C2423 Empty Land
"Can you keep up?"
Wu Fan gritted his teeth and nodded.
Jiang Fann said, "Don't be too reckless. This place is much more dangerous than you think. Don't forget Senior Wu's warning."
Xing Chou looked at the injuries on Wu Fan's body and was clearly afraid. Just now, he also wanted to chase after him. After all, he was the one who discovered the strange flame first. His combat strength was on par with Wu Fan's. If it was him who was attacked by the black shadow just now, he would probably have been hit as well. Wu Fan's injuries looked painful.
Jiang Fann looked at the fire mass that was flying far away. Then, he released his Spiritual Sense and sensed the aura of the black shadow, but he could not sense anything.
Zhao Xin summoned a Spiritual Treasure. As his Spiritual Strength was infused into it, it turned into an beetle that emitted a strong Spiritual Strength.
Zhao Xin said in a low voice, "Go!"
Then, he saw the beetle turn into a ray of light and fly directly in the direction of the strange fire mass.
Zhao Xin then said, "According to the speed at which the fire mass flew just now, I should be able to catch up with it. But what is that black shadow? I didn't see it clearly just now."
He Yu said, "That should be a life. It should be hiding in the forest. We have to be careful."
Jiang Fann said, "Don't waste time here. He will run far away in a while. The speed at which the Spiritual Treasure consumes Spiritual Strength here is much faster than outside. Brother Zhao, keep an eye on it. All of you, follow me."
After saying that, Jiang Fann started to move forward. His speed was not slow, and the others hurriedly followed him.
Beside Jiang Fann, their Spiritual Strength would not be affected. However, after flying for a few dozen meters, Jiang Fann suddenly felt a Spiritual Sense lock onto him. Soon after, a powerful Spiritual Strength rushed towards him.
Jiang Fann stopped in the air and immediately turned around to block it. The Spiritual Strength of the Mysterious Yellow Earth was attached to his arm, and he was unable to transform it in time.
Bang!
Jiang Fann's entire body shook, and he felt that his entire arm had gone numb.
Near his palm, there was a palm-sized humanoid fellow. However, the aura it was emitting was different from that of a living creature, and it was very strange.
That thing was almost touching Jiang Fann's palm, and it was clearly shaking a little.
However, it only shook a little before turning into a black light and disappearing into the grass. In an instant, it disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Fann wanted to catch it, but his palm was numb, and his reaction was a little slow, so it escaped.
He Yu and the others also reached out to grab it, but they were unable to catch it.
Wu Fan knew that this fellow was related to the one who injured him. Seeing that the other party's aura had weakened, he obviously didn't want him to run away, so he directly rushed towards the grass.
However, when he pushed aside the grass, he didn't find anything. That fellow had already disappeared.
Wu Fan could only fly back to Jiang Fann's side and frown as he looked at Jiang Fann's hand.
"Are you alright?"
He had just broken a few bones from that thing, and he was still in pain. However, Jiang Fann reached out his hand to block it, and there was not even a scratch on his palm.
Judging from this, Jiang Fann's defense was obviously much stronger than his.
Jiang Fann said, "I'm fine, but this thing is a bit special. Its power is shockingly strong, and its speed isn't slow either."
He recalled the feeling of contact just now. That thing clearly had its own consciousness, and attacking him was obviously helping that strange fire mass to get out of trouble.
Wu Fan said, "Is it the one that attacked me just now?"
"I am not sure."
At this moment, Zhao Xin suddenly said, "We caught up."
After saying that, she pointed in Jiang Fann's direction. Jiang Fann also calmed down and did not say anything else. He directly chased after them in that direction.
This time, Jiang Fann released his Spiritual Sense and focused his mind. If that thing that attacked him just now appeared again, he would definitely be able to sense it immediately. With preparations, Jiang Fann was confident that he could catch that thing.
In the next few minutes, the black shadow did not appear again. According to what Zhao Xin said, his Spiritual Treasure was not far away.
"It stopped!"
Zhao Xin suddenly said, then indicated for Jiang Fann and the others to follow him.
The group quickly caught up and actually arrived at the edge of the forest. In front of them was an open space.
Zhao Xin brought them to stop at the edge of the forest and did not go out immediately. He felt where his Spiritual Treasure was at, and his expression was focused.
At this moment, Jiang Fann was also observing the situation on the empty ground. Looking into the distance, he could see that this was not the edge of the forest, but an empty space that was enveloped by the forest. It was just that the area was very large.
Zhao Xin and the others did not say anything. They were also observing the surrounding situation seriously, not daring to be careless at all. After all, they had all seen the situation here before. They had yet to figure out what that mysterious guy was.
From the Spiritual Sense, no one could feel any strong life force. There were only some insects or birds, but they definitely were not the things they had encountered before.
Zhao Xin gave Jiang Fann a look, then transmitted her voice, "I can feel the location of the Spiritual Treasure, but it's in the messy grass on the empty ground. I can't see the situation there clearly. The Spiritual Strength of that ball of flame was not weak, but for some reason, we can't lock onto its aura."
"Float your Spiritual Treasure and see what's going on."
"Aren't you afraid of alerting the snake?"
"Let's see first!"
