The Thunder God Puppet, after dealing with all the Thunder Spirit Snakes, ceased its movement.
However, the ferocious aura that lingered around it had not yet dissipated, making one's heart palpitate.
Wu Tian also took some effort to snap back to his senses.
The performance of the Thunder God Puppet far exceeded his imagination. He had initially intended to make a move himself, but he hadn't expected the Thunder God Puppet to react so swiftly.
In that case, having this thing act as a guard would be far more valuable than a person, wouldn't it?
The more Wu Tian looked at the Thunder God Puppet, the more satisfied he became. At the same time, his admiration for the Thunder God grew even deeper.
Such a mighty being was truly unimaginably powerful. He truly hoped that one day he could also reach such an extraordinary realm.
After his exclamation, Wu Tian did not linger in the same spot.
He stored the Thunder God Puppet back into his spatial ring and then continued to walk forward aimlessly.
This forest was truly immense. Wu Tian had walked for three days without reaching its end, and he had no idea when he would finally be able to leave this place.
During these three days, Wu Tian had not encountered any particularly perilous dangers. At most, he had encountered some spirit beasts attacking him.
However, those spirit beasts were not of high level, and with Wu Tian's strength, he could easily eliminate them.
Wu Tian was not even interested in devouring their spirit cores, as they served no purpose whatsoever.
As he continued walking, five days later, Wu Tian finally arrived at a different place.
This area was still within the forest, but it was very spacious.
A pool of water occupied a large area, and from the towering mountain cliff, a waterfall cascaded down, creating splashes several meters high on the surface of the pool.
To have such a scene in the forest was somewhat unexpected for Wu Tian.
And just as Wu Tian did not have time to marvel at the grandeur of this scene, he noticed that several people had already appeared by the waterfall.
Those people were looking up at the waterfall, seemingly discussing something.
Seeing that these people did not seem to have any malicious intent, Wu Tian walked over and smiled, asking, "Hey, hello there, what are you all gathered here looking at?"
Those people looked towards Wu Tian, and one of them, upon clearly seeing Wu Tian's appearance, immediately became overjoyed and said, "Benefactor, it's you! I didn't expect to meet you again!"
Wu Tian was slightly stunned, then recognized that this person was the young man he had previously saved from Wang Shi.
At that time, the young man had no money but wanted to enter the sheltered domain, resulting in him being repeatedly humiliated by Wang Shi.
If Wu Tian had not intervened in time, he would likely have died at Wang Shi's hands.
Seeing an old acquaintance, Wu Tian naturally smiled and said, "So it's you! I didn't expect you to be here too, what a coincidence."
The young man said excitedly, "I also didn't expect to meet Benefactor here again. I haven't had a chance to thank you properly for saving my life last time."
"Meeting again today, it seems even fate wants me to thank Benefactor properly."
Wu Tian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "What thanks or no thanks, it's not necessary. I just acted casually, you don't need to take it to heart, as long as you're alright."
Saying this, Wu Tian asked again, "But what are you all gathered here for? Are you all together?"
The young man shook his head and said, "No, I don't know them, and they don't seem to know each other either."
"The reason we are gathered here is because there might be some hidden treasure behind the waterfall."
"Hidden treasure?" Hearing this, Wu Tian's interest was immediately piqued.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and say, "What treasure? Tell me more."
The young man said, "I don't know exactly what it is, but I saw quite a few people enter the waterfall earlier, and they haven't come out since."
"So we all concluded that there must be something behind this waterfall, otherwise they wouldn't have gone in."
"So that's how it is," Wu Tian certainly wouldn't miss out on something like this.
He continued, "Then, since that's the case, why are you all still standing here? Let's all go in together."
"This..." Hearing this, the young man immediately hesitated and said, "Benefactor, to be honest, this waterfall is not that easy to enter. Several people have tried before, but they all..."
At this point, the young man looked towards another direction.
Wu Tian followed his gaze and discovered that several people were lying on the ground over there, appearing to be seriously injured.
"Is there something wrong with this waterfall?" Wu Tian asked.
The young man said, "That's right, this is not an ordinary waterfall. When those people entered, they were all blocked by some force and were quickly repelled, ending up like this."
"You see, in such a situation, how can we try again?"
"So that's how it is," Wu Tian rubbed his chin.
Generally speaking, places with such complex entry conditions are usually where hidden treasures are located.
He smiled and said, "Alright, since you are all still considering, why don't I go and test the waters again?"
The young man was immediately alarmed and hurriedly advised, "Benefactor, you must think twice! If you rashly try to force your way in, the outcome might be the same as theirs..."
The young man did not finish his sentence, but Wu Tian knew what he meant.
He couldn't help but smile and say, "Don't worry, I have quite a bit of confidence in my own strength, so it doesn't hurt to try."
The young man thought to himself that Wu Tian could already contend with high-grade Immortals, so there was no need for him to try and stop him, and thus he said no more.
Wu Tian looked up at the waterfall and directly activated his clairvoyance, wanting to penetrate the barrier of the waterfall.
If it were his past self, he naturally would not have been able to see through it. But as his strength grew, the abilities of his clairvoyance also increased, so his gaze instantly pierced through the waterfall.
As expected, behind the waterfall, he saw a cave.
It was obvious that this was the entrance.
With this thought, Wu Tian condensed the immortal energy within his body, intending to directly penetrate it.
But at this moment, someone beside him said, "Wait a minute, isn't that inappropriate?"
Wu Tian turned his head and saw that the speaker was a large, stout man. He asked, "What's wrong? Why is it inappropriate?"
The stout man said, "Everything has to follow the principle of 'first come, first served'. I was here first, and you are a latecomer, so if anyone should try, it should be me."
"Otherwise, isn't your behavior no different from cutting in line?"
Hearing this, Wu Tian couldn't help but smile and say, "So that's how it is. But you've been standing here for so long, why haven't you gone in yet?"
