Not only were there brambles and vines, it was a sea of fire.
The brambles and vines were extremely tall, even the giant trees were bound. It was like a wall at the end of one's vision. Although there were gaps between the brambles and vines, these intricate gaps were enough to make one want to retreat.
Lu An did not rest, instead he continued to advance until he reached the front of the brambles and vines. When everything was less than a foot away from him, Lu An's expression became even more solemn.
These obstacles were even higher than they looked from afar. Above was a burning tree necklace, which meant there were no gaps at all. The gaps between the brambles were not large, it looked like a person could barely pass through, but the flames would definitely touch his body. Lu An was not afraid of fire, but the problem was the water tank on his back.
His body could bend forward, but the water tank could not. To pass through the brambles, he had to abandon the water tank. But without water, to the current Lu An, it would be an extremely serious problem. Moreover, Lu An did not know how far the brambles extended. Would he be able to exit quickly after entering, or would he need to advance for a long time, or would he need to advance all the way to the peak.
After two breaths, Lu An made his decision. He did not want to enter the brambles.
Lu An stood still and rested for a moment, then he lifted his head to look at the tree shade above. Suddenly he leapt towards the nearest tree. This tree was 18 feet tall, but Lu An's leap was only 6 feet high. Grabbing onto the tree bark, he quickly reached the tree shade. Above his head was a blazing flame, the burning tree shade emitted a raging inferno, the blazing temperature was intimidating.
The branches and leaves of the tree shade were extremely mysterious, the burning speed of the branches was extremely slow, to the point that the naked eye could not see the burning speed and traces. The leaves were the same, that was why there were so many burning leaves floating in the forest without disappearing. Lu An knew that with his current strength, he could not break these branches, he could only force his way through the dense tree shade.
He could not break the branches, but fortunately these branches were more flexible than expected, he could use force to push them to the side. With the water tank on his back, Lu An carefully crawled into the shade of the tree, which meant that he had completely crawled into the blazing flames.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened in the shade. After twenty breaths, there was a sudden movement at the top of the shade. Then, a figure appeared and climbed to the top of the shade.
The shade of the trees was extremely dense and tough. It was not a problem for Lu An to stand on top.
"Phew …"
After climbing to the top, Lu An exhaled, stood up straight, and looked around. Looking up, one could directly see the boundary of the array formation in the sky. However, when Lu An looked around, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Fortunately, he had chosen to come to the shade of the tree. Otherwise, if he had entered the thistles and thorns, he would not have been able to last until the end.
Many of the thistles and thorns under his feet had rushed out of the shade and were exposed to the sky. This scene spread out for at least a thousand feet. Although it did not reach the top of the mountain, it was probably only a thousand feet away. If he encountered a dead end in the thistles and thorns, or an accident occurred when the burning thistles and thorns collapsed, Lu An would be completely trapped and unable to escape.
Since he had chosen the right path, Lu An did not think too much. It was much better to move forward in the shade of the burning tree than below. At least there was plenty of light here, and it was not as oppressive as in the mountain forest.
Whoosh!
Lu An moved forward, moving quickly in the sea of fire above. His footsteps accurately stepped on the branches or thistles and thorns. He did not miss a single step. His body was light as if he was leaping. Soon, he had moved about a thousand feet.
However, at this moment, something strange suddenly happened.
Whoosh!!!
Suddenly, a gust of wind appeared from the top of the mountain and swept toward the mountain! The wind directly swept through the shade of the burning tree, and immediately, countless leaves and flames were blown up by the wind!
Seeing this scene, Lu An's eyes turned cold, and he immediately stopped. Seeing the howling wind in front of him, he looked at everything without blinking. His sea of consciousness quickly analyzed the attributes of this attack.
Wind, fire, and wood. The fusion of the three attributes.
Lu An had a lot of combat experience. Just from the sound of the wind, he could tell that it was different from ordinary winds. There was a sharp sound in the howling wind. It was obviously a wind blade. The leaves that were blown up also carried a powerful force. In other words, besides the visible fire leaves, Lu An also had to avoid the wind blades hidden in the flames, which were difficult to detect.
