Section 45 Ghosts
This was the first time Shen Tong had stepped into the jungle of the Storm Mountain Range in so many days. Originally, he didn't have such a plan and plan, if he could find out about the things in the underworld from the books, maybe he would choose another way to realize his inner thoughts. However, after all his efforts were useless, there were only two paths left in front of him, either to return to the family library in five years to check it out, or to venture into the depths of the Storm Mountain Range to personally examine the spatial rifts that could lead to the underworld, and see if he could find a way to the underworld from there.
The darkness in the jungle could not affect Shen Tong's sight.
In the jungle of vines and dense trees, the points of light floating in the void were extraordinarily bright, and as far as Shen Tong's line of sight, a rare fresh and beautiful scenery appeared in front of his eyes.
Huge trees that can only be hugged by a few people stand in all directions, with a canopy like an umbrella, stretching into groups, and their lush branches and leaves directly block the sky tightly, and even the starry sky cannot be seen. Shen Tong stood here, looking around, and felt as small as an ant, and the vitality of all things in the spiritual world was strong, which was also evident. Perhaps because it is relatively close to Luofeng Town, there are more people coming and going, so there are not many thorns and weeds on the ground, and even a few artificially stepped out roads can be vaguely seen, and it is very convenient to walk.
As time passed, the night became deeper and deeper, and although the light in the dense forest did not change strongly, there began to be a burst of insect chirping from time to time in all directions, intertwined into a gorgeous music, which made people feel slightly nervous, and also calmed down unconsciously. Walking in such a lonely woods, smelling the fragrance of plants, watching the blooming of wildflowers, and listening to the music of insects, it is indeed a pleasant and extraordinary thing.
"Roar" Just when Shen Tong sighed at the beauty of nature, the roar of an unknown beast in the distance made him startled and involuntarily stopped.
Shen Tong's expression immediately became a little solemn, the Storm Mountain Range in front of him was unusual, except for those ghost things that crossed over from the spatial cracks, the fierce beasts that grew in the deep mountains themselves were also quite attacking, and it was even rumored that even the masters of the tenth layer of the Qi cultivation period had been attacked by wild beasts and fell, which was really a bit terrifying. Shen Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought that he was only a sixth-level cultivator in the Qi cultivation period at this moment.
In a world like the spirit world, his cultivation was so low that he didn't even dare to go to the wild, which really made him feel emotional.
However, such a threat did not stop Shen Tong there, but after a pause, he rechecked the map and went deeper into the mountain range. However, compared to before, Shen Tong no longer had the heart to appreciate the beauty of nature, but put all his attention on the four places, carefully observing the wind and grass in the four places from time to time, and observing the clues in the corners.
I don't know if it's because this place is too close to Luofeng Town, or because Shen Tong's luck is not bad, he walked in the dense forest for a few days like this, and it was quite peaceful along the way, and he didn't encounter any danger. However, as we walked deeper into the mountains, a dark fog began to appear in the air, and it continued to dissolve with the light points in all directions, making the atmosphere look a little solemn.
When Shen Tong was in the secret room, he had already observed such a situation, and knew that this was the result of the fusion of Yin Qi and Spiritual Qi. Obviously, as he continued to go deeper, he was already getting closer and closer to the place where the spatial crack appeared, which caused the appearance of Huangquan Spiritual Qi from time to time in all directions, eroding the spiritual energy in the void. This discovery made Shen Tong both surprised and delighted, and at the same time couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, as he deepened, the danger was also increasing, if he encountered those profound cultivators or fierce beasts hidden in the shadows, I don't know if he could escape! With his current cultivation, there is really not much difference from an ordinary person, except for seeing far and hearing clearly, there seems to be no other gap.
But at this point, such worries don't seem to make sense! And maybe after death, the soul body will be able to go to the underworld to meet Sakurako, and the previous worry is just a fear of the unknown?
Thinking like this, Shen Tong continued to bury his head in the mountains in front of him and rushed deeper, he must have explored the situation of the spatial crack with his own eyes, so that he could be willing.
One night a few days later, Shen Tong hid behind a rock, cautiously looking at an open area in the distance ahead.
There is a pile of rubble, between which the grass grows, but there are no trees, which is very special in the majestic mountains and green forests. This rare situation also made it rare for Shen Tong to see the moonlight in the sky and the starlight in the deep night sky. However, at this time, Shen Tong really didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery of those moonlit nights, and all his thoughts were attracted by the situation in the open area of the gravel pile.
