C61 Blood demon tree

The rumbling gradually dispersed, and the surroundings entered a suffocating silence.

Under these circumstances, the eye could not see nor know the exact situation. After a long time, the faint sound of footsteps could be heard in the darkness.

Another few minutes passed, and the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. The White Wolf King had died, and the pack of wolves had dispersed.

This was a type of luck. If the Wolf King was only severely injured, it would cause the pack of wolves to go crazy and go crazy.

Xiao Zhi called out to the two of them softly as he groped his way forward. The stench of blood was everywhere, and it was possible that even stronger demonic beasts could be attracted here at any time. At that time, the three of them would not be able to move an inch. In his current state, he urgently needed to rest and recover.

The darkness was terrifying, even though it was moving forward silently. Xiao Zhi could still feel a heart palpitating aura and chills from this blood forest. He felt like there was a fierce beast watching them.

He didn't know if this was an illusion or if Xiao Zhi's senses were too sharp.

After walking for a few hundred meters through the jungle, the heartstrings of the three were taut. There was no light at all, everything seemed like a blind man trying to feel out an image. Furthermore, there was also a prerequisite, which was that everyone knew that this blood forest was extremely terrifying, and there would be demon beasts with keen sense of smell appearing at any time.

Their goal was only to leave that area, so they didn't dare to walk around recklessly.

"Here."

At the same time, Xiao Zhi was upset that he should not have used all of the bright crystal s. However, these words were useless now.

The heavy rain did not weaken at all. The three of them were drenched, as though they had been drenched from head to toe.

"Light a fire. If this goes on, our bodies won't be able to bear it."

Wu Bupang said softly, his body shivered in the darkness. Although they were cultivators, they were still young, and had low Cultivation bases. Even if the Xiao Zhi's physique was much stronger than ordinary people, he still wouldn't be able to persevere for a long time.

"That's the only way." Xiao Zhi replied from the darkness. This time, he was relying on Wu Bupang. Although the wooden bed from before was left in the mound, his inner ring of Tao was not just left in that bed. With Xiao Zhi's actions, he quickly turned into a pile of wood.

Wu Bupang took out a flint stone and quickly ignited it while the wood was still wet. In the meantime, Zhang Ling had cut down a large tree at his side, and quickly cut the tree stem into pieces. It was about a meter long, and quickly built a shed. Xiao Zhi was surprised, it seemed that this brat had some ability. Looking at his proficiency, it seemed that he was already used to it.

As such, a simple and crude house was built like this.

The bonfire rose up, emitting a warm wave of air. The three of them sat down on a wooden stake and changed out of their dirty clothes. Only then did he feel much better. It was just that he felt sleepy and exhausted, and he couldn't help but fall asleep immediately.

"Go rest."

Xiao Zhi glanced at Zhang Ling. In terms of physical injuries, the latter was the most severe. Although his own Dao Energy was dry, it was not as bad as's. As for Wu Bupang, there was no need to mention it.

Right now, only the Xiao Zhi was on guard, at the same time using the method of cultivation to quickly recover.

The two of them did not speak anymore. They both knew one thing, they had to quickly return to normal or else they would become a burden to the Xiao Zhi. Even the cold-natured Zhang Ling had such thoughts. Whether it was in terms of battle techniques or winning by using resources, he would never admit it.

Under the siege of a pack of wolves, very few people would be calm enough to borrow the light source of the bright crystal to think of that move.

Xiao Zhi closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the tree stump, channeling his recovered Dao energy to stir the Essence in his four directions. The White Tiger dao diagram appeared, speeding up the gathering and absorption of vitality. If there weren't others by his side, Xiao Zhi would have preferred to use the small tree sapling dao diagram, as the speed at which the surrounding Essence Qi was being mobilized would have been even faster.

Unfortunately, this was the blood forest. It also made the Xiao Zhi afraid, worried that there would be an unexpected change like before.

It was as if everything had fallen into silence. Or perhaps, the darkness in the silence was hiding an even bigger hidden danger. However, it was very calm all the way until the sky lit up.

In the early morning in blood forest, there was a light fog of blood. It was very light, and under the sunlight shining through the branches and leaves, it had a special kind of beauty.

However, behind this sort of beauty was an extremely terrifying danger and a big, bloody secret.

Xiao Zhi could easily imagine how tragic that battle was. It must have been a scene of corpses piled up like mountains, blood dripping down the oars, and the smell of blood lingering in the forest for a long time.

That night, Xiao Zhi did not take any rest, but he was in good shape.

"Strange, I don't feel tired at all with my current mental state. This shouldn't be the case."

After all, he had suffered from a soul attack the previous day, and after the battle that followed, his spirit was exhausted. He had spent the entire night in a state of mental tension, and most people would not be able to withstand the pressure. That was why Xiao Zhi was surprised.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that the Xiao Zhi had experienced such a difficult battle. Compared to the fierce battle with Zhao Liangyi, this battle was more able to sharpen a person's mental fortitude.

Aside from that, the Xiao Zhi felt that he had the faint feeling of breaking through the third sky of Dao Resisting Realm, which undoubtedly made him even more pleasantly surprised. Initially, due to the matter of the dao diagram, it was extremely difficult for one to advance. But now, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

"Xiao Zhi."

