Episode 733: The Scary Forest
“It would be better to let the Red-Eyed Blood Emperor fly slowly. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not use the Reverse Scale anymore.”
Yongjin said.
Not using the reverse scale meant not having the opportunity to restore other seventh-grade demons.
Even recovering demons of the same level as the Red Eye Blood Emperor, as well as demons of the Cheongrin Gak-eung and Gu-cheok Geo-mang, required extraordinary means and effort. However, Yong-jin did not have much time.
So, the search for the pet had to be half-abandoned. In addition, he had to avoid other demons. Since the Red-Eyed Blood Emperor’s injuries had not fully healed, his fighting power was only half of his usual level, so fighting would be a loss.
Moreover, considering the time it would take to return, I had to leave myself plenty of time. If an unexpected accident occurred while returning, such as some evil spirit blocking the way, I could be trapped here forever.
Time was running out, but there was nothing he could do. Yongjin flew slowly and searched for a strong tree.
When he found the giant tree, he immediately took a few seeds and placed them in the chaos space for an experiment. The tree had more vitality than the original tree, but not as much as Yongjin wanted.
But I couldn’t go back empty-handed, so I left the seeds behind.
Yongjin and Monggi flew for five whole days, but they couldn’t find a tree they liked. When they looked at the hourglass, they saw that it had already been ten days since they entered the spirit world.
There were also some incredibly huge trees, but they were not as strong as Yongjin wanted. It was the tenth day. Suddenly, a large forest appeared in front of him.
The Red-eyed Blood Emperor stopped flying for a moment and told Mong-gi that it was a very scary place and that he would die if he went in.
Yongjin was surprised. In front, there were huge trees that seemed to pierce the sky.
Yongjin was momentarily reminded of the god of the forest, but the forest before his eyes was filled with a strange energy. The forest was dark and gloomy because the sky was obscured by the giant leaves.
“Monggi, ask the Red-eyed Blood Emperor if he knows about the history of this forest.”
Mongki tried to communicate with the Emperor, and after a while he sighed and spoke.
“It’s not clear what it means, but it just keeps repeating that it’s a scary forest and if you go in you’ll die.”
Yongjin was dumbfounded. How could a seventh-grade demon be this stupid? Yongjin told Monggi to put the blood emperor in, and then walked deep into the forest.
The two slowly walked forward. Yongjin felt that something was wrong. It was as quiet as a mouse, and the air was thick with the aura of death.
Yongjin felt his hair stand on end. However, he could only achieve infinite replication by having branches or fruits from a giant tree.
The two of them hid their energy and advanced slowly and silently. They even closed their pores tightly, leaving no smell behind.
As he approached the forest, Yongjin discovered that the trees were more majestic than they had been when viewed from a distance.
Moreover, even the varieties were all different.
Yongjin picked up a seed the size of a basket from the ground. It looked like an enlarged walnut, but it had no life. Unfortunately, it was not a normal seed, but an empty shell, so it could not be cultivated.
Yongjin stopped moving forward. He had a gut feeling that there was something scary deep in the forest. Yongjin felt a sense of danger so great that it sent shivers down his spine.
I have never felt this scared since I entered the spirit world. My sense of the formation of the formation has never been wrong. There must be something scary deep in this forest.
Even when he faced the Black Armored Demon, an eighth-grade demon, he wasn’t this scary. If it weren’t for the reverse scale, the Black Armored Demon would have been strong enough to kill Yongjin easily.
But deep in this forest, there will be something a hundred times, even a thousand times more terrifying than the Black Armored Dragon.
Yongjin told Monggi to wait here and to report any suspicious movement through the soul teleportation before starting to climb the tree.
The trees were so tall and the branches and leaves blocked the view that it was difficult to see Mong-gi as they climbed higher, but fortunately, the two were connected by their souls.
As he climbed up the tree, Yongjin discovered a huge fruit. Yongjin picked the palm-shaped fruit, which was about three feet in diameter, with his hands.
Then, I put it straight into the chaos space and tested whether it would grow. Surprisingly, the seedling grew quickly and became huge.
The fruit grew to a dozen or so branches, but it was still a sprout. Only when it reached a hundred branches did the shape of a tree appear. Yongjin quickly plucked a branch and buried it in the ground.
Then the tree branches began to grow slowly. Yongjin came down from the tree with relief.
At this time, Mong-gi was waiting anxiously under the tree. She was anxious because of the strange forest. As time passed, she became more and more anxious, as if she was going crazy.
Yongjin gave Monggi a light kiss on the cheek to reassure her, then went to another large tree.
This tree, unlike the one before, had scale-like bark. It even emitted a faint blue light, making it very strange.
Since he was already here, Yongjin wanted to take as many seeds as possible. It takes a very long time to grow a tree this large, and only after it becomes a sapling can one know how much vitality it has.
Yongjin didn’t have much time to wait. Besides, there were dangers lurking everywhere here, and even a moment of delay could be dangerous. So he decided to grab a few seeds from another nearby tree and leave.
