Zishu's fight with the alien race was quite intense, so those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos gave up on the idea. Even if they wanted to pick up some scraps, they had to assess the strength of their opponents. Knowing they were no match for them, it would be foolish to run up and die.
Zishu pulled all the spatial rings of those who had died in the killing formation from the yellow sand, then set them on fire to burn their bodies, so that they would not fall into the hands of the evil sects and be unable to rest in peace after death.
The Fire Cloud Scorpions that were sent out haven't returned yet, and we can't stay in this place any longer. In this vast expanse of yellow sand, spiritual herbs are scarce. Looking at his pitiful points, Zishu was anxious! This time, he absolutely couldn't fall behind Xiu Qiyu; he had to make his junior sister understand that their senior brother was unparalleled in combat.
Zishu simply took out his flying artifact, sat on it, loaded the spirit stones, and flew off in any direction.
Perhaps Zishu's bad luck had finally ended, because he flew out of the desert after only half a day. When he saw the river and the dense forest in the distance, Zishu almost jumped for joy. Finally, the heavens had stopped messing with him.
After Zishu came out, he encountered the same problem as Jingli. As he lowered his head to drink water, two shadows suddenly rose from the water. One sword attacked his chest, and the other sword slashed at the back of his head. There was also a shadow above him, ready to crush him with Mount Tai.
Seeing how well these people were cooperating, it was clear that this wasn't the first time they had done this. Zishu smiled and a small, transparent cauldron appeared in his hand. It was inconspicuous, but in an instant, it sent the three of them flying.
The Supreme One contained the violent true energy of Zishu, and the three of them were immediately seriously injured. They looked at each other and realized that they had kicked a hornet's nest. The seemingly harmless and weak boy actually had such a powerful magic weapon in his hands.
Indeed, they hadn't recognized that the weapon that sent them flying was the renowned Supreme Elixir Cauldron. They thought it was some powerful magical artifact. As for Zishu's own skill, it was mediocre. The reason he was able to break their trap was simply because the artifact was too cunning and strange, catching them off guard and allowing him to easily succeed. They never imagined that Zishu's skill far surpassed theirs, and that a casual strike could break their trap.
So they exchanged a glance and launched their second attack. Zishu was too lazy to deal with these weaklings. If he hadn't wanted to get some information out of them, he would have killed them long ago.
They enlarged the Supreme Being and used it as a weapon, smashing it down hard, killing two and seriously injuring one.
The remaining survivor, looking at Zishu's calm gaze, finally realized what kind of person they had offended. Such a person could crush them with a single finger. Unfortunately, he realized it too late; it was all too late.
"Tell me where this place is, and if anything major has happened recently?"
"Did you emerge from the Desert of Death, senior?"
"good."
The Death Desert has swallowed countless lives, and this young man before us actually came from within it: "We don't know what this dense forest is called. It seems that powerful demonic beasts roam inside, and many people have died. Fewer people have gone in these past two days. As for major events, I heard that Xiu Qiyu and Fairy Yi have become inseparable."
Before the man could finish speaking, Zishu snapped his neck. Then he clapped his hands, thinking, "What bad luck! He had to tell me something he didn't want to hear."
Knowing that Xiu Qiyu was unreliable, Zishu stormed off to the King's Forest in a rage. The wood-attribute true energy here was very active, and Zishu absorbed it with ease. Wood generates fire, and the fire-attribute true energy was also replenished.
For alchemists, the best place is the forest.
The spiritual herbs on the outer perimeter had been almost completely harvested. Zishu stepped inside and walked for a while. He found that this forest was indeed a bit strange. Along the way, he didn't see any small animals. He didn't encounter any cute herbivorous animals, such as pheasants or rabbits. There were also no birdsong. Zishu's heart suddenly tightened. There was something strange about this dense forest.
The Supreme Being spun around above Zishu's head, while Zishu gripped his sword tightly, constantly on guard against any sudden danger.
Beneath his feet was soft green grass, and on both sides of the narrow road were some inconspicuous flowers and grasses that looked harmless. However, Zishu's mood became more and more tense, as if danger was getting closer and closer to him.
What was that sound? Zishu turned around and gasped. What kind of plant was this? Why was it so eerie? Thick, green vines, like those of an infant, lunged at Zishu with bared teeth and claws. Zishu raised his sword to meet it, naturally with a vengeful strike. Unexpectedly, he only left a shallow white mark on the vine. The enormous rebound force from the sword almost made the sword fly out of his hand.
Zishu gasped. What on earth was this thing? It couldn't be cut by a sword, and it was incredibly agile, constantly changing angles to attack Zishu's vitals. Zishu could only hold his sword and try to block it.
Ye Xiruo, standing outside, gasped. The Chaos Demon Vine! This was an ancient demon vine; how could it be here? Her senior brother's luck was simply too bad.
The others also noticed something was wrong. This vine was far too troublesome! After all, the eldest brother was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, yet he couldn't do anything about a small vine and seemed to be quite embarrassed by it.
Ye Xiruo's lips were pale. The single vine had multiplied into several. The senior brother was already injured. These demonic vines became even more ferocious after seeing blood. As expected of an ancient demonic vine, the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine was simply weak compared to it.
"Oh no, Senior Brother is injured."
"This is the Chaos Demon Vine, incredibly tough, impervious to water and fire, and its favorite prey is the flesh and blood of cultivators or spirit beasts rich in spiritual energy." This place is the territory of the Chaos Demon Vine, and these dense vines have existed for who knows how long. No wonder Zishu hasn't seen any living creatures along the way; they've all been devoured by the Chaos Demon Vine.
Is there anything that can control it?
“Strange Fire, Weak Water, and Qianling Grass.”
"It seems that Senior Brother doesn't have any of these three items." Si Hao was also a little anxious. If Zishu were to perish, it would be a huge blow to the Pill King Palace.
"The Qianling Grass is near the Chaos Demon Vine. Let's see if Senior Brother can find it."
Purple flames flickered from Zishu's fingertips, gently tracing the sword's blade, causing it to shimmer with a beautiful purple light. While Zishu's flames weren't a rare, otherworldly fire, they were still a well-known type of earth fire. Although they couldn't completely suppress the Chaos Demon Vine, they were still effective. At this moment, Zishu's sword had already severed half of the Chaos Demon Vine. One more strike, and the severed, powerless vine would be stored in his spatial ring.
