Chapter 79: The Third Layer of Trees
The third layer was a vast forest of trees. They appeared there and instantly felt their bodies become heavy. The pressure doubled again, which seriously affected their speed.
For the old demon in the bamboo hat and the Green Ghost King, who rely on physical strength to fight, speed is very important.
Sign in at the third level and get the Hundred Herbs Elixir. The system will give you detailed data information, increasing your True Essence cultivation by 300 years, or your True Qi cultivation by 1,800 years, and improving your resistance to wood-type spells.
A emerald green pill appeared in his hand, emitting a faint green light.
Without the two of them noticing, Zhou An swallowed the elixir, converted it into energy, and slowly absorbed it automatically.
The Green Ghost King looked at Zhou An and asked, "Master, you are a human, and your body is not as strong as ours. Can you bear it?"
"It's okay. There are fewer monsters here. Let's find someone to lead the way." Zhou An said calmly.
"Okay." The Green Ghost King jumped onto the big tree next to him and stood on the top of the tree looking out over the sea of trees.
After a while, Zhou An absorbed the elixir and increased his cultivation by three hundred years. Now he has cultivated for a thousand years, but his realm is still in the late fifth level of the innate realm.
When his cultivation reached a thousand years, he felt that the effects of the spells he released were different from before. He had noticed this when he cast the Mysterious Ice Divine Light on the second level just now. The power was much stronger than before.
If it were in the past, only a few of them would be frozen at most. It would be impossible for the mysterious light to freeze them all.
Moreover, the performance of this move consumes much less true energy, and there is an obvious qualitative difference between this true energy and true qi.
At this time, the Green Ghost King jumped down and said, "Master, there is a very large tree in front of us, thousands of feet high. It may be related to the teleportation array. I also found that the monsters in the forest are good at hiding their breath. I found a few of them and I think they are ambushing someone."
"Could it be us?" Zhou An asked.
"No, they are about four or five miles away from us. They should not know we are here." said the Green Ghost King.
Suddenly, arrows were shot from behind them. The old demon in the bamboo hat stood behind Zhou An, waving the bone sword in his hand, and the three arrows were picked up and stuck on the ground and tree trunks nearby.
He immediately rushed towards his attacker and quickly disappeared into the bushes.
The Green Ghost King held a bone knife and stood behind Zhou An, on guard.
A few minutes later, the old demon in the bamboo hat came back and said angrily, "Sorry, the gravity here has increased. I am not used to it yet. My speed is not as fast as the other party. I can only see that it is a small demon."
Zhou An formed seals with his hands, and his true energy condensed into a talisman in his hands. He shouted softly, and the talisman turned into a group of little men and flew out in all directions.
He once again discovered that using true energy to cast spells really improved the effect a lot. This kind of Tiandao Sect's path-finding spell was originally a group of paper people searching in a small area.
However, when using true energy, the paper man turned into a living little person, like an elf, and it was very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhou An walked towards the towering tree, and the Green Ghost King and the old demon in the bamboo hat followed behind him like guards.
Not long after walking, a little man appeared on Zhou An's shoulder. He moved his mind and the Void Wheel flew out, flashing through space and disappearing in an instant.
He immediately chased after it and saw a squirrel-like monster leaning against a big tree a hundred meters away, with the Void Wheel on its neck.
This magical weapon that could travel through space frightened the squirrel monster so much that he was at a loss.
Seeing Zhou An and his group coming, fear made him go crazy. He ignored the Void Wheel around his neck and ran away quickly on all fours.
But just after he ran ten meters, he saw a flash of white light in front of him, and the Void Wheel flashed past him from behind, cutting off his tail. The squirrel demon trembled in pain, but still gritted his teeth and ran away. However, the next second, the Void Wheel flew past his chest, cutting off his forelimbs, and he fell headfirst to the ground.
His face was twisted in pain, and he was still struggling to get up and leave. Zhou An frowned, and the Green Ghost King rushed over, kicked him to the ground, pressed him to the ground and shouted: "If you don't want to die, be honest."
The old demon in the bamboo hat immediately said, "The Immortal is just asking questions. If I wanted to kill you, would you still have a chance to escape?"
The squirrel demon was surprised, looked up at Zhou An and asked, "You really won't kill me?"
"I'm going to the fourth floor to ask for directions." Zhou An said.
The squirrel demon was confused, then he looked at his hands and said with a bitter face: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Without my hands, I would definitely be killed."
“Stop wasting time and tell me where the entrance to the fourth floor is.” the Green Ghost King shouted.
"It's right under the sacred tree, but it's useless. The entrance is blocked by the roots of the sacred tree. It can only be opened by sacrificing one hundred corpses. As long as we enter higher levels, the environment will get better and better, and even spiritual energy will appear, allowing us to continue practicing." The squirrel demon looked at the broken hand with a sad face. The pain in his body was no longer important.
“Those who can reach this level have similar strengths. It’s not easy to kill a hundred people.” Green Ghost King frowned and said.
