A huge ancient tree appeared in Luo Hao's sight. It was so tall that it would take ten people to encircle it. Its branches and leaves covered the sky.
Luo Hao suddenly stopped and let go of Mu Dieyu. He looked at the ancient tree solemnly, as if he was about to make a big decision.
Zhao Xin, Di Yalan, and Hu Long came to the front of this ancient tree, and their faces changed slightly, as if they all knew that there was something unusual about this place.
Shi Yan frowned and stared at the huge Skygazing Tree in silence.
Luo Hao took a deep breath, turned to the others, and said in a low voice, "There are few demon beasts on the right side of the Skygazing Tree. Most of the trade caravans and warriors will choose this road when they pass through the Dark Forest. That's because this road is very safe. Even if we encounter any Demonic Beasts, they are usually only Level 1 or Level 2 Demonic Beasts. Moreover, this road is relatively close to the Merchant Union, only a ten-day journey. "
Zhao Xin and the other two nodded slightly. Obviously, they all knew the situation.
After a pause, Luo Hao said seriously, "But the road on the left side of the Skygazing Tree is completely different! Not only is it much longer, but there are also many demon beasts, warriors, and mercenaries who don't care about their lives. Anyone who dares to walk down this path is not a good person. In a long period of crisis, those people have always acted without restraint. If we continue to walk down this path, not only do we have to be careful of demon beasts, but we also have to be careful of those crazy warriors and mercenaries. Especially since we have two beautiful girls in our team … "
"Humph! Whoever dares to do anything to me, I will cut off all his thoughts! "Dijaran made a cutting gesture in the air with her left hand, with cold light shining in her beautiful eyes.
"Uncle Luo, what do you mean?" Zhao Xin asked carefully.
"If we go down the safe road on the right side, the people from the Dark World will catch up with us again in one day at most. Then it will be a hard fight." Luo Hao's face darkened, and he said helplessly, "Next time, I don't know if we can be so lucky. What's more, they may have reinforcements coming. If we meet them again, I'm afraid we'll be in danger …"
"What about the left side?" Hu Long said.
"Demonic beasts run amok on the left. Vicious warriors and mercenaries often appear there. If we go to the left, we will have to face the monsters and more likely to be attacked by those warriors who are about to go crazy under the pressure. However, the people from the Dark World will also encounter the crisis we are going to face. The Dark World has a bad reputation. Maybe not many people in the Fire Empire dare to go against the Dark World, but there must be many people who want to make trouble for them. If they encounter a high-level monster, they may all be wiped out … "
Luo Hao said slowly. After explaining the situation, he expressed his opinion, "If we go to the right side, we won't be attacked by monsters and other warriors, but we will have to face the Dark World. If we go to the left side, we will be attacked by monsters and other warriors, but the Dark World may be in a worse situation than us. For us, the left side may have a better chance to escape."
"Let's go to the left!" Mu Dieyu made a firm decision.
"Alright." Luo Hao nodded immediately. He looked at Shi Yan for the last time and said, "Little brother, it's not too late for you to leave now. If you don't leave now … it will be too late for you to leave."
"I will go with you." ShiYan had already made up his mind. He had a crazy side to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent ten years immersed in extreme sports, which was a game of death.
When Luo Hao talked about the crisis on the left side, he couldn't help getting excited.
Nodding, Luo Hao waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's go. From now on, everyone, be extra careful!"
…
One hour later.
Mo Chaoge and the warriors of the Mo family also stopped in front of the Skygazing Tree.
"Second Uncle, which way will they choose?" Mo Yanyu asked.
"I will chase them from the right side. If I don't come back in two hours, you follow me. If I don't catch up with them in two hours, they will probably go to the left side." Mo Chaoge thought for a while, told the others to wait here, and flew to the left side alone.
One and a half hours later, Mo Chaoge came back with a gloomy face, "I didn't even see a shadow, and they dared to go to the left side. All of you better be careful! The left side is full of demon beasts and lunatics. Don't be careless. Remember, don't make enemies with those warriors and mercenaries. Those who dare to ask for money from demon beasts are all crazy. They are not afraid of death. Don't mess with them. "
"Yes!"
"Let's go!"
…
Three Saber-toothed Rhinos were walking slowly beside the stream. Saber-toothed Rhinos were Level 3 demon beasts. Their backs were shining with silver light, their mouths were sharp like swords, and their fist-sized brown eyes were full of ferocious light. Their skin was covered with hard mud, which was a natural armor that couldn't even be cut by ordinary swords and sabers.
The three Saber-toothed Rhinos drank from the stream from time to time, and looked around fiercely, as if they were looking for prey.
In the bushes not far from the three Saber-toothed Rhinos, Luo Hao made a gesture, signaling the others to be quiet.
When the three Saber-toothed Rhinos slowly walked away, Luo Hao let out a sigh of relief and said, "Saber-toothed Rhinos are Level 3 demon beasts, equivalent to warriors of the Human Realm. They move fast and their mouths are extremely sharp. Once a low-level warrior is hit by them, he will either die or be disabled!"
ShiYan's cold and gloomy eyes gazed at the slowly disappearing Saber-toothed Rhinoceros, revealing an expression of interest.