I saw that under the silver glow of the moonlight, a fierce battle was taking place in front of me, and it was precisely because he heard the sound here from a distance that Shen Tong changed the direction of travel and rushed here quickly, and he happened to see a fierce battle scene.
I saw that the empty pile of rubble was flickering at this time, and a figure was constantly jumping forward and backward, and if you looked closely, there was a humanoid mist beside the figure that was constantly rushing towards the figure. The mist-like black shadow, stretched like an arrow for a while, unfolded like a cloud for a while, was trying to crash into the figure in all sorts of weird ways.
And every time the black mist was about to pounce on that person, he saw a layer of golden light appear in front of that person, as if putting a layer of armor on his body, forcibly blocking the impact of the black mist.
However, after receiving this impact, that layer of armor seemed to have consumed all its energy, and in the blink of an eye, it collapsed. The black mist rebounded, ready to attack again, at this time, the two people on the side had a flash of light in their hands, a fireball and a wave of water appeared from the void, and in a flash, they rushed to the black shadow, and hit the black shadow without hesitation, and the black shadow shook for a while, as if it was a little unable to withstand such a fierce blow.
Shen Tong was taken aback by what he saw, when he was in his courtyard earlier, Li Fu had used a spell attack from behind him. But he didn't turn his head to look at it at the time, he just felt the astonishing heat and the blazing breath in his back. Now for the first time, he saw someone casting a spell out of thin air, which suddenly opened his eyes, and he couldn't help but become more and more curious about this strange world.
This is not a trick of breathing fire in the mouth and smashing a boulder in the chest when you were in the human world, this is a real spell!
The golden light mask, the crimson fireball, and the rolling waves that appeared out of thin air, and the powerful impact that burst out in an instant, even if Shen Tong was far away, he could feel the terrifying power contained in it. Looking at it carefully, Shen Tong couldn't help but feel that the three people in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, and after a closer look, Shen Tong was moved in his heart. The three people in front, two men and one woman, dressed in silver-white robes with gold trim, were not the three people who had just left the city and would overtake the vehicle he was riding in and drive away?
What a coincidence that they actually got here!
However, Shen Tong immediately thought of their identity as Heavenly Star Valley cultivators, and thought of what they knew in Luofeng Town. It was clear in his heart that these three people had come together after receiving the task in the Heavenly Star Valley. It's just that I never thought that life encounters would be so confusing, and I actually met it again in such a barren mountain and wild place, such a coincidence.
That misty black shadow is a ghost?
Shen Tong settled down, and couldn't help but look there again, only to see a shaking black shadow that had been hit by fireballs and waves, and it didn't seem to have suffered any serious damage, and after a while, he suddenly rushed towards the young man on the side, and the black mist suddenly elongated, like a sharp arrow, and the speed was extremely fast, and almost instantly it had rushed to the man's body.
At such a dangerous moment, the young man snorted coldly, pinched the trick in his hand, and a layer of golden light surged up on his body.
With a muffled sound, the golden light and the black mist trembled at the same time, the golden light dissipated again, and the attack of the black mist was once again in vain. At this moment, the fireball and waves hit the black mist accurately from the flank again, and the flames and sea explosions dispersed, allowing the black mist to widen the distance between it and the youth for a while, but in the blink of an eye, the black mist gathered together again, except for the body seemed to be thinner, there seemed to be nothing abnormal, and he was ready to attack again.
The young man who had been repeatedly shocked seemed to be furious by a series of attacks, and this time before the black shadow rushed up, there was a roar of rage, and then he saw the magic in his hand changed, and the words in his mouth began to rise.
A ball of golden light appeared in front of him, and immediately as he recited the trick faster, the golden light also stretched longer and longer, and gradually became the shape of a sharp sword, the golden light shone, looking extremely sharp. However, at this time, the black mist had regained its shape and rushed towards the young man again. It's just that at this moment, although the golden light in front of the young man has become a sword shape, it is obviously not fully formed, and it seems that there is still a little time before it can be displayed.
It's just that the black mist no longer gives him time, and in vain it turns into a sharp arrow again, as if it will shoot him through the spot in the next moment.
"Senior Brother Qiu, get out of the way!" Seeing this scene, another young man on the side suddenly changed his face and exclaimed loudly, obviously seeing the dangerous situation in front of him, but he could only do it in a hurry and could not do anything.
