On Qiu Rann's side, Qiu Rann was following the section of the road that Shi Ling gave him and quickly found the lake where Shi Ling had been training all this time. Qiu Rann immediately jumped down and quickly sank into the water.

Because Qiu Rann's strength was still very low, it would be difficult for him to swim two thousand meters underwater. Helpless, he could only stop at two thousand meters underwater, however, Shi Ling had previously told him that he could only find the entrance to the cave three thousand meters underwater.

At this moment, Qiu Rann started to think about what he should do.

Soon, after frowning and pondering for a while, Qiu Rann had a flash of inspiration. He immediately sat cross-legged in the water and felt the flow of water around him. Through the flow of water, he could find the entrance to the main waterway.

After all, they were more than a thousand meters apart, so it was very difficult to detect the direction of the water. However, to the cultivator, this was not an extremely difficult matter.

When Qiu Rann spread out his mana, he could confirm the location of the hole.

At this moment, the corner of Qiu Rann's mouth raised slightly. He immediately took out the scroll and threw it towards the cave entrance. Under the control of Qiu Rann's mana, the scroll quickly arrived in front of the cave entrance.

Qiu Rann was suddenly activating the scroll. Because Qiu Rann had used this scroll before, it was easy for him to use it once.

Under the effects of the scroll, the flow of water in front of the cave quickly slowed down. Qiu Rann took out the Message Conch and then injected his mana into it to inform Shi Ling that it was enough.

"..."

At Shi Ling's side, Shi Ling and Loong Yang were standing in front of the Man-eating Tree Forest, behind them were a total of 12 people, looking ready to take action. At the same time, on the left and right sides of the forest, there were also dozens of people standing, and all of them had Flame Crystal Stone s in their hands, looking as if they were going to throw them into the Man-eating Tree Forest.

At this time, Shi Ling's Message Conch had already sent a message. Shi Ling took it out and injected mana into it.

Qiu Rann: "Senior Brother Shi Ling, I can handle this side of mine."

The corner of Shi Ling's mouth raised slightly. After that, he released the Floral Pupil and looked towards the main underground waterway. Sure enough, he saw that the originally thick stream of water had slowed down and shrunk to half its original size.

Qiu Rann had reduced the intake of water for the main waterway, so only half of the original water for the Man-eating Tree forest was left.

Seeing this, Shi Ling nodded his head in satisfaction and then replied to Qiu Rann, "Very good, let's maintain this state."

Qiu Rann: "But I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on for long. The water pressure here is too great."

Shi Ling: "That's alright. You just need to endure for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Qiu Rann: "I'll try my best."

At this moment, Shi Ling cut off the connection. He then looked at Loong Yang and said, "You can begin!"

Loong Yang nodded his head in acknowledgement. Immediately, he waved the Raging Dragon's Halberd in his hand towards the sky. After which, a shadow of the halberd flew into the sky and exploded.

When the disciples on the left and right of the Man-eating Tree Forest saw this scene, they immediately threw their Flame Crystal Stone s towards the Man-eating Tree Forest.

In an instant, a large number of Flame Crystal Stone s started to burn at the left and right ends of the Man-eating Tree forest, and those Man-eating Tree forests directly used their water sources to spray at the rising flames. At the same time, a portion of the vines in the Man-eating Tree forest lashed towards the people who threw out the Flame Crystal Stone.

However, the disciples were standing far away from them, and the vines were unable to touch them, and the disciples had no intention of attacking the vines either, all they were doing was throwing Flame Crystal Stone s at them.

On Shi Ling's side, under the gaze of his Floral Pupil, he saw the water below the Man-eating Tree forest start to gather towards the left and right sides, all concentrated on the burning area, while the water in the middle part, which was where Shi Ling was, became sparse.

When Shi Ling saw this, he said to Loong Yang and the crowd behind him, "It's now, let's go!"

With that, Shi Ling took the lead and rushed towards the center area. He raised the Black Wood Sword above his head and used an afterimage to kill it. Then, he suddenly swung it and instantly killed the few Man-eating Tree that were about to attack.

Loong Yang and the rest of the disciples also followed him with a loud roar.

Very quickly, everyone rushed into the Man-eating Tree forest. Loong Yang continuously waved the Raging Dragon Splitting Halberd in his hand, cutting down a large amount of Man-eating Tree. Even the group of people behind Loong Yang also released their strongest martial arts to destroy the Man-eating Tree forest.

