Dao Wuliang seemed to be very excited when he heard that he was going to leave the Southern Region with Su Fang. It turned out that no one in the Fox Clan was allowed to leave the Southern Region as they had many enemies. Without the protection of Dao Zhen's mother, fox demons would often be hunted outside.
"The treasure of our Fox Clan. When grandmother was still in the Crimson Nimbus Continent, a large number of human experts surrounded and killed her. In order to escape, she had to give up the treasure. Now, I don't know which sect it is in, but that treasure has the power to make grandmother become an immortal."
In the cave, when Su Fang mentioned that they were going to the Crimson Nimbus Continent, Dao Wuliang revealed some secrets about the Fox Clan in the Crimson Nimbus Continent.
Su Fang rested in the Hidden Forest for a few days, and used this time to speed up his cultivation. He had already reached the fifth level of the Vast Core Realm. To break through to the sixth level, he would need a treasure that contained a fierce energy. It had to be a core embryo or the pearl of a demon beast that was burned by a Chaos Saint.
On this day, Su Fang and Xiao Mei 'er left the Hidden Forest under Dao Wuliang's lead, and officially approached the Dark Forest.
"Our Demon Clan is declining day by day, but the Human Clan is prospering. If we can find that treasure, mother can find a way to find where the Fox Clan used to be."
In the depths of the Hidden Forest, within the layers of formations, a figure stared at the departing figure. "The Celestial Sealing Sect has proclaimed themselves as the Venerated Immortal Sect. They are the orthodox Celestial Race and control the Human Race. This human called Su Fang seems to have a great connection with my Demon Race. He might be able to change the current situation of my Demon Race in the Zhuo Tian World."
In less than two days …
At the end of the Southern Region was the Boundless Forest that was shrouded in haze all day long. Other than the forest, there was only haze, and no mountains could be seen. The forest was taller than any mountain range, and the fog that reached the Ninth Heaven seemed to have divided the Dark Forest into two.
In front of the haze, Dao Wuliang was the first to land, followed by Su Fang and Xiao Mei 'er. This was the first time they saw the Dark Forest. Other than Dao Wuliang, Su Fang and Xiao Mei' er were surprised that such a place existed.
Dao Wuliang said, "No one knows the origin of the Dark Forest. Green Feather King and my mother have lived for more than ten thousand years. The Dark Forest existed then, and divided the Crimson Nimbus Continent into two."
Su Fang stared at it for a while: "Do you remember the devil qi we encountered last time near the Red Palm Volcano? It seems to be called One-horned Devil Venerable, and that mysterious young man, didn't they come from the Dark Forest? This means that although the Dark Forest is a forbidden area, there is someone controlling everything here."
............... and....................................................................................................................................................................
................. You are a peerless senior. "
"Hehe, of course. My mother's methods are heaven-defying. Even in the Crimson Nimbus Continent, she stands at the peak." Dao Wuliang laughed proudly. "The Dark Forest is a treasure trove of resources for the Southern Border. Many cultivators come here to collect treasures. So we'll meet cultivators here. It's best not to fight with them. Otherwise, we'll attract a terrifying existence like the One-Horned Devil."
Dao Wuliang explained everything he knew. Then, he led the way. The three of them entered the most mysterious place in the Crimson Nimbus Continent.
Dark Forest.
As soon as they entered the forest, the thick fog seemed to put clothes on the three of them. These clothes seemed to be connected to the entire forest. They couldn't take them off.
"So much demonic Qi!"
Su Fang took a few breaths of the Dark Forest's aura. He didn't know how many powerful Big Goblin there were in the Dark Forest. Of course, other than demonic Qi, there were also other auras.
The Dark Forest's spiritual Qi was ten times more abundant than the Southern Border's. This was a true spirit vein. Who knew how many spirit stones and spiritual items were hidden here to be able to gather in such a state.
If one could cultivate here for a long time, it would be difficult to become an expert.
"This is Cold Core Grass. It's a very rare spirit grass."
The more they walked, the more they lost their sense of direction.
Xiao Mei 'er suddenly squatted to the left. She arrived under a rock. There were three spirit grasses emitting a faint spiritual light.
She only had eyes for spirit grasses. She even impolitely assigned tasks to Su Fang and Dao Wuliang. "I'm an inheritor of the Alchemy Dao. If I see spirit grasses that can refine pills, I won't let them go. Help me keep an eye on them."
Since they didn't know when they would be able to leave the Dark Forest, Su Fang and Dao Wuliang searched for all kinds of spirit grasses along the way.
"It seems we've entered a new formation forest."
A day later, the three of them passed by a small stream. But when they turned around, the stream actually twisted and disappeared.
Dao Wuliang gestured for them to continue forward. "It's fine. I can still sense the aura left behind by Grandmother. The general direction shouldn't be wrong."
Xiao Mei 'er suddenly pointed to the ground in front of them. There were some blue lights. She shouted excitedly, "Blue Millet Grass! So many! Quickly gather them!"
"Don't gather them yet!"
Dao Wuliang suddenly stopped her. He and Su Fang looked carefully at the spirit grasses. Suddenly, they saw some insects on the leaves of the spirit grasses.
Su Fang was shocked. "These are … these are Gu insects!"
Dao Wuliang gestured for everyone to be careful. "They are indeed Gu insects. There are many people in the Southern Border who cultivate Gu insects. Their cultivation methods are also different. There are blood cultivators, corpse cultivators, and even medicinal cultivators. These Gu insects are medicinal cultivators. They place them on spirit grasses and absorb the medicinal energy of the spirit grasses day and night.
