In the quiet forest, countless big trees soared into the sky, with wide crowns and staggered heights, almost covering the sky and sun. Only a few rays of sunlight can be scattered. The ground is covered with layers of rotten leaves, and I don’t know how long it has been accumulated. When I stepped on it, it looks like a soft carpet, soft and elastic.

Wu Yuanqiu held the woodcutting axe in her hand, bent her body, and with a little sunshine, she groped forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, with the expression on her face very vigilant.

Even after seeing it many times, he still felt that this forest was particularly strange, with no beasts, no birds, and even insects. Only large black trees with unknown species stood quietly, as if all the essence in this land had been sucked dry by these strange trees, and even the air was filled with a cold and harsh chill.

Moreover, the deeper you go, the more intense the chill becomes.

Wu Yuanqiu held the axe in his hand tighter and walked more cautiously. Even if it was just the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, he would suddenly lower his body.

Want to go out!

I want to walk through this forest and see what's outside the forest!

I want to see if I can cultivate immortality and gain extraordinary power!

He walked and stopped from time to time, and went deep into the forest with great care. Suddenly, he listened for a moment, quickly shrank under the roots of a big tree, and used the shadow of the trees to cover up his body.

After a moment, a slight friction sounded, and a tree spirit barely appeared in a human form, covered with old tree bark, and nearly three meters tall, walked out from behind a big tree.

Wu Yuanqiu completely held her breath and curled up as much as possible, hoping that the tree spirit would just pass by, but the world did not meet the wish. The tree spirit walked to the vicinity where he was hiding, as if he had some sense of consciousness, and slowly lowered his head.

Then, without hesitation, it raised two arms twisted by vines and sucked them towards the shadow of the tree roots.

"Fake!"

Wu Yuanqiu could no longer hide it. She cursed that she was just a lazy donkey rolling around and quickly avoided the violent attack. Then she raised the long-handed logging axe in her hand and thrust hard at the waist of the tree spirit, cutting the broken wood flying and the juice splashed.

The tree spirit was angry, and the branches and leaves on its body trembled. It twisted and waved its arms again to sweep towards him quickly, but he still dodged it and only sucked the thick rotten leaves on the ground and flew all over the sky.

Then, Qiuli of Mizutan returned to his color and slashed it with an axe again.

In an instant, each person and a tree started a fight without any communication, sacrificing their lives. The tree spirit did not hide from the axe, and only used two arms to suck it desperately, wishing to directly draw the invader into minced meat in the sky. Wu Yuanqiu had a flexible body, circling around the tree spirit, and desperately cutting its waist.

The tree spirit was dull and slow. Wu Yuanqiu held a sharp axe and knew its habits and quickly gained the upper hand. However, before he could be happy, two vines suddenly rushed over with their arms. The wind sounded sharp and sharp, and a new tree spirit joined the battlefield.

Wu Yuanqiu fought against two, and the pressure increased instantly, and the range of being able to move quickly narrowed. The trees in the forest continued to shake, and there was a rustling sound in the dim corner. I don’t know how many tree spirits were coming to S~M him quickly.

He didn't dare to continue to fight anymore. The sneaking had failed. If he didn't escape, he would probably be crushed into meat paste on the spot.

He slashed a few axes hard, leaving a few more axe marks on the tree spirit who destroyed his plan, and then turned around and fled to the forest. For this invader, the tree spirit did not intend to let him go. Even if the speed was not as fast as him, he still chased him. From time to time, there were tree spirits blocking his way and blocking one or two.

Finally, he threw away all the axes, and then he rolled and crawled out of the forest and saw the light of day again.

He didn't dare to stay near the forest, and continued to run wildly. He passed through a piece of gravel and reached the entrance of a rocky mountain before he could stop. The tree spirit stood on the edge of the forest and "watched" him. Countless vines waved their arms all over the sky, densely packed, very much like some kind of indescribable monster. One glance was enough for ordinary people to have nightmares for three days.

"These dogs..."

Wu Yuanqiu rubbed the scratched area of ​​her left arm, and looked at the tree spirits venting their anger, and her face looked very ugly.

