After passing through here, the path they took from then on would be relatively safer.
Although it's still a dense forest, it's no longer as dangerous as the man-eating tree.
As they walked along the road, they found themselves occasionally admiring the beautiful scenery in the woods.
"Was this road deliberately created?"
Xu Qingqiu walked along the road with some curiosity, looking at the scenery ahead and said, "I wonder what the end of this road will be like."
"You'll know once you go and see for yourself."
Ning Qi followed and walked up, looking at the dense forest around him: "But this road is really long. We've been walking for so long and we still haven't reached the end."
"Master, why do I feel like we're just going around in circles?"
The spirit flew around, looking at the surroundings, and couldn't help but say something.
"Going in circles? Haven't you noticed that the scenery in the woods here is different every time?"
"What are you talking about? It's just that this place is too big!"
Xu Qingqiu smiled and looked ahead, saying, "I feel like we need to find a place to rest tonight; leaving this place is out of the question!"
"It's tomorrow! Let's hurry on our way, we'll definitely make it out!"
“Master, actually… I also feel like we’re going in circles.”
At this moment, the nine-tailed cat, who had rarely spoken, also spoke.
"Oh? Really? Let me see!"
Ning Qi became more vigilant after hearing his words.
If it were just Yao Ling saying that, it wouldn't be so bad.
However, if even the intelligent nine-tailed cat says so, then this matter is worth investigating.
Then, it leaped into the air.
Once here, he was able to fly into the void, no longer as restricted as he had been in the hilly area.
"call!"
When Ning Qi arrived above the dense forest, he discovered that the passage they were walking on was flanked by a continuous expanse of dense forest.
These dense forests covered everything in sight.
They were densely packed, like locusts.
The only path they were on was unobstructed, as if some kind of barrier was restricting them.
This is a forbidden zone that cannot be crossed.
"What happened?"
Ning Qi murmured, his brows furrowed.
"This is……"
Before anyone knew it, Xu Qingqiu also flew over and hovered beside him, looking at everything in surprise.
"have no idea."
Ning Qi shook his head and sighed, "It seems we're not very lucky; there are traps everywhere here."
"I'm wondering if we shouldn't have followed these hills here in the first place?"
Xu Qingqiu's beautiful eyes narrowed as she continued to scan the dense forest before her.
For a moment, it was impossible to tell what was going on here.
"Master, do these trees move? We feel like they're watching us, like people."
The spirit also flew onto Ning Qi's shoulder and spoke to him in a low voice.
How did you find out?
Ning Qi listened to Yao Ling's words, narrowed his eyes, and looked around at the situation.
He hasn't noticed anything amiss yet.
"I don't know, but I always have this feeling."
"It always feels eerie."
Yao Ling shook her head vigorously and shrank her neck.
"It's probably because it was made from various rare and precious materials, and it has a unique sensitivity to these trees."
Xu Qingqiu listened to Yao Ling's words and then spoke to Ning Qi.
"That's possible!"
Ning Qi nodded, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Hmph, since that's the case, I'll test their strength."
"I want to see who's playing tricks."
"Don't be impulsive, what if..."
Xu Qingqiu wanted to stop it.
However, Ning Qi gave her a reassuring look: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Yes, don't be afraid, my master is very strong."
"He still has the Chaos Flame; at worst, he can burn them all!"
Yao Ling was just waiting for Ning Qi to make a move, and when she heard that Ning Qi was going to make a move, she was extremely excited.
Meanwhile, Ning Qi had already arrived at the dense forest.
He looked at the strange trees with his eyes, then took out the Chaos Sword.
He quietly activated the power of immortals and demons.
"call!"
Ning Qi took a deep breath and then waved his hand.
A streak of sword energy burst forth.
In an instant, he slashed into the woods in front of him.
"Click!"
The rows of trees in front of them were instantly cut in half.
"puff!"
A stream of green mist gushed out from within the tree trunk.
The surging tide enveloped the dense forest in front of him.
"What's going on?"
