The old man’s voice did not sound like that of an ordinary person, but echoed in Xiao Shi’s mind. Xiao Shi looked at the teacup in front of him and the tea inside. Looking at it with the naked eye, he could not see any difference. It seemed to be just ordinary tea.

His heart was pounding. He could clearly sense that the other party did not have any ill intentions. After all, if such a terrifying existence wanted to harm him, he could probably turn him into ashes with a thought. There was no need to specially invite him up for tea.

Although Xiao Shi could not figure out the other party’s intentions, no matter what, he could only obediently pick up the teacup in front of him and take a sip. The tea taste was fragrant and sweet, with a hint of bitterness.

After drinking it, Xiao Shi did not show any special changes. It was as if this was an ordinary cup of tea. After drinking the cup of tea, Xiao Shi’s vision blurred again. Then, he realized that he was no longer on the boat. Instead, he had returned to the riverbank.

When he turned around to look, the river was calm and the small boat could no longer be seen. Everything that had happened before was like a dream, making Xiao Shi feel adrift.

However, he was certain that everything that had happened before was real. It was not just a fake dream.

“What kind of… existence is this!?” Xiao Shi was very shocked.

During this period of time, he had seen many experts. However, he had never encountered such a mysterious mighty figure! The feeling that the other party gave him was completely incomparable to the experts of the current Tiandou Province.

Even the red tiger totem on his back could not sense any aura fluctuations from the other party at all. It was as if the other party had already reached a certain extraordinary realm.

“Could this be an existence in the upper three realms of martial arts?” Xiao Shi guessed.

The martial arts world was divided into lower three realms, intermediate three realms, and upper three realms. However, existences in the Upper Three Realms were extremely rare. Not to mention in the Tiandou Province, even in the entire Xingluo Territory, there was no one in the upper three realms.

Xiao Shi felt that this mysterious mighty figure was very likely an existence in the upper three realms.

Of course, this was just his guess. He had really never seen such a mighty figure.

Just as Xiao Shi was guessing the strength and cultivation of this mysterious mighty figure, his powerful perception suddenly sensed someone was rushing over at an extremely fast speed not far away. This was different from what he had sensed from the small boat. Now, he could sense it normally.

Through the aura he sensed, he could tell that the few martial artists who were rushing towards him were Blood Martial Realm martial artists.

Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. His body moved. As he hid to the side, his body directly entered the lunar state.

Soon, four figures quickly arrived from afar. They turned into four Blood Martial Realm martial artists in blood-colored clothes with blood-colored stripes on their faces and a shocking murderous aura on their bodies.

Through the pupils of one of them, he clearly sensed that this person’s pupils were exactly the same as the unknown strange bird that looked like an owl he had encountered previously. After this person arrived, he frowned tightly. “Where is he?”

He looked around in confusion. According to his tracking, the other party should be here. However, after he arrived, there was no one around.

“Could your tracking have gone wrong?” The other three frowned and asked.

“Impossible!” He shook his head in denial. His tracking could not be wrong. Although he could not track the exact location of the other party, he could track it to a certain range. Now, according to the feedback he had tracked, the other party was nearby.

However, there was no one here. This was very strange.

“He must be here!!” The Blood Martial Realm martial artist in blood-red clothes with blood-colored stripes on his face said firmly. He began to search carefully.

Xiao Shi was standing not far from them. Not only could he see their actions, but he could also clearly hear their discussion. He was not worried that they would find his location. After he escaped into the lunar state, as long as he did not take the initiative to attack these Blood Martial Realm experts, these Blood Martial Realm experts would not be able to find him.

Through his observation of these Blood Martial Realm experts, Xiao Shi realized that they were all Blood Martial Realm martial artists from demonic factions. He was not very surprised about this. He had long known that many of the demonic factions in the Tiandou Province were in similar environments.

After all, it was only in such a place that they could avoid being attacked by the orthodox factions.

“This person actually track me?” Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. He instantly realized that this was caused by him killing the strange bird earlier. This strange bird was the beast raised by the other party. Both sides could share their vision.

In other words, when Xiao Shi stepped into this rainforest and was seen by the strange bird, he had already entered the line of sight of this Blood Martial Realm martial artist. Regardless of whether he killed the strange bird or not, he was already targeted by the other party.

Xiao Shi closed his eyes gently. He checked his own situation. He needed to know how the other party was tracking him. After continuously checking his body, he soon realized that some blood-colored threads had appeared in his body for no reason.

It was obvious.

These blood-colored threads had silently seeped into his body after he killed the strange bird, preventing him from sensing it at all. The other party had used the blood-colored threads in his body to track him. This was clearly a method unique to the demonic faction.

Xiao Shi immediately used his intrinsic martial blood to clean his body.

Whoosh!

When his Intrinsic Martial Blood swept over, it immediately eliminated the blood-colored threads in its body.

“Hmm?” The Blood Martial Realm martial artist who was originally tracking and sensing Xiao Shi’s location suddenly frowned. He realized that his sense of Xiao Shi had been instantly severed. He could no longer track him. “Damn it!”

The Blood Martial Realm martial artist’s face darkened. He instantly realized that he had been noticed by the other party. Not only was he discovered, the other party had even cracked his tracking.

This situation was very rare. Among the orthodox factions, there were extremely few people who could crack this tracking method.

“The fat sheep slipped away just like that!” This Blood Martial Realm martial artist was very unwilling.

The other three also realized that the other party had failed. They did not care much about this. They just smiled. “Even if we fail here, he won’t be able to leave this rainforest. This is our territory.”

Xiao Shi was not in a hurry to leave. Through the conversation of these people, he had already learned that there was a demonic faction here. Anyone who entered the rainforest would attract the attention of this demonic faction.

As for someone from an orthodox faction like him, after entering the rainforest, they would definitely be attacked by these demonic factions. It was just like how people from the demonic factions were attacked when they entered the territory of the orthodox factions.

This made this rainforest even more dangerous.

“In other words, I’ve entered a wolf’s den.” Xiao Shi clearly realized the situation he was facing. However, he did not panic at all. As long as he was in the state of lunar and these people could not sense him, it would not be difficult for him to escape.

Xiao Shi’s gaze could not help but converge on these four Blood Martial Realm martial artists. He began to think. Could he kill all of them? For such an opportunity to kill a Blood Martial Realm expert, Xiao Shi did not want to miss it. Especially since he still had a huge need for blood martial-grade items.

Whoosh!

Instantly, Xiao Shi checked the Intrinsic Martial Blood in the bodies of these four Blood Martial Realm martial artists through the Crimson Blood Ghost Eye that had fused into the Red Tiger Totem.

Under the inspection of the Crimson Blood Ghost Eye, he could clearly see the martial blood in the bodies of these four Blood Martial Realm martial artists. He immediately saw that the Intrinsic Martial Blood of a Blood Martial Realm martial artist from a demonic faction was very different from the Intrinsic Martial Blood of an orthodox faction..
