Chapter 188 Wood Escape
"There are three of us. Don't be so stubborn. If it doesn't work, we can think of another way out."
Although my mother can use wood-related magic easily due to her spiritual roots, including the wood escape technique, this magic consumes a lot of spiritual energy, especially at a longer distance, the consumption is even greater.
Normally, when she uses it herself, her spiritual power can barely keep up, but sometimes it is a bit strenuous to take Zhou Ling with her. Not to mention, there are three people who need to leave now. It is unrealistic to rely solely on her mother to use Wood Release to carry them away.
"Don't be stubborn, I have this."
Knowing that his daughter was worried about her, Zhou Li raised his chin proudly, suddenly raised his hand, took out a small bottle of spirit wine from somewhere, and shook it in front of Zhou Ling's eyes.
"Will this... work?"
Although the spiritual wine is very effective in replenishing spiritual power, it is also consumed quickly. If the spiritual power of the spirit wine is used up halfway through, and three people are attacked at the same time, it would be like running into the muzzle of a gun.
"Don't talk nonsense, trust me."
This time Zhou Li was too lazy to explain, so he bent his index finger slightly and tapped his daughter's forehead lightly.
Well, since my mother said so, how could she not believe it?
At worst, I could knock this Senior Brother Liu unconscious, then use the Apparition to take him away. Anyway, I have mastered this method now. Although my proficiency is not as good as my mother's, it is still feasible for me to run.
Action comes immediately.
The three of them did not waste any time and collected all traces of life at the scene. Zhou Li grabbed Zhou Ling and Liu Zhen on the left and right, silently reciting the Wood Escape Technique in his mind.
What they were standing on was the top of an ancient pine tree. At this moment, the wooden shield technique was activated. The aura of the three people was no longer that of a living person, but was gradually covered by grass and green plants, until they were wrapped tightly without leaving a trace of life.
Zhou Ling's scalp was numb with discomfort. Although as a cultivator, she could switch her breathing to internal breathing. Even if she was like a wooden man at this moment, she would not be suffocated to death. But the feeling during the wood escape was really... hard to describe!
However, there is nothing wrong with this way of escaping, except that it is a bit uncomfortable. Speed is one thing, but the most important thing is that as long as there are green plants around, it is difficult to alert other people by sneaking away quietly with the wood escape technique.
It is safe and fast. Mother learned this skill herself, and after she mastered it, she almost mixed it with her best skill, Apparition. As long as Zhou Ling follows her mother, she has no way to avoid it. Even if it is uncomfortable, she has to learn to adapt to it.
The three of them followed the roots of various plants underground and ran for who knows how far.
Zhou Li was actually holding her breath. It was her daughter's fault that she always looked down on her. This time, she had to try her best to see how far she could run by pushing this technique to its limit!
The spiritual wine in her body was used up, but Zhou Li did not give up. While the two people she held beside her were covered by the scent of green plants and could not see the outside, she secretly used her telekinesis to open the bottle of medicine she was carrying, took out a top-grade spiritual pill and stuffed it into her mouth, continuing to consume energy.
Although Zhou Ling, who was being led to run, could not see what was happening outside, he felt his mother pause for a moment. He was about to ask what was wrong and whether they could not hold on any longer. If they really could not hold on any longer, she would put them down. They had been running for long enough and might have already run out of danger.
But in the end, before he could even utter a word, inertia pulled his head back heavily.
Oh my god, what the hell is this sudden acceleration?
So the pause just now was to find a suitable opportunity to move forward?
Previously, Zhou Ling had been counting the time and calculating the distance in her mind, but now! She was being dragged left and right, feeling dizzy and her head was swirling. The time she had counted and the distance she had calculated were all shaken out!
When the mother finally couldn't hold on any longer, she popped her head out of the ground and removed the green plants covering them. The moment Zhou Ling landed, he did nothing else but turned his head and vomited!
"Ah!" She felt wronged and wanted to cry. If there were no outsiders present, she really wanted to roar to the sky, "Mom, what are you doing?"
They are mother and daughter, so who doesn’t they know? As soon as she sticks out her butt, her mother knows what’s in her belly.
On the other hand, it's the same for her. As a daughter, she sees her mother's every move most clearly.
He was just sulking with her, and that slight pause was definitely not to find the direction or anything else, he must have been secretly taking some tonic pills and drinking some wine!
What a sin! Although the top-grade elixir contains very few impurities, even the best elixir will still have some elixir poison!
Although the spirit wine does not cause erysipelas and has a quick effect, what is wine? Drinking too much will harm your body! No matter how angry you are, you can't treat your health like this!
"Look, is it far enough?"
But the person involved was totally unaware of this. Although his face looked pale, he was actually full of pride. He put his hands on his hips, raised his voice slightly, and raised his chin in his usual way, pointing in the direction he came from.
The terrain of the northern forest is relatively flat. They had been standing on the treetops before, with a clear view of the nearby landforms. Of course, they knew where they had escaped from and how far away they were from before.
Liu Zhen didn’t know whether this beautiful junior sister had tried her best to reach this extreme distance. He only knew that this junior sister was too strong, terribly strong, ridiculously strong!
Although her words and actions reveal pride and arrogance, and she lacks humility, this kind of pride and arrogance is worthy of her junior sister!
He gave a thumbs up without hesitation, his face full of pride and praise.
"Far enough! Junior Sister Damei is amazing!"
"That's right!" Faced with the compliment, Zhou Li accepted it without hesitation.
One dares to brag, the other dares to praise. Zhou Ling was stunned watching beside her. It turned out that she was the only one who was too realistic and didn't understand humor?
"Brother Liu, we are now in a safe situation. Perhaps we should have a chat about the topic you wanted to discuss before your epiphany."
After Zhou Ling interrupted them, he did not reveal the pain of spiritual exhaustion that his mother was suffering at the moment, and that the wood escape technique she performed this time, although it could move so far, had actually reached his mother's limit.
After all, even if the person is trustworthy, these fatal shortcomings cannot be easily exposed.
Let him mistakenly think that they are very strong. They will be separated anyway, so it doesn’t matter to him whether they are strong or weak.
"Well, I understand. Then I wish you two junior sisters a safe and smooth journey in the next operation."
"Thank you, Senior Brother. I also wish you can spend the next few days safely and soundly. When the secret realm is closed, go out and enjoy the good times."
Everyone is good at making polite remarks, but it's not all politeness. There must be sincerity in what the two of them said.
