As far as the eye could see, the sky was green. A gentle breeze blew, and the forest was like a surging sea, with neat, pleasant waves and bursts of fragrance.

Ding Lu stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the lush, lush forest below, slightly overwhelmed.

A few minutes ago, he had been talking to his guide, who had followed Priest Sheng Xiaohui's orders to tell him about the special features of the Sacred Light World, and had been patiently waiting for his answer.

But suddenly, an energy palm containing majestic divine power appeared, ignoring his guide's obstruction, and forcibly threw him into this world of sacred glory.

There had been many people thrown into the Sacred Light World at the same time as him, but now he couldn't see a single person, whether he looked around or into the distance, as if he were the only one in the world.

As a teenager, he was suddenly faced with this situation, and he was filled with fear. However, his experiences in the Sacred Clear Sea and his three previous visits to the Sacred Light World made him understand that fear was useless without knowing whether there was a savior, and he had to resolve some matters while he didn't know the specific time the Sacred Light World would close.

First, assess the specific situation of the area. Are there any dangers? Are there water sources? Are there fruit trees or wild animals to catch?

Second, find a safe place to stay overnight.

Third, if conditions permit, find as many selectors as possible and act with them. The most important things for a living person are undoubtedly water and food, and water is especially important. If someone else were suddenly thrown into the forest, they might be overwhelmed for a long time, but Ding Lu didn't. He happened to have previous experience surviving in the forest.

There are many ways to find water sources. You can listen for the sound of flowing water; you can smell it, and there's a greater chance of a water source by observing the direction of moisture and smell. Furthermore, water sources can be found by observing the terrain and plant growth.

But this time, it didn't have to be so troublesome. He stood high and looked far away. Currently, about two kilometers to his west, there happened to be a river flowing south.

Ding Lu scanned the sky and felt that he couldn't continue waiting, so he found a way down the cliff and headed towards the river.

The lush forest blocked the sun, and dead branches and leaves were everywhere along the path, and the air was filled with a putrid stench.

Ding Lu moved forward cautiously, his eyes darting everywhere, alert for any possible danger. Suddenly, he was stuck in place. He smelled the faint scent of blood.

Although he stood still, the smell of blood was growing stronger. This meant that the blood creatures were either getting worse or more numerous, or the distance between them was shrinking, and either way, it wasn't good news for him.

A rustling sound gradually came from his ears, and something was rapidly approaching him. After thinking about it, he decided to hide first.

Although he and Ye Zihang had come to Camp No. 1 at the same time, their cultivation had not been long, only the late-stage strength of the Second Order, far from the average level of the selectors who had entered Camp No. 1 for several years. If he rushed in to help, not only would he not be able to help others, but he would also be committing suicide.

As he thought, he climbed up a large tree trunk and hid behind the dense foliage to observe where the sound was coming from.

The sound grew louder and louder, and the smell of blood grew stronger. Ding Lu slowed his breathing, and his grip on the tree trunk gradually tightened. His body stiffened, and he dared not move.

After a while, the sound finally drew closer, and upon seeing the person coming through the foliage, Ding Lu was suddenly stunned!

"You're Zihang?"

I saw a large figure rush out of the waist-high thorns, like a chariot, knocking over the flying thorns and branches. He seemed panicked, looking back occasionally as he ran, his eyes filled with fear.

Ding Lu followed his gaze and looked back, only to see that there were also five voters running for their lives, their expressions also terrified, as if there was something terrifying behind them.

Ding Lu didn't hesitate for long before he saw two tall humanoids dressed in pitch-black armor and wielding long black blades rushing towards the six people.

Over two meters tall, they were not human-like, and their explosive power was significantly higher than the six voters when running and jumping.

Judging by Ding Lu's appearance alone, the black-armored men could easily catch up to Ye Zihang's six people, but they didn't do so. Instead, they deliberately controlled their speed and forced Ye Zihang's six people forward.

They were consuming Ye Zihang and the others' physical strength, while also pushing them into an encirclement.

These two men in black armor still had companions!

Faced with this gathering that resembled a beast hunt, Ding Lu quickly made a judgment and was caught in a bind.

What should he do?

First of all, the guide had clearly told him that this time the Shengyao World was very strange. Everything that manifested within it was real, and it was no longer like the previous Shengyao World. Death in it would at most cause a slight mental trauma, but in this Shengyao World, death was truly death.

Although he was still young, he also had a clear understanding of death. What should he do now? What could be done?

Ye Zihang below was already a third-level Ming Ling, and there were also three third-level Ming Lings among the other five electors. Two second-level Ming Lings, if they rushed in, they likely wouldn't be able to help at all.

