Right then, Qi Shu slowed down as well. When he arrived here, he discovered that the surroundings around him were very quiet. Even the sounds of snakes, insects, rats, and ants were gone.
Coupled with the occasional blood stains and the corpses of evolutionary beasts, this place felt like an extremely eerie land of death. An extreme sense of oppressiveness enveloped his heart, and he could not shake it off.
As Qi Shu continued walking forward, he suddenly felt like something was wrong. Just then, the trees around him seemed to be suffering from malnutrition. Withered yellow leaves started to appear.
It was summer now, so it was impossible for something like this to happen. Furthermore, such a thing had not happened on the way here. Everything started becoming abnormal here, so this was a truly strange place.
Qi Shu hesitated for a moment and prepared to continue walking forward. However, the deeper he went, the shorter and more withered the trees became. Some of them had even become bare.
However, there were some small green trees around him, and they looked normal. Perhaps the other trees were sick.
Qi Shu continued to walk forward. He soon saw a huge tree in the distance. Although it couldn’t compare to the ancient tree in the city, it was still extremely tall. It was at least a hundred meters tall, and its thickness was around the girth of at least ten people’s arms.
It looked like a willow tree. Countless willow branches drooped down, and there was not a single blade of grass within a hundred meters of the tree. It was as if the tree had taken away all life.
Qi Shu observed the tree carefully and realized that there was a person leaning against the tree trunk in front of him. He seemed to be asleep. However, this guy was quite bold. He dared to sleep without any form of protection in the wilderness. He seemed to be an expert!
Qi Shu was not sure about the things here. He was about to leave when he suddenly realized that this person’s clothes were similar to those of the Deity Organization. He changed his mind. Since he had already offended the entire organization, he would kill whoever he could.
Qi Shu then headed off in that direction. However, when he got closer, he inadvertently discovered that something was wrong with his surroundings. He noticed that the branches above his head were wrapped in huge balls. Some were very big, while the others were very small.
At that moment, he also saw the member of the Deity Organization. He realized that this person had already died a long time ago. His death was quite miserable. His eye sockets had sunken in deeply, and his entire body had dried up. He was no different from a dried corpse.
Qi Shu looked at the strange scene before him. He was not sure what kind of place this was. What did the man from the Deity Organization encounter for him to become like this? Nevertheless, he would not go near them.
Qi Shu then looked at the huge rock beside him. It seemed to weigh about a ton. He picked it up easily and threw it at the member of the Deity Organization.
The rock let out a whistling sound in the air as it flew off and smashed into a tree trunk. However, something strange happened. He knew his strength well. That was why he had used such a heavy rock to smash it.
Logically speaking, it should not have been possible to break such a thick tree, but it should have created a dent at the very least. However, only a piece of tree bark fell off from the tree before the rock bounced off it and fell to the ground.
Qi Shu looked at the unusually tall tree in the distance and was beyond puzzled. “What kind of tree is this? Why is it so hard?”
However, at the next moment!
Countless drooping branches danced crazily in the air. Only then did he discover what was inside the willow branch. They were the corpses of evolutionary beasts. Right then, the corpses were being flung over by the tree branches. A cannonball-like roar rang out in the air.
Qi Shu dodged all of them. At this moment, he finally understood something. This tree must have absorbed a lot of the source of life. Evolutionary plants were indeed terrifying. So many evolutionary beasts had failed to defend themselves against it. Fortunately, plants could not move.
However, it was too early to rejoice. The ground began to shake violently. Countless black roots broke out of the ground and intertwined with one another. The roots were just like black pythons that wanted to devour people.
When Qi Shu saw this, his soul almost left his body. If he was sucked by the roots, he would definitely die. He immediately burst out with unparalleled speed and fled frantically.
Meanwhile, the roots charged over and sealed off a large portion of the road ahead. There were only extremely small cracks in the path before him.
Qi Shu jumped up and stepped on the tree roots in mid-air. With an odd twist, he avoided all the tree roots that were coming at him as well as the sand, stones, and corpses of the evolutionary beasts that were being thrown at him. He then darted away!
Qi Shu dodged crazily. He stepped on tree trunks, rocks, and corpses using his abilities from the large success stage of the Mind Movement Technique. He used his strength from different directions and allowed his body to change directions mid-air.
Thankfully, these things were relatively slow. They were relatively huge as well. He was much smaller compared to them.
Qi Shu dodged the attacks between the countless tree roots as if he were dancing on a sword. He would die without a grave if he made one wrong move.
…
Qi Shu kept running for several thousand meters before he was able to escape from the pursuit of the roots. Now that he was running backward, the entire ground seemed to have been turned upside down.
Countless trees had been destroyed, leaving only the green liquid and black roots, which were dancing endlessly in the distance.
Qi Shu was standing on top of a big tree. His face was still filled with fear. When he threw that rock, it felt like he had poked at a hornet’s nest. It was truly terrifying.
However, when he turned around, he saw a huge commotion coming from afar. It looked like some creatures were fighting there. The commotion was so loud that the whole tree started shaking. It shook just like the tree from just now!
Qi Shu was speechless. How could he be so unlucky? He had just escaped from an ambush , and he was met with another attack?
Qi Shu hesitated for a moment. He still had to check it out. It was best to mark the most dangerous zones to prevent himself from entering.
He immediately headed toward the source of the commotion. After climbing over a mountain, he saw a valley below him. He was at the top.
Qi Shu caught sight of the situation at a single glance. A few evolutionary beasts were confronting each other. The few beasts in the exterior part of the group were riddled with injuries. It was as if they would die in the next moment. The target of their battle was shrouded in a dark aura.
Qi Shu could vaguely see a black wolf among them. Its forehead was shining with a dazzling purple-gold light, and its entire body surged with a black aura. It emitted a single type of aura from head to toe-an invincible aura.
Qi Shu looked at the black wolf. He took a deep breath, turned around, and left.
He was definitely not a match for this black wolf. If he got too close, he might even be killed by its strong forces!
It seemed like this black wolf was the evolutionary beast that the military had mentioned. This wolf was about to evolve to the Warrior rank. It would be best for him to not provoke it. Otherwise, he would definitely die!
