Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Novel - Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Strange Forest

Li Yuanqing did not hesitate at all and walked straight into the dense forest that did not exist ten days ago. The trees here were so tall that they almost covered the sky. There were hundreds of meters tall trees everywhere. Thick vines crawled everywhere, and the ground and trees were densely packed.

When Li Yuanqing walked in, he took a deep breath. He felt that the spiritual energy here was so dense that it could not be dispersed.

This was a good place!

Li Yuanqing looked around. The moment he stepped in, a voice flashed through his mind.

[Congratulations on signing in successfully and receiving a hundredfold reward!]!

[One: 100 hundred-meter-tall trees!]

[Two: One Man-eating Vine!]

A hundred-meter-tall tree and man-eating vine? This was the first time he had encountered these two things in the forest. Li Yuanqing smiled.

He looked at the vines and trees in the forest.The hundred-meter-tall tree didn’t seem to be anything special. So he should choose the man-eating vine. However, he was a little worried about where to place the man-eating vine.

In the past, he would obtain some pills or cultivation techniques when he signed in. At the very least, he would obtain weapons. This was the first time he had obtained plants or even Man-eating Vines.

He directly chose the Man-eating Vine. Soon, his eyes flashed and a Man-eating Vine appeared in front of him. However, Li Yuanqing did not know where to keep this Man-eating Vine.

The Man-eating Vine in his hand quickly disappeared with this thought. Li Yuanqing quickly discovered that there was an additional Man-eating Vine in the domain that had appeared in his original Saint Extermination Stone.

When Li Yuanqing was on the Yufu Mountain, he had used the domain fragments to fuse with the Saint Extermination Stone to expand his domain.

At that time, his domain was like a mountain.

At this moment, the man-eating vine that he had obtained from signing in landed on an empty space at the foot of the Yufu Mountain and has begun to take root and grow.

Li Yuanqing could not figure out the use of this Man-eating Vine for a moment. He did not pay attention to it anymore when it had been stored in his domain. Instead, he turned around and entered the forest.

…

After he stepped into the forest, the trees seemed to move as he tried to pass through the forest step by step. All kinds of vines began to climb rapidly. The rustling sound was especially strange in this silent forest.

Li Yuanqing pricked up his ears and paid attention to the changes in his surroundings. This forest was a little strange.

Although he was already at the Spirit Transformation realm, who knew what strange things would appear in some unknown places? Especially since this place was close to the catacombs and was known as the Land of War.

A large group of martial artists was carefully approaching the forest. They were all holding torches in their hands and holding their breaths as they looked nervously at the forest. Some of them were even holding some black oil in their hands.

The black oil could burn and burn fiercely. No matter where it was thrown, even on a rock, it would burn violently. And the thing these martial artists carried the most on them today was this black oil. There were even people constantly transporting this oil to them.

This was because the forest in front of them blocked their path. However, this forest was too strange. After the blood rain, dozens of martial artists had already died in the forest.

They had thought of many ways, but those people were nowhere to be seen. They had only completely disappeared from the forest, and the forest was getting bigger. If the forest became bigger and bigger, it would increase the difficulty to deal with demons.

Most importantly, this forest was too dangerous. Therefore, after some discussion, they decided to burn this forest with black oil. At least before this forest appeared, there were only weeds and small trees here. They were no threat to martial artists at all.

The torches were lit, and the black oil was splashed. The martial artists threw the torches into the forest. Then, when the torch touched the oil, it let out a sizzling sound. The flames immediately rushed up, and the hundred-meter-tall tree began to be ignited.

“Guard this place and let these trees and vines burn. Everyone, be careful. Vicious beasts will come out of the forest…”

After the rain of blood, the forest that suddenly appeared was strange to begin with. In addition, there was a high chance that the martial artists who entered would die. Dozens of them had already died, so this group of people was still very careful.

