The environment changed a bit as Noah's group entered its borders, leaving the mystical fog behind them.

More trees began to appear, they had barren shapes with sharp branches and they also radiated some kind of threatening aura.

The Blood trees belonged to the first kind, their nourishment came from the terrain and, since the blood absorbed mostly came from cultivators, they developed a strong and sturdy form.
