According to the standards previously provided by the base, after extracting the essence, it would take about half a month for these Gold Silk Woods to respond. In other words, Ye Luo must leave here half a month after extracting the essence, or else once the Law Enforcers find out, whether he can leave becomes an unknown!

"Hopefully, the base can keep its word!" Ye Luo sighed quietly.

He turned his head and saw Old Monster Ding recovering his space-time strength. Originally, after handing the bones over to Ye Luo, his own space-time power would decline as his physical body decayed. But now, he somehow managed to slowly restore the power of the space-time law.

This made Ye Luo somewhat envious, as he had only understood a trace of space-time strength last time, with the help of the Third Princess.

But he also understood that comprehending laws is not a matter of a day or two, and the space-time law is even harder to grasp than the Thunder Principle or Slaughter Law.

Time gradually passed, and the bottles in his Qiankun Ring piled up one by one. The speed at which this extraction device extracts essence is indeed not slow.

At this rate, another full day of extraction, and it should be almost done!

But a whole day! Though to cultivators, it’s merely a fleeting glance, for Ye Luo today, it’s torment!

Who knows what might happen in a whole day! If Law Enforcers discover it, given the base’s current half-dead state, he’d be doomed instantly!

Suddenly, while meditating, Ye Luo opened his eyes, staring fixedly at the Gold Silk Forest ahead.

For up ahead, he felt a kind of inexplicable fear! A dangerously intense aura accompanied by a decaying and foul stench made Ye Luo’s stomach churn.

The intensity of this stench was increasing. Initially, Old Monster Ding didn’t perceive it, since aside from the space-time law, he had neither realm nor body refinement, making his perception naturally inferior to Ye Luo’s.

But now, he stood up abruptly, his face instantly turning pale.

"How is it possible? How could there be demonized cultivators here!"

Upon hearing his cry, Ye Luo’s heart sank as well. He had previously suspected that the stench was emanating from a demonized body, which now seemed likely correct!

After all, Old Monster Ding wouldn’t be unfamiliar with demonized bodies. It was said that in the early years, the Death Qi in Holy City was much more intense than now, and during frequent early-year wars, injured cultivators whose realms had plummeted were easily corrupted by Death Qi, transforming into demonized bodies.

Ye Luo had witnessed the terror of demonized bodies firsthand. Their strength was secondary; the terrifying part was their plague-like contagion and speed. If Ye Luo were infected, he couldn’t guarantee if the base could heal him.

Moreover, even if he possessed a healing law, it would likely be ineffective! This demonization is particularly bizarre, due to the influence of the Dark Law!

Currently, Ye Luo’s only reliance is the Thunder Principle, but his comprehension of the Thunder Principle, though profound compared to ordinary cultivators, is somewhat lacking against the Dark Law.

Especially this demonized body that comprises a higher-tiered Dark Law.

"Damn, if these demonized bodies appear, we’ll all risk dying here!" Old Monster Ding said with a drastic change of expression, his eyes staring fearfully into the distance.

Despite his severely diminished realm now, he once enjoyed glory, and Ye Luo didn’t doubt his mindset. His uncharacteristic display indicated past encounters with demonized bodies, potentially leading to psychological shadows.

"Senior, shouldn’t we escape immediately?" Ye Luo rose and attempted to retrieve the extraction device.

After all, only an energy barrier separates this place from the outside. Previously, the demonized bodies hadn’t appeared outside, implying they must be unable to escape the energy barrier.

Yet Old Monster Ding shook his head with a wry smile, "Upon sensing their stench, they’ve already detected us. These wretched creatures have far more acute senses than ours, and countless cultivators have perished beneath their claws in the past. You can never imagine how fierce they are!"

Speaking this, his body started trembling slightly, his eyes filled with terror and anger!

Despite the horror of these demonized bodies, Old Monster Ding’s reaction was rather anomalous!

After all, he was once a powerful figure, and with the space-time law transferred to Ye Luo, he faces eventual death soon, at most in a few years, so he shouldn’t fear death like this!

"Senior, regardless of whether they’ve targeted us, if we manage to escape, these creatures surely won’t follow us out!" Ye Luo said anxiously.

At this moment, they hadn’t yet seen the shadow of the demonized bodies, suggesting some distance remains. Consequently, they have ample time to escape the energy barrier.

"I’ve already said, don’t waste your efforts. If these creatures venture out, it’s indeed a disaster, at least we’ll likely face the same fate. You think this energy barrier can constrain them? That’s sheer wishful thinking! They’re not leaving probably because of the Gold Silk Wood! Furthermore, do you think Law Enforcers haven’t discovered these creatures? Or perhaps their existence might even be linked to Law Enforcers. Now look behind us, do we still have a way out?" Old Monster Ding said coldly.

His emotions seemed calmer than before.

And as Ye Luo heard his words, he noticed a massive formation suddenly appearing behind them, seemingly enveloping the entire Gold Silk Forest.

Clearly, this wasn’t an abruptly constructed formation but had long existed. Judging by its scale, it must have taken many years to build!

Given Ye Luo’s cultivation level, breaking open this Great Array was utterly impossible!

Thus, the intention was quite evident: to obstruct the escape of these demonized bodies, preventing them from freely exiting.

But consequently, Ye Luo and Old Monster Ding were trapped inside, and a strong sense of crisis surged within Ye Luo’s heart.

First things first, Ye Luo naturally reached out to the base for help, as the current situation disregarded any notions of pride!

"Ye Luo, don’t panic; we’re already aware of your situation and are simulating the current environment in search of a breakthrough!"

Since Ye Luo shared the current scene with the base before entering, he realized the base should have long understood the current circumstances.
