• Qin Yan found at least five thousand Evil Spirits gathered beyond the valley entrance and retreated without being noticed.

• Qin Yan noticed on April 21st that the mountain walls were gradually narrowing and concluded that the road was not endless.

After fighting through the narrowing passage for fourteen days, Qin Yan emerged into a Black Vine Sea populated by powerful Vine Evil Spirits. As he cautiously climbed down, five Ice Plain Bears were fighting off more than ten Vine Evil Spirits nearby.

• On April 22, Qin Yan fought increasingly frequent Evil Spirits in a path too narrow for sweeping spear techniques and slept against a rock wall.

• Qin Yan squeezed through the crack and discovered a Black Vine Sea filled with powerful Vine Evil Spirits connected to the vines.
• Qin Yan began climbing down the cliff carefully, trying not to attract the attention of the Vine Evil Spirits below.
• Five Ice Plain Bears fought more than ten Vine Evil Spirits, smashing weaker ones with their paws and freezing or tearing apart stronger ones.

Qin Yan encountered two Ice Plain Bears who claimed the black mist blocked the forest’s outskirts, but they tried to ambush him. He defeated and interrogated them, learned about their group and the forest, then killed them.

• Qin Yan asked two Ice Plain Bears how to leave the black vine forest, and they told him the perimeter was blocked by strange black mist.

• Qin Yan knocked one bear unconscious and interrogated the other about the mist, the forest, and their group following Bear One Prodigy.
• Qin Yan killed both Ice Plain Bears after the interrogation.

After discovering that the Vine Forest was sealed by Black Mist, Qin Yan pushed toward its hidden core, suspecting that destroying it was his only way out. He reached the forest’s deepest point and found a gigantic, withered Black Flower whose sprawling vines appeared to form the entire forest.

• Qin Yan searched the Ice Plain Bears’ packs, gaining supplies, 1,100 Points, and ten drops of Grandmaster True Blood.

• Qin Yan realized that the vast black vine forest might consist entirely of branches from the colossal flower.

Qin Yan encountered Su Liuli near the dead Giant Flower, and the two agreed to cooperate over the four Yimu Spirit Hearts. Su Liuli explained that the treasures had been drained to Seventh Grade and that the black vines had killed previous contenders, leaving Qin Yan wary of the danger ahead.

• Qin Yan spotted Su Liuli among the gathered prodigies, and she approached him to propose cooperation.
• Qin Yan agreed to join forces with Su Liuli because they were both humans facing hostile alien factions.
• Su Liuli told Qin Yan that the four Yimu Spirit Hearts had once been Ninth-Rank treasures but had fallen to Seventh Grade as the vines drained their life energy.
• Su Liuli explained that the dead Giant Flower used the spirit hearts to sustain the vast cage of vines around them.
• Su Liuli showed Qin Yan the skeletons of former contenders and said the black vines had drained their life force and turned them into fertilizer.

Qin Yan learned that the four Yimu Spirit Hearts were guarded by powerful Vine Evil Spirits, so the prodigies waited until enough fighters gathered to assault the central area together. On April 30, Bear One and Xuan Shan organized the attack, and Qin Yan and Su Liuli joined the spearhead assigned to face the strongest guardians.

• Su Liuli explained that entering the central area summoned Third Grade Peak Vine Evil Spirits and four Third Grade Limit guardians, leading the prodigies to wait and combine their strength.
