Chapter 240 The Army Enters the Strange Forest
Just then, a celestial being was searching in the direction of the sapling when suddenly his nose twitched slightly.
In a flash, he appeared in front of the sapling.
Upon seeing a drop of golden blood on a small leaf of the sapling, he shouted, "Quick, we've found something!"
Instantly, all the celestial lords, led by Zhurong Tianguang, arrived in front of this person in an instant.
"Because this area has just been cleansed by our immortal magic, coupled with the suppression of this world, it was only then that this important clue was discovered."
Zhu Rong Tian Guang looked at the drop of blood and slowly continued, "It seems that, just as I imagined, this human ant has indeed escaped."
After saying that, Zhurong Tianguang looked into the depths of the dense forest ahead with his sharp eyes.
"What should we do now?
A celestial being asked from the side.
Chase!
Since he was injured, he must have left some clues.
But everyone must maximize their spiritual awareness and internal energy to prevent those human ants from launching a sneak attack.
And so, after Zhu Rong Tian Guang gave the order, the army began to pursue into the depths of the dense forest.
At the same time, Zhu Rong Tian Guang also transmitted his voice to the second army: "Have them keep an eye on the movements below in the void at all times, and report to me immediately if they discover anything."
Under normal circumstances, a powerful immortal lord could sense the bloody aura even from tens of thousands of miles away.
However, in this green world, coupled with the suppression of all living beings entering the world by the Wood Ancestor, their consciousness and senses were greatly restricted.
Even so, because the world of the Divine Tree Immortal Palace is devoid of any living beings except for outsiders.
At a certain distance, the blood released by Zhu Chongjiu was as conspicuous as a guiding light in the dark night.
Every few hundred miles the army advanced, they could sense the presence of blood. When the army had followed the blood left by Zhu Chongjiu for tens of thousands of miles, Zhu Rong Tianguang said to the immortal lords.
"Through our investigation, we discovered that these drops of blood were found approximately every thousand miles."
Therefore, it seems he was using a technique that allowed him to leap thousands of miles at a time to escape.
Upon hearing Zhu Rong Tian Guang's words, many immortal lords nodded in agreement.
However, some immortals expressed a different opinion at this moment, saying: "Judging from this person's information, he doesn't seem like such a careless person."
It's amazing that such a basic mistake was discovered by us.
Could it be that they're misleading us, or setting a trap for us?
After this immortal lord finished speaking, many other immortal lords, including Zhurong Tianguang, lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.
However, after a moment, Zhu Rongtianguang spoke up: "Whether it's a trap or he's really injured."
At least we've made some discoveries now, and we don't have to search the world like headless flies anymore.
Moreover, we can't exactly bombard the entire Divine Wood Palace to the ground bit by bit from the air, just like we did before.
Putting aside whether doing so is realistic or not, the ancestor had instructed before leaving that large-scale attacks involving rifts should not occur within the Divine Wood Immortal Palace.
Therefore, we still need to use the brute force method, searching step by step.
After Zhurong Tianguang finished speaking, one of the immortal lords angrily replied, "This is truly damn frustrating!"
When has our immortal race ever suffered such humiliation?
There are only a handful of forbidden areas in the entire metaverse, yet this human ant managed to visit them all.
This leaves us constantly stretched thin and restricted; we have to be careful about this and can't do that.
"I just want to ask our ancestor, are we, the Immortal Race, still the dominant force in this universe?"
Just as the immortal lord finished speaking, one of his colleagues quickly nudged him in the waist.
At this moment, the immortal lord also realized what was happening and felt everyone's eyes on him. He quickly apologized, "I was just angry for a moment!"
Although many immortal lords share his thoughts, he is currently the only one who has spoken so directly.
The Immortal Race runs rampant and tyrannical in the Primordial Universe, but there are still many things they cannot touch. This is something that Immortal Venerables and Immortal Emperors generally know as well.
Even some veteran immortals know about it.
However, once you know something, you know it; but no one will explain something they don't know.
Back to the main army.
