Upon seeing another forest appear behind them, everyone in the group was filled with terror, and the joy of escaping the forest vanished completely.

"Captain, this seems to be another case of being trapped in a maze, just like the one at the coffin shop!"

Luo Hao said in a low voice, clearly having been quite frightened by the incident at the coffin shop.

However, Zheng Sheng looked serious and shook his head.

"It's different. Last time you were just blinded by illusions, going around in circles, but this time it's different, this is definitely not an illusion!"

Zheng Sheng looked at the dark forest in front of him.

With the enhancement of the Demon-Subduing Black Dog Blood and his own Purple Thunder Yang Blood, it was almost impossible for any illusion to deceive him.

Whether it's the forest in front of us or the forest behind us, it's all real!

These are not illusions!

Wang Lu, standing next to Zheng Sheng, nodded and spoke softly.

"Yes, it's definitely not an illusion. It should be some kind of strange realm that has altered the rules of this world."

"The space of the world has been folded, forming a closed loop!"

"Unless they are high-level awakened beings with spatial abilities, no one can leave this place."

As Wang Lu spoke, she glanced at Zheng Sheng beside her, her large eyes sparkling slightly.

She continued.

"It woke up the moment you entered this forest; it's been watching you!"

You can't escape it.

Although Wang Lu didn't say who it was, Zheng Sheng already had the answer in his heart.

The Divine Tree!

The appearance of Xiyue earlier already provided the answer.

The appearance of Grandpa Sheep's men was for the survivors behind him; the appearance of the Ember Squad was because Zhou Xun and his group encountered trouble and wanted to form an alliance with him.

Only Xiyue appeared specifically to invite him to see the Divine Tree.

Whether it was Liao Changguo or Zhou Xun, their words implied that the sacred tree was the true master of this forest.

"Why?" Zheng Sheng suddenly looked at Wang Lu and asked in confusion.

As a survivor who has lived in this world for three years, Wang Lu obviously knows many of its secrets.

The other party just said that, so they obviously know why.

When Zheng Sheng asked her, Wang Lu didn't hide anything and tried her best to organize her thoughts to answer:

"Hmm, maybe it's because you look delicious."

"You must have practiced an ancient tradition, specifically a body-refining ancient tradition, which will make your body's Qi and Yang energy far surpass that of ordinary people."

"To the monsters weaker than you, the intense yang energy within you is like a flame, capable of burning them and being used to fight them."

"But to those powerful monsters, you are the most nutritious and delicious thing in the world!"

Wang Lu took out a large chicken leg from a snack package. It was given to her by Tang Yanyan last time, and she had been reluctant to eat it, only taking it out to smell it each time.

She placed the large chicken leg in front of Zheng Sheng, her cute big eyes looking at him earnestly.

"Look, to those powerful monsters, you're like this big chicken leg!"

"Not only does it look delicious, but it's also very nutritious. And a chicken leg like yours is extremely rare in this apocalypse."

Wang Lu was giving Zheng Sheng a serious analogy, but as she spoke, her stomach growled, and her eyes were completely glued to the big chicken leg in front of her, with saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth.

He kept swallowing his saliva.

Zheng Sheng was initially very nervous, but when he saw Wang Lu's gluttonous expression, his lips twitched.

He simply took out a few large chicken legs and a few duck wings from Xiao Heizi's backpack and handed a bag of snacks to Wang Lu.

"Eat if you want. You might die someday. I have plenty here."

As he spoke, he tore open the packaging of a large chicken leg and stuffed it into Wang Lu's mouth. Wang Lu's eyes widened, and her face was full of happiness.

"Big chicken leg...delicious...it's been so long...been eating it..."

Wang Lu finished the big chicken leg in a few bites, even swallowing the bones whole.

After finishing her meal, she clutched the large bag of snacks Zheng Sheng had given her tightly, holding it close to her chest. After a moment of calm, she continued speaking.

"Ancient body-refining techniques are very special. They can enhance our body's Qi and Yang energy. With even a small amount of success, they can indeed be used to combat the supernatural!"

"However, in the eyes of the powerful and bizarre, these people are like giant chicken legs—eating them would be a great supplement!"

"You're only at the first rank of the Sequence, yet your physical body is so powerful; you must have cultivated through an extremely powerful ancient tradition!"

"And I can sense that, like that big black dog, you also possess a special bloodline."

"In the eyes of those powerful monsters, you are probably rarer than a big chicken leg."

After Wang Lu finished speaking, her face remained calm and expressionless, but she tightly hid the snacks in her arms behind her back with her small hands, as if afraid that Zheng Sheng would suddenly change his mind.

But Zheng Sheng was no longer concerned about her little tricks at this moment.

Wang Lu's words were like opening a door for him, making him suddenly see the light.

Many images quickly flashed through his mind.

In the peach grove, the giant peach tree is mysteriously swallowed... At Jin Guang Temple, the golden snail ghost surrounds the temple, seemingly extremely eager for something inside...

No wonder he felt like he was being watched by something after entering the forest; he had initially thought it was just that this forest was special.

It now seems that the other party intended to take advantage of me from the very beginning.

According to Wang Lu, ancient cultivation techniques for body refinement are highly beneficial to the supernatural.

He himself not only cultivated the Vajra Dharma Form, but also the Pure Yang Boy Skill, the Golden Bell Shield for body protection, and the Thirteen Bodyguards Horizontal Training.

There are four ancient traditions in total!

Moreover, he had added points to each of these four ancient inheritances, not just to the basics, but to a certain extent, which greatly strengthened his physical body.

He even had doubts.

The purple lightning bloodline contained within one's own body is also a great tonic for the strange creature.

After all, back in the peach grove, the nightmare-level monster underground wanted to devour the giant peach tree and the thunder peaches it gave birth to.

His own Purple Lightning Bloodline originated from Lei Tao!

Zheng Sheng became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it.

Doesn't this mean that to those powerful and bizarre beings, they are like a rare and precious treasure, an elixir of immortality, capable of granting them ascension and advancement?!

To combat the supernatural, one must learn more ancient traditions to strengthen oneself.

However, the more ancient traditions he learns, the more he becomes like a magic pill that keeps growing on its own, making him a target for even more powerful and sinister forces!

The more Zheng Sheng thought about it, the uglier his face became, but he quickly calmed down.

"Is there a way to conceal one's aura?" Zheng Sheng suddenly asked Wang Lu.

After Wang Lu put the snacks away, she nodded slowly:

"Yes! Some special forbidden artifacts can conceal your presence."

"Or, you can learn the ancient tradition of concealing your presence."

"Or you could find a Sequence Awakener who can conceal their aura; they could help you temporarily mask the yang fire within your body!"