As for those Man-eating Tree forests that had extremely strong regenerative abilities, without the water source, their regenerative abilities would become extremely slow. Furthermore, because they did not have enough water sources to support them, their fighting strength would plummet.

Shi Ling, who was rushing in front, had First Level Sword Qi revolving around his Black Wood Sword. When he was facing a twenty metre tall Man-eating Tree, he directly chopped down from the air, and in the next breath, the Man-eating Tree was split in half by Shi Ling. The huge trunk fell to the left and right, immediately crushing a few smaller Man-eating Tree to death.

Shi Ling rushed towards the place that was cut open, followed closely by Loong Yang, and very quickly, the group arrived at the center of the Man-eating Tree Forest.

However, the worst was to come. After Shi Ling, Loong Yang and the rest killed all the Man-eating Tree that passed by, they stopped in front of a fifty meter tall super giant Man-eating Tree.

Shi Ling and Loong Yang stood shoulder to shoulder, looking at the giant tree in front of them. At this time, Shi Ling said, "Loong Yang, can you give me some time?"

Loong Yang hoisted the Wandering Dragon Splitting Halberd over his shoulder and smiled, "How long do you need?"

Shi Ling said, "About 60 breaths of time."

Loong Yang said, "Alright, I'll give you 60 breaths of time."

As he said that, Loong Yang rushed towards the gigantic Man-eating Tree, leaving the rest to protect Shi Ling.

After taking a deep breath, Shi Ling clenched one of his hands into a fist and muttered, "Crimson Sun Explosion!"

As he said that, Shi Ling's Heart Ring immediately wrapped around Shi Ling's fist. Shi Ling immediately felt that his fist contained an extremely huge power, as if it would explode at any time.

Shi Lingqiang resisted the urge to throw a punch, trying to gather as much energy as possible.

On Loong Yang's side, Loong Yang was currently fighting the gigantic Man-eating Tree by himself. His body moved back and forth between the branches, and whenever he saw vines or branches attacking Shi Ling, he would use his halberd to cut them down.

While dealing with the super giant Man-eating Tree on the side, Loong Yang did not forget to look back at Shi Ling who was behind him. Looking at the flame condensed in Shi Ling's hand, he was curious how powerful Shi Ling's move could be.

Just as Loong Yang was deep in thought, a whistling sound came from in front of him. Loong Yang turned around and saw that on the trunk of the gigantic Man-eating Tree, there was an old face.

Loong Yang's pupils couldn't help but constrict. His old face opened its mouth wide and countless poisonous thorns shot out from it. Loong Yang waved the Raging Dragon Halberd back and forth and formed a shadow, instantly sending the poisonous thorns flying.

The next moment, when Loong Yang was ready to play big, a scorching heat came from behind him. Loong Yang couldn't help but look back.

At this moment, the flames on Shi Ling's fist jumped even more violently. The crimson red light was like a small sun, shining so bright that people couldn't even open their eyes. They could only hear Shi Ling shouting, "Everyone move out of the way!"

With that, the people who were protecting him all backed away. At that moment, even Loong Yang backed away and his eyes were staring straight at the ball of flames in Shi Ling's hand.

This temperature should be comparable to the flames produced by burning normal Scarlet Flame Crystals, right? At this moment, he really wanted to fight Shi Ling. Of course, it wasn't because he didn't like Shi Ling, so he wanted to fight Shi Ling, but because he wanted to fight. It was like the fighting instinct that was stimulated by Shi Ling's Floral Pupil when he released Shi Ling.

The moment Shi Ling gathered that flame to a peak, he wanted to shoot it out!

A light flashed in his mind as a thought formed in his mind. Then, he looked at the Black Wood Sword in his hand.

But just when Shi Ling hesitated for a moment, the super giant Man-eating Tree in front of Shi Ling opened its mouth and spat out large amounts of poisonous thorns. At the same time, there were a few pikes that seemed to want to pierce through Shi Ling.

From its appearance, it clearly felt that Shi Ling was the biggest threat. Therefore, when it wanted to get rid of Shi Ling, it directly chose to ignore everyone else other than Shi Ling.

Not far away, Loong Yang, who was watching this scene, roared: "Shi Ling!"

At this time, Shi Ling suddenly came back to his senses. When he saw the attacks shooting towards him from all directions, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and his flaming fist suddenly stretched out and grabbed the Black Wood Sword.

The next moment, Shi Ling's hands grabbed onto the Black Wood Sword and at the same time, the flames wrapped around the Black Wood Sword also instantly enveloped it.

