Chapter 1596

After entering the Battlefield of Despair, Zi Chen appeared in the Desert of Death.

This was one of the few native mutant beasts in this area. There were Twin Scorpions, Giant Lizards, Sand Snakes, and other powerful creatures.

Zi Chen could only see the Twin Scorpions. Not only were they proficient in physical attacks, but their soul attacks were also very strong. They had almost caused Zi Chen to suffer a great loss.

Zi Chen quickly flew above the desert. Because he was flying at a low altitude, some of the Giant Scorpions that were proficient in soul attacks launched attacks. Fortunately, Zi Chen's soul was strong enough. He was prepared in advance and was not afraid.

If it were any other eighth or ninth stage cultivator, they might not be as relaxed as Zi Chen.

By the time Zi Chen saw a trace of green at the end of the world, the third Spirit Crystal had been completely exhausted. Now, he had less than 85% of the energy in his body.

At this moment, Zi Chen was covered in sand and dust. His robes were no longer recognizable.

Without hesitation, he absorbed the fourth Spirit Crystal. Like an arrow released from a bow, Zi Chen turned into a beam of light and rushed towards the green.

"Bang!"

Zi Chen heavily smashed into this patch of green. The sand on his body shook off and shot out in all directions like hidden weapons.

Behind him, the sand in the desert was constantly churning. Giant Scorpions appeared on the sand, seemingly afraid of this patch of green. They stayed at the edge of the desert but did not enter. From afar, they screamed at Zi Chen with their souls.

After a moment, seeing no reaction from the human, they unwillingly retreated back into the sand with their long poisonous stingers.

Zi Chen let out a sigh of relief. He had finally made it out of the desert alive.

However, immediately after, a vine silently extended towards Zi Chen. In an instant, it wrapped around Zi Chen and trapped him.

Zi Chen's sharp senses were greatly reduced here. Before he could react, he was completely covered by the vine and pulled to the ground.

With a loud roar, Zi Chen's body glowed. The energy in his body surged like tides. After several shocks, the vine showed signs of loosening. Zi Chen took advantage of this gap to grab the long saber at his waist.

"Whoosh!"

A bright saber light flashed, and the vines were cut off.

With his saber in hand, Zi Chen turned around and looked in the direction of the vines. There was a small tree that was less than the height of a person. The small tree had many branches, and each branch was an extendable vine.

Zi Chen's gaze turned cold. He saw even more vines shooting toward him, causing whistling sounds as they tore through the air.

Swoosh!

Zi Chen's figure shifted, and he immediately arrived at the side of the vine. With a flash of his saber, he cut off another vine.

As if feeling the pain, these vines trembled and retreated back to the small tree behind them.

Sheathing his long saber, Zi Chen held his gun and shot at the center of the tree.

During this time, many of the vines were destroyed. Zi Chen pointed his spear at the small tree, and with a flash of lightning, the small tree exploded with a boom.

After struggling for a while, the vines stopped moving. Zi Chen had already killed the tree trunk.

The small tree was as thick as a fist. The upper half of the tree had vanished, but the lower half was still there. And in the middle of the tree, Zi Chen saw some liquid that emitted a lustrous light.

After fleeing all the way, Zi Chen was already unable to endure the thirst. When he saw the sparkling liquid, he didn't hesitate to step forward and suck it into his stomach.

When the sap entered his stomach, it had a refreshing feeling. Wisps of energy were produced, replenishing Zi Chen's expenditure.

The sap was equivalent to the spiritual liquid of the outside world. It had the effect of restoring energy, which surprised Zi Chen.

Looking around, there were some similar trees in the distance. Therefore, Zi Chen immediately put away the Spirit Crystal that had been consumed by a third.

There were still one and a half Spirit Crystals left. He didn't know how long the return journey was, so he couldn't waste them.

At this point, Zi Chen realized that all the laws he had comprehended had lost their effects. This included the destruction laws. Even his Perfect Body was suppressed to a certain extent.

This world had its own laws. In addition, its world level wasn't inferior to the Zhanwu Continent. Even though this world was on the verge of destruction, it still blocked all the laws of the outside world.

Zi Chen couldn't use any of the Zhanwu Continent's laws here. Apart from that, he had to abide by the laws of this world.

Every time he flew, he needed to expend a lot of energy. Apart from Spirit Crystals, this energy could only be recovered by food.

Without Spirit Crystals and food, it would be very difficult for his energy to recover. In this world, there was a nomological energy that belonged to him. Unfortunately, foreign humans couldn't use it at all, nor could they use it to replenish their strength.

As the sap entered his stomach, the dryness in his mouth improved. The energy he expended slowly increased.

Zi Chen rested against the dead tree roots. He was still highly nervous. There were dangers everywhere, and they could escape his perception. Zi Chen had to be careful.

If he was in the Zhanwu Continent, Zi Chen could completely mobilize the Wood law. Following that, his perception would increase greatly. Unfortunately, Zi Chen couldn't sense any laws here.

The energy of the sap was quickly consumed. The energy in Zi Chen's body increased a little. If calculated in terms of Spirit Crystals, it was about one percent.

