Looking at the tree from afar, Han Sen couldn't help but frown. Han Sen couldn't sense any lifeforce from the tree.
There was no trace of any creature nearby, which was incredible.
If it had been an ordinary geno plant, Han Sen wouldn't have thought much of it. But this tree's lifeforce was so strong that it could be felt from ten miles away. How was it possible that no creatures had approached it?
"Let's not go any further. Let's rest here and treat Chu Ming's injuries."
Han Sen felt as if something was amiss, so he told the Golden Howler to stop and carry Chu Ming. Then, he used his Holy Light to heal him.
Fortunately, although Chu Ming's injuries were severe, they weren't fatal. Under Han Sen's holy light healing, he was completely healed within an hour.
"Sister Lanxi, how could you save me?
We signed a contract with Qing Ming Knight. You will die if you do this. "
When Chu Ming woke up, he realized he was in the middle of Thorn Forest. He knew what had happened, and he looked at Qu Lanxi with concern.
"Are you talking about him?" Han Sen summoned Qing Ming Knight and smiled.
"He..." Chu Ming was shocked to see Qing Ming Knight, and he stumbled back. He looked at Han Sen and Qing Ming Knight and asked, "What is going on?"
"What else could it be? Qing Ming Knight swore loyalty to me," Han Sen said.
"How is that possible?"
Chu Ming looked at Qing Ming Knight, who was standing next to Han Sen, and thought he was dreaming. He pinched his leg and said, "No way! I must be dreaming. I must be dying. That's why I'm hallucinating. I'm still hanging outside the gate!"
Chu Ming felt a sharp pain in his leg, and he knew it wasn't a hallucination.
Han Sen and Qu Lanxi explained the situation to Chu Ming, and it took a while for Chu Ming to accept the truth.
The three of them rested there for a while, and they brought out the tree crabs they had killed.
Chu Ming made a lot of noise, and after eating, the three of them went to sleep. With Little Wind on guard, they didn't have to worry about being ambushed.
In the middle of the night, Little Wind's screams woke Han Sen and the others up. They looked around, but they didn't see anything.
Little Wind was a creature, after all, so it couldn't tell them what was going on. They looked around for a while, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Fearing something bad might happen, the three of them took turns keeping watch while the other two slept.
But nothing happened that night, and Little Wind didn't make any more noise. In the morning, the three of them packed up and discussed where they should go.
"If that tree is a high-class geno plant, we should go and take a look.
It would be great if there were no creatures around, and no one was competing with us. Perhaps we could get something good out of this. "Chu Ming looked at the tree a mile away, drooling as he spoke.
"San Mu is right," Qu Lanxi said. "There are too many mysteries in Thorn Forest, and there is not a single creature to be seen here," Qu Lanxi said.
"What are you afraid of? This is only the edge of Thorn Forest. We … Ah … What is going on …" Chu Ming said as he looked around. But suddenly, he screamed in shock.
"What do you mean?"
Han Sen looked around, and he noticed something was wrong. His face paled.
"Bramble Forest? Why is it all Bramble Forest? Didn't you say that we've only walked a few dozen li into the Bramble Forest?" Chu Ming asked as he looked at the Bramble Forest in the distance.
"It wasn't like this when we came here." Qu Lanxi's face changed, and she quickly looked around.
They could no longer see the forest on the path they took yesterday. Everywhere was a thorny forest filled with thorns. Moreover, there were many incomparably large thorny bushes. It was impossible to see them at the edge of the thorny forest.
Qu Lanxi wanted to take a closer look, but Han Sen pulled her back.
"We don't know what's going on yet, so we shouldn't split up."
Han Sen looked around, and he noticed that aside from the trees and bushes, they were surrounded by thorns and thorns. It looked like they were in the depths of Thorn Forest.
But yesterday, they had only walked about 30 miles. They should have been at the edge of the Bramble Forest. They hadn't seen this huge Bramble Forest.
"Is this the doing of the tree?" Chu Ming suddenly asked, pointing at the tree.
"How is that possible? It's just a geno plant. How can it fly us?" Qu Lanxi asked.
When Han Sen heard this, he thought to himself, "I think Chu Ming is right. It looks like the problem lies with the tree. Otherwise, why would this area remain the same? Why else would the environment around it change?"
"Are you saying we were taken to the depths of Thorn Forest by the tree?" Qu Lanxi asked, her face paling.
"I don't know for sure, but it could be that Thorn Forest is expanding."
Han Sen looked at the tree and said, "Let's go and take a look. Perhaps we can find an answer there."
"If it is the tree's problem, wouldn't it be more dangerous for us to walk?" Chu Ming asked.
Han Sen shook his head and said, "If this really is the deepest part of Thorn Forest, we'll encounter all sorts of powerful creatures. That would only make our deaths worse. At least there are no other creatures near this tree."
The three of them discussed this for a while, and eventually decided to take a look at the tree.
Han Sen led the way with Little Wind. He was the strongest of the group, and after eating the iron bug king, he had gained seven sacred geno points. His fitness had increased by a great deal.
Han Sen thought it might have been the fault of the iron bug king. After all, it was an evolved creature, and the spirit had broken its shell before it was fully evolved. That was why it had so few sacred geno points.
The three of them carefully approached the tree. They did not encounter any creatures along the way, and Little Wind seemed to be very reluctant to go forward. But in the end, Han Sen pulled him along.
When they were only a few hundred meters away from the tree, Chu Ming suddenly pointed in the direction of the tree and shouted, "There seems to be a person under that tree!"