Zhao Xin understood Jiang Fann's meaning. She then activated her Spiritual Treasure and tried to fly it out of the grass.
However, the situation that followed made Zhao Xin feel a little awkward. No matter how he operated, the Spiritual Treasure did not react at all.
He Yu frowned and said, "Can you do it?"
Zhao Xin, "..."
Jiang Fann asked, "What is going on?"
"My spiritual treasure has lost control. I don't know why, but it is there."
Jiang Fann looked in the direction he was pointing at, but he was not in a hurry to move. Instead, he continued to ask.
"Is the Spiritual Strength of the spiritual treasure still there? Has it been destroyed?"
"I don't think so. I can feel that the Spiritual Treasure is connected to my Spiritual Sense, but my technique of controlling objects seems to have been cut off by something."
Jiang Fann confirmed the location of the spiritual treasure. It was only about ten meters away from where they were, which was not too far.
He then tried to release his Spiritual Strength to sense the situation in the area, but as soon as he released his Spiritual Strength, it spread out in that direction.
However, as soon as his Spiritual Strength left the forest, it suddenly started to dissipate. This feeling was very special, but it was also a bit familiar.
At this moment, the Martial God Token suddenly spoke, "The range of this empty space is too small. The Spiritual Strength cannot be maintained for too long, and it will dissipate on its own. It is similar to the room you were trapped in at the top of the pagoda."
"It is indeed similar, but it also seems to be different."
Jiang Fann tried again, and continued to release his Spiritual Strength out of the forest. However, the situation was the same as before. It could not be maintained for too long, and it quickly dissipated.
Zhao Xin was still trying to control the objects. Jiang Fann reminded her, "There's no need to try anymore. Your Spiritual Strength is unable to connect to the spiritual treasure."
"The Spiritual Strength has been cut off?"
Jiang Fann nodded his head, "You guys wait here for me."
After saying that, he took off the two pieces of spiritual jade that were engraved with arrays on his body and handed them over to Zhao Xin.
Then, he walked towards the empty ground alone, wanting to personally test the situation in the empty ground.
Everyone's gaze was locked onto him.
After leaving the forest, Jiang Fann immediately felt as if he was in a different world. The powerful Spiritual Strength around him suddenly disappeared, and the situation where it was like a Spiritual Strength Inheritance also disappeared.
The Spiritual Strength in the empty ground seemed to have been sucked dry by some kind of force. Jiang Fann was not in a hurry to move, but instead stood in place and gathered the Spiritual Strength in his palm to light a flame. Then, he carefully felt the consumption of the Spiritual Strength here.
Then, he discovered that even if he used his cultivation technique here, the speed at which he consumed the Spiritual Strength was also several times faster. However, it was impossible to recover the Spiritual Strength.
In other words, if the Spiritual Strength in the Qi Sea was completely consumed in this empty ground, it would be very troublesome. Even if he consumed a high quality medicinal pill to help him recover, it would not be very effective.
Jiang Fann withdrew his Spiritual Strength and walked towards the location of Zhao Xin's Spiritual Treasure.
Just as Jiang Fann came into contact with the grass, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura appear from the side. It was a black light that was extremely fast, and it arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
This thing was none other than the black light that had attacked him before, and it was also the black light that had attacked Wu Fan.
However, this time, Jiang Fann immediately noticed and attacked in that direction to block it.
"Be careful!"
The voices of the people in the forest rang out at the same time. It was obvious that they all knew what it was.
The black light once again collided with Jiang Fann's palm. This time, Jiang Fann's entire body trembled. He had instantly deducted more than 90% of the power of the attack. Many of the plants under his feet were shattered. It was obvious that the power of the attack had been applied to the ground.
Back then, Jiang Fann had learned this method of deducting power from the illusionary realm. Now, it just so happened to be of use.
Jiang Fann, who had been prepared for a long time, took advantage of the moment when the black shadow paused to grab it.
Then, Jiang Fann felt a pure Spiritual Strength rush into his fingers. The power was very strong, but he could clearly feel the movement of the Spiritual Strength.
Just as Jiang Fann was about to sense what this thing was, a flame suddenly lit up in the grass behind him. The flame turned into a two-meter-tall wave of flames that directly covered Jiang Fann.
Immediately after, Jiang Fann was surrounded by the scorching aura. Jiang Fann also felt the pure Spiritual Strength, but it was not affected by the power of this space. It was still surging.
Jiang Fann knew what the flame was. It was the flame that they had chased earlier. The Spiritual Strength of this flame was exactly the same as it. It should be helping the black shadow out.
Jiang Fann released the Spiritual Strength of the Heaven Burning Fire to isolate the flames, then locked onto the aura of the flames and planned to subdue these two guys first, then forcefully take them out of this place.
He forcefully released the Spiritual Strength to suppress the guy in his hand, then directly rushed towards the bushes where the flames were hiding. The Heaven Burning Fire gathered in his palm, using the power of this extreme flame to suppress the other party.
Wherever the Heaven Burning Fire passed, the plants would instantly turn into powder. Soon, the flame and Zhao Xin's treasure appeared in front of Jiang Fann.
Just as Jiang Fann was about to capture the other party, rays of light appeared from the bushes not far away.
