Green Mist

After passing through here, the path they took from then on would be relatively safer.

Although it's still a dense forest, it's no longer as dangerous as the man-eating tree.

As they walked along the path, they found themselves occasionally admiring the beautiful scenery of the woods.

"Was this road deliberately created?"

Xu Qingqiu walked along the road with some curiosity, looking at the scenery ahead and saying, "I wonder what the end will be like."

"You'll know once you go and see for yourself."

Ning Qi followed and looked around at the dense forest. "But this path is really long. We've been walking for so long, and we still haven't reached the end."

"Master, why do I feel like we're just going around in circles?"

The Medicine Spirit flew around, observing its surroundings, and couldn't help but speak.

"Going in circles? Haven't you noticed that the scenery in the woods here is different every time?"

"What are you talking about? It's just that this place is too big!"

Xu Qingqiu smiled, looked ahead, and said, "I feel like we need to find a place to rest tonight; leaving this place is out of the question!"

"It's tomorrow! Let's hurry on our way, we'll definitely make it out!"

"Master, actually... I also feel like we're going in circles."

At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Cat, who had rarely spoken, also spoke.

"Oh? Really? Let me see!"

Ning Qi became more vigilant after hearing his words.

If it were just Medicine Spirit saying that, it wouldn't be so bad.

However, if even the intelligent Nine-Tailed Cat said so, then this matter is worth investigating further.

Then, it leaped into the air.

Once here, he was able to fly into the void, no longer as restricted as he had been in the hilly area.

"Call!"

When Ning Qi arrived above the dense forest, he discovered that the path they were walking on was flanked by a continuous expanse of dense forest.

These dense forests completely covered everything in sight.

They were densely packed, like locusts.

The only path they were on was unobstructed, as if some kind of Barrier was restricting them.

This is an insurmountable barrier.

What happened?

Ning Qi murmured, his brows furrowed.

"This is..."

Before anyone knew it, Xu Qingqiu also flew over and hovered beside him, looking at everything in astonishment.

"Have no idea."

Ning Qi shook his head and sighed, "It seems we're not very lucky; there are traps everywhere here."

"I'm wondering if we shouldn't have followed these hills here in the first place?"

Xu Qingqiu's beautiful eyes narrowed as she continued to scan the dense forest before her.

For a moment, it was impossible to discern what was going on here.

"Master, do these trees move? We feel like they're watching us, like they're people."

The Medicine Spirit also flew onto Ning Qi's shoulder and spoke to Ning Qi in a low voice.

How did you find out?

Ning Qi listened to Medicine Spirit's words, narrowed his eyes, and looked around at the situation.

He hasn't noticed anything amiss yet.

"I don't know, but I always have this feeling."

"It always feels eerie."

Medicine Spirit shook her head vigorously and shrank her neck.

"Perhaps it's because it was refined from various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, giving it a unique sensitivity to these trees."

Xu Qingqiu listened to Medicine Spirit's words and then spoke to Ning Qi.

"That's possible!"

Ning Qi nodded, narrowing his eyes slightly. "Hmph, since that's the case, I'll test their strength."

"I'd like to see who's playing tricks."

"Don't act impulsively, what if..."

Xu Qingqiu wanted to stop it.

However, Ning Qi gave her a reassuring look. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Yes, don't be afraid, my master is very strong."

"He still has the Chaos Blazing Flame; at worst, he can burn them all!"

Medicine Spirit was just waiting for Ning Qi to make a move, and when she heard that Ning Qi was going to make a move, she was extremely excited.

Meanwhile, Ning Qi had already arrived at the dense forest.

His eyes were fixed on the strange trees, then he took out the Chaos Sword.

He quietly activated the Immortal-Demon Power.

"Call!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and then waved his hand.

A streak of Sword Qi energy burst forth.

In an instant, he slashed into the woods in front of him.

"Click!"

The rows of trees in front of them were instantly cut in half.

"Puff!"

A stream of green mist gushed forth from within the tree trunk.

The surging tide enveloped the dense forest in front of him.

What's going on?

Xu Qingqiu immediately tensed up upon seeing the situation before her.

They landed directly not far from Ning Qi, already prepared for defense.

