"Hey, isn't that Han Lu, the old owner of the previous generation of Cuihu Villa?" someone in the crowd asked suspiciously.

"It seems to be, yes," someone chimed in.

"I haven't seen him for decades, and I thought he was dead...... someone else said.

"Isn't that the Southern Fist Sect, the founding patriarch Han Yi?"

"It's not a legend on the rivers and lakes that he has ...... Dead?"

"That seems to be the Great Elder Lu of the Giant Spirit Peak, ......didn't expect it?"

This group of uninvited guests has disappeared for more than 30 years, and the moment they appeared, they caused a lot of discussion among the older generation of people present.

There were also many people in this group of old people back then, who had participated in the Nantian event, and when they appeared in front of the world again, it was inevitable that everyone would be shocked.

Master Yun looked around at the group of old men who suddenly appeared, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes were full of sarcasm. It seems that these uninvited guests, as well as many others who have not been seen for decades, are very familiar.

Yan Xi gently tugged at Chen Changfeng's sleeve, and Chen Changfeng protected her with Luo Qingyan and Xiao Yi and others.

Zhang Haidong, Xu Shanqing, Huo Jiafeng and the others looked at this group of old men who had never seen before, but had vaguely heard of the major sects, and introduced them to Chen Changfeng in a whisper.

Emperor Yan Lai agreed with the suggestion of the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and dispatched nearly 10,000 palace guards to maintain this chaotic scene, for fear that these old men, who had not been born in the past few decades, had bad intentions.

Chen Changfeng didn't care at all, and felt that these people had some bad intentions, so he sneered indifferently: "As long as you are not blind and deaf, don't think about making Young Master Ben unhappy." When it's time to contribute, they are all in front of the turtle king. Now that the trouble is solved, I still want to take the power of the fisherman. You old immortals, aren't you ashamed?"

This group of hidden old men didn't care at all in the face of Chen Changfeng's ridicule and insults. The first one, looking at some respected old people, took a few small steps forward.

He stepped forward slowly, faced Chen Changfeng, and said sincerely in a language that was not divided into generations: "Little friend, please rest assured, the old man does not have the heart to be difficult by strong people, but the old man ......"

The old man, who called himself Lin Mao, began to describe himself as having returned unharmed from a thrilling place called the "Dark Forest".

Originally.

Thirty years ago, Lin Mao took nearly a thousand of his peers to try to go to sea to find the legendary immortals.

Nearly a thousand of them were familiar with the strange ancient scroll. I felt that on the eastern side of the East China Sea of the scroll, there were several seemingly vague dots in the world drawn on the map.

Nearly 1,000 people still believe in this life, and there is still some hope for the ascension of the Tao. So I decided to start a new journey.

Nearly 1,000 old men, after discussion, decided to make the first stop, first to the east of the East China Sea, to explore.

Nearly a thousand people, twenty large ships, followed the tide for more than half a year, and finally discovered the vague point on the ancient scroll, due east of the East China Sea, that mysterious place.

This continent of the world, located 30,000 miles east of the vast East China Sea, hides an island with perennial stormy waves. The island is shrouded in darkness all year round, hidden in the mist of the sea like a fairyland. Generations have been protected from outsiders. This is a place where all the plants of the genus Yang and Yin Wood in the world grow.

The sun rises in the east, and all the yang trees in the world are born to the sun.

At sunset, all the yin trees in the world also move with the sunset.

Everything in the world seems to be a mystery about this dark and dense forest land in the far east, and perhaps only a handful of people were able to return alive from there. Or maybe on that small island tens of thousands of miles away from the mainland, no mortal would dare to set foot at will. So no mortal has ever been able to discover that mysterious dark forest.

At first, the day of landing on the island was uneventful, but as everyone went deeper and deeper into this island, which is full of all kinds of flowers and trees in the world, all kinds of strange and absurd phenomena emerged......

As the sun set in the evening, the closer they got to the middle of the island, as they walked on the soft and fertile earth, they all sensed an endless stream of energy radiating from the depths of the earth.

After the sun sets, the moon shines brightly. The big tree in the middle of the island unexpectedly stretched out its thick roots from the ground, with terrible barbs, and stretched upwards to the wind.

The one who came with the old man Lin Mao, Master Zude, a master of the sword path of the rivers and lakes. Without him noticing, everyone looked at each other, and was instantly pulled into the dirt by the thick roots of the tree, and he didn't even have time to scream.

There was nothing the crowd could do to help. I could only watch this terrifying scene......

The original lush scene on the island instantly became bloody and terrifying.

And that big tree, which eats people...... Laughing, like a ghost, giggling...... Smiled weirdly...... Giggle......

(If you are afraid, I will ask you if you are afraid)

The rest of the safe and sound masters of the rivers and lakes were all frightened like a tide, and they went to the direction of the moored ship, and fled for their lives......

However, when everyone approached the edge of the island, they found that all the boats they were on had mysteriously disappeared out of thin air.

As the saying goes, it should not be done every day, and it is called that the earth is not spiritual.

This group of people who are stranded on the island are afraid and panicked, and in the end they can only rely on those melons and fruits on the island to survive like a year.

Fortunately, the scene of the tree eating people will only happen again on the day of the full moon.

Every month, there is a master of the rivers and lakes who has become the nourishment of the big tree, and he can only blame himself for the end of the road, and disaster falls from the sky......

It took a few years for everyone to become familiar with this law. The remaining survivors of the rivers and lakes have inevitably grown a lot of courage.

So a few years later, some people went to the strange tree again in broad daylight with a tentative purpose, but they couldn't see the reason.

One day, Lin Mao luckily found a wooden tablet engraved with oracle bone inscriptions in the depths of the dark forest......

In the last few years, when the sun rose, these lucky and humble survivors tried to cut down some of the trees that were used to build ships......

(I've drunk too much and I'm sleepy, sorry guys, good night guys!)
