Ling Yun pinched the resentful spirit and said in a deep voice, "Are you still hiding something from me?"
He didn't believe these trees were really that simple!
Sure enough, the resentful spirit had been frightened by Ling Yun and hurriedly began explaining.
These Death Trees were controlled by a tree demon. The tree demon was incredibly powerful, serving the Eight Treasures Heavenly Emperor and controlling the entire Poison Forest.
The Death Trees themselves were enormous reservoirs of venom. Even if they were destroyed, the venom inside their trunks would not disappear. Instead, it would spill directly onto the ground and remain there for a long time without dispersing.
And they were being controlled, which made things even more troublesome.
Trees containing such potent venom made passage completely impossible. Miaoxin tried throwing a hard iron chain onto the green venom, but the moment the two-finger-thick chain sank into it, it was corroded away without a trace.
"Damn, Amitabha... This poison is way too strong."
Miaoxin sucked in a sharp breath.
"Good grief, this venom is vicious!" This wasn't venom at all—it was practically corpse-melting water!
"Just the smell of these vapors is enough to kill someone, let alone getting sprayed directly. If someone stepped in it, they probably wouldn't be able to lift their second foot. One leg would be dissolved clean through, and they'd eventually be poisoned to death."
The Demon Moon Empress narrowed her eyes.
"Can't we carefully walk through the forest? These trees are dense, but compared to the spacing between the ice spikes, there's much more room. Walking through should be relatively easy. As long as we don't damage the trees, wouldn't that work?" Miaoxin suggested.
The trees were extremely dense, packed tightly together, but because they were so large, their branches and leaves spread far
