Arriving at the outskirts of the forest sea, Zi Chen saw tall but yellow ancient trees. Except for a few withered and dense branches and leaves, more of the ancient trees had thick trunks and extremely sparse branches and leaves.
As far as the eye can see, there is a thick layer of fallen leaves piled on the ground, and the leaves at the bottom are already rotten.
This situation has never been encountered in other places, because these ancient trees are alive and almost no leaves will fall.
Not to mention fighting, whether such an ancient tree can still survive is a question.
"Is this a battle?"
Continuing to walk towards the periphery, Zi Chen saw some very short trees, which were already dead before they started to grow.
Coming here, the will of the forest has become so weak that it cannot be felt.
He continued walking towards the periphery, without encountering any danger along the way. He even doubted whether these ancient trees would attack.
This dry and yellow land stretches dozens of miles under visual inspection.
Although he had some guesses about the situation outside Lin Hai and even believed that there should not be too much danger here, Zi Chen never expected that the situation here would be like this.
Not to mention too big a danger, there won't even be ordinary dangers.
Fortunately, when he came, he brought a lot of ancient tree resources, otherwise cultivation would really be a problem.
Wuying stood next to Zichen, and he felt incredible when he saw this scene.
"Most of the ancient trees here have lost their vitality. Did they encounter enemies and fights?"
Even he couldn't tell the real reason.
"Even if you are an enemy, you shouldn't just swallow life, right?"
For the beings who come here, the vitality of the ancient trees is not great. What is really useful is the heart of the tree. But looking at these ancient trees, it seems that none of them has the heart of the tree taken away. They are all full of vitality.
Amplitude passes.
"Or is there some kind of creature here that feeds on the vitality of the ancient trees?"
Wuying said again that this possibility was quite high. After all, they had never met a single native creature when they came to this world.
Creatures that feed on the vitality of ancient trees.
Zi Chen cheered up and became wary of his surroundings again.
His huge spiritual thoughts swept out in all directions, exploring the surroundings, but could not find any fluctuations in life.
The world was quiet, so quiet that there wasn't even a breeze.
The already extremely weak will of the forest completely disappeared without knowing when. Zi Chen's figure rose into the sky. Standing above the forest, he discovered a wider range of withered and yellow trees. The sun was shining down. These old and yellow trees were like a patchwork of trees.
The huge golden waves spread towards the distance, equally boundless.
This discovery made Zi Chen feel deeply strange. The ancient trees in the entire peripheral area were all withered and yellow. Could there really be living beings feeding on the vitality of the ancient trees and slowly eating away at the forest from the periphery?
This possibility is still very high, because this world is full of vitality, and these ancient trees should not be the only ones.
He inadvertently turned around and saw the Ancient Tree King directly opposite him. He saw it clearly and yet vaguely, as if it was at the end of his sight, but he couldn't see it clearly.
Zi Chen knew very well how far away the Ancient Tree King's true body was from where he was currently standing. Even if he unfolded the world at this moment and chose to teleport from above, it would still take a long time to teleport to reach it.
Such a long distance has long been beyond the range of what the eyes can see.
He asked Wuying to come up and have a look to see what was going on.
Wuying flashed up and saw a large area of withered ancient trees, and was also surprised.
"Look over there?" Zi Chen pointed to where the Ancient Tree King was.
"What?" Wuying looked at where Zi Chen was pointing, and there was nothing but the endless forest sea.
"The King of Ancient Trees is right in front, can't you see it?" Zi Chen asked in surprise.
Wuying heard the sound and looked back at Zichen, "Are you serious?"
Ever since Zi Chen met Wu Ying, Wu Ying could see everything he could see. But Zi Chen might not be able to see what Wu Ying could see.
Zi Chen nodded and said: "A large green light is in front, much like the Ancient Tree King we met."
Wuying shook his head and said, "I can't see it."
This is indeed the case. The Ancient Tree King is too far away from here and cannot be seen under normal circumstances.
Now that Zi Chen can see, it doesn't mean how good his eyesight is, it only means that everything is abnormal.
The only difference between him and Wuying is that he has refined those fruits.
The two of them landed on the ground again. Zi Chen frowned and said, "It's either an illusion or the fruit."
Wuying heard the sound and laughed: "Obviously it's the latter. You know very well whether it's an hallucination or not."
Zi Chen nodded, he was absolutely sure that what he saw was not an illusion.
Wuying said: "Actually, the previous incident was suspicious. Why did the good will of the forest disappear? What did others discover during the period, and then they went to the depths to see the Ancient Tree King? The ancient trees here have fighting power.
It is extremely strong. It brought us a lot of trouble when we first met. As the Ancient Tree King, it should be more terrifying. But it did not show the power it should have, or it did not show it at the beginning, which made us feel uncomfortable.
