"Shhh...... Huh?"

At the outskirts of the Dark Forest, a purple figure who had been lying next to a dead tree for an unknown amount of time finally moved slowly with a slightly lazy murmur, and the resentful spirit that had been quietly and obediently guarding him not far away, seeing that he seemed to be about to wake up, quickly hid his figure, just hiding in the darkness not far away, quietly watching and guarding him.

"Strange?"

"I... Where is this?"

The purple figure leaning against the dead tree was none other than Ying Xuan, who was struggling to sit up, staring at everything in front of him in a trance.

"I remember ......"

Shadow Xuan clearly remembered that he had been led into the depths of the Dark Forest by the resentful spirit not long ago, and then he was pulled into the illusion by it.

In the end, he was confused by the illusion created by the other party and pierced his heart, and what happened in the next time, he couldn't remember it at all for some reason.

It seems that his consciousness was also cut off by an extremely powerful force for some reason during that period of time, so he still looks dazed now.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he immediately took out the bounty mission card in the leather pouch on his waist, and on the map screen in front of him from the display screen that he pulled out, he was now in the outermost part of the Dark Forest.

"So ......"

"How the hell did I get out alive?"

In this regard, Ying Xuan became more and more puzzled.

He didn't know that he was about to die in the illusion planted by the evil spirit, but he suddenly and inexplicably escaped from the depths of the Dark Forest alive, and escaped safely to the outermost part of the forest.

"I really don't understand. ”

"I fell into a dead end with no way to survive, but I was always lucky to get an inexplicable redemption. ”

"It's nice to always get inexplicable help, but I always feel like I'm going to pay it back......"

"I can only pray that I can pay it back in the future..."

Thinking of this, Ying Xuan couldn't help but pull a trace of weird arc at the corner of his mouth that even he didn't notice at all.

In fact, since a long time ago, Ying Xuan felt as if there was a pair of eyes around him watching him closely.

Perhaps it should be said that it was the first time he discovered and tried to break into the strange shackles in his mind that sealed some of his important memories, and he felt that there seemed to be some unknowable mysterious existence in the underworld, which had been silently surrounding him.

Ying Xuan's extremely subtle feeling became even more intense after he woke up from the amethyst jade coffin in the underground palace at the top of the Refining Sacrifice Mountain for no apparent reason.

It seemed that when he opened his eyes from the amethyst jade coffin on the altar of the underground palace, the mysterious existence that had been hidden in him also awakened at the same time, and his gaze was locked on him all the time.

And all the way down from the top of the Refining Sacrifice Mountain, Ying Xuan had clearly felt many times that countless dangers around him were slowly approaching, but for some reason, those potentially huge dangers were just lingering around him, but nothing dared to approach him at all, not even daring to boldly tempt.

It really seems to be extremely afraid of something on Ying Xuan's body.

After arriving in Lanyue City, when he was stabbed into the air by Yifa with a golden spear in the circular execution ground, the inexplicable powerful force that surged all over his body in time helped him resist the burning of the golden flames released by the spear at the last moment, and there should be someone secretly helping him.

"Forget it... There are some things that you can understand without thinking about it. ”

Ying Xuan, who thought about it for a while, was not ready to continue to waste his scheming on this matter, he was really too weak now, even if he could really find out a little bit of the truth behind the scenes, what could he do?

Therefore, the first task is to become stronger quickly, which is also the only condition for him to survive in this endangered world eroded by darkness in the future.

Moreover, he must quickly find a way to leave this ghost world and return to the Lyxi Continent!

After Ying Xuan was able to perform Shadow Trace Momentary Steps and perceive the glaive and abyss stored in the inner space of the purple jade pendant, it was already clear that whether it was the world on the other side of the Lai Xi Continent that he was staying in before, or the extremely strange and strange new world that he suddenly came to now, it was not a dream, but a real world.

Since he can come to this strange world, no matter how he came here, there should at least be some way to go back.

Judging from the current special situation, perhaps... There may be many other worlds that you can go to.

"Once you've completed your reconnaissance mission, let's get out of here. ”

"It seems that even if I awaken the spiritual energy, but I still don't know how to use the spiritual power at all, I am completely self-defeating here!"

