The Corpse Treant's intelligence was not high, but it was still a monster with a life of its own. Moreover, it had an extremely strong appetite. Outsiders, whether humans or monsters, would definitely come here for the spiritual items. Even if the Thousand Cherry Blazing Soul Grass was useless to the Corpse Treant, they would not have to worry about not having any prey near these spiritual plants.
Zhu Qi was not stupid. He naturally knew the dangers of searching for the Corpse Treant. However, in this Corpse Hanging Ridge, other than the Corpse Treant, there was also an extremely terrifying Ghost Butterfly Tree. Once attacked, the tree would release a group of Ghost Butterfly, which was extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, the Ghost Butterfly Tree's intelligence was not low and it was extremely vengeful. Once the Ghost Butterfly Tree bore a grudge against him, he would be annoyed by the Ghost Butterfly Tree's vengeance unless he killed the tree completely.
The Corpse Treant had the ability to disguise itself. Normally, it would disguise itself as a Ghost Butterfly Tree. Only when it attacked would it revert to its original form. If Lu Xiaotian and the wild boar demon planned to continuously attack the surrounding trees to see if it was a Corpse Treant, this method would not work at all. They could only be extremely careful while walking in this Corpse Hanging Ridge and try their best to guard against the Corpse Treant's sneak attack.
Fortunately, the Ghost Butterfly Tree absorbed the spiritual power underground and the ubiquitous burial fiend. It did not like the Corpse Treant that liked to eat flesh. If it was not attacked, it would not take the initiative to attack other people or monsters.
Lu Xiaotian and the wild boar demon carefully walked between the mountain ridges. It was even more so when they passed through the forest.
During this time, other monsters appeared in the forest. Along the way, they saw several corpses hanging from tree tops. They also saw several monsters being captured by the Corpse Treant. In addition, they saw a death-courting Woodthorn Bird digging holes in a few trees, trying to find a nest. In the end, when it sucked on a tree, it unexpectedly turned out to be a Ghost Butterfly Tree. The tree trunk exploded and a large number of Ghost Face Woodthorn Butterflies flew out. When the Ghost Face Woodthorn Butterflies flapped their wings, they scattered a large amount of colorless and odorless powder, which directly poisoned the Ghost Face Woodthorn Bird to death.
However, no matter how dangerous Corpse Hanging Ridge was, it was indisputable that there were many spiritual items inside. At least, Lu Xiaotian and the wild boar demon saw a large number of spiritual plants. Many of them were used by Divine Illusionary Realm cultivators to cultivate. There were both body cultivators and ordinary cultivators. As for low-level monsters in the Divine Transformation Realm, there were even more. In order to advance, there was naturally no lack of humans or demons who dared to take risks.
"There are quite a lot of spiritual items there." The Wild Boar Demon's eyes lit up as he pointed at a small cluster of spiritual plants in the distant forest.
"Let's think of a way to get the Thousand Cherry Soulblaze Grass first. It's not a good habit to be fickle." Lu Xiaotian shook his head. He naturally had his own selfish motives for saying this. Compared to the Thousand Cherry Blazing Soul Grass, those spirit plants used by Divine Illusionary Realm cultivators were already of little value to Lu Xiaotian at his current realm. If he had the time, he would have taken it, but now that he had more important things to do, Lu Xiaotian naturally did not want to waste too much energy here.
"Alright, we'll listen to Brother Lu." Zhu Qi nodded. Since Lu Xiaotian was the leader, he naturally didn't have much say in this matter.
"Other than that pair of fire hammers, do you have any other magical treasures?" The demonic fire on the pair of fire hammers was also quite powerful, but it was difficult to use the hammers to deal with the resilient Corpse-Top Trees.
"I also have a metal rod, but it's even worse than that pair of hammers." The Wild Boar Demon scratched his head and laughed.
