Chapter 317: Chapter 299 Followers of the God of the Jungle_1

Standing on the blood-stained grassland, Pang Jian looked down and saw that the grass beneath his feet seemed very obedient.

——Only the grass under his feet was obedient.

In other directions, any leaf that had been stained with blood was absorbing it like a sponge soaking up water.

They appeared ravenous and greedy.

Some leaves even twisted around, desperately moving towards nearby skeletons, puncturing the corpses with their blades to consume the flesh within the bones.

The survivors who had made it through clearly suffered a great deal and had cleared away the weeds beneath their feet with their belongings.

The ground they stood on was completely barren.

"Something special..."

Pang Jian’s brow twitched, knowing that it must be the Eight Leaves of Life in his heart that allowed him to avoid being attacked by the plants.

"Friend!"

Chang Li of Sky Curtain Cliff called out loudly, reminding him, "All the flowers and trees can be manipulated by the enemy!"

"Ninety percent of us from Sky Curtain Cliff died in this forest, it’s too tragic."

"If you can send a message out, I hope you can get more people from the Sword Tower to come to this forest to rescue us!"

Chang Li kept pleading.

"Sky Curtain Cliff..."

Pang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Like the Sword Tower and Sky Water Swamp, Sky Curtain Cliff was also a sect force of the Qitian Continent.

This sect was weaker, far from comparable to Sword Tower, and not as well-regarded as Sky Water Swamp.

He had not expected cultivators from Sky Curtain Cliff to enter the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land ahead of others.

And to have suffered the Alien Tribes’ assault already.

As for the Green Spirit Tribe...

Pang Jian frowned and observed, feeling the Outer Realm visitors wrapped in black veils, only revealing a pair of emerald eyes, their presence seemed extremely similar to the Wood Tribe from Thousand Miles of Cloud Land.

——Moreover, they could also use plants to launch attacks.

"Pang Jian!"

Zhao Yuanqi appeared above the ancient trees, maneuvering a big red gourd.

"Shua shua shua! Ji ji!"

Suddenly the giant tree’s branches and leaves intersected, obscuring the sky above everyone’s heads.

As a result, Zhao Yuanqi couldn’t descend at all, and the people in the woods couldn’t see the sky anymore.

The entire sky was now dense with branches and leaves; the forest was completely sealed off.

"Friend, why don’t you go help the Red-eyed Demon Wolf! It was in the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land that it promoted its bloodline to level six, and it’s our main force against the Alien Tribes!"

Chang Li of Sky Curtain Cliff urged in haste.

They now dared not run around and could only move in areas where the weeds had been cleared, watching the Red-eyed Demon Wolf being attacked by numerous sharp branches, they could only support it with some sharp implements.

At that moment.

The Green Spirit Tribe member wrapped in black veils appeared dazed, as if possessed by an evil spirit from another realm.

His eyes suddenly changed!

A deathly intent that made all things wither released from his gaze, pervading the heavens and the earth.

Wherever He looked, the flowers and saplings beside Pang Jian were infected with His disseminated power of death, wilting one after the other.

Suddenly He said, "It’s you!"

"It’s you!"

Pang Jian exclaimed at the same time.

Shocked, he decisively flew into the sky with his spear, prepared to escape from this dreadful forest.

A level six warrior of the Green Spirit Tribe, in terms of the realm equivalent to the Human Race, was at the Spirit Condensation Realm for a cultivator.

To confront such a member of the Alien Tribes, relying on his many oddities, as well as the Bee King guiding him here, he had some confidence.

But the sudden presence of that Alien God in this person’s body completely disrupted Pang Jian’s plan.

Now he just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

However, what happened next caused him to hesitate.

"I control my body, it’s mine to command!"

The Green Spirit Tribe member seated on a leaf as large as a banana leaf railed angrily, pulling at the black veil wrapped around his body, even covering his pair of emerald eyes.

This way, there was no part of his body exposed anymore.

It seemed he was preventing the possession by the Alien God in this manner, retaining his own spiritual consciousness.

"Newcomer, one of the Jungle Gods my tribe worships seems to recognize you."

"I’m Kaz, from the Forest Moon World, please tell me..."

He stood up from the banana leaf.

He held a green wooden stick, and even though his eyes were covered by a black veil, he turned towards Pang Jian, who was escaping with his spear, and asked, "What’s your name?"

"Pang Jian."

Pang Jian, about to rush toward the leafy dome above, paused for a moment and then looked down.

"Purgatory, Pang Jian, good!"

In the black veil, Kaz seemed to be sneering with a cold smile, saying, "One of our Jungle Gods has set His sights on you, attempting to kill you by descending into me."

"However, I’ve stopped Him because I plan to kill you myself."

"Trying to leave? Can you get away?"

Kaz, holding the wooden stick, lightly leaped on the giant leaf.

A gleam of green lightning flashed by, and he appeared on the interwoven canopy of leaves.

Kaz, standing on those leaves with his body hanging like a stalactite, swung his stick down again.

"Xiu! Xiu xiu!"

Several giant trees responded to him, thousands of sharp branches like swords and long spears densely jabbed at Pang Jian as he flew with his spear.

The people below looked up just to see Pang Jian in midair, surrounded on all sides by branches radiating green alien light.

"Hua!"

Pang Jian merged the powers of lightning, earth flame, and the sun to form a deep red Spiritual Power Strong Shield, which spread outwards to resist the penetration of countless branches.

"Thump! Thump thump!"

The branches struck the Firm Cover like rain.

