now.
Luo Feng and his two companions walked at the front, their expressions cautious, their auras emanating from them, ready to deal with any potential dangers around them at any moment.
However, the further they went, the thicker the illusionary mist became, even taking on a pinkish hue as it filled the space.
Without the protection of the Cloud Illusion Pill, even Luo Feng and his two companions, who were at the Peak God Emperor Realm, probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for long.
Suddenly, Luo Feng and his two companions, along with Mu Fusheng and his group of four, stopped in their tracks, their eyes fixed intently on the road ahead.
They knew why they hadn't encountered a single Devil Beast in this dangerous place marked in red.
In front of them, and to their left and right sides.
Within that thick pink fog.
Huge, Devil Beast corpses lay pitifully on the swamp.
Traces of black energy clung to its body, tearing at the rotting flesh!
what happened?
Has anyone been here?
The aura hadn't dissipated, which meant that the person who killed these Devil Beast hadn't gone far!
Luo Feng's face showed shock, "In this mist, the one who could kill so many God Emperor Realm Devil Beast must be at least as powerful as us, or even..."
higher!
Mu Fusheng frowned slightly, his body tensed slightly, and he silently released his Divine Sense sense.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from their side.
"Oh? I didn't expect there to be someone with such powerful Divine Sense energy in this place."
Mu Fusheng immediately turned his head and locked onto the other person.
The others then looked over as well.
A tall, slender man dressed in black, with black markings on his face, looked at them with a broad smile.
What horrified them most was...
The man was holding the carcass of a massive Swamp Behemoth in each of his hands!
A black aura permeated the area above.
Clearly, these Devil Beast were killed by this man in black.
However, what terrified Mu Fusheng the most was not these Devil Beast.
Rather, it was his ability to perceive the release of his own Divine Sense.
It should be noted that Mu Fusheng concealed his Divine Sense when he released it.
Moreover, given the strength of his divine soul, even Luo Feng and Xu Luo, two other powerful individuals who also need to cultivate their divine souls, would not be able to detect him easily!
Seemingly sensing Mu Fusheng's thoughts, the man in black chuckled and said, "I know what you're thinking. Our clan has an innate and unique ability to perceive things like the divine soul."
At this moment, Luo Feng said with a solemn expression, "I know almost all the powerful figures in the Cloud Dream Star Region. Who are you?"
" Tu Wenheng." The man made no attempt to hide his identity, smiling as he said, "I'm a wandering knight-errant, not really belonging to your Cloud Dream Star Region."
"However, the fact that you were able to get here proves that you are quite capable. How about we join forces?"
"Join forces?" Ye Qiubai asked, puzzled.
"That's right." Tu Wenheng nodded, casually tossing the two Swamp Behemoth in his hands aside, sending mud flying.
"You've come here, presumably for this very thing. If that's the case, wouldn't it be more efficient if we joined forces?"
Xiao Hei frowned and said, "But we don't know your purpose."
Xiao Hei felt a strange sense of familiarity with Tu Wenheng's aura.
Tu Wenheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, what you need probably doesn't conflict with what I need. My main concern is honing my skills."
honing one's skills?
Luo Feng and the other two looked at each other strangely.
To undergo trials in Forbidden Zone of Life —is this a method a normal person could even conceive of?
Moreover, if one comes to the Forbidden Zone of Life for training, how could one possibly not seek out secret treasures?
Seemingly fearing that Ye Qiubai and the others would refuse, Tu Wenheng smiled again and said, "If you don't join forces with me, I'm sure you won't be able to survive in this place, or... you might not even be able to find a way out."
Luo Feng and the other two's expressions tightened.
"What he said... is true. It's too difficult to get out of this place. Under the cover of the illusionary mist, it's like a maze. Sooner or later, we'll get lost here under the siege of Devil Beast and the depletion of Spiritual Qi."
Yun Ze then stepped forward and said, "In that case, let's cooperate."
Their strength is definitely not inferior to theirs, and will only be stronger!
Collaborating with Tu Wenheng is currently the best solution.
Upon seeing this Ye Qiubai and his three companions...
All I could do was nod.
Only Mu Fusheng and Xiao Hei looked at Tu Wenheng with slightly serious expressions, seemingly lost in thought.
The group followed behind Tu Wenheng.
As they walked, Tu Wenheng asked, "Do you know why the illusionary mist in this area is so much denser than in other places?"
Several people shook their heads.
Even Luo Feng and his two companions were unaware of this.
After all, no one dared to explore this area.
Tu Wenheng seemed to know this area extremely well, speaking fluently, "Because this place is closest to the Illusion Realm Core."
" Illusion Realm Core?" This was the first time Luo Feng and his companions had heard this term.
Ye Qiubai quickly realized, "You mean, the illusionary mist in the Cloud Dream Marsh is emitted from the Illusion Realm Core, and this place is the closest to the Illusion Realm Core?"
"Smart." Tu Wenheng nodded affirmatively and said, "This is also the most precious treasure in the Cloud Dream Marsh. I suppose you're after this, aren't you?"
Although that's not right.
However, Xiao Hei's purpose cannot be revealed.
So Ye Qiubai nodded.
At this moment, Mu Fusheng's telepathic message also reached the minds of Ye Qiubai and the other two.
"This person is not simple. I must proceed with caution. The fact that he was able to detect my soul power immediately means that he must have also cultivated his soul."
Fang Qiong wondered, "He doesn't seem to be affected by the fog of the illusion..."
Xiao Hei nodded and said, "His aura feels somewhat familiar to me; it's like I've seen him somewhere before."
Ye Qiubai made the final decision, "It seems there aren't any better options right now. We can only take it one step at a time."
After that, the group didn't say anything more, and Tu Wenheng took action to clear away the swamp Devil Beast along the way.
This gave Xu Luo and the other two a misconception.
So-called Forbidden Zone of Life, they don't seem so remarkable after all?
But they never imagined that if it weren't for the Cloud Illusion Pill and Tu Wenheng's slaying of those swamp Devil Beast, they would have already been lost here, their bodies sinking into the swamp...
They followed Tu Wenheng to the foot of a bent-necked tree.
At the center of the crooked tree trunk is a pink bead.
The round bead emitted wisps of fragrance.
This must be the Illusion Realm Core.
Tu Wenheng's eyes flickered as he looked at Mu Fusheng and the others, and he smiled, "Once we break through the Illusion Realm Core, we'll be able to get out."
Mu Fusheng then raised a question, calmly saying, "Your strength should be greater than ours, so why don't you handle this yourself?"
Tu Wenheng's eyes narrowed, then his expression subtly shifted to a smile. "My methods have no effect on this core, so I wanted you to try your luck."
Although Tu Wenheng's expression changed very quickly.
However, Mu Fusheng still managed to discover it.
Tu Wenheng is hiding something...
