Although the Demon Tide has ceased, its impact is far from over.
The fifth layer, ravaged by the Demon Tide, is now in ruins.
A third of the trees in the forest were set ablaze by the burning beetles, their charred trunks scattered haphazardly in the cracked earth.
A third of the trees were knocked down and snapped by the colossal demons, these thirty-meter-high giant trees uprooted with claw marks and footprints all over their trunks.
The forest area has been reduced by nearly seventy percent, revealing large swathes of fluorescent-lit canopy.
However, the fallen trees could be used as a bed for cultivating mycelium, which Lin Jun could somewhat accept.
The Poison Mist Lake, however, was in a sorry state.
The three-headed serpent, dripping with poison, slithered through half of the fifth layer, leaving behind a trail of dark green poison scabs where nothing could grow—even the Poison Mist Lake was on this path.
Perhaps it's more accurate to call it the Venom Lake now.