Xu Qingqiu immediately tensed up upon seeing the situation before her.
It landed directly not far from Ning Qi, already prepared for defense.
"Don't worry, let's see what's going on!"
Ning Qi did not rush in to see what was going on.
He simply waved his hand gently, signaling Xu Qingqiu to step back a little.
As she stepped back, Ning Qi also took a few steps back to continue observing the situation.
After a short while, the bluish mist in front of us gradually dissipated.
"Master, this...the tree has been restored!"
It was at this moment that Yao Ling exclaimed in surprise.
He was the first to clearly see what was happening inside.
The trees that Ning Qi had just cut down have returned to their original state, as if nothing had happened.
On the contrary, it became even more upright.
"Something's definitely fishy!"
Xu Qingqiu looked at the situation with a solemn expression.
"Then I'll have to try using my blazing flames!"
As Ning Qi spoke, he immediately activated the Crimson Fire Immortal Technique.
White flames immediately swirled around his hands.
"go!"
Ning Qi waved his hands, and immediately water ripples appeared around him.
It transformed into rings of blazing light, shooting towards the forest in front of us.
In just a moment, it swallowed up the forest in front of it.
"Sizzle..."
In an instant, a raging fire broke out.
These chaotic flames burned so fiercely that even the void itself was scorched and distorted.
"Burn it!"
Ning Qi's hands flew, unleashing the flames from his palms.
The woods in front of them were completely swallowed up.
Even the distant mountains have been set ablaze.
In just a moment, the place was completely engulfed in flames.
The crackling and burning sounds were heard all around.
"Great! We finally succeeded!"
Yao Ling danced with joy, jumping and hopping excitedly in front of them.
"call!"
However, at this moment, gusts of wind began to surge in from afar.
Even amidst this fierce wind, a green aura still surged.
In just a moment, it enveloped the entire dense forest.
In an instant, even Ning Qi's raging flames were engulfed.
"This... can't be extinguished, can it?"
"Even the man-eating tree can't handle your flames!"
Looking at the situation before him, Xu Qingqiu immediately showed a hint of despair.
If none of this works, then they are truly trapped here and will die.
"Damn it, it seems this isn't just a problem with the dense forest."
"My flames have been teleported to a void space."
Ning Qi could sense what was happening to his own flames and spoke to the others.
"What? We were teleported here?"
Xu Qingqiu looked at him in disbelief.
"Yes, they couldn't put out my fire; they were teleported away."
"Otherwise, this place will be burned to the ground by my flames sooner or later."
Ning Qi nodded and looked at the dense forest ahead: "I feel like I should have come up with a solution, it's just a bit risky!"
What do you want to do? You don't want to go inside, do you?
Xu Qingqiu guessed Ning Qi's thoughts and couldn't help but ask.
"That's right. Since they can teleport me to other spaces, I'd like to see what kind of space it is!"
Ning Qi nodded and took two steps forward.
"Master, don't be impulsive! This could teleport us somewhere!"
Seeing this, Yao Ling stood on his shoulder and pulled him forcefully.
But how can an arm twist a thigh?
They couldn't budge Ning Qi at all.
"That's settled then, you and Miss Xu can stay together."
"Keep going forward and see if you can find anything!"
“If it’s not right, then I think you can turn back.”
"At least these man-eating trees know how powerful I am. Since you're all on my side, you probably won't dare to provoke us again!"
Ning Qi pointed to the way they had come from.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to get out!"
Xu Qingqiu sighed, but a serious look appeared in her eyes: "However, I think you can give it a try."
"Perhaps you are right."
"If you succeed, we will be saved."
"Okay, then I'll go!"
"If you really can't get out, then wait for me to come back!"
Ning Qi nodded and patted Yao Ling's little head: "Remember to be good. Don't do anything reckless when I'm not around!"
"Understood, Master!"
Be careful!
Yao Ling nodded, a look of reluctance on her face.
"Let's go!"
Ning Qi waved at them.
He then walked straight into the dense forest in front of him.
When he went inside, the mist had not yet dissipated.
