Xiao Junci's expression changed suddenly, as he had just steadied himself when the tree branch beneath his feet snapped with a crack.
How could a perfectly good branch break?
Xiao Junci, skilled in qinggong, naturally wouldn't have broken the branch by stepping on it.
It turns out that just as Xiao Junci had ascended into the tree, several silhouettes swiftly approached from not far away.
Leading them was Hei Dian.
Following Hei Dian, there was a woman.
Dressed in light attire, she heard the noise ahead and saw Xiao Junci landing on the tree trunk.
Upon seeing Feng Xiaoli's pale little face, she did not hesitate for a moment; a crossbow appeared in her hand, aimed at Xiao Junci.
Xiao Junci had not expected, in such a dense forest, that there would be people appearing at this time.
Moreover, he was talking with Feng Xiaoli and hadn't anticipated an ambush.
The crossbow arrow emitted a few beams of cold light, hissing as they flew.