There are less fruits. Those silent lights and shadows only appear after we get the fruits, and it just so happens that you can see the invisible Ancient Tree King after refining the fruits. Does that mean that the Ancient Tree King has no control over the fruit?
My own fruit energy has some kind of induction, and it is this induction that makes those lights and shadows come to my door?"
Zi Chen's expression changed after hearing this, and he said: "You mean, all this is a conspiracy? Is it all the conspiracy of the Ancient Tree King?"
"I can't tell if it's a conspiracy, but it's abnormal for you to be able to see the Ancient Tree King. Maybe the Ancient Tree King can sense your existence through the will of the forest." Wuying said: "It's very difficult to verify this.
Simple, wait here, if the light and shadow can catch up here, then it will naturally be because you have refined the fruit."
Wuying continued: "Of course, this does not rule out other factors. For example, the will of the forest disappeared last time, and the Ancient Tree King did not appear strong at the beginning. Maybe there was an abnormality in himself, such as promotion, or other reasons that caused weakness.
.But no matter what the reason is, the appearance of those lights and shadows should be from the instruction of the Ancient Tree King."
In order to verify Wuying's guess, Zi Chen stayed in this area.
He walked forward, very close to the withered old trees, and did not encounter any attacks.
He stopped next to a thick ancient tree. This ancient tree required more than a dozen people to hug it. Although it could not compare with the King of Ancient Trees, it was still much thicker than ordinary ancient trees.
This tree has reached the edge of death. There are less than six branches hanging on the bare trunk, and there are only a few yellowing leaves on the branches.
He has walked through here before without encountering any attack, so he is extremely safe here. Of course, other living beings cannot be ruled out.
Next, Zi Chen stayed under this ancient tree, silently alerting the surroundings. Zi Chen entered the world and continued to refine the fruits.
The fruit can make him progress quickly and even allow him to break through the realm, so he must refine it first.
The mother nest is deep in Zi Chen's world. Its size has become extremely large, and its own realm has reached the ninth level and is moving towards the first level.
It was once at the general level, so there is no bottleneck. All you have to do is wait for everything to fall into place before you can advance.
Although it will be level one after promotion, it will not be of any help to the current Zi Chen, but if it is released to the outside world, it will show a truly terrifying side.
As long as it has enough time, it will create a general-level army, and its scale will not be weaker than the general-level nest that Zi Chen built last time.
On Zi Chen's clone, green light flashed, which was the remaining energy of the fruit. They were using this energy to understand the general's sword intention.
This is Zi Chen's fastest way to break through the realm. He doesn't need to work hard to understand various rules. He only needs to understand the sword intention in the Sword Ancestor Monument, which can prompt the soul to transform and advance again.
Due to the previous refining of the fruit, his general-level sword intention has already begun to develop, and he is not far away from fully realizing it.
So when Zi Chen returned to the world, he no longer tried to control the yin and yang energy. Instead, he came to the Sword Ancestor Monument and jointly comprehended the general-level sword intention with his clone.
Closing his eyes, the green light flashed on his body, and a general-level sword intention appeared in Zi Chen's mind. The general-level sword intention was very fast and shuttled through the sea of his soul with great power.
.
The soul belonging to Zi Chen could only be sensed through the breath left by the sword intention at first, because he could not catch up with the sword intention. Now, his spiritual sense can barely keep up, and he can constantly sense the changes of the sword intention.
Although he has already comprehended three ways of the same sword intention, as his level increases, the difficulty of the sword intention also increases, and it becomes more and more difficult to comprehend the further he goes.
For Wuying, time passed by while waiting. During this period, he did not see any living beings approaching this place, nor did he see any light or shadow coming.
Zi Chen was still comprehending the sword's intention at the general level. At this time, his spiritual thoughts were able to catch up with the sword's intention and linger on it.
Buzz!
The sword's intention trembled, and the sharp sword light passed by. Zi Chen's spiritual thoughts were cut off instantly, and the stinging pain came from his mind.
To understand the meaning of the sword is to continuously hone one's soul. During this period, the soul will become more and more powerful, and at a certain point, it will reach the critical point of transformation.
Wuying was waiting nearby. He had been waiting for a long time. He never saw the light or shadow, and he never guessed the creature he thought was devouring the vitality of the ancient tree.
There was no danger here, so he tried to go deeper to see if there was anything unusual. As he went deeper, he found that some of the lush ancient trees seemed to be turning yellow when he came.
No abnormalities were seen. The vitality of these ancient trees was flowing away on their own, which made Wuying feel very incredible.
He continued to move forward, and then found traces of human beings, and some people actually reached the outside world.
This discovery made him retreat immediately. No matter what the purpose of these people's visit, he had to inform Zi Chen.
Just after returning to Zi Chen's world, he saw that Zi Chen's world was undergoing new changes, and a pressure belonging to the fourth level was raging in this world.
