Chapter 694 (2/2)

The original gray-brown soil also became visible.

Just after this palm strike.

Several finger-thick vines suddenly appeared in the dense forest below, shooting straight towards Lin Jing.

Lin Jing noticed these vines as soon as they appeared.

He also prepared himself, as Spiritual Power gathered once more.

However…

As the vines charged at him and Lin Jing was ready, gathering Spiritual Power to sever the vines, suddenly.

Another surge of Spiritual Power fluctuated from below the forest.

As this fluctuation arose, Lin Jing immediately sensed it.

He quickly looked toward the source of this Spiritual Power fluctuation.

He saw, standing atop the canopy of one of the trees, a creature less than three feet tall that resembled a being grown from a tree itself.

This being, much like a tree person, was made entirely of tree bark, with a crown of leaves on its head, and a garment sewn from leaves draped over its body.

Moreover.

In its hands, it held a bare root radiating Spiritual Power.

The wood attribute Spiritual Power fluctuation Lin Jing had just felt, was emanating from this tree person.

Upon seeing this tree person, Lin Jing immediately thought of the Wood Spirit that Li Mingwu had mentioned before.

This must be the Wood Spirit.

The Wood Spirit looked at Lin Jing and then waved the strange root in its hand.

As it waved the root in its hand.

Lin Jing felt the wood attribute Spiritual Energy surrounding him change.

This wood attribute Spiritual Energy, as if under the control of the Wood Spirit, formed an invisible wall of Spiritual Power around him.

At this moment.

The vines had reached Lin Jing’s side, attempting to entangle him.

Seeing this, Lin Jing directly transformed his gathered Spiritual Power into blades of wind and slashed out.

Yet, as the blades of wind were unleashed, they slowed down upon encountering the invisible wall of Spiritual Power and dispersed in the air before reaching their target.

Lin Jing understood that his blades of wind were nullified by the Spiritual Power wall surrounding him.

At this moment.

The vines had already surrounded him and seemed intent on binding Lin Jing.

Knowing that using Spiritual Power was futile, Lin Jing naturally stopped the pointless effort.

Then.

Lin Jing reached out and touched the invisible wall of Spiritual Power before him.

Upon contact with the wall of Spiritual Power, Lin Jing felt his own Spiritual Power being sealed.

If Lin Jing were an ordinary cultivator, his Spiritual Power being sealed, along with the vines that were about to strike, would likely make it difficult for him to escape.

But Lin Jing was not only a caster of spells but also a Body Refinement Cultivator who practiced the Martial Dao; the invisible wall of Spiritual Power did not affect him significantly.

Knowing that the invisible wall of Spiritual Power’s primary function was to restrain his own Spiritual Power, Lin Jing no longer hesitated.

He stepped forward, breaking out of the range of the invisible wall of Spiritual Power, and the vines that originally sought to entangle Lin Jing abruptly grasped at nothing.

Seeing Lin Jing break through the invisible wall of Spiritual Power, the tree person was taken aback.

It hastily waved the root in its hand, attempting to surround Lin Jing with the invisible wall of Spiritual Power once again.
