It was a sea of burning trees, sparks rising from the black trunks, branches swaying with the heat, and the flames were its leaves. Looking at the ground beneath our feet, although it had long been scorched by the flames, there were many red flowers growing on it, and these flowers were wrapped in flames and swayed with the heat. A butterfly flapped its fire wings and flew to Liu Xinghe's face, and the fiery butterfly dissipated instantly as soon as Liu Xinghe held it in his hand.

"Brother Shan, what kind of place is this?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it either."

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, even Liu Xinghe, who had visited countless planets, had never seen such a magical scene. The sky-high fire lit up the night sky, like day, and everyone carefully shuttled through the woods to avoid the tongue of fire on the tree, and walked for about half an hour, and finally arrived under the tree king that Boss Zhao said.

It was a towering tree with a towering trunk towering into the sky, huge vines coiling around the trunk, branches wrapped in flames, but the fire did not spread inward.

Fortunately, there was no fire within tens of meters below the tree king, which gave Liu Xinghe and the others a place to rest, so under Li Shan's arrangement, the hunters decided to camp and rest first, stay until dawn, and then go to the tree to find out.

"Brother Shan, I think this mission is too dangerous, why don't we go back."

At the beginning, when he first heard the two introduce the red kite, Liu Xinghe felt extraordinary, and after arriving at this strange sea of fire, Liu Xinghe was even more sure that this mission was dangerous, although he was very short of money now, but his intuition told him that this time he would face a simple opponent, and it was more suitable that there were many ordinary people here, so Liu Xinghe proposed to let Li Shan give up this mission.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Li Shan thought thoughtfully, since Liu Xinghe easily defeated Wang Da of the Iron Bone Realm last time, Li Shan found that this young man was by no means an idle person, and recalled the previous experience of hunting with him, not to mention his rapid bow and arrow skills, Liu Xinghe's instinct to hunt from the forest alone made Li Shan sigh to himself, Liu Xinghe had helped everyone to avoid ferocious beasts in the forest many times, and he seemed to know the whole jungle well, thanks to Liu Xinghe, Li Shan They captured many large beasts that they once dared not face, and their income also increased several times, therefore, The hunting team in the village is actually headed by Liu Xinghe now, and even Li Shan is used to obeying Liu Xinghe's command.

"Okay, let's take a break and talk to them later.

Two hours later, everyone regained their strength slightly, and a group of people gathered around, waiting for Li Shan to give orders.

"Everyone, I just discussed it with Xinghe, the situation here has exceeded our imagination, I am worried that the next action will be dangerous, you should forget it, go back first.

Li Shan's words caught all the hunters unexpected, and they exchanged their heads one by one, while Liu Xinghe leaned against the tree and bowed his head in contemplation.

Just when everyone was at a loss, two young men stood up and said to Li Shan: "Brother Shan, we have gone through many hardships along the way, and we finally came here, and we are really unwilling to give up like this.

"That's right, Brother Shan, although this place is weird, but we haven't encountered any danger after all, it's better to go up and have a look first, if there is really any danger, it's not too late to leave." What's more, Boss Zhao still has a thousand taels of silver waiting for us, so it's a pity to leave like this. Hearing

a thousand taels of silver, all the hunters were enthusiastic, after all, a thousand taels was enough for a family in the village to eat and drink for the rest of their lives. Not to mention the others, even Li Shan was unwilling to give up easily, he turned his head to look at the figure leaning under the tree, his eyes were full of pleading.

Liu Xinghe shook his head and sighed lightly, how could he not be moved, if it weren't for the safety of everyone, Liu Xinghe would go up and fight even if there was only one person.

Looking up at the top of the tree, he couldn't see the end at a glance, the scorching breeze hit the door, Liu Xinghe licked his chapped lips, he knew that it was impossible for the hunters to return easily, and it would be counterproductive if they were forced to go, so Liu Xinghe nodded helplessly at Li Shan. Receiving Liu Xinghe's signal, Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately agreed to go up the tree to find the nest, everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, and immediately set off to prepare to go up the tree.

......

"Why is this tree so high, why haven't we seen anything

after climbing for so long?" "Yes, we've been climbing for about half an hour, or maybe it's been thousands of meters, so why isn't there anything?"

"Hey, do you think that this place seems to have just been here. "

It's been almost half an hour since everyone climbed the tree, but after climbing nearly a thousand kilometers along the vine, I still don't see anything, except for the bare trunk.

"Let's climb up a little longer. As he spoke, Liu Xinghe took out a dagger and stuck it on the trunk of the tree.

Half an hour later, everyone looked at the dagger above.

"It's... This... It's not going to be a ghost.

"No, it's not the unjust souls burned in the forest who have come to us to ask for their lives. I

don't know who said this, but the hunters began to pray to the gods and worship the Buddha. Looking at the people who were in a mess, Liu Xinghe looked around and frowned, he naturally didn't believe that this was a ghost.

