Climb over a few low peaks, pass through a few thorny greens, and come to a secluded forest that exudes a pristine smell.

Different from the regular and luxuriant of other trees, this forest is a little "decadent", only more than five or six zhang high trunks are crooked, the wood color is like charcoal, there are no leaves on the branches, and the strange thing is that from the roots extend dense and extremely bright red plants, climbing and covering the branches, like human blood vessels, extremely terrifying.

"This forest is weird. Ji Fan said, he was a little tired of looking at the green for several months, and now he finally saw a different scene, although it looked terrifying, it could be regarded as a mountain wonder.

"It seems that as rumored, if you want to enter the interior of the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, you must first pass through the Demon Blood Forest. Yue Qing looked at a towering snow peak in the distance and frowned.

"Demon Blood Forest?"

Ji Fan was stunned for a moment, he knew that it was not a good place when he heard the name, he put away the relaxed color, vigilantly looked at this strange-looking wood, and carefully found that the crows and birds here were silent, and even the leaves were not moving, I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something else, a strong sense of bad luck lingered in his heart.

"It's a little weird quiet here. He said.

"Be careful, the Demon Blood Forest is the cordon inside the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, and the reason why it is difficult for outsiders to enter the Spirit Beast Mountain Range is also because of the existence of this forest. ”

The two of them looked solemn, and as soon as they stepped forward, Ji Fan felt that the temperature had dropped, and when he looked up, the sun was shining, but the sunlight shining into the forest seemed to be dissolved by most of it, as if he was in winter, which was very peculiar.

The two of them are soldiers and move forward cautiously.

And as I went deeper, I saw a layer of white mist floating in the forest, and the shadows of the hideous trees were all over the place, which made people feel even more eerie.

"Where did the fog come from. Ji Fan was strange, I don't know where this fog came from.

"This fog can actually isolate the spiritual sense. Yue Qing said solemnly at this time.

Ji Fan was taken aback, and hurriedly felt it, but found that the exploration of consciousness had become a blank.

"What should I do, Senior Brother, do you want to quit?!" his spiritual sense was cut off, and he was as anxious as an ant with tentacles.

Yue Qing was very calm, shook his head for a moment, and the two continued to move forward.

...

The fog in front of them became thicker as the two of them gradually deepened, until later, wherever the two walked through, they left a vacuum.

"Unlikely, the sun is so big and there is such a heavy fog?" The mist shone in the sunlight, producing extremely dazzling rainbows.

"It's weird......" Yue Qing was also full of doubts, and said to himself.

"Quack..."

At this time, there was a sudden sound of dead branches breaking in the mist not far from his side, and there was a great sound in this blood forest where the needles could be heard, and the two of them suddenly looked back in that direction, and the sound was extremely unnatural, it sounded as if something had stepped on a dead branch! Ji Fan's nerves suddenly tensed, could it be that there are other living beings in this terrible dead forest?

"Sand ......"

Immediately after that, a slight rustling sound came, as if someone was gently moving their steps, and the two of them looked at each other, judging that those who had such behavior must be human beings!

"Is anyone over there?!" In such an environment, it is not a good thing to suddenly meet a stranger, and the other party's quiet behavior is obviously not to let the two of them find out, Yue Qing's eyes were condensed, and he suddenly shouted for a moment.

"Click......

When the words fell, a very faint voice came out, and Ji Fan could imagine that the other party was startled by this sudden sound.

But there was still no response, the two looked at each other meaningfully, took out the dagger quite tacitly, and quietly touched it under the cover of the mist.

The distance between the two sides was not very far, and within dozens of steps, the two of them had already arrived at the location where the sound source came from, but the person in the dark had long since disappeared, leaving only a fog that had been disturbed.

"Did you run away?" Ji Fan looked around, his nerves didn't dare to relax in the slightest, in this desolate forest, it was okay to encounter spirit beasts, after all, the other party's thinking just wanted to eat them.

But if you deal with a human with great intelligence, and hide it in the shadows, it will be very terrifying.

"Didn't go far, still nearby. Yue Qing pointed to the traces of the hollow in the mist, and suddenly Ji Fan found that only a nearby fog was a little messy, and although the surrounding fog was surging, it was still very intact.

