Chapter 31: Terror
In the sea of fog, the shadows of the trees are numerous.
The two of them groped their way forward cautiously, and perhaps because of the previous encounter, Ji Fan always felt that he was being watched by something, but his spiritual sense was cut off by this strange fog, and he couldn't feel anything, so he could only cheer up his spirit and guard against any move of the surrounding grass and trees.
However, not long after walking forward, the two slowed down, and a strange shadow appeared in their sight, and the branches like blood vessels were imprinted on the dense fog with a more terrifying posture than other demon trees, and the two felt a little familiar, and hurriedly stepped forward, and were shocked to see the familiar corpse and messy footprints on the ground.
"Senior brother, we seem to be lost?"
Yue Qing didn't answer, frowned and looked around, and walked in another direction, but soon, the two of them circled back again.
"Damn, without psychics, we're like headless flies. Seeing the familiar scene again, both of them were a little irritable.
"Do you have to follow the footprints?" Yue Qing thought to himself, the two of them had been avoiding the footprints in order to avoid any danger, but now it seemed that this would not work.
"If you can't, just follow the footprints. Ji Fan tried to ask.
"I'm afraid I'm going to hang here like the corpse in front of me. Yue Qing glanced at the corpse on the trunk and said lightly.
"What then?" Ji Fan glanced back at the unpredictable fog behind him, and he couldn't help but say anxiously.
"Forget it, it's better than being sleepy. ”
The two discussed it for a while, and finally decided to follow the footprints head-on, but surprisingly, this time they did not return.
......
Walking in the sea of fog with the shadows of the trees, the sun gradually disappeared overhead with the intensity of the fog, and the two completely lost their sense of direction, like a blind man holding a candle, and could only follow the guidance of the footprints.
And the further he went, the stronger Ji Fan's feeling of being watched, even if it was daylight, it made him shudder for a while, and he didn't know what the mysterious four-legged monster hidden in the dense fog was.
Acting in panic for about ten minutes like blindness, finally, the last row of footprints gradually blurred and disappeared, the two stopped, trying to look at the surrounding environment, vaguely in front of them, it seemed to be a small waterhole calm and terrible, and strangely, the pool water was actually blood red, it was the kind of blood red that devoured people, revealing an unlucky demon.
"Click......
Ji Fan stepped forward, but he seemed to have stepped on something, waved away the fog under his feet, but saw half of the skeleton that was trampled into pieces, Ji Fan panicked, and the two took a closer look, it turned out that the pond was covered with white bones, most of them were animal bones, a pair of huge heads, even if they turned into skeletons, they felt extremely fierce and hideous.
"There are so many spirit beasts dead here. Ji Fan was extremely surprised, and felt as if he had entered the bone cave again, but the place was a little bigger.
"Look at the middle!" Yue Qing pointed out, Ji Fan looked at it, in the center of the pool of water, there seemed to be a small piece of something, because of the dense fog, he couldn't see it very clearly.
"It seems to be the hilt of a sword?" The two of them carefully stepped on their tiptoes to approach the center of the spring, and when they looked closely, the section of the water that appeared to be the hilt of a sword, with a circle of hemp rope wrapped around it, looked very ordinary, but judging by the surrounding environment and the position of this sword, the two of them were seventy or eighty percent sure that this was not an ordinary product.
"Interested......
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the blazing color in each other's eyes, because the Spirit Beast Mountain Range was a place full of infinite possibilities, and maybe what was in front of them was their opportunity!
Ji Fan rubbed his hands eagerly, forgetting the horror of this place for the time being, and Yue Qing didn't care about the white bones under his feet, he quickly approached the edge of the blood pool, and when he looked closely, he found that the style of this sword was quite extraordinary, just by looking at the water, he could feel the cold light that could not be hidden!
"Do you want to take it?" Ji Fan didn't care about the red and somewhat demonic blood at the moment, his eyes were very eager, after seeing Yue Qing nodding, he couldn't hide the heat in his heart, and grabbed the hilt of the sword in front of him.
However, just as his fingers touched it, Yue Qing's expression suddenly changed drastically!
In the forest, which had been dead from beginning to end, suddenly the wind howled angrily, stirring up a white fog like ink! Looking at the eyes again, the originally peaceful pool of blood was also surging uneasily at the moment! It was as if he had triggered some taboo!
Ji Fan was frightened by this scene, but he forgot to let go of the hilt of the sword for a while, at this time, suddenly the wind stopped, and the blood pool was instantly calm, and the next second, out of nowhere, there was a terrifying sound of teeth, which suddenly resounded in the air!
"Teacher, senior brother......" Ji Fan was shocked.
"Let go!"
When this vision happened, there was no need to think that it was also because of the sword, he reacted under Yue Qing's urgent voice, and hurriedly let go of the hilt of the sword, but it did not make the terrifying sound of grinding teeth not disappear, but got closer and closer.
"Broken ......"
Hearing that terrifying sound, Ji Fan swallowed and spat at the mouth, staring nervously at a certain place in the thick fog, Yue Qing looked thoughtful, and his expression was suddenly shocked for a moment, and he was very panicked for the first time, and said: "Oh no, this is actually the place of the spirit mound, there must have been a big demon here in the past, and this sword is used to seal the demon......"
