Chapter 787: The Strange Forest
The dry branches of the trees bared their teeth and claws, stretching their bodies menacingly towards the sky.
As soon as you enter the Dead Forest, the sky seems to change, from bright to gray.
The top was foggy, as if covered with a layer of dust, Xiao Yu guessed that it might be volcanic ash from a distant volcano, and after a careful sense, he found that it had the effect of isolating perception.
The space behind him rippled slightly, and Void and Yasuke got in, looking around.
The Dead Forest is like a separate alien dimension, but it is not unconnected with the outside world, in the eyes of the outside world, it is a large dark jungle, and from the inside out, you can still see the outside scene.
Dividing the two worlds is like a huge barrier.
"The Gathering Spirit Kingdom specially issued a decree to prohibit anyone from coming to this dead forest, I heard that the youngest son of the lord of the Gathering Spirit Country was playful by nature, ran to this forest, and disappeared into the dead forest with more than 30 servants and guards, and never appeared again. ”
"So, we might see more than thirty ghosts this time?"
"What's more, the Gathering Spirit Kingdom dispatched a division of 100 people at that time, trying to level this dead forest and find the missing little prince, but the final result was that even those 100 people disappeared into nothing. ”
While thinking about it, he sighed, "The lord of the Gathering Spirit Country is grief-stricken, but the national strength is weak, and it is really not appropriate to make such a big move, so I have to endure the pain and give up looking for the whereabouts of my youngest son." ”
"One hundred and thirty revenants. Xiao Yu glanced at the pitch-black woods and said in a tone, "Maybe there are more of them." ”
Throughout the ages, there are more than a few souls trapped in this dead forest.
"Young Sect Master, what are we going to do when we come in?" Xiao Yu insisted on taking a dangerous path, and he couldn't disobey it.
"I don't know, I just think that this place may be able to improve the spatial supernatural powers. Xiao Yu glanced at the red volcano in the distance, and pointed over there, "Let's go there first, I feel that the whole forest is scorched by the volcano." ”
Yasuke glanced towards the volcano in the distance, grinned silently, and didn't speak.
The three of them began to make their way into the depths of the forest, a dead forest as its name suggests, silent and silent.
There was a thick layer of rotten leaves everywhere on the ground, and Xiao Yu and the others stepped on it, making a slight "rustling" sound.
A pale blue shadow flashed in front of him, a sharp figure, and countless tentacles rippled in midair.
"Floating whales!" cried the void.
The floating whale that appeared out of nowhere flashed, and in the blink of an eye, it drew a pale blue trajectory in mid-air and glided far away.
"Do you want to chase it?" asked Yasuke.
Xiao Yu shook his head, he had personally experienced the speed of floating whales, this kind of monster had the ability to shuttle in space, even if it was his free swimming method, it was a little difficult to catch up.
"It's hard to chase, wait until you meet something else, and then find a way. ”
In the vast dead forest, there is never only one floating whale.
As the three of them continued to go deeper, the sky above became more and more gray, and the whole forest became more and more secluded and secluded.
Those strange black trees, like ghosts with teeth and claws, seemed to wake up at any time and tore Xiao Yu and them to pieces.
But how many winds and waves Xiao Yu has seen, this kind of gloomy environment doesn't need to care about him at all.
To his slight surprise, Yasuke, who was quite young, did not show the slightest panic, and he walked in the deep and gloomy forest with the bluestone on his back, his expression calm, as if
Take a leisurely stroll.
But it's also relieved to think about it, this little Taoist boy is obviously not an ordinary person, he was able to kill out of Liuxia City with the burly dog like a bear, and take Lin Meng's head, which is enough to prove that Yasuke is not as simple as he seems.
Thinking about it for some reason, Xiao Yu's heart once again flashed with a trace of murderous intent towards this person.
Yasuke, who was walking in front, seemed to have sensed something, sighed helplessly, and turned his head to Xiao Yu with an innocent expression.
"Young Sect Master, if you want to kill or chop, why don't you have a good time? Staring at me like this at every turn, it's very difficult for me to do it......"
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his killing intent did not decrease at all.
As long as there is a little killing intent in his Dao heart, this Dao boy can immediately perceive it clearly.
"What a lot of words!"
Void jumped out and gave Yasuke a slap on the head, and Xiao Daotong flattened his mouth aggrievedly, turned around and continued to move forward.
Looking at the smiling hypocrisy, Xiao Yu reluctantly pressed the killing intent in his heart, and there was no sadness or joy on his face.
Although this pair of masters and apprentices was a little strange, they never harmed him.
Maybe he's thinking too much. He thought to himself.
"No, you should kill them all, just in case. But the instinct in Linglong Dao's heart spit out a cold word.
Xiao Yu turned a deaf ear to it.
After about a quarter of an hour of progress, the monotonous scene of dead wood in the dead forest finally changed.
In front of several people, a swamp appeared.
"Young Sect Master, be careful, any special scene that appears in the Dead Silent Forest may be a projection of another space!"
