Chapter 498: No Return
The group returned the same way and came to the fire pool, only to notice that the situation of the remaining team on the other side was somewhat abnormal.
When they crossed to the other side, the old man who had suffered the loss of his son was gone, and the rest of the crowd looked restless, as if they had suffered great fear.
"What, has that gentleman already gone back first?" Luo Shenxing, as the person in charge, asked casually as a matter of routine.
And his question seemed to wake everyone up from the state of lost souls, and they swarmed around, hiding behind him one by one, and at the same time tremblingly raised their fingers to Ye Shuo.
"Murderer...... He was a murderer! He first killed someone's son, and then killed someone's son...... Murderer, murderer ......"
"Are you guys going on or not?" Ye Shuo didn't bother to get angry now, although he didn't know what was going on here, but no matter what, he had a clear conscience.
"Is it fun to slander others? I've been with the army all the time, how can I be distracted and kill people? Besides, even if he is dead, he should always leave a corpse behind, right? Is the corpse eaten by me or by you?"
Although this group of people was fierce when they accused, none of them dared to look at him head-on, and when they saw his gaze sweeping, they immediately avoided it, but they were still muttering something incoherently.
Although most people are indeed on the same path as Ye Shuo, cultivating to the level of condensation, it can be said that it is easy for everyone to turn into a clone, but it cannot be used as evidence of his absolute innocence. What's more, there are three feet of waves without wind, hearing such a bizarre accusation, everyone's eyes can't stop rolling around Ye Shuo, and the discussion is even more stealing.
In the midst of the uproar, Xilingbei suddenly strode out of the queue, walked to a wide flat ground by the fire pool, squatted down to observe the ground carefully, and at the same time raised a palm to touch the slippery sand and stones, frowning for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
There was clearly nothing in that area, and his behavior also aroused the curiosity of many people. However, this brief attention soon faded away in his continued silence.
Frankly speaking, if it was Luo Shenxing who did this, it might be able to attract everyone's attention. Since the other party is Xilingbei, they can only attribute it to the fact that young people are greedy for performance, so they are making a fool of themselves.
Only in the previous left-behind team, when everyone saw the location where he was studying, their faces were quietly covered with a deeper layer of horror.
At this time, all his energy was concentrated on this open space, and after a long time of muttering alone, he stood up without warning, walked quickly to the side and was trembling in front of the crowd, and said coldly: "How did that person die?
The young master of the Luo family didn't even speak, he was actually here to take the lead. Not only was everyone's gaze at him a little more mocking, but even the two elders who followed him were puzzled. Their young master, isn't he usually such a showy person?
The people left behind were all in shock, it was said that they would not have bought Xilingbei's account, but somehow, at this time, his gaze at him seemed to have a kind of deterrent effect, which made them have a kind of fear in the face of the superior for no reason, and there was no second way to go except obedience......
He ...... Just now...... Just now we felt as if there was just a gust of wind blowing around us......" Everyone looked straight at him, and involuntarily followed his words to recall, "but as soon as this gust of wind passed, the gentleman ...... He died a strange death, his body decomposed into a piece of powder in an instant, and there were no bones left......"
"A gust of wind blew?" someone in the army frowned, "Is it a peerless killer?"
"No...... No, it's not the same......" The group of people pondered for a long time, and finally someone found a suitable statement: "If the peerless killing machine is extremely powerful, then this gust of wind is...... Extremely vicious. Yes, it's terrible, it's terrible......"
"Ye Shuo, you are the only one who has a grudge against him, as soon as you turn around and leave, he is dead, how can we believe that it has nothing to do with you?"
"Yes, even if we didn't see you kill with our own eyes, who knows what other evil methods you have resorted to!"
"Who doesn't know where you came to be in the Dingtian Mountain Range. If you don't have a little ability, you can't defeat the four major sects at a young age......"
Ye Shuo listened to everyone's gossip accusations, he was upset for a while, and just wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, Luo Shenxing's expression on the other side suddenly moved slightly.