Led by Zhu Rong Tian Guang, the mighty army followed the bloodstains deliberately left by Zhu Chong Jiu and searched for over 100,000 li before coming to a halt.
After looking at the dense forest before him, which was completely different from what he had seen before, a celestial lord said to Zhurong Tianguang, "Fellow celestial lord Zhurong, what lies ahead is a well-known forbidden zone within the world of the Divine Tree Celestial Palace."
Over the years, countless people have died inside.
Even the documented Heavenly Monarch-level experts number no fewer than fifteen.
After listening to the man's words, Zhu Rong Tian Guang looked at the strange dense forest in front of him and said, "There are two points now."
The first possibility is that the human ant was genuinely injured and ran into this forbidden area, using its strangeness to delay our pursuit of him.
Secondly, he is misleading us.
They lured us into this eerie place and then played a game of catching mice with us.
Regardless of which one, this is not the Dead Black Sea, where those sea monsters serve as his allies.
With our army of several million, plus several hundred Immortal Lords, I don't believe we can let him turn the world upside down.
After saying this, Zhu Rong Tian Guang ordered, "Let the third army in the void take over from the second army."
The second army descended into the world and joined them.
An hour later, the first and second armies finally joined together.
Looking at the nearly seven million-strong army and more than two hundred immortal lords, Zhu Rong Tian Guang suddenly felt proud.
"I also have to thank that human ant. Otherwise, even if I died, I, as a Celestial Lord, would never have been able to command such a large army in battle, let alone with hundreds of Celestial Lord powerhouses of the same level as me."
After sighing, Zhurong Tianguang continued to issue orders;
"All the celestial soldiers and generals, spaced a hundred meters apart, formed a long rectangular formation stretching a thousand miles to search forward."
After arranging the army, he turned to give orders to the immortal lords: some to patrol the skies, some to lead the charge, and some to weave through the ranks.
To avoid suspicion, Zhu Rong Tian Guang always rushed to the forefront of danger.
And so, the army marched into this strange and dangerous dense forest.
Zhu Chongjiu, hundreds of thousands of miles away, used the authority granted to him by the Wood Ancestor deep in the dense forest to witness all of this. He then smiled and muttered to himself, "This Zhurong Tianguang really does have a knack for commanding."
However, even without the authority granted by the Wood Ancestor, the idea of capturing me in this way is wishful thinking.
At this point, Zhu Chongjiu sensed the distant army and said "Oh?" before continuing, "They also brought quite a few auxiliary tools."
Fortunately, due to the special nature of this Divine Tree Palace, it cannot be burrowed underground.
Otherwise, where will you look for me?
In this way, time passed bit by bit.
The army has been inside this mysterious forest for three days.
Apart from the bloodstains left by Zhu Chongjiu that could be found at intervals, nothing else was discovered.
Zhu Rong Tian Guang looked around and found himself surrounded by enormous trees that were thousands or even tens of thousands of meters tall.
The branches and leaves of the trees blocked not only the light from penetrating the entire land, but also the ever-present wind.
Fortunately, in this world full of green plants, there were no mosquitoes, snakes, or ants to bother them; the only sounds were the breathing of the people and the footsteps of their footsteps.
The most common sound is, of course, the friction between the body and the plant.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Rong Tian Guang suddenly spoke up to everyone, saying, "Our mission this time may be a long one."
It could take several months, or even several years, to stay in this dense forest.
So please don't remain so silent.
Don't be afraid that making a sound will disturb the enemy.
A search involving millions of troops is already the most powerful guiding light.
After Zhu Rongtian finished speaking, some scattered conversations gradually began to emerge from the eerie dense forest.
Seeing that things were finally starting to look lively, Zhurong Tianguang sighed and secretly regretted it, saying, "I shouldn't have done that in the first place! I regret it so much!"
Zhu Chongjiu, who was lying on a tree trunk, suddenly got up and said with a wicked smile, "It's been three days. I can finally relax my guard a bit."
If that's the case, then if there's one less person, shouldn't it be discovered?
"Alright, let the killing begin!"
As soon as Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, he began to laugh maniacally.