The so-called ghost hitting the wall refers to the phenomenon that people walk forward only by their own feelings because they can't see the direction clearly in the dark environment, but because of the asymmetry of the human body, the direction shifts and turns.

But this red flame forest has long been illuminated by the flames of the treetops as if it were day, and everyone is indeed climbing in one direction, so why is this

? Liu Xinghe was puzzled: "The thousand-meter-high giant tree?

Liu Xinghe reached out and took out a brocade bag from his pocket, which was the frost fruit powder that Boss Zhao handed over to everyone that day to break the barrier.

"Enchantment?" Thinking back to Boss Zhao's words, Liu Xinghe seemed to have something in mind.

So Liu Xinghe opened the brocade bag and poured half a bag of powder on the palm of his hand, and a bone-chilling chill came from the palm of his hand, which made him shiver. Then Liu Xinghe raised his hand and sprinkled the powder in his hand into the air. The blue powder melted in an instant in the heat wave, turning into a cold mist that wrapped everyone and isolated them from the scorching flames, a breeze blew, the mist gradually dispersed, and the scene in front of them surprised everyone, and the group actually returned to the ground.

When the smoke cleared, everyone found themselves back on the ground, and for a moment they were at a loss, they looked at me and I looked at you, their eyes full of doubt.

"It seems that this is the enchantment that Boss Zhao said, it made us hallucinate and keep spinning in place.

Just as Liu Xinghe was still thinking about whether he should continue the mission, suddenly, a crisp bird cry resounded in the sky, and the hunter's intuition made everyone immediately crouch under the tree. Looking up, there was a huge bird's nest on a big tree about five or six stories high, and a giant bird wrapped in flames rose into the air, fluttered two or three times and flew a hundred meters away. Everyone hid under the tree, and the atmosphere did not dare to gasp, until the red figure disappeared into the sight of the breath of relief.

"What is that, is it a phoenix, but doesn't a phoenix have three legs?"

"Stupid, the three-legged one is a golden bird, this should be the red kite that Boss Zhao said, it's really scary." "

This thing can't be a youkai, is it, it's the ghost we encountered before?" The

frightened hunters retreated as they marveled at the situation in front of them. Liu Xinghe and Li Shan glanced at each other, Liu Xinghe felt a huge elemental fluctuation from the giant bird just now, and although Li Shan didn't understand, the hunter's sixth sense told him that this monster was definitely not something that their group could deal with. The two nodded heartily, and then Li Shan took the lead, preparing to organize everyone to retreat.

"No, I won't let this duck fly.

Just as Li Shan persuaded everyone to give up the task and go back, two young men walked out.

"If you want to go, you can go, and I will get this thousand taels of silver.

"Li Liang, Li Zhu, what are you doing.

"Brother Shan, I'm sorry, we two brothers really need this thousand taels of silver, so we won't go back. "

These two young men are named Li Liang and Li Zhu, they are two brothers, and they also persuaded everyone not to go back.

"Li Liang, Li Zhu, are you two crazy, that big bird must be a demon beast, that is something that even those monks and immortals in the city dare not deal with easily, just how dare we mortals steal its eggs.

"That's right, I remember that the hunters in the next village once encountered demon beasts, and I heard that more than 20 people, none of them came back, and they were all eaten. "

That's right, Li Liang, Li Zhu, don't be stupid, let's leave before the big bird finds us."

"No, Brother Shan, our brother really needs this money.

Everyone advised Li Liang and Li Zhu not to take risks when they went back, but the two were unmoved, and finally, Li Shan was angry.

"Li Liang, Li Zhu, are you two deliberately going against me, now that so many people are here, that big bird doesn't know when it will come back, do you want everyone to play with you together, forget about them, let's go."

Seeing that Li Shan, who was usually calm, had such a big fire this time, everyone was silent, and Li Zhu, the younger of the two brothers, cried directly, and Liu Xinghe on the side walked up and asked softly when he saw this: "Zhuzi, do you two brothers urgently need this money for what?"

Li Zhu raised his immature face, which had not yet completely taken off, and said in a choked voice: " Brother Xinghe, my mother is sick, and the doctor in the city said that he would use Tianshan Snow Lotus as a medicine primer, but a snow lotus will cost five hundred taels of silver, we, we really don't have so much money, woo.

After listening to Li Zhu's words, everyone sighed, these two brothers are hard-working children, Li Zhu has no father before he is a year old, the two were raised by their mother, and now the two can finally be independent, but the mother is sick, the two brothers are stubborn people like their mothers, unwilling to rely on the charity of the villagers, and have been working hard to make money, but the sky-high medical expenses are like a bottomless pit that swallows the two, watching the mother's body get worse day by day, the two brothers are anxious, until the arrival of Boss Zhao, and now the two brothers have made up their minds, even if they die, they must take down the thousand taels of silver。
