"..." The person on the corpse tree was not wearing any clothes!
As they remained silent, the tree cried out again, "Lord, Lord, save me!"
Geng Qi frowned and asked, "You know me?"
The person in the tree saw his face clearly, but said in confusion, "Your aura is very familiar, very similar to that of the Venerable One who came here more than a thousand years ago."
More than a thousand years ago?
Geng Qi was taken aback, then turned and exchanged a glance with Rong Yu.
He remembered that this person had said that before the former Demon Lord unified the Demon Realm, he had also been to the Desolate Swamp Secret Realm, which was more than a thousand years ago!
"Who...are you? Why are you here?"
The man said, “A thousand years ago, the Venerable One left a wisp of his spiritual consciousness here to help me take human form. I… I am very familiar with this place. I can take you wherever you want to go!”
Geng Qi: "..."
He doesn't need the navigation function!
As they hesitated, a sudden tremor shook the ground, and Jie Beiying said, "Someone's coming."
Those who can get here now are probably from other sects that they have left behind.
Their goals were indeed aligned!
Judging from the commotion, it's probably more than just people who's coming!
"It's a feral beast, and it's probably after you."
Geng Qi said, "Attack me?"
Seemingly frightened, the man spoke much more fluently: "Yes, when the Lord came here, he set fire to most of the Corpse Trees, so they may have mistaken you for the Lord."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the already gloomy sky turned completely black, and herds of feral beasts flew towards them.
Geng Qi said, "Why would he burn trees for no reason!"
Although this thing is disgusting, it is food for the deer. It would be strange if it didn't hold a grudge against him after losing its food. If he guessed correctly, the person who came here was the former Demon Lord. In this situation, isn't he just setting his son up for failure?
"The fleas won't leave the mountain of corpses. Once we're out of here, they won't chase us anymore. You...you have to take me with you. If I stay here, they'll eat me!"
The man spoke urgently, and Geng Qi looked at Rong Yu questioningly.
Time was of the essence, and there was no time to think. With a thought, Rong Yu sent out black thorns that grew from his feet, uprooted the corpse tree where the man was, wrapped him up with the thorns, and threw him into a useless storage artifact.
The five people flew away on their swords, and a group of feral beasts landed where they had stopped. Having failed to catch their target, they roared angrily to the sky in unison.
Those who had left the mountain of corpses on their swords soon stopped again. The spiritual pressure on the ninth level was too heavy, and flying on a sword consumed too much spiritual energy, so they could only walk.
The person who had complained of being sleepy earlier had already fallen into a deep sleep in Rong Yu's arms after the group stopped.
