Rustle, rustle, rustle—
The neat silhouettes of trees descending as if with no end in sight, looked from a distance like an endless green ribbon, softly swaying in the breeze.
When Jiang Dali really entered the Small Sixfold Heart Capturing Array, the view before his eyes had become unfamiliar.
All around him, to the left and right, were swaying tree shadows.
The wooden hut he had previously observed from above was now nowhere to be seen.
According to his calculations, the place where he landed should have been near the hut.
But at this moment, looking left and right, all he saw was a dense forest.
"The land has changed, yet the heavens have not; this array, although formidable, is still not the utmost pinnacle of the Heavenly Human Formation since human capabilities are limited."
Sniffing the fresh scent of the soil around him, Jiang Dali judged, based on the South Sea Sect’s array experience, that this area of the forest was actually equipped with mechanisms.
After he entered, the mechanism would cause the forest floor to move, thereby changing the terrain to confuse people, which is why there was a faint scent of the soil being churned in the air.
He looked up at the sky.
Demon Hawk was still circling a short distance above his head.
On Demon Hawk’s back, Wang Yuyan was shouting and gesticulating, pointing him toward a location on the ground to the left below.
However, to the left was a line of trees that almost required one to forcefully squeeze through just to barely make it past.
"Haha, interesting. With such densely packed tree walls, ordinary people subconsciously wouldn’t charge headfirst into them, thus naturally taking other routes, and in that case, they would never find the way out."
Jiang Dali chuckled lightly, feeling his understanding of this type of array deepening quite a bit; the proficiency of the fragmented Array recorded in the panel also subsequently increased a little.
He immediately drew out the Golden-Backed Great Saber from behind him, took a stride forward, deeply inhaled, and suddenly slashed out horizontally.
A massive seven to eight meters long Saber Qi harshly swept across.
Crack, crack, crack!—
A large row of trees was directly chopped down and destroyed.
Jiang Dali strode into the gap.
But the moment he entered, he felt his footsteps sink.
Looking down, he saw the ground covered with a dense, velvet-like plant.
The moment he stepped on this plant, it seemed to react violently, with its hair-like stems boring into his War Boots.
Like a parasitic body, it sent root stems that were like sharp thorns through his pores, penetrating the skin of his feet and using straw-like openings to suck his blood and fat.
A series of damage notifications, accompanied by the appearance of red glows, burst forth all at once.
This was just in the span of a breath.
"What the hell is this? Vincetoxicum? Since when is Vincetoxicum this treacherous?"
Jiang Dali’s heart chilled, and he immediately spurred his True Qi to expel these plant stems.
Then, a golden Qi Force burst out from his body.
The archaic Golden Bell Shield roared into existence, surrounding him, forcibly clearing a two-meter space in the Earth Realm.
In an instant, the trees made "crack" noises, either breaking apart or being shoved aside haphazardly, and the ground’s bizarre plants were crushed into juice.
However, that juice emitted a sweet, tingling scent.
Jiang Dali only had to smell this scent, and he felt an inexplicable exhilaration in both his emotions and his body, with an unexpected reaction occurring below, he knew immediately that something was wrong.
"This ghost array has quite a few tricks up its sleeve; Iron Gall Divine Hou seems to have included other insidious ghostly devices."
Red-faced, Jiang Dali bellowed, instantly entering the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill State, exuding brilliant golden light, as the great saber danced wildly at his waist, creating a fierce Vortex Blade Qi, and his entire being charged forward, sweeping through all the obstructing trees, pressing on directly.
After he burst through another seven to eight meters.
Row upon row of tree walls was completely leveled by Jiang Dali alone.
He suddenly had a clear view in front of him, revealing a wooden hut.
Looking back, he saw fallen trees and crushed plants scattered chaotically on the ground.
"The Array truly lives up to its name, a lifeless object yet it could harm Laozi.
If an ordinary person entered this array, without Demon Hawk in the sky to act as a guide, and lacking a body that was Immune to Poison like mine, they likely wouldn’t be able to break out of it."
Jiang Dali frowned slightly as he pondered, slowly performing a cycle of Cultivation, his face flushing slightly, and a wisp of white smoke emerging from the top of his head, expelling the invigorating and exciting toxins from his body.
Those Vincetoxicum-like plants that penetrated through his tough skin and pores into his body to suck blood, after being shattered by him, even emitted juice that carried a special poison.
If it were anyone else, they most likely would have fallen victim already.
Jiang Dali looked up into the sky, through the gaps between the branches overhead, like a canopy, he could see Demon Hawk still circling above.
He immediately maintained his Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill State and, holding his great saber, headed straight for the hut.
With his current strength, if he only maintained the normal state of Vajra Unbreakability, without undergoing an extremely fierce battle, he could last up to half an hour.
Even now, after discussing and creating a new Cross Training Technique with Wang Yuyan, he could immediately place parts of his body or his entire body, into that unified inward-outward Cross Training State of Golden Bell Unbreakability.
This undoubtedly greatly enhanced his endurance and maneuverability in battle.
He made his way to the hut without any trouble, pushed the door, and entered, without encountering any further surprises.
Inside the hut, Jiang Dali’s gaze first fell upon a sandalwood box placed on the table.
Aside from that, there were just two chairs, a coffee table, an ordinary wooden bed, a wardrobe, with nothing else worth noting.
