Chapter 1: No Return to the Forest

Next Chapter

The black clouds gathered above the Forest of No Return, and the Forest of No Return, where demon beasts were rampant on weekdays, seemed to have been looted by someone, and there was not a trace of demon beasts on the ground where the root system was intertwined.

The cyan vines hanging from the green branches turned dark green overnight, like the moss that had faded from the tops, revealing the original inky black, and as if dyed black by the dense black clouds at the top of the tree.

These vines originate from an ancient tree in the land of no return to the forest hills, the diameter is three zhang long, rises from the ground, goes straight to the sky, stands here for more than 10,000 years, and all those who are close to the ancient tree for ten miles are all strangled by the vines.

At this time, there were three figures hovering twenty miles away from the ancient tree, dressed in light blue long clothes, which were particularly eye-catching in this green, gray and black forest of no return.

The burly man in the lead was named Su Huaiqian, an elder of the Xuandong Valley of the Qingyang Su Clan, and on this trip he was going to personally capture an ice attribute young beast as a congratulatory gift to the young sect master who had just awakened the ice spirit root.

"Elder, further forward is the territory of the Dryad, that Dryad is a top-level demon beast, even if the True Immortal comes, he can only run!"

It was the disciple Su Li who spoke, he raised his head and looked at the ancient tree, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his legs and feet were weak before he entered.

"Elder, I haven't seen a single demon beast along the way, I'm afraid the forest is not peaceful."

Another disciple, Su Ye, also stepped forward and said, Xuandong Valley is the place where the Qingyang Su clan catches beasts and beasts, and it is not difficult for them to capture young demon beasts, and if they don't encounter demon beasts today, they will wait for tomorrow, and they are not in a hurry at this time.

If you really suffer from the attack of the tree demon and die in Huangquan, it will be too late to regret it.

Listening to the disciple's words, Su Huaiqian looked down at the longevity pattern in his palm, that line unconsciously came to an end, if he didn't get the longevity pill quickly, he would definitely die in less than half a year.

He was the one with the lowest cultivation among the four elders of Xuandong Valley, and he was nearly seven hundred years old, but he was still unable to break through in the out-of-body period, and his lifespan in the out-of-body period was only seven hundred years.

The other three elders of Xuandong Valley have always been unkind to him, so he took the initiative to take on the task of finding a contract beast for the young master, if he can capture the extremely talented ice attribute demon beast to offer, he can open his mouth to ask the family master for a three-hundred-year-old longevity pill.

Not far away, there is a group of ice-attribute white foxes living in this towering ancient tree, the white fox is a high-grade demon beast, with good combat power, and can spit out people's words, but the white fox is cunning by nature and often appears in groups, and is protected by ancient trees, so it is rarely arrested.

A few days ago, I heard that the fox king was dead, and now is the best time to sneak in.

This time, he must catch a rare young beast! The white fox is his best choice.

Recognizing the current situation, Su Huaiqian no longer hesitated, and took the two young disciples of the foundation building period to step into the area covered with black vines.

No sooner had the White Boots stepped on the ground covered with soft leaves and dry branches than a terrible scream rang out all around them, a piercing sound that almost pierced the eardrums.

Immediately afterward, vines whipped the air haphazardly with all their might, like a warning to the intruder, and like a final struggle.

For a while, the leaves fell in the wind, blowing so that people couldn't open their eyes, and even if they strengthened the spell, they couldn't stabilize their figures, as if the entire Forest of No Return was shaking violently under the traction of some kind of force.

The three of them sensed the danger, each took out their magic weapons and prepared to leave, and in the next second, they were stared at by a gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything, and at the same time as the gaze swept over, the suffocating killing intent swept in instantly.

They instinctively drive the life-saving magic weapon, but the aura around them is stagnant, and their bodies are imprisoned and unable to move. Obviously not within the range of the ancient tree's attack, why was it attacked?

Death took a little longer, so much so that the cold sweat on their foreheads was dried by the wind.

All I heard was a thud - something was snapped and slammed into the lake, causing a thousand waves. The waves crashed against the shore, wetting the fallen leaves and dead branches, and washing away some traces that should not exist.

After a few moments, the earth stopped shaking, the dust settled, and everything fell silent.

Su Huaiqian, who gradually regained consciousness, opened his pupils slightly, unable to believe the scene he was seeing.

The ancient tree that once covered the small half of the Forest of No Return in the shadows with its lush foliage, and the Dryad Demon that terrified countless monks, was actually cut down by the waist! The huge canopy fell into the lake of tears, leaving the stump in place.

What the hell happened just now?

"Elder!" The two little disciples opened their mouths wide and shouted at the same time, just at that moment, as if they were being targeted by a hungry beast, they thought they were going to die here, but they never thought that it was a tree demon who died!

Shocked and puzzled, the three of them walked towards the ancient tree Edgeworth, and the black vines that covered the sky lost their vitality, became dry, and shattered to the ground at the slightest touch, like charred charcoal.

Su Huaiqian looked around the top of the stump, and there was no residual aura on the neat incision, as if the person who came just waved a sword lightly, and the tree was broken.

In the past, after an immortal, relying on the divine sense of an immortal on his body, he came here rashly, and finally ended up with no bones left. At that time, the trunk of the dryad, with the full force of the immortal divine sense, only left a few scratches.

Immortals can't enter the human realm privately, and they don't return to the forest in the human realm, so the people who come are not immortals. Who is He Jian? It's so capable! A sword broke the ancient tree!

"Elder! There's a white fox down there! The little disciple Su Li looked down along the tree hole, the tree hole was dark, although it was not real, but there was the breath of a fox demon in it.

