With Ding Jie's narration, an unknown past was brought up, and everyone understood what happened to Xiao Ai.

Ding Jie and Xiao Ai are people born and raised in the world, and both of them were born in ancient countries. At first, the two took different paths, but both of them went to the Guild of the Ancient King's City to learn spells, and it was there that the two first met.

Xiao Ai actually failed the talent test at the beginning, but she gradually flattened the initial talent deficiency through hard work, and carried out hellish training every day, and Ding Jie had already passed the test at that time.

By chance, Ding Jie found out where Xiao Ai trained spells, and when he saw Xiao Ai's training method that was almost self-harming, he was deeply impressed by this resolute character, and Xiao Ai also felt that Ding Jie was a big brother with a good personality, and the two became good friends.

Since that time, Xiao Ai has been training with Ding Jie, and the two have worked together to urge each other to move towards higher strength.

Sure enough, God will not disappoint those who work hard, and the strength of the two quickly stood out among their peers, everyone envied the achievements of Ding Jie and Xiao Ai, but only they knew that behind this honor was a hell-level cultivation that ordinary people could not imagine.

Xiao Ai's talent has always been bad, she has come all the way by relying on an almost masochistic way, of course, the degree of hard work is ten million times that of others. At first, the two of them were quite prosperous in the ancient country, but everything changed after the two survived the thunderstorm and were led to the testing ground.

When the two of them entered the trial ground, they found that this place was even more cruel than the ancient country, and the two of them had become the people with the lowest strength, and it was impossible to gather so many cultivation resources, and once there were no cultivation resources, Xiao Ai's talent defects became more and more obvious.

Especially at that time, poisonous insects happened to appear for the first time in the Flame Mountain, and the Holy City had no time to take care of the affairs of the two of them, which made the two of them worry for a while.

At that time, the two of them who had nothing to do in the Holy City wanted to go out first to find some cultivation resources by themselves, and at that time, no one cared where they went for these weak and new arrivals.

The two sneaked out of the holy city and walked aimlessly, and the weak two soon became the prey of others, and were spotted by a group of robbers, followed the two to a deserted place, and suddenly tried to kill them and rob the resources of the two.

Fortunately, Ding Jie noticed the robber's movements in advance and ran away desperately with Xiao Ai. A group of robbers chased after him, and the two were very unfamiliar with the path of the trial ground, so they fled in one direction without a clue.

The gang of robbers didn't seem to have opened for a long time, and they kept chasing Ding Jie and Xiao Ai closely until they ran into a group of mages.

Although the Holy City has the greatest power in the Proving Ground, there are always some people who are not afraid of death who want to make a move against the mages of the Holy City, because they are the richest in the entire Proving Ground, and as long as they rob and kill each other, the Holy City is likely to not be able to find themselves.

In a panic, Ding Jie took Xiao Ai into a desperate situation, which was one of the four dangers of the trial ground not far from the southeast of the current Hanging City, the Killing Forest.

The two escaped all the way into the Killing Forest, and the gang of robbers chased them nearby and didn't dare to enter, so they had to wander outside and wait for the two to appear.

Ding Jie escaped with Xiao Ai all the way, only to discover the horror of this forest. Although it is a forest, there are no animals, only countless vines and trees, and all kinds of flowers and trees that have never been seen before.

But the strange thing is that if you walk in this forest, you will definitely get lost, no matter what method you use, you will not be able to find the way you came, and you will end up trapped in this place.

After staying in this forest for a long time, Ding Jie finally discovered the clue, it turns out that all the plants in this forest will move their positions at will, and will sneak attack and attack things that do not belong here, and sometimes you will be killed by plants unconsciously, which is why this place is called the Killing Forest.

Originally, Ding Jie thought that they would eventually die here, but unexpectedly they found a team of mages and rescued them.

In fact, at the earliest, the Killing Machine Forest was also the task place for training mages in the Proving Ground, providing the Holy City with the earliest batch of Divine Power Heavenly Art Squads, but later the Holy City found a more secure way, and the disappearance rate of this Killing Machine Forest was too high, so it was abandoned.

At that time, Ding Jie and the mages they met were the last group of Shenwei Celestial Magic teams who had been trained in the Killing Machine Forest, and these people were finishing their training and preparing to return to the Holy City, when they accidentally found Ding Jie and Xiao Ai somewhere in the forest, and they saved them.

On the way back, Ding Jie and Xiao Ai were very curious, so they asked these people about their experience in the Killing Forest.

On the way back with the Shenwei Celestial Art Team, Xiao Ai disappeared, Ding Jie didn't see Xiao Ai after looking around, only found the information she left, it turned out that Xiao Ai was envious of the cultivation level and resources in the Killing Machine Forest, and returned to the Killing Machine Forest alone to cultivate.

When Ding Jie learned the news, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked others to help him go back to save Xiao Ai, but the actions of the Shenwei Tianshu team must be reported, and they can only act after they are dispatched, and now they have received the order to withdraw, of course, there is no way to help Ding Jie save Xiao Ai.

In desperation, Ding Jie could only save Xiao Ai by himself, but fortunately, those people from the Shenwei Heavenly Art Team taught Ding Jie how to survive and find a route in the Killing Forest, so Ding Jie went back and began to look for it slowly, and after many days of searching, he finally found Xiao Ai.

At that time, it was in an area that no one had ever touched, and Ding Jie found Xiao Ai's figure.

It was a small house made of wood and stone, and it seemed to have a layer of enchantment protection on it, and Xiao Ai was at the door of that house, and she was trapped by the enchantment there at that time, staying inside and fighting against the crushing of the enchantment.

After Ding Jie arrived, he found that Xiao Ai was in danger, and immediately went to the rescue, desperately injured Ding Jie finally saved Xiao Ai, but it was precisely because of this time that irreparable damage was brought to Xiao Ai's body.

It was also at this time that Ding Jie unexpectedly discovered that there was an extra summoned beast by Xiao Ai's side, which was the green villain named Gollum.

Ding Jie asked Xiao Ai, but she didn't know the specific situation, only that Xiao Ai accidentally discovered this house at that time, and saw that the prohibition on it was very powerful, so she used this house as an opponent to train.

Later, I fell asleep unconsciously, and after waking up, this Gollum was by her side and stayed with her, and she didn't leave anyway, and then Xiao Ai simply accepted Gollum as her own summoning beast.
