Dangerous places should not be easily traversed through aerial flight; this is a consensus among experienced cultivators because it could attract the attention of powerful beings.
The Death Ground of Black Absolute is no exception.
The vast expanse of this dense forest is shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see one’s own fingers. No one knows what lies hidden within, so caution is paramount.
Su Shi and Yu Ren’er entered the dense forest and immediately restrained their own aura, following closely behind Wang Que.
Looking at the pitch-black trees around them, Yu Ren’er whispered, “These are Black Acacia Trees, and they only grow within the Death Ground of Black Absolute. They can absorb the spiritual energy from the air and transform it into demonic qi, which is more suitable for fierce beasts to absorb.”
“The closer we get to the central area, the denser the trees become, and the demonic qi grows stronger,” Su Shi added. “That’s also why those ferocious demons and wild beasts are unwilling to leave this place.”
Su Shi placed her palm on a Black Acacia Tree and felt the rough bark slightly moving, as if it were breathing slowly. The spiritual energy was absorbed by the branches and then expelled as turbid mist.
Having absorbed just a trace of the mist, Su Shi immediately sensed something unusual. The mist merged with his spiritual power, causing his previously flexible and agile spiritual power to become sluggish, even affecting the speed of his cultivation techniques.
“This demonic qi is quite strange,” Su Shi frowned.
Yu Ren’er explained, “Demonic qi is beneficial to fierce beasts, but for other races, including humans, it’s like poison. Once inhaled, it not only hinders the flow of spiritual power but also has side effects. Light exposure might slow down the cultivation process, and in severe cases, it could block the meridians.”
“If too much demonic qi is absorbed, it can even affect one’s consciousness, leading to a desire for slaughter, turning them into monstrous creatures neither human nor demon.”
Su Shi ignited his divine flame within his meridians, burning away the frosty qi, and only then did his spiritual power return to normal.
“I see. No wonder this place is called a forbidden land.”
Even spiritual power cannot be absorbed here, greatly limiting the strength of other races. In this constant struggle, except for those top-tier experts, other races coming here are practically seeking death.
“Since this place is so dangerous, what exactly does Wang Que want to do here?” Su Shi was puzzled.
Could this be Wang Que’s “destiny”?
Regardless, there must be some secret about the Dog Clan. Driven by curiosity, Su Shi decided to continue following and see for herself.
Though this dark forest was perilous, with his abilities and divine arts, protecting both of them was not an issue.
If things went awry, they could always flee. “Let’s go and see what he’s up to,” Su Shi said. They closed their meridians to avoid inhaling the demonic qi and followed Wang Que’s figure deeper into the forest.
Half an hour later, they had gradually entered the innermost part of the forest. Su Shi sensed that something was amiss. The closer they got to the central area, the denser the demonic qi became. Even he and Yu Ren’er had to hold their breath to avoid inhaling it. However, Wang Que, who was only in the Foundation Establishment stage, seemed completely unaffected.
Moreover, along the way, Wang Que maneuvered through the forest as if he knew the area well, and they hadn’t encountered a single fierce beast.
Observing his familiar appearance, it was evident that it wasn’t his first time in the Death Ground of Black Absolute. “Brother Su Shi, it seems like he’s not an ordinary member of the Dog Clan,” Yu Ren’er whispered.
“In this forbidden land, even many profound and divine experts dare not come. How could a mere Foundation Establishment stage Dog Clan member know the distribution of these fierce beasts?” Su Shi shook his head. “He’s not an ordinary one because he’s one of the ‘main characters.'”
“Main character?” Yu Ren’er was puzzled.
This wasn’t the first time she had heard Su Shi mention this term.
But this is not a drama, where do main characters and supporting roles come from? Su Shi smiled and didn’t say anything.
He had been pondering a question.
During the beast arena fight, if he didn’t make a move, would Wang Que end up dying in the jaws of the fierce beast? As a character destined by fate, he certainly wouldn’t fall so easily.
Could it be that Wang Que still had some hidden cards? Or was he also entangled in his “fortune”?
“Roaar!” While Su Shi was contemplating, a roar suddenly came from not far away. The two looked up and saw thick smoke rising, trees falling one after another, and the ground trembling violently, as if a massive creature was uprooting trees and mountains on its way.
Wang Que also stopped in his tracks, looking gravely ahead.
Boom!
Amidst the billowing smoke, a colossal figure slowly emerged. It was a gigantic savage bear covered in pitch-black fur, standing at least dozens of meters tall with two crimson eyes resembling large red lanterns.
Its chest heaved, and its breath was like thunder, emanating an intense and bloody killing intent as if it were substantial!
Su Shi’s gaze narrowed slightly. “It’s a beast in the Nascent Soul and Spirit Severing Realm.” This bear demon not only possessed a powerful physical body but also surprisingly formidable spiritual power, which was quite rare among fierce beasts. Encountering such a mighty beast as soon as they entered the innermost part of the Death Ground of Black Absolute indicated the level of danger in this place!
Wang Que’s body trembled slightly. It wasn’t fear, but the instinctive trembling caused by the suppression of his cultivation level.
After all, he was only in the Foundation Establishment stage, and facing a Golden Core fierce beast was already overwhelming, not to mention a terrifying Nascent Soul and Spirit Severing stage demon.
The opponent could crush him with just one finger!
The bear demon also noticed Wang Que’s presence. It lowered its head, gazing at the tiny figure like an ant, its crimson eyes showing a hint of greed.
“Meat… hehe…”
The bear demon burst into a maniacal laugh, saliva dripping from its mouth. Although this Dog Clan member was tiny, not even enough to get stuck between its teeth, it had been a long time since it had seen other races. A change of taste wouldn’t be bad.
The two stood at a distance, silently watching the scene. Su Shi had no intention of making a move.
Although he had gained some benefits from Wang Que, he had also saved the other’s life twice, which could be considered as fulfilling his duty. Besides, Su Shi wanted to see what secrets this Dog Clan member was hiding.
Yu Ren’er didn’t say anything either.
She wouldn’t let Su Shi be in danger because of a stranger. While she was indeed kind-hearted, she also knew how to prioritize and distinguish the severity of the situation.
The atmosphere was tense.
Wang Que’s face turned pale, and his back felt cold.
Fierce beasts were not inanimate objects; even though he knew their distribution, accidents were still possible. He just didn’t expect the accident to happen so quickly.
“It seems I can only use that thing,” Wang Que gritted his teeth and took out a dark object from his pocket.
“Hmm?”
Seeing the object, Su Shi frowned. “What is that?”
