“Boom！”
Before Gu Qingcheng could think it through, a huge rock suddenly fell from the sky and smashed straight towards the position where she was standing.
At the critical moment, Gu Qingcheng stomped hard on the ground with both feet, and with a “ceng” sound, her figure jumped up and landed steadily on an ancient tree not far in front.
“Peng！”
The next moment, the ground where she had originally stood was smashed into a deep pit by the huge rock.
Gu Qingcheng wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with a scared look on her face.
However, just as she stood still, she suddenly felt that the sky above her head suddenly darkened.
Immediately afterwards, she heard a sound like raindrops falling “crash”, but when Gu Qingcheng looked carefully at those “raindrops”, she suddenly found that it was not rain at all, but drops of boiling hot oil.
”Ah！~~~”
In an instant, in the entire mountain forest, there was once again a series of heart-rending screams.
Large numbers of refugees fell, and some were even directly stripped of their flesh and bones by the hot oil, and their death conditions were extremely tragic.
”Boom！”
Under no choice, Gu Qingcheng had to urge her true essence, use the body-protecting true qi to block the continuously falling boiling hot oil above her head, and then try to continue running towards the exit in the west of the mountain forest.
But immediately she found that her body-protecting true qi could not hold on for a moment and was pierced by the hot oil drops.
At the same time, the true essence in her body also began to pass at a visible speed.
”This… this place can not only weaken the defensive power of true qi, but also accelerate the consumption of true essence？”
Gu Qingcheng had a look of astonishment on her face.
She had to stop, fully urge her true essence and Cast an ice armor technique, wrapping herself with ice crystals.
To her surprise, the Ice Armor Technique that she could almost cast at will on normal days had now consumed most of the true essence in her body.
“In such a situation, trying to rush to the western exit is completely gambling with one’s life.”
Looking at the refugees who were desperately fleeing in front and falling at a visible speed, Gu Qingcheng’s heart gradually sank to the bottom.
Especially when she found that some refugees, like her, tried to use magic to resist the attacks of arrows, stones and hot oil above their heads, but the result was also in vain, the look of despair in her eyes became more and more intense.
And just when she was hesitant, the words that Xu Taiping said when they parted earlier suddenly came back to her mind——
“Miss Qingcheng, you can try to escape to the west. If you find that you can’t escape, remember to come back.”
At the thought of this, she suddenly turned her head and looked towards the ancient tree where Xu Taiping and the others were hiding.
At the same time, she muttered in her mouth：
“At this moment, the entire mountain forest is under the attack of arrows, stones and hot oil. I’m afraid they have already escaped from the tree. It’s impossible that only that tree…”
Before she could finish her words, a pair of eyes that were originally full of worry suddenly had their pupils dilated sharply.
Through her pair of dark pupils, it could be clearly seen that in the chaotic mountain forest, there was an ancient tree that, as if “forgotten”, stood is safe in the chaotic mountain forest.
”There… there is actually really… nothing wrong？”
Gu Qingcheng had a face full of disbelief.
And just at this moment, Gongshu Nanxing’s voice suddenly rang out in Gu Qingcheng’s mind —
”Miss Qingcheng, the young master asks you to come back quickly.”
Previously, in order to enter the seventh floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower together, Gu Qingcheng had already sworn an oath to the Azure Dragon Order and also became an Azure Dragon Armor, so they could communicate with each other through the Azure Dragon Order.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Qingcheng finally nodded and transmitted her voice to Gongshu Nanxing, saying：
”Thank you.”
After saying that, she once again pushed the ground with both feet and jumped up towards the direction where Xu Taiping and the others were.
Although she was a little reluctant, judging from the current situation, she had fallen behind in the competition with Xu Taiping’s Qi-reading and divination technique.
……
”Young Master Rusty Lion, I’m sorry for the trouble.”
On the ancient tree with huge beast claw marks, Gu Qingcheng, with an apologetic expression on her face, respectfully bowed deeply to Xu Taiping, Nanxing and the others.
Xu Taiping discovered that in terms of admitting mistakes when there was a mistake, Gu Qingcheng was extremely similar to her elder brother.
