Chapter 1453

Silently, the gathered branches launched an attack at Zi Chen and the other two.

This dense forest was very mysterious. It could suppress spiritual perception.

Otherwise, Zi Chen would have sensed it at such a distance.

Zi Chen did not sense anything. As for Wu Xie, he was very excited. He was thinking about the Undying Bird. Maybe he could get the Undying Inheritance. He was so distracted that he did not notice anything.

With his sharp senses, Zi Chen felt something was wrong. He turned around and the scabbard appeared in his hand.

After turning around, he saw a figure. It was Shang Guan Hong.

At this moment, Shang Guan Hong was emitting a bright green light. The green light was full of vitality.

She raised her hand and stretched it forward. Her palm was full of agile green spiritual power.

In front of the spiritual power was a large number of branches. These branches were wriggling like spiritual snakes.

"Holy shit! What is this?" Wu Xie, who had turned around, was shocked when he saw this scene.

If Shang Guan Hong was not here, the two of them would have been besieged.

The wriggling branches were also glowing. They looked very tough. Once surrounded, even if it was not fatal, it would be very troublesome.

Then, Wu Xie looked up and saw the ancient trees open their eyes.

"Trees can become spirits." Wu Xie's expression changed. It was the first time he saw a tree becoming a spirit.

"This dense forest is very strange. All the ancient trees here have gained spiritual intelligence. They have some tricks. They are not strong alone, but they are very troublesome when besieged." The green light around Shang Guan Hong did not diminish. The green light passed through the branches and extended to her body.

The green light gradually filled the entire ancient tree and gradually surrounded them. The indifferent eyes on the ancient tree also gradually showed a hint of comfort. Then, it closed its eyes.

Following the closing of those eyes, the branches and leaves that had extended out from those eyes automatically shrank back.

"I felt that there was something strange in this place. I thought there would be tree demons, but I did not expect these ancient trees to have all turned into demons." Shang Guan Hong said after retracting the green light.

"What are we going to do now? Are we just going to go a little deeper?"

Wu Xie appeared to be a little anxious because there was still a battle going on in the depths. If the higher life form dealt with the Undying Bird early, they would not be able to obtain anything.

"I'll give you a strand of energy. It should be able to avoid the perception of these Treants."

Shangguan Hong shook her hand and pointed out two green lights, which looked like the green light seeds that she often used.

Zi Chen and Wu Xie's expressions also changed subconsciously. Clearly, this was a conditioned reflex. When they saw the green light, they couldn't help but think of Shangguan Hong's methods. They wanted those human cultivators who had turned into trees.

The green dots of light spread out, forming a light barrier that enveloped the two of them.

After that, Shang Guan Hong led the way and the two followed.

Along the way, those ancient trees no longer opened their eyes, and their branches no longer extended. This move successfully avoided the Tree Spirit.

After that, the three of them sped up and moved forward without any obstructions.

"Boom." "Boom."

The great earth rumbled, the battle still continuing. Many ancient trees left their original regions, slowly moving towards the depths.

"The Tree Spirits here are actually moving towards the depths. Could there be a Tree King-level existence there?" Shangguan Hong's expression became a little unnatural.

If there really was a Tree King, the three of them should have been discovered long ago. This green light could avoid the Tree Spirits, but it couldn't avoid the Tree King's perception.

However, the Tree King didn't signal these Tree Spirits to attack. It probably couldn't care less.

Shangguan Hong's expression became solemn, and a trace of vigilance appeared in her beautiful eyes as she whispered, "Be careful. I suspect that there's a Tree King here."

"What do you mean?" Wu Xie was puzzled.

"In addition to the Undying Bird, there might be a Tree King. Those higher life forms haven't succeeded yet. This should be the reason why."

Zi Chen had encountered similar Tree Spirits on the Ancient Road of Trial, so he knew how powerful and terrifying they were. However, those Tree Spirits couldn't move. They were specially used for the trial.

The Tree Spirits here were also used for the trial, but they could move. Zi Chen had the same guess in his heart, so naturally, he was also worried.

With the guidance of these ancient trees, Zi Chen and the others quickly arrived at the battlefield.

Boom!!

Energy shook, and a large number of Tree Spirits fell. A powerful energy wave swept towards the three of them.

"There really are two big guys." Bypassing a Tree Spirit, the three of them saw the battlefield in front.

On the battlefield, there was an Undying Bird. Its whole body was fiery red, like a creature transformed from a burning flame. With every blow, a large sea of fire would rush out and sweep in all directions.

Around it, there were seven higher life forms. Among these seven people, there was Jin Meng that Zi Chen had seen before. The others were unfamiliar, but they were all second-stage cultivators.

At this moment, the seven of them were divided into two teams. Three of them were besieging the Undying Bird, while the other four were launching fierce attacks towards the thick ancient tree below the Undying Bird.

That ancient tree was the thickest in the entire forest. Its roots were like horned dragons, and together with the branches that could extend at will, it defended against the attacks from all sides.

