…..
After readjusting themselves, everyone continued on their way.
Following this flat plain, the group headed towards the southeastern corner of the Star Field.
However, Zhu Minglang soon discovered a rather strange phenomenon.
He remembered that when he was patrolling the area, this plain was vast without any mountains or forests. Logically speaking, it should have taken them some time to get out of this rare tranquil area.
But as they walked, a large forest of giant banyan trees appeared in front of them. These trees covered the sky and were ancient and mysterious. From time to time, they would see some colourful Flying Dragon Divine Birds circling above them …
"Let's go in, we have no other choice. The entire Shadowed Scar Star is filled with these ancient forests, it's impossible to go around them," Zhu Minglang said.
Xuan Ge and Wei Huan both nodded.
The ancient banyan forest was much more comfortable than the previous one because the giant banyan trees here were clearly visible. Besides these giant banyan trees, there was significantly less vegetation, making it not as complicated as the previous places.
Moreover, everyone could walk on the ground without worrying about monsters hiding under the thick layer of leaves, nor did they need to be wary of man-eating pythons in the dense canopy of leaves above them.
Sunlight sprinkled down from the fine green leaves of the banyan trees, creating a mottled light and shadow. It was bright but not hot, giving off a very comfortable feeling.
It could be said that this was the first time they had a good impression of a forest since stepping onto Shadowed Scar Star.
It wasn't that there were no fierce beasts in the ancient banyan forest, but the rules here were simple and straightforward. With the overall cultivation of this team, they could deal with them.
The deeper they went, the larger the ancient banyan trees became. Some of the ancient banyan trees even towered like mountains in the vast sea of trees. The tops of these banyan trees even pierced through the clouds, and some of their leaves even glowed with a holy light, exuding an ancient and peaceful beauty, as well as the solemnity of an ancient divine tree!
"Head Venerable Zhu, I'm afraid we'll have to take the dragons back to the Spirit Domain," Xuan Ge said to Zhu Minglang.
"Why?" Zhu Minglang was puzzled.
"This is probably the dragon banyan forest. If your dragon walks through their territory, it will attract unnecessary trouble." Xuan Ge God pointed at the mountain-like banyan trees.
Zhu Minglang looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a huge nest on top of an ancient banyan tree. Inside the nest, there was an Ancient Rainbow Pterodactyl with colorful wings circling around.
Some of the habits of the dragon race were similar to that of many other living creatures. When a dragon circled, it was also patrolling its own territory to prevent other competitors from entering its territory.
Zhu Minglang naturally knew that dragons mostly fought each other. They rarely got along well, unless they were in the Valley of Ten Thousand Dragons.
Putting away his dragon, Zhu Minglang felt that there was no need to provoke the indigenous Dragon Race of Shadowed Scar Star. From the physique of the ancient Rainbow Pterodactyls, Zhu Minglang knew that in the special environment of Shadowed Scar Star, they were likely stronger than ordinary dragons!
"It's so quiet." Lou Qian looked around.
Some ancient species could often be seen in the ancient banyan forest. There were also many strange birds, but strangely, none of them made any sounds.
After stepping into the ancient banyan forest, the restless cries of Shadowed Scar Star had disappeared, not even the cries of insects.
Although they already knew that some powerful ancient dragons lived here, there was no reason for them to be so powerful that no other species dared to prey on them.
Zhu Minglang also noticed this.
Generally speaking, the quieter the surroundings in the forest, the more dangerous it was. This was because there was an extremely powerful predator hiding in the vicinity. The existence of the predator made creatures like birds and insects not dare to make the slightest sound.
In such a quiet environment, everyone subconsciously kept their voices low as they conversed with each other.
"Everyone, stop for a moment," Xuan Ge God seemed to sense something and said to everyone.
Wei Huan nodded and ordered the people of Alioth to stop their vigilance.
The Alioth Fairies controlled their flying swords and hovered them in the air.
The Guardians also began to arrange a sword array. Their swords began to vibrate, and when these sounds overlapped, it sounded like the ringing of bells!
Sword Trembling Bell was one of the sword arrays of the Alioth Guardians and had a very good deterrent effect. Normally, when some powerful ancient species heard the ringing of this sword array, their minds would be shaken.
However, this time, the Sword Trembling Bell Array did not seem to have a warning effect.
"It might be a group of Monster Beasts," Xuan Ge God said.
"Then have Zhu Zun summon a dragon to deter them," Wei Huan said.
Xuan Ge God shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the group of Monster Beasts approaching us has the bloodline of the Dragon Race, and the presence of other powerful dragons in the ancient dragon forest will only anger the predatory ancient dragons."
A mountain could not accommodate two tigers, let alone the more domineering and overbearing dragons.
Ancient Dragons had a strong sense of territory and would not allow other dragons to appear in their predatory areas.
Therefore, in the ancient banyan dragon forest, Zhu Minglang, the dragon master, could not be as crucial as before in driving away the Monster Beasts.
"Do you know what it is?" Wei Huan asked Xuan Ge God.
Xuan Ge God shook his head.
"Weng weng weng ~ ~ ~ ~"
Everyone held their breaths, but the sword hums continued.
Around the banyan forest, there was still plenty of light. Gradually, ancient dragons with dark tattoos appeared. At first glance, these ancient dragons looked like cheetahs, but their claws were stronger and sharper than tigers and leopards. Their dragon horns were very rare and were fan-shaped, with red skin between the horns …
These dark dragons were in groups. They maintained a distance from the group and did not immediately charge, nor did they intend to leave.
"Do they not want to prey on us?" Hua Chong said.
"I don't know what species these ancient dragons are, but they look savage and vicious. However, they don't know what they're capable of......" Qin Yao God said.
The number of dark dragons continued to increase. They were like a pack of wolves in the forest. Family after family appeared. Unknowingly, over a hundred of these dark dragons had appeared around their group!
"Did we accidentally step into the dragon tribe's territory?" Lou Qian began to feel nervous.
"Let's retreat for now, there may be more," Xuan Ge God said.
Originally, everyone was planning on fighting these dark ancient dragons, but seeing more and more of them, they lost their confidence.
These dragons were not weak.
"There are at least three hundred of them. What do we do, fight or retreat?" Linghu Yunying's expression changed.
