Shocking News

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Soldier Tree did not start a fight, it just spoke a few words before starting to turn into dust.

"The moment the master evolves will be your ruin"

The creature's voice gradually slowed until the end of the sentence.

Liu Yang looked toward the swirls, according to Xillia Wolf, the absorption rate has increased several times, Xillia Wolf has calculated that in about four months the absorption power will reach the edge unless that reaches the energy limit before.

Liu Yang began to think of various possibilities, he thought of only one possibility of surviving the power of absorption, that it would be that the whirlwinds would focus on absorbing the energy of the elements it had in the trees. This would allow time for the group to pass the test and leave this location.

While Liu Yang was lost in his thinking, Mo Qian asked a question of Li Qing.

"Senior Li, what happened to the other members of his group?"

Li Qing looked at Liu Yang, realizing that he was in his own world, Li Qing replied.

"We had an extremely ferocious fight against a creature called the Leech Tree, we were almost killed, but in the end we managed to escape with the help of the Lifeguard Amulet, we separated, we lost contact with two members after the separation, Gu Meng was killed, and there is only one more, I was going towards it when I was attacked by Gu Meng"

"I think it's best if you hurry, it's possible that your last companion is in a bad situation, similar to the situation with Gu Meng"

Liu Yang's words were harsh but true, Li Qing did not know whether his other companion was well or not. He wanted to hurry as fast as he could, but there were injuries to his body that were not yet healed. He did not want to ask Liu Yang for help, but for someone like him who valued his friends, he gritted his teeth.

"Indiana Jones, Miss Mo, I would like to ask you to help me find my friend"

Liu Yang and Mo Qian did not find strange Li Qing make such a request, Liu Yang did not know the personality of Li Qing, but Mo Qian knew, she had heard a few conversations from her companions in the sect, he was someone worth making friends with.

"Dear…"

"Okay, I know what to do. Li Qing, right? We can help you look for your friend, but if you find some kind of problem, you'll have to solve it yourself, okay?"

Li Qing heard Mo Qian call Liu Yang's dear, but did not care about it, because each had its own private life, he would not ask about it. When he heard the words of Liu Yang, Li Qing did not find such a condition strange.

"Thank you, I, Li Qing, will remember this favor in the future"

"Do you know any way to get to it?"

"Yes"

Li Qing pulled out a tracking device and started pointing to the side where the light glowed weakly. Li Qing took a pill and started running, Liu Yang and Mo Qian followed behind. Despite being injured, Li Qing clenched his teeth and ran at full speed.

After several hours of running, the tracking device begins to emit a strong light, moving in a pointed direction, the group sees a shadow sitting on the ground with their legs crossed, trembling and covered in sweat. As the group approached the shadow began to become clearer, it was possible to see two small horns coming out of the forehead, short hair, tight clothes that accentuate the curvilinear figure, there was a whip beside the young woman, she was Huang Ziya who had escaped before.

Li Qing was happy to see that she was all right, but Li Qing thought there was something wrong with her, to be sweating and shaking. Activating the Vision of Truth, Li Qing understood why, but he did not know the cause. The moment Liu Yang looked at Huang Ziya with the Phantom Vision, without waiting for another second, he charged toward her with the sword in his hands.

Li Qing was scared at the sudden action of Liu Yang, he wanted to act, but was blocked by Mo Qian. Arriving in front of Huang Ziya, Liu Yang cuts off a part of the shoulder along with the whole arm, with another cut, Liu Yang cuts again. But a strange thing happens, a root gets out of the arm in an attempt to stop Liu Yang's attack, but it was useless, using the Metal Enchantment, Liu Yang traverses the root like paper and punches what was inside in this arm. The root begins to wither.

Mo Qian and Li Qing are surprised by this scene, Mo Qian knew that Liu Yang would not do things without reason, but was still scared when she saw him cut off Huang Ziya's arm. Li Qing thought that Liu Yang would kill Huang Ziya, but he misinterpreted Liu Yang actions.

"Help her"

Liu Yang began to inspect the arm, making some cuts, he found a seed the size of a ping pong ball. With Phantom Vision, he was able to see the seed information.

Seeing this information, Liu Yang found it quite troublesome, if there were more of these things, the situation would be hopeless. And trying to find a safe place would be extremely difficult.

Huang Ziya's health had stabilized, though she was still unconscious. The group began to go to the edge of the forest, Liu Yang and Mo Qian in front, and Li Qing carrying Huang Ziya in the back.

The group managed to find a good place to camp, the group had to create some things to ensure safety. Mo Qian, Li Qing, and Huang Ziya, all three had a sensor type that sensed movement, so they planted several around the camp to be alert if anything happened.

Time was slowly passing, with each passing day the energy in the place was more scarce, but the worst did not happen, the whirlwinds expanded the absorption power to the intermediate zones, where the elemental trees were. The fourth month passed without any problems, the group managed to remain calm at this time, but by the time the fifth month arrived, a great tremor began to happen inside the forest.

...

Outside, the crowd watched the unbelievable things that were happening inside that forest, they were shocked at everything they saw. But in the third month of the trial a news spread across the Nine Worlds, the news was so shocking that it made everyone forget the secret realm for a second.

The news was that the Xiao clan of the Second World, the leader of the Mercantile Alliance made a shocking announcement.
