Chapter 1477: Rotten Leaf Forest and Underworld Flame Fruit

The Black Spirit man's face was filled with disbelief. He let out a roar and moved both hands, grabbing the arm in front of his chest.

A cold light flashed in Han Li's eyes, and his arm surged with golden light. A flying sword several feet long blurred and appeared on his arm.

A clear cry!

The sword light flashed!

Not only were the Black Spirit man's palms easily sliced off, but his entire body was split in two by the sword light. A crystal core-like object and a ball of green fire that appeared in his body were also crushed in the sword light. Even his primordial spirit failed to escape in the slightest.

The remaining six Black Spirit Tribe members were terrified. The leader was a high-tier Spirit Commander existence, and in terms of cultivation and divine abilities, he was almost the best among them. How could he be beheaded the moment the opponent took action?

Immediately, four of them shouted in anger and panic, instantly transforming into four black giant birds and pouncing toward Han Li with great momentum. The other two glanced at each other, but without a word, they put away the feathers in their hands and transformed into two streaks of black light, fleeing toward the distance.

Han Li's mouth curled slightly. With a thunderous sound behind his back, he transformed into an electric arc and vanished from where he stood.

Those black giant birds saw this, their hearts trembling, and their pouncing movements paused.

And in that brief moment of hesitation, with a flash of green light, a winged human figure that seemed like a phantom appeared strangely beneath one of the black giant birds.

Before this bird could take any action, it only saw the phantom below move its arm slightly, and a flash of blinding golden light vanished in a blink.

The black bird was startled, and the next moment, it felt its body turn cold. Its entire body was split in two, and two pieces of the corpse, mixed with a rain of blood, fell from the sky.

To the west, a figure flashed and vanished strangely again, appearing near another black bird. With the same wave of his hand, he released a golden sword light.

This bird also seemed to be made of tofu, and was beheaded in a blink of an eye. Its body, which should have been as hard as steel, was unable to block the sword in the slightest.

Just like this, Han Li's figure flashed like a phantom in the air four or five times. When he finally appeared and stopped steadily in mid-air,

the four black giant birds transformed from the Black Spirit people had all been slaughtered without a single one left.

Han Li still had no intention of stopping. Staring at the other two Black Spirit people who had fled dozens of zhang away, he moved his wings expressionlessly and transformed into a blue-white long rainbow, shooting through the air.

A sharp cry that tore through the sky suddenly erupted!

As soon as the rainbow shot out ten zhang, it blurred slightly and transformed into a blue-white thin thread.

The thread twisted strangely and flashed into the void, disappearing without a trace.

Behind one of the fleeing Black Spirit people, space fluctuated, and the blue-white thread appeared.

With a flash, the thread directly pierced through the Black Spirit person's body, circled around it quickly, and a flash of golden light vanished.

The Black Spirit person was instantly split into seven or eight pieces, and the thread twisted and vanished into the void again.

The next moment, above the head of the other Black Spirit person, blue-white light surged, and the thread appeared strangely. Then, with a blur, Han Li's figure appeared completely. Without a word, he shook one hand, and a golden small sword appeared in his hand, then transformed into a thick sword light and slashed down.

Amidst the flashing golden light, the sword light instantly reached the top of the person below.

The Black Spirit person was scared out of his wits. Without a second thought, he flapped his wings upward and simultaneously patted his skull with one hand.

Instantly, black light flashed on his wings, and all the feathers transformed into countless arrows, shooting toward the sky in a dense swarm. At the same time, a black wooden shield appeared on his crown, transforming into a black cloud to meet the falling sword light.

I don't know what kind of treasure that wooden shield was, but it clearly couldn't block the sharpness of the Green Bamboo Cloud-Swarm Sword!

Amidst the flashing golden light, the black cloud was slashed in two, and the sword light took the opportunity to split the Black Spirit person in two.

As for those black arrows, as soon as they shot in front of Han Li, they were blocked by a layer of gray mist.

With a sweep of the gray light, so many arrows vanished without a trace, unable to harm Han Li in the slightest.

And Han Li, looking at the falling corpse, moved his eyebrows, seemed to remember something, and grabbed into the void.

With a "whoosh," a black feather about a foot long flew out from a certain corpse and was captured into his hand.

Han Li stroked the feather with one hand, his eyes flashing several times.

I saw that the feather was pitch black and shiny, with faint golden light, and as it shook slightly, black runes appeared, immediately transforming into balls of black flames, and a scorching aura emerged.

Han Li revealed a look of great interest, and with a flash of black light in his hand, the feather was put away.

As for the corpse, it was naturally reduced to ashes by a fireball he released afterward.

A green rainbow circled in the low altitude, taking all the black feathers from the corpses, which Han Li unceremoniously claimed for himself.

When the green light flashed and the rainbow appeared beside Bai Bi and the others, Han Li appeared again.

"Continue on our way!" As if nothing had happened, Han said indifferently.

Lei Lan and the other three had pale expressions, but they couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

Half a day later, Han Li and the others appeared above an unfamiliar land. Not far ahead was a low, dense forest. Most of the trees in the forest were no more than three or four zhang high, with pale yellow leaves, emitting a faint fishy smell.