If Lu An had perception, it would be easy for him to avoid them. However, the biggest problem was that he had almost no perception. He could only rely on his eyes to see.
There was no doubt that it was very difficult to avoid these fire leaves and wind blades. In addition, the impact of the flaming wind would limit his body's flexibility. However, what made Lu An feel even more troublesome was the water tank behind him.
Carrying the water tank, there was no way he could escape from the waves of fire surging from above. It seemed that this mountain clearly wanted him to give up on the water source.
However, it was impossible for Lu An to give up on the water tank so easily. He immediately moved, wanting to drill back into the shade of the tree again. He wanted to wait for the waves of fire to pass before coming out and moving up the mountain.
However, Lu An's thinking proved to be very naive. Just as he was about to drill into the shade of the tree, he found that the shade under his feet had started to shake. He also found that the shade under the waves of fire in the distance had been swept up to a very large extent. As a result, the thorns were likely to be strangled. It was very difficult for Lu An to block the power of the thorns now. If he was the slightest bit careless, he could be strangled to death by the fluctuating thorns.
In other words, Lu An could only force his way through the shade of the tree.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu An immediately took off the water tank behind him. However, he did not throw it away. Instead, he stuck it in the middle of the thorns under his feet, trying to ensure that the water tank would not be washed away by the waves of fire. By the time Lu An had placed it, the waves of fire were less than 150 meters away from Lu An.
The waves of fire were very high, about 100 meters or so. It was impossible to jump over them. Looking at the waves of fire rushing towards him, Lu An's hands flashed with a cold light. He held two ice daggers in his hands, using them to deal with the attacks that he could not dodge.
It was getting closer and closer.
It was getting closer and closer.
It was here!
Bang!
Lu An took the initiative to leap forward, charging into the waves of fire in front of him. The power of the waves of fire was stronger than Lu An had imagined. Lu An, who was originally leaping forward, was suddenly pushed back. He immediately lost most of his balance, and the chaotic fire leaves and wind blades swept towards Lu An!
Bang!
Lu An used his dagger to block in front of himself, accurately blocking a wind blade. However, the wind blade's power was not small. It was equivalent to a heavy blow to Lu An's arm, which affected his balance even more. Even so, Lu An did not use his Fate Wheel, because the consumption of pure physical movement was much lower than that of a Fate Wheel. If Lu An released a layer of ice to connect himself to the thorns below, it was very likely that he could protect himself. However, when the waves of fire passed, he would not have much strength left, and he might even be on the verge of exhaustion.
After years of fighting and cultivation, Lu An's balance was far better than that of an ordinary Taoist Master. He quickly adjusted his balance in the air, stepped on the branches below, and quickly dodged six fire leaves. After cutting off two fire leaves with his dagger, he leaned back with the force of the waves of fire and dodged two wind blades.
As he leaned back, his body was naturally blown back by the waves of fire. This time, he retreated more than 60 meters.
Bang!
Lu An stepped on the thorns, but the thorns in the waves of fire were swaying back and forth unstably. In order to maintain his balance, Lu An had to move to a branch, but in the process, he was blown back several meters. Bang!
Bang! Bang …
While Lu An kept dodging, he quickly waved his dagger in both hands to block the attacks that he could not avoid. The waves of fire whizzed past the mountain and only stopped after the time it took for an incense stick to burn. When the waves of fire disappeared from around him, even Lu An's legs went soft and he could not help but kneel on the ground.
Bang!
Lu An knelt on a branch, opened his mouth and breathed heavily. Although he hadn't reached the point where he was gasping for breath, he wasn't too far away.
Lu An did not dare to rest. After three breaths, he forced himself to stand up and moved forward in the shade of the tree. He was worried that there would be more waves of fire. With his remaining strength, he did not know how many waves of fire he could withstand.
Lu An was blown back about 300 meters. When he returned to where he started, he found that the water tank was still in the thorns and had not been blown away. This made him very happy.
A few hours had passed since he entered the Yin-Yang Mysterious Realm. Finally, there was something that made him feel at ease.
