There are just too many of these plants!

It was like a swamp, swallowing every living thing that entered it.

Zhao Ziqi held the Silver Moon Sword. Wherever the sword light reached, the skin of the mutated plants cracked, but the stems remained tough and unbroken.

Their bodies writhe and swell; if touched, they may cause minor cuts and bleeding, or even have a piece of flesh scraped off.

"Charge forward! There's an exit ahead. We can't turn back!" the Elf Queen said earnestly.

"This is the only way."

Zhao Ziqi's gaze also became extremely serious. He remained focused, sensing the dense cluster of mutated plants around him to avoid being ambushed or entangled.

Being trapped in a sea of ​​mutated plants, it's impossible to rely on the Elf Queen's plant magic at this point.

The further they went, the stronger the aura of each mutated plant became, and their power was astonishing! Zhao Ziqi's hand gripping his sword was going numb.

I don't know where these plants get their strange strength from.

In situations like this... you can only rely on yourself!

A thought flashed through Zhao Ziqi's mind.

A simple NPC panel opened and floated in front of me.

Strength: 32 points

Spirit: 37 points

Soul: 29 points

Unassigned attributes: 7 points!

Zhao Ziqi has enough mental perception; what he lacks right now is strength and speed!

"Allocate all your energy."

Strength: 32 points → 39 points!

Immersed in the green ocean, Zhao Ziqi's cuts on his arms and legs healed at a visible speed. Every cell in his body greedily absorbed energy, and the moment his muscles tensed, his strength surged!

With a slash of his silver moon sword, several thick vines were severed at once, spraying out putrid sap as they fell to the ground.

The pressure on the person suddenly decreased.

"Divine Light".

The surface of the Silver Moon Sword was imbued with divine light, radiating a dazzling brilliance. The decaying mist floating in the air, upon touching the divine light, hissed and dissipated into wisps of green smoke.

After striking the eerie plants again, they writhe and struggle, the blade sizzling as it cut! The lethality had increased considerably.

Zhao Ziqi was overjoyed. It seemed that "Divine Light" had a clear restraining effect on the enemies of the Ash Land.

"Follow me!"

With divine light shining upon him, Zhao Ziqi led the way, holding the Elf Queen's hand to prevent her from being entangled and dragged away by the plants.

One person cleared the way, while another provided cover from behind with a sword! Hundreds of strange plants dodged the divine light and retreated rapidly...

The Elf Queen looked at Zhao Ziqi and a smile appeared on her face.

With such a powerful partner, perhaps we can finally achieve our goal this time?

A short while later, Zhao Ziqi took the Elf Queen's hand, and the two fought their way out of the green sea of ​​mutated plants and finally arrived at the temple!

"Phew..." Zhao Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling soreness and numbness in his arms and exhaustion in his body. This journey had been truly tiring.

Looking at the Elf Queen behind her, her breathing was steady, she wasn't tired at all, and she was even very elegant! Indeed... whoever exerts the most effort is the one who gets the most tired!

Having just finished a battle, Zhao Ziqi felt the air was getting hotter and hotter. He was drenched in sweat, his clothes almost soaked through, and said, "Why do I feel like it's getting hotter and hotter?"

Now let's look at the Elf Queen.

Large beads of sweat appeared on her delicate face, and the sweat trickled down her collarbone, soaking the hem of her skirt and highlighting her full curves.

She breathed warm air and said, "Look up at the sun, and you'll know why it's getting hotter and hotter."

Zhao Ziqi found it strange.

What's so great about the sun? Isn't it blinding?

Since she said that...

Zhao Ziqi looked up at the sun in the sky. The scorching sunlight pierced his eyes directly, causing a brief stinging sensation. His ability, "Life Breathing," quickly healed the stinging eyes.

A few seconds later, Zhao Ziqi's pupils, which were staring at the sun, suddenly dilated! His fingers clenched until they turned white, his heart pounded wildly, and he was utterly shocked.

