Chapter 541: First Entering the Wilderness
wrong!

Gu Shiyi suddenly realized that something was wrong!

There are no animals in this forest!
In order to avoid being discovered, she flew away on the magic wind at night, and after daybreak, she landed in the forest and walked on foot. She was strong and could climb mountains and cross rivers as if they were walking on flat ground. Walking was actually more conducive to hiding, so she took the fox and the king into the forest. After walking for about half an hour, she finally realized that something was wrong!
The forest was eerily quiet. There wasn't a single animal within a five-mile radius, not even any insects or snakes!

This is very wrong!
Earlier she thought it was her demonic aura that scared away all the nearby animals!
However, the demonic aura is really effective. Any animal with a little intelligence, if it smells Gu Shiyi's breath and senses the majesty of the powerful demon clan, will be scared and flee far away. But those insects and mosquitoes that have no intelligence are not so sensitive and cannot detect Gu Shiyi's demonic aura unless they get close, so it is not so effective!
But now Gu Shiyi found that there was not even a single big mosquito with flowery legs that was rampant in the mountains near him. This was really wrong!

Gu Shiyi frowned and glanced at the fox and the king.

"How come you guys noticed it, but I didn't notice anything?"

The fox thought for a moment and said,

"Why don't you try not using your demon sense?"

Gu Shiyi thought for a moment and withdrew her demon consciousness, standing there quietly. Suddenly, her eyebrows moved, and she turned her head. The hatchet behind her turned into a white light and rushed towards the giant tree about ten feet ahead, which was so big that ten people could not hug it.

"boom……"

After the white light passed, there was no expected knife mark on the trunk of the giant tree, and not even a piece of bark was cut off.
"what!"

Gu Shiyi was shocked. Although his hatchet was a low-level magic weapon, it should be able to chop down a tree. But how come after this chop, except for some fallen leaves on top of his head, there was no damage on the trunk of the giant tree?
Gu Shiyi took back the hatchet and walked over to take a look. There was not even a white mark left on the bark.
"Eh...this is really weird!"

Gu Shiyi thought for a moment and slapped the giant tree with her hand. She infused 30% of her demonic power into this palm.

"boom……"

With one palm strike, the giant tree shook, and many branches and leaves fell down. There was still no damage on the tree trunk, but a strange groan came from inside the tree trunk.

"what……"

The voice was long and slow, and it was a male voice. Gu Shiyi actually heard a little ambiguity in it, and goose bumps immediately appeared on the back of his neck.
"Tsk tsk! If you want to scream, just scream. But don't scream so disgustingly, okay?"

Gu Shiyi couldn't help but punch the tree again.

"boom……"

This time, fresh fist marks finally appeared on the tree.

"what……"

This time the sound was rapid and painful. Gu Shiyi rubbed his wrist.

"What are you yelling about? Is that all you can do? Can you speak?"

After saying that, he was about to hit him again, but a blurry human face appeared on the tree trunk, with a nose, eyes and a mouth.

"Stop...hitting...anymore..."

The face on the tree opened and closed its mouth and began to speak.
"Stop...hitting...anymore!"

Gu Shiyi stopped, looked it up and down, and asked,

"What are you? You don't look like a monster, do you?"

Her demon sense scanned the tree from head to toe, but did not find any spiritual fluctuations. However, this wild land could not be measured by the common sense of the Central Plains. The demon sense did not find its existence before, which meant that it was not very useful. Seeing that the tree did not answer, she turned back to look at the king.
"My lord, is this one of your kind?"

Unexpectedly, the king stared at the tree with disgust on his fair face, shaking his head and waving his hands,
"No! It's not a plant spirit!"

What are plant spirits?
It is born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Only a place with lush vegetation and vitality can give birth to the spirits of plants and trees!

But look here, there is nothing but trees. There is not a bit of spiritual energy from heaven and earth on these trees. Instead, they are dead and full of a strange yin energy from the inside out!

The fox looked puzzled and sniffed, then said to Gu Shiyi,
"Gu Shiyi, it's really not some plant spirit?"

The plant elves have a strong plant spiritual energy, but there is nothing on this tree. How can I explain this?

It's like the tree in front of you is a fake one!
"what……"

Gu Shiyi frowned. Since entering the wild land, her demon sense had been ineffective. She looked around and found nothing unusual. Her nose was not as good as a fox's.
"Really? Then...what is it?"

The fox sniffed again.
"I smell a dead body!"

Gu Shiyi frowned even more tightly.
"Dead man...if only Yan'er were here!"

Yan'er practices ghost arts, she must know what this thing is...