"Our goal this time is to protect Die, not to kill the demon beasts here. I hope you all remember that, and don't cause unnecessary trouble." Luo Hao seemed to have seen through Shi Yan's thoughts, and reminded him casually.
Shi Yan grinned and nodded to show that he understood.
"Let's go. We should be careful here. Don't be in a hurry, and pay more attention to the surrounding situation. Try to avoid running into demon beasts and warriors, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble." Luo Hao reminded again, and then led the way forward.
…
Night fell quietly.
Beside a big tree with thick branches and leaves by the stream, Zhao Xin and the other two spread out, vigilantly watching the surroundings to make sure that no demon beasts would suddenly appear.
Shi Yan sat upright in the wetland, his face solemn.
The desire to kill was entangled in his heart like a cloud of smoke, giving him an urge to vent. The Essence Qi he had taken from the two Dark Star messengers had reached the critical moment of purification. He was a little impatient.
Luo Hao stood beside Mu Dieyu all the time, frowning and staring at Shi Yan, afraid that Shi Yan would do something abnormal.
Mu Yu Die stared at Shi Yan for a while with an indifferent look on her face. Seeing that Shi Yan's face was getting more and more ferocious, she slowly sat down with her legs crossed, put the zither on her beautiful legs, and started playing.
As the sound of the zither started, the violent thoughts in Shi Yan's heart seemed to be dissolved by a cool power, and slowly faded from the bottom of his heart.
Holding his breath and concentrating, Shi Yan silently operated his Profound Qi, and started the Circulatory Cycle Cultivation.
An hour later, a warm flow gushed out from all of his meridians.
Shi Yan suddenly trembled.
ShiYan suddenly felt that his body was extremely hungry and thirsty. This time, the strange power that gushed out from his meridians was absorbed by his muscle cells and bones before it could flow into the Profound Qi in his lower abdomen. The warm current flowed into his muscles and bones and took root in his flesh and bones.
In just a few breaths, the strange warm flow gushing out from his meridians spread to all of his muscles and bones, which surprised him.
With a thought, Shi Yan tried to feel the warm flow in his muscles and bones.
"Boom!"
With a roar in his head, the next moment, Shi Yan suddenly found that his body had a wonderful change.
His face turned pale with fright, and he suddenly opened his eyes. To his horror, he discovered that his exposed arm was slowly turning into a stone gray color.
Petrification!
Shi Yan was shocked, and hurriedly stopped thinking about the abnormality of his body, and withdrew his mind from his body.
With a change of his mind, his "petrified" body quickly returned to normal, and became a normal skin and flesh color again.
Quietly looking forward, Shi Yan found that Luo Hao and Mu Dieyu were whispering behind a tree not far away, and did not notice him.
Relieved, Shi Yan's eyes flashed with joy, and he laughed in his heart.
The sign of "petrification" was clearly the awakening of the Shi family's "Petrification Martial Spirit"!
This Martial Spirit was unique to the Shi family. With the improvement of the realm, this "Petrification Martial Spirit" would also become more and more powerful, and eventually, it could even be invulnerable to weapons, and not afraid of the violent Profound Qi.
At first, Shi Yan thought that this guy did not have this Martial Spirit, but he did not expect that after reaching the Nascent Realm, this Martial Spirit would suddenly awaken, which made him ecstatic.
This "Petrification" Martial Spirit was very useful in battles. After "petrification", his body would be as hard as stone, but it would not affect his agility, which was enough to improve his strength.
Besides "Petrification", he had already confirmed that his body had a self-recovery "Immortal Martial Spirit". These two Martial Spirits complemented each other, and if he cultivated them to the extreme, his body would reach a magical level that even he could not imagine.
"That's not right!" ShiYan knitted his eyebrows and pondered, "Doesn't the Martial Spirit show up not long after the birth of the child? I'm already seventeen years old, and I can still awaken my Martial Spirit, isn't it too strange? Is it related to the strange energy overflowing from my meridians? "
Vaguely, he realized that the awakening of his two Martial Spirits, Petrification and Immortal Martial Spirits, might be related to the blood in the blood pool, and the changes in his meridians.
Shi Yan felt that the strange warm flow overflowing from his meridians seemed to be able to stimulate the "Martial Spirit" in the human body. Thinking of this possibility, he felt excited, and almost wanted to shout out loud to express his inner excitement.
"Martial Spirits" were inborn, and generally, they would only gradually strengthen as the realm increased. Apart from this, there was almost no other way to strengthen "Martial Spirits".
"Martial Spirits" was the talent that warriors were most proud of, and it was also the key to determining a warrior's strength. Warriors trained hard to achieve breakthroughs, and they also wanted to strengthen their "Martial Spirits".
Even if the realm increased, the growth of "Martial Spirits" was limited, and there were all kinds of restrictions.
In the Grace Mainland, even the legendary god-level alchemists could barely make elixirs that were effective for common "Martial Spirits". Those elixirs could be said to be the rarest and most precious things in the Grace Mainland, and they only existed in the legends.
However, even those elixirs could only strengthen "Martial Spirits" to a limited extent. "Martial Spirits" were talents, and it could not be easily changed.
But the strange warm flow overflowing from Shi Yan's meridians seemed to violate the rules of nature, as if it could really catalyze "Martial Spirits" and strengthen this talent!