He had no choice but to talk about this group of tree spirits. It would be no fear. He could beat it now and could grind it to death. However, this group of tree spirits did not talk about martial ethics and would not fight you one by one. Every time, the whole family would go up together. Countless vines were sucking around, like a net of heaven and earth. Humans could not resist it at all, and they could not even hide. There was no other choice except to run away with their heads in their arms.

In order to deal with these tree spirits, he also tried other methods and had been dealing with them for two years.

At first, he wanted to bribe, bring natural amateur fertilizer (which he pulled himself), and cultivate organic fertilizer for the flowers he bought, and industrial synthetic fertilizer to express kindness. He hoped that these tree spirits could "eat" satisfactory, let the road open and let him pass through this forest safely, but these tree spirits could not speak and had no intention of communicating with him. They beat him when they saw him, and almost pasted the natural amateur fertilizer on his face.

He was angry at that time and felt that these tree spirits were shameless. He brought gasoline to think about burning the forest and did ignite the forest. However, there were too many tree spirits, and they rolled up the soil to put out the fire and fought desperately. In the end, the results were not as big as expected. The tree species were strange and not easy to burn. The few buckets of gasoline sprinkled were a seedling that caused the fire. They burned away in a blink of an eye. It was just a simple wildfire, and the tree spirits had great experience in dealing with it.

They even know how to clean out the isolation belt to prevent fire from spreading.

He then wanted to promote peace and shout before setting fire, saying that as long as he agreed to pass through the forest, he would no longer harass them. He persisted for a long time and wanted the tree spirits to surrender, but unfortunately there was no use for birds. He went to burn and the tree spirits came to fight, without any fear of trouble.

In the end, he had no choice but to start training hard, trying to force the body of a mortal to fight against extraordinary creatures, sneak or forcefully penetrate the forest, but the result was not very wonderful. There were too many tree spirits in the forest, and there was no loophole at all. Every time, just like before, you would be discovered as soon as you go into the forest, and if you didn’t run fast enough, you would be beaten to death inside.

In short, he tried every possible way and tried countless times, but he was still stuck here for two years. He could not pass through this strange forest and was forced to trap in this stone mountain - the dead forest completely surrounded the mountain. He tried all directions, all of which were damn tree spirits.

He really really wanted to leave here, see what was outside the forest, and try to find immortals and visit Taoism.

Unfortunately, I can't get out.

………

The tree spirits slowly retreated into the forest, disappeared behind the trees, slowly disappeared, and the forest returned to lifeless, spreading with a faint grey mist and moisture, just like a silent giant beast, lying there quietly, forming an insurmountable natural barrier.

Wu Yuanqiu looked at the forest quietly, and her face gradually changed from ugly to frustration.

Then, the light around him was distorted and the scenery changed. He appeared out of thin air in a single apartment of four or five square meters in size. The wallpaper was mottled, the tatami was damaged in many places, and there was a small square table in the middle, and there was an old desk and chair. The others were gone, and they were so simple.

This is where he lives now. It is located in a cheap apartment building in Shimoki District, Sapporo City, Hokkaido, Japan. It is dark and humid, with cold winters and warm summers. The rent is 30,000 yen per month, and the water and electricity bills are self-paid, no property fees, no administrators, and a small bathroom that is difficult to turn around. There is no kitchen or bathroom. Please go to the big bathhouse on the street to take a bath.

Only those who are particularly nervous will choose to live here, which is a little better than Internet cafes and capsule hotels. The environment is really not a good word, but Wu Yuanqiu doesn't care. Compared with being unable to cultivate immortals and unable to obtain extraordinary power, poor living conditions are not worth mentioning.

He pressed his chest and took a few quick breaths to relieve the physical discomfort caused by the change of space. Then he sat cross-legged on the tatami.

It has been two years since I spent a lot of time, wasted a lot of energy, and worked hard to exercise my body. I have reached a certain limit, but I still can't live without that mountain. The investment is worthless. Should I give up?

You can't spend your whole life on this matter, right?

but……
