"Wait, stop for a moment. Is this place strange? " Xu Dong patted Liu Zhuang's shoulders, signalling him to stop.
They had been travelling for about an hour, but they had encountered nothing along the way, not even a small animal. Furthermore, this place was terrifyingly quiet. Other than the footsteps of the four of them, there was also the sound of their conversation.
Liu Zhuang said with dissatisfaction: "What's so strange about that? Isn't it good to not encounter any danger?" He brandished his hammer. That was his weapon, and it weighed several thousand pounds. How could he lift it like he was playing with it?
Fang Hao stopped and turned to look at Tang Baiyu. Tang Baiyu waved his white jade fan, and spoke gently yet politely: "Brother Liu, I heard that the Black Abyss Forest is extremely dangerous. There must be demons in everything that goes wrong. Have you ever heard of this saying? So Brother Xu saying that this place is a little strange has its basis. Were we able to do it too easily? "
Tang Baiyu on the other hand looked at Xu Dong, although he had an average Martial Spirit, he had a brain. Tang Baiyu had the urge to befriend his, and thus got closer to his.
Tang Baiyu asked curiously: "Brother Xu, which city are you from? From the looks of it, you should be from a large family in a certain city. " A pair of eyes looked at Xu Dong inquisitively.
Liu Zhuang tilted his body to block Tang Baiyu's gaze, and shouted with some dissatisfaction: "He's together with me, naturally he comes from the same city as me. Who cares so much, so what if you are from a noble family in a city? " Liu Zhuang's protection moved Xu Dong, who patted his shoulder and continued to walk.
The four of them walked for another hour before they sat down against a towering tree. The sun shone through the thick branches, casting mottled shadows on the overgrown shrubs, and the ground was covered with flowers and grass as high as one's ankles.
Too quiet, terrifyingly quiet! The four of them were stifled by the tranquility. They wandered around for an hour before returning. They returned to the side of the towering tree and found that they could not get out!
"Damn it!" We can't get out! " Liu Zhuang punched onto a Skypiercing Tree, and the Skypiercing Tree actually devoured Liu Zhuang's hand.
"You three!" "Come over here and help me. I can't take out my hand." Liu Zhuang's voice even changed. His other hand wanted to prop himself up a tree, but he didn't expect that it would be swallowed as well.
Fang Hao thought for a while, then took out a dagger from his waist and slashed towards the Heavenly Tree. Unexpectedly, even the dagger was swallowed by the Skypiercing Tree.
"This tree is so big, I wonder how many things it has devoured. No wonder there's nothing living here! " Tang Baiyu did not react to the situation he was in, and his expression was serious. His jade eyebrows creased, staring at the Skypiercing Tree, not knowing what to do.
Xu Dong looked at the thick tree trunk, then lowered his head and looked at the roots. Using all of the soul power in his body, he smashed the tree root with all his might, which was mixed in with a dense white color.
The Skypiercing Tree Root suffered a huge force and broke on the spot, spewing out a large amount of green liquid, which Xu Dong dodged to the side. The moment the grass and flowers touched the green liquid, they instantly withered, revealing a large piece of bare land.
"This... "What a poisonous tree!" Fang Hao looked at the empty space and said. "Be careful!"
The branches of the Skypiercing Tree instantly extended longer, attacking fiercely towards Xu Dong and the other two. Xu Dong ran towards the right, and when he turned around, the area where the branch had struck instantly withered.
On the other hand, Liu Zhuang's arms had already been swallowed. His feet sank and his knees sunk into the ground. He used his strength and the Clothes in the upper half of his body instantly exploded, revealing his sturdy muscles and blue veins.
