If it weren't for the latter's discovery, the situation could have been dangerous. Li Rui never expected to encounter the Tree Monster here; it was truly...
"Look at that branch; it seems to be..." Ruo Xin said repeatedly.
At that moment, the branch seemed to pinpoint Li Rui's location and, in the blink of an eye, shot out a drop of venom. At that instant, Li Rui had no words to express everything he wanted to convey!
Ruo Xin furrowed her brow, never having considered such a tactic. Although the speed of the venom was somewhat slow, it began to condense into a peculiar mist in the air. Just inhaling a bit made her head spin immediately.
"Step back a little; this guy is about to go wild!" Li Rui urged.
Little did they know, at that moment, Ruo Xin suddenly froze in mid-air!
Li Rui understood what was happening and quickly picked her up, retreating rapidly. However, unbeknownst to him, the air around them felt eerie!
It hadn't been like this just moments ago; everything before them began to blur. Li Rui's Red Shuriken Eye seemed to be affected somehow, but he couldn't pinpoint where the problem lay. The scene was truly awkward.
"Are you okay?" Ruo Xin couldn't help but ask.
Li Rui could only smile wryly; shouldn't he be the one asking her that? Why was she asking him instead?
Their altitude continued to rise, and the eerie atmosphere in the air vanished without a trace. During this time, Li Rui couldn't help but frown!
They would have to descend eventually, but what frustrated him was that he had no idea what was happening inside; he had an unsettling feeling that something was emanating from somewhere.
"Is there any way to deal with the Tree Monster?" Ruo Xin asked.
"If there were, we wouldn't be standing here feeling miserable right now."
Immediately, both of them thought of countless attempts, but strangely, every hypothesis seemed as useless as a chicken rib in the face of absolute power. Moreover, after trying several times, they found themselves in the same situation. The most frustrating part was that their current state was extremely poor, and there was a constant possibility of danger!
Perhaps the countless attempts just made the Tree Monster somewhat aware. That aside, it seemed to have set up something down below; as soon as they stepped into it, things would get complicated.
"Let's look for another place! Otherwise, we might die here without even knowing how it happened."
Li Rui nodded slightly. At this point, there was no other choice; he felt helpless! What else could he do?
Then the two of them circled in the air, sensing that they should be outside the range of the Tree Monster! However, the current situation felt a bit Eerie, as if everything in the Surroundings was somewhat ethereal.
"Why do I feel a sense of familiarity?" Ruo Xin couldn't help but say.
It seemed that the environment in the Surroundings looked exactly like what they had just seen. Strangely, there was no trace of the Tree Monster, just...
With a "crack," a sound came from underground. This time Li Rui deliberately chose an open area in the Surroundings, wanting to avoid any places with trees; otherwise, there might be unexpected variables, which would be awkward.
However, he seemed to have noticed a problem. It appeared that someone had deliberately arranged something in the Surroundings. It felt like such things couldn't possibly be created by nature's power.
Who could it be? Could it be...
Li Rui frowned slightly, pondering why this First Sect Master was so peculiar. This guy seemed particularly unwilling for him to go to this Azure Dragon Tomb. What exactly was there? The latter didn't care about anyone obstructing his path or any difficulties; he would just charge ahead!
The surroundings were eerie, and these seven stones seemed to be deliberately arranged in this manner. Between each stone was a path, and every path led into the jungle, as if entering it would lead to encounters with those so-called Tree Monsters.
Suddenly, Li Rui noticed that at the center point of the seven stones, it seemed that standing there would trigger something. The latter frowned slightly, unsure if he should attempt it.
After much contemplation, Li Rui stepped directly onto that central point. Ruo Xin wanted to grab the latter's hand to join him, but unfortunately, she was a moment too late.
Little did they know, in the blink of an eye, the seven stones moved. This felt somewhat familiar!
Moreover, it was just the right time of night; looking up, the Big Dipper seemed to align with the positions of these seven stones. However, it was frustrating that the stones kept changing their arrangement, leaving him puzzled about their direction.
At the same time, Li Rui discovered something else: the brightest star, Polaris, was exactly at the central point where he stood!
"Hey! Did you see that? That star just lit up; I can't believe this is happening!"
Li Rui stood there for a long time, realizing that in such a situation, all that was needed was an audience on the ground shouting "go go go."
After about a cup of tea's worth of time, the surroundings began to change once again, giving off a particularly strange feeling. The orientations of the seven stones seemed to shift.
"What is that…"
Li Rui frowned slightly; although he had considered such a possibility earlier, it was frustrating that it had actually occurred!
The seven stones directly chose a path, and it was in the direction of the Tree Monster. Could something so strange really happen?
"Shall we go?"
Li Rui glanced at Ruo Xin. In this situation, what else could they do but leave? Standing there foolishly was simply not an option.
"I feel that if we go through here, we need to conceal our presence and approach little by little. If anything seems off, we retreat immediately. And you have to hold my hand the whole time, understand?" Li Rui said repeatedly.
"Understood!" Ruo Xin replied, sticking close behind Li Rui like a child who had made a mistake, then grabbed his hand and left.
The two deliberately walked slowly, but the sound of the wind was particularly strange. Even more bizarre was that the wind seemed to carry a scent.
"Scent? Why can't I smell anything?" Li Rui laughed.
However, Ruo Xin's brows were tightly furrowed; she felt that there must be something amiss here. The only visible path was flanked by bushes, and crossing a certain line would lead to immediate disorientation. The feeling was truly unsettling!
Suddenly! Li Rui stopped in his tracks, as if sensing something. He turned around abruptly, and a chill ran down his spine— the Tree Monster was right behind him, silently lurking. But then something strange happened!
