one million mercenaries are indeed like a drop in the ocean for the vast 100,000 mountains, and they are not worth mentioning. But if you follow one direction and go deeper, then it's a different story.

At the beginning, Han Chen entered the location of the 100,000 Great Mountain, and that punishment was also Zhilu Dao, as long as he used this location as a breakthrough and advanced inside, he would definitely not be wrong, even if he was fleeing left and right, he could use his own strength, in the face of the large number of demonic beasts in the 100,000 Great Mountain, he would definitely not escape far, they just needed to enlarge the width of this advancement.

In other words, the more than a million mercenaries all walked in an area that had been reduced countless times, slowly advancing.

In this way, the threat of these more than one million mercenaries can be greatly enhanced.

The mercenaries and warriors who entered the 100,000 Mountains were divided into three echelons, although many chose to quit and give up. But after so many days of advancement. Even the third echelon, which has the worst strength, has advanced to a distance of about five thousand miles.

It can be said that Han Chen is now deep in those mercenary groups, and he may be discovered and searched by these mercenaries at any time.

Han Chen's eyes flashed rapidly, he didn't expect that his actions this time would put him in such a dangerous situation, but this was not all a bad thing, at least now he had a little understanding of Wan Bingzhai's intentions and actions, so he could also make corresponding countermeasures.

It is better to stay in the little valley, knowing nothing, and waiting for the seeker to find you.

"Whew!" After a moment, Han Chen let out a long breath and said softly, "If I return to the small valley now, I can indeed avoid danger and protect myself." But if that's the case, with the thin wood attribute aura in the depths, it will take at least three months to complete the five elements of the wood, and I can't wait for such a long time!"

Saying this, Han Chen's eyes froze, and a look of determination appeared on his face, "Let's continue!"

His voice is very soft, but there is a sense of stubbornness in it, this young man's pursuit of strength will not retreat because of danger!

"Hehe!" Hearing this, Guiguzi smiled slightly, not the slightest surprise at Han Chen's answer, obviously he had already guessed that the latter would make such a decision.

"In that case, let's continue!" Guiguzi smiled.

Hearing this, Han Chen nodded slightly. The forest he had chosen was still more than five hundred miles away, and at his current speed, he could reach it in less than half an hour.

"It's getting dark!" Han Chen raised his head, his eyes faintly seeing the fiery red sun in the sky through the dense branches and leaves above his head.

Retract your gaze. Han Chen didn't leave immediately, but raised his eyes and swept around, and then his gaze froze, landing on a stout tree.

His footsteps lifted and walked in front of the big tree, then his knees bent slightly, and as soon as his body was vertical, Han Chen jumped onto the top of the big tree, hiding his body in the dense branches and leaves, and then Han Chen's legs were crossed. Keep your eyes together. Entered the cultivation.

And at the same time, the breath on his body was also restrained by him, and his breathing also changed to internal breathing.

Before encountering the burly man and the others, Han Chen could walk through the forest unscrupulously. But now that he has known that there are a large number of mercenaries entering the 100,000 mountains. Search for yourself. Naturally, he can't be as careless as before, otherwise if he is careless, he will be discovered. That's a real problem.

So Han Chen chose to lurk for the time being.

It's dusk, and it's going to be dark in a short time. The real danger of the 100,000 Mountains is not in the daytime, but in the night.

After entering the night, the endless cold in the 100,000 mountains will show its true power, and that kind of cold is not at all something that ordinary people can bear.

Therefore, the burly man and others before were in a hurry to find a place to hide and escape the cold before it got dark.

Moreover, after nightfall, all aspects of the martial artist's senses will decline, especially the weakening of visual power, which will greatly reduce the strength. And some magical beasts that like to be active at night will also come out at this moment.

It can be said that after nightfall, if you are still active outside, you are definitely looking for death.

However, these are not big problems for Han Chen.

