Qi Lin, Su Xuesha, and Qi Qi walked into this forgotten underground city. The city still maintained traces of how it was back then. A majority of the items had been left undisturbed, though Qi Lin had no intentions at all to research the history. He impatiently moved for the third level.
Passing through this city, they entered a desolate forest.
This was a forest that could truly be described as “desolate.” The trees were bare and, having gone through years of being frozen, had become a stone forest. This place was so old that it even retained a bit of the air from the Primal Chaos Heavenly Court.
This place was actually very suitable for cultivating the third Origin Taiji Pill, to break through to Golden Core Middle Stage.
Qi Lin rode the Escaping Heavenly Shuttle, bringing the two girls through the stone forest. A boundless scene appeared before them, awe-inspiring.
At this time, cultivators also began to show up in numbers, already searching for treasures in the desolate forest.
They did not fly for long when a strange grove appeared in the empty space in front of them. These trees were completely like charcoal. As if they were scorched, one could seemingly smell a burnt scent. The tree branches were diffuse, covered with vines that draped down like hair. However, this was not the reason that made Qi Lin stop. There were many desiccated bodies hanging from these trees, and these bodies wore the clothes of cultivators. They had been completely sucked dry of moisture, a most unusual scene.
If this was an archaeological novel, this absolutely would be a shocking scene, but in Primordial World, there were things more bizarre and terrible than these. As a result, cultivators passing through this place would only take a few glances or perhaps check whether or not these mummies had any valuables.
A heavy, deathly air filled the top of these trees. Qi Lin could only make the Escaping Heavenly Shuttle.
At this time, this forest was already filled with several dozen cultivators.
Looking at the forest of mummies, the cultivators were very bold. Some climbs up while others flew up to the mummies and ancient trees to see if they could find any valuables.
“This place is a bit strange.” Qi Lin instinctively sensed something was wrong.
“Is this a kind of sacrifice?” Su Xuesha sensed a great mystery about the desiccated bodies hanging from the trees like leaves.
Qi Lin scrutinized them for a while. Judging from the degree of decay, it seemed these had been here for several centuries, but some corpses were particularly strange. Their flesh and sinew were still a bit soft, as if they had only died recently. Just at this moment, there were suddenly several screams from in front.
The group stopped and immediately looked over.
Next to a withered tree, two cultivators who had been searching the corpses were suddenly impaled firmly by the vines on the tree and hoisted into the air. Then, something inconceivable happened. The moment the two cultivators were run through, a mysterious force suddenly absorbed their essence-blood and souls. Their expressions contorted, and they screamed in agony. But the screams immediately grew weaker and weaker. Then, their bodies were instantly desiccated. In mere moments, a new pair of corpses hung from the tree.
At the same time, the lifeless forest strangely buckled.
These ancient trees instantly came to life. Countless vines erupted from the ground and stabbed towards the other cultivators. Some defenseless cultivators were run through and instantly became new mummies. Some cultivators with stronger levels of cultivation used magic treasures and abilities with all their might to fight back.
Screams echoed through the forest.
As expected, it was not so simple.
“Poof!!”
An enormous mummy tree’s vine shot forth. This motion was like black lightning, instantly reaching absolutely frightening speed. The entire forest was shrouded in darkness. Surrounded by black lightning, the cultivators were basically unable to break free. Wherever the black tendril stabbed, a bloody hole was punched through the cultivator.
A cultivator with weak defense was completely butchered, bits of flesh and muscle coiling around the mummy tree’s black limbs. In the darkness, it was dyed red, a very frightening aesthetic. The mummy tree not only possessed superb offensive capabilities, its very body was capable of a terrible spinning attack. Each spin already filled the air with a rain of blood.
One mummy tree was already terrifying enough, let alone an entire forest.
The trees beside Qi Lin also began to attack.
Vines shot forth.
Hè!
Spurts of blood filled the air. Qi Lin’s Dual Modes Seal completely intercepted the incoming tendrils.
But the moment the vines were stopped, they surprisingly twisted like serpents towards Qi Lin again. Qi Lin honestly did not know what to make of the mummy tree, but this was the first time he had sensed the attack of an enormous tree. That sort of oppressive feeling was more terrifying than an army of cavalry.
A star-light immediately cut down the vines twisted towards Qi Lin.
“Be careful, these mummy trees are apparently intelligent.” Su Xuesha sternly warned.
“Hmph, I’ll crush it.” Qi Qi rubbed her palms and lifted her staff in an attack on the tree.
The Great Sage Equal Of Heaven’s could be rated as bold and fierce, as if she did not recognize exhaustion. The swift and severe whirlwind flickered in the darkness, and the girl’s evil qi poured forth from her every cell and hair, emitting an oppression more terrible than these mummy trees.
Boom!!!
The sounds of collisions filled the heavens. Qi Qi took advantage of her impervious body to sweep over the battlefield. The mummy tree’s vines were swept away like garbage.
“Save me.”
“Save us!!”
Some cultivators saw Qi Qi’s almighty assault and hastily ran over. But the moment they turned around, they were immediately run through by the vines. The mummy trees saw they were unable to kill Qi Qi and fumed.
All of the vines fluttered like hair. Then, these mummies surprisingly broke free of the tree branches and flew towards the group.
Qi Lin had thought these trees had given up these macabre adornments, but when the mummies fell, he noticed something was off. These corpses suddenly became puppets of the trees and surprisingly launched a direct assault on them.
In an instant, as far as the eye could see, there were menacing puppets and a rain of blood.
“Fuck me.”
Even Qi Lin, who had seen countless oddities, was frightened.
