"Is there no relevant record in the ancient books of the Temple of Light and your Su family?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"No." Su Baoer thought hard for a while and gave a definite answer.
She was so focused on the Black Prison Sacred Tree that she put Gao Weihu's matter aside, and her face no longer had the shyness and embarrassment she had before.
Mu Hanyan asked her to come over just to divert her attention and prevent her from being embarrassed. She was not disappointed to hear such an answer.
Mu Hanyan focused her eyes and looked carefully at the cross-section of the giant tree. Suddenly, she discovered that there were some tiny light red spots on it.
At first she thought it was the dust from the fallen tree, but when she wiped it with her hand, she found that the light red dots were firmly attached to the cross-section and could not be wiped off at all.
What is this? Mu Hanyan was extremely curious and focused her divine sense to explore the interior of the Black Prison Divine Tree.
The entire sacred tree, and all its veins, are filled with these small red dots, like solidified blood, with a faint sense of peace and tranquility.
The divine consciousness gradually extended from the inside to the outside, and Mu Hanyan was surprised to find that the black bark that seemed to be made of pig iron was filled with a strong aura of destruction, which was completely different from the aura inside the sacred tree.
Mu Hanyan suddenly had a feeling that the black bark wasn't naturally formed, but rather the Black Prison Divine Tree had forcibly absorbed the aura of destruction, condensing it on its surface. If this aura of destruction were allowed to emanate, not only would all the plants and trees in the Black Prison be in danger, but even the various exotic beasts would be in danger of their lives.
These towering trees lost their vitality because of this, and at the same time, they also trapped the aura of destruction outside their bodies. It is precisely because of this that they are as hard as steel and will not rot for tens of millions of years.
What had happened in the Blackwood Prison? Why were these so-called sacred trees so miraculous? Perhaps the magic wasn't in the trees themselves, but rather someone had deliberately created them. However, to achieve this, how powerful must that person be, and how profound must their methods be? Mu Hanyan racked her brains, but she couldn't figure it out.
Just looking at the huge black trees that had lost their vitality and were not densely distributed throughout the Black Wood Prison, and then looking at the lush vegetation around them and feeling the vigorous vitality therein, Mu Hanyan's heart was filled with shock.
After a long while, Mu Hanyan stood up again. No matter what happened in the Blackwood Prison, it was a long time ago, and she didn't want to waste too much energy on it.
Su Baoer's spiritual power was not as strong as hers. She was confused after looking for a long time and stood up as well.
"Miss, let's go. The High Priest has previously told me to keep an eye on you and escort you safely back to the Temple of Light." Zheng Anze said to Su Baoer.
"But Sister Mu saved my life, and I still want to help her..." Su Baoer hesitated and used Mu Hanyan as a shield, but she couldn't help but glance at Gao Weihu secretly.
Although she thought she had concealed it well, how could that little thought be hidden from Zheng Anze's eyes? He subconsciously looked at Gao Weihu, who was fat and had a fierce face not far away. He really couldn't understand what this guy had done to deserve Su Baoer's favor. However, it was not his turn to worry about the family affairs of the chief priest.
"Perhaps this is what they say: different people have different tastes," Zheng Anze thought. He was right, but Miss Su didn't like radishes or vegetables, she just liked big, fat pieces of meat.
"Miss, with your strength, you probably can't help Chief Priest Mu too much. The Black Wood Prison is not peaceful. If you follow her, you might end up getting her into trouble. It's better for you to come with us." Knowing that the little girl was thin-skinned, Zheng Anze could see through some things but couldn't say them directly, so he could only persuade her tactfully.
"Yes, no matter how powerful the Great Priestess Mu is, not to mention the Earth-Armored Dragon Rhinoceros and the Dragon Clan, even the Black Prison Sacred Tree can't defeat her. How can you help her?" Yuan Xiangzhi said sarcastically.
With the support of Zheng Anze and others, he was not afraid of angering Mu Hanyan.
Of course, with Miss Mu's vision, she didn't take a fool like him seriously at all, so how could she argue with him?
At this moment, a beast roar was heard, and the whole earth trembled.
Following the direction of the beast's roar, I saw hundreds of strange beasts rushing towards me in groups.
While their numbers were small, not even as numerous as those of the Temple of Light, they were all formidable. Whether it was the Devil-Eye Mad Wolf charging in the front, the Earth-Armored Dragon Rhino following closely behind, or the other exotic beasts within the group, they were all at least as powerful as a seventh-tier Divine Heart Priest. In the center, the two Iron-Backed Saber-Tooth Tigers, clearly the leaders, possessed terrifying strength comparable to a ninth-tier Divine Heart Priest.
"Form a formation, form a formation quickly!" Yuan Xiangzhi was so scared that his face turned pale. He crawled towards Zheng Anze and others. When he passed by Mu Hanyan, he dragged Su Baoer back.
The expressions of all the priests in the Temple of Light changed. Although their number was several times that of this group of strange beasts, in terms of strength, only the leader Zheng Anze and several other law enforcement priests had reached the realm of seventh-level Divine Heart Priests. Most of the others were fourth to sixth level, and the weakest was only first level. How could they possibly be a match for this group of strange beasts?
Of course, there are stronger masters coming to the Blackwood Prison from the Temple of Light, but the main task of those masters is to hunt for relics and soul beads. How can they have the time to accompany them in the trial?
Without hesitation, everyone quickly drew out their swords and began to form a sword formation with Yuan Xiangzhi and Su Baoer as the core.
It was obvious that these priests had practiced many times before. Although there were hundreds of them, they were all well organized and not at all chaotic.
In just a moment, they formed a magical sword formation. As they hummed, fiery red flames vaguely emerged, forming a transparent red light shield. It seemed as if a meteor shower was suspended in the sky, which could crash down at any time and bring disaster to the world.
Even Mu Hanyan was secretly shocked by the power implied in it.
She was a little surprised at first. Zheng Anze's strength was not that strong, and he brought a group of burdens with him. How could he come here unscathed? Now she knew that they actually had such a powerful magic sword formation.
It’s a pity that their number is still a little small. If there were several times more of them, even if they faced the thousands of strange beasts that had been waiting for a long time when they first arrived at the Black Wood Prison, they would not have been chased and fled.
Zheng Anze led everyone in setting up the sword formation and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The monster that appeared this time was too powerful, and he couldn't help but worry. There was no other way. Even if he couldn't defeat it with his strength, he still had a good chance of escaping. But with a group of burdens, especially a family member like Yuan Xiangzhi who was clearly here to gain experience, he had to be extremely careful.