"I wonder if the composition and use of this spiritual power will be similar to the mysterious power of the world over there?"

While walking carefully, Ying Xuan muttered inexplicably.

In fact, strictly speaking, the D-level reconnaissance mission that Ying Xuan received was not too difficult, and there was no need to drill into the depths of the Dark Forest, just take the bounty task card in his hand and go around the outermost part of the Dark Forest.

Therefore, if it weren't for the fact that Shadow Xuan was confused by the resentful spirit and led into the depths of the Dark Forest, and then forcibly pulled into the illusion by it, Shadow Xuan would have easily completed the mission and returned.

It can be regarded as Ying Xuan's bad luck, other spiritual cultivators with similar spiritual power levels, once they connect more than a dozen bounty tasks, it may be difficult to encounter any high-level fierce beast trolls during the mission, let alone a middle-level resentful spirit whose wisdom is no longer below that of humans.

If it weren't for the fact that their physique had a special attraction to those fierce beasts, trolls, and resentful spirits, with their extremely thin low-level spiritual power fluctuations at this stage, it would be difficult to make those big guys interested, after all, even if they worked hard to capture and eat, they wouldn't be able to absorb much energy.

As soon as Ying Xuan left the city, he encountered a one-horned monitor lizard that had just been promoted to the middle level, and then he was hooked into the depths of the Dark Forest by a resentful spirit with the same intermediate strength, and was forcibly pulled into the illusion.

However, who knows if he encounters this kind of thing again next time, and whether he will be able to avoid it with such good luck as these times?

After all, he didn't understand at all at this time, Ying Xuan didn't think that the mysterious existence who secretly helped him several times would always be so tireless, and he said that he was not ready to test his poor life with any more ups and downs.

Although his chest and heart seemed to have been pierced countless times by various sharp weapons, and he seemed to be completely used to it, he still felt that it was better to suffer less from this kind of injury.

"It's... It hurts..."

Ying Xuan, who was barely standing up with the dead tree on the side, couldn't help but raise his hand to uncover the clothes at the wound on his chest, and saw that there was indeed a bloody wound at the mouth of his heart.

The wound was very deep, and although the blood had already coagulated, Ying Xuan could still clearly feel a sharp pain when he moved slightly.

He could even tell from the neatly turned flesh at the edge of the wound that it must have been brutally pierced and twisted by some extremely sharp weapon not long ago.

"If the Great Propagation and Reproduction can function normally, maybe the recovery from this injury will only take a moment to fully recover..."

"I wonder if my lost heart, the Great Reproduction and Life Determination that has been cultivated to the ultimate achievement, can be repaired like this?"

Fortunately, Ying Xuan already had no heart, otherwise with the number of times his heart was frequently stabbed violently, he estimated that it would be really difficult for him to bear the painful taste of being twisted one after another.

As soon as he thought of the set of Xuanzhu Martial Arts, which could be called the Restoration Divine Technique, Ying Xuan's expression was extremely nostalgic, after all, in that world before, he relied on the Great Evolution and Prosperity Determination in a series of battles.

Although it is currently possible to use Trace Instantaneous Step normally, the Great Yan Multiplication Decision and Instant Slash Decision, which have been comprehended and learned through the Moonlit Night Divine Book and the Mysterious Treasure Book, still haven't been able to sense the slightest point.

Perhaps it was because Ying Xuan had not had a metaphysical sense with the two treasures that had originally been stored in his Xuan Sea until now, which caused him to be unable to use the Xuan Determination Technique that he had already comprehended and learned from it.

After all, Shadow Trace is different, and this unique body technique seems to have been mastered by Ying Xuan since he first awakened in the Lai Xi Continent.

Originally, it was a very simple and easy reconnaissance mission, but Ying Xuan could be said to have completed it extremely difficult, and seeing that he had finally completed the bounty task, he was also ready to leave this dangerous ghost place quickly.

After all, he was still on the edge of the Dark Forest, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be lured back to the forest again by something strange like a resentful spirit.

Shadow Xuan finally glanced back at the dark forest behind him that was floating with layers of black smoke at some point, and its inexplicable atmosphere that was completely silent to the point of being extremely weird and terrifying, and finally he pulled up his hood, pulled out the short blade on his waist, and limped towards the direction of Lanyue City in the distance according to the direction of the bounty mission card display in his hand......

