Chapter Twenty-Three: A Clearing in the Forest
In the clearing of the forest, several decomposing corpses remained motionless. They do not lie on the ground, but stand or sit. The shabby old costumes were dull, the outward skin was dark and dull, and from time to time a head was turned, and from time to time a dark red finger was raised, and they were alive.
In the distance, Gu He walked cautiously in the forest. Although I seem to be in a dream, this dream is very real, and the myopia in reality is retained in the dream. Mysticism, in the description of the Giant's Aura, has the effect of communicating mysterious scenes. Gu He felt that he could get out of this dream at any time, but he didn't panic.
Just like the Lijiang City incident, Gu He accidentally communicated the epic level of the two realms, but he was almost bitten to death by two wandering lions in the shell of an ordinary person. The reason for the successful escape is that the dilapidated pickup truck did not lose its chain, and the second is that the giant gave gravityless magic. Comparatively, this kind of dream is safer than the scene at the time. In this kind of dream, if Gu He encounters danger, he can not only take the initiative to escape, but also automatically break away when encountering a fatal attack.
The latter is the feeling that the occult art brings to Gu He. And right now, Gu He felt that there was a mysterious treasure hidden in this dream. At the same time, there seems to be some monsters, and if they can touch it, they will also get some improvements. Myopia is obviously disadvantageous in the matter of exploration, and the speed of discovering danger directly affects the reaction time in the face of danger. But for the sake of a possible reward, as well as that little curiosity, Gu He couldn't help but walk out of the house and walk in the vast forest.
The white mist environment suppressed Gu He's spiritual power. Although the spiritual power still has an active feeling in the forest environment, it is only an illusory feeling, and the actual range that can be observed through the spiritual power is still relatively small. Soon after, Gu He stopped. Behind him, two or three sneaky corpses also stopped. Looking at the moving object in front of them, the three corpses were vaguely saliva, eager to pounce.
The pounce of the corpse or the pounce of the lion, which is more terrifying.
Gu He turned around, and he was also mentally prepared to encounter a monster so soon. After all, in such a white mist forest, it may be that his movement trajectory is very obvious to the monsters. But after all, he is a second-order mid-stage spiritual power awakener, Gu He can faintly feel the heart core of the three carrion corpses, the heart core is actually a condensed consciousness, and smashing the heart core of the monster is to destroy the monster from the soul level. The heart core is broken, and the monster is naturally dead.
Gu He glanced at the three monsters, and his telekinesis quickly pierced into the heart core of one of them like a spear, shattering it. The monster on the far left falls straight to the ground. The spiritual power oscillated a little, but it was not counterattacked too much, indicating that the spiritual power of this monster was not strong. Gu He walked to the right, widening the distance, and at the same time estimated that the spiritual power defense of these monsters should be similar to that of the Jialan spy in Lijiang City, stronger than those ordinary rotting and eating human-faced spiders, but they were all second-order level.
One monster fell to the ground, which stimulated the ferocity of the other two monsters, and they jumped left and right towards Gu He and pounced. With its outstretched rotting limbs, jet-black sharp claws, and fierce fangs open, this set of attacks could easily injure a first-order transcendent who did not carry a divine weapon, and there was nowhere to escape. Gu He calmly dodged to the side, and at the same time faced the real danger, his potential exploded, and the whole person had a little sensitivity. At the same time, the recovered mental power once again unleashed a telekinetic attack on the rotten black shadow that collided with it, killing it!
Only the last rotten black shadow remained, and Gu He was even more confident at this time, and the distance between the two was enough to delay until he sent out his third telekinetic attack. For a long time, Gu He looked at the three dead rotten black shadows on the ground, because they were all humanoid, so people wondered if they were an intelligent race similar to humans when they were alive. Looking at these three decomposing corpses, Gu He felt a little disgusted. At the same time, Gu He didn't know whether to move forward or not. It's still very troublesome to have a lot of this kind of monster.
Originally, it was a random direction, and Gu He could only try his luck. Keep going, while praying that you will be able to reach the end of the road smoothly and find the opportunity you feel in the dark. A green and tranquil lake appeared in front of Gu He's eyes.
At the same time, several figures of decaying corpses standing or sitting also appeared in Gu He's sight. They are motionless, and their costumes exude ancient simplicity. Gu He frowned, stopped cautiously, and even wanted to retreat, but at this time, it was obviously too late to retreat.
Gu He observed the figure of the decaying corpse, and several decaying corpses also turned their heads to look at Gu He. The rotting corpse was dressed in ancient costume, its long, sharp black nails pounding against the ground, and then it stood up.
Gu He activated his telekinesis.
The rotting corpses in the forest were only a shell of the first order before they died. But the four or five decaying corpses of the alien race in front of them are probably guaranteed to be second-order shells before they were alive, and even before they were alive, they were probably third- and fourth-order existences. It's just that he has been dead for too long, and although he reluctantly gathered his consciousness again and turned into a rotting corpse, he also retained the spiritual power at the early level of the second order, but the spiritual power aura revealed by one of the carrion corpses was in the middle of the second order. This is the spiritual power that remains after hundreds of years of death.
Gu He was not sure, even if he was now in the middle of the second order, attacking the early stage of the second order would be counterattacked, just like attacking those rotten man-eating human-faced spiders whose spiritual power was on the verge of the second order in the early second order, but killing two of them, the backlash would make him have a headache. Moreover, at the moment, the strength of the rotting corpse with the strongest fluctuations in spiritual power exceeded his own, and he couldn't deal with it at all.
