The Foundation Establishment cultivator exclaimed in horror, "I... I've lost contact with all my Tribulation Beasts!"

"Ow!"

The last remaining dog king let out a mournful howl.

"All six are dead ends?"

Su Yang was greatly alarmed.

The problem is they have no way back!

The passage where they had encountered the puppets earlier had long been sealed off; the rest was an endless wilderness with no end in sight.

In other words, everyone either chooses any path, or they are trapped here and die!

"Sister?"

Chen Sanshi looked at the blind woman, hoping to get some advice.

The latter simply shook his head, clearly unable to determine which path was better.

Disciples from other sects had also arrived at the fork in the road long ago. One of the bolder ones shouted, "Never mind, fellow disciples who want to come with me, let's take the leftmost path!"

"..."

After wasting most of the day, more and more people lost their patience and randomly chose a path to continue walking.

In the end, Chen Sanshi had no choice but to follow the crowd and choose the most crowded side road, leading his fellow disciples forward.

Next.

They encountered such a fork in the road several times in a row, and each time they could only choose blindly.

"Someone is following us."

Jiang Xiyue suddenly transmitted her voice.

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi gave a brief response.

He had long known that even if he entered the secret realm as "Lu Shengzhi," he would still be tested or even attacked.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't the Guiyuan Sect that followed them, but rather a group of rogue cultivators mixed in with the families.

presumably……

It is because of the sacred decree of Kunxu.

The Great Han is an ally of the Holy Sect. The Thirty-Six Sects of Tianshui and the large aristocratic families have vast empires, and any move they make will have far-reaching consequences. They will certainly not dare to disobey.

However, the smaller the power, the less reverence it has for the sacred decree.

As the saying goes, "the mountains are high and the emperor is far away," especially for rogue cultivators. As long as there is enough benefit, they would not hesitate to defy the holy decree or even join the demonic cultivators.

Lu Zhao and the others were clearly like that.

Fortunately, although this person's cultivation level was slightly higher than his, it wasn't impossible to deal with him; he just needed to be careful and cautious.

Chen Sanshi gestured to his senior sister to pay attention to what was behind them, while he focused his attention on what was in front of him.

The road ahead didn't have any more forks, but it became exceptionally long, taking two days and two nights to travel. Only after the endless yellow sand did things gradually change ahead.

Like an oasis suddenly appearing in the desert, towering trees have sprung up on the once barren wasteland!

The branches of towering ancient trees intertwine to form a dark green dome, shattering the last ray of sunlight in the gnarled vines. Sticky, purplish-black mist rises from the ground, each wisp of miasma twisting and climbing like a living thing, carrying with it the sweet, pungent smell of decaying leaves and fermenting animal bones.

On the surface of a broken stone tablet, the three large characters "Qian Zhang Lin" are engraved.

Beside the stone tablet stands a golden toad stepping on an array plate. It looks up at the sky with its huge mouth open, and its metal tongue is curled up in a hunting shape, but it is empty.

"It seems."

Su Yang analyzed, "If we want to continue forward, we have to get through this Thousand Miasma Forest first!"

"It's just miasma, nothing serious. We can just cast a couple of spells and get through it!"

"..."

Some people are eager to try.

Chen Sanshi raised his hand, signaling his fellow disciples not to act rashly and to observe how the others would proceed.

Ahead of them, the disciples of the Golden Core Sect's Divine Curse Valley arrived first.

A tall Foundation Establishment cultivator, dressed in a pure white robe, was seen making hand seals and chanting incantations, and his surroundings were immediately enveloped in golden light.

Second-tier spell, Mysterious Body Protection Incantation.

Relying on his mastery of the protective spell, this man rushed into the miasma without a word. However, in just a moment, the golden light dissipated under the erosion of the miasma. His expression tightened, and he hurriedly sealed his seven orifices, trying to retreat the way he came.

But those poisonous miasmas were like tiny poisonous insects, burrowing into the meridians through the pores.

The disciples of Shenzhou Valley let out a shrill wail, their skin turning black at a visible speed. After only a few breaths, they collapsed to the ground, unable to move, and died in agony.

A dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't even last half a cup of tea's time!

Looking at this forest again, dark green sap seeps from the roots of ancient trees that resemble dragons, hissing as it drips and corrodes the rocks. Beneath the humus-covered surface, one can vaguely see half-hidden bronze fragments, engraved with inscriptions that are no longer legible. Combined with the fresh corpses, the forest appears even more eerie and dangerous.

"I have a miasma-avoiding pill!"

Another disciple from the Fuyou Palace took out a pill: "This Miasma-Avoiding Pill is a third-grade pill, personally refined by our sect leader. It will definitely allow us to pass through this forest!"

He swallowed the pill and flew into the forest on his sword.

however……

In just a short while, everyone witnessed it fall from mid-air, crawl and struggle on the ground, and then get entangled by a large number of vines that rose from the depths of the forest until it disappeared completely.

In the blink of an eye, two Foundation Establishment cultivators perished, shocking all the cultivators who instinctively took several steps back.

"Peak Master Lu!"

Su Yang swallowed hard: "Do you have any solutions for this miasma?"

Chen Sanshi shook his head.

Based on his perception, even if he, a Golden Core cultivator, were to enter, he could only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

But the problem is...

Heaven knows how big this forest is; you might not even be able to reach the central area in the time it takes to burn an incense stick, let alone cross it.

"Don't be impatient."

Chen Sanshi commanded, "Everyone, spread out and see if there are any other traps, or if you need to take a detour."

He used his magic to protect himself and moved closer to the edge of the poisonous miasma, wanting to observe the situation more closely.

Hidden within the dense, black vegetation are rows of white bones, from which clusters of eerie blue flames rise, and blood-winged mayflies emerge from the tree burls, swirling the miasma into a vortex.

This forest of miasma is filled with rich spiritual energy, and there are many spiritual beasts and poisonous insects. Strange and wonderful spiritual plants also grow on the ground.

As for the deeper parts, they are no longer visible.

Chen Sanshi withdrew his gaze and looked again at the money toad next to the stone tablet. He noticed that the coins carved on the toad's back looked very similar to "Luoxiao Tongbao".

He immediately approached and bent down to carefully examine the array plate under the toad's body.

Fourth-order formation...

Although Chen Sanshi could not decipher it, he could vaguely see that the formation was related to space.

Could it be...

Once the formation is activated, will it be able to lead everyone through the forest?

However, he did not find any grooves on the array plate to place spirit stones, and even injecting magic power into it did not produce any reaction.

Chen Sanshi abandoned the array plate and began to study the toad. At the same time, he took out the "Luo Xiao Tong Bao" and found that it could fit perfectly into the narrow space where the toad's tongue was curled up.

Without hesitation, he placed a Luo Xiao Tong Bao coin directly on his tongue.

The next moment, the dust-covered toad began to hum without warning, its pupils flashed with spiritual light, its metal body began to tremble, and the coins carved on its back lit up one after another. Finally, as if it had come to life, it swallowed the Luo Xiao Tong Bao directly into its belly!

At the same time, Chen Sanshi's consciousness connected with the inside of the toad.

To his astonishment, he discovered that there was actually a shop inside!