After the blood rain, the spiritual energy recovered. Not only did martial artists cultivate faster in this world, but more importantly, there were also many unknown mutations. Who knew if there was anything terrifying in the forest?

“Boss, it’s bad. The fire over there seems to have been extinguished. There are sounds. Listen to the loud sounds in the forest…” A martial artist cried out in surprise. He was the one who had set the flames just now. Just as the flames were about to burn, the huge flames were extinguished. At the same time, there was a loud sound.

Leading those martial artists was a person in green. At this moment, he was also dumbfounded. He thought for a moment and had just approached the forest when he suddenly realized that he was being held back by something and was quickly flying towards the forest.

The green-robed man was also a ninth-grade martial artist. His cultivation and reaction were very fast. He stabbed at the thing dragging him. Before he could see what it was, the sword stabbed out. However, this time, he felt his waist tighten. Just as he was about to stab his waist again, he realized that he could not pull out the sword.

He was shocked and wanted to retreat immediately to join his brothers. Suddenly, his vision turned black. Then, his eyes were covered by something. He could only smell the pungent smell of blood and his body was quickly tied up by something.

“Quick, send the signal light, send…” At this moment, the man in green immediately reacted. He had been attacked before he had even seen anything. He had to ask for help from the higher-ups immediately.

In the beginning, they only received a mission to set fire to this forest. It was such a simple matter and there were many people. Therefore, a ninth-grade martial artist could be the leader.

But before the fire could burn, they were attacked.

Some martial artists who saw the green-robed man being attacked with their own eyes immediately sent out signal lights for help. They quickly sent out signal lights. But all of them were swept away by something.

They were all tightly bound like the man in green. Some of them had their eyes covered and could not see anything. They could only hear rustling sounds and feel their bodies turn cold.

Everyone was swept into the forest. Someone’s mouth was not covered yet. At this moment, he could not help but shout loudly. “It’s the vines. Those vines are alive. They’re all alive. What do they want?”

It turned out that what was tied to those martial artists were vines. Those vines bound those martial artists tightly, and the more they struggled, the tighter they were tied.

Some even pierced into the flesh of those martial artists.

Someone was injured. Blood began to flow out. The vines that were stained with blood seemed to have been agitated by something. They kept twisting their bodies, and some of them were slowly thickening.

“Help, help…” The martial artist who was the first to bleed felt that the blood on his body was flowing too quickly. Moreover, as the blood flowed out, he was shocked to discover that his cultivation was also flowing away.

Moreover, his essence, energy, and spirit were weakening. After being tied up for a while, he felt as if he had been tied up for three days and three nights. He was extremely tired and could not even open his eyes.

This change frightened the martial artist so much that he shouted for help with all his might. However, after he shouted twice, his companion saw in horror that he, who originally was a fat cultivator, was drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if something had sucked out all the flesh and blood in its body.

A moment ago, he was still shouting for help. In the next moment, he could no longer make any sound and his breathing stopped. His entire body had already turned into a piece of paper. His thin clothes hung on the vines and floated around, making the remaining martial artists’ hair stand on end.

In the blink of an eye, one of their companions had died in front of them.

This was a martial artist, a martial artist countless times stronger than ordinary people. However, he could not resist the vines in the forest at all. These vines were too terrifying after the spiritual energy recovery.

It easily killed a martial artist.

There were more than twenty people in their group, but the strongest was only a ninth-grade martial artist.

One of the twenty or so people had already died. The rest were all bound by the vines. Some martial artists started bleeding again.

As long as it was a vine that tasted blood, it would immediately be different and become even more ferocious. Moreover, as long as there was blood on those martial artists, those vines would follow the blood and enter their bodies.

One of the two martial artists who were very close saw the vines on their companions’ bodies. At this moment, only his mouth could move. So he bit the vines without hesitation. Then, the other martial artist was also struggling with all his might, hoping to break free from the shackles of the vines and escape with the help of his companion.

