This must be the Tidal World, no doubt about it.
Baiyu has seen many Tidal Worlds, and is very confident in this judgment.
If it were an Illusion Realm, it wouldn't feel this real; only a real world would have such a degree of realism.
And in the Tidal World, death is true death.
After collecting the fruits.
Baiyu retraced his steps, leading Grandmaster Long and the other two quickly out.
After such a storm, the fierce animals around were much fewer, making the four's progress extremely smooth.
They now wished to leave the forest.
However.
The size of the forest far exceeded their imagination.
Although Baiyu initially entered this oasis from the desert, the path inside was winding and complicated.
Moreover now.
He couldn't use either Blood Qi or Spirituality.
He could only rely on mere memory of the way he came in, which led to some errors.
Due to the conflict at the barbarian camp, the road he chose afterwards was completely beyond Baiyu's control.
If they returned the way they came now, they would surely encounter the barbarians.
Facing the barbarians who controlled three Rune Stone Pillars, even though their fighting methods were primitive, if they used the power of the Runes, the four couldn't withstand it.
Thus, to leave the forest, they had to find another path.
Grandmaster Long took the opportunity, built a fire under a big tree nearby.
Then made a few simple grills, slightly cleaned some animals nearby, and skewered them on.
The group hadn't eaten until now, it was indeed time to eat; if they didn't replenish their energy promptly, just the scorching jungle environment would claim their lives.
When Baiyu returned.
The three stopped asking about the fruit.
Clearly, no one knew what it was, so asking was useless, and it was entirely obtained by Baiyu using his Ability; they really had no right to inquire.
No spices at all.
The roasted meat was very dry, almost inedible, they could only pinch their noses and eat it.
This kind of roast meat.
Was basically inedible for humans.
And for safety reasons, Grandmaster Long roasted the meat until it was black and charred, making it crunchy to bite.
After a hasty meal, the four set off again.
Though they didn't know the way, just following one path was surely not wrong.
And the sun in the sky was just right to determine direction.
The group traveled by day, and lit fires at night, resting in the trees.
Due to Baiyu's previous exertion, he rested most of the way.
After three days like this.
The group finally discovered a different environment.
For the past few days, they had seen only green forests, lush and with overlapping towering trees continuously.
But now.
The environment presented was surrounded by low shrubs and some grasslands.
The most important part was.
There was a flowing stream here, cattle and sheep grazing on the grassland, the scenery was idyllic.
If it weren't for this being the Tidal World, this could be a very suitable place to live.
By now it was getting dark.
The four found a suitable spot to set up camp, simply found a windbreak, and began to rest.
Having found a new place, and it seemed likely to be the way out of the forest.
The four split into two groups, taking turns on watch during the first and second half of the night.
The night watch, Jiang Han and Wulin, sharply noticed something amiss; it seemed that someone was approaching from all sides.
It might be beasts.
Or some other strange things.
After experiencing chaos triggered by that previous plant, the group had become quite numb.
No matter how bizarre the scene.
They could accept it.
The two cautiously watched the surroundings; the rustling they heard earlier was no illusion, this was a crucial moment, they couldn't afford to be careless.
However.
Just as the two were on guard, a shadow suddenly leapt down from the tree, and harshly fell onto Jiang Han.
Wulin saw this, at first did not approach, but quickly awakened Baiyu and Grandmaster Long.
The two instantly realized something had happened when they woke.
By then Jiang Han had been wrestling with the figure for quite a while, or to be exact, Jiang Han had been getting beaten up for quite a while.
Baiyu and Grandmaster Long rushed over.
Jiang Han immediately cried for help as if he had seen a savior.
Baiyu acted swiftly, a Fireball quickly shot out, striking the figure.
With a roar.
The assailant was instantly knocked to the ground, rolling a few times before extinguishing the fire on them.
With the help of the firelight.
The group could see the attacker's face clearly.
It was indeed a human, but dressed in a grass skirt made of leaves and weeds, with dark skin, covered in mud.
However.
Baiyu immediately recognized that he was different from the barbarians.
At least this person had a sense of shame, covering the vital parts with the grass skirt, and also understood to attack when they were on rotation.
This person must have been observing them for quite some time.
But the four of them didn't notice.
Baiyu was quite surprised that there were other survivors in the Tidal World.
However.
After that single Fireball, he seemed to have suffered significant injury, yet his Life Force remained strong, not having fallen.
The person quickly got back up, although his chest was burnt over a large area, he showed no sign of retreat.
He was still about to attack Jiang Han!
Baiyu watched his eyes, finally noticing something unusual.
The person's eyes were blood-red, face twitching constantly, clearly he had long lost his sanity, driven by pure instinct.
Wanting to ask him anything was sure to be futile.
Knowing the man was insane, Baiyu gave up the idea of capturing him for questioning, and shot two more Fireballs over.
The firelight brightened the Black Night.
After those two Fireballs, the upper half of the opponent's body was burnt to a charred black.
Yet he still moved.
Jiang Han was pinned to the ground by him, the claw-like left hand instantly slashed open his left leg.
Screams filled the air.
Baiyu hurried over, quickly kicking away the frenzied man, and unleashed three more Fireballs onto his face.
This time.
The man was finally killed.
"How is it?"
Baiyu looked at Jiang Han's wound.
It was a roughly five-centimeter laceration, deep, with blood continuously flowing out.
In this place.
If not treated, it might lead to death from infection.
Jiang Han shook his head, gritting his teeth: "I'm fine, I can hold on. Don't worry about me."
With wounds like this.
If Jiang Han had his original strength, he would recover with just a bit of rest.
But now...
Baiyu could only helplessly pick up a burning stick nearby, and amidst Jiang Han's screams, did a simple wound treatment for him.
Jiang Han was soaked in cold sweat.
But having seen many battles, this kind of pain, he endured.
At this point.
Grandmaster Long's voice came from by the corpse: "Baiyu, come over and look, this person has a diary on them."
