A dark shadow flashed in the sky, and if you looked closely, it was the mysterious man who took away the sword shadow at that time.

Due to the huge consumption caused by the materialization of aura, the man looked a little shaky in mid-air, at this time, he had already left the realm of the snow country, and if he continued to fly for a while, he would arrive at the territory of the poison country, which was known as the capital of sin.

After a long time, he felt that the aura that could not make ends meet was getting worse, and the man had to stop near the Forest of Dead Souls.

According to legend, when the battle of the Seven Kingdoms was about to end, it was an endless green forest, where birds and insects chirped endlessly, giving birth to countless heavenly and earthly treasures, and raising a group of extremely powerful spirit beasts, so it was called "Baibaolin" by the world, and it was also one of the areas that the Seven Great Powers wanted to occupy the most.

The emergence of this blessed land is destined to become a rare immortal source that makes people scramble and recklessly want to find out, and it will also become the source of disasters that disrupt the order of national borders and undermine the stability of civilians.

In the face of this immortal source blessed land that appeared out of thin air, Xue Mingzi near the water tower did not have the intention of occupying it, on the contrary, he also drove the city lords of all parties to open the city gates, so that it was convenient for spiritual cultivators from all countries to explore.

Having said that, even the light and breezy Xue Mingzi was moved, but the long war made it difficult for the people to live, and it was inconvenient for some spirits to defend the land to die for their own greed.

On the other hand, after learning that Xue Yingzi had no intention of occupying his land, in order to satisfy his selfish desires and fulfill his ambitions, he bewitched a few spiritual cultivators and was bound to occupy this treasure land filled with beautiful dreams and hopes!

After repeated discussions with the domestic deacons and the patriarchs of the major clans, a large-scale war of aggression was carried out at the end of the War of the Seven Kingdoms, but the gap between fantasy and reality was destined to be filled by a heavy price......

Due to the abundant spiritual energy in the forest, most of the spirit beasts in it have already been promoted to fifth-order spirit beasts, coupled with the strong physique of the beasts and the overwhelming divine power, the strength has long exceeded the master of the spirit crystal stage, but the heart of the poisonous sky that is occupied by greed, even if he has guessed the final result, but under the blame of that trace of luck, he still has no hesitation to maintain his opinion......

Sure enough, the battle only lasted for five days, and almost all the hundreds of spiritual cultivators led by Poison Heaven were defeated, and he gave up the idea of occupying this area when he first woke up from a big dream, but after returning to Poison City, he was criticized by the people of the whole country, and gradually lost the hearts of the people.

Under the double pressure of the outside world and the people, Poison Tian had no choice but to compromise the agreement of the other five countries, give up the senseless fighting, let people recuperate in peace, and at the same time pretend to reflect on his own mistakes and temporarily retain his status as the ruler of the country.

Soon after, he was also invited to sign a peace agreement with the other five kingdoms in the neutral area, and in some cases, this war was bound to fail, laying the foundation for future peace......

People were looking forward to it day and night, and when the long-awaited peace finally arrived, Baibaolin was shrouded in a strange purple mist.

A few days later, this place was already very different from the past, and the people who went to investigate it were surprised to find that every grass and tree in the forest seemed to be eroded by the thick poisonous mist, and the ground was covered with spirit beasts and the corpses of spirit cultivators who had decayed and formed into shapes, and even those extremely rare medicinal herbs were withered and decayed and became dull, and the clear river water emitted a foul smell, and there was no sound except for the sound of flowing water......

The news soon spread to various places, and the people of all countries knew that no one knew more about poison than the country of poison, and the voices of the outside world, coupled with the fact that the poison sky had not given a relative response, people naturally understood it as acquiescence.

Since then, except for a few small countries in the vicinity, few outsiders have come to the poisonous country, day after day, year after year, the economy has become quite scarce, and now, the poisonous heaven can only let the spirit people in the country leave the country and become mercenaries outside, which has maintained the needs of the country......

Perhaps in order to pay tribute to the cultivators and spirit beasts who died in the poisonous mist, this place has become a forbidden place in the spirit world, and it is said that there are no life forms in the forest for a long time, and over time, it is called the Forest of Dead Souls.

