In the poplar forest, I don't know when, there was suddenly a little more yin in the wind, which was not obvious, but Xuan Cheng felt it.

When Shen Muzhi walked to the edge of the poplar forest, he suddenly noticed that the feeling of this poplar forest had changed. It's as if something has suddenly woken up.

At this moment, the three horses that had been standing and grazing by the lake suddenly neighed, and ran away into the distance, as if frightened.

Shen Muzhi turned his head to look at the three horses that had fled quickly, frowned, and then looked back at the poplar forest in front of him.

In the darkness, those poplar trees with bent branches were a little more strange at this time, as if they were a fierce beast, slowly waking up.

Shen Muzhi didn't rush in immediately. With Xuan Cheng's strength, no matter how weird this poplar forest is, it is impossible for him to lose the power to resist all of a sudden. Moreover, if Xuan Cheng can't cope with it, then it is useless for him to rush in, but it is easy to drag Xuan Cheng back.

After thinking about it, Shen Muzhi looked around the poplar forest.

The horses that had fled before had disappeared somewhere, but they were gone.

Shen Muzhi didn't pay attention to it, and after looking around, he couldn't see anything outside the poplar forest. It seems that it is very difficult to find any clues from the outside without going into the forest.

By this time, the caravan had arrived nearby.

However, as soon as they approached, the camels and horses in the group neighed and struggled to escape.

For a time, there was chaos in the caravan.

Shen Muzhi only glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze.

At this point, the wind is gone. In the whole heaven and earth, there seemed to be no other sound except for the noise coming from the caravan not far away.

It's a very eerie feeling. There is a voice, but there is a lingering sense of silence. And this sense of silence makes these sounds, which sound extremely abrupt, out of place with this world, as if they should not appear.

Shen Muzhi frowned, stared at the poplar forest for a while, and decided to go into the forest to find out.

As soon as he entered, he felt a sudden silence in his ears, and the noise of the caravan was isolated from the forest. It's as if one step away is two worlds.

Shen Muzhi turned around, the lake could still be seen, and he couldn't help but feel a little sure in his heart.

It seems that it could be some kind of enchantment or something.

Thinking about it, he subconsciously tried to walk out again.

To his surprise, as soon as he took a step forward, the edge of the forest seemed to have moved in the direction of Shen Muzhi's step. To put it simply, he's still in place.

The lake is still there, not near, not far.

It seems that the cats in this poplar forest are not simple than he imagined, but he doesn't know how many 'surprises' are still hidden. Shen Muzhi, who was in a more dignified mood, turned his head to look at the darkness in the depths of the poplar forest, took a slight breath, and began to walk into the depths.

In the forest, the yin qi is very strong.

These yin qi seems to come out from under those poplar trees. There is not a lot of yin qi coming out of each tree, but there are not thousands of poplar trees in this forest, but there are hundreds, and when they are gathered, the amount is very amazing.

Shen Muzhi walked carefully in it, trying not to touch these poplar trees around him. As you walk, keep an eye on your surroundings. According to their previous estimates from the outside, this poplar forest is about an acre in size, in the shape of a crescent, and the inner side hugs the lake outside. He came in from the side of the lake, and it stands to reason that he would go straight through the poplar forest, and no slower than the tea time.

However, after Shen Muzhi walked for about a stick of incense, he was still in the forest, and he couldn't see the situation on the other side at all. Obviously, the size of this poplar forest was no longer the size he saw outside. However, with the discovery made when trying to leave the poplar forest earlier, this situation is also expected.

It's just that Xuan Cheng and Xu Ranran are still nowhere to be seen.

Shen Muzhi stopped, it's not a matter of going on like this, if you want to find Xuan Cheng and Xu Ranran, you have to find another way.

Thinking, he set his gaze on the dirt at the roots of the poplar trees around him.

In the dirt, wisps of yin qi were permeating out.

Shen Muzhi stared at it for a while, then narrowed his eyes, it seemed that the mystery of this poplar forest might be under this underground.

Just when Shen Muzhi was about to dig it out and take a look, suddenly, there was a voice not far behind him.

"What do you say those brutes are doing today, why are they all suddenly making a fuss, could it be that there is something wrong with those things that were eaten at noon?"

The sudden appearance of this voice suddenly broke the silence in this poplar forest, and it also seemed to break the tacit understanding and balance between Shen Muzhi and this poplar forest.

Suddenly, the wind came from nowhere, whistling and whimpering, and all kinds of murmuring sounds, such as countless people whispering in your ear. It's not loud, but it's so loud that it's unbearable and irritable.

