Chapter 15: The Forest of Death
-----------------------
After half a cup of tea, it finally fell to the bottom.
"Oh my God, this is a dead forest", Ye Bai never thought that after coming down, he would see such a scene and opened his mouth to exclaim.
As far as the eye can see, there are tall trees of gray, brown, and black. Silent giants, towering over the earth, some of them as tall as a hundred feet, and from a distance, the huge canopy of trees that were stacked on top of each other covered the sky like dark clouds.
The texture of the branches, leaves, and even the bark of the tree can be clearly distinguished, but instead of a vibrant green, it is a deathly gray.
It was as if the plants in the entire forest had been drained of their vitality at the same time, suddenly dying, and after it died, time froze here. There was no decay, no wilting, everything stayed at the moment they died. It was creepy, chilling, and I couldn't help but wonder what kind of liliang could take away all the vitality here in an instant.
Ye Bai knew that after the trial once in ten years was over, a death frenzy would begin to permeate the thundering abyss, but he still didn't think that death frenzy had such a strange and terrifying liliang. Because there are always many tenacious beings who can hide and wait for the arrival of new life. And here, there is only death, like the legendary Senluo Hell.
The whole forest was dead silent, with no sign of life in sight, and if a living creature approached, it would be the first to be noticed.
Ye Bai didn't dare to be careless, and his divine sense immediately swept every inch of the corner that could be covered, and there was still no movement. The more this was the case, the more Ye Bai didn't dare to relax, his eyebrows were raised, and his face was gloomy. Suddenly stretched out his palm, brushed in the void, the fingertips immediately came with a feeling of dryness and stimulation, the aura in the air is very thin, it can be said that it is close to nothing, it is difficult for a monk to stay in such an environment for a long time, if you can't get the replenishment of the aura, even the vitality of its own connotation, will gradually radiate outward.
Although he didn't feel the existence of aura, Ye Bai keenly caught a trace of faint coercion in the air, revealing a cool and dark aura, which Ye Bai had never felt, as if he came from another shijie.
Although it was the second time that the little civet had come here, it was not much better, and his body had begun to tremble violently, and he stretched out his claws and pointed in a direction, meaning that the storage bag was found there.
Ye Bai changed to a bigger and brighter glowstone to illuminate the surroundings, no longer lingered with emotion, and walked forward. After walking a few steps, I found that the ground was also different from the usual, turning into a yellow sand-like substance, extremely soft, breaking when I stepped on it, making the sound of eating, and stepping on it, I felt like I was stuck in. Obviously, the earth has also lost its ability to nourish all life.
Ye Bai didn't dare to walk anymore, so he flew with Edgeworth instead. Because of the scarcity of spiritual energy in the air, the speed of the flying sword was also much slower, like a dying old man, slowly and leisurely.
For a while, except for the sound of the flying sword breaking through the air, there was no other sound, and the surrounding silence seemed to be a tomb buried for thousands of years. In fact, it is indeed a huge tomb, but it is a tree, grass, and earth, not a person.
After flying for about a pillar of incense, a man and a beast came to the edge of a low depression, near which still kept the remains of dead aquatic plants, and it was obvious that this was once a pool of water.
Ye Bai saw two male remains lying on the ground at a glance, sitting there cross-legged side by side, very close to each other. The flesh had long since decayed, and only the clothes that were still intact were wrapped around the bones.
One of the little fingers of one of them was only half of the skeleton, which is difficult to spot without looking closely. It turned out to be him! Ye Bai was stunned in his heart.
The person with the severed finger is called Jiang Liu, and he is also a famous disciple of Lianyun Dao Sect this year, born in Yuanmo Peak, the second in line, although he is a monk, he has an unusual preference for men and women in the world, and has repeatedly entangled the female disciples of the Purple Bamboo Forest, and finally provoked the anger of the Lingyun Fairy in the Purple Bamboo Forest, and cut off half of his finger as a punishment.
This matter was spread in the Lianyun Dao Sect, even if Ye Bai cultivated with his heart and didn't ask about foreign affairs, he had heard of it somewhat.
Ye Bai touched his chin, since this person is Jiang Liu, then the identity of the other person is about to come out, it must be his inseparable twin brother Jiang Bai, who is also a womanizer. Although the two have bad conduct, their brotherly relationship is very deep, and they have always been in and out together. Unexpectedly, they all died here.
You must know that the cultivation of these two people is a genuine tenth layer of qi refining. Yuan Mo Peak's Dacang Zhenren has always been stingy with pills for his disciples, and he is not at all worried about the danger of unstable realms and pulling out seedlings. Because this old man has a strange treasure in his hand, called the "Tower of the Afterlife", he is the best at simulating the real illusion of the virtual and the real, which is of great help to improve the mind.
Ye Bai circled around the bones of the two, and from a rough point of view, there were no obvious injuries, and there were no traces of fighting around, as if the two were just sitting naturally in meditation.
Suddenly, Ye Bai's pupils shrank, staring at a certain place, and soon found that there was something abnormal, the spine of the two of them was obviously straighter than usual, and even the head was raised high, obliquely.
This is an instinctive reaction that can only be shown when the original spirit is hurt and in severe pain. Because this kind of damage comes from the most mysterious brain area of the human body, it is extremely difficult to resist, and maintaining this posture can slightly lift the will and relieve the pain. Ye Bai was most familiar with this action, because in that sea of thunder, he always maintained such a posture, using his will to fight against the endless suffering of thunder.
The existence lurking in this forest, is it a guy who is good at Yuan Shen attacks? Ye Bai didn't want to guess any more, so he hurriedly bent down and groped for it, Zuihou felt out a storage bag on Jiang Bai's waist, and without checking it, he was about to fly away.
Suddenly, a creepy feeling arose from the bottom of his heart, and Ye Bai felt as if he was standing naked in the ice and snow, being watched by an invisible and qualitative enemy.
Ye Bai barely managed to carry the vitality of his whole body, pinched a sword trick fiercely, and was about to break through the air, but his body was like a sea of mud and cattle, unable to go up. It was as if there was an invisible wall pressing down on him.
Ye Bai saw that he couldn't fly, and knew that there was no way out, so he immediately calmed down, released his divine sense, isolated the cold feeling of being watched, and shouted: "Where is the master, sneaky, don't you dare to come out to meet people?"
The voice came out for a long time, but no one responded.
Suddenly, an old voice broke the silence and came from all directions, saying, "Why should the little doll be in a hurry to leave, stay and talk to me." ”