"The legends on each floor are different. Are these legends all lies? They are deliberately leading the monsters and demons here to kill each other!" The old monster in the bamboo hat was furious. He stuck the bone sword into the ground and seemed to have no intention of moving forward.
"One of them is true. The ninth floor is indeed the exit. Let's go to the big tree." Zhou An said as he retracted the Void Wheel.
"What should we do with these one hundred corpses? Are we going to hunt them now?" asked the Green Ghost King.
"It's just a scam. Let's go. Maybe the immortal will have a way." The old demon in the bamboo hat now places all his hopes on Zhou An.
"Please take me with you." The squirrel demon saw that Zhou An could actually use magic, and he had lost his hands, so he had no choice but to follow this man. Maybe there was still a glimmer of hope, otherwise he would definitely be killed by others.
Zhou An ignored it. The Green Ghost King and the old demon in the bamboo hat still had value, but the squirrel demon had no value anymore and would only be a burden. If they were outside, he could help, but there was no need for him to bring uncertainty to himself here.
He flew away on his sword taking the old demon and the Green Ghost King with him. The squirrel demon glanced at them with resentment, then immediately disappeared into the bushes nearby.
Only when you fly into the air can you truly feel how tall this tree is, like a pillar of heaven.
When flying under this tree at such a high speed, it felt like what was in front of me was not a tree but a mountain.

"It's so big! Master, how are you going to get in?" The Green Ghost King widened his eyes, shocked by the sacred tree in front of him. He tried to attack it with a bone knife, but the sacred tree was as hard as steel. The monster's bone knife chopped it down, leaving no marks at all, but a gap on the edge of the bone blade.
"Don't let anyone disturb me." Zhou An released the Emperor's Sword and recombined the Haotian Sutra, Zhenyuan, and Emperor's Sword Technique.
After using true energy twice, he has realized the specialness of true energy, or in other words, true energy is the power that a cultivator should truly possess.
He didn't know why all the cultivators on the entire continent condensed true qi. This must be another ancient secret.
When they appeared, many demons appeared in the surrounding woods, looking at the three people in confusion. They thought that they were the people who got the corpse and came here to sacrifice the corpse. They wanted to intercept them, but found it strange that these people had nothing in their hands, so they all hid in the dark and watched.
The Green Ghost King and the old demon in the bamboo hat had already noticed the demons hiding in the woods, and they both drew their weapons and were on alert.
After waiting for a long time, the monsters in the forest seemed to have lost their patience. In addition, Zhou An looked like an ordinary person and was easy to bully. Several monsters who were confident and strong rushed out at the same time, holding sharp spikes made from branches.
These monsters all hold the same weapons, but the branches are of different lengths and thicknesses. The short ones are used as daggers, the long ones are used as swords, and the even longer ones are used as spears.
The Green Ghost King and the old demon in the bamboo hat were acting strangely. They each guarded one side, brandishing swords and fighting against several demons at the same time.
The Green Ghost King was very strong, and he wielded his bone knife swiftly and fiercely, forcing the two demons fighting him to defend themselves.
The old demon in the bamboo hat has incredible sword skills. His attacks may seem simple, but the opponent can't avoid them no matter what, and can't even block them.
The old demon's bone sword could always bypass their branches and pierce their arms or bodies.
Because these monsters are very powerful, the bone swords are just made from the bones of the monsters and cannot cause much damage. Otherwise, the two opponents would probably be killed in one round.
When the Green Ghost King saw the sword skills of the old demon in the bamboo hat, whom he had always looked down upon, he was secretly surprised. He was afraid that he might not be able to take on this sword skill, but the opponent was not strong enough to hurt him.
Just as he was secretly glancing at the old demon in the bamboo hat, the bone knife in the Green Ghost King's hand suddenly shattered and broke when it collided with a sharp branch.
The Green Ghost King was startled and used his broken knife to block the branch that was stabbing at him. Then he was hit in the face by another branch. His head was knocked to the side, leaving a scar on his face.
The Green Ghost King was furious and counterattacked. He grabbed the stabbing branch with his left hand, rushed forward and stabbed the broken knife into the opponent's body. At the same time, he was hit in the face by another demon's fist and flew several meters away.
At the same time, on the side of the old monster in the bamboo hat, the bone sword could not withstand the collision with the opponent's branches for many times and broke. After all, this was just the bones of the dead monsters. Moreover, they all found that these branches were not only hard, but also extremely tough. No wonder these monsters used branches as weapons.
Seeing that the two were at a disadvantage, all the other demons in the forest rushed out and fought for their bodies.
Now they were all anxious. It was not because they were weak, but because each of the demons trapped here was a powerful being. If they could defeat one or two of them, they would already be considered powerful enough.
The weak ones would have surely been killed long ago, and those who survived are the strong ones.
At this time, true energy burst out from Zhou An's body, and a white force spread out, stopping the demons that were rushing over. They all looked up in surprise at Zhou An floating in the air.
