The whole sect is full of villains, but the junior sister has a hole in her brain

Chao Zhao vented his anger at his fate as an ordinary passerby, and when he came to his senses, he found that Fan Lian was looking at him with a strange and loving gaze.

She felt strange being stared at by this gaze.

"......What’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing, nothing." Fan Lian quickly shook his head, "Are you okay? If not, let's stay a little longer."

"?" Chao Zhao's mouth twitched, "It's already dark, let's find a safe place as soon as possible."

"well."

Fan Lian agreed immediately, as if he was afraid that something might happen if he was late.

Her reaction made Chao Zhao even more certain that something must have happened while he was distracted.

Fanlian couldn't ask anything here, so Chao Zhao turned to look at Ying Li and asked, "Did something happen just now?"

Ying Li's eyes were gentle and calm: "Nothing happened just now, but now something has happened."

"Ok?"

"A group of monsters are rushing towards us a hundred meters away."

"???"

Chao Zhao and Fan Lian's eyes widened instantly and they said in unison, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Then the three of them started a new journey of escape.

"I have a question." Not long after running, Fan Lian suddenly said, "Even if we are in trouble, we still have a Yuanying and a Jindan. Why do we have to run?"

“…Yes!”

Chao Zhao suddenly realized.

Fan Lian got recognized and couldn't help but get excited, "Right, let me fight with these monsters and get points!"

"To you!"

Chao Zhao's expression suddenly changed, and he said expressionlessly, "Have you investigated the strength and number of the monsters? And do you understand the environment of this dense forest? If you rush in so recklessly, can you ensure that you can respond in time?"

After Chao Zhao's barrage of questions, Fan Lian was completely stunned. She said weakly: "...I haven't even thought about it."

Chao Zhao shook his head in dismay: "You are a sound cultivator, don't be like those sword cultivators who only know how to draw their swords all day long!"

"......oh."

Fan Lian agreed subconsciously, and then she came to her senses and remembered that Chao Zhao was also a sword cultivator!

A faint smile appeared on Ying Li's usually calm face: "The group of monsters behind us includes high-level monsters that have transformed."

Upon hearing this, Fan Lian immediately made a decision: "Then let's run!"

Chao Zhao's mouth twitched.

"run!"

So they continued to run.

Although there were some high-level monsters in the monster group, perhaps because they were moving together as a group, their speed was not very fast. Therefore, after the three of them sped up as much as possible, they soon left the monster group behind.

"...Is that okay?"

Fan Lian leaned against a big tree, breathing heavily. Because she had been running all the time, her spiritual power had been almost exhausted.

He looked up and found that Chao Zhao and Ying Li both looked calm, not at all embarrassed. Fan Lian's brain paused for a moment.

Ying Li could understand her.

There is a huge gap between Nascent Soul and Golden Core, but Chao Zhao...Fan Lian suddenly became angry: "Chao Zhao, you really are hiding your strength!"

"what?"

Chao Zhao responded in confusion.

This made Fanlian even angrier, "You said we were good friends, but you hid this from me!"

"..."

Chao Zhao reacted belatedly, and she really seemed to be unaware of any signs of spiritual power being lost.

After coming out of the cave, she realized that she would have a constant influx of power without having to deliberately enter a state of cultivation.

She simply confessed: "I'm telling you the truth. I just realized it too. Do you believe me?"

Fan Lian hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "...I believe it."

"Thank you, Fanlian. You are truly my best friend."

He blinked at Zhao, a happy and pure smile appearing on his face.

"...... Humph!" Fan Lian was quickly appeased by Chao Zhao's words. She turned her head away proudly, "This won't happen again!"

Chao Zhao: "Sure, let's find a place to stay overnight."

"it is good."

Fan Lian agreed, but suddenly he noticed a slight rustling sound coming from the big tree behind him.

"Walk--"

As soon as they blurted out a word, countless hidden vines emerged from the ground and tree trunks and wrapped around them at a rapid speed.

These vines were dark green in color, extremely thick, and had sharp barbs on the outside. After they entangled the three of them, the big tree that Fan Lian had just leaned against slowly woke up.

Eyes and a mouth gradually appeared on the tree trunk, which was as wide as five or six people. It was filled with a pale green light, which was strange and dazzling.

"Fanlian, don't move!"

Realizing that Fanlian was about to fight back, Chao Zhao quickly stopped her.

Hearing her voice, Fan Lian immediately stopped obediently, "Are we just going to let the vines tie us up like this?"

"Observe first."

After Chao Zhao finished speaking, he lowered his head and carefully observed the vines and branches that were tied to him. The more he looked, the more he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

However, before he could think of it, Fan Lian's excited voice immediately rang out.

"Zhao Zhao, have you finished observing? It's tightening its strength!"

Chao Zhao was speechless for a moment: "I asked you to observe, not to wait for me to observe!"

However, after being interrupted by Fan Lian, Chao Zhao suddenly had an idea in his mind, "I remember it!"

No wonder she felt that this winding method was inexplicably familiar, this was clearly the winding method she had taught the goblins in the forest before!

She murmured in disbelief: "Can grass evolve into vines?"

Fan Lian: "Chao Zhao, if you don't let me do it, I'm going to be strangled to death!"

Ying Li: "Chao Zhao, me too."

"........."

After hearing their words, Chao Zhao didn't bother to figure out how the grass mutated into vines. He could only try to talk to the tree spirit with a human face: "Hello?"

When Fan Lian heard her say "Hi", he was stunned.

"You've been observing it for so long, just thinking about how to greet it?"

Who knows the next moment——

The vines on his body, which were originally tightening their force, stopped.

Fanlian: “?”

Chao Zhao suddenly smiled and said, "See, it works."

Realizing that the tree could understand what they were saying, Chao Zhao continued, "Brother Tree, do you know the little goblin?"

"You know that grass in the other forest? That's my sister."

"You are all plants, so you should communicate with each other normally. Did it come to find you after it left the forest?"

As Chao Zhao persevered in dealing with the tree spirit, Fan Lian's eyes became more and more shocked. Could it be that Chao Zhao's mental state had reached this point?

However, when Fanlian was distracted, the tree spirit had quietly loosened the vines that were wrapped around them.

“…What the hell?”

Fan Lian was shocked, "It really works?!"

Zhao smiled shyly: "When traveling in the world, one must understand the ways of the world."