More and more branches pierced towards it, hitting the Firm Cover like a torrential downpour, yet they failed to break through this strong defensive line.

"The one targeted by the God of the Jungle sure has some tricks up his sleeve."

Upside down, Kaz, with his eyes covered by a cloth, could still see through all the plants and trees that served as his eyes.

He muttered to himself before preparing to unleash even more powerful Divine Skills.

An ancient tree, thirty zhang tall, uprooted itself, its branches, roots, and leaves all shining with divine light as it charged straight at Pang Jian.

The infinite branches piercing towards Pang Jian made way for the giant tree.

"Boom!"

Pang Jian’s deep red light shield, struck by the huge tree, shattered.

Then the branches that had slightly withdrawn came stabbing forth again like swords and spears.

"Clang! Clang clang!"

Pang Jian’s skin, which was like coated in silver, sparked with fire as he was assaulted and fell from mid-air.

The moment he landed, the floating giant tree, having gathered its strength, pressed down like a mountain.

"Underneath the light shield, there is actually flesh and blood as strong as ours!"

Kaz grew increasingly surprised, swinging the wooden stick in his hand as if he’d discovered a new continent.

Near Pang Jian, the branches of the surrounding trees moved along the ground like hundreds of strange snakes coiling towards him.

In the blink of an eye, the tough yet flexible vines had bundled Pang Jian up.

"Drain his flesh."

Kaz instructed.

The vine-like tendrils, with sharp ends, immediately headed for Pang Jian’s ears, nostrils, mouth, and eyes, each flashing with a cold green light.

In an instant, the sharp vine tips became lethal weapons!

Who knows how many disciples of Sky Curtain Cliff, scions of Second Realm noble families, and Individual Cultivators had met their end in this manner, with their heads pierced by these branches and their brain marrow and blood drained.

"Mysterious Turtle Shell!"

Pang Jian called out in his heart, and the turtle shell moved from his chest to cover his face and ears like a mask.

The sharp vines struck the Mysterious Turtle Shell to no effect, not even causing a scratch.

"Chaos..."

Unable to move his limbs, Pang Jian gathered various Alien Powers within his body, preparing to erupt with chaotic Sword Intent.

"It’s over."

Chang Li of Sky Curtain Cliff sighed.

"Even someone from Sword Tower can’t deal with this Alien Tribes creature?"

Zhao Yuanqi of the Xiao Family from Qitian Continent, clenching her teeth, pulled out a withered branch that had deeply embedded into her smooth thigh bone.

Watching Pang Jian being overtaken by vines from afar, she said in disappointment, "Before the sky was covered by leaves, I saw the Desolated Terrains and that legendary Sky Peng Ship."

"Perhaps we can only hope for someone from the Desolated Terrains now."

She applied medicine to her thigh and briefly bandaged it, then continued, "Chang Li, we should find a way ourselves to save the Red-eyed Demon Wolf. It is a sixth-level Spirit Beast that has only just advanced in rank and hasn’t fully adapted to its power yet. Because of it, we were able to survive until now; it’s our pillar."

Struggling to stand up, she beckoned to the Red-eyed Demon Wolf and asked, "Can you come here?"

This Red-eyed Demon Wolf had been with her for six years, and the two of them shared a profound bond.

It was also thanks to the Red-eyed Demon Wolf’s Bloodline advancement in the Mysterious Fog that they were able to survive up to this point after reaching the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land and falling into this terrifying forest.

The Red-eyed Demon Wolf shook its head, telling her with its eyes that being too close to her would only harm her.

"Thump!"

The fifth-level Golden Rock Beast, with a body like dark golden rock, was finally penetrated by the sharp tree trunk.

The three-zhang-tall beast, nearly five zhang in length and resembling a majestic lion, was immediately penetrated by more branches.

Immediately, blood and flesh began to be sucked away by the bloodthirsty branches as it hung mid-air.

Its robust body rapidly withered.

"Howl!"

The Red-eyed Demon Wolf let out a mournful howl as its last companion was devoured by the terrifying trees of the forest.

"Not bad, quite nourishing."

Upside down, Kaz, wrapped in a black cloth, emitted a pale golden glow as if he had absorbed the essence and blood of the fifth-level Golden Rock Beast into his stomach.

That faint golden glow further deepened the despair of the survivors from Sky Curtain Cliff and the Xiao Family below.

"Eh!"

Kaz suddenly cried out.

He sensed a force of twisted chaos erupting from the body of Pang Jian, entangled by countless vines. Through the vines’ perspective, he also saw a circle of black and yellow halos filling Pang Jian’s body.

As the sharp vine tips came into contact with those halos, they shattered with a puff.

Within the cage-like vines, Pang Jian’s pupils congealed into a gold color, as if eighteen streaks of golden lightning were darting within his iris.

"Divine Sense!"

Kaz exclaimed.

"Boom!"

Various different types of power exploded from Pang Jian’s chest, palms, eyes, and forehead.

All the tough branches turned instantly into sawdust and fragments.

Pang Jian sat up from the ground, holding the Astonishing Spear in his left hand, and with a thought.

Six streams of golden Divine Sense immediately entered the Astonishing Spear, turning the shining Long Spear into another body for him, imbued with his own spiritual consciousness.

"Go!"

The Astonishing Spear shot towards Kaz.

"Again!"

The Star-shattering Umbrella and Nine Suns Tripod also flew towards the sky, one following the other.

The eighteen streams of golden Divine Sense from Pang Jian, six each infused into the Astonishing Spear, Star-shattering Umbrella, and Nine Suns Tripod, creating the closest possible rapport between them and him.
