The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Seeing Zeng Wenyu coming out of the tent, Mu Zhi walked to Zeng Wenyu's side and said, "This fog came out without a beginning or an end, but there is a strange smell in it."

"I can't smell anything, but Xiaoxue said there's the scent of her ancestors here," Zeng Wenyu looked at Xiaoxue who was still staring at the sea, "If it's as I guessed, then this White Mist Forest might really be left by Xiaoxue's ancestor, Senior Bai Miluo."

"No, I don't think this was left by the white dragon. Or even if it was left by the white dragon, it is no longer there now, because I smell a lot of blood and the smell of sea creatures in this white fog. We don't know why the white dragon left the white fog forest in the first place, but now this white fog forest is probably about to be controlled by the sea creatures."

After Mu Zhi finished speaking, before Zeng Wenyu could speak, Xiao Xue spoke up: "Yes, the scent of the ancestors is already very faint. If I hadn't spent so much time with the ancestors in my dreams, I might have subconsciously ignored such a faint smell."

Just as the two men and the snake were looking at the thick fog, a scream suddenly broke the silence shrouded by the fog. The sound came from the small earthen house. Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi looked at each other, and neither of them wanted to go over. After all, neither of them knew what was in the thick fog.

The screams in the thick fog gradually increased until the dazzling sunlight dispersed the fog and the screams stopped. At this time, Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi suddenly discovered that they were no longer at the place where they had set up the tent before, but were now in a forest.

The forest was lush and green, but the trees were of strange shapes and had human-face-like patterns all over them.

Looking at the forest that suddenly appeared, Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi frowned slightly. They had already guessed that they had entered the white mist forest.

They were standing there and looking carefully at the situation around them when suddenly a rustling sound was heard not far away. A man suddenly jumped out from the dense woods with fear on his face and blood on his body. Several branches were chasing him quickly from behind. Just when the man was about to run in front of the two of them, the branches finally caught up with him, wrapped him tightly and dragged him backwards.

"Help! Help me! Help me!"

The sound came from the mouth of the person who was dragged away, but Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi did not move. They had already seen that the man was not a living person. His body was full of death, and even his eyes were no longer normal pupils, but pure white with tiny vines growing inside. It was obvious that this was not a "human". This was the trap of the white mist forest.

After that, Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi encountered such things several times again, but the two were not fooled at all. Perhaps he felt that the two had seen through him, so Bai Wulin never used such means to harass them again.

"Well, it looks like this won't happen again for a while. Now we can explore the White Mist Forest."

Mu Zhi nodded. Although she was not afraid of this place with her level of cultivation, she could still feel that there was some inexplicable suppression on her level of cultivation, so she became cautious.

Seeing Mu Zhi's cautious look, Zeng Wenyu took her hand, asked Mu Zhi to follow him, and pulled her to a tree.

The lines on this tree are the densest among all the nearby trees. These lines look like human faces. These faces are vivid, just like real people's faces. Even each face looks different, from young children to old people with weathered faces. The demeanor and expression of each face are different.

Looking at the tree in front of him, Zeng Wenyu took out an axe from his storage ring and swung it hard at the tree. A cry was heard, and all the faces on the bark opened their eyes at the same time, all looking at Zeng Wenyu holding the axe in his hand.

The crying and shouting came from the face that Zeng Wenyu was chopping with the axe in his hand. The axe blade was hitting the right center of the face. The mouth of that face was open and crying sounds continued to come out of it.

Even after the axe was pulled down from the tree, the crying did not stop. Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi could both see that the wound on the face caused by the axe was slowly oozing red liquid. A strong smell of blood emanated from the red liquid. As the red liquid continued to flow out, the crying of the face gradually weakened. At the same time, the face that looked quite young gradually shrank and finally disappeared.

Red liquid continuously flowed from the tree to the ground and seeped into the fallen leaves. Not long after, the two saw a small bulge suddenly appear on the fallen leaves, and then a small sapling emerged from the bulge. In just a few seconds, it grew into a tree more than two meters tall. However, there was no human face on this tree. It was just an ordinary tree.

After the crying stopped, all the faces on the tree did not close their eyes. They stared at the axe in Zeng Wenyu's hand with fanatical expressions on their faces. Unfortunately, they could not speak, and Zeng Wenyu didn't know why they were so fanatical.

The face disappeared after being chopped by the axe, but the wound on the tree was still there, and the wound no longer oozed the red juice with a bloody smell.

Looking at the wound on the tree, Zeng Wenyu reached out his hand as if possessed by a ghost, grabbed one side of the wound and tore it hard. A piece of bark and wood was torn off the tree by Zeng Wenyu. At the same time, a large amount of red liquid spurted out of the tree with a horrified sound, spraying on the small tree that had just grown next to it.

The screams of fear came from the faces on the tree. As the red liquid spurted out, the faces aged rapidly. At the same time, the whole tree began to wither and shrink. But in contrast, the small tree that was sprayed with the red liquid suddenly rose from the ground. It kept getting thicker and its height kept increasing with time.

As all the red liquid sprayed out, the old tree withered completely, and only a rotten dead wood was left. But in contrast, the newly grown small tree replaced the old tree and became a towering tree. The only difference was that the lines on its body were normal, and there were no human faces.

Just when Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi were trying to find the next tree, they felt an evil energy rushing towards the newly grown towering tree from all directions underground. The tree kept shaking under the impact of this energy, and then the patterns on its bark began to change, and human faces slowly appeared on it one after another.