At that moment, the Black Wood Sword was like a fire sword, releasing a ball of dazzling light. Shi Ling suddenly roared, and said: "Scorching Sun Breaks!"

After saying that, the Black Wood Sword in Shi Ling's hand was raised above his head and swung down. Soon after, the flame that was wrapped around the Black Wood Sword was waved out by Shi Ling and turned into three half moon shaped sword blades made from flames. As it passed by, it cut the ground into two and left a long tail of light on the ground like a meteor.

Bang! Shi Ling's flaming sword blade instantly pierced through the attacks of the gigantic Man-eating Tree. Then, it shot towards the tree.

With three consecutive booms, the fifty-meter-tall gigantic Man-eating Tree was blasted into pieces. Smoke and dust filled the air, and countless debris shot out from within, leaving behind a trail of burning wood.

When Loong Yang and the other disciples saw the might of the attack, they were all extremely shocked. Immediately, they all looked at Shi Ling with their eyes, such power, even if they met an expert at the peak of the Body Tempering, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Even if he met an expert at the peak of the Body Tempering, he would still be able to put up a fight.

With a huge gust of wind, Loong Yang and the other disciples rushed towards Shi Ling's direction.

At this time, Shi Ling let out a long sigh and stabbed the Black Wood Sword into the ground. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with one hand and said when he saw Loong Yang walking over: "Okay, we've settled the super giant Man-eating Tree. You can go in now."

Loong Yang waved his hand towards the disciples who followed him, gesturing them to go ahead and collect the Stellar Source Fruit, while he himself came to Shi Ling's side, a look of excitement on his face. With a punch on Shi Ling's shoulder, he said: "I thought you could do it, I didn't expect you to learn such a strong move without telling me.

After Shi Ling heard these words, he couldn't help but chuckle. How could he say that? Speaking to Loong Yang, was that move actually something he had come up with on a whim? Loong Yang probably wouldn't believe him at all.

He could only say, "No comment!"

Loong Yang rolled his eyes when he heard that, but he didn't ask any further. After all, it was the other person's privacy. If the other party didn't want to talk to him, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Shi Ling then pulled out the Black Wood Sword and walked towards the forest, saying: "Let's go, we'll go take a look too."

Loong Yang acknowledged and walked in with Shi Ling. Their gazes quickly swept the area and were immediately attracted by the surrounding Stellar Source Fruit. With one glance, they could see that there were almost a hundred fruit seedlings.

A look of ecstasy appeared on Loong Yang's face. He said to Shi Ling, "Let's go and pick them."

At this moment, Shi Ling sat down and said, "I won't be going."

Loong Yang looked at Shi Ling's face when he heard what he said and noticed that Shi Ling's face was a little pale. It was obvious that Shi Ling had overused his mana.

At this time, Loong Yang could only nod and say: "Okay, then rest well here, we will be back soon."

Shi Ling suddenly said, "Take out all of them in half an incense stick of time."

Loong Yang: "Got it."

Shi Ling let out a breath of relief. He took out a White Spirit Pill and swallowed it to recover his mana. At the same time, he took out a Azurite Stone to recover his physical strength.

Not long after, most of the Stellar Source Fruit had been taken away by Loong Yang and the rest. Shi Ling had also recovered most of his strength.

Just as they were about to leave this place, Loong Yang saw that a new Man-eating Tree grew out of the entrance they came in from!

When Shi Ling saw this, his eyes were also wide open. He looked at the passage that he and the others had cleared before, and a large number of Man-eating Tree grew out.

Loong Yang took out a Message Conch from the Storage Ring and after some questioning, he said to Shi Ling: "The Flame Crystal Stone over at Little Four's side has been used up!"

When Shi Ling heard this, the Floral Pupil blossomed. He immediately saw that the water intake, which was reduced by half in the main waterway, had returned to its original volume.

Shi Ling couldn't help but to say with a deep voice, "It seems like Qiu Rann can't hold on either."

At this moment, everyone was completely trapped in the Man-eating Tree forest.

However, just when everyone was feeling anxious, they felt that there seemed to be something squirming beneath their feet. Soon after, they saw bone hands stretching out from the ground.

The eyes of everyone present were all opened, and they all casted spells in an attempt to destroy the hand that was holding them.

At this time, Shi Ling looked in another direction and saw countless skeleton soldiers drilling out from the ground. At the same time, the surrounding Man-eating Tree Forest all turned their heads and started attacking Shi Ling and the others.

Shi Ling cursed silently: "Damn it!"