Void looked solemn and stared at the swamp in front of him, "There may be a spatial rift hidden in this, if we accidentally fall into it, we will all be torn to pieces by the raging chaotic energy." ”
"Is there any way to judge?" Xiao Yu asked, and several disciples of the Qiankun Sect dared to go into the Dead Silence Forest to look for floating whales, thinking that they had something to rely on.
This dependence, of course, comes from nothingness.
I saw that the void stroked his beard and smiled, "The Qiankun Sect naturally has a way to identify this kind of void crack, but since there is a young sect master here, I won't take it out and be embarrassed." ”
When Xiao Yu heard this, his heart moved, and he sensed the blue fire in his body.
At this moment, the blue flame burned silently, without the slightest change.
"The young sect master has a blue fire, and his sensitivity to spatial energy is beyond ordinary people, if the blue fire has not changed, it means that there is no spatial crack here. ”
Xiao Yu nodded, and sensed the blue fire in his body for a while, the latter always burned peacefully and did not make waves.
"It's good that nothing changes, alas...... Poor Dao is old, and he will inevitably be timid in his actions, and he hopes that the young sect master will not be surprised. He smiled nothingly.
"To put it bluntly, it's not that I'm afraid of death. Yasuke muttered quietly.
Exactly like the tone of the entire forest, the swamp in front of the three of them was unusually dead, and the depths were also dry and twisted trees, and there were no creatures in sight, not even floating whales.
Ponds, mires, ...... There was silence, as if it were a dead place.
Beyond the Dead Forest was a lush mountain forest, full of wild beasts, but inside the Dead Forest was a dead silence, and now there was this gloomy swamp, which made it even more sinister.
"Get in. ”
Xiao Yu took the lead and stepped into the swamp.
Sighing with a lamentation, Yasuke followed behind Xiao Yu with a face full of indifference.
Walking into the swamp, the air is getting more and more humid, and the mud is in the swamp
Some smells come into the nose and make people really uncomfortable.
Xiao Chen frowned, not because of the smell here, but because he felt that the aura here was a little unusual.
The yin qi here is extraordinarily heavy, and there is a faint aura of forest.
After walking in the swamp for a long time, there was still not a single creature to be found, except for the dark and crooked trees.
However, a few people saw a lot of white bones in the mud and puddles, some of them were half-sunk in the mud, and some were exposed to the surface, which looked a little terrible in the dim forest.
It was the first time they had seen the bones of a creature since they stepped into the Dead Forest.
Among them, there are many skeletons of various brute beasts, ranging from one or two meters to more than ten meters in size, and to the surprise of several people, they also saw a lot of human bones!
Judging from the color and bone quality of those human bones, I am afraid that they are at least a few decades old.
He pinched his fingers and calculated, and gasped: "Look at the time, it just coincides with the day when the little prince of the Gathering Spirit Kingdom disappeared!"
If the bones of these human beings are the little prince and others who disappeared back then, then what kind of danger did they encounter in this gloomy swamp that led to the annihilation of the entire army?
Yasuke, who was carrying the bluestone on his back, poked out a small head and scanned back and forth among the skeletons, as if looking for something.
"What are you doing?" asked Void curiously.
"If it is a relative of the emperor, I must leave some treasures, rather than leaving it in this dark place to cover the dust, it is better for me to take it out and shine. ”
"You can also grab the dead man's things!" glared at the void, "Add me a ......"
After saying that, he also widened his eyes, sweeping back and forth in the skeleton with hope, not at all like a strong man of the martial arts Nine Heavens.
"It's not in vain, if you stay here for decades, even if you have something, you will be corroded by the rotting swamp. Xiao Yu said expressionlessly.
The two rich slaves, one big and one small, still did not give up, and gouged out a few more eyes, but found nothing, so they gave up.
The sky above was getting darker and darker, the whole jungle was completely darkened, and the swamp was even more gloomy, and strange trees stood like tombstones in this dead swamp.
"Click!"
The sound of bone cracking in the silence sounded suddenly, making this swamp of death instantly seem incomparably calm!
The three of them looked back sharply, but found nothing.
The bones in the swamp didn't move, maybe they happened to be weathered and shattered......
He swallowed his saliva, gently pulled Ramisuke's sleeve, and whispered, "Did you hear it, there was movement......
"I thought it was a fart from my master. Yasuke opened his eyes wide, looked carefully behind him, and pursed the corners of his mouth, "I think let's go quickly, even if these bones live, thin arms and thin legs can't outrun us." ”
Little Daotong's words should have been heard as a joke, but in such a deep and gloomy environment, the joke is very likely to come true.
Xiao Yu and Xuyi glanced at each other, no longer hesitated, and continued to move forward.
In the gray sky above, there seemed to be a hazy moon rising, was it already night? But a few people entered the dead forest, and they clearly felt that it had only been long.
In this silent dead land, the moonlight was so white that it was as frightening as death.
At the same time, Xiao Yu felt a trace of danger, without any delay, he grabbed the collar of the little Taoist boy next to him, and wanted to rush forward!
But he lifted it with his right hand.
Misuke didn't move.
