Chapter 531: Man-Eating Forest

Chapter 531: Man-Eating Forest

In an instant, a scream was heard.

Witnessing this scene, the others seemed to be cast under a spell and fell silent instantly.

After a while, a young woman walked in.

She had an upright posture, a stern look, and exuded a frightening aura.

"Are you all awake?"

The guard quickly responded respectfully: "Yes, Dean Huo."

Huo Ranxing nodded slightly and gave a brief order: "Well, take them all over."

Looking at the person leading the way in front, Lin Yuchen felt uneasy. He moved closer to Gu Li beside him and asked in a low voice, "What do you think they are taking us to?"

A horrible thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that they were going to use them as guinea pigs for drug testing?

Gu Li looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "It depends on the situation."

If it really comes to a life-and-death moment, in order to protect himself, he can only break the seal in his body again.

Soon, they were taken to the outskirts of the forest.

Huo Ranxing stood on a high place, his eyes as sharp as knives, looking down at everyone condescendingly, holding in his hand a spiritual herb that was flickering with a faint light.

He said, "Do you see the magical herbs in my hand? Go in and pick them. As long as you pick one, you will be free."

A big man in the crowd shouted boldly: "Why should we help you?"

Huo Ranxing sneered and said in a cold tone, "If you don't want to, then go and die."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing everyone's thoughts of resistance.

Those who were ready to make a move suddenly shut their mouths.

I thought to myself, it's just picking a magical herb, it doesn't seem to be a difficult task, so I just pick it.

But Gu Li had a feeling that things were not that simple.

If it's so easy, why don't they just pick them themselves?

Huo Ranxing seemed to see through everyone's thoughts and added: "Go in, your shackles will no longer imprison your spiritual power, but as long as you try to open them, they will be imprisoned again."

After hearing this, the little thoughts that had just popped up in some people's minds were instantly suppressed.

Everyone knows that in this dangerous forest, those without spiritual power are like lambs to be slaughtered. Once they encounter monsters, they are almost certain to die.

Gu Li and Lin Yuchen followed the crowd and entered the forest together.

The two of them looked at each other inconspicuously, slowed down their pace tacitly, and little by little left the crowd.

After making sure that no one noticed them, they immediately ran in the other direction.

They ran for half an hour without stopping until they were out of breath.

Lin Yuchen supported his knees with his hands, gasped and complained: "Who are these people!"

Gu Li frowned and said in a deep voice: "This forest is absorbing our spiritual energy."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuchen quickly calmed down and carefully felt the spiritual power in his body.

After a while, he widened his eyes in shock: "Oh my god, it's true! What should I do?"

Gu Li's eyes flashed, and his magic veins instantly transformed, with powerful magic power surging out.

In just a moment, the shackles on both of them melted into a pool of molten iron.

Gu Li looked solemn and uttered three words: "Man-eating forest."

"What the hell is that?" Lin Yuchen was confused.

Gu Li patiently explained: "There are relevant records in the Rebirth Pavilion. The Man-Eating Forest relies on absorbing people's vitality and spiritual power to grow stronger. Once you step into it, it is difficult to escape."

Lin Yuchen frowned and asked, "Spiritual attacks are useless against it?"

Gu Li shook his head: "No, this forest is weird because it will absorb all the spiritual power we send and use it for itself."

"No way! Is it so difficult? Then we will be in big trouble!" Lin Yuchen widened his eyes, his face full of anxiety.

Gu Li suddenly raised a confident smile, with a sly look in his eyes: "But I can."

Lin Yuchen was stunned at first, then he reacted and asked tentatively: "You mean using magic energy?"

Gu Li raised the corner of his mouth and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, demonic energy is much stronger than spiritual power. In this world, except for the demons, no creature can devour demonic energy and transform it into its own power, and this man-eating forest is no exception."

Gu Li had made up his mind, and the magic power around him surged instantly, releasing all of his demonic energy without reservation.

In an instant, the air around her seemed to be distorted by an invisible force, and the dark magic fog quickly spread with her as the center.

Sensing the invasion of external forces, the surrounding trees became like enraged beasts, twisting their branches wildly and attacking Gu Li and Lin Yuchen with their fangs and claws.

Thick vines came with a whistling sound, and sharp branches shot towards them like hidden weapons.

However, once these attacks touched the evil spirit, they melted instantly like ice and snow encountering fire.

Instead, the trees were burned by the evil spirit, making a sizzling sound, and could not get close to the two at all.

A trace of shock flashed across Lin Yuchen's eyes, and he couldn't help but sighed: "Tsk, it really is this thing!"

Under the cover of the evil spirit, the surrounding flowers, plants and trees that were originally nourished by spiritual energy and full of vitality seemed to have been drained of their lives and began to slowly wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While Gu Li was vigilantly responding to the attacks from all around, he anxiously asked Lin Yuchen, "Do you still have a teleportation array in your space ring?"

This forest was obviously kept here by someone on purpose. Once the person behind the scenes notices it, he will definitely rush over to check the situation as soon as possible.

But now that she no longer has the Pavilion of Rebirth and the Chaos Ring with her, none of the previous formations can be used, and she must escape as soon as possible.

Lin Yuchen did not hesitate at all and immediately answered: "Yes."

Having said that, he quickly took out a formation ball from the space ring.

Gu Li concentrated on using his mental power to control the magic attack while saying methodically, "It will be activated in a quarter of an hour."

Lin Yuchen nodded seriously: "Okay!"

Looking at the trees that were slowly withering under the attack of the demonic energy, Gu Li raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth and murmured in a low voice: "If you dare to tie me up, I'll give you a surprise."

As soon as she finished speaking, an even more powerful red demonic energy burst out from her body.

This evil energy was like a red lightning, spreading across the entire forest at an extremely fast speed.

Wherever we went, trees fell down in large numbers and the air was filled with a burning smell.

This astonishing scene happened to be seen by some people in the distance. They widened their eyes in horror, with fear and disbelief written all over their faces.

"Demonic energy, there are actually demons in Yuanhong Continent!"

I don’t know who shouted this sentence first, but the voice was trembling, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

For a moment, exclamations and discussions rose and fell among the crowd, and the feeling of fear spread quickly.

Huo Ranxing, who was about to leave, saw this scene and his pupils shrank: "Go and stop it."

The evil energy is the nemesis of this man-eating forest. Once it spreads, the man-eating forest that they have cultivated for hundreds of years will be destroyed.
