When system cheat becomes rampant!

Long Guocheng and others joined forces to directly annihilate the remaining Thunder Dragons.

Boom!

However, the gray clouds were still roaring and tumbling, and the air became dry and stuffy!

Crack! Crack!

A barrage of powerful lightning struck down again, numbering in the hundreds!

Even Cheng Xin'an took a sharp breath at the sight of so many lightning strikes!

His righteous energy could weaken a lightning bolt, but he was absolutely incapable of dealing with so many at once!

"Dodge!"

Li Zimu met the challenge head-on once more, relying on blurring the lines between dreams and reality to help everyone avoid the lightning, but with each dodge, his face grew paler. Even though they could avoid the lightning, it greatly consumed his spiritual power.

Meanwhile, the tree enemies below continued to charge relentlessly, with Xiang Beifei and Ma Ziqian struggling against them. They were now surrounded by enemies on both sides, a very perilous situation!

Bang!

A hawk summoned by Zhao Fei failed to dodge the lightning in time, was struck in the head, and instantly turned into a mist of blood. Di Sheng uttered a low cry as he almost fell off, but Li Zimu quickly swept in and pulled him onto his own wind.

"That was close, thank you." Di Sheng looked shaken.

Li Zimu's expression was serious as he said, "Join forces with me!"

"Okay!"

Hum!

Numerous icicles appeared in the sky, shattering into pieces and colliding with the Thunder Dragons, resisting them. The others also lent their aid, but the higher they flew, the more dangerous it became, so they lowered their altitude.

At that moment, with his exceptional vision, Long Guocheng shouted, "There's a mountain over there!"

When they had been walking through this withered forest earlier, they had actually seen many mountain peaks. These peaks were quite distinctive, towering into the clouds and standing prominently within the withered forest.

However, they had not ventured to those peaks earlier because they were in a hurry. Now, as they were being bombarded by tree enemies and lightning, they were inadvertently about to crash into a peak.

"Can we seek refuge on the mountain?" Cheng Xin'an asked.

"There are withered trees on the mountain too! Could also have these tree enemies!" Xi Keyao said.

Long Guocheng, observing the mountain with his eyes, suddenly said, "No, I don't see any tree enemies on the mountain, those trees are intact."

The tree enemies behind them had already charged over, and they were also close to a cliff on the side of this mountain peak. The cliff was as if it had been cut by a knife, perfectly straight and flat, with only a few welcoming pines growing on it.

At this moment, Xiang Beifei seemed to realize something and turned to look back.

He noticed that the pursuing tree enemies were clearly avoiding the mountain, seemingly afraid to get too close, and were circling around to attack them.

Several more tree enemies had followed, and Xiang Beifei suddenly unleashed a punch. His massive fist roared through the air and struck a tree enemy, catapulting it towards the cliff face!

The tree enemy, covered in mud, slammed into the cliff face and let out a piercing scream. Its body, originally that of a human, seemed to disperse upon contact with the cliff, with countless branches and leaves sprouting out, and roots rapidly twining around, taking root on the cliff face.

It turned back into a tree!

"Those tree enemies dare not get close to the mountain! Head for that mountain!"

Xiang Beifei made a split-second decision!

Li Zimu and Zhao Fei immediately led the others to fly towards the mountain, landing on a protruding rock on the steep cliff face.

The pursuing tree enemies, initially raging forward, stopped abruptly mid-air when they saw the mountain cliff, not daring to advance another step.

"This mountain seems to be their nemesis," Ma Ziqian said in surprise.

More and more tree people surrounded them, encircling the entire mountain, but not a single tree person dared to approach. The one that Xiang Beifei had knocked down the cliff had taken root again on the cliffside, becoming a welcoming pine.

Everyone looked at the sky again, and the thunder dragon in the sky was no longer roaring, and it seemed that it had not descended upon this mountain.

"If they don't dare to come, let's find a place to rest first, treat the injured, and you guys wait here," Xiang Beifei said in a deep voice.

"Okay."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the situation just now was too dangerous because their abilities were all ineffective against the tree people and were completely countered by them.

Their current position was not at the peak, but only halfway up the mountain, and the mountain top was nowhere to be seen. The mountain was very high; at least they had not yet seen the top of it.

Xiang Beifei immediately flew up toward the cliff above and landed on the ledge at the mountainside. There was a large flat area here, strewn with rubble, and many plants and vegetation lay prostrate, growing extremely vigorously!

The plants on the mountain all turned green at some point! Keep in mind that these plants looked withered when the sky was still bright earlier.

Xiang Beifei surveyed his surroundings, cautiously approaching the small forest near the edge of the cliff and knocked on a tree nearby, but as soon as he approached the tree, it suddenly withered.

The tree that was originally full of life immediately became shriveled and yellow as Xiang Beifei approached, as if Xiang Beifei was some sort of plague god who killed it.

"How bizarre!"

Xiang Beifei was also puzzled, as the situation here seemed to have reversed from the withered forest just now!

During the day, the trees in the withered forest turned green as one approached the withering trees.

Now that it was dark, all the withered trees had turned green.

Yet, when he approached these green trees, the trees died!

The scene here was the exact opposite of the daytime.

Xiang Beifei carefully observed the trees that suddenly withered around him, then looked at the other trees that were still lush in front of him, and then looked down at his feet, only to see that the grass on the ground had also withered.

It was as if he had trampled them to death.

He walked further in to make sure there was no danger before letting everyone else come up.

It didn't take long for everyone to find a relatively flat place to start treating their wounds. Xi Keyao's abilities came in handy here, as her system provided a series of healing abilities, helping everyone recover from their injuries.

Xiang Beifei stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the tree people encircling them, watching them with a vigilant gaze.

The night was dark, and the visible range was limited, but on the way here, the entire boundless expanse of withered forest seemed to have awakened, and this eerie scene made them all feel a chill. If they had run any slower, they probably would have been surrounded and attacked by countless tree people.

Long Guocheng was standing on the other side, continuing to try using his "Vision Pressure" to remotely deal with these tree people. He had pushed the power of "Vision Pressure" to its limits, but, to his dismay, his attacks felt like they were hitting cotton, creating no effect.

"Enjoy your time for a couple of days," he snorted coldly.

Ma Ziqian, who was chased by the group of tree people and had struggled considerably despite his speed, was now holding a dagger and taunting the tree people: "You filthy things, come on up if you dare!"

"The tree people dare not come to this mountain. Is this mountain a forbidden place for them?" Xiang Beifei pondered slightly and then squatted down to examine the mountain stones on the ground, which were quite normal and not emitting a scent of the system.

But the more normal the place was, the more abnormal it seemed.

The very fact that these tree people didn't dare to come up said it all.

Cheng Xin'an approached and asked, "What do we do now? These tree people seemed to have revived after it got dark. Should we wait for daylight to see if they will wither again?"

"It's hard to say when it will be light again, and whether it was actually getting dark before is also hard to tell," Xiang Beifei replied as he looked at the layer of grey fog in the sky. They had thought it was getting dark, but in actuality, a thick layer of fog had cloaked everything, blocking all light, which was very odd.
