Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4575  Blood-coloured Worm

This was a vast black forest. What was shocking was that these trees actually did not die, and were still exuding slivers of vitality.

There was only one type of tree in the black forest. The tallest was close to three hundred meters tall, but the leaves were all the size of cattail leaf fans, as smooth as iron plates.

Though there was life in this place, it still gave off a feeling of desolation.

Ling Han and Brother Monkey both looked at it with their eye techniques, then nodded.

It was fine, they could go through it.

The four of them moved out, and walked into the forest.

”Strange!”

After walking for a while, Ling Han finally spoke.

”En, strange!” The large black dog also said.

”Whatʼs strange about it?” the little azure dragon asked.

”Four-Legged Snake, youʼre really too inexperienced!” The large black dog took the opportunity to teach the little dragon a lesson. ”Look, there are trees here, but thereʼs not a single leaf on the ground. Isnʼt this strange?”

”This…” The little azure dragon pondered for a moment. ”Perhaps they were blown away by the strong winds?”

”Why didnʼt it sweep you away?” the large black dog sneered, ”Even if the strong winds continue, you should still be able to see the leaves fluttering in the wind, and when the winds stop, there would definitely be fallen leaves on the ground.”

”Now, do you see any leaves in the air, or fallen leaves on the ground?”

The little azure dragon was instantly rendered speechless.

In terms of battle prowess at the same cultivation level, the little azure dragon was definitely stronger than the large black dog. However, in terms of experience, the little azure dragon couldnʼt compare to the large black dog.

In the Genesis World, how long had the large black dog been alive for?

All the Saints in history added together may not have lived as long as the large black dog.

Thus, Ling Han and the large black dogʼs reactions in some details far surpassed that of the little azure dragon and Brother Monkey. This was something coming from the fact that they had experienced enough, and could not be helped.

”Then tell me, whatʼs going on?” the little azure dragon asked.

Ling Han had also been thinking about this problem this entire time, and he said, ”Firstly, these leaves will never wilt, and secondly, some kind of living creatures are living underground. They specialize in eating fallen leaves, and will be eaten the moment they fall.”

However, the second possibility was too small.

The falling of leaves should have happened at all times. After all, this forest was so big, but as far as they could see, could they possibly see any leaves falling?

”Wonʼt we know if we pluck a leaf and take a look?” Brother Monkey said.

Instead of analyzing for such a long time here, they might as well make a move and give it a try!

This was Brother Monkeyʼs train of thought. He would always use the simplest method to deal with problems, regardless of whether this method was dangerous or not.

…There were few members of the line of the Battle Saint Emperor… Er, he couldnʼt complain anymore.

Ling Han warned himself that he had to change.

Brother Monkey walked to the side of a large tree, and stretched out a hand to grab at a leaf.

There was a gap of about nine meters between him and this tree leaf, but with his strength, to say nothing of a gap of nine meters, even if there was a gap of 90,000 meters, it would still be a piece of cake for him.

However, they discovered that under this move from Brother Monkey, the tree leaf did not move at all.

Yi?

Although Brother Monkey definitely wouldnʼt waste much power on a leaf, a nine-star Venerate actually couldnʼt even pluck a single leaf. This was strange.

What was going on?

Brother Monkey was also stunned for a moment. If this was Ling Han, he would definitely activate his eye technique to take a closer look. No matter what, he would have to study it. However, Brother Monkeyʼs thoughts were not so roundabout. He directly increased the power of his movement.

Pa, a leaf was forcibly torn off by him.

However, the entire tree was trembling, as if it was a living creature.

Ling Han and the others were all stunned. This tree was far too strange.

He had not even finished the thought, when he saw that where the leaf stem had been severed, a blood-coloured insect that was three feet long had crawled out. There were streaks of yellowish-yellow lines on its body, and it had many small legs. It was squirming, which was incredibly disgusting.

This insect stared at Ling Han and the others, its small eyes exuding killing intent.

Xiu, this insect arched its body, and charged towards Ling Han.

F***!

Ling Han couldnʼt help but grit his teeth in pain. It wasnʼt him who had done it, so why was it targeting him?

ʼDo you think Iʼm easy to bully just because my cultivation level is low?ʼ

”Haha!” The large black dog and little azure dragon immediately laughed.

Ling Han shook his head, and pressed down with his hand. This insect was under his control, and it hovered in midair.

”Sect Master-level!”

”Hiss, as a little insect, this is very awesome.”

The large black dog and little azure dragon said one after another.

Ferocious beasts wouldnʼt cultivate, so they could naturally grow to the corresponding cultivation level. Generally speaking, however, ferocious beasts that could reach a higher cultivation level were all famous breeds such as Primordial Demonic Elephant, Green Patterned Black Python, and so on.

This insect that was obviously parasitizing on a tree branch could actually reach the level of Sect Master. This was very illogical.

It should be known that though wild beasts would be able to reach the corresponding cultivation level after they matured, they still had to have enough ”nourishment”.

Just think, a Sect Master was already powerful enough to be regarded as a great elite. How much energy would one need to expend to raise such a ferocious beast?

This great tree could actually raise it?

Furthermore… there might not be just one.

”Letʼs try again.”

They plucked a leaf again, and sure enough, a second blood-colored insect appeared. However, after plucking the third leaf, no insect appeared, but after the fourth leaf, it came again.

After plucking a hundred leaves in a row, they came to a rough conclusion. This tree was indeed infested with a large number of insects. For every ten leaves, there were about seven parasitic insects.

This was an astounding number. Just how large was this forest?

They were all Sect Master-level insects?

Hiss!

Now, the dozens of insects were all squirming, wanting to break free from Ling Hanʼs control, and attack him.

Ling Han snapped his fingers, and pa, pa, pa, these insects all turned into bloody foam.

Mere Sect Masters actually dared to be impudent in front of him? He was someone who could insta-kill the majority of nine-star Venerates.

”These insects are much weaker than normal Sect Masters,” he added.

”However, an abundance of ants can bite an elephant to death. If all the insects in this forest were really provoked, no one would be able to bear it,” the large black dog bared his teeth and said.

Meanwhile, the little azure dragon was curious. ”Could it be that theseare all Celestial Trees? Otherwise, how could they have nurtured so many Sect Master-level Blood Insects?”

With these words, the four of them were slightly excited.

One black tree could nurture several hundred Blood Insects; how nutritious would that be? And this kind of tree… there was a whole forest of them.

”Come, try cutting one,” they all said.

In any case, there were so many trees, so they could use one to test it out. Even if it was damaged, it would be bearable.

They had not made their move, when they felt a wave of aura coming from behind them.

The four of them turned around, only to see Origin, Ding Shu, Myriad Dao and the others rapidly approaching.

Aside from them, the Imperial Sons also followed behind, and the Dao Childs were even further behind.

”Wait first,” Ling Han said.

How fast was the speed of a Venerate? Xiu, xiu, xiu! Origin and the others descended one after another.

”Yi, there are so many insect corpses here,” Myriad Dao immediately said.

”The aura of Sect Master-level.” Origin also said.

”So smelly!” Shui Qingchang waved her delicate hand in front of her nose.

They were all curious. Why were there so many insects all over the ground?
