Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 374 Mysterious Tree Hole

"We've fallen into a trap!" Old man Tianji's face turned pale and the walking stick in his hand almost fell.

Chu Tian's heart tightened, "Falling into a trap? What does that mean?"

Old Man Tianji pointed at the location of Death Valley on the map and said in a heavy tone, "This map is fake. Death Valley is not in this location at all! The real Death Valley is the location of the lair of the man in black! He deliberately let us get this map to lead us to his lair!"

Chu Tian suddenly realized, no wonder the man in black let them escape so easily, it turned out that all this was a trap carefully designed by him!

"Then what should we do now?" Chu Tian was extremely anxious.

Elder Tianji pondered for a moment, "Now that we have exposed our target, the man in black will definitely send people to hunt us down. We must change our route as soon as possible to avoid his pursuit."

"Where are we going?" Chu Tian asked.

Old Man Tianji's eyes flickered, "Go...to the Misty Forest!"

"Misty Forest?" Chu Tian took a breath of cold air. The Misty Forest had a complex terrain, was filled with miasma, and was inhabited by countless ferocious beasts. It was a dangerous place that few people visited.

"That's right," said old man Tianji firmly, "only there can we avoid being hunted down by the men in black."

After the two of them had made their decision, they immediately changed direction and headed towards the misty forest.

Along the way, they were careful and tried to avoid human habitation. However, the men in black seemed to have anticipated their actions and sent a large number of troops to chase and intercept them.

After several dangerous situations, Chu Tian and Old Man Tianji barely escaped the pursuers' encirclement by relying on their extraordinary wit and skills.

Finally, after several days of fleeing, they arrived at the edge of the misty forest.

Looking at the foggy forest in front of him, Chu Tian couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, "Old man, is this foggy forest really safe?"

Elder Tianji shook his head. "Although the Misty Forest is dangerous, it is also our only hiding place. As long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any big problems."

After that, Old Man Tianji took the lead and walked into the misty forest. Chu Tian followed closely behind, and the two walked cautiously into the depths of the forest.

In the misty forest, visibility is extremely low. The thick fog covers the sky and the sun, and you can't see your hand in front of you. The surroundings are silent, with only the occasional bird calls, which adds a bit of weird atmosphere.

"Old sir, we have been walking for so long, why haven't we seen the exit yet?" Chu Tian asked anxiously.

Elder Tianji frowned, "The terrain of the Misty Forest is complex and changeable, and I can't be sure of the specific route. We can only take it one step at a time."

Just as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew by, and the fog around him seemed to become even thicker.

Suddenly, a shrill howl broke the silence of the forest.

"What's that sound?" Chu Tian's heart trembled.

"Oh no, it's a Nether Wolf!" Old Man Tianji's face changed drastically, "Let's go!"

No sooner said than done, a huge black wolf jumped out from the thick fog and pounced towards the two.

The Nether Wolf is one of the most ferocious beasts in the Misty Forest. It is extremely fast and has amazing attack power.

Chu Tian and Old Man Tianji dodged quickly and barely avoided the attack of the Nether Wolf.

"Old sir, let's fight it!" Chu Tian drew out his sword and prepared to fight.

Old Man Tianji grabbed him and said, "No! The Nether Wolf is very powerful, we are no match for it! Run!"

The two men didn't dare to fight and turned to flee. The Nether Wolf chased them closely, growling like a demon from hell.

In the misty forest, the two of them ran around like headless flies, and the howling of the Nether Wolf behind them was getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, Chu Tian slipped and fell to the ground.

"Chu Tian!" Old Man Tianji exclaimed.

When the Nether Wolf saw this, a fierce light flashed in its eyes and it pounced forward fiercely.

At the critical moment, old man Tianji smashed the Nether Wolf with the walking stick in his hand.

The crutch hit the Nether Wolf's head, making a dull sound. The Nether Wolf howled in pain, fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then became motionless.

"Old man, are you okay?" Chu Tian quickly got up and asked with concern.

Elder Tianji shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Let's go. We shouldn't stay here for long."

The two did not dare to delay and continued running towards the depths of the forest.

However, what they didn't know was that this was just the beginning of a nightmare... In the depths of the thick fog, a pair of scarlet eyes were staring at them, giving a creepy sneer...

The two stumbled and ran away. The thick fog was like a thick wall, blocking their sight and swallowing their hopes. Chu Tian's heart was beating violently, and every breath was like a bellows, wheezing. He felt dry mouth and throat, as if there was fire burning in his throat.

"Old sir, can we...can we still escape?" Chu Tian asked, panting, with a hint of despair in his voice.

Old Man Tianji did not answer, but gritted his teeth and pounded the ground with his cane, supporting the two men to continue moving forward. His face was pale, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. It was obvious that he had reached his limit.

Suddenly, Old Man Tianji stopped and pointed to a huge dead tree in front of him. There was a dark hole in the trunk and he said, "Chu Tian, ​​let's hide in there first!"

The two of them didn't have time to think about it, so they went into the tree hole. The tree hole was small and the air was filled with a rotten smell. Chu Tian covered his nose and endured the discomfort.

"Old sir, we..." Chu Tian was about to speak, but was interrupted by old man Tianji.

"Shh!" Old Man Tianji put his index finger on his lips, signaling Chu Tian not to make a sound.

The two held their breath and listened attentively to the noise outside.

"Ouch——"

The howl of the Nether Wolf sounded again, this time, the sound was clearer and closer.

Chu Tian's heart sank suddenly. He knew that the Nether Wolf had discovered their tracks.

"Crack!"

The sound of branches breaking was heard, and then a huge black shadow appeared at the entrance of the tree hole.

Nether Wolf!

It stared with scarlet eyes, let out a low roar, and its sharp fangs flashed coldly in the darkness.

Chu Tian and old man Tianji pressed tightly against the inner wall of the tree hole, not daring to move.

The Nether Wolf lingered at the entrance of the tree hole for a while, seemingly hesitating whether to go in.

Just then, there was a noisy sound of footsteps coming from the distance.

"Someone is coming!" Chu Tian said in a low voice.

Old man Tianji frowned, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"Ouch——"

The Nether Wolf seemed to have heard the footsteps as well. It let out an unwilling howl, turned around and disappeared into the thick fog.

"Let's go out!" Old Man Tianji made a prompt decision.

The two carefully climbed out of the tree hole.

In the thick fog, a group of people dressed in black appeared, holding sharp blades and with fierce eyes.

"Yes...it's them!" Chu Tian exclaimed.