Not far away, the two big men had already loosened their belts and were about to release the water, when they suddenly heard this movement, their faces suddenly changed. After the two glanced at each other, they all accepted the intention of releasing water, grabbed their pants, turned around and ran.

It's just that when I turned around, I found that the lake, the bonfire, and the companions that were obviously in front of me couldn't get close.

No matter how they run, they always seem to be in place.

The faces of the two big men gradually turned pale, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, their eyes looked around in horror, and their legs trembled a little.

"Damn, you've hit an evil spirit!" one of them, a little bolder, scolded in a low voice.

Another said in a trembling voice, "I've heard that those dirty things are the ones who can't listen to swear words the most! Why don't we try?"

The two looked at each other, and then, riveting their strength, began to scold. All kinds of foul language, three roads on the upper road and three roads on the lower road, and the eighteen generations of ancestors, all came out.

In the forest, the wind became louder, and those whispers gradually changed to the volume of normal speech. Suddenly, it was as if you were in a bustling street, and all kinds of sounds were endless.

It's just that it's not a bustling street, it's a dark forest, and there is no one except for a few of them.

Hearing this, the two men scolded and became less courageous, and finally they didn't dare to make a sound, leaned on one place, and looked around in horror. At that moment, a phantom suddenly floated in front of their eyes.

"Hell!"

One of them screamed, turned around and ran.

It's just that he didn't run a few steps, and suddenly something seemed to trip him under his feet, and the whole person suddenly rushed forward, and instantly slammed into the ground.

As soon as he fell, countless tentacles suddenly came out from underneath, tightly entangled the big man, and grabbed him into the dirt. But in the blink of an eye, the eight-foot man was gone.

The other person was running behind the big man, but when he saw this scene, he was immediately so frightened that the three souls went out of his body, and his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground.

At this moment, a phantom suddenly appeared behind him, and one leaned over, and the black shadow merged with the big man.

The big man who was so frightened that he lost his soul suddenly became excited, and then, in his godless eyes, a black light flashed, and then he got up and walked out.

This time, in just two or three steps, the big man came out of the forest.

On the other side, after the movement of the two big men woke up the entire poplar forest, many phantoms also appeared around Shen Muzhi.

These phantoms, all of them in human form, did not look aggressive at this time, but just walked aimlessly through the forest.

But it's just that it doesn't look aggressive at the moment.

Shen Mu couldn't figure out the reality of these figures for a while, and he didn't dare to act rashly for the time being.

At this time, by the lake outside the forest, the bonfire was lit high.

It was a small caravan, less than twenty people in all. At this time, some people were squatting around the campfire preparing dinner, some people were settling their horses nearby after a day's work, and some people were sorting out their goods.

When one of the people around the bonfire turned around, he saw the big man coming out of the forest, and asked with a smile: "What about Lao Ding?

When the words fell, the big man turned a deaf ear and walked straight to the nearest young man.

As he approached behind him, the young man probably heard footsteps and turned to look at the big man. At this glance, the big man suddenly opened his mouth and pounced on him.

The young man was unexpected, and was thrown to the ground at once, and before everyone could react, the big man bit the young man's neck.

A scream rang out, and the young man clutched his neck, blood gushing from his fingers.

But the big man chewed the mouthful of bloody meat, looked up at the people around him, and suddenly grinned.

Suddenly, everyone felt cold and creepy.

The young man struggled for a few moments under him, and then he stopped moving. In the round eyes, it gradually emptied, and finally only fear remained.

At this moment, the big man let out a beast-like roar from his mouth, and then got up and pounced on another nearby person.

"Stop!"

Someone shouted.

In the caravan, there are usually warriors who have good hands. At this time, after being shouted back to his senses by this shout, they shot out one after another. It's just that this big man used to be just an ordinary person who knows a little punch and kick, but now he is as powerful as an ox, and he doesn't feel pain. It was difficult for those martial artists to take him down for a while. It took about a cup of tea time before they finally worked together to kill this person.

As soon as the big man fell, black qi came out of his seven orifices, gathered into a stream in mid-air, and rushed into the poplar forest behind.

The frightened caravan looked at this scene, and their faces couldn't help but get worse. Almost without much discussion, everyone in the caravan invariably set their horses and loaded their goods, and they all moved very quickly, preparing to leave this strange place as soon as possible. As for the old man who didn't come out, no one could care about it at this time.

It's just that when these people put on their horses and fled out shouting, they found that this world did not seem to have changed, but in fact it had changed.

No matter how they walked, they always wandered within a mile of this poplar forest. As soon as they turned back, they could see the poplar forest, as if it were a dormant beast, staring at them like a group of clowns.