Looking at the pitch-black forest in front of him, the black-robed man hesitated slightly, and after a few thoughts, he strode in like a meteor.

The interior seemed to be a black independent world, black dirt, black rotten wood, black weeds, even the bones left on the ground became extremely black, and the stench that filled the air made him hold his breath and move forward.

I don't know how long it took, during this period, the man could hardly hear any subtle sound except for his own breathing and footsteps rubbing the ground......

"Help me..."

In the strange and gloomy forest, an extremely faint cry for help came from nowhere.

The sudden call for help made the black-robed man a little frightened, and when he heard the sound, he was slightly relieved when he saw that he was only a child about eight or nine years old.

The child's left arm was attacked by some wild beast, and the flesh and blood were glued together to look terrifying.

At this time, he was leaning against a dark stone next to the tree and moaning in a low voice, his eyes revealing a strong desire to survive.

Seeing this, the man who relaxed his vigilance moved his steps to approach the child, but suddenly remembered that when he walked over just now, there was no trace of anyone at all!

After a moment of silence, a bone-chilling chill hit the man's heart, but he was not one of those inexperienced reckless mercenaries, and after stopping his trembling body and trembling lips, he began to condense his aura at the same time......

"Help me..."

The cry for help still did not stop, but compared to the previous weakness, it sounded much more powerful at the moment, and the pleading in the boy's eyes turned into a kind of greed!

Suddenly, the boy jerked to his feet, dragging what seemed to be a broken right leg, limping forward slowly.

"Beam of Darkness!"

In the face of such a strange boy, the man no longer hesitated, and with a loud shout, a dark flame spread out from his sleeve, and surrounded the boy in an instant.

Seeing that the latter did not make any struggle, the man walked cautiously, but before he could get closer, he saw him take a big step back, and then a rapid gasp sounded.

After taking a few deep breaths, the man took a few more steps forward, and only then did he see the boy's face clearly......

The facial features that were vaguely visible just now have disappeared out of thin air at this moment, leaving only a large area of black hole, which is still gushing out black and unknown substances.

However, when the strange black substance touched the chain-like flames, it gradually turned into a puddle of black water.

It didn't take long for the hole, which was originally the size of an adult's fist, to cover two-thirds of the boy's face, and the white limbs and the wounds that adhered to the flesh began to melt and burst out of black water, constantly rotting......

Feeling a spasm in his stomach, the man's palms were folded and his fingers crossed, and the gray flames that had been bound around the boy instantly contracted, dissolving his body, which was no longer a body, into a puddle of black water.

When he waved his sleeves and was about to leave, he heard the sound of squirming behind him, and when he looked back, he found that the black water was mimicking something at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Shocked to shocked, panicked to panicked, the man didn't intend to let it have a chance to take shape, he catalyzed the gray flame to scorch the black water again, until it was all steam, and then gradually stopped, but at this moment......

(Angry hiss...... ）

"Why kill my child!"

In the silence, a sharp sound suddenly sounded, as if it was about to pierce the eardrums! The sound continued to wander through the forest, and soon the originally silent forest became noisy, and there were strange loud noises......

Using his divine sense to spy on everything around him, the man did not notice any lifeform reaction, but the hissing sound that lingered in his ears did not disappear, but became more and more intense.

Unable to be disturbed by the scream, the man urged the aura to protect his ears, but it was difficult to eliminate the sharp scream.

At this moment, a huge black shadow flashed in front of him, and a heavy blow knocked it back several meters away!

"Ahem..."

Standing up staggeringly, the man who could not bear the pain of tumbling internal organs coughed violently, and in his black pupils, which were still a little uneasy, a bloodthirsty cold flashed at this moment!

As a third-order spirit crystal player, he already had the strength to run rampant throughout the spirit realm, so it was naturally impossible for him to flee in panic because he couldn't find an enemy lurking in an unknown location.

After moving his body around himself, strange dark flames began to overflow from the man's feet, beginning to erode everything around him.

After a long time, when the dead leaves, trees, and bones were all burned, the man found a monster that looked like a man but not a man, a beast but not a beast in this darkness!

After a long time of careful observation, his heart began to throb violently!