Monks take it as their mission to kill demons, and demon beasts are often good at concealment and disguise, in order to track down those fleeing demon beasts, it has become permissible to contract an obedient and powerful demon beast.

Su Li's contract beast is a black python, and with the help of the black python, he can quickly distinguish the breath of the demon beast. As an elder of Xuandong Valley, Su Huaiqian naturally also had a contract beast, a blue bird, and when he killed a demon beast hundreds of years ago, the blue bird died unexpectedly.

Each person can only have one contract beast, and without the contract beast, Su Huaiqian, it is difficult to tell whether those newborn young beasts that have not been contaminated with human blood have opened their spiritual talents, so they can only rely on these two little disciples who have contract beasts.

The three of them entered the warm and humid tree hole, and Su Ye condensed the aura in his hand and lit a fire.

The hollow was illuminated by orange light, and the walls were covered with vines, the upper vines were charred black and emitting white smoke, and the vines next to the ground were dripping something, and the viscous liquid seemed to penetrate the entire stump, and what came into the eyes was a striking red.

Covered in bright colors, there were white foxes with their throats slit, their sharp, shiny teeth hung with mucus, and their eyes were staring like brass bells, staring at them as if they were still alive.

But they don't have a trace of undulating hearts, and they represent death.

"One, two...... What's going on here? Su Ye looked at the fresh corpses all over the ground, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. When he saw the ancient tree being cut down, he was only shocked and faintly excited, but what he saw now made him feel frightened.

There are seven hundred of these white foxes! Some are still young beasts. There is no doubt that the White Fox clan has been wiped out without returning to the forest.

Monks killing demons often do not harm the young beasts, firstly, the young beasts can be raised as contract beasts, and secondly, killing the young beasts will not increase merit.

Nowadays, if a monk wants to ascend, he must have enough merit, and merit can only be obtained by slaying demons and destroying demons, and the more powerful the demon beast he kills, the more merit he will get.

"Who the hell is it? Is it an ancient tree? Su Li wanted to summon the black python and ask it to help check it, but the black python was huddled in the corner, very afraid of the situation in the tree hole, there was a presence that made it fearful.

"The branches of the ancient trees are luxuriant, and they are often used as a habitat by demon beasts, and the white fox has lived here for many years, and will not suddenly turn its face. Looking at the scars on the corpse, they were all sword wounds, and a sword sealed the throat, just like the sword marks that cut off the ancient tree. ”

Su Huaiqian looked at the corpse of the white fox, his eyes gradually turned cold, he didn't pay attention to who did it, a group of beasts, dead and dead.

He just wanted to know if there was still a living white fox. If not, you need to find another one earlier.

After the movement of the ancient tree, there will be many people rushing here at this moment. The silver snake that lives near the Lake of Tears is also an ice attribute, and its strength is not inferior to that of the white fox, so it is his second choice.

So the three of them looked in three directions, carefully checking to see if there were any surviving cubs.

Suddenly, in the cave that should have been silent, there was a sharp scream, one long and one short, beating the hearts of the three people. The voice was strong, similar to the cry of a newborn, desperate to prove its existence.

Su Huaiqian followed the direction from which the voice came from, pushed aside the vines on the wall, and saw a basket in the corner surrounded by vines, and the source of the cry was lying in the soft fox fur blanket, his eyes were closed, and he kept waving his hands.

Just when the three of them wondered why there was a child under the moon in the cave of the demon beast, the child stretched out his hand and pushed away the blanket blocking her head, and a pair of pointed white ears came into view.

"It's!" Su Li took a step forward, his expression changed greatly, witnessing the ancient tree being broken and the white fox clan being wiped out, it didn't make him lose his proportion, but the child in front of him actually had a pair of fox ears!

Su Huaiqian stared at the pair of slightly trembling fox ears, countless thoughts flashed in his mind, there had never been a demon beast, and no one had been born with beast ears. Beasts are beasts, even if they can cultivate and become stronger, they still can't escape the end of being killed by monks.

The existence of the demon beast is to be killed by the monk and become a stepping stone on the path of the monk's ascension to the immortal. Just as a fish is eaten by humans, fish demons are destined to be killed by monks, a rule that has remained unchanged throughout the ages.

But now, there is a child with fox ears here! Is this evil seed a human or a demon?

"My black python is very afraid of this little one, she should be a white fox with extraordinary talents." Su Li thought of the fear that the black python had just born, and concluded that this white fox with a human appearance must be extraordinary.

He took the basket in his arms and looked closely, and found that under the fox fur blanket, there were nine more fluffy tails.

"Elder! It's the Nine-Tails! Su Li showed the little fox's tail like a treasure. The fox king cultivated for 10,000 years to get the nine-tails, and this little fox was born with nine tails!

These nine snow-white tails represent one in a million of her talents, a fox with fox ears and a human body and a beast tail, the only one in the world, if it is dedicated to the head of the family, the head of the family must be happy!

Su Huaiqian took the basket and put away the greed in his eyes, at this moment, he was extremely sure that the fox in the basket was a demon beast that could bring him wealth and glory, not a human!

He stuffed a milky white pill into the little fox's mouth to satisfy his hunger, and the little fox immediately stopped crying, smashed his little mouth, and quietly let him wrap it.

"Back to Qingyang Mountain." Su Huaiqian maintained a calm demeanor, picked up the tightly wrapped little fox that did not show its tail and ears, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a hypocritical arc. It's not in vain for him to take this trip, and the three-hundred-year-old longevity pill is in front of him.

The two little disciples also thought that this little fox was both a white fox clan and a nine-tailed, and such a talent was worthy of their young sect master.

The little fox, who had been sleeping peacefully after getting the food, did not realize that she had been taken away by strangers, and that the people who had only one side of the relationship were gone.
