After trekking for three full days, Jiang Mo arrived at the edge of Cangshan Mountain.

It's far away from human settlements, and it's rarely inhabited.

The weather in June was very hot, even if he stayed in the house and didn't do anything, he was sweating like rain, not to mention Jiang Mo in the scorching sun, carrying the Heavenly Punishment Ancient Sword on his back, trekking on foot.

Every time Jiang Mo takes a step, he always leaves two deep footprints under his feet.

This feeling of heat was not relieved until it entered the mountains.

The tall trees shade the hot air from the outside, and there is a rare coolness inside.

Jiang Mo was lying on top of a bluestone, feeling the cold touch coming from under him, his eyes were slightly closed, and his expression seemed to be very enjoyable.

After half an hour of rest, his eyes opened.

"In the next month, hunt more desolate beasts and see if you can break through to the realm of the three-star martial monarch before you reach the Cang Netherworld!" Jiang Mo gently supported his palm on the bluestone, and his body jumped up flexibly.

Although the Underworld Domain is extremely rich in martial arts resources, it has also gathered a lot of real martial arts powerhouses, if the strength is not good, even if it is there, it will not be able to compete for those who lick the blood at the tip of the knife!

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Mo no longer hesitated, his toes touched the ground lightly, and his figure flashed out like a spirit monkey.

The mountain wind was howling, and the leaves in the dense forest made a rattling sound.

An emaciated figure appeared in a clearing.

"Huh, why are the trees here so sparse?" Looking at the somewhat abnormal situation around him, Jiang Mo couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

At a certain moment, he suddenly noticed that the shadow cast on the open space in front of him had changed slightly.

The shadows of the two trees seemed to move to the sides for a moment.

Syllable!

Suddenly, a crisp sound suddenly resounded from this clearing.

Jiang Mo was shocked to see that from mid-air, a thick emerald branch was slamming towards him, and even the air made a whirring sound of breaking wind.

At the same time, from above the clearing, more than a dozen gray-brown roots suddenly emerged, and the roots were entwined towards Jiang Mo, like the tentacles of an octopus, which made people's scalps tingle.

Jiang Mo touched his toes on the ground a little, and his figure flashed rapidly, causing the branches and roots to be emptied.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, more branches broke through the air, withered yellow, verdant, and even blood-red branches, at this moment, as if they were completely alive, they shrouded Jiang Mo with teeth and claws.

The air was filled with the sound of the wind breaking.

The ground beneath his feet began to squirm endlessly, and tree roots broke through the ground and swept towards Jiang Mo's legs.

This clearing is a dangerous place in the Cangshan Mountain, which is called the Wood Spirit Jungle by outsiders.

Normally, very experienced monks are in great danger if they fall here.

The wood spirits usually wrap around their bodies and then drain the monk's blood to strengthen themselves.

"What the hell is this?"

Rao was at Jiang Mo's speed, and when facing so many branches and roots, he was inevitably a little in a hurry, he scolded angrily, and immediately took out the Heavenly Punishment Ancient Sword and slashed towards those branches and roots.

Bang, bang, bang......

The Heavenly Punishment Ancient Sword slashed through the branches and roots of the trees, making a dull sound, and occasionally sparks flew out, and those things were as hard as if they were made of fine iron.

However, when Jiang Mo infused Yuan Li into the Heavenly Punishment Ancient Sword, the sharpness of the Ancient Sword increased by one level again.

Brilliant sword light swept out, instantly cutting off more than a dozen branches and roots.

The branches and roots were cut off, and the sap of blue, yellow, blood-red, and gray-brown flowed out, and it looked like the blood of a wild beast.

Roar---

However, Jiang Mo's move not only failed to solve the trouble, but instead aroused the anger of those stout ancient trees.

They seemed to let out a low roar, and the ancient trees as thick as buckets twitched their flexible branches and moved quickly towards Jiang Mo.

Smack, smack, slap---

Because the roots of the branches were too dense, even with Jiang Mo's speed, he would inevitably be hit many times, the black clothes he was wearing were a little tattered, and several hideous blood marks traversed Jiang Mo's body, looking very miserable.

"These!"

Jiang Mo scolded angrily, and immediately urged the Yuan Force to move, and the cyan Yuan Force was mixed with blazing power, making the Heavenly Punishment Ancient Sword as if it had just been forged from the furnace, and between the swings, a rolling heat wave swept out.

Boom, boom......

This time, Jiang Mo no longer kept it, the speed of his sword swing to the extreme, the cyan sword shadow flashed by, and along with the sword light falling, there were countless branches and roots.

Colorful sap was thrown all over the sky, like a colorful rain!

Less than ten zhang away from this clearing, five black-robed figures quietly approached with a gloomy expression.

"After chasing for so long, I finally caught up with this kid!" a black-robed man with a somewhat thin stature scolded himself.

"Boss, can you take down this kid now?" another black-robed man whispered as he approached the thin black-robed man's side.

These five people were all powerhouses sent by the Aoki Empire Branch Hall --- the Wuji Temple, and the purpose was to capture Jiang Mo.

And the thin black-robed man is the leader of this team, his name is Jia Lang, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the realm of a six-star martial artist, and he is the strongest of the five.

Syllable.

Hearing this, Na Jia Lang slapped the black-robed man beside him with his backhand and scolded: "Fool, you can catch whatever you catch? You know how to rely on brute force to do anything! I don't know how to use my brain in everything? When that kid is obviously struggling, when his physical strength is exhausted, wouldn't it be better for us to make another move?"

"Hehe, the lesson of the boss is that the little one must remember it next time. The black-robed man didn't dare to be angry, so he had to deal with it with a smile.

"But then again, this kid's strength is really not bad, so he can handle the attack of the wood spirit!" Jia Lang was secretly observing Jiang Mo's strength.

In the field, Jiang Mo couldn't remember how many branches and roots he had cut off, and the ground was already covered with a thick layer, but Rao was like this, there were still overwhelming branches and roots, which was unguardable.

"An ancient tree has hundreds of branches and roots, and there are so many ancient trees around it, just if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that in the end, my yuan power will be exhausted, and I won't be able to break these ghost things!" Jiang Mo thought secretly in his heart.

"I can only cut off the ancient wood, and the only way is the fundamental policy!"

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Mo's figure flashed out in an instant, and the Heavenly Punishment Ancient Sword slashed directly at the thick trunk of the ancient tree with a cyan blazing light.