"Demonic Energy Erodes ......"
"If I'm not mistaken, that person should have died from demonic energy. ”
When Xilingbei heard this, Huo Ran turned his head and stared at Ye Shuo tightly. And his expression was also unprecedentedly serious.
At first, Ye Shuo thought that Xilingbei wanted to use the question again to suppress himself, but at the moment when his eyes met, he suddenly felt a little strange.
Xilingbei's eyes now are not like staring at a person who has had a holiday with him, nor is it like facing an enemy who makes him want to fall into the well at any time, he looks like he is observing a stranger who meets for the first time. And it's a stranger he can't see.
Before Ye Shuo could sort out the complexity, Xilingbei's gaze was becoming more and more confused, as if he had seen something difficult to solve in his body. And he followed and retracted the aggressive side of a moment ago, stopped speaking, lowered his head and walked back to the group silently, the look of doubt still on his face.
"Not to mention that Senior Brother Ye was indeed with us the whole time, now this is the Six Imperial Desperate Realm, and it is the place where the magic weapon is about to be unearthed, isn't it normal for there to be any leakage of demonic energy? Maybe it can only be said that the gentleman's luck is not good. At this time, Gong Tianying also spoke.
Since even Luo Shenxing had confirmed that the cause of death was demonic qi erosion, and Xiling Bei had already stopped, the voices accusing Ye Shuo in the large army had gradually become lighter. After all, in the conventional concept, it is impossible for a human to release demonic energy, and no matter how bizarre the event is, it can only have nothing to do with him.
Although the left-behind team didn't believe in any coincidences, they couldn't come up with strong evidence, so they could only shut up stupidly, but some people still said: "Okay, the magic weapon in front of us is important, we can not trouble him for the time being, but we will definitely not treat this kind of person as a teammate again!"
A turmoil has finally ended temporarily. But this time, in the reunited team, everyone was obviously even more incompatible.
Ye Shuo walked silently at the back of the queue. At this time, even he himself couldn't help but have a trace of doubt about himself.
It's not because of those people's accusations, it's just that the whole thing seems too coincidental.
Earlier, when he was leaving, he did have the thought that the old fool would stay here forever. But that's just a thought! a thought that can happen to anyone when he's angry! In any case, he would never do anything against that person.
Just why...... Why did I wish he died, and he really died? Even the timing is weirdly consistent...... Could it be that he has some kind of mental ability to kill people that he doesn't even know about?
Thinking about it, Ye Shuo couldn't help laughing again.
How can it be so mysterious. If he really wanted whoever to die, he could want whoever died, Chu Tianyao and Luo Dixing would not be alive and well now.
So, maybe it's really just a coincidence, albeit a not-so-pleasant coincidence.
All along, the accusation of this murderer seems to have entangled him. Even when he used to be kind to others, as long as someone died next to him, the murderer's big hat would undoubtedly be buckled on his head, and he couldn't take it off.
They all say that their physique is special...... In fact, what I really have may be just a black pot physique. Ye Shuo thought sadly.
Behind him, Xilingbei's eyes kept following his back, and from time to time he would sweep over the rest of the team one by one, and there was always a kind of insoluble confusion in his expression.
"It's not him...... So, who will it be?"
All the way after that, Xilingbei always frowned, and he also turned a deaf ear to the concern of the two elders beside him. At the same time, in his lowered eyes, a strange purple light quietly crossed, but no one noticed.
……
Leaving the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, he traveled all the way to the north, and soon entered the "road of no return".
This is a valley filled with demonic energy all year round. Although due to the passage of thousands of years, the demonic qi has been diluted to the lowest level, and it will no longer cause fatal erosion to human beings, but walking in it, it is also a little difficult to breathe, and the operation of spiritual power has been delayed, so I have to slow down.
