Chapter 273 Ambush and Counterattack
The white fog was surging and changing.
Lin Mu and Gu Yun shuttled through the sea of fog and headed straight for the medicine garden.
Wherever they passed, the monsters all retreated, and the cultivators did not dare to provoke them easily.
The deeper they went, the thicker the white fog became. After 200 miles, the two could no longer see anything within a foot in front of them.
When they came here, they began to slow down unconsciously.
The spiritual energy here is also extremely rich, comparable to the fifth-grade cave paradise, and perhaps there are seventh-level monsters.
The two could not help but start to be cautious, even Gu Yun did not dare to act recklessly.
Before, Gu Yun was very familiar with the periphery of the misty forest, but after going 200 miles deep, he had to look at the map from time to time before deciding where to go. The two groped forward, not only to find the path, but also to beware of whether there were monsters ambushing and attacking.
The white fog was shadowy, and it was impossible to see the things in front of them as far as the line of sight could reach.
For safety reasons, Lin Mu began to release his spiritual sense to investigate.
The powerful spiritual sense was released at once, and the terrifying spiritual sense pressure made even Gu Yun feel a little nervous. He felt that Lin Mu's strength was unfathomable, and he was optimistic about this trip.
Under the exploration of the spiritual sense, the scene of thirty feet in radius was presented in his mind with great clarity.
Any slight movement could not escape Lin Mu's spiritual sense exploration.
The powerful spiritual sense really benefited him a lot.
However, in this way, Lin Mu's spiritual sense consumption was also aggravated.
If the spiritual sense is released at full power like this, it will take less than six hours for Lin Mu's spiritual sense to be exhausted.
At that time, if there is no powerful spiritual sense to explore, the safety of the two in the misty forest will no longer be guaranteed.
"We need to speed up!" Lin Mu said: "Rest and plan before rushing to the medicine garden."
Gu Yun nodded, handed the atlas to Lin Mu, and Lin Mu led the way to the medicine garden.
In this way, the two of them were much faster.
In a cup of tea, they went a hundred miles deeper.
The deeper they went, the smaller the range of Lin Mu's spiritual sense began to be.
"Thirty feet, twenty-five feet, twenty-two feet, twenty feet, eighteen feet..."
Lin Mu's spiritual sense consumption was also increasing.
After going five hundred miles deeper, even if Lin Mu released his spiritual sense, he could only detect a range of ten feet.
Arriving here, the two were less than a hundred miles away from their destination.
After carefully avoiding a group of level six striped tigers, the two moved more slowly and moved towards the medicine garden.
"There are at least a hundred level six striped tigers!" Gu Yun said with a smile, "If you hadn't discovered it in advance, we would have had a big battle in advance."
"It's unwise to have a big battle before the medicine garden is found. It's a waste of strength." Lin Mu said, "We are not here to hunt monsters this time. It's right to collect the thousand-year-old elixir as soon as possible."
Gu Yun nodded and smiled, "That's right. I hope we can get through this last part of the journey safely."
Lin Mu said with a serious face, "I hope so. But I have a hunch that there may be monsters wandering around here."
"Don't worry about it, just keep going." Gu Yun said decisively.
The two of them flashed and flew into the depths of the fog sea again.
Lin Mu released his consciousness with all his strength, but he could only explore a range of about eight feet.
Suddenly!
Lin Mu's figure suddenly stopped, and the thick white fog that was as thick as a substance suddenly became as quiet as before.
Gu Yun followed Lin Mu and quickly stopped.
"What's the matter?" Gu Yun whispered.
"Something's going on!" Lin Mu's face was solemn: "We've been tricked!"
Without waiting for Gu Yun to speak, Lin Mu immediately said: "Hide first."
After speaking, he immediately offered a piece of transparent gauze, which instantly expanded and protected Lin Mu in it. A faint light flashed, and Lin Mu's figure was instantly hidden in the white mist. Even if he was close at hand, he could not see any trace.
Gu Yun was not in a hurry, and also offered a light blue cloak. The cloak flashed with green light, and his whole person became like water waves, becoming psychedelic. After a circle of ripples, the whole person disappeared into the air.
As soon as the two disappeared, a burst of white mist surged, and seven figures appeared where the two were just now.
"The destination is ahead, and I don't know if the two have arrived." A hemp-clothed cultivator said.
"How can it be that fast!" A big man in black said, "We are running non-stop, and our speed is extremely fast. Those two people who just entered this place will definitely not be so fast." The big man in black was decisive and confident.
Lin Mu and Guo Yun were hiding only three feet away from the big man in black. The two could even see every pore of the big man in black through the thick white fog.
A cultivator in green said lightly, "Don't stay here, rest after reaching the destination."
Several people nodded, and their bodies shook, and they continued to move forward.
After the seven people left, the white fog surged for a while, and then returned to calm.
After a long time, the white fog surged, and two figures emerged from it.
It was Lin Mu and Guo Yun.
But now, there was no joy on their faces, and they were both extremely solemn.
Guo Yun's face was pale, with boundless anger, but he had suppressed it by force.
"It seems that we have really fallen into a trap!" Gu Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"These seven top masters of the Spiritual Silence Stage have come together, and they must have come for you." Lin Mu said: "Is the disciple who told you the news about the medicine garden before reliable? Perhaps the problem lies here. If he was bribed by others and told you false news to lead you here, no matter how strong you are, you will suffer a loss."
"At present, it seems that this is the most likely reason." Gu Yun said with a look of defeat: "I really didn't expect that the disciple would betray me. I have wasted my efforts to train him before."
