The Second Flight — Chapter 120 Another Use

  "The third hazard is that tree branch cut by that idiot just now. The branch will keep chasing and attacking."

  "Ah!" Wēn Tāo listened to Jīn Méng say this, feeling that this giant tree was indeed very mysterious, but didn't think that this would become the third dangerous place. The first one sounded like it could withstand a full-force blow from an early-stage Transcendent master, and the second one also made sense, having its own special toxicity.

  But Jin Mao is arranged like this, there must be his reason. Wen Tao smiled and asked: "I would like to hear why it's ranked third. Is there anything else to say after entering?"

  "Nothing to say, it's just that those who haven't truly experienced it will never know. At first, it seems simple. But as you cut down more and more branches, the faster and crazier it gets. And with branches covering the sky and ground, when you try to dodge or fly away, you'll trigger even more. This way, you'll have to face countless attacks. If you're forced inside, facing those massive branch attacks, and especially when facing attacks from branches over 5 meters thick, that's when you'll know its true power. By then, even if you want to run, you won't be able to. And the outer branches, if they truly unleash their might, are no different from the inner ones."

  There is a saying that in front of a true master, relying solely on numbers is useless. However, there is a huge gap between them, like a master above the Tribulation period facing an ordinary person, it's incomparable. But within the realm of the giant tree, it's completely different. Here, the giant tree is everything, and its branches are not inferior either. In the end, what truly stands out is this giant tree that can support a piece of heaven and earth at the edge of Mount Shu's forbidden area.

  "Where is the last danger?" Although it's still hard to think about it seriously in my mind for the time being, I dare not be careless and secretly remember it in my heart.

  "Finally..." Jin Mang raised his head and gazed at the towering tree in the distance, saying: "Inside that tree, but you don't need to know, because once you go in, there's no chance of coming out again."

  "Oh!" Wentao also looked over in his direction, very casually and normally: "Then how did you come out?"

  "I am..." Just as he said two words, Jin Mang suddenly realized something was off and immediately fell silent.

  Jin Meng really didn't want to say. Wen Tao naturally wouldn't force him to speak, and if it came down to it, he believed Jin Meng would say something. Seeing Jin Meng's unwillingness to speak, Wen Tao smiled faintly, what an interesting place this is. And as for Jin Meng, it seemed like there were still many secrets waiting to be uncovered on his body.

  The crowd continued to move forward, fortunately the branches became simpler as they went deeper, but they also became thicker. However, everyone was even more careful, and it seemed that the thicker branches were actually more sensitive.

  "A loud rumble..." A sudden, thunderous sound came from the front. Thick tree branches crashed to the ground, colliding with each other in mid-air and producing a deafening roar. The crowd didn't dare approach, watching from afar as the chaotic noise spread towards their group.

  "Beware, formation!" Only to see several sword lights suddenly rushing over, and the surrounding branches also moved a lot. Tian Jun Xing hurriedly shouted loudly.

  "Nobody move, don't even twitch." Wentao also shouted loudly at this time, and now, there were already branches that seemed to be about to whip over.

  Ling Lan, Luo Zhenfeng, and Haitao immediately froze upon hearing Wentai's words.

  "Listen to the doctor." In an instant, Tian Jun Xing made a decision. He fully deployed his high-quality defensive armor, ready to react quickly if anything went wrong. However, the branch was now half a meter thick and its power was terrifying, even Tian Jun Xing didn't have confidence that he could withstand it for several rounds.

  A few miserable cries, those people were directly swept away, and even Yuanying couldn't escape, being thoroughly killed in an instant.

  Once everything calmed down, the branches were again like ordinary branches, crisscrossing each other, and new branches quickly grew from where they had been cut off. The fallen branches on the ground quickly merged into the ground, and it was as if nothing had happened at all.

  Suddenly, Wen Tao had an epiphany, as if he suddenly thought of something. Swatting flies, after the fly was swatted to death and fell there, then swept away. At this time, only the exterminated cultivators were left on the ground, everything else returned to normal, but no cultivators were seen elsewhere. This does not mean that no one died here before, it can only be explained...

  The wind, the strong wind that Jin Meng said would have no effect on the branches of trees, but only on other external objects. In other words, these dead bodies and the like will definitely become part of the dust after encountering the wind.

  At the thought of this, Wentao took a cold breath, and looked at these crisscrossing branches again, they were no longer so icy and lifeless. It was as if he felt a huge creature sleeping there, and around it, there were always small insects that would disturb its sleep, occasionally touching it, even natural reactions could kill them.