As Ying Xuan's figure became farther and farther away from the Dark Forest, the resentful spirit that had been hidden not far away also reappeared, and his dark blue eyes radiated brilliance, looking inexplicably watching Ying Xuan's distant and gradually blurred figure.

For a while, he looked back at the Dark Forest behind him, and finally seemed to have gone through a strong psychological struggle, his figure flashed quickly, and he still chased after Ying Xuan, whose figure was about to disappear in the distance......

I don't know if it was God's special favor for Ying Xuan, or a little guilt for letting Ying Xuan suffer from the snow disaster one after another, Ying Xuan limped back to Lanyue City on the way to surprisingly not encounter the slightest danger.

This also made Ying Xuan, who was holding the knife tightly along the way, couldn't help but relax a little, after all, he had already begun to think that the boring god Lord was deliberately playing with him in secret, using his life to kill time?

I have witnessed Ying Xuan safely and smoothly enter Lanyue City, and secretly follow the resentful spirits behind Ying Xuan along the way, so I breathed a sigh of relief, and finally slowly dissipated and retreated.

Along the way, in fact, Ying Xuan's journey should not have been too smooth, and there were many low-level beasts or other miscellaneous ghosts who wanted to secretly attack Ying Xuan.

After all, although the level of Shadow Xuan's spiritual power is very low, their level is also not very high, and Shadow Xuan is already a very tempting piece of fat for them, and besides, he is still limping, and it seems that he has no power to parry.

Therefore, the resentful spirit secretly cleaned up a lot of imps and monsters with that kind of mind along the way, and it can be said that he is very loyal and responsible.

When the spiritual cultivator city guards at the gate of Lanyue City saw Ying Xuan again, they didn't seem to think that they could get any oil and water from Ying Xuan, who was limping and had a large amount of blood stained on his chest at this time, so he didn't look at Ying Xuan at all, and he was not ready to waste precious time, but was busy stopping other mercenary rangers who had entered the city and collecting the entrance fee.

When Shadow Xuan left the city to go to the Dark Forest for a reconnaissance mission, it was already morning, after all, the red aurora that symbolized the beginning of a new day had just appeared, and now Shadow Xuan limped back to Lanyue City, and it was almost evening.

There were already quite a few mercenary groups and ranger groups that also left the city after accepting the bounty mission in the morning, and they returned to Lanyue City one after another in groups.

Some of them hooked their shoulders and backs, talked and laughed, looked at the waist and carried on their shoulders, bulging their pockets, and the harvest of this day was obviously extraordinary.

And some of them were holding the broken weapons, supporting each other, trembling and hanging their heads slowly towards Lanyue City, at first glance, they had suffered heavy losses, and perhaps they didn't even have the slightest gain.

This phenomenon has long been common for the spiritual cultivator guards of Lanyue City, and they are also very aware that the waves of mercenary rangers who go out of the city every day may have different expressions before going out, but returning to Lanyue City is nothing more than these two expressions.

Otherwise, the day was quite fruitful, and the face was full of incomparable joy like a New Year's holiday.

Otherwise, not only did they not have the slightest gain on this day, but they might even go out for ten people, and they couldn't say if they came back for one or a half, these mercenaries or rangers who were lucky enough to pick up a crippled life would naturally show an extremely sad face like a dead mother.

These expressions and emotions, no matter what kind of situation they encounter, it seems impossible to completely deliberately hide them without letting people notice the slightest, and these old fritters who have been in the city guards for a long time can naturally make money and suck blood accurately according to all the subtle expressions on the faces of the people entering the city.

Ying Xuan, who entered the city, naturally also gave a rough idea of the performance of those mercenary rangers with different expressions and various spiritual cultivators who went out, and he could completely understand it after experiencing a lot.

This kind of ghost world, which is almost completely eroded by darkness, if you can really feel something that makes you extremely happy and excited, who can easily hide it?

After all, if you don't take advantage of the heartfelt joy to laugh today, it is completely unknown whether you will have the opportunity to open your eyes and look at the red aurora in the sky tomorrow.
