  Qingfeng Li looked at the Red Forest in front of him and frowned slightly. After a second of deep thinking, he didn’t hear any sounds from the young master of the Blade Monarch Sect and his people after they entered. Then, he said to the others, “Go, let us go in.”


  Qingfeng Li led the way in front of the group. Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, and the Peach Blossom She-Devil walked in the middle. The rest of the team, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake followed in the back.

  When Qingfeng Li first stepped in the Red Forest, he felt an unusual aura.

  It reeked of blood. Although it was very faint, Qingfeng Li could clearly smell it.

  Qingfeng Li surveyed his surroundings, and as far as he could see, there were only tall red trees, which were at least a few hundred meters tall and pointing up to the sky. They were flowering and exuberant. Every single one was at least over ten meters in diameter and not one person could put their arms around any one of them.

  On those trees sparkled red talisman scripts, which were like strips of red thread that looked grotesque. Those talisman scripts contained small veins that had the same color as human blood. If men look upon them, it would make their souls tremble.

  Xue Lin had been in the cultivation world for a long time and had experienced quite a lot of it. Her cultivation had reached the fourth level of the monarch realm, and her vision and her other aspects were very clear.

  Xue Lin followed after Qingfeng Li. Her delicate brow furrowed. “Husband, the last group of people just entered the red forest and we should be able to see them. But why can’t we?”


  Qingfeng Li’s face was heavy. “That proves how terrifying the Red Forest is. Think about it, normally we can see things thousands of meters ahead.”


  The young master of the Blade Monarch Sect and his group didn’t leave far ahead but now they had disappeared. They must have bumped into some sudden situation.

  The people around nodded, for they saw clearly that the young master of the Blade Monarch Sect led seven to eight of his men to quickly escape into the Red Forest.

  Not only them but thousands of other self-cultivators also entered the Red Forest. Unfortunately, after Qingfeng Li and his group came in, not one of the other self-cultivators could be seen. The Red Forest, therefore, was even more terrifying, strange, and eerie.

  “Ahh!”


  Suddenly a mournful scream broke the silence. It sounded extremely miserable and eerie as though someone had seen the most terrifying thing, and their hearts trembled.

  Qingfeng Li’s face changed. “Go, hurry and keep going.”


  Qingfeng Li and his people were fast. Soon, they arrived at a place three hundred meters ahead. They saw a foot had been left under a big red tree.

  Qingfeng Li’s face went cold after he saw this foot, because it was clearly from a self-cultivator. Bloodied flesh connected with bones and tendons were distinctly visible, but everything above the foot was gone.

  Mengyao Xu’s face turned an odd color. “Could there be demonic beasts? Maybe they ate up this self-cultivator and only left one foot.”


  Qingfeng Li did not say anything. Black Puppy shook his head. “There aren’t any demonic beasts’ auras here. As a dog ancestor, I am very familiar with all the demonic beasts. If there were any, I would be the first to spot them.”


  Qingfeng Li nodded and explained to Mengyao Xu, “Little black is right. Since there are no demonic beasts, this self-cultivator was not devoured by a demonic beast but by something else.”


  Mengyao Xu, Xue Lin, and the other girls were scared. The ladies were naturally afraid of unknown ghosts. Ominous feelings already grew in their hearts, if there were no evil beasts here, could it be a ghost that ate this self-cultivator?

  Qingfeng Li saw the worry from Xue Lin and the other girls. He took out his hand and stroked Xue Lin’s pure and white hand, “No ghosts. There are two suns in the Sun Mystic Realm. Ghosts and other unclean things can not survive. They would be burned out by the high heat of the sun as quickly as they appear.”


  Xue Lin twinkled her bright eyes, somewhat confused. “Not ghosts and not demonic beasts. What else can do such a thing and eat that self-cultivator?”


  Although Xue Lin had some knowledge of the cultivation world, she still didn’t know about many hidden and mysterious things. She was not as erudite as Qingfeng Li.

  Qingfeng Li smiled and pointed his right finger at a red tree in front of them.

  Xue Lin’s eyes were puzzled. She asked quietly, “Honey, you are saying that this red tree ate the self-cultivator? How is that possible? It’s only a tree. How can it eat people?”


  But the Peach Blossom She-Devil’s face changed. She remembered a species from an ancient book she read, and her face turned a little pale.

  The Peach Blossom She-Devil moved one step ahead and came to Qingfeng Li’s side. She whispered, “If I am right, an ancient jade slip recorded that five thousand years ago, the Sun Monarch tamed a Man-Eating Demonic Tree. That tree devoured human flesh and blood and it left behind thousands of carnivorous, demon trees as its descendants.”


  Qingfeng Li nodded. Even before the Peach Blossom She-Devil told the story, he knew that these red trees were demon trees.

  Once, Qingfeng Li had met some carnivorous flowers and plants. If there were flowers that could eat humans, carnivorous trees were no news.

  Qingfeng Li told his people, “Step back. Let me get a look at what this red demon tree really is.”


  Qingfeng Li pressed his foot on the ground gently and brought up a piece of stone. Then his right foot strongly kicked the stone towards the red tree. The stone was launched ruthlessly like a streak of sharp sword energy.

  “Ping!”


  The stone bumped into the edge of the red tree, bounced back, and then disappeared close by.

  The people around were stunned. They were confident in Qingfeng Li’s ability.

  Although he didn’t use any cultivation techniques or dharma treasures to enhance the simple stone attack, it carried at least several millions of kilograms of force. It was unexpectedly blocked by the red tree. This was indeed an unusual tree.

  Qingfeng Li smiled mildly. “Interesting. It can actually block my stone attack. I should try something else.”


  Qingfeng Li opened his mouth and blew a streak of golden energy. It pierced the void and thrusted towards the red tree with piercing energy. This time the red tree sensed the danger and felt, from the golden light, the damage the attack could do to its body.

  Rumble~

  A giant branch hit down from above. That branch was at least a few hundred meters long. It pierced the void and crashed against the golden light, which made a resounding noise.

  At the next second, the golden light dissipated, however, it broke a small piece of that giant branch.

  After a small piece of the branch was broken, bright red blood gushed out from the cut. The blood was the same as human blood and was very pungent.