The monster in front of it has the upper body of a human, but the lower half of its body is the body of a centipede, its face seems to have been corroded by strong acid, the left half has long been unrecognizable, and the right half is only a sunken eyeball, and the nostrils are constantly gushing out of the nostrils similar to those unknown black substances from before, and the dislocated jaw spits out the purple tongue that has long been rotten......

Although it was difficult to accept all this in front of him, but compared to the doubts and incomprehension in his heart, the man still put his life first, maybe he didn't react for a while, he actually asked, "Who are you?!"

Hearing this, the monster smiled hideously, and it writhed its lower body and quickly attacked the man, in the process, the rotten tongue also threw out a black saliva with extremely acidic properties from time to time, dissolving it the moment it touched the rock!

Because the speed was too fast, the man could only dodge the splattering saliva, barely using his body to resist its attacks, but spiritual cultivators generally did not exercise their own bodies, and even some high-level spiritual beings may not be as physical as farmers who work in agriculture.

After a few times, the man's arms used to resist the monster's attacks began to go numb, and the corners of his mouth began to ooze blood, and the stuffy chest would make him appear dizzy for a short time from time to time!

Sniffing the blood dripping from the ground, the monster licked the ground vigorously with its rotting tongue, and the sunken potholes were more like boasting of the acidic horror in disguise!

After consuming the blood, the monster's sunken eyeball suddenly protruded, revealing incomparable greed, making a sound like chewing bones!

"Blood... Hate..."

Seeing that he was no longer able to dodge the attack of the monster in front of him, the man couldn't help but take a step back.

As if sensing that the prey in front of him wanted to escape, the monster rushed to him with even more speed than before!

Before he could defend himself, the man was thrown to the ground by the monster and let out a scream of pain......

"Goo, cluck..." (a desperate laugh...... ）

"Death Beam!"

Just as the monster let out a happy laugh, the man who had been knocked down suddenly turned into a gray flame, which resembled a human, and hugged the unknown monster tightly.

Although I don't understand what happened, due to the instinct to survive, the monster began to struggle, but repeated it a few times to no avail, and finally had to fall to the ground from exhaustion, but there was no trace of begging in that right eye, only endless hatred and unwillingness!

Jumping down from the tree, the man looked at the monster on the ground and sneered, "Hmph! After all, it's just a simple-minded monster, even if it has a half-human body, but the brain is still just a beast's intelligence." ”

It turned out that the body that was knocked down just now was nothing more than an aura phantom!

Reiki Phantom, a special technique that can be used as long as you reach the Psionic Stage, can make the aura transform into a physical form, although it has no substantive ability, but it is mostly used to dodge and deceive enemies.

Hearing the man's ridicule, the monster surged out of nowhere and stood up, but even so, it couldn't break free......

At the same time, from the humanoid flame holding the monster, a trace of flame gradually peeled off, and the flame quickly formed in the air, and in an instant, it was simulated into a blurred outline shaped like scissors.

"Stygian Snip!"

With the man's order, the flames that paused in the air cut off the monster's head in an instant, and then quickly burned on the head and body.

After a long time, the air was filled with the smell of corpses, and the man walked forward to find that the monster just now had turned into the corpse of a scavenging beast!

Scavengers, whose main food is weeds and wild fruits, do not completely digest the food they eat into their bodies, but evolve into a layer of carrion-like film covering their whole body, which plays a certain protective role.

Although the appearance is disgusting, but after hunting, the carrion is peeled off, and the flesh of the body is also considered delicious, and many hunters will inevitably have some relics of the deceased in the process of peeling off the carrion, or lost items, so the scavenger is also called a rich beast for hunters.

"What happened here, it's just that a non-aggressive scavenger can be twisted like this, if you encounter an aggressive beast, or a spirit beast..."

The more the man thought about it, the more frightened he became, and no longer wasting time, he walked forward quickly.

After a while, the traces of corrosion began to magically merge with the surrounding environment, and in a short time, it was restored to its original state.

"Heh~ I really didn't expect that humans would be able to get out of the black wood forest under my jurisdiction alive..."

A faint voice wanders around here, but the owner of the voice cannot be found......
