Darnell and his men rushed into the bamboo forest like a gust of wind.
The bamboo forest covered a vast area.
Unlike any other bamboo forest anywhere, the bamboos here were so thick that it would take a full grown adult to encircle the trunk with his arms.
With that kind of width, the bamboos towered high up in the air, taller than trees. Whenever a strong wind blew and passed through the forest, they would let out a loud and eerie howling sound.
Deep in the forest, the team wandered around but got nothing.
A moment later, Darnell's men began to panic.
They had been going around in circles and it seemed like they were coming back to the same spot.
"This is not good. Darnell, I think we are lost."
"This bamboo forest is like a giant maze."
"I feel dizzy."
"Damn it! Yeah, something is definitely wrong. I can't tell which way is the right way, either," Darnell said as he became alert.
His eyes darted back and forth to check if there was any danger lurking behind the thick bamboo stalks.
Just then, there was rumbling sound followed by a strong tremor.
Around them, thick bamboos shot out and rose from the ground.
They had barely reached full growth when they turned into sharp golden arrows, coming at the squad from all directions and at a terrifying speed.
At the same time, a large amount of yellow Earth Energy gushed out from the ground like a dusty cloud of smoke.
It then formed massive yellow cage, shot up and flew towards Darnell and his men.
"Watch out!" Darnell screamed at his team.
As one of the cages was about to land on him, he swung the machete just in time, sending the yellow cage pummeling in the opposite direction.
The other team members also took action and took on a defensive stance forming a circle facing outward to protect each other.
"Austin, the geomancy array you set up seems very powerful!"
Otis remarked, shocked and in awe as he and Austin hid at a safe distance where they could watch the entire scene unfold.
"This bamboo forest is of metal elements in nature. I made the Metal Trapping Array so that I can use the metal attribute Earth Energy to take down the enemies.
In other words, I have turned the forest into a land of death.
It is less dangerous than the natural land of death.
But, it can distract this squad for a while and keep them occupied.
All right, Master Otis, it is time to take action and wipe out them,"
Austin explained.
"Okay! Let's get started!"
Otis nodded in agreement.
Whoosh!
Without so much as a blink, Austin vanished into thin air.
"Wow! That's awesome!"
Otis was amazed by Austin's speed.
"It's a trap! We fell into a trap! Come on. We have to get out of here.
Send a message to Aubrey and ask for help! Now!"
Darnell wielded his machete to fight off the attacking bamboos and cages as he tried to lead his team out of the hostile bamboo forest.
A booming laugh resounded behind them.
"It is useless, you fools! You can't escape me," a voice said.
"Who the hell are you?" one of the team members shouted back in a panic.
He felt a chill run down his spine because the source of the voice sounded too close to him, almost in his ear.
But before he could turn around, sharp sword lights appeared behind him.
The sword lights constantly hit him in the back.
Before he could even react, a giant golden fist appeared out of nowhere and hit him at the bottom of his spine.
The poor team member was just an ordinary medium-grade divine god. He didn't even have the chance to see who his attacker was. Austin was much too fast.
Eyes widening in untold fear, shock and horror, the medium-grade divine god exploded and his bones and flesh splattered everywhere.
Some of the bamboo stalks even appeared to have been painted red with so much blood.
After that, Austin unleashed the Peerless Lightness Skill and then activated the Chaotic Striding Boots.
Whoosh! In a flash, he again disappeared into thin air.
In the next second, Austin appeared behind another member of Darnell's team.
Austin launched all kinds of attacks on that member. The sword aura, dozens of earth dragons, and seven deities launched out of Austin's body and attacked his opponent as well. It was no longer necessary but Austin managed to even punch the man.
The violent energy released by Austin filled the space where the team member stood.
When Austin assaulted him, the man was trapped in the Metal Trapping Array busy fighting off the golden arrows and yellow cages.
By the time he caught sight of Austin, all attacks had landed on his body.
In a matter of seconds, another medium-grade divine god had died.
Austin was efficient when it came maximizing his time and his attacks.
It was not until now that Darnell and his men found that the young cultivator had terminated two of their companions in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it! Who the heck are you, brat? How dare you lay a hand on my men?"
