Chapter 87: Yin Soul Wood?
"Is it her...?"
Wan Ning was shocked and whispered, he suddenly remembered that he had met Zhang Jiaojiao by chance in the Mujiang Mansion before, she said that she had a mission, and she thought it was just an excuse, but looking at the current situation, the other party was indeed carrying out a confidential mission.
Now that Zhang Jiaojiao's identity has been determined, it is obvious that the others are also disciples of the Divine Sword Sect. Wherever such a group of advanced cultivators went, the ground would tremble, plus they were all dressed in civilian clothes, not wearing Divine Sword Sect clothes, and acting cautiously, they should have something extremely important.
"It's okay, it's just an ordinary mortal, what kind of wind and waves can be stirred, of course, if you meet a spiritual cultivator on the road, you can kill it directly. “
The big fat man turned around and smiled, and said honestly, but the words that came out of his mouth made Wanning Ghost Soul feel cold.
"Okay, with you and Brother Wu leading the way, I'm relieved, but what mission we people are going to perform, can't you reveal it to me now. “
The feminine man next to Zhang Jiaojiao asked out loud, that person Wan Ning also knew, it was the forest crow that attacked him when he was fighting with Zhang Jiaojiao before, and he was also among the team.
"When the time comes, I will tell you in detail when you enter the ruins, it's not that I don't trust you, but the main thing is that the stakes are very high, and I don't dare to slack off. “
The tall man looked back at the crow and said with a look.
During the discussion, the Divine Sword Sect people and horses got closer and closer to the place where Wanning was lurking, and then gradually moved away, heading towards the dark ruins, they did not know that the action they thought was perfect for secrecy had been heard clearly by the two pairs of ears hidden in the bushes and banyan leaves.
"Okay, it's okay, you two come out. “
The little plum blossom floated out of Wan Ning's body, stood on the road majestically, looked at the situation, and then said to Wan Ning and the ghost.
"While they haven't discovered us yet, let's hurry up, a dozen Ning Yuan Realm spiritual cultivators are not something we can handle. “
The ghost jumped down from the tree, straightened his clothes, and said to Wan Ning, who was covered in thorn fruits.
"No, you have to keep up...... Why are there so many thorn fruits in this grass? “
Wan Ning looked at himself who had become a hedgehog, frowned slightly, used his spiritual power, cleaned up his body, and then said to the ghost.
"Why? Are you deliberately going against me? “
The ghost said a little angrily, before he said to go to the ruins, Wan Ning stopped it, and now when he encounters a real visible danger, the ghost is ready to retreat, and now Wan Ning is not doing it again, he can't understand what this guy is thinking in his head.
"The Divine Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demons are not clear, such a confidential matter is most likely related to the plans of the Heavenly Demons, I must know what they are plotting. “
The ghost spirit doesn't know what Wan Ning has experienced in his previous life, and everything related to the word "demon" will make Wan Ning cheer up, especially in the current situation, he has offended the heavenly demons, the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, so to know more information about these demons, there is only good and no harm for him.
"Yes, yes, but we have to avoid these people, the leaders of the other party are two Ning Yuan Realm superiors, once we are discovered, it will be difficult to escape. “
The ghost didn't care about the whereabouts of the Heavenly Demons, but out of his desire for the mutated Yin Soul Wood, he pondered for a while and agreed to Wan Ning's request.
"Do you have any good ideas? “
In addition to his rough and strong combat ability, Wan Ning was extremely lacking in other aspects, so he could only spread his hands and throw the problem to the ghosts again.
"Of course, if I hadn't been well prepared, I wouldn't have proposed to venture into the Dark Ruins, and I took this kind of friction with people into account. “
The ghost spirit glanced at Wan Ning, took out two blue-shelled purple-headed insects from the small bamboo cage pinned to his waist, whistled in his mouth, and the two beetles spread their wings and flew out buzzing.
"This is the guide trap, I have attached a faint divine thought to it, with them, I don't have to worry about the diffusion of divine thoughts may be perceived by them, and the scope of exploration will be farther, now we are here to stand still, and we will take the next step when the trap comes back. “
The ghost found a vacant space, the old god was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and Wanning, a layman, couldn't say anything, so he had to sit down with the ghost spirit.
"There were no of them for a mile, but the breath stayed in the north, that is, in the direction of the stream beneath our feet. ”
After a while, the two little beetles buzzed back again, and the ghost spirit stretched out its right hand, absorbing the information attached to the divine thoughts, stood up, and said to Wan Ning.
"Looks like they're already in, so let's hurry up. ”
In this way, while walking and exploring, the two stopped and stopped, and finally arrived at the gate of the ruins. This is a village shrouded in a thick gray mist, because it has been abandoned for thousands of years, most of the grass huts and wooden houses are covered by vines and trees, and the crazy vegetation covers the country path, leaving only a road with obvious trampling marks to the depths of the ruins.
