"Do you have a way to solve it?"
San Qianmian asked, then remembered that since Wu Tian possessed such profound spiritual energy, he might have a way to deal with the Yan Guo tree.
Therefore, he nodded again and changed his words, saying, "Alright, I understand. In that case, let's go take a look together."
"But I have to warn you, that black energy is truly bizarre. It's better if you don't get too close, lest something unexpected happens."
Wu Tian agreed and then followed San Qianmian up the mountain.
After climbing the mountain path to the summit, San Qianmian pointed ahead and said, "Look, that's the Yan Guo tree. It's still emitting black energy!"
Wu Tian looked ahead and saw that the mountaintop was empty, with only a five to six meter tall tree standing there.
The tree was laden with Yan Guo, but the strange thing was that its entire body was black.
Moreover, black energy was constantly emanating from its surroundings, making it look like a demonic tree.
Seeing this, Wu Tian's brow furrowed slightly, as he felt a sense of déjà vu from the black energy, accompanied by a strong premonition of ill omen.
He spoke, "This black energy doesn't look ordinary. Is this something that can happen to the Yan Guo tree?"
San Qianmian shook his head and said, "How could it? The Yan Guo tree would never experience such a thing, so there must be a problem here."
"If you don't believe me, look."
With that, San Qianmian directly pushed his palms towards the Yan Guo tree, and a surge of spiritual energy shot out, striking the dense black energy.
But at that moment, the black energy, as if sensing something, suddenly became violent and completely repelled the spiritual energy!
San Qianmian, hit by this attack, immediately changed his expression and was sent staggering back several steps.
"Are you alright?" Wu Tian exclaimed in surprise and quickly went to help him up.
San Qianmian, however, said, "See? This is the peculiar nature of this black energy."
"It cannot even be penetrated by spiritual energy. If it touches a person, an ordinary person would surely die."
Wu Tian stared at the black energy with suspicion, his brows furrowing deeper with every glance.
Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, could this thing be..."
Upon hearing this, San Qianmian immediately asked Wu Tian, "What is it, Mr. Wu? Do you know where this black energy came from?"
Wu Tian did not answer, and at the same time, he became exceptionally vigilant, as if the area ahead was a bomb that could explode at any moment.
He remembered that this black energy was identical to the black energy on the demonic creature earlier.
This meant that this place was actually the seal of the demonic creature!
"Hurry and leave here!" he quickly said to San Qianmian, "It's very dangerous here, and you shouldn't live here anymore!"
"Ah?" Wu Tian's words left San Qianmian somewhat confused.
He asked in bewilderment, "No, what exactly is going on? Does this Yan Guo tree have any more serious problems?"
Wu Tian said with a grave expression, "No, it's not the tree's problem, but something below is polluting this tree!"
"Now that the demonic energy has leaked out, it means the seal has begun to loosen. If you stay here any longer, you will surely die!"
Wu Tian's words were spoken in a hurried manner, and although San Qianmian was confused, he understood the gravity of the situation.
He dared not ask further and quickly said, "I, I understand. Let's leave quickly then!"
Wu Tian had originally intended to stay and see if he could resolve the issue, but then he considered that he had no idea what level of demonic creature was sealed here.
If it were a level three demonic creature, then with his current strength, he might still be able to deal with it.
But if it were a higher-level demonic creature, he would also die here!
Therefore, Wu Tian abandoned the idea of staying and turned to leave with San Qianmian.
But at that moment, an accident occurred, and an extremely unpleasant roaring sound suddenly echoed from all directions. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Simultaneously, the black energy also intensified dramatically!
Wu Tian and San Qianmian looked at the Yan Guo tree in shock. Cracks like a spiderweb began to appear on the ground around the Yan Guo tree!
Immediately after, thick black hands emerged from the cracks, and then complete bodies crawled out!
"What... what is going on!"
San Qianmian, having never witnessed such a scene, turned pale with fright in an instant.
Wu Tian's expression was also grim. His guess was correct; this place was indeed the seal of a demonic creature.
What was even worse was that there were more than thirty demonic creatures crawling out from underground!
Enveloped by the dense black energy, the demonic creatures revealed their true forms.
These demonic creatures had varied appearances, suggesting they belonged to different categories, but all of them were terrifying, like the demons of legend.
Their bodies were robust, and their eyes emitted a scarlet glow, appearing extremely bloodthirsty.
It was likely that before being sealed, they were indeed bloodthirsty and cruel.
A chilling aura immediately enveloped the entire mountainside, and even the soil on the ground turned black.
San Qianmian's legs had already begun to tremble with fear.
He stammered, "Wh-what... what is going on?"
"What are these monsters? How can such monsters exist in the world?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "It's too late to run now. You hide behind me, and I'll find a way to deal with them."
"Remember, you must not act rashly, or people will die!"
San Qianmian shivered violently and immediately fell silent.
The demonic creatures let out hoarse and low growls, appearing very fearsome.
They noticed Wu Tian and San Qianmian, and then they spread out, surrounding the two of them.
"Humans..." they grinned, looking as if they had discovered prey.
Wu Tian, observing them, had a strange thought.
Wait, these demonic creatures... why do they look a bit strange?
A demonic creature stepped forward and said, "Humans, we didn't expect to encounter you so soon after coming out. It seems your luck is truly terrible."
"But it's fine. After being imprisoned for so many years, I've always longed to slaughter you again."
"Since you've come to our doorstep, I won't be polite!"
"Hahaha, are you ready to die?"
