Lin Luo had also seized the chance to escape, only to discover that he had ventured deeper into Barren Mountain.
All around him stood Demon Trees like the ones that had nearly killed him.
At the sight, Lin Luo's expression darkened. It seemed he had not escaped danger at all, but had instead become surrounded.
Meanwhile, the Demon Trees, which should have remained motionless, began to change, each revealing a hideous ghostly face.