Wan Ning walked to a thatched hut outside the village, in order to erase the traces, he didn't even remove the thick moss on the rusty handle, and opened the door with his right hand, which was wrapped in spiritual power, and the thick and visible dust came to his nose.
He coughed a few times and crept into the house, most of the items had decayed and disappeared, only an iron bed board covered with green leaves remained, and a stack of half-broken porcelain bowls piled up in the corner, since the adventurers who came to explore were almost for the Yin Soul Wood, they would not waste their time in these dilapidated houses, so for so many years, these grass huts were almost undisturbed.
"Don't you think it's strange that there are no living animals in this village except for the plants that grow wildly, and you see, even in such a closed house, there is not even a cobweb in the corners. ”
At this time, the ghost also entered the room, he glanced around, reached out and twisted the heavy dust of the wall, and said.
"Indeed, normally this kind of habitat abandoned by humans would become a new paradise for animals, but until now we have not seen a single mouse. ”
At this time, Wan Ning also realized the problem, he carefully expanded his divine thoughts, but he didn't even see an ant, such a strange situation was also the first time Wan Ning had encountered.
"It wasn't obvious on the outside before, but now when I walk into the village, I realize that the corpse aura here is too heavy, and not only that, but the cold aura in the corpse qi is cold to the bone marrow. Combined with the analysis, it should be the existence of the owner of this ruin that caused the absence of any living creatures in the village, he... No, it should be it, and it may even have caused this originally peaceful village to turn into terrifying ruins overnight, you said that the Divine Sword Sect came here to carry out a secret mission, would it have anything to do with it. ”
The ghost gasped as he spoke, these were thousands of living people, all of whom died overnight, and countless explorers for thousands of years died in the ruins, most of them in the bloody jaws of that monster.
"No, it shouldn't be, after all, this is the territory of the Yanlu Sect, the Yanlu Sect, as the number one sect in the Zhao Kingdom, naturally there is no shortage of real powerhouses, he can't tolerate the Divine Sword Sect raising such a monster under his feet, it's just that the Divine Sword Sect is not far away, and if it appears here, it will definitely do something that can't be seen." Wan Ning shook his head and said.
"Since that's the case, why don't the people of the Flame Furnace Sect just clear this ruin, there are more than one or two explorers who die every year because of this. The ghost asked.
"If your guess is correct, the special ecosystem of the ruins is all maintained by monsters, and if the Flame Furnace Sect kills the monsters at once, the dark ruins will fall apart, and the remaining ghost zombies without the support of the mother will soon disappear. There is no place to gather yin, where does the Yin Soul Wood come from, it is not only the material for you to make the Soul Flag, but also the refining of many spiritual weapons and pills, and the Yin Soul Wood itself is rare, even if it is exported to the Heavenly Ghost Sect in large demand, it is also a lot of spirit stones. ”
Mannings patiently explained.
"Then why didn't the Flame Furnace Sect send someone to manage it, at least classify the dark ruins as a forbidden place, and not allow those explorers with too low cultivation to enter, as the first sect, it would be too derelict to die so many people under their feet for no reason. ”
The ghost stepped out of the dusty grass hut and scolded.
"Hehe, you have to know, that monster wants to eat meat, animal spirit beasts can sense the breath of danger, don't come near here, if there is no unknown dead and alive guy who is attracted by the Yin Soul Wood to come to the funeral, who will the monster eat. ”
"The first group of explorers fell, and the Neald Tree sprouted sprouts on their carrion and thrived to become usable Nephin Wood, and the latter group of explorers came to the ruins with the dream of becoming rich overnight. In this way, the infinite cycle has been endless for thousands of years, and the legend of the Yin Soul Wood has not been broken, attracting countless adventurers to continue to send them to death. ”
"They don't know at all that the so-called Yin Soul Wood is all based on them as nourishment, so that it can be endless, and the real profit is the Yanlu Sect that does not act behind the scenes, under the throne of these big sects, who does not have a few bad ass black accounts. This monster was originally born by accident, but it was used by the Flame Furnace Sect, not only did he expose this trap and make it public, but he also did not clean up the domesticated monster, and even tied the rope around everyone's necks more tightly. ”
"The Flame Furnace Sect wants to keep it as it is, allowing those adventurers to cultivate the Yin Soul Wood, but they don't pay any price for the empty gloves of the white wolf. When the number of adventurers was insufficient, the Yanlu Sect even issued an order to purchase Yin Soul Wood at a high price, attracting more adventurers to die, this is Yin Soul Wood, this is Killing Wood!"
Wan Ning sneered, his tone was full of mockery, and he roughly deduced the terrifying truth through some clues that were not closely connected. Although he has a good relationship with Mrs. Zou, in the face of major rights and wrongs, Wanning has always only stood on the right side.
