They both knew that perhaps the final battle was about to arrive.
A faint light shadow flashed, and when the surrounding scenery transformed anew, both Ye Yinzhu and Ye Hongyan had looks of surprise in their eyes.
“How can this be?” Ye Yinzhu murmured to himself.
Even Ye Hongyan, who would not change his expression even when facing the Beastman Army, was showing a few more hints of surprise in his eyes at this time.
Surrounding them was a sea of green, yes, pletely green.
The air was as fresh as if it were a fairyland.
Everything around them was made up of plants.
The grass close to the ground, low shrubs, and flowers, as well as those very unique tall trees, were all emitting the freshest and most pleasant scents.
Where was the disaster?
Where was the natural disaster?
Neither Ye Yinzhu nor Ye Hongyan knew, and both were searching.
However, in such a vast forest environment, it was really hard for them to imagine any sort of disaster occurring.
The only thing different from the outside forests was the trees here.
Each and every large tree required ten people to encircle its girth.
The trunks were straight and soared directly into the sky.
By sight alone, one could not tell how tall these trees were since their ends were buried deep in the blue sky, white clouds, and huge canopies.
The term “ancient towering trees” couldn’t be more appropriate.
Ye Yinzhu smiled, but the smile he now showed was a bit sinister, “Hongyan, we finally have an environment that suits us.
It seems that this magic array is indeed fair.”
Ye Hongyan nodded and quickly took off the Blue Star Battle Armor he was wearing and threw it to Ye Yinzhu.
In a flash of light, that dazzling Armor had been stored inside the Sumeru Divine Ring.
Ye Hongyan naturally understood what Ye Yinzhu meant.
In such a dense forest, it was undoubtedly the perfect environment for an ambush.
Even though the Blue Star Battle Armor itself was light, it was too eye-catching.
Therefore, as soon as Ye Yinzhu spoke, he immediately took off his Armor, leaving only his Speckled Heavy Sword filled with notches in his hand.
A faint light flickered, and a gentle divine light shone in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes as he nodded at Ye Hongyan.
The two spread their arms like two large birds taking flight, lightly touching the tree trunks around them, and in a few leaps, they had already disappeared into the first layer of tree canopies.
No one knew how tall these trees were, they were waiting, waiting silently.
Ye Yinzhu and Ye Hongyan were not in a hurry to find their opponents.
After the battle just now, although they had three hours of rest, it was still too sudden.
Cultivating in the downpour inevitably had a certain impact.
Although their physical strength and Douqi had recovered somewhat, they were still far from their peak condition.
Even if the people from Landias hadn’t appeared in this environment, they were not in a hurry.
To cultivate quietly in such a good environment, if given another five hours, even if they couldn’t fully heal their injuries, they would definitely be able to recover their Douqi and magic.
Moreover, who knew what dangers lay in this environment?
The damage of the natural disaster to the large troops of Landias was obviously much more than to the two of them.
Wouldn’t it be better to let the power of nature wear down Landias’ strength?
As Ye Yinzhu and Ye Hongyan were climbing the tree, the voice of Tower Master Aubrey echoed in the world of the magic array, “Bo Pang Kingdom and Flore Empire have withdrawn from the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons tournament.
Since only two kingdoms are left participating, this will be your final environment.
Here, no matter how long it takes, you must decide a victor, until one side is pletely defeated and withdraws from the contest.
A reminder to the petitors from the Milan Empire and the Landias Empire, the environment you are currently in is called the Domain of the Giant Trees, the most challenging environment within the entire array.
Any crisis could occur at any time, and what you may face is likely not just the attack of your opponents.
We will be waiting outside for the appearance of the final victor.”
Tower Master Aubrey’s voice faded away, and the silent forest world returned to quietness.
The air around was still so fortable.
For Ye Yinzhu and Ye Hongyan, the words of the Tower Master were not bad news; at least they could be sure that their opponents had also arrived in this Domain of the Giant Trees.
Just as the two were preparing to rest and accumulate strength on top of these giant trees while awaiting the arrival of their enemy, suddenly, both of their gazes shot upward almost at the same time.
Their keen senses, honed in battle and crisis, alerted them to something amiss right away.
With a cawing sound, a Weird Bird dived down from about ten meters above them, its sharp beak aiming directly for the top of Ye Yinzhu’s head as it swooped.
The bird was about a meter long, its body a deep blue color, and its wings spanned three meters when fully extended.
Its pair of blood-red eyes glittered like rubies.
Despite its size, it descended at an incredibly fast speed.
Its claws were retracted, and that beak longer than a foot seemed like it could pare to an assassin’s narrow sword.