"This voice ......"
"It's the Guardian coming, ...... quickly"
Before he finished speaking, the ground in front of him suddenly shook, and then Ji Fan felt that he was slapped hard by something, and flew out in a whirlwind, all the internal organs seemed to be displaced, the qi and blood surged, and his throat was sweet......
Ji Fan was dizzy, coughed violently, and when he touched his mouth, his mouth was full of blood, and he tried to get up, but when he saw the scalp in front of him, his scalp exploded, and he saw that it was an extremely strong creature, with a human head and a horse body, holding a bronze war spear, and the thick limbs under his body were actually human legs and feet, with no eyes on his face, only a mouth and nose.
"That's what it is...... Guardians?" he looked horrified, the creature in front of him was six feet tall, like a man and a beast, a face without eyes, it seemed to see nothing, but it inexplicably felt that it was looking at you.
Yue Qing was far away from him, and his body shape was also extremely embarrassed, and he seemed to have suffered a blow, and there was a bright red at the corner of his mouth, Ji Fan wanted to get closer, but he staggered and almost fell.
"Is this a man or a beast......"
That creature exuded an amazing sense of oppression, and its strength was unknown how many levels higher than the two of them, so they didn't try to resist, it was pointless.
"Sword... Squint...... Kill ......"
The creature emitted a few strange syllables, Ji Fan was shocked, because after listening carefully to it, it was actually a human speech, and before he could figure out the meaning, he saw that on its bronze war spear, it slowly lit up with a blood-colored light that I don't know what it was, and an extremely dangerous aura stirred up in the air, and the fog was dispelled, Ji Fan wanted to move his steps, but found that his body was fixed in place by an invisible force, as if he had been pressed by a mountain, he couldn't move, and he couldn't even run the aura in his body, so he could only watch.
"Senior brother, run!"
He shouted anxiously in his heart, because he couldn't even make a sound now, and the afterglow swept over, only to see that Yue Qing was still capable of moving, staggering towards the side of the blood pool, Ji Fan was stunned, what did Yue Qing want to do? He looked at the sword in the blood pool, could it?
And it was really the same as Ji Fan guessed in his heart, and soon Yue Qing stood by the blood pool, grabbed the sword in the pool as soon as he stretched out his hand, and smiled strangely at this side.
"Do you want to break the seal of this place to contain this monster? Ji Fan didn't forget that Yue Qing said that there was a big demon here, although he didn't know what it was, but it must be extremely terrifying, he rolled his eyes hard, but saw that the half-human and half-horse monster in front of him was obviously a little flustered, and the blood light on the bronze war spear was uncertain, and finally gave up Ji Fan and rushed towards Yue Qing with a spear.
The invisible restraint suddenly collapsed, Ji Fan was relieved all over, his limbs regained his mobility, he knelt on the ground and gasped for breath, and when he turned around, he saw that the half-human and half-horse monster was very fast, and he rushed to Yue Qing in one breath, and then Ji Fan saw Yue Qing flying up like a sandbag by the horizontal impact, and a large mouthful of blood was spilled in mid-air, but at the same time, he also took the sword in his hand......
"Boom..."
The moment the sword was pulled out, the ground shook strongly, and an indescribable terrifying aura suddenly spread in all directions in the forest!
The monster no longer had time to take care of Ji Fan and the others, and wandered in place very frantically, its forelimbs jumped up, and it let out a roar like a man and a horse at the pool of blood, and the sound shook the mountains and forests!
Ji Fan, who was close, turned pale, and blood overflowed from his mouth and nose at the same time, which was extremely shocking!
However, he also reacted quickly, taking advantage of the fact that the centaur monster was difficult to take care of, he staggered towards the blood pool, and helped Yue Qing, who was seriously injured and difficult to stand up, and then fled in a hurry without looking back, the centaur did not stop it, and let the two of them leave, because the blood pool was sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye! And before a moment, the pool water disappeared completely, and cracks burst out from the bottom of the red pool, as if something terrifying was about to come......
Seeing this, Ji Fan used all his strength to drag Yue Qing, who was in a semi-comatose state, to speed up, and disappeared into the mist in the blink of an eye.
And it didn't take long for the distant centaur monster to roar into the sky, and the entire space was trembling, and the bottom of the blood pool cracked like a bulge, and a black palm stretched out......
............
The misty fog, the strange trees, everything has not changed from beginning to end, Ji Fan dragged Yue Qing non-stop, from the dense fog into the dense fog, it felt as if he had entered an endless space, forever repeating, his mental vision was sleepy, and soon his body was very tired, but he had to persevere, because there was still danger behind him, and he had to escape from this wood.
I don't know how long, it was almost dusk, and finally, the surrounding trees began to become scarce, and the green space under his feet was no longer green, and the rocks gradually increased, and he was in high spirits when he saw this scene, because from previous experience, it was a precursor to the imminent exit from the forest.
After about ten minutes, the two finally broke through the dense fog and rushed out of the mountains and forests, and what came into view was a tall snowy peak that rushed into the sky thousands of miles away.
"This is the inside of the Spirit Beast Mountain Range......" Ji Fan's vision was blurred, and he fell to the ground with Yue Qing, losing consciousness.
