The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 665: Break Out, This Tree Has Become a Spirit!_1

"There’s blood here!"

Someone shouted from a distance, instantly drawing everyone’s attention, and then they all flew over.

This was a fairly smooth bluestone slab, sprinkled with fresh blood, but beyond that, there were no other obvious traces.

Ishaan Roth furrowed his brows as he looked around without uttering a word.

Francisco Smith shared his opinion, "The slab looks smooth as if someone had sat on it. Perhaps the one seeking help rested or cultivated here, and suddenly they were attacked. They only managed to release a distress signal before they were killed..."

Someone asked, "But there are no signs of a battle. With the area so open on all sides, any monster that launched a surprise attack should have been spotted, or at least there should have been some signs of fighting, right?"

Francisco Smith crisply replied, "If the attacker was a beast, it might have consumed the body on the spot. If not a beast, then naturally the body would have been taken away in a Space Ring."

Killian Jaramillo frowned, "Are you suggesting that the attacker was a cultivator?"

"Inside a blessed land, there are rules to follow, and one wouldn’t easily resort to murder. But in this Secret Realm, free of such rules, incidents of people killing for valuable treasures are not rare."

Francisco Smith spoke confidently, "It’s possible the attacker was from the same sect or a travel companion of the victim, lusting after what the victim had found, striking unexpectedly, and then quickly stashing the body in a Space Ring and fleeing in the confusion of the distress signal."

Someone asked, "Ishaan Roth, Uncle Master, what do we do now?" freeweɓnøvel~com

Ishaan Roth spoke gravely, "We’ll search again, and if we still can’t find anything, we’ll give up the rescue..."

Ishaan Roth hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly turned his head, staring intently at a certain spot on a big tree in the distance, his eyes flashing sharply as if tangible, and he shouted loudly, "Who’s there?"

Carson Flores quickly followed his gaze, just in time to see the corner of a garment disappearing into the dense thicket, vanishing in an instant.

A sense of tension gripped Carson Flores—had someone been watching them all this time without being detected by the group, and was that person the murderer?

Ishaan Roth took off flying, his form swift as lightning, closing in on the thicket in an instant, reaching out with his hand and bellowing, "Show yourself, you coward!"

With that grab, spiritual energy surged like tidal waves. In the air, a hundred-meter Luminous Giant Hand materialized and swiftly clasped toward the thicket, its might astonishing.

"Whoosh!"

Tree trunks snapped, leaves shattered to dust, and within a hundred-meter radius, the area was completely cleared, yet no one counterattacked or escaped.

Ishaan Roth with a creased brow, let his Flying Sword out, rotating in front of him as he plunged into the treetops, searching for any trace of the other party.

Everyone, including Carson Flores, had their gazes searching up and down the towering tree, looking for possible traces.

Carson Flores’s gaze shifted, but he suddenly felt something was off.

He looked up sharply, and his expression drastically changed.

This towering tree that originally shaded half the valley was now completely blocking the sky with countless extending branches covering the entire sky.

Carson Flores looked again at Ishaan Roth and discovered that behind Ishaan Roth, countless branches were extending, their red roots coming to life, waving gently like seaweed, soundlessly.

Not just Carson Flores, everyone else also saw this chilling scene. Francisco Smith shouted, "Uncle Master, be careful! There’s something strange about this tree; it’s alive!"

As Francisco Smith called out, the branches that had been extending silently in the air suddenly picked up speed. The floating roots snapped taut, their tips like arrows, all aiming and shooting simultaneously at Ishaan Roth.

Ishaan Roth was taken aback, and a shield of spiritual energy appeared around him. His Flying Sword flew out quickly, slicing at the serpent-like extending branches, and with his right hand, he flung out a handful of Explosion Talismans which flew in all directions like a flock of birds breaking out from its nest.

After the Explosion Talismans were thrown, Ishaan Roth shouted lowly, "Explode!"

"Boom!"

"Boom boom!"

Hundreds of Explosion Talismans detonated at once, each equivalent to the full-force strike of a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator. The massive explosion and endless flames instantly engulfed hundreds of meters, turning countless roots to ash and breaking branches.

In the air, there seemed to be countless moans, creating an incredibly eerie atmosphere.

Ishaan Roth yelled, "Break out, the tree has become a spirit!"

Carson Flores really wanted to slap himself. Had his own words been prophetic? He had only said that the tree was old enough to become a spirit, and now it actually had!

With a Mid-Nascent Soul stage expert around, there shouldn’t be much of a problem, right?

Just as this thought crossed Carson Flores’s mind, a dreadful scream from Ishaan Roth suddenly pierced the sky.