The group stopped at the edge of this dense forest, and Han Li stood in front of the crowd, looking at the dense forest with a thoughtful expression, silent.

Bai Bi and the others, whether intentionally or unintentionally, all stood several zhang behind Han Li, not daring to stand side-by-side with him, but the gaze they cast toward Han Li carried a trace of awe.

Speaking of which, ever since Han Li easily slaughtered seven Black Spirit Tribe Saint Children in front of these three men and women, Lei Lan and the other three finally truly understood how powerful Han Li's true strength was.

Perhaps even the legendary Ao Qing of the Seven Yue Tribe and Fei Ye of the Nan Long Tribe might not have such terrifying divine abilities.

Therefore, on the rest of the journey, when Lei Lan and Bai Bi and the others faced Han Li, they unconsciously used honorifics, as if facing an elder of their tribe. They no longer had any other thoughts.

With such a powerful companion as Han Li, it was clear that there would be no major problems with this trial.

"If I am not mistaken, these are also Rotten Leaf Trees condensed with the help of Dark Filthy Qi. This place should be one of the locations where the Filthy Qi on the second layer is most condensed. We are lucky to have stumbled upon this place. Although the hope is not great, the Underworld Flame Fruit seems likely to appear here as well. Do you intend to spend some time searching, or should we go directly to the Ten Thousand Vine Path?" Han Li finally spoke, his voice slow.

"Brother Han, this Rotten Leaf Forest is not too big. Although divine sense is suppressed, we can thoroughly search it in half a day." The three looked at each other hesitantly, and Bai Bi replied respectfully.

"Oh, I understand what you mean. If it only takes half a day, it doesn't matter. Then let's stay here for a while." Han Li also felt there was no problem and nodded casually.

Hearing Han Li's words, Lei Lan and the others felt a slight joy in their hearts.

If they could find the Underworld Flame Fruit here, it would naturally be better than taking the risk of going to the third layer.

Immediately, the three discussed it briefly. Qin Xiao shook her sleeve and released more than a dozen lizard puppets, driving them to fly toward a certain direction of the dense forest, finally vanishing into the forest.

Lei Lan and Bai Bi also seemed to have their own preparations.

Lei Lan raised her hand and sacrificed a white jade box. As she chanted, the lid flew off, and dozens of flying ants an inch long flew out, shimmering with pale silver light, buzzing toward another direction.

Bai Bi shook his wings, and more than a dozen golden small snakes, the thickness of a thumb, shot out from his body. After flashing, they all vanished into the ground without a trace.

Then, the three sat cross-legged in the air, each casting secret techniques to urge those puppets, spirit beasts, and spirit insects, beginning to search the dwarf forest piece by piece.

Han Li hovered in the air without moving, seemingly having no intention of interfering.

Time passed bit by bit.

Several hours later, Lei Lan and the others had already searched most of the dense forest, still finding nothing.

But after consuming divine sense for such a long time, their faces had all turned slightly pale.

Han Li, who had his hands behind his back, suddenly frowned slightly, looking toward a certain direction in the sky, a flash of surprise and suspicion appearing on his face.

Just now, he seemed to have felt an extremely powerful aura from that direction, but it vanished in a flash. It made him wonder if he had sensed something wrong again.

As his eyes flashed, he was considering whether to go over and investigate carefully when suddenly, a cry of surprise came from Lei Lan, looking extremely overjoyed.

"What, did you really find the Underworld Flame Fruit!" Han Li couldn't care about the previous matter for a moment and turned his head to ask.

He was quite surprised.

"That's right, I really found the Underworld Flame Tree, and there are six growing in the same area. There are fruits on them, and most of them look mature." Lei Lan opened her beautiful eyes, unable to hide her excitement.

"Junior Sister Lei, you didn't see wrong. Is it really the Underworld Flame Fruit?" Bai Bi heard this and couldn't care about driving his spirit snakes, asking while trying to suppress his heartbeat.

"That's right. There are many fruits in the Earth Abyss that look like the Underworld Flame Fruit. Little Sister Lei, you must look carefully." Qin Xiao's voice was slightly trembling.

This woman also couldn't care about her puppets.

"It can't be wrong. Although I am seeing the real thing for the first time, both the tree and the fruit are exactly the same as recorded in the classics." Lei Lan shook her head, saying very affirmatively.

"Very good, let's go over and identify the authenticity first. If there is really no problem, we don't need to go to the third layer." Han Li appeared very calm and said calmly.

It was originally said that the Underworld Flame Fruit might exist on the second layer, just that the probability was not very high. Now that they had found it, it was not something they couldn't accept.

"Yes, I will lead the way." Lei Lan agreed happily and stood up with a flicker of her figure.

Bai Bi and the other two also stood up. Although they wanted to pretend to be calm, the excitement in their eyes was undisguised.

Thus, led by Lei Lan, the group flew at full speed, and in just a quarter of an hour, they appeared above a damp land shrouded in faint gray mist deep in the dense forest.

"It's right here. There is a water pool nearby, and those Underworld Flame Fruit trees are by the side of the water pool." Lei Lan pointed down and said without hesitation.