Since the demon sense couldn't be used, Gu Shiyi simply didn't use it. She also sniffed like a fox. At first, she didn't notice any difference, but after taking a few more puffs, she said, "Eh... it really smells good!"

A faint stench of decay emanated from the tree. Gu Shiyi took two steps forward and looked carefully at the face on the tree. It was a man's face, and he should be quite young. At this moment, he was staring at Gu Shiyi with his eyes wide open. When Gu Shiyi moved, his eyes followed him. Gu Shiyi stroked his chin and looked at him for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand towards the face.

"what……"

The human face let out a panicked cry. Gu Shiyi formed his five fingers into claws, infused his demonic power into his fingertips, and with just one claw, he scratched the bark of the tree, causing it to scatter everywhere. His five fingers dug deep into the tree trunk, digging hard.

"Have it!"

With another strong pull, a black object was pulled out by Gu Shiyi. The three of them looked closely and saw that what Gu Shiyi was holding was a black, round object about the size of a human head, with a nose and eyes. It was the man's face.

No, it should be said that it is the man’s head!

"What is this?"

Gu Shiyi looked at the hole she had scratched again, then her expression changed, and she threw the thing in her hand to the ground with disgust.
"There's a body wrapped in this tree!"

No wonder I could smell the stench of decay, there really was a dead body there!

After Gu Shiyi tore off his head, the remaining neck contained half-woodened bones...

The fox and the king went forward to take a look and saw that it was indeed a human head. However, the head was completely wooden, but the eyeballs could still move, and the mouth could still open and close to shout.

"Ah ah ah..."

The head thrown on the ground kept screaming, which made the fox and the king shudder. Gu Shiyi was annoyed and stepped on it.
"Click..."

The head was shattered, wood chips were scattered all over the ground, and the screams stopped abruptly. Gu Shiyi looked up and saw that the tree, which was so big that ten people couldn't hug it, was withering and decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a moment, the tree was already rotten. A gust of wind blew, and the tree fell to the ground with a loud bang...

Gu Shiyi, the fox, and the king looked at each other.
"What on earth is this, a tree monster?"

After that, Gu Shiyi climbed up a smaller tree and found another body inside. After a closer look, he found that the trees in the entire forest were filled with dead bodies. There were men and women, old and young. After being disturbed by Gu Shiyi, some of them moaned softly, some screamed loudly, and some even uttered a few indistinct curses...

Gu Shiyi became more and more frightened as he walked, and said to the king and the fox,
"This forest is so fucking weird, let's get going!"

The king and the fox also nodded with a chill down their spines.

"Yes, yes, let's go!"

At that moment, Gu Shiyi, along with the king and the fox, rode the evil wind, flew into the air, and quickly fled away...

Not long after they walked, a group of barbarians with short bows on their backs came running into the forest. When they saw the fallen tree and another tree with its bark stripped off, they roared in anger.

"Who... dared to enter the place of eternal sleep and disturb the tribesmen who were waiting to be resurrected?"

Someone raised his head, sniffed around with the help of the mountain wind, and then said to the leading man,
"It's not a human, it's a beast. It should be a beast that has become spiritual. It's a... it should be a fox, a..."

He sniffed again.
"I don't know what it is, but its aura is very strong, and it also has a strong scent of plants..."

The leading man, whose face was covered in tattoos that had turned his entire face dark blue, nodded as he heard the words and looked up at the sky with his narrow eyes.
"It should have flown away from the sky!"

"flew away!"

"Could it be a bird with wings? Is it the strange owl nest on the eastern mountain?"

The people behind him shook their heads in confusion, and the leading man snorted coldly,

"Send someone to tell the brothers in the nearby villages, go back to the village, I want to lead people to the mountain to take a look!"

"Yes!"

Gu Shiyi, a rookie who had just entered the wilderness, naturally had no idea that he had broken into a cemetery in someone else's village. He was also mistaken for a powerful monster and people were being sent everywhere to look for him!

Gu Shiyi led the king and the fox into the mountains for another 500 miles before they found a forest that looked normal and landed there.
"Crash..."

"Gululu..."

"Sssssssssss..."

After a chaotic noise, the frightened beasts in the forest fled away. After Gu Shiyi scanned them with his demon sense, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Finally, there's a normal place!"

However, they had already gone deep into the wilderness and might have to go further inside, so Gu Shiyi had to be cautious. He first concealed his presence and killed a few unknown small animals in the woods, skinned them, built a fire, and had a barbecue. After putting out the fire, he went into the medicine garden to spend the night.
