The trees have lush branches and leaves, and the light is very dim.
Chu Xiu turned around.
I found that the road I came from had been blocked by white fog.
After careful sensing.
His expression gradually became serious.
The white mist surged behind him, making him feel uneasy.
If you enter it rashly, you may encounter something unexpected...
————Find the innate sword embryo first.
Chu Xiu turned around and walked into the woods.
There are many dead branches on the ground.
After being stepped on.
It made a crunching sound that echoed in the silent woods.
It gives people an extremely depressing feeling.
About half an hour later.
Chu Xiu was never able to get out of this old forest.
He frowned, dodged a few times, and came to the crown of a tree.
Gaze into the distance.
Just discovered.
This is not a forest at all. This is an endless sea of trees with no end in sight.
So, he gave up walking and tried running Xingzi.
The space folds, the whole person merges into the void, and the distance is tens of thousands of miles in an instant.
Fold and travel dozens of times in succession.
Traveled at least a million miles.
However, he was shocked to find that he was still in the woods...
————"I won't meet a ghost and hit the wall, right?"
Chu Xiu frowned, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
If you are trapped here.
It's really over.
Taking out the bronze compass, he hoped to find clues on it.
However, what disappointed him was.
After entering this old forest.
The bronze compass remains unchanged.
Just when he was thinking about how to break the situation.
A sound came into my ears.
——"Finally found you, meow~"
The voice is very sweet and childish, like a little girl talking.
Chu Xiu's expression condensed and he turned his head.
Found dozens of meters away.
On a dead branch, a kitten covered in black and with smooth and soft fur was lying.
It is about the same size as an ordinary domestic cat.
A pair of relatively wide ears stand tall, the left eye pupil is as blue as a gem, and the right eye pupil is as red as blood.
The long cat tail swayed from side to side, lowering its head and licking the pink pads of its paws with graceful movements.
Sensing Chu Xiu's gaze, it raised the corners of its mouth and gave Chu Xiu a human smile.
——"Hello, outsider, meow~"
: "Who are you~"
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and stared at the black cat warily.
He was not surprised why the cat could talk.
After all, he has even seen a talking chicken...
However, meeting such a cat in such a strange place seemed unusual.
Chu Xiu had already rehearsed it in his mind.
If the cat suddenly attacks itself.
How should he counterattack.
A roll of eyes.
Draw conclusions immediately.
Hmm! There are about one hundred and thirty-seven ways to kill this cat instantly.
——"Don't be nervous, outsiders, meow~"
The black cat stood up, got down on all fours, and stretched.
——"I am the guardian of this forest. If you want to get out of here, you need my help, meow~"
It sat on a branch and looked at Chu Xiu, with a human smile still on the cat's face.
The more I look at it, the weirder it gets.
: "What is this place? How can I get out of this forest?"
Chu Xiu restrained himself, acted impulsively, and asked in a deep voice.
The black cat's face was full of surprise. He looked Chu Xiu up and down and said in surprise: "You don't know where this place is, meow~"
: "I don't know~"
Chu Xiu shook his head.
:'Tsk...it's a miracle that you can cross that lake, meow~'
The black cat swung its tail and jumped up on another dead tree with its hind legs.
He raised his paws to his mouth: "This is Aragami Island. Do you know what Aragami is?"
: "Hey, you wouldn't know it by looking at it, so I'll tell you!"
: "I don't know how many thousands of years ago, when this ancient star was born, five gods were born at the same time, namely the Dragon God, the Wild God, the God of Hades, the God of Thunder, and the God of Wind."
: "They were born with this ancient star, the most extreme power, and are respected as gods by all intelligent creatures."
: "The island you are on now, as well as the lake outside, were built by the Aragami."
The black cat jumped again and came to another dead tree.
: "Outsider, the reason why you are here must be for the innate sword embryo, meow!!"
Chu Xiu's eyes moved slightly and he chuckled: "It seems you know a lot."
"I have lived on this island for a long time, so it is normal to know some secrets." The black cat licked its front paws.
:'Let's go, I'll take you out of this woods.'
After saying that, it jumped down from the tree, stepped lightly on the ground, and turned its head to signal Chu Xiu to follow.
Chu Xiu followed.
: "You step on my footprints...that way you can get out of here, otherwise you will be trapped in this forest forever, meow..."
The black cat walking in front gave instructions.
Chu Xiu followed closely behind.
: "What is the purpose of Aragami creating this place?"
"Hey..."
The black cat jumped onto a mossy stone.
: "This is the burial place of the wild god."
Speaking of this, the black cat's face showed human sadness and sighed, "Even a god will have his life come to an end one day."
"How sad, meow~"
Chu Xiu heard this and asked doubtfully, "It is said that there is a dragon god under the endless marsh."
"The ancient star has been born for millions of years, how can she survive to this day?"
Black Cat curled his lips, "You are overthinking, the current Dragon God is not the original Dragon God at all."
: "After the death of the Dragon God, the essence, cultivation, and inheritance will automatically gather and eventually turn into a dragon egg to breed life again..."
: "Do you think the reborn Dragon God is still the same Dragon God as before?"ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
: "This is how the Dragon God has been passed down from generation to generation."
"That's it~" Chu Xiu nodded.
A conversation room between one person and one cat.
Unknowingly, I walked out of the woods.
The black cat squatted at Chu Xiu's feet, raised its little paw, and pointed thousands of miles away.
It was a black plain.
In the center is a huge black peak that towers straight into the sky. Its height is estimated to be tens of thousands of feet, which is almost the same as Taisu Peak.
: "Outsiders, have you seen that mountain?"
: "That is what the corpse of the Aragami turned into after his death..."
Chu Xiu's eyes flickered, "Where is the innate sword embryo?"
Black Cat nodded, "The innate sword embryo is between the eyebrows."
"Well... to use your words to describe it, the sword embryo is in the altar..."
Chu Xiu lowered his head and looked at the black cat.
: "You led me here just so that I can obtain the innate sword embryo?"
