"Lao Wang, these things don't need to be introduced, let's talk about what we need to pay attention to in the ruins. ”

Since Wanning's inn was located at the entrance town of the Eastern Forest, the three of them quickly entered the forest. The vegetation area of the Toshi Forest is huge, and there are shade shrubs everywhere, so the originally hot and dry air becomes cooler.

"There are two ways to enter the Dark Ruins, the first is the place where I am leading you now, although it is some distance from the center of the ruins, but it is not in the territory of the Storm Howling Thunder Beast, the security is the highest, but you need to explore it slowly; Lao Wang said.

"Everybody likes to explore the center of the ruins because there's more Yin Wood spawned there. Mannings asked.

"Yes, for so many years, even if there is a Yin Wood on the periphery, it has been picked and wiped out, and now if you want to obtain another Yin Wood again, you can only venture into the center of the ruins. Originally, there was only one passage in the dark ruins, but there were too many spiritual practices that couldn't stand the shortcut, isn't there a saying that there are more people walking, and it becomes the road, and the shortcut to the center is known by more and more people, and it has gradually become the second channel. ”

Lao Wang took out a firewood knife, cut down a vine bush blocking the way, and replied.

"It's nothing else, after all, the dark ruins have been explored for so many years and haven't figured it out, so naturally it has its terrible features, except for the zombies and ghosts that often haunt, and even the spirit beasts that have broken in by mistake, anyway, there are many situations, and generally speaking, you can only be careful. ”

The swarthy man handed Wanning two sets of canvas raincoats to the ghost and put them on his body, because the road he was about to enter was overgrown with bushes and could easily puncture his skin. Of course, the two of them declined Lao Wang's kindness, after all, they were spiritual and had spiritual power to protect their bodies, which could not cause any obstacles.

Half an hour passed, and a white mist began to emerge from the originally cool and clean forest, and Wan Ning took a light breath and felt that something was wrong.

"It's a miasma..."

"Yes, it is indeed a miasma, it comes from the dark ruins, and the presence of this smoke means that we are not far from our destination, and we can reach the dark ruins in less than a quarter of an hour by following this small stream at our feet. However, the miasma here is less toxic, you two are spiritual cultivators, you can use spiritual power to protect your body, I have a heart purifying medicine, and I can pass through unharmed. ”

Lao Wang took a taste of green medicine powder and replied, Wan Ning and the ghost spirit used their spiritual power to easily resist the miasma toxicity.

"But I'm always not so much talking about it as miasma.... It's more like corpse gas..."

After a few people walked for a while, the ghost with a serious expression stopped, he sniffed his nose, and said a little gloomy.

"No, how could it be corpse gas. ”

Lao Wang said with some surprise.

"What do you think? ”

Wan Ning asked seriously, he knew that ghosts were masters of playing with corpses, and it was impossible to joke and amuse them at this juncture.

"In this fog, the cold is mixed with corpse qi, unlike ordinary miasma, it stands to reason that as long as it is not controlled by humans, the corpse qi should not be too far away from the corpse. It's a pity that I'm too far from the dark ruins, and if I get closer to the source of the breath, I should be able to find out what this is, but one thing is for sure, there is danger ahead. In this way, Brother Wang, you go back first, I can't let you take any more risks. ”

The ghost spirit took out three spirit stones from the storage ring, handed them to Lao Wang, and then said to him.

"I've been here as a guide for many years, and it's going to be fine, and I'm just sending you to the ruins gate, it's okay. ”

Lao Wang waved his hand honestly, he thought that if he did not complete the task, he could not accept the payment.

"Brother Wang, don't hide it, my cousin's intuition is very accurate, although good words don't work, but bad words are always accurate fulfillment, you listen to him, accept the honorarium and leave here quickly, anyway, you also said, follow the stream and reach the ruins, you can be considered to have completed the task, aren't you." ”

Wan Ning patted Lao Wang on the shoulder and said sincerely.

"Well... Well, you two be careful, this ruin is very weird, and safety is paramount when it comes to danger. ”

This kind of simple and honest person believes in Wanning's pretext the most, he rolled his eyes, rubbed his hands, accepted the remuneration with some guilt, repeated a few words, and then eagerly walked back on the way.

"Okay, Brother Wang is gone, don't hide anything you have to say. ”

Seeing Lao Wang walking away, Wan Ning turned his head and said to the ghost.

"How do you know I have something else to say. ”

The ghost was a little surprised.

"Cut, your little expression has long been exposed, and we have been under the same roof for a short time, and we still have the ability to observe words and colors. ”

Wan Ning said lazily with his head in his hands.

