Savage Town.
This is the small city closest to the entrance of the Savage Ancient Domain.
Originally, the people of this small town lived here quite peacefully, undisturbed by others.
But the emergence of the ancient bodhi tree brought unprecedented excitement to this ordinary town.
In just a few days, the once quiet town was instantly overcrowded.
"It seems we still arrived late; there are already so many people," Xiao Li sighed again, marveling at the sheer number of people in the Central Plains.
No matter whether it was large or small ruins appearing, there would always be countless people following along.
This time, the emergence of the ancient bodhi tree was even more lively than the Pill Gathering.
After all, the Pill Gathering was only a grand event for Alchemists, with limited appeal.
However, the ancient bodhi tree was rumored to offer a chance for someone to instantly become a Saint.
Under such temptation, even those reclusive old monsters would be unable to resist coming to join the fun.
After all, if one could become a Dou Sheng, one would be a top expert on the entire continent, basically able to walk unhindered anywhere.
Xiao Li and his group arrived relatively late.
With the Savage Ancient Domain about to open, the entrance was already crowded with people waiting for it to begin.
"We arrived just in time; the entrance is about to open," Xiao Yan glanced at the situation ahead.
"Hmm, just wait patiently."
The few of them waited quietly.
The Savage Ancient Domain is vast, and no one knew where the ancient bodhi tree would appear.
Entering earlier or later actually made little difference.
Seeing those people ahead rushing so quickly, Xiao Li and his group chose to wait behind.
Finally.
The barrier at the entrance disappeared, and the hazy white mist gradually dispersed.
"Charge!"
Someone let out a battle cry.
Countless people rushed in like ducks madly scrambling for grass, almost overwhelming the entrance.
Such a dramatic scene was indeed shocking.
After most of them had entered, Xiao Li and his group finally set off... Inside the Savage Ancient Domain was a vast and mysterious ancient forest.
Due to the long period without human entry, it had always maintained its pristine ecology.
The surrounding trees grew wildly, almost savagely proliferating.
Every tree was over ten meters tall, with winding and intertwined canopies that blocked out the sky and sun.
If only one person, or a few people, had entered, the atmosphere alone would have made them stop in their tracks.
However, this time, thousands of people entered together.
So, the fearful atmosphere was somewhat diluted.
"It looks like there's a poisonous miasma area ahead; everyone be careful," Little Fairy Doctor reminded them.
Her perception of poison was the strongest.
Upon receiving the warning, the others also became cautious.
Xiao Li distributed his strange flame to Medusa and Green Scale, as they had no resistance to poison.
This was, after all, the Savage Ancient Domain; no one knew how many dangers there would be, so a little caution was never wrong.
When they officially entered the poisonous miasma area, they initially felt nothing.
The poison here was colorless and odorless; it couldn't be seen or smelled.
By the time one realized something was wrong, they would already be deeply poisoned.
Along the way, Xiao Li saw many corpses lying on the ground.
Some had blood flowing from their orifices, others were completely rotted, all dying gruesome deaths.
These people had all died from poisoning, and even a few Dou Zuns had been poisoned to death.
One could imagine how potent the poison here was.
Finally, the group successfully traversed this poisonous miasma forest and arrived before a bottomless chasm.
On the other side of the chasm was an endless mountain range, exuding an ancient and weathered aura that made everyone who arrived here feel their own insignificance.
"Is this the Savage Ancient Domain...?"
Xiao Yan and the others showed expressions of shock.
This feeling was too magnificent.
In the face of an aura spanning tens of thousands of years, they were like a small boat in the long river of time, tiny and powerless.
No wonder the Savage Ancient Domain was called a forbidden zone of life.
This aura alone could make anyone below Dou Zun tremble with fear and dare not take another step.
"In which direction is the ancient bodhi tree?" Medusa asked.
The Savage Ancient Domain was so vast, yet they didn't know the exact direction of the ancient bodhi tree.
Hearing this, Xiao Li immediately released his powerful soul force to explore the surroundings.
"The distribution of magical beasts within the Savage Ancient Domain is not even; the magical beast auras in the northwest direction are clearly more numerous and stronger."
"With the emergence of the ancient bodhi tree, the magical beasts here will certainly be affected, so it should be in the northwest direction."
After determining the direction, Xiao Li immediately led everyone to fly... After crossing the chasm and officially entering the depths of the Savage Ancient Domain.
The surrounding magical beasts also began to stir.
From time to time, one could hear the sounds of humans fighting magical beasts.
Humans, to magical beasts, were actually very good food.
Now that so much food had actively entered, the magical beasts here were going crazy with hunger.
Xiao Li and the others finally encountered the obstruction of several ancient ferocious beasts — three large snakes with huge triangular heads.
Eighth-tier high-level magical beast: Spectacled Demonic Serpent!
Three ancient magical beasts comparable to seven or eight-star Dou Zuns would be a death trap for anyone else.
But unfortunately, they did not encounter ordinary people.
"Young Master, let me handle these magical beasts."
Seeing that they were snake-type magical beasts, Green Scale immediately became interested and volunteered.
"Alright, you try."
Green Scale was already an eight-star Dou Zun, and Xiao Li was not worried about her.
"Roar!"
The three Spectacled Demonic Serpents clearly hadn't recognized the situation; seeing Green Scale approach alone, they immediately opened their gaping maws, all thinking of eating this delicious human first.
The next moment,
"Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils!"
Two points of emerald green light flickered in Green Scale's eyes, transforming into three emerald green three-flower imprints, accurately stamping themselves onto the heads of the three Spectacled Demonic Serpents.
"Illusion Technique: Jade Serpent Realm!"
Buzz!
As the imprints were completed, the forced sealing of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils immediately controlled the souls of the three Spectacled Demonic Serpents, making them Green Scale's slaves.
Three eighth-tier high-level magical beasts were vulnerable before the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils.
"As expected of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils, its suppression of snake-type magical beasts is too strong," Medusa exclaimed.
She had also witnessed Green Scale's Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils.
Although the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python would not be controlled, it would be affected to some extent.
Although these three Spectacled Demonic Serpents were powerful, their bloodline was inferior to that of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, so being controlled was normal.
"Not bad, it seems your Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils are already being used very proficiently," Xiao Li also praised.
Although Green Scale's cultivation was very high, her practical combat experience was actually very little.
This was because her cultivation largely benefited from Xiao Li's Dragon Phoenix Art directly boosting it.
Now, she just lacked some practical combat experience.
The same went for Little Fairy Doctor; her cultivation was even stronger than Green Scale's, reaching nine-star Dou Zun.
But her practical combat experience was only slightly more than Green Scale's.
"It just so happens that there are so many magical beasts here, Xian'er, Green Scale, you two should practice more and get familiar with it."