"Alright, you'll be more alert later. If there's a chance, I'll delay the Corpse-Top Trees. If you have the chance, attack the tree trunk or take the spiritual plants." Lu Xiaotian nodded. Walking in the dense forest with the Wild Boar Demon, if they were to fly in this place, they would definitely be in a difficult situation if they encountered a Demon Bird above and a Corpse-Top Tree below. Lu Xiaotian and Zhu Qi had no choice but to be more careful. They walked to a dusty area where there were many thick and bare yellowish-brown tree roots on the ground. Lu Xiaotian and the Wild Boar Demon were about four to five feet apart.
Suddenly, with a crashing sound, the crown of a large tree directly toppled down. Countless branches lashed down like sharp whips. Lu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows slightly. The Fangtian Halberd appeared in his hand. He drew in the air, and the Fangtian Halberd slashed out arcs that flew away. The lashing branches were all repelled, and the tender ones were directly cut off.
"Good chance." The Wild Boar Demon Pig Qi shouted. While the Corpse-Top Tree was restrained by Lu Xiaotian, the Wild Boar Demon took the opportunity to summon his fire hammers. The fire hammers shot out like meteors and heavily hammered the middle of the Corpse-Top Tree trunk. With a bang, the Corpse-Top Tree trunk shook violently, and a muffled groan of pain came out from within. Lu Xiaotian took the opportunity to cut down many branches.
Zhu Qi took advantage of the situation and used his pair of fire hammers to bombard the tree trunk. The Corpse-Top Tree shook violently and howled in pain. The leaves on the tree trunk scattered, and the trunk directly shrank into the ground. The Corpse-Top Tree that was originally more than ten feet tall shrank into a tree stump that was no more than ten feet tall. However, after it shrank into a tree stump, the bark on the tree trunk became abnormally hard. This was the Corpse-Top Tree's self-protection method. The Corpse-Top Tree's speed was extremely slow. Once it lost, it would not be able to escape from the enemy's pursuit. However, when the Corpse-Top Tree encountered an enemy it could not defeat and suffered a great loss, it would automatically enter a state of suspended animation and become a tree stump like this. The tree stump's defense was extremely high. Forcefully attacking would not yield anything other than a pile of wood shavings. It was a waste of Fa Li. Ordinary people naturally wouldn't do such a strenuous and unrewarding task.
However, the price of the Corpse-Top Tree's suspended animation was not small. When it recovered from suspended animation, its strength would drop greatly. It was not strange for the Corpse-Top Tree in front of them to fall back to the Demigod Stage.
The Wild Boar Demon Pig Qi angrily hammered the tree stump again. After cursing, he continued to move forward with Lu Xiaotian.
With the attitude of not seeking merit, but seeking not to make mistakes, Lu Xiaotian and Zhu Qi moved forward at an extremely slow speed. They stopped a few times to expel the Burial Fiends that had invaded their bodies. However, in this Hanging Corpse Ridge, no matter how careful they were, they would not be able to avoid all the dangers. The Corpse-Top Tree's intelligence was not high, but it did not mean that it did not have any intelligence. After Lu Xiaotian and Zhu Qi had beaten five to six Corpse-Top Trees back to their tree stump state, they continued on a peaceful journey. However, when they encountered another Corpse-Top Tree's attack, Lu Xiaotian and Zhu Qi realized that the surrounding forest seemed to be about to collapse. Those sharp branches covered the sky and surged towards them. Zhu Qi was so scared that he kept praying for the heavens to protect him.
Even with Lu Xiaotian's strength as an ordinary Late Divine Illusionary Stage cultivator, he was unable to break through the encirclement. Later on, he swallowed the primordial spirits of a few Divine Illusionary Stage monsters. Under the enhancement of the Great Law Fusion Technique, he continuously cut off a large number of branches. Only then did he bring the Wild Boar Demon Pig, who was almost certain to die, to obtain three stalks of Thousand Cherry Blazing Soul Grass and open a bloody path.
The Wild Boar Demon Pig Qi had experienced too many battles along the way. After a series of fierce battles, the Wild Boar Demon Pig Qi's blood energy was almost depleted. Lu Xiaotian directly stuffed a pill into Zhu Qi's mouth. He controlled a spider puppet to carry the Wild Boar Demon Pig's cumbersome body. After a lot of effort, they finally managed to break through the encirclement.
