"There is no 'why'. Today, our Tai King Tribe wishes to enter the Wilderness-Forest to retrieve some items. You people of the Earth Core Race are forbidden from entering and interfering with us."
That voice came once more from within the warship.
"Hmph! Ridiculous! Do you truly think the Wilderness-Forest belongs to your Tai King Tribe? I will definitely enter the Wilderness-Forest today!"
The old Wizard's expression darkened.
"Then don't blame us for being impolite."
The voice from the warship turned icy.
"Young Master Su, the Tai King Tribe is preventing us from entering the Wilderness-Forest, probably because some treasure has appeared within the forest. They are afraid we will go in and compete for it, hence they wish to stop us. Because we of the Earth Core Race are famously skilled at finding treasure. Also, remember to be careful of the Tai King Tribe's warships; they are extremely powerful!"
The old Wizard sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"I will be careful," Ye Yunfei nodded.
In fact, Ye Yunfei was more familiar with the Tai King Tribe than this old Wizard. In his previous life, Ye Yunfei had traveled through the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and once entered the Tai King Realm. He knew its people were naturally skilled in artifact crafting, and the warships they built were renowned and spread throughout all worlds.
"A final warning: The Earth Core Race is forbidden from entering the Wilderness-Forest. Otherwise, do not blame us for being impolite."
That voice resounded from the warship again.
Boom rumble rumble...
As soon as the words fell, five more warships appeared rolling across the sky in the distance and arrived outside the Wilderness-Forest in the blink of an eye.
"Seal the Wilderness-Forest! Do not allow the Earth Core Race to enter!"
The earlier voice rang out, and then the earliest arriving warship rumbled as it charged directly into the Wilderness-Forest.
The five warships lined up in a row, blocking Ye Yunfei and the Wizard's path.
Suddenly, rows of cannon barrels, seemingly forged from special metal, extended from the hulls of the five warships. Their pitch-black muzzles aimed threateningly at Ye Yunfei and the Wizard, emitting killing intent.
"How dare you! Your Tai King Tribe is far too overbearing! You truly think our Earth Core Race is easy to bully, do you? Very well, let's see if your Tai King Tribe can indeed bully us!"
Seeing this, the old Wizard became enraged. He directly took out a jade slip, intending to send a message and summon the main army of the Earth Core Race.
"There's no need to call for help. They cannot stop us."
Ye Yunfei stopped the Wizard and spoke.
"Let us enter."
As he finished speaking, Ye Yunfei lifted his foot and walked forward.
"Alright!"
The Wizard hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and followed behind Ye Yunfei.
This old Wizard had once been a high-ranking member of the Heaven's Mystery Army and deeply understood Ye Yunfei's strength and methods, thus he chose to trust him.
"Fire!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei and the Wizard's actions, a voice came from within one of the warships.
Immediately, muffled roars faintly emanated from the cannon barrels on the five warships, radiating an extremely dangerous aura.
The next moment.
Boom! Boom!
Streams of violent energy beams shot out from these cannon barrels, bombarding towards Ye Yunfei and the Wizard.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand. Over a thousand magical treasures flew out, simultaneously activated. Among them were Sentient Treasures and World-Destroying Treasures, densely packed as they moved to intercept those energy beams.
Although the energy beams fired from the cannons were powerful, Sentient Treasures and World-Destroying Treasures were also formidable. They successfully blocked all the energy beams.
Roar! Roar!
One Earth Dragon after another drilled out from beneath the earth, instantly forming a large-scale earth formation that clustered around Ye Yunfei and the Wizard and charged into the Wilderness-Forest in a flash.
Ye Yunfei made a grasping motion, remotely retrieving the over thousand magical treasures.
Boom rumble rumble...
Hundreds of Earth Dragons clustered around Ye Yunfei and the Wizard as they rolled through the Wilderness-Forest.
"Young Master Su, your Geomancy Technique is truly astonishing," the Wizard couldn't help but sigh in admiration, looking at the roaring Earth Dragons surrounding them.
"After them!"
The five warships chased after the two, entering the forest.
Boom...
Not long after entering the Wilderness-Forest, the ground ahead suddenly shook violently.
Next, Ye Yunfei and the Wizard saw over a dozen blood-red misty shadows appear, blocking the front. From within the misty shadows, pairs of ghastly red, blood-dripping claws stretched out, continuously enlarging as they clawed at Ye Yunfei and the Wizard, covering the sky.
"Ahead is a danger zone!"
Ye Yunfei narrowed his eyes and said with a frown.
Boom...
Even as he spoke, pairs of blood-stained claws had rolled in, emanating a terrifying pressure that surged towards Ye Yunfei and the Wizard.
"Scram!"
Ye Yunfei raised the Dragon-Driving Whip and lashed it forward.
Boom rumble rumble...
Hundreds of Earth Dragons charged towards those red claws. Simultaneously, the ground cracked open. Boundless yellow earth qi erupted from deep underground, forming wall after wall of yellow mud, blocking in front of Ye Yunfei and the Wizard.
"We'll pass through here."
Ye Yunfei led the Wizard charging in a certain direction. Moments later, they forced their way through this danger zone.
"In the past, when I brought Earth Core Race experts in here, we had to experience a fierce battle every time we encountered one of these danger zones. I never imagined Young Master Su could pass through one so effortlessly. The Geomancy Technique is truly profound and unfathomable!"
Once again, the Wizard marveled at Ye Yunfei's geomancy skills.
"Fire!"
At this moment, the five warships pursuing from behind also caught up. They were surrounded by pairs of blood-stained claws, and the five warships fired simultaneously, spraying out dense barrages of energy beams.
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger. The Measuring Earth Plate flew out, blooming with rolling yellow radiance, paving the way ahead.
Afterwards, Ye Yunfei led the Wizard deep into the Wilderness-Forest, encountering one danger zone and death trap after another.
"The Measuring Earth Plate is truly useful. It can not only summon earth qi but also better predict and sense various danger zones and death traps."
Each time, the Measuring Earth Plate accurately predicted the danger zones and death traps ahead, leaving Ye Yunfei quite satisfied.
Boom rumble rumble...
Just as Ye Yunfei and the Wizard were journeying deep into the Wilderness-Forest, suddenly, within its depths, the space in a particular location began to shake violently.
"What is that?"
Ye Yunfei and the Wizard immediately looked towards that location, witnessing a stunning scene.
A colossal tree slowly materialized in that space, rising to stand between heaven and earth within moments.
It was an extremely tall, immense tree. Dense clusters of roots extended from its base, piercing deep into the earth. Each root was incredibly thick; dozens of people would be unable to join hands around it.
The tree's crown spread out, occupying a vast expanse. And surprisingly, faintly discernible illusory shadows of the sun, moon, and stars appeared among its branches, slowly rotating.
"What kind of tree is this?"
The Wizard stared, dumbfounded.
"Now I understand why the Tai King Tribe didn't want us entering the Wilderness-Forest. A precious tree like this has appeared."
Ye Yunfei said in astonishment.