”Miss Qingcheng is too kind.”
He shook his head with a smile at Gu Qingcheng, and then looked into the distance and said：
”Thanks to your action just now, Miss Qingcheng, we were able to discover that we can’t casually Cast Technique and use true essence in this Black Mountain.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows and thought to herself：
This Rust Lion didn’t forcibly dissuade me before. Could it be that he wanted to use me to observe the prohibition of this place? What a deep mind!
In this regard, Gu Qingcheng really wronged Xu Taiping.
After all, Xu Taiping didn’t dissuade her, simply because he didn’t care so much about her life and death.
”Young Master, the hot oil from the sky has stopped pouring down, and the arrows and stones are not falling so frequently. It seems that the first wave of hunting you just mentioned should be almost over.”
Gongshu Nanxing looked at Xu Taiping with joy on his face at this time.
”Don’t worry. It’s not too late for us to go down until the arrows and stones stop falling.”
Xu Taiping vetoed Nanxing’s proposal.
In the picture within the soul mark of Lotus Pupil, only this tree is the thing used to meet the tribulation. So even if the hot oil from the sky has stopped pouring down and the arrows and stones are no longer falling frequently at this moment, he still doesn’t dare to take risks.
”Boom！…”
As if to prove Xu Taiping’s words, accompanied by a deafening air explosion, a “rain of arrows” suddenly fell all at once from the sky.
”Bang！”
The impact force of several thousand thick arrows the thickness of a bowl shot down into the mountain forest first making the ground of the mountain forest tremble.
But even so, the ancient tree where everyone was hiding was still intact.
”Although there must be more than one intact tree in this mountain forest, being able to calculate this one tree among tens of thousands of trees in such a large mountain forest, the power of this Young Master Rust Lion’s qi-reading and deduction is truly astonishing！”
Gu Qingcheng, who was quietly watching this scene, became more and more frightened the more she thought about it.
”Everyone, the first wave of hunting in this mountain forest is over, follow me！”
At this time, Xu Taiping suddenly Sound transmission everyone while pressing his hand on the knife handle and leaping down from the tree.
Gongshu Nanxing and the others didn’t say a word and immediately followed suit, flying down from the tree one after another.
Although Gu Qingcheng was the last one, she just wanted to help with covering the rear and didn’t hesitate in the slightest to chase after Xu Taiping’s steps.
”Bang, bang, bang！…”
Just as several people were following Xu Taiping and running for their lives, figures fell from the air again, and upon closer inspection, they were still a group of refugees dressed in the costumes of the common people of Ningyuan Kingdom.
Roughly calculated, the number is at least two or three thousand.
“Driving the people of Ningyuan Country to one place to massacre and have fun, this is indeed very much like the style of the Ghost Tribe. But according to the map in my hand, there is no such Black Mountain in the territory of the Ghost Tribe.”
Looking at the refugees who were constantly groaning and getting up from the ground in the surrounding mountains and forests, Gu Qingcheng continued to follow Xu Taiping and ran at full speed, while muttering to herself in great confusion.
“Stop！”
Just then, Xu Taiping in front suddenly stopped and stood in front of a pile of Random stones .
This pile of Random stones was exactly piled up by the huge stones that had fallen from the air before. From a distance, it was almost like a small mountain.
“Young Master Rusty Lion, if we run for more than ten miles, we can reach the west exit. Why stop here？”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Xu Taiping very puzzled.
In her opinion, there were no arrows or Random stones above their heads at the moment, and it was a great opportunity to escape to the exit.
“It’s too late. The second wave of hunting is coming soon, and we have to prepare in advance.”
Xu Taiping said with a serious expression.
As soon as they heard that the second wave of hunting was coming soon, everyone’s hearts tightened immediately. The tragic situation of the first wave of hunting was still vivid in their minds.
Although Gu Qingcheng no longer doubted Xu Taiping’s ability to predict qi and deduce, she still instinctively calculated with her hands.
The result was not so good. As soon as she calculated, her face turned deathly pale, and then she murmured：
“This is a situation of certain death！”