"Don't worry, let's see what's going on!"

Ning Qi did not rush in to see what was going on.

He simply waved his hand gently, signaling Xu Qingqiu to step back a little.

As she stepped back, Ning Qi also took a few steps back to continue observing the situation.

After a short while, the bluish mist in front of us gradually dissipated.

"Master, this... the tree has been restored!"

At that moment, Medicine Spirit exclaimed in surprise.

He was the first to clearly see what was happening inside.

The trees that Ning Qi had just cut down have returned to their original state, as if nothing had happened.

On the contrary, it became even more upright.

"Something's definitely fishy!"

Xu Qingqiu looked at the situation with a solemn expression.

"Then I'll have to try using my Blazing Flame!"

As Ning Qi spoke, he immediately activated the Red Fire Immortal Art.

White Blazing Flame immediately swirled around his hands.

"Go!"

Ning Qi waved his hands, and immediately Water Runes appeared around him.

It transformed into rings of Blazing Flame light, shooting towards the forest in front of them.

In just a moment, it swallowed up the forest in front of it.

"Sizzle..."

In an instant, a raging fire broke out.

These chaotic Blazing Flame burned so fiercely that even the void itself was scorched and distorted.

"Burn it!"

Ning Qi's hands flew, unleashing the Blazing Flame from his palms.

The woods in front of them were completely swallowed up.

Even the distant mountains have been set ablaze.

In just a moment, the place was completely engulfed in flames.

The crackling and burning sounds were heard all around.

"Great! We finally succeeded!"

Medicine Spirit danced with joy, jumping and hopping excitedly in front of them.

"Call!"

However, at this moment, gusts of wind began to surge in from afar.

Even amidst this fierce wind, a green aura still surged.

In just a moment, it enveloped the entire dense forest.

In an instant, even Ning Qi's Blazing Flame were engulfed.

"This... can't be extinguished, can it?"

"Even the man-eating tree can't handle your Blazing Flame!"

Looking at the situation before her, Xu Qingqiu immediately showed a hint of despair.

If none of this works, then they're truly trapped here and will die.

"Damn it, it seems this isn't just a problem with the dense forest."

"My Blazing Flame have been transported to a void."

Ning Qi could sense what was happening to his own Blazing Flame and spoke to the others.

"What? I was teleported here?"

Xu Qingqiu looked at him in disbelief.

"Yes, they couldn't put out my fire; they were teleported away."

"Otherwise, this place will be burned to the ground by my Blazing Flame sooner or later."

Ning Qi nodded, looking at the dense forest ahead. "I feel like I should have come up with a solution, it's just a bit risky!"

What do you want to do? You don't want to go inside, do you?

Xu Qingqiu guessed Ning Qi's thoughts and couldn't help but ask.

"Indeed, since they can teleport you to other dimensions, I'd like to see what kind of dimension it is!"

Ning Qi nodded and took two steps forward.

"Master, don't be impulsive! This could teleport us somewhere!"

Seeing this, Medicine Spirit stood on his shoulder and pulled him forcefully.

But how can an arm twist a thigh?

They couldn't budge Ning Qi at all.

"That's settled then, you and Miss Xu can stay together."

"Keep going forward and see if you can find anything!"

"If that's not right, then I think you can turn back."

"At least these man-eating trees know how powerful I am. You're all on my side, so I doubt you'll dare to provoke us again!"

Ning Qi pointed to the way they had come from.

"I'm afraid we won't all be able to get out!"

Xu Qingqiu sighed, but a serious look appeared in her eyes. "However, I think you can give it a try."

"Perhaps you are right."

"If you succeed, we will be saved."

"Okay, then I'll go!"

"If you really can't get out, then wait for me to come back!"

Ning Qi nodded and patted Medicine Spirit's little head. "Remember to be good. Don't cause any trouble when I'm not around!"

"Yes, Master!"

Be careful!

Medicine Spirit nodded, a look of reluctance on her face.

"They're gone!"

Ning Qi waved at them.

He then walked straight into the dense forest in front of him.

When he went inside, the mist had not yet dissipated.

Ning Qi looked at the tree that had just been scorched and had not yet fully recovered.

"Call!"