After observing for a long time, finally, there was a 'special' tree in the thick fog, which attracted the attention of the two, unlike the distortion of other strange trees, the shadow of the strange tree in the fog seemed a little unnatural, and the middle section was a little thick, it looked like there was a 'person' hiding behind it, but because the trunk was too thin to be completely hidden.

Ji Fan tightened the dagger in his hand, and the two of them quietly touched it left and right, and gradually saw that it was really a person who didn't dare to move if he was clinging to the trunk!

Ji Fan's palm holding the dagger trembled slightly, quickly calmed down, and quietly stepped forward under the cover of the fog.

The man didn't seem to notice the two approaching each other, and when they reached the right distance, they attacked almost at the same time, but just as the dagger was about to be placed on the man's neck, the two of them stopped abruptly, and then suddenly retreated at the same time!

"Ahh

It turned out to be a corpse that had long since died, and because it was tightly wrapped in blood-colored rattans from the trees, it looked like someone was hiding against the trunk of the tree under the thick fog.

There was a false alarm, the two shook their heads, approached and looked, and found that this person's death was extremely terrifying, looking as if he had been skinned, and the blood-colored rattan wrapped around his body strangled the dark black flesh into strips, and on the face that could not be distinguished, two deeply sunken eye sockets were dark and faint, and Ji Fan seemed to be able to see two shriveled eyeball tissues that could no longer see what they were.

"This man died so miserably, the skin was picked!"

After calming down his emotions, Ji Fan stepped forward to take a look curiously, but he was pulled back by Yue Qing after just two steps.

"Don't get close, there's something wrong with this tree!" he followed Yue Qing's point, and found that several of the blood-colored rattans wrapped around his body were deeply inserted into his heart under his ribs, drumming from time to time, like blood-devouring poisonous insects.

"This ...... What a forest of evil!"

Ji Fan's expression changed, and he looked at the shadows of the trees around him that were dancing in the mist, and he inexplicably felt a chill on his back.

"Click..."

At this moment, a crisp sound of a dead branch breaking was heard again, this time it seemed to be nearby!

The two of them trembled, and looked sharply, but the rattan on the corpse in front of them was constantly tightened, and the corpse was finally unbearable, and the ribs were broken.

It turned out that the sound of the dead branches breaking was made like this.

Ji Fan was shocked and relieved, and suddenly felt a little funny in his heart, and it turned out that the two of them were scaring themselves for a long time.

Shaking his head slightly, he saw Yue Qing squatting on the ground, staring thoughtfully at a certain place on the ground, and squatting down in doubt, but saw a row of black footprints, one of which had a broken dead branch on it......

"It's ......"

Ji Fan's pupils shrank, these were the footprints of a standard human, it seemed that they had not been left for a long time, and when he looked down from the ground, he saw that he gradually extended and disappeared into the dense fog, leaving a hollow area!

I wasn't mistaken, but there were indeed people in the woods!

"This guy...... Hide and seek with us?!" Ji Fan said angrily, he didn't know where the courage and anger came from, he stood up and was about to chase after him, but was pulled by Yue Qing.

"Don't chase, this guy isn't human!"

"What?" Ji Fan was excited, and most of his anger suddenly disappeared, and he immediately looked at the standard human footprints on the ground, and blinked in confusion.

Yue Qing also seemed to know what he was thinking, pointed to the strange footprints everywhere, and said, "These four footprints were left by a 'person'. ”

Hearing this, Ji Fan was suddenly a little inexplicable, and said, "Aren't these footprints all human?"

Yue Qing took a deep breath, glanced at him, and said in a deep voice, "I mean this 'person' has four legs!"

Hearing this, Ji Fan was stunned for a moment, and when he found the strangeness of the footprints on the ground, a chill slowly came up.

In front of him, there is no doubt that the footprints are human footprints, and there is nothing surprising at a glance, but if you look closely, you will find that there are still some differences between the footprints and humans, especially the place that Yue Qing pointed to, the four footprints are crossed and mixed, and the standard quadruped walks, Ji Fan can't help but have a strange picture in his heart.

"Is it a spirit animal?"

When he said this, he was a little strange, what kind of spirit beast would have human-like paws.

Yue Qing shook his head and looked deeply at the front of the footprints stretching away, not knowing what was hidden in the fog.
