Just when the mirage monster was confused, Wu Man'er recited a spell quickly, pressed one hand on the sacred ginkgo tree beneath her, made a gesture with the other hand, and let out a tender cry.
The sacred ginkgo tree beneath her flashed green light, and dozens of thick trees and vines grew out at an incredible speed. This was the magical power of "Falling Leaves".
Nearly half of the trees came out of their holes like spirit snakes, quickly wrapping around the body of the mirage monster and wrapping it in a huge tree ball in just one or two breaths. The other half of the trees flew towards the white mist that enveloped Shen Luo and the others, and hit it hard.
Amid a series of rumbling sounds, the white fog formation was mostly defeated.
The vast sea illusion where Shen Luo and others were located suddenly began to shake violently, with fluctuating spiritual lights appearing in many places.
Shen Luo's eyes glowed with green light, and he used all his strength to activate the Netherworld Ghost Eye to investigate the surroundings. He also released all his spiritual sense, which spread in all directions.
Netherworld Ghost Eye was already good at the art of illusion, and this illusion array had a lot in common with the Yin-Yang Microdust Array. Now that he was injured, his eyes quickly lit up, and he leaped towards somewhere in the illusion. With golden light shining in his hand, the Xuanhuang Yiqi Stick burst into a golden light that shot up into the sky, and countless stick shadows flashed in it, hitting heavily somewhere in the space.
With a "swish", the space was shattered by a blow, revealing a ten-foot-long crack that emitted bursts of white light.
Shen Luo twisted his body and flew in like a ghost. His eyes blurred and he returned to the magic circle space outside.
But before he could be happy, a loud rumbling sound came from below, shaking the entire space.
In the forest below, blinding blood-red light suddenly burst out. With a loud "bang", a blood-red bird head as big as a city wall broke through the layers of thick and entangled trees and emerged.
The bird opened its mouth and spit out a blood-red flame that poured out and landed on the surrounding giant trees. The blood-red flame did not emit a very high temperature, but once it touched the giant tree forest, the indestructible thick tree vines hissed and turned into ashes in an instant.
Wu Man'er's pretty face in the upper space changed drastically. Her hands instantly formed a seal and pressed on the sacred ginkgo tree.
The huge trees in the forest below pounced out like snakes and all rolled towards the bloody bird head.
However, there were continuous rumbling sounds all around, and eight more blood-red bird heads broke through the blockade of the giant tree forest from other places and emerged.
The shapes of these giant bird heads were slightly different. They opened their mouths and spewed out streams of blood-red flames, red lightning, or blood-red poisonous clouds that fell like raindrops and hit various parts of the giant tree forest. The power of those lightning, poisonous clouds and other attacks was no less powerful than the blood-red flames. In the blink of an eye, they destroyed nearly half of this unparalleled forest of trees.
"What happened?" Shen Luo asked hurriedly when he saw Wu Maner's actions.
"Something terrible has happened. The Nine-headed Insect has grown nine heads and has already broken free from the falling leaves!" Wu Man'er said solemnly.
"We have taken everything we should take. There is no point in staying here. Let's go!" Shen Luo's expression changed and he waved his hand anxiously.
Wu Man'er and the ghost general quickly jumped up and flew towards Shen Luo, but before they could fly to Shen Luo's side, the tree ball that imprisoned the mirage monster suddenly burst into a dazzling white light and exploded.