But if she didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to overcome the hurdle in her heart.

Although she and Ye Zihang weren't particularly close, they had ultimately emerged from the same selection camp, and they had experienced two adventures in Shengyao World together, and they had supported each other throughout. Furthermore, after this period of getting along, she had gotten to know Ye Zihang a little better. This fat man wasn't bad, but he had suddenly gained extraordinary strength and power, and he wanted to "make the most of everything" to protect himself.

Ultimately, this was the effect of his previous life. Ding Lu was also an orphan, and she could understand Ye Zihang. Simply put, she had recognized Ye Zihang as a friend.

She asked herself, could she watch her friends die like this? She couldn't. After realizing this, she no longer hesitated and began to carefully consider how to resolve the situation.

Her thoughts raced, and as her eyes drifted away, she suddenly froze in the sight of a lush bush of blood-red flowers. She was shocked at first, but then she had a plan.

At this moment, Ye Zihang desperately wanted to cry!

He was happily eating extra food in the cafeteria, but he was suddenly thrown into a dense, dense forest. Before he knew what was happening, he saw more than a dozen voters screaming and rushing towards him in terror. He was so frightened that he got up and started running wildly.

A short time later, he saw with his own eyes a humanoid creature in black armor attacking the voters, and the pungent smell of blood wafted over, nearly scaring him to the point of urinating.

Ye Zihang had never experienced anything like this before!

Someone had died in front of him, and in such a terrifying manner! This instantly detonated the small universe in his body, causing him to unleash all his divine power and rush forward.

In just ten minutes, only six of his companions were left, fleeing far away. Everyone was exhausted, their divine power nearly depleted, and the fear in their hearts was about to burst out. He wanted to cry, but he didn't have time to cry; he wanted to live!

"Ye Zihang, run here!"

Just as he was in despair, a familiar voice rang out.

Almost instantly, Ye Zihang recognized the owner of the voice and couldn't help but exclaim in alarm, "Ding Lu!"

"Quick, run over here!" Ding Lu shouted anxiously.

Ye Zihang didn't know why, but he believed Ding Lu wouldn't harm him, so he turned and rushed towards Ding Lu.

The five voters behind Ye Zihang were also in a state of headlessness. When they saw that Ye Zihang and Ding Lu were firmly in agreement, they hurriedly chased after them. However, the voters running behind were too weak, and their speed was greatly slowed. They were caught by a man in black armor. The black-armored man swung his long blade, and with a flash of black light, the voters didn't even have time to scream before they fell to the ground.

The pungent smell of blood rushed straight into Ding Lu's nostrils, making his hair stand on end. The image of the fallen voters made him understand the true meaning of "truth and death" in the guide's words.

The more frightened he became, the angrier he became. It was all to blame for that sudden palm strike!

But fear was fear, anger was anger, and he hadn't forgotten his current situation.

He saw Ye Hang rush at Ding Lu, and Ding Lu threw a large leaf at him. The black sap blooming on the leaves splashed onto Ye Hang's body, and the latter was suddenly a little confused, but Ding Lu's explanation came just in time: "This is ebony sap, which can mask one's breath. Do you see those red flowers over there? Those are piranhas with extraordinary abilities, and we're hiding there!"

As Ding Lu spoke, he also splashed ebony sap on the four spectators behind him.

Ebony trees were adept at attracting prey with sap, and there was plenty of sap on the tree's body, and Ding Lu could grab a handful with a light scratch.

The group dripped with black sap and dove into the red flowers.

The flowers of the red flower bushes were covered with white fangs, which made Ding Lu and Ye Hang tense.

The men in black who were following him came to the piranha bushes and stood still. Although they didn't know what these red flowers were, they instinctively sensed the danger.

After them, three more men in black armor soon arrived, and the five men in black armor stood in place, communicating in a strange language.

After a while, the three black-armored men passed through the red piranha bushes and left, while the other two crouched down, smelling the ebony sap left by Ding Lu, Ye Zihang, and the others, got up and searched for them, seemingly unwilling to give up until they were caught.

At the same time, Ding Lu and Ye Zihang in the red flower looked at each other, both asking the same question at the same time.

"What happened?"

Yes, what happened? Why were they suddenly thrown into the Holy Light world? Why did they inexplicably encounter enemies and become hunted? What should they do to get out?

Neither side knew anything about this.

At the same time, in this vast Holy Light world, similar events continued to unfold, and every second, selectors were dying, and a bloody aura gradually filled the world.