The remaining martial artists also saw this scene and desperately used their cultivation to collide with the vines on the martial artist’s body. They wanted to help him and let their companion escape.

Some martial artists had daggers on them. They struggled and kept slashing at the vines. Although those vines were powerful, many of them were still cut into pieces by the attacks of the martial artist’s dagger. Moreover, after being cut, the vines seemed to feel pain and fear.

Soon, the martial artist with the dagger managed to break free from the vines with the help of his companion. His first reaction was to set fire. Only by finding the roots of the vines and setting fire would he have a chance to save the others.

This martial artist’s brain worked very quickly. His first reaction was to find the black oil and use it to ignite the roots of the vine. Everything was mutually reinforcing and restraining. He did not believe that these vines were not afraid of fire no matter how strong they were.

The daggers could occasionally restrain them, but there was hope for the martial artists. Furthermore, they had already released the signal for help. Someone might come to save them soon.

Hold on, hold on!

At this moment, these martial artists’ eyes were red. They could not help but encourage themselves in their hearts, hoping that they could last until their reinforcements arrived. Moreover, this generation was led by the new Martial Saints, North Star, and Black Iron. When they saw the signal light, they would definitely rush over immediately.

As long as the two Martial Saints arrived, they would be saved. The only thing they could do now was to stall for time.

Li Yuanqing suddenly turned around and saw vines floating behind him. They were standing behind him like humans. Then, they stared straight at him.

That feeling made Li Yuanqing a little uncomfortable. He snorted lightly. The Demon Slayer Sword had already flown out as fast as lightning. As soon as the sword flew out, the vines standing in front of him had no chance to escape and were cut off by the sword.

The vines seemed to be frightened and quickly fled into the depths of the forest. Unfortunately, it had met Li Yuanqing. He did not move at all. The Demon Slayer Sword stared fixedly at the vine and cut it off from time to time like a cat playing with a mouse.

The vine fled even faster, but no matter how fast it was, it could not resist the Demon Slayer Sword. Li Yuanqing deliberately did this because he wanted to find the nest of the vines.

This was because there were vines everywhere in this forest. Other than the hundred-meter-tall trees, there were many other places with such vines.

After the spiritual energy recovered, these vines had also become spirits. If he didn’t kill them, there would probably be countless vengeful spirits in the forest. Furthermore, it would make this Land of War even more dangerous.

Soon, the vines stopped running. Behind it was like hell on earth. The dense trees were filled with vines.

The largest tree occupied more than ten acres. Under the largest tree was a vine that was even larger than a house. It was densely wrapped around the tree. Around it were vines, and those vines were filled with martial artists. Some people’s clothes were fluttering in the wind.

But the person was gone.

Blood fell to the ground, but before it could fall into the soil, the vines had already sucked it dry.

A deer was struggling, and its chest was instantly pierced through by the vines. Blood kept flowing out, and there were also piles of white bones on the ground, nourishing the tree and vines like fertilizer.

“Help!” A faint cry for help could be heard. There were too many people hanging from the tree, and they were all wrapped tightly in vines. It was impossible to tell if those people were men or women.

The only thing Li Yuanqing knew was that there were forty to fifty martial artists hanging on the tree, but only two of them could still move. These two people were actually his acquaintances.

North Star and Black Iron!

The two of them had already used the blood rain to become Martial Saints. At this moment, they held weapons in their hands and bombarded the vines and trees, wanting to save their companions.

Unfortunately, these vines were too strong and too big. They were even harder than iron. The key was that their healing ability was very strong. They had just cut off one vine, but another one quickly emerged from the ground.

In the beginning, there were thousands of vines here, but there were more and more of them, so many that North Star and Black Iron despaired.

What kind of vicious beast was this?

One vine was simply fatal. Not only did it trap the martial artists who came to burn the forest, but it also trapped all the rescuers.

If not for the fact that they were Martial Saints, they would probably be tied up tightly.