At the same time, the three of them felt a cold wind blow over. At the same time, a cold male voice laughed. "Haha, you dare trespass into my territory?!"
Su Fang looked around cautiously. "We just accidentally trespassed into your territory."
That person was mysterious and unfathomable: "Seeing that you did not destroy or snatch my medicine Gu, I will let you off today. Take a detour, this forest is my territory, if you dare to have any thoughts, I will definitely use the three of you to refine Gu."
Dao Wuliang immediately brought the two of them to the right side of the forest. The three of them were secretly on guard against the person who cultivated medicinal Gu.
Cultivators who could travel in the Dark Forest were at least at the peak of the Vast Core Realm. Some of them were naturally at the Golden Core Realm.
And in the next few days, they met another expert who cultivated Corpse Gu using demonic beast corpses.
Corpse Gu, if successfully refined from demonic beasts, could be used to control powerful demonic beasts in the future. Many cultivators wanted to control demonic beasts for cultivation or to increase their strength.
"Hehe, this is the mark left behind by my Grandmother!"
Deep in the forest
The three of them were trembling with fear along the way. Dao Wuliang suddenly came under a towering tree. On the bark of the tree, there was a special leaf carving that looked like a claw print. Dao Wuliang explained, "It will probably take a few more days to pass through the Dark Forest!"
They continued to move forward. It seemed like they were about to pass through the Dark Forest and enter the Crimson Firmament Continent. The three of them began to relax.
At this time, the three of them unknowingly entered a forest with stone statues.
It was still foggy, and the haze did not dissipate. The stone statues were all human statues. They were as tall as a human and looked very lifelike. They were like the guards of this forest.
"Why do I feel like these stone statues are alive?"
After passing by more stone statues, they could not help but be curious about them. Xiao Mei 'er sized up a female stone statue. Her silhouette, figure, and clothes were all very exquisite.
When she passed by, the female stone statue's eyes actually shook slightly. There was a faint demonic light inside, but the three of them did not notice it.
Gradually, they came to the center of the stone statues. Dao Wuliang, the Big Goblin, actually had a layer of sweat on his forehead. "Why do I feel like someone is watching us?"
"I have the same feeling!"
Su Fang's heart was also about to stop. He kept feeling that these stone statues were not simple.
"Ah!"
Xiao Mei 'er suddenly screamed.
Su Fang and Dao Wuliang turned to look. Xiao Mei 'er was actually being held by a female stone statue. Furthermore, a faint demonic Qi was surging out of the statue's arm.
"As expected, there's something strange." Su Fang immediately reacted. He grabbed a ray of Sword Qi and slashed it at the statue's arm. His other hand held Xiao Mei 'er.
Clang!
The Sword Qi was unstoppable as it chopped off the statue's arm. It also pulled Xiao Mei 'er back. However, the scene that appeared after the arm was chopped off caused the three of them to feel a chill in their hearts.
Drip, drip, drip.
The statue's arm was actually dripping with blood. And upon closer inspection, the stone statue's arm was actually flesh and blood. Living flesh and blood.
Dao Wuliang shouted, "Let's get out of here!"
Swish, swish, swish!
But before the three of them could even take a step, the surrounding stone statues actually began to move. They were like living people, surrounding the three of them.
Tut, tut
Just as they were about to fly away from this forest, each of the stone statues formed a strange hand seal.
The ground suddenly sank, turning into a black whirlpool. It should be a black quagmire. The three of them were sucked into the black whirlpool.
"A formation! We've encountered a formation!" Dao Wuliang struggled, but he was unable to move.
As for Su Fang, he was hugging Xiao Mei 'er. As a woman, his face had long since turned pale from fright. He really didn't know what would happen in the darkness.
Suddenly, the three of them found themselves in a silent world.
The black whirlpool also disappeared in the blink of an eye. Looking around, it was a terrifying space filled with countless tree roots and white bones. It was like a tomb.
In front of them was a very strange stone statue.
It was unknown whether that stone statue was a human or a demon. From the looks of it, it was most likely a human. However, it had a single horn on its head, a sharp tooth at each corner of its mouth, and a pair of vertical eyes.
Other than that strange and frightening appearance, that monstrous stone statue also emitted a faint black Qi.
Su Fang protected Xiao Mei 'er and looked at Dao Wuliang. "This … this is demonic Qi!"
Dao Wuliang also swallowed his saliva. "It is indeed demonic Qi. It's the same demonic Qi that we encountered at the Red Palm Volcano. There are indeed formidable martial artists of the demonic dao in this Dark Forest!"
"Keke!"
The demon statue suddenly let out a hoarse laugh. "So it's an acquaintance. An acquaintance!"
"An acquaintance!" The two of them were very surprised.
The demon statue said in a terrifying voice, "Have you two forgotten that I said that I won't let you go? How dare you fight with me!"
"Could it be …"
The two of them couldn't help but look at each other. At this moment, they were sure that this demon statue in front of them was the demon they encountered at the Red Palm Volcano, the Single-Horned Demon Supremacy.
It couldn't be so coincidental, right?
Su Fang and Dao Wuliang couldn't help but tremble. The world was so big. Why did they have to encounter two demons consecutively? And this time, it was obvious that they had fallen into the Single-Horned Demon Supremacy's trap.
The two of them started to retreat. Xiao Mei 'er stuck close to Su Fang. She was so scared that her face turned pale. It was probably her first time seeing a demon.
