Chapter 1174: Strange Primitive Tree

Deep within the fog realm, after a prolonged flight, Liu Yan finally reached the heart of the fog realm.

Beyond the boundless sea lay a massive island.

From afar, the island appeared shrouded in towering trees, their details obscured.

The forest, dense with these lofty trees, was unfathomable, concealing unknown dangers within.

Looking into the distance, the fog obscured any sense of the island’s true size or the extent of the forest’s reach.

As dusk settled, the white fog of the fog realm took on an orange hue, offering the clearest visibility of the day.

Such a scene, coupled with the serene forest, painted a tranquil picture that seemed almost ethereal.

Yet Liu Yan dared not let his guard down in the slightest.

Beyond this calm facade, he didn’t know what perils lay hidden.

This serene moment marked dusk, the fog realm’s prime time for visibility.

But beyond dusk awaited nightfall.

The night in the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower was inherently dangerous, not to mention the absolute darkness in the fog realm, which was filled with numerous dangers. The seemingly tranquil forest in the distance also teemed with threats.

Normally, the forest’s periphery echoed with various sounds of wildlife-birdsong, cicada chirps, and more.

Yet at this moment, the distant forest lay eerily silent, devoid of any sound.

This forest was like an abyss. The calmer its surface appeared, the more terrifying its depths. However, Liu Yan had no alternative.

The night was approaching, and Liu Yan had to find shelter within this forest.

Regardless of the dangers ahead, Liu Yan had to press forward.

After all, his journey into the fog realm was for exploration, to face challenges head-on, and to bolster his strength quickly with each gain.

And where opportunity beckoned, danger often lurked. Liu Yan was compelled to advance into peril.

The only Purple Wind Falcon left outside for reconnaissance was also recalled by Liu Yan. Once again, Liu Yan was alone.

Without hesitation, Liu Yan flapped the Wings of Wind God, his SSS-grade special equipment on his back, and flew towards the distant mysterious forest.

Dusk offered the best visibility for Liu Yan to locate a suitable resting place. This strategic move would ensure his relative safety come nightfall, allowing him to prepare adequately.

Before long, Liu Yan touched down on the island’s depths within the fog realm.

As twilight lingered, visibility remained favorable. Liu Yan’s perception now extended nearly a hundred meters around him.

Outside, Liu Yan effortlessly monitored an area spanning thousands of meters. Yet within the fog realm’s depths, his current hundred-meter range was already quite substantial.

During the daytime, Liu Yan’s perception extended for dozens of meters.

But come deep night, it shrank pitifully to just ten to twenty meters in radius. It was quite short indeed.

Upon entering this forest for the first time, Liu Yan was struck by its absolute silence.

It seemed as if there were no creatures at all in the periphery of this forest, making Liu Yan appear to be the sole living being there.

Liu Yan carefully surveyed his surroundings. He noticed that the trees around him were towering primitive giants, reaching up to a hundred meters in height.

Such colossal primitive trees were rare and astonishing even on the Blue Planet, but within the Wind Barrier on the tower’s sixth level, they were quite commonplace.

After all, Liu Yan had encountered countless Withered Tree Spirits before. Normal ones reached dozens of meters in height, with many stretching to a hundred meters. The Withered Tree Spirit Kings even soared to a thousand meters.

Compared to these, the hundred-meter-tall primitive trees before him paled in significance.

Besides these primitive trees, Liu Yan discovered nothing else around.

Not a single creature stirred, not even common flowers or grasses were visible.

The forest was a bare landscape dominated solely by these primitive trees.

Despite their lush appearance with green leaves adorning their branches, the absence of other vegetation made the scene particularly eerie.

With Liu Yan’s prior experience, he naturally knew that when plants grow to a certain stage and absorb enough spiritual energy and nutrients, they can evolve into monster plants.

The Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower and the Withered Tree Spirit were prime examples. Given the bizarre sight before him, it was highly likely.

Even though Liu Yan did not detect any energy fluctuations or signs of life from these primitive trees, he remained cautious and didn’t dare to let his guard down.

After all, many monster plants excelled at camouflage, rendering them undetectable.

Liu Yan remained cautious, constantly wary of potential attacks that could come at any moment, while also questioning the Withered Tree Spirit King.

Liu Yan directly asked the Withered Tree Spirit King about the situation with the surrounding primitive trees, whether they were monster plants, and if there were any traps present.

The Withered Tree Spirit King itself was a monster plant, boasting a formidable 19-star combat prowess and over a millennium of existence, granting it vast knowledge. It was the most suitable source for Liu Yan’s inquiries.

Utilizing Liu Yan’s perspective, the Withered Tree Spirit King surveyed the surrounding primitive trees and concluded, “These primitive trees indeed appear quite eerie, resembling monster plants. However, they are merely ordinary trees, not monster plants. I’m unsure why these primitive trees failed to evolve into monster plants, but it seems some biological intervention prevented it. It appears these primitive trees were transplanted here by certain creatures!”

Liu Yan was taken aback by the Withered Tree Spirit King’s explanation.

He hadn’t anticipated that these primitive trees, which had survived for so long, to be unable to grow into monster plants. It was really strange.

Moreover, the fact that they had been deliberately transplanted by certain creatures made it even more mysterious.

However, through the explanation of the Withered Tree Spirit King, Liu Yan learned that although the creatures behind these primitive trees were somewhat strange and powerful, the trees themselves posed no danger. They were indeed just ordinary plants.

Having confirmed this, Liu Yan felt reassured and proceeded to explore further.

Dusk wouldn’t linger, and Liu Yan was keen not to waste any more time.

As for the creatures behind these primitive trees, while they might be formidable, they posed

no immediate threat to Liu Yan. For now, at least.

Liu Yan ventured deeper into the forest, simultaneously activating his S-grade skill,

Omniscient Insight, to sense his surroundings.

His perception range was only a hundred meters. Initially, Liu Yan felt somewhat unaccustomed to it, but after adapting, he found it sufficient.

After all, when Liu Yan first acquired the S-grade skill, Omniscient Insight, his perception

range was also this size. It was akin to Liu Yan transitioning from luxury to frugality at this moment. Though challenging, he managed to adapt.
