Outside the Golden Maple Forest, the banquet had already been prepared and many guests were invited to take their seats.
”This time, the juniors will hunt in the middle of the Golden Maple Forest. We can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Golden Maple Forest here. According to legends, every Golden Maple Tree here has a lifespan of at least a thousand years or more.” The Xu family of the peasant family had a deep heritage. Such a large forest made out of golden maple trees was something that not even the Great Zhou Imperial Family would have.
It was already autumn, and the leaves of the Golden Maple Tree floated down.
It looked light and light, but the moment it touched the ground, the edges of the maple leaves could be cut into the soil as if they were sharp blades.
Every single leaf of the Golden Maple Tree here was extremely sharp. However, even Qi Drawing Realm Qi warriors had to be careful when plucking and killing people.
The Golden Maple Tree was like a forest filled with rain and blades.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Zongyi sucked in a deep breath. It seemed like the rumors were true. Only by placing them within his body would he be able to truly experience what the Autumn Slaughter Qi truly was.
The Golden Maple Forest was recorded in the records of the village's Xu family. It had the same status as the Heart Nurturing Valley. There were many vicious beasts, and at the same time, the village's Xu family treasure was also hidden within it.
The wind blew Ye Fei, and golden maple leaves filled the sky, engulfing the entire area. It was extremely beautiful.
The golden maple leaves intertwined together and tightly clashed, creating large amounts of sparks as well as the sounds of metal clashing.
Seeing the scene in front of their eyes, the direct bloodline inheritances of the foreign forces couldn't help but change their expressions, obviously the Golden Maple Forest was even scarier than they had imagined. One had to know that this was the outermost region, and it still hadn't reached its deepest parts!
According to legend, if the Xu family did not open a forbidden path, if they wanted to forcibly attack the Xu family, they would have to pass through the Golden Maple Forest if they wanted to attack from the west.
This time, they finally understood why there were only five members of the Xu family participating in the Autumn Hunt.
”Come, come, everyone, quickly take your seats. The Golden Maple Fruit Wine brewed by my village's Autumn War Institution is quite rare.” Xu Chong Mu went directly to the host's seat, and many of the village disciples led the guests to their seats one by one.
There were temporary tents on both sides of the banquet table for the guests who had come to rest.
As far as these people were concerned, they naturally could not just look at these juniors' Autumn Hunt. There must be a reason for this arrangement.
”In this autumn, entering the autumn forest is equivalent to constantly showering yourself with knife rain. So, you have to kill the Fierce Beasts, and you have to guard against enemies at the same time.” Xu Zhengdao sighed inwardly. This was not a small test for him.
”This is only the outer layer of the Golden Maple Leaf. With our current physique, even the lightest of leaves would leave a shallow mark. However, the deeper we go, the more skin and flesh we get.” Xu Xindie was referring to the Golden Maple Leaf at the deepest part of this Autumn Hunt.
”Hehe, the Golden Maple Forest is a great treasure trove of my village's Xu family. There are many heavenly and earthly treasures that can be used to forge combat weapons.” Xu Zhengdao narrowed his eyes slightly. ”Autumn Hunt's team must have had a reason for coming here to watch the battle.”
Xu Zongyi looked over, and every single golden maple tree was at least four to five meters thick and five to six hundred meters tall.
It was different from the trees in the heart nourishing valley.
The bodies of these Golden Maple Trees were extremely tough, just like metal. They were hard to destroy, even if he exhausted all his strength and used the Foolish Sword to smash them, he might not be able to smash holes in them.
”I understand. Right now, the outside world is in a state of chaos. Food, weapons, everything is indispensable. Even if the Golden Maple Forest has leaves or branches, it can be used to refine weapons.” Xu Zongyi understood that even the Golden Maple Tree was a heaven and earth treasure that the outside world yearned for.
”Not only that, the key point is that the Golden Maple Forest's land contains rich and rare treasures, enough to make any major power go crazy. It seems like the outside world has changed again. Our farmhouse is no longer just exchanging food.” Xu Zhengdao had a solemn expression on his face. He had a feeling that within ten years, the Xu family would have undergone a huge change.
”If these resources are exchanged, wouldn't it make the major powers stronger and cause more chaos?” Xu Zongyi's voice was very low. The fact that the Golden Maple Tree was used to exchange food was a common practice, so it was understandable. However, if the golden maple tree was used to exchange food, then the motive might not be pure.
Perhaps the Patriarch just wants to add some chips for himself, since the Golden Maple Forest is an important farmland, it's impossible to dig up the heavenly and earthly treasures underground. The seven giants are all here, and I'm afraid the first one to ask for the Golden Maple Tree is not willing. Xu Xindie could also roughly guess that behind Xu Chongmu's vein was one of the seven giants, Sky Falling Mountain, which had secretly fought with Xu Xianji and the rest.
As long as these foreign forces could give the Xu family enough benefits and all the other disciples could benefit, even Xu Xianji wouldn't be able to say anything.
After all, now that Xu Chongmu was the leader of the village, he had quite a bit of power. If he wasn't too powerful, they wouldn't interfere too much.
