"Alright."
Bird Saint nodded and said in a low voice, "This forest is like a giant maze. No matter who it is, they will all end up at the same place."
Wutian said in surprise, "There's such a thing?"
Bird Saint nodded.
Wutian asked, "Where do we end up?"
Bird Saint said, "A river."
"A river?"
Wutian, Han Tian, and the others looked at each other, a trace of suspicion in their eyes.
Bird Saint said, "That's right, it's a river, and a river as black as ink."
The Fire Kirin added, "Not only that, there's a very strange aura around the river that can make people lose their consciousness and walk toward the river without them noticing."
The Nine-Winged Celestial Phoenix said, "That's right. Back then, we, the Blood Mane Bulls, and everyone in the two armies encountered the same situation. If Bird Saint hadn't appeared at the crucial moment to wake us up, we would probably have fallen into the river by now. Also, the aura around the river can prevent the Earth Manifestation Medallion from transmitting its voice. "
The Golden-Winged Great Peng didn't say anything, but it nodded. Its eyes were filled with fear. Clearly, it had suffered a great loss at the river not long ago.
Hearing this, Wutian, Han Tian, and the others felt very puzzled.
Di Tian asked, "The river's water is very dangerous?"
Bird Saint said solemnly, "It's very dangerous. Back then, we saw a Ferocious Beast across the river. Its cultivation was also at the peak of the Great Emperor Realm, but when it entered the river, it was instantly reduced to ashes."
"Even a peak Great Emperor couldn't escape?"
Wutian and the others looked at each other. Not only could it prevent the Earth Manifestation Medallion from transmitting its voice and make people lose their consciousness, but it also had such a terrifying demonic aura. Just what kind of secret was that river hiding?
At the same time, they were very interested in that river.
Suddenly, Wutian frowned and muttered, "Why do I feel like I've missed something?"
"Missed something?"
Han Tian and the others were puzzled.
"I know, it's the source of all evil and the dead spirit. Why haven't I seen them?"
Wutian looked at the Bird Saint, the Fire Kirin, and the other Desolate Beasts with a questioning look in his eyes.
"They didn't come back?"
However, to Wutian's surprise, Bird Saint gave such a reply.
Hearing Bird Saint's question, Wutian's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
Seeing this, even without Wutian's explanation, Han Tian and the others, as well as the Bird Saint and the other beasts, all realized that the situation was not good.
Wutian clenched his fists and said, "Quickly bring us to that river."
Bird Saint asked, "What about the mysterious person in the dark?"
Wutian said in a deep voice, "We don't have time to pay attention to him now."
The Bird Saint nodded. His eyes flashed with a fierce light as he looked around. A terrifying divine power gushed out of his body, sweeping up the humans and beasts as he charged towards the east.
Just as Wutian and the others disappeared, a short black shadow appeared out of thin air. After letting out a ferocious low laugh, it instantly disappeared without a trace.
It was a pity that Wutian and the rest did not see this scene.
In a dense forest, Bird Saint warned, "Wutian, Di Tian, pay close attention. See if you can discover anything strange about this primordial forest."
The two of them nodded and paid close attention to their surroundings.
However, after several dozen breaths, all they could see was the ancient trees and vines. There was nothing else in sight.
However, at this moment, the two of them seemed to catch a glimpse of the outline of a long river a thousand feet away.
The reason they said it seemed was because the outline of the river had vanished in the next moment, so they could not be sure if they had really seen it.
Just as the two of them were looking at each other in deep confusion, a mysterious aura suddenly swept over.
Wutian and the others immediately paused. Their eyes glazed over as they landed on the ground and walked forward step by step.
At this moment, they were completely like mindless walking corpses.
Moreover, there seemed to be a winding river 300 meters in front of them. The river was only a little over 30 meters wide, and both ends extended into the depths of the dense forest. The end of the river couldn't be seen. The river water was pitch black like ink, and ripples arose in all directions. Under the sunlight, it reflected a dark red glow, and it looked extremely evil!
Seeing that the humans and beasts were only three hundred feet away from the river, the Bird Saint suddenly came to his senses. When he saw the Fire Kirin and Wutian's appearances, his pupils constricted. He immediately soared into the air and viciously knocked on their heads.
"Ouch! Which bastard hit me?"
A cry of pain immediately rang out. It was the Golden-winged Great Peng.
"What the hell are you yelling for?"
The Bird Saint unhappily said.
"Ugh!"
The Golden-winged Great Peng was stunned. When he saw the black river in front of him, he immediately understood what was going on.
Wutian's group, the Nine-Winged Phoenix, and the Fire Kirin also woke up one after another.
However, when they saw the black river not far in front of them, the Fire Kirin and the others were a little better. After all, they had experienced this before. However, it was the first time Wutian's group had encountered something like this. Their eyes were filled with shock.
During the entire process, they did not feel anything at all. When they arrived at the bank of the river, if the Bird Saint had not knocked them awake at the critical moment, they might have really walked into the river unknowingly.
Thinking of the consequences of entering the river, the four of them could not help but break out in cold sweat!
"Wutian, Di Tian, did you notice anything earlier?"
The Bird Saint asked. His eyes were scanning the river, full of vigilance.
Di Tian: "I saw the outline of a river earlier, but it suddenly disappeared. Just as I was about to ask Wutian, I suddenly felt an aura rush over, and then I don't know anything else."
Wutian: "My situation is the same as Di Tian's."
As he spoke, he carefully sensed the mysterious aura around him. He quickly discovered that this mysterious aura could confuse a person's mind, causing them to lose consciousness without realizing it.
This was the first time he had encountered such an aura, and no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not figure out what had caused it.
"The outline of the river disappeared in a flash, and both Wutian and I saw it. Could it be …"
Just as Wutian was pondering the origin of the mysterious aura, Di Tian's voice suddenly rang out. He seemed to have guessed something, but he also seemed to be uncertain. Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped, his brows tightly knitted together.
Wutian raised his head and asked in confusion, "What are you trying to say?"
Di Tian sternly said, "I suspect that there is nothing wrong with this primordial forest. The true problem lies in this black river."
"What do you mean?"
Wutian was bewildered.
Di Tian swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He glanced at the river in front of him and said, "Just in case, let's withdraw from the range of the aura first."
Wutian nodded.
Although he was very worried about the source of all evil and the dead spirit, this place was simply too strange, and it was not advisable to stay for long.
Thus, the four people and four beasts retreated.
However, when they retreated a hundred feet, the black river that was clearly in front of them disappeared!
Seeing this scene, Wutian and the others felt their scalps go numb.
Di Tian's pupils shrank, and he said with unprecedented seriousness, "It seems that my guess was right. There is nothing wrong with this primordial forest. It is this black river that is moving on its own!"
"How is that possible?"
Wutian and the others could not help but exclaim, their eyes filled with disbelief.