"What should we do now?" Lin Mu said: "The only way now is to retreat bravely and protect yourself, or to go forward and investigate and find out who is behind the scenes. It is not the first time that you have been surrounded and killed. It seems that someone really wants to take your life. If this trouble is not eliminated, it will be difficult to be safe in the future."
Gu Yun nodded, and then said with a puzzled face: "My grandfather also knows about this matter. If someone really secretly planned, my grandfather How could you let me be in danger? Do you want to train me? This is totally unreasonable. These seven people are extremely powerful. If I meet them myself, I will definitely not be able to escape. "
Lin Mu also agreed: "Perhaps, there are really thousand-year-old elixirs in the depths of the Misty Forest. Even the location of this medicine garden is real! Otherwise, how could those people deceive Wushuang Zhenren?"
"When you say so, I think it is very likely!" Gu Yun nodded and said: "In this case, let's continue to go and find out. Whether it is to find out the person behind the scenes or to verify whether the news of the medicine garden is true, we can't retreat."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "Alright! Now that the traces of the seven of them have been discovered by us, the offense and defense have changed. We are in the dark and they are in the light. If we act carefully, there will be no danger. "
After the two discussed it carefully, they quietly walked towards the place where the medicine garden was located.
A moment later, the two came to the medicine garden drawn in the illustration.
Before they got close, the two smelled a strong medicinal aroma.
When the aroma entered their noses, they felt refreshed.
Such a medicinal aroma was unusual.
There were actually spiritual medicines here!
But here, the white fog was several times thicker than other places.
Lin Mu could not see anything in the fog. Even if he released his spiritual sense, he could only detect the surrounding area of 3 meters.
Guo Yun released his spiritual sense, but he could only detect the surrounding area of 2 meters.
Guo Yun was already in the late stage of spiritual silence, and he had taken the soul-enhancing pill. His spiritual sense was much stronger than that of ordinary late stage spiritual silence cultivators.
The seven people who could detect the range must be much weaker than Lin Mu and Guo Yun.
After a brief discussion, the two of them walked into the fog invisibly.
After groping forward half a mile, the two saw a large area of spiritual medicine.
Seven spiritual silence cultivators stood in a field of spiritual medicine.
What puzzled the two was that they did not find a single demon beast within their search range.
It was really strange!
Seven spiritual Silence cultivators gathered together, and a green-clothed cultivator said, "We have already arrived here, so we just need to wait for the two of them to come. In theory, there is no need to worry too much. But here, I am very worried. Not to mention that the fog here is extremely dense, we can only investigate things within a range of ten feet. Even if the two of them come, it is not certain who will find whom first. Moreover, even if we find them first, once a fight occurs, it is very easy to lure out the guarding demon beasts in the depths of the medicine garden! Level 7 demon beasts are extremely powerful. By then, even if we can kill the two of them, I am afraid we will not be able to get away."
A big man in black said, "Why worry so much. This place is at least ten miles away from the depths of the medicine garden. Not to mention that it is difficult to alarm the demon beasts, even if they are alarmed, what does it matter? We just need to kill the two of them before the demon beasts arrive, and we can escape."
The other two hemp-clothed cultivators also nodded in agreement.
The green-clothed cultivator smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "In that case, let's just wait here."
The purple-clothed cultivator said nothing, which was considered as agreement.
The black-clothed man said, "It will take a long time for those two to find this place. Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to collect more spiritual medicines. Although we don't have the chance to get the thousand-year-old spiritual medicines in the depths of the medicine garden, some fourth-grade spiritual medicines are also valuable. We can still make a fortune by taking this opportunity!"
The two hemp-clothed cultivators behind him nodded with a smile and said in unison, "This is a good suggestion."
The green-clothed cultivator pondered for a moment, then said nothing and nodded slightly.
The black-clothed man and the two hemp-clothed cultivators immediately dispersed, flew to the depths of the medicine garden with smiles on their faces, and began to collect fourth-grade spiritual medicines.
How could Lin Mu and Gu Yun miss such a good opportunity?
The two looked at each other and understood each other perfectly.
Without further ado, the two of them immediately hid their bodies, passed the three green-clothed cultivators who were quietly waiting in the original place and the purple-clothed cultivator who had been silent, and sneaked towards a hemp-clothed cultivator who had already moved away from the crowd.
This hemp-clothed cultivator kept collecting mature fourth-grade spiritual herbs, and his smile became more and more intense.
After he collected one plant, he went to collect the next one, and the distance between him and the others was getting farther and farther.
In a moment, he was at least twenty feet away from the others!
At this distance, in this thick white fog, it was no different from being a hundred miles apart on ordinary days.
After Lin Mu and Gu Yun communicated with each other, they suddenly sacrificed their own magic weapons and attacked the hemp-clothed cultivator.
The Five Elements Ring suppressed the light and tightly wrapped around the hemp-clothed cultivator's neck. He was trapped in place and could not move.
The hemp-clothed cultivator was shocked and was about to shout, but at this moment, a flying sword pierced through his heart.
A flash of blood passed by, and a gray spiritual power shield protected this place. The hemp-clothed cultivator was killed silently by Lin Mu and Gu Yun.
The white fog was just surging gently, and the others were too far away from here and did not notice the abnormality here at all.
Lin Mu and Gu Yun smiled, picked up the hemp-clothed cultivator's storage bag, and slowly sneaked towards another hemp-clothed cultivator again.
The white fog was as calm as before, without any fluctuations.
A counterattack has been staged gorgeously in this medicine garden!
