All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 199 Black Tree in the Graveyard
Quiet.

In the utterly destroyed depression, there was only a suffocating silence.

The windows in the shrine were closed, dripping with blood.

The small, dilapidated earth god temple was stained with flowing blood, which meandered down the stone platform beneath the shrine.

Tick ​​tock!

A drop of scalding blood fell onto Chen Xi's delicate and clean cheek, instantly snapping the Level 3 official out of his daze!
"oops!"

Chen Xi immediately smeared the scalding blood on her right cheek, leaving a blood-red scar on her delicate, jade-like skin!

hot!
It's too hot!
Within his own domain, the Skinwalker's blood boiled to an indescribable degree! Even now, after cooling due to the Skinwalker's death, the temperature of that blood was still at least several hundred degrees!
"Sister Xie, are you alright?"

At this moment, the delicate and beautiful young girl paid no attention to the scars on her face, but rushed towards the woman in the cheongsam who was slumped on the ground!
"fine."

The woman in the cheongsam, whose body was bulging with flesh and whose blood was boiling, slowly stood up on her own.

Tang Yao, who had already melted into half a lump of iron, clicked his tongue and said, "That's outrageous, Xie Yao."

"Your internal organs should have been cooked by now, and you've recovered already?"

"I have opened my spleen orifice."

At this moment, Xie Yao straightened her cheongsam and looked at the quiet shrine.

She bowed deeply to the shrine and said, "Thank you for your help, True Lord. I will bring offerings in three days. Please tell me what you need."

Xie Yao bowed deeply to the Earth God Temple, and Chen Xi also knelt down beside her. Even Tang Yao, whose body was practically melting, creaked and twisted as he bowed to the quiet shrine.

Just now, a giant hand grabbed the head of a level 6 leather walker and swallowed it without any resistance. The being in the shrine must be a level 3!

At the third rank, one can already be called a "True Lord," which is a title corresponding to a certain rank.

However, a cold wind blew softly through the depression, yet all was silent.

There was no sound coming from the shrine.

The three of them dared not utter a sound and bowed for a full hundred breaths.

Ten steps below the shrine, countless fluorescent flowers swayed, eagerly devouring the blood. Then, visibly, the fluorescent flowers merged with the blood, transforming into a huge, dark blue bud, from which layers of sharp, blood-red teeth emerged!

There was still no movement inside the shrine.

Xie Yao bent over even lower.

“True Lord, I will come here to make offerings in three days.”

After saying that, Xie Yao slowly backed away, carrying the melted Tang Yao, and walked out of the depression with Chen Xi.

Once outside the area of ​​the Earth God Temple, Xie Yao's speed immediately increased!

The Level 6 Extreme Skin Walker just died, so there shouldn't be any other Skin Walkers around here!
We must leave now!

As Xie Yao moved, she kept an eye on the telescope bracelet on her wrist, constantly adjusting her direction.

Even though it was only a kilometer away from the safe zone, the location was still uncertain due to the special nature of the place! Ji Ran was able to find it accurately because his primordial spirit sensed the earth god temple and had a precise coordinate.

"That True Lord is probably stronger than level 7. He doesn't even look down on the two of us second-tier retainers."

Tang Yao, who was being carried, suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yao nodded and said, "I don't know why He didn't take over the Zhenjun Temple, but instead occupied a local temple in the 'graveyard'."

"But this is a good thing. The cemetery is right next to the safe zone, yet it's the largest and most dangerous treasure trove. The presence of this local shrine within it, if it can protect us, is equivalent to a safe zone!"

“In the cemetery, we cannot accurately locate the safe zone, but the local earth god temple in the cemetery can be accurately located.”

Outside the safe zone of the Corridor of the Gods, the area of ​​the Black Forest is referred to by the Walkers of the Gods as the "Graveyard".

If a celestial being is nearing the end of their lifespan, or suffers an injury that even the local temple cannot heal, then if they do not wish to die, they have only one place to go—the black jungle on the outskirts of the safe zone.

Every ancient black tree in this jungle is a life-binding artifact! Its effect is to freeze time, but the price is the obliteration of consciousness, and... fusion.

A black forest stretching for hundreds of miles, with countless life-giving artifacts rooted underground, has created this eerie place.

This is the largest treasure trove and perilous area outside the Jia Chen District of the Heavenly Corridor—the [Graveyard]. The creatures that walk in the Black Forest will merge into monsters, constantly donning the skins of different creatures.

They are called "skin walkers".

However, there are also areas in this forest where time can flow backward. Once found, those who are seriously injured, dying, or nearing the end of their lifespan can recover and walk out of them!

Such travelers do exist.

Some travelers who lost themselves and merged into monsters accidentally entered the Reverse Flow Zone, regained their human form, and returned to society!

Over time, all travelers, including those from other areas who had nowhere else to go, would enter the Black Forest of Jia Chen District.

This place gradually came to be known as the "graveyard," a true graveyard for travelers.

"Leave first, I'll come over in three days."

Tang Yao pondered, "I think he must have retreated from the depths to heal his wounds."

"If one does not make offerings to such a being, one should be able to obtain good things."

At this point, Tang Yao's expression changed, and he cursed, "Our own people are always a traitor!"

"Those officials who occupy the local temples are all cunning and shrewd, they're like ghosts, they can't possibly bestow anything good upon them!"

"A complete loss!"

"Instead of wasting your time on this, you might as well upgrade your telescope bracelet."

At this moment, Chen Xi, who was standing next to him, frowned and said, "If your bracelet hadn't only detected level 6 and not the extreme realm, we wouldn't have gone to cause trouble for that leather walker!"

"If it weren't for that True Lord, the three of us would really be dead."

"My mine."

Tang Yao bowed his head and admitted that it was indeed a misjudgment on his part. In the dangerous graveyard, such a mistake was practically tantamount to suicide.

"But two black tree saplings did indeed sprout from that skin-wearing walker's body!"

Tang Yao looked regretful and said, "The Time Black Tree cannot be dug up and cultivated. It has a very small probability of taking root and growing on the skin walkers who have been wandering for a long time, forming seedlings that can be harvested."

"The value of seedlings is something even a third-tier cultivator would covet! Otherwise, I wouldn't have rushed here with you two. If we miss this opportunity, we'll likely never see one again in our lifetime."

"okay."

At this moment, Xie Yao saw the protective aura of the safe zone ahead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The seedlings are already in that True Lord's hands, so don't think about it anymore. Go back and adjust yourself, and three days later send some tribute to that True Lord. Then go back to the capital for the New Year."

"Row."

Tang Yao listened, but his eyes darted around, clearly thinking about how to take advantage of that powerful True Lord three days later.

Ideally... I'd like to get a black tree sapling!
Non-traveling deities and local rulers all look down upon those who offer sacrifices. This is similar to how ancient dynasties were truly generous in giving to tributary states!

Da da da!
The three of them stepped into the safe zone and all breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xi suddenly said, "Should we tell...Grandpa Xie about this?"

"do not want!"

Tang Yao immediately shuddered and said, "My dear sister, Sister Chen, do you really want me to die?!"

"If you tell Grandpa Xie about this, he'll skin me alive!"

Tang Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"

"Go to Jia Chenzhou Tower!"

"Our top-tier team in the capital will also be going to Japan after the New Year. Consider this hush money for the two of you, one second-tier item for each of you!"

The three figures gradually disappeared into the hazy light of the safe zone.

The shrine in the low-lying area trembled slightly, indicating a change in the situation.
