Chapter 760: 760

Long Chen’s heart shook . Countless branches began to coil around him .

“Careful, Long Chen!” warned Meng Qi through a spiritual transmission . Something was clearly happening down below as well .

“Time to run . ” Long Chen threw the branch in his hand into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce . With a slash of his saber, he tore through those coiling branches .

Red liquid splashed through the air . Long Chen immediately realized things were worse than he had thought . This tree actually possessed its own consciousness .

He immediately summoned his lightning wings and rushed away .

Suddenly, more branches came for him . This time, it wasn’t those slender branches, but branches several meters thick . He also felt a berserk feeling coming from the tree . It wanted to kill him .

“Split the Heavens!”

Long Chen directly slashed his way out of the branches, finally escaping their clutches .

Only then did he see that Meng Qi was in danger as well . Countless roots were surging over her, like monstrous serpents trying to devour her .

Long Chen broke those roots with a single slash of his saber . Holding Meng Qi, he rushed out of this strange forest .

BOOM!

Shockingly, the ground erupted and that huge tree flew into the air . Countless roots came flying toward Long Chen like a heaven-shrouding claw .

The thing that shocked Long Chen the most was that following the first tree, more trees began to fly into the air and chase him .

He had no idea what energy they were using, but they were actually able to fly . Long Chen felt like the world had gone crazy .

Those trees were incredibly quick . In the air, they were like huge, black clouds . Countless roots stabbed toward him .

They were clearly several miles away, but those roots seemed to be able to grow limitlessly . The reached him in an instant .

Long Chen once more slashed down his saber, breaking those roots . A blood-like substance filled the air .

A strange, chilling cry came from the giant tree .

“d.a.m.nit, they really want my life!” Long Chen had only just forced back one tree when he saw that thousands of giant trees had filled the air, completely blocking out the sun .

Meng Qi had already summoned the Blood Phoenix now . But the Blood Phoenix was unable to throw off these trees with its speed .

Then, in front of Long Chen’s shocked eyes, these trees merged together . Their crowns combined and their roots intertwined . They transformed into one enormous creature that rapidly chased after them, and their speed actually increased . Long Chen had never seen such a bizarre thing . These trees were actually working like an army .

Meng Qi’s face was pale . After the trees had merged, their aura had become even more sinister and chilly . But she kept her mouth shut, not wanting to disturb Long Chen .

“Explode!” Long Chen tossed out a ball of flames, and it exploded in front of that monster . The trees let out that strange cry once more . Their branches and roots were immediately ignited . Ashes began to fall from the sky .

Although it wasn’t a heavy injury, it still made Long Chen feel relieved . As expected, fire was extremely effective against wood .

Suddenly, the sky trembled . A terrifying pressure came from the depths of the forest, one that it made it feel like s.p.a.ce had frozen .

Long Chen immediately felt like some ancient monster had set its gaze on him . An unprecedented feeling of danger filled him .

Even Meng Qi was affected . Whatever that thing was, its aura surpa.s.sed their imagination .

“Long Chen, what are we supposed to do?!” Although she knew she shouldn’t ask such a question at this time, Meng Qi couldn’t help it .

“Don’t be afraid . Have the Blood Phoenix fly as fast as possible . I remember we crossed a huge river on our way here . We should be able to get there fast enough,” said Long Chen .

No matter how big Long Chen’s guts were, in front of something unknown with unprecedented power, he was still on edge . But after walking on the border of life and death for so long, the more dangerous the situation turned out to be, the calmer he became .

When running into danger, panic and fear wouldn’t save anyone . It would only cause you to die faster . Long Chen had long since gotten into the habit of being cool-headed in the face of danger .