Ning Qi looked at the tree that had just been scorched and had not yet fully recovered.
"call!"
Ning Qi spread his hands out and gathered white chaotic flames on them.
"Hiss..."
The raging flames made the surrounding void crackle and hiss.
It was as if the hem of a garment was fluttering in the wind.
"go!"
Ning Qi continued to move inward, while simultaneously sending the raging flames flying again.
"call!"
Flames began to burn fiercely, igniting once again in the dense forest.
Ning Qi looked at everything before him, and then began to unleash the flames from his palms in all directions.
As the flames burned, the entire space began to ripple with heat.
Twisted and deformed.
"call!"
Ning Qi began to sprint toward the heart of the fire.
At the same time, he gathered all the flames towards his entire body.
At this moment, he was like a man of fire, his whole body engulfed in endless flames.
He thus became one with the raging flames burning in the dense forest.
We are inseparable.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, dozens of cracks suddenly appeared in the surrounding void.
These cracks began to engulf the flames below.
Under this engulfing influence, the flames began to soar into the sky.
It was swallowed up by the gap.
"I see."
Ning Qi looked at everything before him, then flew away.
"Whoosh!"
In just a moment, they arrived at the crevice.
Only then did he realize that even the flames he had just ignited were burning wildly inside the crevice.
It turned this place into a sea of fire.
Ning Qi watched the situation unfold before him, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.
I want to see clearly what kind of place this is.
To avoid being discovered, the white, chaotic flames always swirled around his entire body.
He couldn't tell the difference between the flames and him at all.
This way, they avoided being discovered that someone had come in.
At the same time, just to be on the safe side, the chaotic flames were continuously unleashed.
This made the fire burn even more fiercely.
"call!"
"..."
A fierce wind arose, trying to engulf his flames.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
These gales were no match for Ning Qi's chaotic flames.
Instead, these flames burned over an even larger area after coming into contact with the wider void.
Ning Qi hovered in the void, observing the situation and trying to figure out exactly what kind of place this was.
However, after wandering around for a while, he still couldn't find anything suspicious.
"Damn it, not a single clue?"
Ning Qi cursed, then his eyes lit up.
Suddenly, something occurred to me.
Several clones of immortal and demonic power were directly condensed.
Similarly, these clones were also surrounded by chaotic flames.
Subsequently, under his arrangement, these clones began to search the surrounding area with him.
At first, there were no discoveries, but later, some discoveries were gradually made.
This empty space is actually not that big.
It's similar to the plaza at the entrance of his mountain.
However, there are also some formations that restrict movement within this space.
Ning Qi did not rush to manipulate these restrictions, but instead continued to observe.
After confirming that there were no other problems, they proceeded to one of the restrictions.
After he activated it, the restriction first produced a ripple.
The next moment, a scene emerged from it.
It was right here in the dense forest passage where he had been before.
Within this barrier, Xu Qingqiu and the others could be seen wandering aimlessly.
"What?"
Ning Qi stared wide-eyed, looking at the scene before him in disbelief.
I never expected it to turn out like this.
This means that their every move can be monitored from here.
He changed the restriction again and activated it once more.
"call!"
The next moment, he clearly saw that some mist was rising among these dense forests.
It was the blue mist they had seen earlier.
The mist began to spread, enveloping the dense forest in the area.
He then changed the restriction and continued to observe.
Finally, the problem was discovered.
Below, which is the passage to the outside world, the situation is actually controlled from here.
So who was in control before?
If someone wasn't deliberately controlling it, how could there be a surge of green energy?
Ning Qi focused his attention on this space as he pondered this.
Throughout the entire process, he enveloped his body in flames.
That's why they completely conceal their bodies so that no one can discover their existence.
So, if we abandon the protection of the flames, will it attract the people here?
Or rather, let's see what exactly is causing this trouble, preventing us from leaving?
Ning Qi thought about it and made a decision.
"call!"
The next moment, he completely extinguished the flames surrounding him. (End of Chapter)