  Witnessing such momentum, Tian Jun Xing was secretly fortunate. Just now, countless giant tree branches flew by their side, some even felt that they had been smashed on the head, if they acted impulsively and made an attack, the result would be like these people, who entered deeper than themselves, and came very calmly.

  "Thank you, Doctor Wén." Tiān Jūn bowed his hands in gratitude. Although Wén Táo had previously not even known about the towering tree that pierced the sky, he was now able to remind everyone to avoid danger. Tiān Jūn Xīng had gained experience and no longer asked questions. However, he was increasingly understanding why the Great Island Master valued Wén Táo so much.

  "These are all Jin Mao's words. Wen Tao nodded slightly in response: 'We're all on the same side, no need to be so polite, how much further do we have to go?'"

  "There's probably still three kilometers left, we'll be there soon." As they got closer and closer, the trees seemed to grow even bigger, appearing endless.

  Wen Tao and they continued on their way.

  "These branches are actually so fierce!" Han Jinxiu still had lingering fear in his heart, among the people who died just now, there were two who were early-stage Dongxu masters, and it was almost impossible for him to avoid them. Only now did he feel lucky, if he had been acting recklessly here, he would probably have ended up like them.

  The Qingcheng Sect team, led by Han Changqi, had already circled around to the back of Wentai and his group. They simply followed behind Wentai's group. Because their spiritual awareness was restricted, they didn't have to worry, as long as they carefully followed from high altitude.

  "Master, look! It seems that we're not the only ones following Bibo Haotian." Han Changqi pointed to a distance, and they saw several people hundreds of meters away from them, carefully staring at Wentai and others who were moving forward in mid-air, cautiously following behind.

  "Han Jinsoo said with a scowl, 'Damn it, I should have brought more people. We could have secretly taken out those who had ideas about the Dragon Slashing Sword but didn't send strong lineups.'"

  "Look at those poor devils who were just killed by the branch below. Even Yisuozong Master can't calculate anything here, making it a perfect place for murder and treasure snatching."

  This idea had actually occurred to Han Changqi long ago, but at this moment, seeing the branch's power, he also felt a lingering fear.

  "Master, let's hurry up and catch up, don't let other sects take advantage of us."

  Three miles away, Wentao and his party had already stopped.

  Find a space as big as a basketball court, and everyone sits together in a circle. Although it's here, the quality of life hasn't decreased at all. The twelve subordinates of Tian Jun Xing are on guard around them, while Wen Tao and Tian Jun Xing sit on a spacious and comfortable Italian leather sofa.

  In Lu Zhens words, practicing the truth does not necessarily mean that one must eat bitterness, but during training, no matter how tired or painful it is, one must persevere. However, when it comes to rebellious stories, one should enjoy them when they are meant to be enjoyed.

  In his storage ring, everything is complete, if it's not time yet, he can still take out countless things.

  Eating, dressing, living, and traveling, things that can be used in life, especially some enjoyable ones, good red wine, cigars, the world's top wines, various movie scripts, books... In short, as he said, when he has the ability later on, get a super-large storage ring, put all the good stuff inside, including his hundreds of limited-edition sports cars.

  "Reporting to the Third Master, there are currently seven groups of people following us from behind. Among them are Tianji Dao people from the Emei Sect and Han Changqi from the Qingcheng Sect, as well as people from Sha Ou Island. The other four groups are all some scattered cultivators who have gathered together." Someone outside of Weng Tong's group was reporting to Tian Jun Xing.

  The heavenly king nodded and waved his hand to let him retreat. This belonged to the sudden flight, the speed was not very fast, but several twists that looked very strange had already disappeared from sight.

  "Don't be surprised, Doctor Wen." Tian Jun Xing explained: "This person was sent by the master of our island long ago and arrived before us."

  "So it seems that Master Daishima had a plan all along?"

  Tian Jun Xing Dao said, "My master said that although this competition is not very intense, there are still many people who want to get the Dragon-Slaying Sword. If it weren't for the fact that the sword has been severely damaged and has gone through so many years, everyone would not be so optimistic about it. Moreover, in the world, there are only five people who can calculate things to this extent, and my master is the only one from the Bi Bo Hai Tian sect. The others are all free agents, unbound by any constraints. They naturally wouldn't participate in such a thing, so most people come just to try their luck, while a small number will follow us."

  There were actually two groups of people following them. Wentai had already sensed something was off, but seeing Tian Xing seemed so confident, he didn't say anything else.

  "It seems that these people on the island must have other uses." Wentao said, Tianjun Xing had already not prepared to hide, but his face was slightly stiff, and what Wentao said was not wrong.
