C229 Forest of Darkness

After Kong Kim returned to the Dragon Ring, Ye Daoxuan looked at the thousands of corpses of the Purple-Tailed Scorpion on the ground. He felt that it was a pity to throw them away just like that, so he put them all away into the Dragon Ring, leaving the rest for the Silver Tiger and King Kong to eat slowly.

After chasing them for hundreds of miles to the east, Ye Daoxuan finally met up with Dongguo Ye, Zeng Le Gang, and Zeng Le Rou on a sand dune that was dozens of feet high in the east of the "Great Desert of the Blood Sea".

Seeing that Ye Daoxuan was unharmed, Dongguo Ye and the other two let out sighs of relief.

After battling with the group of Purple Tailed Scorpions, the four of them were no longer afraid of the "Blood Sea Desert", which was a dangerous place. After wandering in the desert for a few days, they had also encountered a lot of spirit beasts, although the spirit beasts were very powerful and could even be compared to a human who had just entered the late stage of the middle level of the Heaven stage. Most of them were traveling alone, unlike the thousands of blood scorpions from before.

The four of them occasionally discovered some unique spiritual medicines in the desert. Although their numbers couldn't compare to the several thousand spiritual medicines they found before, the four of them were already satisfied. After all, every spiritual medicine was hard to find in the outside world.

On this day, the four of them arrived at the edge of the Blood Sea Desert. From afar, they could see a vast forest. Every tree that made up the forest was several tens of feet thick and several hundred feet high.

As the four of them walked into the forest, they immediately felt something different from the "Blood Sea Desert." The desert was unbearably hot.

"If my guess is correct, this should be the 'Forest of Darkness'..." There was a strange expression on Dongguo Ye's face as he said, "Our luck this time around is really not the usual 'good' …"

When he said the word "good", he deliberately emphasized on his tone. Ye Daoxuan sighed, "Are you trying to say that this is yet another dangerous place?"

Dongguo Ye smiled bitterly, "That's right. It is indeed a dangerous place, even more dangerous than the Blood Sea Desert. During the last mystic realm training, more than a dozen disciples had been sent to the 'Forest of Darkness'. In the end, only a peak mid Heaven realm disciple had managed to escape with a body full of serious injuries. Later on, I heard from the person that there were countless spirit beasts within the Dark Forest. They all attacked in a variety of ways, making it hard for people to guard against them! "

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Thankfully, the four of us are not weak. Otherwise, I would have recommended that we bypass the 'Forest of Darkness'."

"Hopefully, we won't encounter any spirit beasts. Hopefully, we'll get lucky …" "Hmm, in short, I hope our trip will go smoothly!" Zeng Le Rou clasped her hands and prayed.

Ye Daoxuan looked at the depths of the forest, and then spread out his divine sense in all four directions. He found that the forest was full of strange things, and those towering trees seemed to be able to absorb his divine sense.

Ye Daoxuan was slightly shocked in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he said, "This' Forest of Darkness' is extremely strange. Everyone, be extra careful!" Brother Dongguo, the two of us are in the front and back, Junior Brother Le Gang and Junior Sister Le Rou, you two walk in the middle! "

"Alright!"

So Ye Daoxuan was in front, the Ceng siblings were in the middle, and the four of them had their backs facing each other as they quickly moved forward.

Along the way, they encountered dozens of spirit beasts. However, those spirit beasts were only average in strength, so after they saw the four of them, they moved far away. There wasn't even a fight between them.

At the beginning, one could still see mottled rays of sunlight passing through the branches and leaves, shining onto the ground. However, the layers of leaves and branches above their heads, completely blocking out the light, making it seem as if it was in the middle of the night. Even though Ye Daoxuan and the other three had extraordinary eyesight, they could only see into the distance, and the scenery became blurry no matter how far they went.

Fortunately, Ye Daoxuan's telepathic thoughts were able to extend to several kilometers. Otherwise, if a spirit beast suddenly attacked them, they might not be able to react in time, and the spirit beast would already be in front of them.

"Turn left!"

After another ten miles, Ye Daoxuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He turned his feet and led the three of them around a huge tree to the left.

"Up ahead... "Such rich true essence fluctuations …" A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Dongguo Ye's face. He couldn't help but exclaim: "It seems like another medical herb has appeared! I feel. It's possible that there are some high grade spirit medicines that have reached the age of six or seven thousand years! "

Before this, in the "Blood Sea Desert," the four of them had gathered over a thousand stalks of four or five thousand year old elixirs, and they were already extremely excited about this. If they encountered elixirs that had grown for six or seven thousand years, then only one stalk would be able to match all of the elixirs they had received before.

It had to be known that a six or seven thousand year old elixir was considered a high quality elixir. Compared to a saint rank elixir that had grown for ten thousand years, the efficacy of the elixir was not too far off. Whether it was consumed directly or refined into a elixir, it would have a miraculous effect on a martial artist's cultivation.

All of a sudden, the faces of the three people of Dongguo Ye's group turned red with excitement. The three of them were like leopards who had discovered a delicious prey.

"Don't be rash first!" Ye Daoxuan's expression became serious again and he said, "There must be a spirit beast guarding the side of the spirit medicine!" However, it's very strange that my spiritual will can't sense the existence of a spirit beast … What does this mean? "

"This means that the spirit beast is stronger than you!" Dongguo Ye scratched his head and mumbled, "But …" Are we that unlucky? If it's really no good, then let's take a detour. If we can't beat him, how can we avoid him? "

"Since we've discovered something good, how can we miss it? "I have to give it a try no matter what..."

Ye Daoxuan held the broken blade horizontally in front of his chest, allowing the blade spirit, "Old Mo", to use his spiritual will to investigate the movements in the depths of the forest ahead.

The telepathic thoughts of "Old Mo" were a level stronger than Ye Daoxuan's, and the range of his examination was even further. After a while, the voice of "Old Mo" resounded in Ye Daoxi's brain, "Right in front of you guys, there is a strange tree about ten kilometers tall, and it has dozens of heart-shaped fruits that are the size of fists on top of it. Those fruits are close to maturity, they should be around six or seven thousand years old. However, beside that huge tree, there is a 'Scarlet Tattooed Spider' protecting it … "

"Scarlet Tattooed Spider? Is this a powerful Spiritual Beast? " Ye Daoxuan asked.

"Old Mo" said, "Hmm, it should have the strength of a human at the middle stage of the late stage of the Sky Realm. If the four of you join forces, it would be difficult to fight against it! Furthermore, as far as I know, this kind of 'Scarlet Tattooed Spider' is innately capable of setting up silk formations, and even peak late stage ZhongTian Warriors would find it difficult to escape from its' Spinning Silk Array 'for a short while! "

"Damn, he's really strong!" Ye Daoxuan muttered this sentence, and he couldn't help but hesitate a bit.