With the Ice Spirit Body, the endless cold qi in the 100,000 Mountains could not pose the slightest threat to him. And with a keen soul perception, there is not much difference between day and night for him, as for those infested magical beasts, as long as they are not too strong, most of Han Chen can use soul perception to detect in advance, so as to dodge.

Without the threat of mercenary warriors, as long as he was careful, Han Chen could quickly rush to the chosen forest.

As Han Chen retracted his aura and entered the cultivation, the forest suddenly became quiet.

Time passed slowly, the sun on the horizon slowly set, and with the dissipation of the last trace of the sunset, the night gradually invaded like a tide.

The waning moon hung high, and the night finally fell.

The thin curved moon was like a thin slit that emitted a bright light, and only a few rays of moonlight fell through the dense foliage.

The light brought by a few rays of moonlight did not have the slightest effect on this dark forest.

In the dark forest, on top of the big tree, Han Chen, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, slowly opened his eyes, but he didn't immediately get up and jump down, his eyes flashed, and his keen soul perception spread like a spider's web, spreading towards the surroundings, with his current soul power, although he couldn't do it like Guiguzi, covering thousands of miles in an instant, but everything within a radius of several miles around him could be clearly investigated.

After a while, after making sure that there were no traces or dangers, Han Chen took back his soul perception, jumped down from the big tree, and after slightly identifying the next direction, his toes lightly touched the ground, and his body moved, like a black arrow, and shot out in an instant.

Now that it was night, Han Chen didn't have the slightest scruples at all, and he took eight steps to catch the cicada, and with the softness of his physical strength, while dissolving all the movements caused by the rapid sweep of his body, he also increased his speed to the highest.

In the midst of a swift sweep, like a ghost, he instantly disappeared into the forest

Although the distance of five hundred miles seemed to be a long time, with Han Chen's full running, it only took two pillars of incense to reach it.

In the dark forest, the rushing Han Chen's toes lightly touched the ground, and his figure instantly stagnated, from extreme movement to extreme quietness, without the slightest stagnation, he seemed very skillful.

"Huh, good guy, there are too many mercenaries in this area!" Han Chen, who had stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

It was no wonder that Han Chen was like this, when he was in a hurry before, with his soul perception, just five hundred miles away, he actually sensed that there were fourteen places where a large number of martial artists were gathered.

There is no need to guess, these warriors must have been rewarded by Wan Bingzhai and entered the 100,000 mountains to search for their own mercenary team.

Fourteen places. That is, a team of fourteen mercenaries. This is too dense, this is only a distance of five hundred miles, and there are so many mercenaries gathered.

Although the mercenaries gathered in this area were much denser than he had imagined, he had no choice, and he could not be deterred by this.

With a light breath, Han Chen shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

The eyes were raised, and although the forest was dark, it was a dark environment under the keen soul perception. For him. But it didn't make a difference.

Soul perception spread like a spider's web, spreading towards the surroundings, but this forest seemed to be very large, until the distance of perception reached Han Chen's limit. There's no end in sight.

on this. Han Chen had no surprises. He had already been to this forest once a few days ago.

Compared to the other forests in the 100,000 mountains, this forest is not very large. On the contrary, it seems a little small, but this is only relatively speaking, with the vast area of 100,000 mountains, no matter how small the forest is, I am afraid it will not be so small.

With a move in his mind, he took back his soul perception, Han Chen raised his footsteps, walked to a big tree on the side, raised his palm, and gently pressed on it, and the next moment, a strange rhythm slowly burst out from the body of the big tree, this rhythm was very weak, ordinary people, even if it was a martial artist in the Sword Spirit Realm, they might not be able to feel it.

However, although this rhythm was very weak, it was still captured by Han Chen's soul perception.

When he sensed this rhythm, a smile suddenly appeared on Han Chen's face, he was attracted by this rhythm a few days ago and came to this forest.

That rhythm is the wood spiritual energy cultivated in the body of the big tree, but this wood spiritual energy has already been condensed into a more refined wood essence by the big tree because of the long years.