If the vitality of these trees is worse than expected, we can only blame bad luck.
Yongjin picked seeds from three large trees and looked around. Then he found another tree.
The tree’s leaves had natural patterns that looked like stipules. What’s more, they were about ten times larger than those of other trees.
Yongjin’s heart began to beat faster. If everything went according to plan, he should have gone down now, but when he saw the tree ten times bigger, his feet didn’t move easily.
Yongjin, who was worried, gritted his teeth and slowly crawled.
After climbing the tree, Yongjin discovered that there was no fruit on the tree. Could this really be a tree?
Yongjin couldn’t help but glance back. Among them, a branch as thick as his forearm caught his eye, so he reached out and snapped it. However, it was too strong to break.
Yongjin was so strong that he could break the magic weapon with his bare hands, so he was surprised that the tree branch did not break.
But I didn’t use any more force. If I had broken such a strong branch, it might have made an explosive sound. There was no way to know what kind of waves that sound would create in this quiet forest.
Yongjin quietly pulled out his bloody sword and swung it down. Blood flashed and the tree branch broke when it was hit by the sword. However, a red liquid suddenly started pouring out from where the branch had broken.
“no.”
The moment Yongjin’s expression hardened, the tree suddenly moved and numerous branches began to surround Yongjin like a prison.
Yongjin’s heart sank at the terrifying pressure.
‘Yongjin, be careful!’
Mongki, who sensed an abnormality below, spoke through his soul.
‘Run away!’
Yongjin threw the branch into the chaos space and cut the branches and leaves in front of him with his bloody sword.
Blood-red sap flew up into the sky. Yongjin realized that the tree had consciousness and felt that things were getting more and more complicated.
Yongjin cut down the tree branch with one stroke of his sword, summoned Brain Wing, and started running like crazy.
Whioooh.
The tree suddenly began to spread out huge branches. These were not just simple branches, but were thick and huge enough to reach several sheets.
“Crash stream!”
Feeling threatened by death, Yongjin casted Gaechon and broke through the giant trunk in front of him. Only then was he able to escape the tree’s control.
At this time, Monggi was also in danger. Numerous roots were poking through the ground and approaching Monggi. It looked like ten million strange snakes trying to swallow a person.
Yongjin cut down the tree roots with one stroke of his sword and ran away with Monggi in his arms. He had to get away from this strange forest.
Suddenly, the ground split open and a large tree rose into the air and began flying towards Yongjin.
As the tree left the ground, surprisingly, other trees also began to fly into the air one after another and chase after Yongjin.
Yongjin was going crazy because he didn’t know what power allowed those big trees to fly through the air.
Whioooh.
The tree, floating like a giant cloud, flew very fast. The countless roots rushed towards Yongjin like sharp arrows.
Although Yongjin and the tree were clearly thousands of feet apart, the roots seemed to extend infinitely and came all the way to Yongjin in the blink of an eye.
Yongjin swung his sword and cut the root. Then, a blood-like liquid flowed out from the root.
Easy… … .
When cut by Yongjin’s sword, the huge tree let out a bone-chilling roar.
“Damn, you’re trying to kill me.”
Yongjin, who cut down the tree with one stroke of his sword, was surprised to find thousands of trees around him flying into the air. The force of the blow was so strong that it made his hair stand on end.
At this time, Mongki summoned the Red-Eyed Blood Emperor, but the Blood Emperor’s speed was not enough to shake off the trees.
What was even more surprising was that the floating trees gathered together and connected to each other to form a larger body. The speed became faster and faster. Yongjin was bewildered because it was the first time he had seen such a strange thing, such as trees that were so big being able to fight like soldiers.
Mong-gi’s face turned pale when she saw the strange tree floating in the air. The combined tree was emitting an evil aura that was so evil it made her bones shiver. However, she kept her mouth shut and endured it so as not to disturb Yong-jin.
“explosion!”
Yongjin suddenly threw a fireball, causing the trees to explode. The trees ignited by the fire screamed and creaked. The roots and branches burned and ash flew.
Although the tree wasn’t hit hard, the flames had a restraining effect on it. Thanks to this, Yongjin was able to feel a little bit relieved.
Suddenly, the air began to shake violently. An oppressive feeling as if the whole world would freeze suddenly rose from deep within the forest.
Yongjin’s hair stood on end as if he was being watched by some beast. It was a threat so intense he had never felt before.
The aura was so strong that it was beyond imagination. Even Mongki was terrified and his face lost its color.
“Yongjin, what should I do?”
“Don’t be afraid. Fly the Red-Eyed Blood Emperor at full speed. I remember passing a huge river when I came here. If you go at full speed, the river will appear not far away.”
Yongjin said in a low voice.
No matter how brave he was, he couldn’t help but feel fear in front of unknown creatures. However, after crossing the line between life and death for many years, he became more calm. The more he faced danger, the clearer his mind became.
Being gripped by fear in a dangerous situation only accelerates death. Yongjin had developed the habit of staying calm for a long time, so he was able to maintain his composure even in the face of death.
