Kacha!

Qingfeng Li pinched his fingers and broke the sharp end of the tree root, revealing the blood inside with a pungent, iron-like smell.

Needless to say, the tree root had devoured some humans and sucked their blood.

After the tree root was broken, a dozen more root twigs shot out from underground to avenge the broken one.

With so many root twigs shooting at him, Qingfeng Li couldn't block them with only two fingers.

He drew the Golden Light Sword and roared, "Sky-Roaming Golden Light."

A golden sword aura storm formed in the air and cut into the dozen root twigs, breaking them all.

At the sight of Qingfeng Li's power, the remaining roots were frightened and retreated back underground.

Of course, he had scared off only one tree, and there were over 100 red ancient trees standing behind which were not afraid of Qingfeng Li.

"Boss, you are amazing," Daoist said, giving Qingfeng Li a thumbs-up.

A trace of admiration appeared on Alice's charming face. Since she joined Qingfeng Li's team, she had witnessed too many miracles, with Qingfeng Li becoming stronger each time.

As Qingfeng's woman, she had supported and encouraged him in her own silent way.

Qingfeng Li smiled faintly and didn't speak. Then he led the group to continue their journey.

They thought that the ancient red trees had stopped attacking them due to their fears, but they were sadly mistaken. When they walked into an area surrounded by over 100 ancient red trees, the ancient red trees launched attacks on them all at once.

Swoosh, swoosh…

Over one thousand roots shot up from underground. With a dozen or so roots for each tree, there were over one thousand roots attacking them.

The attacking roots were so dense that they blotted out the sky when they shot toward Qingfeng Li and others.

"What the f*ck, the ancient trees had gone mad," Seeing the thousand roots shooting toward him, Qingfeng Li cursed.

He knew that the roots were extremely hard and sharp and were thus extremely lethal.

He could use the Golden Light Sword to cut several dozen roots, but with more than 1,000, there were too many for him to defend against.

And he needed to protect the people around him as well.

Qingfeng Li decided to play his best card, Golden Flame. Since he could only use it twice each day, he still had one use of it today after burning off the devil's arm.

"Golden Flame." With his thought, Qingfeng Li released the Golden Flame from his body.

The Golden Flame contained terrifying high temperature, and the moment it touched the roots, it burned them into flaming torches.

Some roots tried to run but the fire spread so quickly, and the temperature was so high that they had no time to run at all.

Rumble…

Thousands of roots burned into a pile of dust in a short while.

Since the roots were the essence and the source of strength of the ancient red trees, the trees died too when the roots were burned.

While one hundred or so trees died, there were still tens of thousands of ancient trees in the giant forest.

"The human is very powerful. I'm afraid we are no match for him."

"Yeah, he emits a strong presence, and I guess he is at least a master above the Spirit King Realm."

"We better retreat."

At the sight of Qingfeng Li's power, the surrounding low tier demonic beasts' expressions all changed. They talked among themselves and backed off.

Of course, not all demonic beasts were afraid of Qingfeng Li. Some powerful ones were bold enough to continue to follow him.

"Boss, we still have demonic beasts following us," Daoist said with a backward glance.

Qingfeng Li smiled lightly, "It's okay. I will kill them if they dare to show their faces."

With that said, he led the group to continue their journey. This time, he put Black Puppy at the front since its sensitive nose could smell the scent of the Cat of Fate.

Not long after their departure, several people came into the red forest, including Camilla, the Vampire Queen, and Xianxian Mu from Huaxia.

Xianxian Mu was with a handsome young man. On his back, he carried a big saber made of bamboo that was emitting a powerful presence.

At the sight of these two people, Camilla left quickly without starting a fight since her purpose was searching for the cat.

Qingfeng Li asked, "Black Puppy, have you found the scent of the Cat of Fate?"

Black Puppy nodded, "Yes, it's in the northeast direction and about twenty miles away."

Pleased, Qingfeng Li led the group and ran in the northeast direction. They arrived at their destination shortly.

There was a big pond with an area of at least 500 square meters. The water in the pond was clear, and it reflected green light.

Most importantly, there were no trees around the pond within a distance of two kilometers. It was an open space with sunshine.

Upon arriving, Qingfeng Li told his group to extinguish their torches and turn off the flashlights since they were no longer needed.

"Puppy, where is the Cat of Fate?" Qingfeng Li asked Black Puppy after looking around.

Black Puppy pointed ahead and said, "It's hiding near that pond."

Qingfeng Li looked around and found only trees, grass, flowers, and some hedges around the pond.

The flowers and ivy had grown very tall, some of them even taller than an adult. It would be hard to find a cat that was 20 centimeters at most among them.

Qingfeng Li found AlJohn, the Red Cloaked Cardinal, who was muttering to himself with the Book of Gods in his hand by the pond.

Besides AlJohn, many self-cultivators from the Tiger Continent were gathered.

They were members of the Holy See and other forces and they stood in the distance staring at the pond with greedy eyes.

"Boss, what's the old fellow doing?" pointing at Al John, Daoist asked.

After a moment's consideration, Qingfeng Li answered, "He is facing the pond saying something to the creatures in the pond. Is it possible that the Cat of Fate is in the pond?"

Black Puppy said, "The Cat of Fate can transform itself into different shapes including a water snake. It's possible that the cat is hiding in the pond."