Han Chen was naturally no stranger to the Wood Essence, when he was in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, it only took him three days to completely heal the injuries left over from the battle with the Golden Lion and many other Demonic Beasts on his body.

It's just that compared to the wood essence qi absorbed by Han Chen in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the wood essence contained in this big tree at this time is much purer, and the gap between the two can almost be said to be several times, or even more than ten times.

After all, when he was in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Han Chen didn't feel that the wood essence in those big trees would emit such a faint rhythm.

This kind of wood essence that can exude a faint rhythm can only be condensed after thousands of years of cultivation. And this is exactly the case, although the big tree in front of Han Chen is not very tall, it does have thousands of years of age.

And it seems that this tree in front of me, which is thousands of years old, is everywhere in this forest.

In other words, this forest is actually formed by a large number of trees that are thousands of years old, and even the lowest ones have thousands of years old, all of which contain their own wood essence.

And this is also the most important reason why Han Chen chose this place.

The fire of the five elements, there is the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom, and the fire attribute aura in it that has almost turned into liquid is enough to fill in the gap.

As for the land of the five elements, although there was no spiritual essence that could be absorbed and refined, the perfection of this attribute was the least worrying for Han Chen. As long as his feet were still on the earth, he could continuously absorb the earth spiritual energy contained in the earth, and the speed was no slower than absorbing the Five Elements Fire of the Snow Spirit Fire Zhi.

As for the last item, the Wood of the Five Elements, it was what Han Chen was most worried about.

Although as long as he has a tree forest, he can absorb the wood attribute aura, but the forest trees are not the earth after all, and the wood aura contained in them is limited after all, and the richness of the aura cannot be guaranteed at all.

However, this time was different, with this forest completely formed by thousands of years of trees, with the incomparably rich wood essence that had been condensed in the bodies of these trees for thousands of years, Han Chen didn't believe it, so he couldn't complete the Five Elements Wood Supply.

He retracted his palm, and as soon as his palm left the tree, the strange rhythm disappeared in an instant.

"Teacher, let's start now!" Han Chen said softly after taking a light breath.

At this time, there are a large number of mercenaries scattered in this area, and it can be said that he is in an extremely dangerous situation at this time, and he may be discovered at any time and fall into a large-scale hunt.

The longer the time is delayed, the more dangerous it is, it is better to have a long night and many dreams, so it is better to start quickly, and complete the spiritual energy of the wood as soon as possible, and leave this place.

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Guiguzi, who had been following closely behind him, nodded slightly, and then said again: "But before that, you still need to make some preparations, after all, this place is not far from those mercenaries, and when the time comes, it will be a little troublesome to extract wood essence and attract the attention of others!"

As soon as the words fell, Guiguzi waved his arm, and suddenly demon cores of different colors appeared in the air, there were nearly a hundred, these demon cores were all in Han Chen's empty ring, and there were all kinds of attributes, but these demon cores seemed to be bright, but in fact, they were just first-order demon cores.

His gaze swept over these first-order demon cores in the air, and then Guiguzi's arm waved, and then he saw that those demon cores were wrapped in Guiguzi's soul power, with the sound of breaking the sky, quickly dispersed, and shot towards the depths of the forest.

At this time, Han Chen's soul perception quickly emanated, but he could only capture an afterimage, and in just an instant, the demon cores quickly flew out of the maximum range of his soul perception at an extremely fast speed.

After about ten breaths, Guiguzi's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "With the wood essence contained in these trees in this forest, the area within a radius of three hundred miles should be about the same!"

Hearing this, Han Chen couldn't help but smack his tongue a little, it had only been a long time, and those demon cores had already flown out of three hundred miles, and more importantly, he didn't expect that the completion of the Five Elements Wood would actually absorb the wood essence in the trees within a radius of three hundred miles.

As soon as the words fell, Guiguzi clasped his hands together, and then his fingers changed for a while, and began to form a knot. (To be continued......)
