Only My Way

This is a village completely surrounded by high walls.

The combined permanent and transient population is less than ten thousand.

Although the walls are made of stones and trees,

they appear quite simple.

However, with a thickness of ten meters and a height of seventy to eighty meters, they can still provide the residents with some necessary basic defense.

Useful at times.

But largely useless against powerful enemies... …

It can only be said that stopping wild beasts is not a problem.

It was early morning.

The sun and moon had just completely switched over.

Gentle sunlight.

Was being cast upon the earth.

Standing on the high wall, looking down at the heavy gate that was slowly being opened and the bustling people going in and out,

a guard with mediocre strength couldn't help but exhale lightly.

“Another day…”

“Hopefully, today will remain uneventful…”

That was a very simple and direct expectation.

As for whether this wish could be fulfilled?

No one could say for sure…

Not to mention him.

Even the three chieftains of this village.

Those three powerhouses who had reached the [Qi Cultivation Realm].

Dared not guarantee that they could see the sun tomorrow.

Life and death are destined.

Flourishing like weeds, then silently dying like weeds.

This is the fate of various settlements in this area.

How long everyone can survive.

Compared to raw strength.

Often it mainly depends on luck…

A village that has existed for a hundred years.

It is normal for it to be slaughtered overnight without warning.

It's not worth making a fuss about at all.

At least the locals wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it…

Right now.

Just as the guard was pondering whether to go have breakfast later, or take advantage of the current lull to go have breakfast,

suddenly.

His gaze.

In the distant and boundless sky.

Saw a black dot.

A black dot that was moving towards this side.

And constantly decreasing in altitude…

Initially.

The guard only thought it was some kind of bird.

This was a common occurrence in this area.

But soon.

He realized he was wrong.

As the distance closed.

He directly discovered that there was actually a line behind that black dot.

A line that was becoming more and more obvious as the distance closed…

Things were obvious.

That black dot had forcefully carved a scar in the pure white sea of clouds…

Looking at that scene.

The guard immediately swallowed his saliva.

He understood.

The existence that could cause such a commotion.

Was either a demon beast with extremely strong strength.

Or those high-flying cultivators.

Regardless of which one it was.

They would definitely not be easy to deal with!

As a weakling.

A weakling who didn't want to get involved in troublesome matters.

He could only sincerely hope that the other party was just passing by…

Please don't come here!!

At the same time.

As time went on.

Not only him.

Even the other guards and many people inside and outside the village.

Gradually noticed something was wrong.

Some guys who had not yet entered the village, dropped their goods on the spot without saying a word.

Decisively ran towards the less crowded places.

Only wanting to escape!!

Even if they didn't know what the thing in the sky was.

After all.

To live long in this area.

You must be decisive!!

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

After encountering something that doesn't feel right.

Regardless of whether the other party is dangerous or not, just run first!!

Those were rows of exceptionally tall trees.

The average height was at least over a hundred meters.

Although they were plants.

Looking around.

They presented a strange texture.

A texture like a hard object.

Giving everyone a feeling of being very hard, like stone or metal.

Therefore.

When everyone cast their gaze over.

They immediately had the feeling of witnessing a giant wall!!

And that giant tree wall formed by trees.

Was actually the dividing line between the [Demon Luo Tree Sea] and the outside area.

Those special trees that looked quite conspicuous.

It is said that they were the result of a demon king inside the [Demon Luo Tree Sea] transforming them through special means.

Not only are they extremely vital and grow extremely fast.

But also the requirements for the environment are extremely low.

They can grow naturally in most places.

Once mature.

The roots of the trees can easily reach areas thousands of meters underground.

Directly drawing the nutrients they need from the depths of the earth.

And.

As tree species nurtured and processed by special forces.

These trees all possess extremely high hardness.

Even in the newly adult state, they are enough to rival ordinary hundred-refined fine iron.

Those giant trees with hundreds or even thousands of years of age, their hardness is enough to make even cultivators have a headache.

Of course.

The resistance of these plants to water, fire, lightning, disease, insects… is also not weak at all.

With them present.

Basically, most natural disasters can be suppressed.

Therefore.

Many times, even people living in other areas will try to migrate the seeds of this tree to other areas for various purposes…

Whether it is waiting for them to mature and using their trunks to make wooden armor, or using them to improve the soil on both sides of the river, thereby reducing the probability of mudslides, are all good choices.

As for directly engaging in logging work next to the [Demon Luo Tree Sea], relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to eat the water, relying on the forest to eat the forest?

That's simply courting death…

Because there are often demon beasts patrolling and hunting around.

Even the closest formal official city.

Is a full hundred kilometers away in a straight line.

This is like some kind of tacit understanding.

A tacit understanding between humans and demon beasts.

The tree wall from the [Demon Luo Tree Sea] and the city from the [Human Civilization] have left each other with a buffer zone of hundreds of kilometers.

Neither side will actively approach the other.

In this buffer zone.

At most, there will be some villages or fortresses.

They are mainly built by some fearless guys.

Some are simply bandit gathering places.

Others are specifically providing related services for those adventurers who are not afraid of death and try to enter the [Demon Luo Tree Sea] to find treasures, or merchants who come to purchase various related materials.

In short.

As a three-no-management zone jointly defaulted by the demon beast overlords inside the [Demon Luo Tree Sea] and the ruling class of the [Human Civilization].

Whether a high-level demon beast dies here.

Or various human settlements are slaughtered, or human cultivators from various forces die here.

It's all their own fault.

No one will hold anyone accountable.
