The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1099

The current average temperature in River Onxy was over negative twenty degrees Celsius.

That phenomenon was so abnormal that everyone was frozen in shock. Unable to resist the temptation of the life force in the forest, the cultivator that Jonathan had stabbed earlier jumped right in.

“Hey!” Avery shouted at that cultivator from above a hill.

Like a traveler who had found water in a hot and dry desert, the cultivator ignored him and entered the dense forest anyway.

Avery and a few of his men quickly made their way to the edge of the forest.

Aidan curiously reached out to touch the life force that was coming from the forest, but Avery grabbed his wrist and looked him straight in the eye as he said, “Wait! Something isn’t quite right here.”

Meanwhile, the wounded cultivator had a relieved look on his face as he stood dozens of meters away from them.

“It’s fine, really! Look, my wound is healing rapidly!”

Although the cultivator was attracted by the life force, he understood that too much of something good was bad for the body, so he didn’t dare venture too far into the forest.

He stood dozens of meters away from the edge of the forest so that he could easily get out of there if he ran into any danger.

The crowd glanced at the wound on the cultivator’s chest. Sure enough, it was healing at a ridiculously fast rate with the help of the life force.

“It looks fine to me.”

Aidan was tempted to step into the forest when he saw that, but Avery stopped him once again. “No, something isn’t right. Look at his arm!”

Everyone shifted their gaze toward the cultivator’s arm. He was so focused on the wound on his chest that he didn’t notice a black spot on his right arm growing bigger and bigger.

“Don’t just use your eyes! Use your spiritual sense!” Avery whispered to his men.

They were so distracted by the forest and the cultivator’s actions that they forgot to use their spiritual sense.

Having been reminded by Avery, they quickly activated their spiritual sense, and the looks on their faces changed almost instantly.

“Let’s go!” Avery shouted, prompting the men standing outside the forest to jump onto the hill nearby.

Suddenly, tentacles made out of grass and tree roots shot out of the ground they had been standing on a moment ago. The tentacles then went back into the ground after grabbing nothing but air.

The cultivator in the forest realized something was amiss as well. He tried to make a run for it, but the surrounding plants suddenly came to life and formed a huge, green net that ensnared him instantly.

Just like that, the cultivator was wrapped up by countless vines until he became a huge green ball.

Blood kept seeping out of that green ball as more and more vines joined it.

The ball of vines opened itself up about ten seconds later, revealing a pile of bones that used to be the cultivator.

What the… This isn’t a forest! This is a gigantic trap that uses life force as bait!

The men shuddered when they saw the bloodstained grass where the cultivator once stood.

The appearance of this forest must be related to the battle underground. If we exclude Ivanov from the equation, then this must be Jonathan’s doing! Just how many secrets is this guy hiding?

Avery kept his gaze fixated on the forest below as he whipped out a communication device from Kremalos Palace.

“This is Avery. I am currently carrying out a mission at River Onxy. We have deployed a Divine Realm cultivator, but the situation is still chaotic. Please send another Divine Realm cultivator over to assist us!”
