Chapter 686 The Island
Leng Yun's move at this time was not intended to use the tree demon to kill Ghost Vermilion Bird.
He simply wanted to deplete the power of the Ghost Vermilion Bird, so that even after he killed all the demon trees, the Ghost Vermilion Bird would be unable to pursue him and Lei Ting.
Therefore, Leng Yun waited for the right opportunity to make his move.
The giant wave of flames crashed down, engulfing the demon tree and the ghost Vermilion Bird.
However, while this flame is effective against wood-attribute demon trees, it cannot harm the powerful Ghost Vermilion Bird.
Before long, the wood attribute power within Leng Yun's body increased significantly once again, becoming even purer.
Now, with the support of the Triadic Power, the Wood attribute is no longer a weakness, and has finally reached a balance with the Fire and Lightning powers.
This is precisely why the bonuses provided by the Trinity Force are even more effective.
A few seconds later, the flames died down, leaving a charred trail on the ground that stretched all the way to the distant horizon.
The figure of the demon Suzaku stood there, panting heavily, clearly having exhausted all her strength.
The surrounding area was littered with ashes from the burning of the demonic trees.
Leng Yun smiled and said, "Ghost Vermilion Bird, I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he took Lei Ting and left, disappearing into the depths of the forest.
Ghost Vermilion Bird had no strength left to chase after him, her pretty face flushed with anger, but she was completely helpless against Leng Yun.
But then she thought about it again, and realized that Leng Yun had saved her life just now.
If those tree demons continue their attack, Ghost Vermilion Bird will likely perish here.
She was unaware that Leng Yun's purpose in killing these demonic trees was to obtain their wood-attribute essence.
She felt a little smug, thinking that it was her captivating charm that made Leng Yun save her.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a little curious about Leng Yun.
Meanwhile, Leng Yun led Lei Ting to a safe place.
Lei Ting snorted and remained cold and aloof towards Leng Yun the entire way.
"What a sentimental guy. I didn't expect you to even save Ghost Vermilion Bird. Be careful not to play with fire and get burned," Lei Ting said irritably.
Leng Yun gave a bitter smile. It turned out that Lei Ting also misunderstood that he was bewitched by the Ghost Vermilion Bird.
Lei Ting naturally didn't know that Leng Yun could obtain wood-attribute essence by killing the tree demon.
Leng Yun smiled and explained, then said to Lei Ting, "Let's continue, but we need to be careful here. It seems the people from the East Sea Demon Cave have already arrived."
What troubles Leng Yun even more is that these demonic trees can appear anytime, anywhere, and if caught off guard, he could suffer a great loss.
Fortunately, Leng Yun had the power of flames; otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome for someone from the East Sea Demon Cave.
On the other hand, in this mountain forest, Leng Yun's power is getting stronger and stronger. Although it is not an upgrade on the surface, the enhancement of the wood attribute makes the bonus effect of the three phases of power more and more obvious.
Leng Yun led Lei Ting towards the center of the Nanhang Forest. Having experienced the dangers of the forest, the two became much more cautious.
"It seems Master Wufeng is really in grave danger," Leng Yun thought to himself, then glanced at Lei Ting beside him.
If Master Wufeng dies, then probably no one can save Leiting.
The two continued walking through the endless forest.
Before long, Leng Yun, with Lei Ting, finally arrived at the center of the Nanhang Forest.
This is actually a huge lake with very calm water and a small island in the center.
It seems the legend was true; there really is an island in the Southern Airlines Forest, and countless treasures are hidden on that island.
“It seems that the most likely Master Wufeng is on this small island,” Leng Yun said.
Although separated by a large lake, Leng Yun could fully sense the power contained within the island.
Actually, that's the most dangerous place.
Lei Ting nodded; she and Leng Yun felt similarly.
"How do we get there?" Lei Ting asked.
Leng Yun knew why Lei Ting asked that question.
Logically speaking, the lake is not wide, and with their cultivation levels, the two could fly directly across it.
However, the calm lake surface gave people a strange feeling, which must mean that there was something wrong with the lake water.
Before Leng Yun could speak, two people suddenly ran out from the woods behind them.
Judging from their attire, they should all be from the East Sea Demon Cave.
It seems that Ghost Vermilion Bird brought quite a few subordinates with him this time.
The two did not find Leng Yun and Lei Ting's location, but instead looked excitedly at the small island in the center of the lake.
The two took off at the same time, heading towards the island.
Just as they were halfway across the lake, the two were directly above the water.
Suddenly, without any warning, the two people's bodies turned into fragments and vanished into thin air.
The scene was as if an invincible powerhouse stood in mid-air, blasting the two of them into dust.
Leng Yun was speechless, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he and Lei Ting hadn't flown over rashly.
This scene, under the clear sky, appeared particularly striking and eerie.
Lei Ting's face was deathly pale as she kept looking at Leng Yun.
Just as the two were shocked and at a loss, Leng Yun suddenly saw a small boat appear.
Just as if it appeared out of thin air on the lake, without any warning, the small boat rowed itself to the shore and stopped not far from Leng Yun and Lei Ting.
There was no one on board; it was completely on autopilot.
"What happened?" Lei Ting asked.
Leng Yun shook his head: "It seems we can cross this lake smoothly by boat."
For some reason, Leng Yun had this feeling.
Lei Ting nodded: "We have no choice but to give it a try."
Although she was a woman, she was, after all, the Southern Thunder Goddess of the Balance Sect, and was not someone that ordinary people could compare to.
The two men, skilled and daring, jumped onto the small boat without hesitation.
The boat was just the right size to accommodate two people sitting inside.
Then, the small boat started moving on its own, as if it had a spirit.
The small boat parted the water on both sides, leaving a long trail on the calm surface, and slowly headed towards the small island in the center of the lake.
Throughout the journey, Leng Yun kept his eyes fixed on the sky.
He secretly gathered all his strength and focused intently on his surroundings.
Because that invisible force could appear at any moment and shatter Leng Yun, Lei Ting, and even the small boat into dust.
However, the journey was peaceful, and no one attacked Leng Yun and his companions.
They soon arrived at the shore of the island, and Leng Yun and Lei Ting both breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that taking a small boat to this island is the right way; trying to fly over it will result in being attacked by an invisible force.
After the small boat dropped off the two people, it returned to the opposite shore of the lake, as if it were alive.
Leng Yun and Lei Ting exchanged a glance and walked deeper into the island.
The island is not large; if it weren't for the many trees blocking the view, one could see the whole island at a glance.