Wu Bupang's drowsy eyes had long since calmed down from yesterday's exhaustion. The fat face revealed an embarrassed expression, the person who had put in the most effort this night was Xiao Zhi, and he was the one who had been on sentry the most.

"Hurry up and cultivate."

The Xiao Zhi chuckled. Morning was undoubtedly the best time to cultivate. The heaven and earth origin energy was the densest and most concentrated, better than noon.

Wu Bupang nodded, and quickly entered into cultivation. Zhang Ling also woke up, nodded at Xiao Zhi, and quickly entered his cultivation state. Their spirits had returned to normal, and they were no longer exhausted.

"It should be because of the Art of Elemental Heaven."

Xiao Zhi muttered to himself as he continued to ponder his own question. Right now, he had many things he did not understand. One was the three dao diagrams he had, and the other was the golden sword and the golden paper he had.

Xiao Zhi stretched his body and came out of the wooden shed. The flames on the bonfire had long weakened and could go out at any time.

The heavy rain had stopped long ago.

Nearby, the fragrance of the earth and the fresh scent of plants were being emitted.

But when he saw the surrounding situation, Xiao Zhi could not help but open his mouth wide with shock. Two hundred meters in front, three disciples that looked like they were from the Heaven Gate were hanging from a tree. Their faces were full of fear, and their expressions were frozen forever. Moreover, their bodies seemed to have dried up and were devoid of any moisture.

As for the trees that hung them, they were blood-red in color and were even stranger than the other trees.

Xiao Zhi felt a chill all over his body. If the three of them walked a distance further, it was very possible that they would meet the same fate. At that time, the three of them were in a very weak state.

Xiao Zhi took a deep breath, calmed his mind and recognized the tree's origins.

It was said that the Blood Demon Tree was a strange demonic tree that was nurtured because of the blood and soul of a powerful practitioner. The most powerful ones could even reach the seventh level, which was extremely terrifying.

Once entangled by it, as long as the skin was broken, a large portion of its life essence would be instantly sucked out. To fight with an ordinary cultivator with Dao Resisting Realm was simply courting death. However, there was one drawback. The Blood Demon Tree was unable to move. There was also a saying that if the Blood Demon Tree could break through the bindings of the seventh level and reach the eighth level, it was possible for it to take human form and walk on the earth.

However, this was still a legend. This was because between the seventh level and the eighth level was a true natural chasm. Those who were able to do so were all famous existences on the Luo River Continent.

Xiao Zhi looked at the Blood Demon Tree in front of him. Although the Blood Demon Tree was brutal and tyrannical, it bore a strange fruit, a fruit called the 'sanguinarum fructus'. This fruit appeared to be the same color as a flower, blood-red. The effect was simple, but it was also very important. It was to replenish a person's vital energy and blood.

Just like a person who was seriously injured and had lost too much blood. Under normal circumstances, unless there was a genuine precious medicine, such as the 'Violet Cloud Pill' or 'Sheng Yuan Dan' that the Xiao Zhi had, they could all be treated. However, Grade Four Pills s and Tier 3 pills were extremely precious.

If it weren't for the Dao Lord Tianyun behind Xiao Zhi, coupled with the luck they had afterwards, it was possible that they wouldn't be able to see each other for the rest of their lives. Naturally, these ordinary people, and even some ordinary cultivators, wouldn't have such a precious pill.

On the other hand, the benefits of sanguinarum fructus were fully displayed. In terms of effectiveness, because of simple transformation, it could only be ranked as a Grade Six Alchemy Pill. However, because of his abilities, it was now as precious as a fifth-grade pill or even a medicinal pill.

Xiao Zhi looked up and indeed, saw a few flower-like fruits amidst the dense leaves. If one did not look carefully, one would think that it was just an ordinary flower.

One of the branches of the Blood Demon Tree quietly swayed in the direction of the Xiao Zhi. However, because of the distance between them, it was unable to move at all. And this action, was naturally seen by Xiao Zhi. If the three of them got any closer, the consequences would be dire.

Suddenly, the Xiao Zhi's heart stirred. The little sapling dao diagram had actually formed a shadow in the bottom of his heart, and if it were not for the Xiao Zhi's control, it would have appeared right behind him.

For some reason, Xiao Zhi felt that the sapling emitted a desire to devour.

The target – the Blood Demon Tree!

Xiao Zhi was secretly surprised, he did not understand why he could have such a feeling. However, this feeling was real because the dao diagram was a part of the cultivator, such as the limbs and the mind.

Everything in the world could be considered a dao diagram, and everything was the embodiment of one's power. At the same time, it was also extremely mysterious and boundless.

A single blade of grass could cut down the sun, moon and stars, a flying bird could destroy the earth, and a mountain could shatter the void, shaking the heavens.

Xiao Zhi subconsciously moved towards the Blood Demon Tree.

Seeing that, the Blood Demon Tree trembled, and the three corpses hanging from the tree stem fell to the ground. The two seemed to be in a confrontation, as an invisible fighting spirit brewed.

What he did not realize was that although the dao diagram did not appear behind him, the shadow of a skeleton was enveloping him. Its pitch-black eyes were emitting a freezing cold aura, filled with bloodlust and berserk, but more importantly, it was a type of expression that looked down on all living beings, looking down at the world.
