nWith a glance, all he could see were trees that were hundreds of feet tall.

nMoreover, these trees were strangely shaped. Some of them rose straight into the sky, while others were entangled in the dense forest.

nSu Yi, who had just stabilized his senses, looked around and saw that he had landed on a tree.

nHe glanced around and realized that there were almost no cultivators nearby, so he had a rough idea.

nThe ruins would randomly separate the cultivators.

n“I just don’t know where I am right now.”

nHe looked at the trees that blocked out the sun and frowned. There was almost no sunlight here, so he could not determine the direction.

nMoreover, it was another matter of whether he could use sunlight in the ruins to determine his direction.

nJust as he was about to find a place to search for the direction, the heavenly sound rang in his mind.

nHint: You have entered the ruins, the first heaven trial of the Triple Heaven Trial, the forest of withering swamp.

n

n

nHint: the second heaven trial will be opened after clearing the first heaven trial.

nSeeing this, Su Yi was slightly stunned, but he immediately understood.

nThis ruins was very divided into three parts, and right now, he was in the first part. He would still have to wait for ten days before the second part would be open.

nIn this way, he was not worried that some lucky people would get the opportunity at the end.

nWhen he thought of this, he looked at the endless sea of trees and muttered to himself, “the forest of withered swamp, huh. It really doesn’t live up to its name.”

nThis lively forest did not have the look of a withered swamp.

nAfter a moment, he moved. He did not come here to enjoy the scenery. He ran quickly in one direction, searching for the opportunity that belonged to him.

n…

nOn the other side of the withered swamp forest.

nNie Ling and Li Mengxi miraculously appeared together.

nAt this moment, they were back-to-back, looking at the demon beasts that were surrounding them. A message appeared in their eyes.

nDemon beast: Withered tree demon

nBloodline: normal

nRealm: Early foundation establishment stage

nThe roots of these tree demons kept changing and sticking into the ground to move their bodies.

nTheir bodies were just like their names, a twisted and strange withered tree.

nThe vines on the withered branches swayed, and there was an ugly face on the tree trunk.

nFrom this, it could be seen that this tree demon was a different kind of creature, and not a true tree spirit…

nMoreover, the worst part was that the huge mouth of these withered tree demons would emit a sound that would cause one’s hair to stand on end.

n“Creak creak, creak creak creak…”

nThis kind of sound would cause one’s entire body to have goosebumps, not to mention that with their strange appearance, it was somewhat terrifying.

n…

nSu Yi, who was walking through the forest, quickly encountered this kind of demon beast.

nHowever, after learning about the attributes of this kind of demon beast, two or three sword fingers would instantly kill these tree demons.

nThis was because they had a fatal flaw, which was that their movement speed was too slow.

nMoreover, Su Yi’s sword fingers were long-range attacks. Before they could get close to Su Yi, they were all pierced through by the sword fingers.

nAfter killing those tree demons, Su Yi followed the direction they came from.

nNot long after, he saw a quagmire, which could be said to be a swamp.

nHe saw that the quagmire was surrounded by those withered tree demons. After sensing his arrival, they all opened their mouths wide and attacked him with tree branches.

n“Creak, creak, creak…”

n“Shut up. Second move, Tiangang Six Sword Fingers!”

nGoosebumps formed all over his body. He hurriedly formed a hand seal and used Tiangang Sword Fingers.

nThe sound was like a hard object rubbing against glass. He really did not know what was in the mouth of this tree demon, was it glass?

n“I don’t know where they are…”

nSuddenly, there was a notification from the immortal destiny seal. It was actually a communication from Nie Ling.

n“Fellow Daoist Su, where are you? Be careful of this forest. There’s a kind of demon beast called the withered tree demon. It’s very annoying.”

nWhen he saw this, the corners of his mouth curled up. It seemed that Nie Ling had also encountered the tree demon.

nIn other words, they were probably not far from each other.

nFollowing that, he used the immortal destiny seal to chat with Nie Ling. He discovered that the girl had actually met Li Mengxi early on. This left him at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

nIt seemed that he was the only one who was a lone wolf. Up until now, he had not met a single cultivator.

nIf he wanted to regroup, he had to finish what he was doing first.

nCold light kept gathering at his fingertip as the withered tree demon in the quagmire kept falling.

nAfter he finished dealing with the demon beasts, he waved his hand and began to gather the materials on the tree demons.

nHint: Collection successful. You have obtained foundation establishment realm demonic core x 1, hard bark x 1

n…

nAfter more than a dozen hints, his face turned black. Apart from providing foundation establishment realm demon cores, these withered tree demons were useless.

nWhat was the use of the bark?

nJust as he was feeling a little depressed, the quagmire started to change.

nHe was somewhat alert. He saw that the quagmire was continuously bubbling with mud bubbles as if something was coming out.

nLooking at the increasingly intense and denser mud bubbles, Su Yi’s heart tightened.

nHis body had already tensed up. If any demonic beasts appeared, he would immediately throw an attack over.

nHowever, no demonic beasts appeared.

nIn the continuously bubbling mud puddle, a wooden treasure chest rose up. It looked quite old.

nSeeing this, Su Yi knew that he had been nervous for nothing. His footsteps were light, and he actually jumped to the side of the treasure chest.

nHe reached out and opened the treasure chest.

nHint: You have obtained low-grade spiritual stone x 500, essence of water x 1

n“Hmm? What is this?”

nHe took out the essence of water. It was a light blue bead. His eyes narrowed, and the attributes of the bead appeared.

nItem: Essence of water (unknown use)

nDescription: An element condensed from the essence of water

nThe corners of his mouth slightly curled up. He did not know what kind of item it was, but since it was in the ruins, it should be used in the ruins as well.

nHe jumped onto a tall tree that was dozens of meters tall and began to communicate with Nie Ling with the immortal seal.

n“Fellow Daoist Nie, how’s the scenery over there? Please tell me some eye-catching landmarks so I can meet up with you.”

nHe looked around from the tall tree, but he could not find any eye-catching places.

nThe seal moved slightly. Nie Ling, who was gathering withered tree demon materials, heard Su Yi’s voice and replied.

n

n

n“Fellow Daoist Su, we seem to be close to a lake, but there’s no water in the lake.”

n“A lake?”

nSu Yi looked around. If it was a lake, then there was no water in the dense forest.

n“Oh right, fellow Daoist Su, our position should be…”

nAfter Nie Ling gave the general direction, Su Yi traveled on top of the trees for a while and finally saw an empty space.

nAfter confirming his position, he rushed over with all his strength.

nSoon, he arrived at that space. It was indeed a lake, but the lake was full of soft mud and emitted a foul smell.

n“Fellow Daoist Su, we’re over here!”

nFollowing the sound, he saw two beauties on the other side of the lake.

n….