The moment Gu He hesitated, the spiritual power fluctuations of the five decaying corpses gradually began to become active, and each of them picked up their weapons and slashed towards Gu He. A few weeks of swordsmanship hall cultivation allowed Gu He to see clearly the attack routes of several decomposing corpses, but the unarmed Gu He had no means to defend against the attacks of these corpses for the time being.
Gu He's expression froze, and he quickly fled towards the forest behind him. At the same time, the spiritual power probed the actions of these ancient carrion corpses, and saw that the speed of these carrion corpses was slightly faster than that of ordinary people, and the strength of their moves reached the level of that Garan spy, but the weapons they held were too rotten. At this time, the scimitar in the hand of one of the ancient rotting corpses came out of his hand directly, turning into a moon arc and cutting over.
Gu He stepped aside, dodged the scimitar, and then looked back. Five ancient rotting corpses stood at the edge of the glade in the forest, their decaying fangs opening and closing, as if warnings, and their cold eyes stared at Gu He. They don't seem to come out easily. This made Gu He feel as if he had a chance.
Gu He silently counted in his heart, using this method to calm himself down smoothly, and then his spiritual power turned into two telekinetic spears, which is also the limit of what Gu He can do at present. The two spiritual power spears stabbed at the heart core of the ancient carrion corpse with the strongest spiritual power fluctuations at the same time......
The two spears of spiritual power pierced into the core of the heart, and the leader of the ancient carrion corpse suddenly seemed to "wake up", and the spiritual power that was originally like stagnant water directly began to surge, passively counterattacking Gu He's attack with mental power. At this time, although Gu He had taken the first move, he could not easily resist in the face of the counterattack of the ancient carrion leader's spiritual power that was close to the third order. The continuous collision of spiritual power made Gu He feel like a flame burning in his mind, and like frost piercing into his bone marrow, which was very tormenting.
Call.
Gu He watched the leader of the ancient rotting corpses fall and turn into dry bones, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The leader of the ancient carrion corpses is the biggest variable in this battle, and now that it has been resolved, the remaining ancient carrion corpses are still not to be underestimated, but their chances of victory are already very great. Gu He began to meditate to regain some of his mental strength.
Bang, another ancient rotting corpse fell to the ground, reduced to dry bones.
The empty eyes of the remaining three ancient carrion corpses looked at the two "companions" who were dead on the ground, as if something had happened, and then the three ancient carrion corpses with weapons stepped into the forest. It turned out that as long as these ancient carrion corpses felt that the situation was dangerous, they would still hunt down and kill the sneak attackers.
Gu He turned around and left, this was an ancient carrion corpse with second-order spiritual power, and at the same time, the combat power was at an extraordinary level. It will take a long time to kill one with your mental power, and you will also be counterattacked by a certain amount of mental power. Now, the three ancient carrion corpses joined forces to kill the clearing, and Gu He felt that he didn't have the strength to fight.
Coming to the tree not far away, he took off the scimitar forcefully, and his mental power sensed that the three rotting corpses showed no sign of retreating, and Gu He couldn't help but be a little nervous. I've already dealt with the most troublesome carrion boss, so don't overturn the rest of the mobs now, that's a pity.
Gu He widened the distance between himself and the three ancient carrion corpses, although the three ancient carrion corpses moved faster than ordinary people, they were dead things after all, and it was impossible for them to still fly in the forest. Seeing that the three ancient carrion corpses had always locked on him, Gu He also had a headache, and he didn't know that these things had locked himself through sight, hearing, or unknown means.
Gu He found that as soon as he turned in one direction, the three ancient carrion corpses in the distance immediately "discovered" and chased after him at the shortest distance. In this way, there was no way for him to bypass the chasing ancient carrion corpse and go directly to the clearing in the forest.
Is there anything like this in the world?
A faint glimmer of light in the sky.
Gu He felt that the sky was about to dawn, and he had a hunch that when it really dawned, he might unconsciously get out of this dream. I'm afraid there is less than an hour left. Gu He turned around and rushed towards the three ancient carrion corpses. Three ancient rotting corpses smashed with weapons with cold eyes. Hurriedly dodging, Gu He jumped onto the tree.
The next moment, the spiritual power was activated, and two spiritual power spears pierced into one of the ancient rotting corpses, bang, after withstanding the remaining strength of the counterattack, the ancient rotting corpse was unwilling to turn into dry bones. He used three mental power and telekinetic attacks in a row, and each time the result was to kill one thousand enemies and lose five hundred, Gu He also felt a little unbearable. The remaining two ancient carrion corpses jumped up with a long-pole stone axe, the hard stone axe slashed, Gu He dodged to the side, and then the spiritual power and mental power were activated again, and the last two ancient carrion corpses fell again......
Only the last ancient rotting corpse remained, but Gu He really couldn't activate his spiritual power anymore, with one enemy and four, he also endured four consecutive counterattacks with spiritual power of the same level, Gu He was already determined if he didn't die directly, how could he trigger his spiritual power again.
Gu He held a scimitar in his hand, and under the fluctuation of his tired mental power, with an indomitable momentum, the ancient carrion corpse was expressionless, and he slashed with a stone axe...
