Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1445: Hunter

The group continued walking for a while, and Li Fengtu, at the front, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Following behind, Chen Xiaoyue looked at Li Feng in confusion.

Li Feng squatted down, reached his hand onto the ground, smeared something, and sniffed in front of his nose: "It's human blood."

"Human blood?"

Chen Xiaoyue was taken aback and also squatted down: "If it's human blood, how can it be so fresh?"

"Yeah, we chose this path. It's impossible for someone to be ahead of us, right? Are we going in circles and intersecting with other teams?"

Mo Fan spoke nervously.

"But we haven't heard any sounds of battle or cries for help." Li Nianqing said, furrowing her brows and looking up at the deep passage ahead.

The entire Great Maze had no lighting; all illumination depended on their own lighting equipment.

"The Great Maze is full of mystery. According to the Great Elder, in this maze, there are not only traps but also some fierce beasts that have entered and gotten lost from the inner circle. Additionally, there are hunters, who are also very dangerous."

"Maybe we've encountered some hunters."

Li Feng said as he took off his backpack. After learning some inside information about the Kunlun Void from the Great Elder, he had prepared some equipment.

Then, Li Feng took out several pairs of glasses from his backpack and handed them to the four beside him.

"What are these?"

"Put them on."

Li Feng directly put on the glasses. Although the night vision goggles were a bit cumbersome, once worn, darkness was no longer an obstacle.

After all, the magnetic field in the Great Maze was chaotic, and spiritual perception was affected.

The others followed suit and put on the night vision goggles. Mo Fan made a clicking sound: "Are these the night vision goggles used by warriors in TV dramas? Quite handy, why not take them out earlier."

"Are you dumb? Of course, such things are for us to use."

Chen Xiaoyue glanced at Mo Fan, who was acting silly.

"We might encounter a battle next. Let's adjust our formation; I'll lead, Mo Fan and Senior Sister Chen guard the wings, Xiang Tian will bring up the rear, and you stay in the center."

Li Feng finally looked at Li Nianqing; her combat power was the weakest among them. Although she couldn't play a big role in the maze, her presence was indispensable later, so she naturally had to be well protected.

"Mm!"

Chen Xiaoyue nodded, Mo Fan, Xiang Tian also had no objections, and Li Nianqing, knowing her shortcomings, didn't hesitate. The group immediately adopted a cross formation and continued forward.

Li Feng, as the vanguard, once again found some bloodstains on the ground.

"I smell blood."

Li Feng looked ahead; he was very sensitive to the smell of blood. Even if his eyes couldn't see it, his nose had already detected it.

"It's right up ahead."

Li Feng and the others had no retreat; in this Great Maze, if they didn't follow one direction forward, turning left and right would only leave them lost in the maze. Going back wasn't an option either.

After all, no one could guarantee that the other passages would be smooth sailing.

The group didn't hesitate and continued forward. Upon passing through the current passage, their view suddenly widened—this was a junction resembling an entrance.

But this junction wasn't empty; instead, it harbored a large tree with green fluorescence and numerous willow branches hanging down, akin to a Tree of Life standing in the center.

The surrounding space was illuminated, and the air contained firefly-like insects flickering with starlight. On the ground, instead of hard metal, there was some moss which also emitted fluorescence.

"Wow, this tree is so beautiful."

Chen Xiaoyue took a deep breath, captivated by the glowing tree with drooping branches like a maiden.

Instinctively, Chen Xiaoyue stepped forward.

"Senior Sister Chen."

Li Nianqing quickly grabbed Chen Xiaoyue and pressed her fingers against Chen Xiaoyue's forehead, snapping her out of it.

"What happened to me?"

"It's the air around us; it seems to emit a hypnotic substance, unconsciously hypnotizing. This tree must be extraordinary."

"This should be a Cannibal Tree."

Li Feng said.

"Oh?"

Chen Xiaoyue and the others looked at Li Feng. Li Feng raised his hand, releasing a domineering force towards a moss-covered earth mound on the side.

Suddenly, that mound was swept away by the force, and the layer of dreamy moss plant was overturned, exposing bones scattered all over.

"Whoa."

Chen Xiaoyue and Li Nianqing gasped in shock.

Mo Fan also widened his eyes: "This?"

"In the tropical jungles of the Southeast Continent, there is a kind of Cannibal Tree. Although such trees are completely different from this one, incomparable in any way, their properties are similar."

"This Cannibal Tree thrives on consuming flesh and blood. Its evolution into such beauty even emitting fluorescence is merely for hunting."

"Moreover, the fluorescent moss seems to be associated with the Cannibal Tree, surviving on leftover debris from the tree. It releases hallucinogenic spores into the air, causing people to unknowingly fall victim."

"Once targeted, stepping into the domain of this Cannibal Tree, you'll become its food."

Li Feng had spent time in tropical rainforests and had encountered Cannibal Trees, but none as perfect as the one before them.

It's like a grandson to an ancestor.

Perhaps the Cannibal Trees scattered across the earth are its descendants.

Li Nianqing scanned the entire area, furrowing her brows: "This Cannibal Tree is in the center of this region; its canopy covers over ninety percent of the area. To reach the next passage, we must pass through its domain."

"Let's give it a try."

Seeing this, Li Feng had no better option; retreat was impossible.

"I'll go check it out first. You stay here. Besides, don't we have oxygen tanks? Use them, and reduce inhaling the gases here."

Li Feng said, and with a tap of his toe, he directly entered the domain of the Cannibal Tree. Sure enough, the air was becoming increasingly thick with floating moss spores, forming aurora-like ribbons—beautiful yet deadly.

"Could we have guessed wrong?"

Mo Fan watched as Li Feng penetrated over ten meters, yet there was no sign of movement around.

Li Nianqing furrowed her brows as she looked at the calm region. Suddenly, she felt an ominous sign. It seemed as though she had seen something in her mind and quickly raised her head towards Li Feng.

"Li Feng, get out now; it's a trap!"

Li Feng heard Li Nianqing's shout, and his sixth sense also detected a sense of crisis—a self-awareness honed from years on the edge of life and death.

Such instinct had helped Li Feng avoid several life-and-death crises.

Without hesitation, Li Feng tapped his toes and sprinted back like a dragonfly skimming the water, but it was a step too late.
