Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 95 The Monster in the Woods

Xu Yan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes unwavering, as if burning with a raging fire, staring straight into the distance.

Then, he took a deep breath and spoke in a resolute and unquestionable tone.

"No matter what difficulties and obstacles await us ahead, and no matter how slim the hope of success may be, we will try bravely without hesitation! Even if there is only a sliver of hope, even if we are battered and bruised, we will never back down even a step!"

Wen Xingyu echoed, "That's right, we will definitely succeed."

Seeing how determined they were, I was deeply moved. Is this what friendship is?

So the three of them bid farewell to this mysterious space and set off for the Eastern Wood Warehouse Forest as guided by the signs.

As soon as they stepped into the wood forest, they felt a strong sense of vitality, but at the same time, countless eyes were watching them from the shadows.

Xu Yan drew her sword and said warily, "Everyone be careful. This place may seem peaceful, but it is actually fraught with danger."

The group nodded and slowly ventured deeper into the mysterious wood forest, searching for the traces of the spirit pearl.

They walked carefully, the fallen leaves under their feet making a soft rustling sound.

Suddenly, a giant vine monster attacked from the side, its vines sweeping towards the group like steel whips.

Xu Yan reacted swiftly, slashing several vines with her sword and exclaiming, "This is probably a monster guarding the Spirit Orb!"

Wen Xingyu and Huan Yuechu reacted quickly, rolling to the side and hiding behind a big tree.

Enraged, the vine monster unleashed even more vines that began to dance wildly.

Xu Yan dodged while searching for the monster's weakness.

Just then, Wen Xingyu suddenly noticed a faint glow emanating from the roots of the vine monster.

She shouted, "Brother Xu, there seems to be something at the base of the monster! Maybe it's a weak point!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan seized the opportunity and suddenly rushed towards the roots of the vine monster.

Upon seeing this, the vine monster unleashed all its vines towards Xu Yan.

Upon seeing this, Huan Yue formed hand seals and chanted incantations, creating a barrier in front of Xu Yan that temporarily blocked the vine attack.

Xu Yan seized the opportunity to get close to the base and stabbed down with her sword.

The vine monster let out a miserable scream, and its roots shone brightly, sending Xu Yan flying.

Wen Xingyu and Huan Yuechu rushed over to help Xu Yan up.

Xu Yan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "This vine monster is a bit strange; the power of its roots is very strong."

At this moment, the vine monster seemed even more enraged by the attack, its originally green body turning bright red, and the surrounding trees began to shake violently.

Huan Yuechu frowned and said, "A direct attack like this won't work. We need to find a way to distract it."

Wen Xingyu's eyes lit up, and an idea came to her. She picked up a stone...

He threw it forcefully to the side, and the stone landed with a sound.

The vine monster was indeed attracted, and some of its vines stretched towards the source of the sound.

Xu Yan seized the opportunity and charged towards the root again. This time, he avoided the strongest light from the front and went around to the side to stab it hard.

The vine monster writhed in agony, and the light at its roots flickered a few times before gradually dimming.

Seeing this, Xu Yan seized the opportunity to stab there again, and the vine monster writhed in pain a few times before collapsing to the ground.

As the vine monster collapsed, a spirit orb emitting a soft green light slowly emerged.

Xu Yan reached out and grasped the spirit pearl. At that moment, the surrounding trees seemed to come alive, their branches twisting and intertwining to form tree warriors.

"It seems this isn't over yet." Xu Yan gripped her sword tightly and handed the spirit pearl to Huan Yuechu behind her.

The tree warriors approached with heavy steps, their branches waving like arms.

Xu Yan rushed forward first, her sword blade slicing through the tree-man's hard bark, sending up a spray of wood chips.

The three had a clear division of labor: Huan Yuechu attacked the tree man's joints, while Wen Xingyu cooperated with Xu Yan in close combat.

But as the number of tree people increased, the three gradually became exhausted.

Huan Yuechu looked at the spirit orb in her hand and her heart stirred. After testing it, she discovered that the light of the spirit orb could affect the treant's actions.

So he ran to a high place, raised the spirit pearl, and under the intense green light, the tree-man's movements became sluggish.

Xu Yan seized the opportunity and unleashed her strongest attack. A sword aura swept out, severing many treants in half at the waist. The remaining treants also crashed to the ground, turning into ordinary trees.

A soft green light emerged from behind the monster; it was the Spirit Pearl.

Huan Yuechu held the two spirit orbs, feeling a strange attraction between them.

Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan also came over, looking at the two spirit orbs with curiosity.

“I feel like they can merge together,” Huan Yuechu said softly.

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow. "Merge? What will happen?"

Wen Xingyu's eyes lit up. "Maybe there will be something unexpected. Let's give it a try."

Huan Yuechu took a deep breath and slowly brought the two spirit orbs closer together.

When they touched each other, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth, quickly enveloping the three of them.

Within the light, they felt a powerful force surge into their bodies, and their fatigue vanished instantly.

As the light faded, the two original spirit orbs had merged into one, becoming a single spirit orb radiating brilliant light, with mysterious patterns flowing across its surface.

At this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and a huge vortex appeared in front of us.

"What is this again?" someone exclaimed.

"Whatever it is, we can only move forward." Xu Yan's eyes were firm as she led the way into the vortex.

After a dizzying spin, they arrived in a strange space filled with floating islands, each covered with bizarre plants.

Suddenly, a group of phoenix-like creatures, but engulfed in flames, flew down from the sky, shrieking as they pounced on the group.

"Everyone be careful!" Xu Yan shouted, drawing her sword once again to meet the attack.

Huan Yuechu tried to influence these fire phoenixes with the power of the spirit pearl, but to no avail.

Xu Yan skillfully dodged the fire phoenix's attacks while simultaneously devising a countermeasure.

He discovered that the Fire Phoenix would pause briefly each time it swooped down, and that was its weakness.

He seized the opportunity, leaped into the air, and unleashed several sword energies, striking several fire phoenixes.

Seeing this, Huan Yuechu and Wen Xingyu were greatly encouraged and joined forces to resist the attack of the fire phoenix.

Just when the three thought they could defeat the fire phoenix, an even larger fire phoenix roared in from afar.

Its entire body was ablaze with flames like the blazing sun, and the air distorted wherever it passed.

The three exchanged glances, each seeing a deep sense of apprehension in the other's eyes. They knew very well that the fire phoenix before them was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

The fire phoenix was engulfed in raging flames, each feather gleaming with intense heat, as if it were about to burn the entire world to ashes.

Standing at the very front, Huan Yuechu took a deep breath with a solemn expression, and then reached out without hesitation to pull out the hairpin from her head.

She gripped the hairpin tightly in her hand, and began to continuously pour powerful spiritual energy into it from her palm.