"Indeed, there are some things that are not easy to say in front of outsiders, and I smell the smell of the owner of the corpse qi on this corpse qi mixed with the miasma of the forest. ”

The spiritual power in the ghost's hand surged, and he used a secret technique, and from the gray mist, he condensed a faint black gas as thin as death.

"What's that, corpse master?"

Wan Ning didn't know anything about these things, but he also knew from the frowning brows of the ghosts that things were indeed a bit troublesome now.

"It's complicated to explain, I'll tell you the results directly, first, this is not a simple miasma, it contains corpse qi, which is also what I mentioned before, and second, this is not an ownerless corpse qi, just like the author is written on the scroll, and they also have the breath of the master on their bodies. ”

"If you feel it carefully, the temperature is a few degrees lower than it was in the woods before, this cold feeling is the unique brand that belongs to the owner of the corpse qi. And these corpse qi are like his outstretched tentacles, the place where the corpse qi spreads, is the range he can sense, but fortunately, this corpse qi is still a little thin, through this way, the master can only vaguely sense where there will be people at most. ”

The ghost spirit opened his right hand, dispersed the pure corpse qi that was extracted by the spiritual power, and said.

"You mean to say that the dark ruins are inhabited by corpses or other powerful creatures?"

Wan Ning interjected.

"Yes, although the corpse qi is not rich, but its radiation range is so wide, it seems that the cultivation is at least the Ning Yuan realm, if I am not good at the corpse path, I will not find the weirdness in it, this dark ruin, there is a big problem. ”

The ghost spirit took a deep breath, there was almost no corpse cultivation in the territory of Zhao Kingdom, so almost no one was aware of this problem for thousands of years.

"It seems that this ruin is its hunting ground, and many of the explorers who have disappeared inexplicably in it have died in the mouth of that monster, and after so many years, God knows how terrible its realm has climbed now. ”

Wan Ning smacked his lips and sighed.

"That's okay, I inferred from the intensity of the corpse qi that this guy's cultivation does not exceed the intermediate condensation realm, even if we can't beat it, we can run away. The trouble is that he's in the dark, and it's an unfair game. ”

The ghost replied in the affirmative.

"It's only this realm, it's swallowed so many people over the years, where is the essence of the Yuan Shen used?"

Wanning shook his head, rejecting the ghost's speculation.

"Although my cultivation is not high, my academic attainments are comparable to those of the Void Yuan Realm Corpse Cultivator, you can't criticize me for professional knowledge. ”

The spirits were clearly unconvinced.

"Anyway, that thing is not something we can deal with now, let's retreat quickly, it's still too late to escape. ”

However, at this time, Wan Ning was ready to go home, according to what he said before, as long as there was danger, he must return immediately, he did not want to risk his life and the life of the ghosts.

"You, I've said that his cultivation is not high, why don't you listen!"

The ghost spirit gritted his teeth and said, a light fist hit Wan Ning's shoulder, not painful or itchy.

"Anyway, leave immediately, you promise to listen to me at the time... Wait, someone's coming, get down!"

Wan Ning didn't eat it, he pulled up the ghost and wanted to go back. The two of them didn't take a few steps, but suddenly they heard sparse footsteps and loud conversations on the way they came. Wan Ning immediately hid in a small bush behind the banyan tree, and the small ghost simply climbed up the tree.

"I said, why did Elder Qi let us come to such a remote place to do business. ”

A group of centaurs slowly walked from the other side of the forest, and a big fat man in the lead asked the tall man beside him.

"Don't worry so much, just do what it means. ”

The tall man's expression was indifferent, he glanced at the big fat man, and said with a little disgust, it seems that the relationship between the two is not very good.

"Fortunately, I didn't meet anyone all the way today, but I just met an old guy, and now a mortal who has not cultivated still dares to come to the dark ruins to adventure, it's really arrogant. ”

The big fat man was coarse, and he didn't realize that the colleagues around him were dissatisfied with him, and continued to talk to himself.

"That's why he's coming through this passage, and if he really has the ability to practice spiritually, he can go straight through the territory of the Storm Howling Thunder Beast. ”

The tall man said disdainfully.

A group of people got closer and closer, and Wan Ning saw clearly that the two people who were the leaders were all in the realm of the Ning Yuan Realm, and the entourage behind them turned out to be all Ning Yuan Realm, in the mysterious dark ruins, so many powerful spiritual cultivators suddenly appeared, which made Wan Ning's vigilance suddenly rise, and what made him care more was what the origin of these people was.

"Brother Sun, is it really okay to let that Uncle Wang go, we are carrying out a secret mission of the sect,"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the crowd, Wan Ning was stunned, moved his eyes to the back of the team, and saw an extremely familiar figure.

It turned out to be Zhang Jiaojiao of the Divine Sword Sect!