Ye Yinzhu, sitting atop a tree, did not move.
He lifted his right hand and struck out towards the Weird Bird, his purple Zhu Douqi sharp as a blade, aiming directly at the bird’s body.
To his surprise, the Weird Bird managed to twist its body impossibly and dodged Ye Yinzhu’s palm blade with incredible agility, falling faster and bringing its beak within an instant above Ye Yinzhu’s head.
Caught off guard by the swift attack, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but be startled.
He tilted his head to the left while lifting his right hand, which shot up in speed, grabbing hold of the long beak.
Upon touching the beak, what he first felt was its smoothness and toughness.
If it weren’t for the outburst of Zi Zhu Douqi that allowed Ye Yinzhu to firmly grip it, the Weird Bird would have likely broken free immediately.
Douqi erupted in an instant, causing the weird bird’s body to tremble violently before it slowly collapsed.
On the trunk, its innards had been pulverized by Ye Yinzhu in a blink of an eye.
“What kind of bird is this?
Have you seen it before?” Ye Yinzhu asked, looking perplexed at Ye Hongyan.
Ye Hongyan shook his head and said, “I’ve never seen it before.
It doesn’t seem to be any known type of magical beast.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “I haven’t seen it either, but this bird’s attack speed is very fast.
Could it be a hawk?
But hawks don’t usually have such long beaks.
Look, there’s a small horn protruding on its head, and I can feel the wind attribute magic elements within, albeit weak.
If we were to rate it by demon beast ranks, this bird is at least rank four.”
Ye Hongyan spoke in a serious tone, “It seems that the disaster in the Domain of the Giant Trees is not from nature.
In such a vibrant world, it is most suitable for the growth of various plants and animals.
Considering the words of the Tower of Light Master and the attacks we’ve encountered, it seems that the most terrible thing in this environment should be demon beast attacks.”
A faint smile appeared in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, “If that’s the case, then the trouble isn’t just ours.
On the contrary, I hope there are some more powerful magical beasts in this environment.”
All of a sudden, Ye Hongyan’s face changed.
He pointed upward and said, “Yinzhu, I’m afraid you’ve jinxed us.”
Before Ye Yinzhu could look up, a piercing chill and a shrill screech attacked them from above.
This time, the two could no longer sit on the branch calmly and immediately split in two directions to escape.
With a crackling sound, the branch they had been sitting on had splintered in an instant, with debris falling downward.
Only after dodging the attack did Ye Yinzhu manage to see the assailant.
It was a large bird very similar to the weird bird from before.
It was at least three times larger, with a body length exceeding three meters and wingspan of six to seven meters.
It had deep blue feathers, greyish-white at the tail, and a light blue horn on its head about six inches long, from which the earlier Wind Blade seemed to have been launched.
“The daddy came for revenge after we killed its child,” the thought had just surfaced in Ye Yinzhu’s mind when the giant bird swooped down from the sky.
Its mode of attack was different from the smaller one before.
Not only did its meter-long bill, acpanied by a harsh wind, peck at Ye Yinzhu, but its blade-like wings also spread out, blocking Ye Yinzhu’s escape routes while a layer of green energy made its large body incredibly fast.
Such a strong magical beast, Ye Yinzhu immediately sensed the danger from the opponent.
Although not parable to a mature giant dragon, the bird’s attack strength and the rage in its eyes indicated that it was at least a rank seven intelligent magical beast.
It would be better if this was the only one.
A layer of green light burst from Ye Yinzhu’s right hand with a tinge of purple light, and countless bamboo shadows exploded forth.
He had used Zhu Gong, the three moves he had first learned in his Arrogant Bamboo Swordsmanship, which he had bee most proficient in and could now unleash with much greater force after reaching the Zi Zhu Realm.
With a furious flash of light and a strong cry of agony, Green Silk had pierced through the weird bird’s body dozens of times.
A rank seven magical beast was still no match for a Zi rank Great War Master.
Under the powerful Zi Zhu Douqi, Ye Yinzhu had killed the bird in another swift strike.
Whether it was the loud death cry of the bird or something else, in the next moment, Ye Yinzhu and Ye Hongyan heard countless bird calls in the sky, causing both of their faces to darken.
If a large-scale rank seven demon beast attack was ing, it wouldn’t just be difficult to hide; even facing it head-on would be challenging.
Ye Hongyan exchanged an inquiring glance with Ye Yinzhu, asking what they should do.
After a moment’s hesitation, Ye Yinzhu quickly put away Green Silk and summoned the Spring Thunder Zither from his Sumeru Divine Ring.
