Chapter 182: Young Girl and Silk Threads

Since he understood the cause of death of both, Han Li could only wish this fellow disciple who had gone to the Yellow Springs a smooth journey and an early reincarnation, and then searched the two without any politeness.

Anyway, people had already hung up, so Han Li naturally had to accept the storage bags of both.

He searched once, but didn't find them!

His expression became solemn, and he searched carefully a second time, but still didn't find them!

Han Li felt his hair stand up all at once. His heartbeat also accelerated.

There was actually a fourth person here, and it was this person who took the storage bags! Although it was highly likely that this person had already left this place, he couldn't guarantee that this person wasn't observing nearby, using these two corpses as bait, trying to find his flaws.

Opposite the cliff was a large area of thatch more than a person tall, which was extremely easy to hide people, and Han Li happened to have his back to the grass, facing the corpse and squatting. This made him even more uneasy! Perhaps that person was hiding behind him.

Han Li's figure didn't move, still maintaining a squatting posture. From behind, it seemed he was still focused on the corpse in front of him.

But in reality, he had raised his spirit to the twelfth level, had quietly taken out magic treasures and talismans, and his spiritual sense had spread out silently, trying to find the sniper who might exist.

The result of the spiritual sense exploration didn't surprise Han Li; everything nearby was normal, and there was no abnormal spiritual energy fluctuation.

This was nothing strange. Even if someone was really hiding nearby, that person must have used the "Invisibility Technique" to withdraw their own magic power, so naturally, it couldn't be explored. And Han Li's intention to use spiritual sense to search was just to beat the grass and scare the snake!

At the very least, it let the imaginary opponent not dare to act rashly.

And the result was just as he expected; either he was worrying about nothing and scaring himself, and there was no one here at all; or the observer saw no opportunity to take advantage of, kept their aura withdrawn, and didn't intend to make a move.

After a moment, Han Li stood up, turned around and looked at the large thatch several times, and then, without saying a word, suddenly jumped up, and after a few leaps, turned into a black dot, gradually moving away.

When Han Li's figure completely disappeared without a trace, a rustling sound suddenly sounded from the thatch! Then a slender figure walked out, actually a young girl in white clothes.

This woman looked young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her appearance was pure and her face was innocent and cute. It was hard to believe that such a delicate elf would appear in this place of killing!

Judging by her attire, the young girl should be a member of the Yanyue Sect!

The girl looked at the direction Han Li disappeared, smiled, and actually said to herself with the tone of an old person:

"Courage, wisdom, not bad, it's just that the magic power is a bit poor, and the aptitude seems to have even more problems, without much potential to dig. Otherwise, if he can live and go out, he would be a talent worth cultivating!"

"However, looking at the body technique he ran away with just now, it seems to be the light-body technique in the secular world, and it's not weak at all, it's really interesting!" The girl gently supported her pointed chin, and a look of great interest appeared in her big eyes.

If Han Li heard these words, he would only be dumbfounded.

The other party's words were too pertinent. With just a few words, she pointed out all his strengths and weaknesses, seemingly knowing him better than he knew himself.

"Let you go for now, I'd better go busy with my own business! But next time we meet, little guy! You won't be able to pass the test so easily." The girl wrinkled her nose, creating a shallow wrinkle, and said with some reluctance.

It seemed Han Li had become a new toy she had just obtained, which was quite attractive to her, making her not want to leave just like that.

In the end, the girl pouted and still took out a talisman, waved her hand, and the whole person disappeared in a dazzling green light.

If someone saw this scene on the spot, they would probably be heartbroken and curse this girl for being wasteful, actually squandering the "Wood Evasion Technique" talisman, which was rarely seen in the cultivation world, so casually.

This was a mid-level beginner talisman!

You must know, if an ordinary person had this Wood Evasion Talisman, they would worship it as a family heirloom and would only use it when life and death were at stake. It was the best life-saving weapon.

Han Li didn't know all this, and naturally wouldn't feel heartbroken. He would be even less aware that such a young lady with a prominent background was eyeing him. He was still rejoicing that he had easily gotten rid of his predicament.

Regardless of whether someone was really lurking there, Han Li didn't intend to pursue it anymore. After all, the closer to the central area, the more enemies there would be. Things like this kind of clever ambush and attacking others would gradually become common occurrences and happen from time to time.

Protecting his own life and trying his best to avoid all unnecessary fighting was the principle of Han Li's current actions.

Moreover, Han Li didn't really gain nothing from those two corpses.

Thinking of this, Han Li extended his hand, and a group of nearly transparent silk threads appeared in his palm. This was what he had grabbed on the way when he left, and it was the thread-like magic treasure that killed the Giant Sword Sect disciple!

Han Li injected some magic power into it, and the silk thread gradually straightened up, finally becoming a straight silk strip nearly ten feet long. Han Li drove the silk thread to dance for a while, and immediately felt the wonderful use of this thing!

If this thing was used well, it was truly the best weapon for harming people.

With its characteristic of being nearly invisible, and its extremely sharp cutting ability, Han Li was confident that he could make the enemy's head fall off without them knowing why.

I really don't know what material this silk thread was refined from. If the length were longer, wouldn't it be even more infinitely useful!

Han Li was full of interest, drove the silk thread to cut a dozen big trees nearby into two, without any effort. This made him overjoyed, much better than he had imagined.

Han Li didn't know that at this time, on the grass not far from the center of the Forbidden Area, the disciples of the Blade-Casting Dock and the Profound Heaven Sect who had met on a narrow path were fighting fiercely.

Because both sides had five or six people, they were evenly matched and met their match.

This was the first large-scale life-and-death battle in this Blood-Colored Trial, all because they wanted to enter the central area first to pick spiritual herbs. If they could eliminate their opponents nearby, that would be even more satisfying!

In the end, the Daoist priests of the Profound Heaven Sect were a notch higher, killing most of their opponents, while the remaining two from the Blade-Casting Dock were injured and fled, and they themselves were the first to break into the central area.

In the central area, there were not only various strange flowers and fruits and other heaven and earth spiritual objects, but also some powerful Level 1 beasts guarding them, which could compete with disciples at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Every time they killed a beast and picked the herbs, as long as spiritual herbs were born in this place again, those beasts would also appear inexplicably, although they were not necessarily the same species as the previous one. But this had already made the experts of the various sects extremely puzzled. Could it be that these beasts were also born out of thin air by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? This was very different from their previous understanding.

According to their understanding, beasts should be living creatures like wild animals, which could occasionally evolve into beasts with demonic power after years of unconscious breathing of the essence of the sun and moon. The probability of their successful evolution was not higher than the ratio of the birth of immortal cultivators among humans.

Moreover, for many years, the disciples of the various sects could only collect spiritual herbs on the outskirts of the central area. If they approached a little closer, they would be trapped or wiped out by some restrictions and traps that were still in effect. And the further inside, the more difficult the beasts were to deal with. With these little pawns, they couldn't repel them, so they could only honestly wander on the outskirts!

Regardless of whether the disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect could take the lead and pick the spiritual herbs!

At this time, Han Li encountered the biggest crisis in his Forbidden Area trip. At a narrow intersection, he was blocked by one person from the Spirit Beast Mountain and one from Heaven's Gate.

Han Li recognized this burly man from the Spirit Beast Mountain. It was the thick-bearded man who had glared at him before. Now he was looking at Han Li with a ferocious smile, showing an expression of "you are dead."