Swoosh!

Each of the vines was like a curved spear, neutralizing the attacks of the four Greater Life forms.

Its eyes were cold and ruthless, but in the next moment, it glanced into the distance without leaving a trace.

At this time, Zi Chen and the others just happened to arrive at this place.

The sound of tremors continued to spread. Beside Zi Chen and the other two, the tree spirits rushed forward, as if they didn't care about their lives.

The seven higher life forms would also occasionally turn around and attack these Tree Spirits.

Tree Spirits were very durable and had strong vitality, so most of these higher life forms attacked with the purpose of repelling and sending them flying.

"What should we do?" Wu Xie asked as he watched the battle from a secret place.

Zi Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, our goal is to destroy the seven of them. That Undying Bird can't die, and that Ancient Tree Spirit can't die."

A light flashed in Shangguan Hong's beautiful eyes. She also lowered her voice and said, "Yes, these seven people are really abominable. If there's a chance, we'll kill one of them."

Wu Xie had a puzzled look on his face. They were obviously here to get the Undying Bird, so why did they have to kill these seven higher life forms?

However, Wu Xie immediately felt relieved. Both sides would be enemies sooner or later. If there was a chance to kill them, they naturally couldn't miss it.

Was this really the reason?

In the distance, the indifferent eyes of the Ancient Tree King changed slightly, but this change disappeared in a flash.

The entanglement of the Tree Spirits made the higher life forms annoyed. It seemed that these two guys didn't have any more powerful means. After the seven of them looked at each other, they decided to use some powerful means.

For a time, in addition to the sharp cries, there were also the roars of beasts.

The seven higher life forms actually revealed their true forms at the same time. Seven more beasts appeared in the sky, exuding an aura that made people's hearts palpitate.

What Jin Meng transformed into was actually a humongous battle beast. This battle beast was something that the Zi Chen trio had never seen before. Its entire body was black in color and its body was covered in fine scales. Its body was as large as a mountain, while its eyes emitted a silver light. On its forehead, there were two sharp sword-like horns that pierced the heavens.

"What is that?" It was obviously the first time the three of them had seen this kind of higher life form.

Swoosh.

After revealing its true form, Jinmeng's speed and strength had increased by a large margin. Its powerful might was comparable to the Sky Devouring Wolf that Lang Wei transformed into.

Because the two weren't much different. One was a Sky Devouring Wolf, and the other was an Earth Devouring Beast.

The two were old enemies.

The Earth Devouring Beast rushed towards the Ancient Tree King. Wherever it passed, it left behind afterimages.

Puff. Puff. Puff. Puff.

The tree branches shot out like spears, but they only pierced through the afterimages.

"Boom!"

The Earth Devouring Beast arrived in front of the Ancient Tree King. The two horns on its forehead began to glow as it slammed towards the Ancient Tree King.

Puff. Puff.

Two rays of light were released from the two horns. Two large holes instantly appeared on the Ancient Tree King's body. Green blood flowed out from the holes.

Of course, Jinmeng was able to succeed in one hit. In addition to revealing its true form, it also had the help of several other battle beasts.

In addition to the Earth Devouring Beast that Jinmeng transformed into, there were also other battle beasts transformed from higher life forms. Among them, there was an unknown blue leopard, a battle beast that emitted flames all over its body, and a battle beast similar to the Red-Eyed Boar Demon.

In short, all of the higher life forms present were very powerful.

After revealing his main body, he continued to restrict them. The Undying Bird and Ancient Tree King were slowly losing.

However, those higher life forms seemed to be very cautious. They never launched a desperate attack, only attacking very carefully.

Because of the number, the seven higher life forms completely suppressed the Ancient Tree King and the Undying Bird. The wounds on their bodies were increasing. It seemed that death was only a matter of time.

"What should we do?" Looking at the battle that was gradually coming to an end, Wu Xie asked.

"These seven guys are too cunning. Perhaps they have discovered us long ago. That's why they are so cautious. If we rush up rashly, only death awaits us." Zi Chen sighed, his words full of regret.

"Unfortunately, we are still too weak. We are humans, and they are higher life forms." Shang Guan Hong also had a look of disappointment.

"Haha, let's die together."

Suddenly, a loud laugh sounded in front of them. This laughter came from the Ancient Tree King. A powerful aura was suddenly released from its body.

This aura began to spread and spread all the way to the end of the jungle.

After sensing this aura, the Ancient Tree Spirits that had been charging forward stopped. The next moment, a green dot of light emitted from their bodies and floated towards the sky.

For a time, in the entire jungle, green dots of light rushed out from all the Ancient Tree Spirits.

The floating green dots of light all headed towards the Ancient Tree King and then merged into its body.

The already powerful aura around the Ancient Tree King became even more powerful and terrifying.

As more dots of light were injected, the Ancient Tree King had the aura of a king that looked down on the world.
