Zhao Hai introduced new races and advanced armors to his disciples. After weeks of marching and building, his army encountered a strange, all-black forest with unusual tree shapes. Zhao Hai suspects this forest is a trap or defensive line set by the Shadow Realm.

Wen Wenhai said in a deep voice, " I think it’s very possible. This forest is too strange. The shape of the forest is even weirder, and the area of this forest is so large. In addition, there’s a no-fly array. All of this seems to be planned. It’s the place they prepared to deal with us. &Quot;

Chang Jun nodded and said, " I think so too. The sect master said before that the plants must have grown to adapt to the environment. Then, the forest must have something to do with the environment. But what kind of environment can make the plants grow to this state? " I don’t really understand this."

"It’s the wind." A very pleasant voice was heard. Everyone turned their heads and found that it was Hu Wei who had spoken. Hu Wei was the leader of the botanist team of the blood slaughter sect. She was also the most knowledgeable about plants. Now that they had encountered such a forest, as the leader of the botanist team, it was impossible for her not to participate in this meeting.

Seeing that they were looking at her, Hu Wei wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, she said in a deep voice, " &Quot; I think it must be because of the wind that those trees grew like that. The wind is too strong and too fierce, so the trees grew like that. Only one side has branches, and the branches are very soft. This way, the tree trunk can block the wind. The branches are soft and will sway with the wind, so it won’t be easily broken. So the tree must have grown like that because of the wind, a very strong wind. &Quot;

Hearing Hu Wei’s words, the few of them nodded. Yao Jianhao said, " "If that’s the case, it makes sense. But how strong is the wind? The wind that can make the tree grow like this must be very strong. But no matter how strong the wind is, will it affect cultivators?"

Everyone nodded. They were also very puzzled. No matter how strong the wind was, it shouldn’t affect cultivators too much, right? It didn’t seem to be of much use for the people of the Shadow Realm to choose this place as a defense against them, right? Therefore, everyone was very curious.

Zhao Hai looked at them and shook his head, " &Quot; it can’t be that simple. I’ve observed those trees before. The trunks of those trees are very rough, which shows that the tree trunks are actually very hard. And the trees are so thick, which is enough to show that these trees are not simple. Even so, in order to adapt to the environment, those trees still became like this. This means that the wind here is not simple. I think there might be an astral wind in the trees. &Quot;

Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, everyone was stunned. Then, their expressions changed. They were all cultivators, so they naturally knew what astral winds were. Astral winds could be said to be one of the nemesis of cultivators. It was also something that would cause the entire cultivation world to change color. Under normal circumstances, astral winds were very difficult to form. However, once they were formed, their destructive power would be extremely shocking.

The astral wind could ignore a cultivator’s defensive shield and hit directly on the cultivator’s body. Even if the cultivator used a Dharma Treasure to resist it, it wouldn’t last long before the Dharma Treasure was damaged. If the astral wind hit the body directly, even a body cultivator wouldn’t be able to withstand it for long before his body and spirit were scattered.

If there was really an astral wind in this forest, it would be really difficult for them to cross this forest. Don’t forget, there might be enemies from the Shadow Realm in the forest. But thinking of this, everyone was surprised. Wen Wenhai frowned and said, " &Quot; that’s not right. If there’s really an astral wind in the forest, then the people from the Shadow Realm wouldn’t use this place as a defense. We can’t block the astral wind, but can the people from the Shadow Realm block it? "

"Perhaps it’s the heaven Earth Law of the Shadow Realm that’s helping, or perhaps the people of the Shadow Realm have other means to resist the astral winds?" It’s useless for us to think about this now. I’m going to send a small team into the forest tomorrow to Scout and see what’s going on. Then we’ll make a decision."

Wen Wenhai and the others all nodded. They should indeed send people into the forest to check out the situation. Only by understanding the situation of this forest could they think of a way to deal with it. Of course, those who entered the forest would be in danger, but there was no other way.

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, " alright, let’s go back and rest. We’ll decide after tomorrow’s reconnaissance. If there’s really an astral wind in the forest, it’ll be a little troublesome for us to pass through it. However, it’s really strange. Shouldn’t the forest be able to offset the wind? How could this happen here? It looks like I’ll have to send someone into the forest tomorrow to take a look." The few of them responded and stood up, turning to leave Zhao Hai’s study.