In other words, as long as he killed a hundred of these small trees, he could get the energy equivalent to one Spirit Crystal.

One Spirit Crystal could only restore 85% of Zi Chen's energy.

Zi Chen stood up again. His gaze fell on the second small tree. The long spear in his hand glowed faintly.

The strength of the small tree was not strong. It was equivalent to the fifth or sixth layer of human cultivation. However, the vines were tough and somewhat difficult to deal with.

When Zi Chen used the long spear, only the Burst Formula had an effect. However, after using the long saber, cutting down those tough vines was a piece of cake.

Soon, the second small tree was cut down. Zi Chen once again found the crystal-clear sap and sucked it into his stomach.

However, just as Zi Chen was slowly refining the sap, the small trees in the distance suddenly began to extend. The vines were like spirit snakes, coming from all directions and surrounding Zi Chen.

Zi Chen shouted. He unsheathed his long saber and began another round of slaughter.

After killing more than a dozen small trees, Zi Chen had consumed nearly 75% of his energy. He only had 65% left.

The sap he obtained was not enough to sustain his consumption.

In other words, Zi Chen's efforts and gains were completely inversely proportional.

In this way, before Zi Chen could pass through this forest, his energy would be exhausted and he would die.

In the outside world, Zi Chen, with his powerful battle strength and the perfect world, would not die even if he wanted to. However, in less than a day, Zi Chen had found two places where he could kill himself.

If Meng Xi had not given him five Spirit Crystals in advance, Zi Chen might have already died in that desert.

In the forest, there were small trees. The small trees had things that could restore energy, but Zi Chen did not dare to go deep.

In this unknown world, energy was the most important thing. Therefore, Zi Chen had to find a way to get more sap. No one knew how far the return journey was.

Zi Chen carefully moved forward in the forest, his eyes constantly looking at the small trees. Zi Chen was calculating the distance between the small trees so that he could launch a surprise attack.

"Swish!"

After finding his target, his figure flashed and rushed toward a small tree, the long saber in his hand emitting a cold light.

"I'll finish this battle in two breaths!"

Zi Chen's eyes flashed with unswerving determination, and a flash of saber light appeared.

With a cracking sound, the blocking vines were cut. Zi Chen turned into a stream of light, rushed in front of the small tree, and chopped down with his saber.

The small tree's defense was not strong, and it was cut in half.

However, right after that, the vines from all directions fell onto Zi Chen's head like a huge net.

As if he did not notice the abnormality above his head, Zi Chen took the sap as fast as he could and escaped through a gap in the vines that could not be closed in time.

After escaping successfully, Zi Chen was drenched in cold sweat. When the wind blew, his body was sticky and uncomfortable.

For a little sap, Zi Chen was really walking on the edge of death.

After killing more than ten small trees, Zi Chen's energy was completely depleted. The forest in front of him was endless, just like the desert before. Zi Chen felt bitter.

But he was sure that this was the north direction.

In desperation, he could only walk around the edge of the forest.

During this time, Zi Chen had completely refined the fourth spiritual crystal and more than ten portions of sap. His energy had been restored by nearly thirty percent.

Now, Zi Chen only had ten portions of sap and one spiritual crystal left. Zi Chen wanted to rely on these things to reach the human gathering place.

During the journey, there would be battles from time to time. Zi Chen's energy was constantly depleted, but he would also gain a little. Although the effort was not proportional to the gain, it was better than nothing.

Zi Chen walked around the forest for two days and two nights. Finally, the direction of the forest changed and extended to the other side. Zi Chen gave up on the forest and walked towards the north.

At this moment, he only had twenty percent of his energy left. All that was left was the poisonous sting of the giant scorpion in the storage bag and the War Martial Field Token. As for the spiritual crystal and sap, they were completely depleted in these two days and two nights.

At the same time, Zi Chen felt that his energy was absorbing the energy of this world, but it was very slow. After careful calculation, he came to a conclusion.

As long as he meditated continuously for a month, his energy would be restored to 655 percent.

However, in just three days in this world, Zi Chen had encountered several life and death crises. If he stayed in the same place for a month, he might be in danger.

Moreover, if he did not eat or drink for a month, Zi Chen would probably starve to death.

There were only a few sporadic thick trees in his line of sight, but Zi Chen's sharp senses detected danger.

He stood in place and quietly looked ahead.

It was quiet in front, but the sense of danger was getting stronger and stronger.

Zi Chen did not say anything and turned to leave.

Even if he entered the forest from before, it would be better than staying here.

"What sharp senses!" A sneer sounded and a person walked out from behind a big tree.

It was a man dressed in black. His body surged with a sevenfold aura. He held a sheathless long sword in his hand and wore a pair of dark green boots. His black eyes emitted a murderous intent.

Zi Chen heard the voice and immediately turned around. At a glance, he saw that the other party was a human like him. They should also be from the War Martial Continent.

Sure enough, as Meng Xi said, when entering the Battlefield of Despair, one had to be careful of everything one saw, including humans.