The azure sky was clear and bright, but what was shining with scorching sunlight was not the sun at all! It was... a ferocious and enormous demonic creature, which was coiled in the sky. Its crimson pupils contained terrifying pressure. When it met Zhao Ziqi's eyes for a moment, its pupils contracted slightly as it stared at Zhao Ziqi, as if it wanted to pierce through his eyes and tear his soul apart!

An indescribable sense of oppression washed over Zhao Ziqi's entire body, leaving him extremely shocked.

The sun of the Ashlands is not the sun, but... the Balrog Surtur!

"The Ashlands should be a dark world, where the zombies outside are only active at night," the Elf Queen said earnestly. "After I arrived here, the Balrog followed me, but it didn't know one thing."

"What is it?"

"The Mother Goddess has set up a barrier here. Once one's strength exceeds a certain threshold, the flow of time will become abnormal! Therefore, it is falling slowly, but... extremely slowly! Before I came here, I had already severed my cultivation level, so I am unaffected."

Zhao Ziqi suddenly realized that, in this light, the S-rank secret realm Ash Land that he was challenging was vastly different from the Ash Land that others were challenging because of the appearance of the Flame Demon and the Elf Queen.

"How much longer will it take for it to come down?" Zhao Ziqi asked warily. His NPC panel indicated that he had been lost in the secret realm because of the Flame Demon!

That means the Flame Demon must have some dangerous aspects.

The Elf Queen smiled and gave a conservative estimate, saying, "About... a hundred years. Unless it escapes back, but even that would take a long time."

We needn't worry about it; the Balrog has been imprisoned by the Mother Goddess of Wisdom, and it has no other way!

Hearing her so confident, Zhao Ziqi's heart skipped a beat.

Sister, you absolutely mustn't use poisonous milk!

"Hey... Queen, look, it looks like something is falling down!" Zhao Ziqi pointed at the Flame Demon.

"Could it be that it split into a weak clone? If so, the barrier will be ineffective against its clone."

Fire meteorites of all sizes fell like a meteor shower.

The Elf Queen was very optimistic and said, "Don't worry, the clone can escape the barrier, but it is ultimately weak and poses no threat to us."

Boom!! Several fire meteorites crashed into the adjacent mutated plants, igniting a huge fire that crackled and exploded.

The fiery hand guarding the city gate slowly floated... toward the temple.

Further away, small, burning fire demons emerged from the fire meteorites. They were extremely agitated, whipping their tails and opening their mouths wide to devour the nearby fire demons.

Zhao Ziqi felt a chill run down his spine!

"rest assured…"

"Sister, stop talking! Let's go inside quickly, or the Hand of Flames will float in!"

The Hand of Flame is immortal and indestructible, a standard mechanic monster, and currently, we have no way to deal with it.

The Elf Queen's ears turned red and burning. Finally, she closed her mouth, her silence not signifying her mistake...

The temple gates were incredibly heavy.

It took Zhao Ziqi and the other person working together to push it open, and the door made a creaking sound as it opened.

A putrid, deathly aura assaulted the senses, causing physical discomfort.

Sunlight streamed in through the door, illuminating the dimly lit hall. In a corner, on the floor, swirled purple cysts, resembling mud, emanated an ominous purple mist.

In the very center of this hall sat a burly figure, dressed in a black martial arts uniform. His face and many parts of his body were corroded, and an ominous purple mist emanated from his back.

A wooden gourd hangs from its waist, lying quietly untouched by the purple mist.

"A mutated corpse." The Elf Queen remained vigilant.

"Martial artists from the Black Mountain Sect!"

Zhao Ziqi was surprised; he never expected to actually encounter the strange gourd that the commander had mentioned.

Unexpectedly, its original owner was also here!

Zhao Zi said with great regret, "Your Majesty, this is a senior I knew. I never expected him to die here. Let us join hands to pray for his soul."
