Because they were very careful along the way, Xiao Chen and Tian Yue's speed wasn't fast. It could even be said that they were very slow.
However, what was a little strange was that after walking for about four hours, the two didn't encounter any danger. Slowly, Tian Yue relaxed a little. However, Xiao Chen didn't agree with this and even reminded her.
"Don't relax, be careful."
Nothing happened. This wasn't good news for Xiao Chen. One must know that this Sky Above Heavens had buried many generations of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of Nine Heavens.
Would this Sky Above Heavens be ordinary if it could make so many Holy Sons and Holy Daughters fall here? Obviously not. Therefore, the peace along the way didn't mean safety in Xiao Chen's opinion. On the contrary, this kind of peace gave people a strange feeling all the time.
However, in the face of Xiao Chen's slightly reprimanding reminder, Tian Yue did not take it to heart. She curled her lips and said, "Hmph, what danger is there? We have been walking for almost four hours and nothing has happened. Moreover, this is only the First Heaven, so it should be the simplest. I think we should not waste our energy here. You know, there are nine Heavens above the Heavens, and the higher you go, the more difficult it is."
The little girl wasn't convinced. She felt that Xiao Chen was a little too cautious and sensitive.
However, Xiao Chen completely scoffed at this. He was getting more and more familiar with Tian Yue. Xiao Chen also knew that this girl's growth process could be described as smooth sailing.
First of all, her background wasn't bad. She could already be considered as one of the top in the Sky Race. Secondly, she had shown excellent talent since she was young. Then, she entered Nine Heavens early and received the vigorous training of Nine Heavens. In the end, she became the Holy Daughter of Nine Heavens. Until now, she was even the first Holy Daughter of Nine Heavens.
Her growth experience could be said to be smooth sailing. This also meant that Tian Yue actually didn't experience any setbacks.
On the other hand, Xiao Chen was able to reach this step today because Xiao Chen had experienced countless hardships. Therefore, in terms of survival skills, Xiao Chen was definitely several streets ahead of Tian Yue. This had nothing to do with strength, but came from experience and a sense of danger.
It was precisely because he had experienced so many life and death crises that Xiao Chen had an almost instinctive intuition towards the approaching danger. After entering the first Sky, Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. Therefore, even though nothing happened along the way, Xiao Chen still didn't relax his vigilance.
The little girl didn't believe him, so Xiao Chen didn't say anything else. He knew very well that it was almost impossible to make Tianyue listen to him. The girl was arrogant, and she was the first Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens. Xiao Chen naturally couldn't order her around.
. Tian Yue thought that everything was fine and secretly relaxed. On the other hand, Xiao Chen's nerves were stretched taut as he vigilantly observed the surroundings for any signs of trouble.
About half an hour later, Tian Yue, who had been following behind Xiao Chen and had completely relaxed, suddenly let out a shriek.
Upon hearing Tian Yue's shriek, Xiao Chen turned around immediately and saw a black vine wrapped tightly around Tian Yue's ankle, pulling her out of danger into the dense forest behind.
It was a very strange attack. Just as Xiao Chen was focusing all his attention on Tian Yue, he heard Tian Yue, who had been struggling non-stop, suddenly shout.
"Xiao Chen, be careful. Behind you …"
Tian Yue reminded him, but it was too late. A similar vine climbed up Xiao Chen's neck at lightning speed and strangled Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen and Tian Yue were both strangled by the strange vines. However, Xiao Chen and Tian Yue were no ordinary people. Very quickly, the two of them attacked at the same time. Xiao Chen was surrounded by sword aura, and in an instant, the vines that were strangling his neck were cut apart.
As for Tian Yue, her body was enveloped in a white glow. Under the glow, the vine seemed to have dissolved and disappeared without a trace.
It didn't take much effort for the two of them to break free from the vines. However, this was clearly just the beginning. Just as the two of them broke free, even more vines attacked them from all directions.
These vines seemed to have a life of their own as they attacked them from all directions. Upon seeing this, Xiao Sheng's Dustless Sword instantly appeared in his hand.
With the Dustless Sword in hand, he slashed out fiercely and displayed the Square Sky Sword Shadow. In an instant, the sky was filled with sword shadows. The surrounding vines, trees, and weeds were all razed to the ground by the countless sword aura.
The dense forest that blocked their line of sight was sliced apart by Xiao Chen's sword. At the same time, the instigator of all this finally appeared before Xiao Chen and Tian Yue.
Without the obstruction of the dense forest, Xiao Chen and Ye Zichen were able to see more than ten black trees more than ten meters tall surrounding the two of them at some point in time.
Not only could these black trees move, but their branches were also the black vines that trapped them earlier. At this moment, they were constantly swaying, trying to attack them.
Looking at these black trees, Xiao Chen frowned slightly because he recognized the identity of these black trees.
Ever since he knew about the vastness of the North Star Realm, Xiao Chen had read a lot of strange books. These books had nothing to do with cultivation. Instead, they introduced the various interesting stories of the North Star Realm, as well as the human geography.
The main reason he read these books was to increase his knowledge. He didn't expect that it would really come in handy today.
Xiao Chen had once seen an introduction about these black trees in a book. He frowned slightly and spoke as if he was talking to himself.
"Ancient Ghost Withered Vine …"
These black trees were the Ancient Ghost Withered Vine. It was said that the Ancient Ghost Withered Vine was a ferocious creature in the North Star Realm during the ancient times.
Although it was a plant, the Ancient Ghost Withered Vine could move. Moreover, its spiritual intelligence was low and its actions were driven by instinct.
It was said that the Ancient Ghost Withered Vine had a huge appetite and was never picky about food. Regardless of whether it was the Human Race, the Heavenly Race, or the Beast Race, as long as it was meat, the Ancient Ghost Withered Vine would eat it.
It was due to this reason that in the ancient times, as long as there were Ancient Ghost Withered Vines, there would definitely be no other living creatures. This was because with the Ancient Ghost Withered Vine's training, it would quickly devour all living creatures in the surroundings, leaving nothing behind.
Xiao Chen recognized the Ancient Ghost Withered Vine. On the other side, Tian Yue naturally also recognized the Ancient Ghost Withered Vine. At this moment, she exclaimed in surprise.
"Weren't the Ancient Ghost Withered Vines extinct a long time ago? How could it be … "