The next morning, Zhao Hai and his group arrived at the perimeter of the defense line. Chang Jun personally led a small team and they flew toward the strange forest. The trees in the forest were even weirder now. All the trees looked like unfurled little flags. They did not move at all. This change made Zhao Hai feel strange. He did not understand what was going on. The branches and leaves of the trees yesterday were still moving.

Soon, the small team had reached the forest, but they were not affected at all. They were not fast and were very careful. Zhao Hai had even asked them to bring a few more defensive magic circles and twelve star constellation armors for them to put on. He was afraid that something would happen to them.

Everyone in the small team was equipped with a visual array. This array had been upgraded many times. It was like a camera that could broadcast live. It could transmit everything they saw and felt Back to Black Tortoise Island. It could also save the images so that Zhao Hai and the others could understand the situation.

The moment the team entered the forest, they saw that the defensive arrays on their bodies suddenly shattered, and cracks appeared on their armors. If it weren’t for the defensive arrays, their armors would have shattered immediately. The few of them were so scared that they immediately retreated from the forest. As soon as they left the forest, they were immediately fine. This made them a little confused and they didn’t know what was going on.

Zhao Hai had already noticed this situation. He immediately ordered the few people to retreat to the bloody massacre sect. Then, he directly led Wen Wenhai and the others back to his study room. He then pulled up the images sent back by the visual array on the few people. The image that was sent back by the visual array was not only images but also sounds.

&Quot; roar! &Quot; a loud sound reverberated throughout the room, like the roar of a giant beast. Then, the image disappeared. Nothing could be seen in the image, but Zhao Hai replayed it. He looked at the image carefully and played it again.

After playing it five times, Zhao Hai finally stopped. He turned to the others and said, " "What do you guys think?" Zhao Hai really did see something. He wanted to see if the others could see it as well. That was why he asked. He was afraid that he might have missed something.

Wen Wenhai said in a deep voice, " I can’t see anything. From the sound, it seems to be the roar of some demon beast. There seems to be no other sound besides this. &Quot; The others nodded. They had the same feeling. The sound was too much like the roar of a monster. But the strange thing was that they were not far from the forest, but they couldn’t hear any sound at all. They could only hear it from the video, which was a bit strange.

Zhao Hai turned to look at Hu Wei. Hu Wei knew what Zhao Hai wanted to ask. She shook her head and said, " &Quot; sect master, it’s useless. I tried to communicate with those trees before, but I realized that I couldn’t communicate with them at all. My mental power couldn’t touch those trees at all. It just disappeared. It’s extremely terrifying. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded. He played the video again and froze the image. Then, a tree in the video said, " &Quot; everyone, pay attention to this tree. I remember that yesterday, the branches of this tree could still move, but now they look like a flag. You may not have noticed, but there are some small hairs on the branches. These hairs are moving, which means that these trees are actually being blown by a huge, strong wind that doesn’t have any fluctuations. That’s why these trees look like flags, not because the branches suddenly hardened."It’s just that the tree was being blown by the wind. This is also why when the team entered the forest, their defensive artifacts were immediately broken. Their defensive artifacts were blown apart by the astral wind, and their twelve star armors had stronger defensive power. In addition, they were blocked by those defensive artifacts, which was why they were able to save them and immediately leave the forest."

At this point, Zhao Hai stopped. He looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, " &Quot; in other words, there is an extremely strong astral wind in this forest, and the sound we heard before should be the sound of the astral wind blowing against the trees. The reason why we can’t hear this sound is because we are still some distance away from the forest. The sound in the forest should have become another sound that is beyond our hearing range. If you don’t believe me, you can ask those disciples. They must not have heard anything. It’s just that the visual array recorded this sound. Although the visual array can record sounds, there will still be some changes to the sounds. That’s why we can hear this beast-like roar here."

Everyone looked at the scene that Zhao Hai had shown them with a dazed look. They had never thought that it would be like this. The strong astral wind in the forest was beyond their imagination. What was even more unbelievable was that they couldn’t hear the sound in the forest. Wen Wenhai immediately called one of the disciples who had participated in the operation over and asked him. The disciple had indeed not heard anything. However, they could still clearly hear the voice through the image formation. This was even stranger, but it also made them believe Zhao Hai’s words. However, this also posed a problem for them. They didn’t know how to deal with this situation.