Ning Qi spread his hands out and gathered white chaotic Blazing Flame on them.

"Hiss..."

The Blazing Flame flames caused the surrounding void to crackle and hiss.

It was as if the hem of a garment was fluttering in the wind.

"Go!"

Ning Qi continued deeper inside, not forgetting to send the Blazing Flame flying again.

"Call!"

Blazing Flame began to burn fiercely, igniting once again in the dense forest.

Ning Qi looked at everything before him, and then began to unleash the Blazing Flame from his palms incessantly.

As the Blazing Flame burned, ripples spread across the entire space.

Distorted and deformed.

"Call!"

Ning Qi began sprinting towards the heart of the fire.

At the same time, he concentrated all the Blazing Flame on his entire body.

At this moment, he was like a man of fire, his entire body engulfed in endless Blazing Flame.

He thus became one with the Blazing Flame burning in the dense forest.

We are inseparable.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, dozens of cracks suddenly appeared in the surrounding void.

These cracks began to engulf the Blazing Flame below.

Under this engulfing influence, the Blazing Flame began to soar into the sky.

It was swallowed up by the gap.

"I see."

Ning Qi looked at everything before him, then flew away.

"Whoosh!"

In just a moment, they arrived at the crevice.

Only then did he realize that even the Blazing Flame he had just ignited were burning wildly inside the crevice.

It turned this place into a sea of fire.

Ning Qi watched the situation unfold before him, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.

I want to see clearly what kind of place this is.

To avoid being discovered, the white, chaotic Blazing Flame always swirled around his entire body.

They couldn't tell the difference between the Blazing Flame and him at all.

This way, they avoided being discovered that someone had come in.

At the same time, just to be on the safe side, the chaotic Blazing Flame were continuously unleashed.

This made the fire burn even more fiercely.

"Call!"

"..."

A fierce wind arose, threatening to engulf his Blazing Flame.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

These fierce winds were no match for Ning Qi's chaotic Blazing Flame.

Instead, these Blazing Flame burned over an even larger area after coming into contact with the wider void.

Ning Qi hovered in the void, observing the situation, trying to figure out exactly what kind of place this was.

However, after wandering around for a while, he still couldn't find anything suspicious.

"Damn it, not a single clue?"

Ning Qi cursed, then his eyes lit up.

Suddenly, something occurred to me.

It directly condensed several clones of Immortal-Demon Power.

Similarly, these clones were also surrounded by chaotic Blazing Flame.

Subsequently, under his arrangement, these clones began to search the surrounding area with him.

At first, there were no discoveries, but later, some discoveries were gradually made.

This empty space is actually not that big.

It's similar to the plaza at the entrance of his Mountain Gate.

However, there are also some restrictive Formation within this space.

Ning Qi did not rush to manipulate these Restriction, but instead continued to observe.

After confirming that there were no other problems, they proceeded to one of the Restriction.

After he activated it, the Restriction first produced a ripple.

The next moment, a scene emerged from it.

It was right here in the dense forest passage where he had been before.

Within this Restriction, Xu Qingqiu and the others could be seen wandering aimlessly.

"What?"

Ning Qi stared wide-eyed, looking at the scene before him in disbelief.

I never expected it to turn out like this.

This means that their every move can be monitored from here.

He changed the Restriction again, and activated it once more after returning.

"Call!"

The next moment, he clearly saw that some mist was rising among these dense forests.

It was the same bluish mist they had seen earlier.

The mist began to spread, enveloping the dense forest in the area.

He then changed the Restriction to another one and continued to observe.

The problem was eventually discovered.

Below, which is the passage to the outside world, the situation is actually controlled from here.

So who was in control before?

If it wasn't deliberately controlled, how could there be a surge of green energy?

Ning Qi focused his attention on this space.

Throughout the entire process, he enveloped his body in Blazing Flame.

That's why they completely conceal their bodies, so that no one can discover their existence.

So, if we abandon the protection of the Blazing Flame, won't it attract the people here?

Or rather, let's see what exactly is causing this trouble, preventing us from leaving?

Ning Qi thought about it and made a decision.

"Call!"

The next moment, he immediately withdrew the Blazing Flame surrounding him.
