They knew that all the strange settings in the cultivation world were commonplace.
When Sheng Ning saw the withered branch at her feet, she couldn't help but twitch her eye.
The other party seemed to be aware of Sheng Ning's silent attitude and bumped into her instep with its body.
"Chirp chirp!"
Sheng Ning never expected that he would pick up a dead branch and take it back.
This mountain is the one with the most abundant wood-type spiritual energy in Chongwu Mountain.
As she descended the mountain with the withered branch, and looked back, she clearly sensed that the spiritual energy on the mountaintop had also vanished.
She probed the withered branch in her hand with her divine sense, and found that apart from the black mist surrounding the branch, there was no spiritual energy on it.
"Did you consume all the spiritual energy here?"
Otherwise, how could she have seen the withered trees on the mountaintop shrouded in black mist instantly envelop her when she picked it up?
The black mist lingered around her for a full quarter of an hour before being completely absorbed by the withered branch in her palm.
"Chirp chirp".
Sheng Ning withdrew his gaze, frowned, and continued towards other hilltops.
The withered branches did not resist, and the vines that had been wrapped around her wrists were still there, their leaves occasionally brushing against her palms and the backs of her hands, taking advantage of her body.
Finally unable to bear the sight of a tree branch arousing her lust, Sheng Ning stopped and said coldly, "Let's make this clear first, if I kiss you, you're not allowed to act like a hooligan."
From the moment this withered branch saw her, it began to entwine its vines around her body, never uttering a serious word, only making constant chirping noises.
It's simply... a lewd tree!
"Chirp chirp?"
Hearing the withered branch's response, Sheng Ning swallowed hard, took it in his hand, and lowered his head to place a kiss on one of its spots.
"Chirp chirp!"
Sheng Ning: ......
It seems she misunderstood the eyes?
This guy doesn't not want to talk, it's just that all it can do is 'chirp'.
As if struck by lightning, Sheng Ning looked at it with a speechless expression.
The two roles have been reversed, and now she's the one teasing the person—or rather, the withered branch.
The withered branch in her palm, which was originally slightly cool, instantly became scalding hot after she placed that kiss on it.
And it's gone soft...
Upon first encountering such a creature, Sheng Ning said awkwardly, "Well, I don't understand what you're saying either. I thought you were being a pervert."
"I'm sorry, how about I compensate you?"
"Would you like some pills or spiritual fruits? Or would you prefer to eat some demon beast cores or something?"
Sheng Ning's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.
Ultimately, she was the one who sexually assaulted the other person while she was unaware of his actions, so she has to take responsibility for him no matter what.
Upon seeing the pills and spiritual fruits displayed in her hand, the withered branch in its hand carefully extended its vines and attached its leaves to the spiritual fruits. However, in an instant, the spiritual fruits lost their efficacy.
Is this about taking the essence and discarding the dross?
Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow.
Her mustard seed bag contained few other things, but plenty of spiritual fruits.
She fed a withered branch with spiritual fruit all the way. If others saw this scene, they would probably think she was crazy.
When she returned to the scene of the monster frenzy, she did not sense any familiar presence among the monsters and cultivators.
Where are Lu Qing'an and the others?
The Golden Core stage is a watershed moment for cultivators, and it is also a watershed moment for demonic beasts.
Demonic beasts that advance to the Golden Core stage can manifest divine consciousness, and their power and abilities far surpass those of cultivators of the same level.
In this way, the cultivation of talismans and pills becomes especially important at this time.
After the martial arts, swordsmanship, and magic practitioners take the field, they will provide supplies from the rear.
However, when she scanned the scene with her divine sense, she did not find any talisman cultivators or alchemists. The few remaining sword cultivators also seemed exhausted and were gritting their teeth and resisting.
What happened?
Sheng Ning's furrowed brows tightened instantly. He activated an acceleration talisman, affixed it to his body, and sped up, running a lap around the outer mountain range.
The scene she witnessed was far more serious than what she had perceived with her divine sense.
The scene was covered in blood, not only from demonic beasts, but also from many cultivators.
Although there were no bodies at the scene, she could already imagine how bloody it must have been.
One of the areas was protected by a barrier, the identity of which cultivator had set it up, and the contents of the barrier were unknown.
She dodged several Golden Core stage demonic beasts and quickly descended the mountain, only to be startled by the scene before her, causing her pupils to shrink abruptly.
Something has definitely happened.
The three-day monster frenzy each appeared in the form of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core stages.
Since Qin Chuan was leading the Taixu Sect team this time, and Qin Chuan had already entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, everyone relaxed a bit.
Unexpectedly, this wave of Golden Core stage demonic beasts came with great force, and there were also several Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts mixed in.
A group of Golden Core cultivators from various sects were immediately terrified and tried to escape, but were trapped on the mountain.
Amidst the horde of monsters, demonic beasts at the Integration Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage appeared. Everyone believed they couldn't defeat them, and their Dao hearts were instantly thrown into chaos. In order to escape, everyone began to kill each other indiscriminately.
Several disciples from small sects who were left alone perished as a result; their inner cores were crushed by the demonic beasts, and their deaths were horrific.
"Sheng Ning! You're still alive!"
The exclamation that came to her ears brought Sheng Ning back to her senses.
Seeing her senior brothers in the corner, who looked somewhat disheveled but were still alive, Sheng Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Before she could take a step forward, she saw her senior brothers rush over and surround her.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you run up the mountain alone? Do you know how dangerous that is?"
"This year's frenzy has changed; even Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts have appeared. How are you? Are you injured?"
"I'm so angry! Gu Zhuo and his gang of bastards said you're definitely dead. If Qin Chuan hadn't gone up the mountain to fight that monster, I would have slapped him twice across the face first!"