What is precipitated in the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion is an ancient atmosphere, and what reverberates on the way back is a deep desolation. It's like the end of heaven and earth, there are no people, no life, only the ubiquitous despair and dead silence, which makes people suspiciously walk on the other side of the Lethe River, that endless passage.
No one spoke all the way, until they turned another path, and a layer of mist floated in the air. The concentration of the fog continued to increase, obscuring the road ahead and enveloping the four fields, and in the blink of an eye, everyone couldn't even see the faces of the people around them.
"It's foggy...... someone sighed faintly, "How can you go like this?" Young Master Luo, do you have this map of no return?"
Luo Shenxing's footsteps still did not stop: "It is said that the path on the way back will change at any time, and every time a group of people comes in, the places they walk are different, even if there is a map, it is useless." Moreover, you can't stay here, you can't turn back, otherwise you will be lost forever in the wilderness. ”
Hearing this, everyone panicked. Regardless of the obstruction of his vision, he hurriedly quickened his pace, for fear that he would be left behind by the team with a single negligence, and he would be a lonely soul wandering on the way back for the rest of his life.
Stumbling in the thick fog, I don't know how far I walked, and suddenly, at the end of the distant fog, several human figures suddenly appeared. It's just a vague outline, but it's always nice to see a little bit of life in this dead silence.
"Is that the team that entered the point of no return before?" someone had already waved at them. In the end, one more person means more strength, maybe the other party will know the way out of the road of no return.
At this point, they had all forgotten the rule that they could not turn back here, and no one was looking into why those people were able to come face to face with them. In the thick fog, for fear that the other party would not be able to see clearly, more and more people joined the ranks of waving hands.
Soon, those vague black shadows also noticed them, and suddenly showed a sense of joy to see their companions, spread their legs, and hastened their pace.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer.
However, when those dark shadows gradually became clear in the thick fog, the joy on everyone's faces was replaced by a deep fear at the same time.
That's not a companion at all.
It was a carrion corpse that was charred and blackened, emitting a fishy smell.
The body of the rotting corpse is also surrounded by a layer of demonic energy.
It is said that there were many travelers who got lost on the way back or died by encountering demonic energy, and after death, their bodies continued to be eroded by demonic energy, and over the years, they turned into demonic corpses.
These demon corpses no longer have thoughts, only the instinct to fight. Usually they will fight each other and devour each other on the way back, and once the breath of outsiders appears here, they will quickly link up and attack.
Those who have been bitten by demon corpses will also become demon corpses and stay here.
The battle began in the shortest possible time.
The ring in Luo Shenxing's hand shot out a line of blood, easily piercing a hole in the chest of a demon corpse in front of him. But the demon corpse was completely painless, and the wound on its chest was surrounded by demonic energy, and the rotting flesh was also squirming rapidly, filling the hole that appeared a moment ago. His movements were not affected in the slightest, and he swung his hard arm and smashed it down on Luo Shenxing.
Several criss-crossing lines of blood flashed through the air.
Like the sharpest of knives, one of the demon corpse's arms was cut off on the spot.
The same scene repeats itself again. The regeneration of the severed limbs of these demon corpses does not even need to be thought, it is completely cut off and regenerated by one, and the degree is even faster, and the whole process is probably only a few blinks of an eye.
On the other side, an old man was under the siege of several demon corpses. After repeated suppression, he was also beaten ruthlessly, and with a fierce backhand, he cut off the head of a demon corpse in front of him. At the same time, he quickly turned around and swung his knife to block the attack of the remaining demon corpses.
At this time, behind him, a thick layer of demonic qi suddenly rose.
The demon corpse that had just been beheaded by him had already given birth to another head at some point.
The gloomy figure looked down on the old man, and the demonic aura overflowed, making it look extraordinarily tall, like a devil from the underworld.
The next moment, the demon corpse opened its mouth and swallowed half of the old man's head.
Blood flowed slowly under his sharp teeth. Gradually, the bright red turned into a black and purple color.
And the old man's face then turned the same black and purple.
He let out a howl that revealed two hideous fangs.
