Under the night sky, the silhouette of the forest in the distance shocked many of them as it was impossible for plants to grow in a place that was filled with lava.
Si Kongjian had a faint smile on his face as he approached the forest-like area at a constant speed.
The people behind Si Kongjian were getting closer to the forest. They panicked when they saw what was in the forest.
The trees in the forest were all black and looked like crystals. There were no leaves at all. Every tree seemed to have been burned by extreme heat, instantly turning into charcoal, but the branches were still intact. Each of the trees looked extremely ferocious, and the entire forest gave off a strange feeling.
Most of them did not know what was in the forest. Only Lin Huang and a few of them knew what Si Kongjian was trying to do.
"It seems like a lot of people are going to be eliminated this time. The squinty-eyed guy …" Lin Huang did not expect Si Kongjian to bring people to such a place.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this forest? "Yi Yeyu could not help but ask when she heard Lin Huang mumbling to himself.
"You don't know what the Undying Bloodoak is?" Lin Huang asked with a strange expression.
"These trees are the Undying Bloodoak?!" Yi Yeyu's eyes were wide open. Of course, she had heard of such a monster before. However, she did not know how it looked like. "Are they monsters that can extract Life Power from all kinds of living things?"
"Not only that, the Undying Bloodoak will only grow in places with abundant energy. Therefore, the magma beneath the Undying Withered Tree was spiritual magma. If I were to fall into it, I'm afraid I won't get burned like before. "Lin Huang looked at the ground under the Undying Bloodoak.
Normal lava did not contain Life Power. It only had a high temperature and most of the damage could be blocked by the Life Power shield of the equipment. Therefore, the damage caused by lava that was thousands of degrees Celsius to a gold-level person with sufficient Life Power was limited. The most that could be done would be a burn.
However, the spiritual lava was different. The spiritual power contained in the lava could corrode one's Life Power. Moreover, the temperature of the lava was higher than normal lava. It could reach more than 3,000 degrees Celsius. Only a transcendent with a defensive relic could withstand such a high temperature. Even gold-level equipment would be destroyed. Therefore, even if one was a gold-level rank-3 or a complete gold-level, one would die if he were to fall into it.
Looking at the forest, the first thing that came to Lin Huang's mind was not the danger but the evolution of Tyrant. Now that he had found the Spiritual Lava, the conditions for Tyrant's evolution had been met. However, this forest was an obstacle and had to be cleared. If it was not cleared, the Tyrant would sink into the lava and become the forest's nourishment.
Although Tyrant was powerful, there were at least tens of thousands of Undying Bloodoaks in the forest. They were all gold-level and had the ability to absorb Life Power. After all, it was difficult for a tiger to defeat a pack of wolves. It would be dangerous for a Tyrant to evolve in such an environment. Therefore, unlike the rest who were thinking about how to overcome this obstacle, Lin Huang was thinking about how to clear the forest.
"The Undying Bloodoaks aren't afraid of fire. Besides Life Power, they can absorb most of the elemental energy. Only physical attacks can harm them … However, the Undying Bloodoaks are undead. Most of the undead and spirit types are afraid of purifying energy …" As Lin Huang was thinking about it, Si Kongjian had brought everyone into the forest.
Although most of them did not know what was wrong with the trees, seeing that some of them had taken out their weapons, everyone else took out their weapons and became alert.
Even Lin Huang took out a gold-level sword while Yi Yeyu, who was next to him, took out a custom-made gold-level longsword with a black handle.
A custom-made weapon would usually be better than the one that Lin Huang had and it was more suitable for its user. As it was custom-made, the material used would be better. Of course, the price would be more than ten times higher.
However, to Lin Huang, there was no need for a custom-made weapon. He had leveled up too fast. It had only been less than a year since he had leveled up to iron-level. A custom-made weapon would not take more than a few months, so he did not want to waste his time.
Unlike Yi Yeyu and the rest who were royalty, they had to pay attention to their image in front of outsiders. It was normal for them to have a custom-made weapon. On the contrary, people would find it strange if they did not have a custom-made weapon.
"Be careful. Use pure strength and don't attack with Life Power." Lin Huang reminded Yi Yeyu. "This monster is sensitive to energy. If you attack with Life Power, it will not stop."
"I know. Although I've never read the monster encyclopedia, I've heard about this monster." Yi Yeyu nodded.
As they stepped into the forest, the black, withered trees that looked like they had been burned woke up from their slumber. They could smell the aura of Life Power.
Although the Life Power that was emitted from the movement skill under their feet was weak, the Undying Bloodozer could still sense it with its sensitive senses.
"Stop using your movement skills …" Lin Huang noticed that the Undying Bloodoaks were extending their branches towards their feet. He immediately realized the problem and told Yi Yeyu, "Stop using your movement skill …"
The two of them immediately stopped using their movement techniques and switched to running purely with their physical strength to hurry on with their journey.
However, only a minority of them realized that they had to use this method to avoid being detected by the Undying Bloodoaks. Most of them did not know about the Undying Bloodoaks, nor did they know the characteristics of the monster. In order to get out of the forest, they increased the amount of Life Power they inserted.
However, the more they did so, the more intense the Undying Bloodoaks' reaction became.
Many of the branches that were initially probing immediately wrapped around their legs after confirming their target.
Many of them who were attacked by the Undying Bloodoaks immediately swung their weapons and cut the branches off. However, a more serious problem arose. The Undying Bloodoaks' attacks with Life Power attracted more Undying Bloodoaks' attention.
Moreover, the branches of the Undying Bloodoaks seemed to have the ability to regenerate rapidly. Within a second after they were cut off, they grew back and wrapped around their legs again.
Seeing that many of them were attacked, Lin Huang shook his head helplessly. He even glanced at Yi Yeyu who was standing next to him. "This is the consequence of not reading the monster encyclopedia seriously. It's so easy to get through this forest, but these people have caused such trouble."
Yi Yeyu stared at Lin Huang but did not refute him as it was the truth. If everyone knew about the characteristics of the Undying Bloodoaks, they would definitely choose to pass through this area quietly.
Seeing that some of them were tied up by the Undying Bloodoaks' branches and that some of the branches were piercing into their bodies, absorbing their Life Power, Yi Yeyu could not help but ask, "Will they be alright?"
"No, the Undying Bloodoaks can't absorb Life Power quickly. It'll take at least a week to absorb all the Life Power in a creature of the same level. We're less than two days away from the end of the first round of training. By then, someone will definitely save them and send them out. " Lin Huang shook his head. "Moreover, those who are participating in the training are all elites from different organizations. There must be someone watching us secretly."
Although Lin Huang and the rest were running with their physical strength, they were not much slower than those who were using movement skills.
Moreover, as a group of people were attacked one after another, both of them managed to overtake many of the people who were tied up by the Undying Bloodoaks.
