Bang –

Before Wang Bo's words fell, a gray-black mist suddenly floated out, Wang Bo subconsciously looked over and saw that the mist drifted to a tree on the side of the road, at this time, there were just two slightly yellowed leaves falling from the tree, and then the leaves and the gray-black mist met, and the surface of the leaves that were originally only slightly yellowed suddenly dried up and shriveled, and when they fell to the ground, they had become like the most common dry gray leaves in winter!

"Retreat, retreat, hurry, everyone, retreat 50 meters, not 100 meters!", Wang Bo, who found that the gray mist was terrifyingly corrosive, finally couldn't control the fear in his heart, and said loudly. At this time, I don't care if the people in the back will be cranky, now safety is the most important!

"Quick! retreat! everyone retreats!" Everyone who had been faintly worried heard Wang Bo's order to let everyone retreat, and hurriedly retreated to the back, but fortunately, the speed of the gray fog was not fast, and although everyone was anxious, they were not so flustered. Soon, all of them retreated fifty meters back and huddled together with the residents of the Lishui community.

Woohoo!

Originally guarding Woody, Zhao Xiaoqian, and the fur on the whole body of the wind wolf beside them suddenly exploded, their eyes stared at the direction of the gray mist, and they let out a roar, as if they wanted to scare something away!

"What's wrong?"

Bang –

Seeing the nervous appearance of the wind wolves, Hu Di and the others were shocked, could it be that there was something wrong ahead? She had already gone to the front and asked when the team had just stopped.

Wang Bo and the others were afraid that Hu Di and they were worried, so they just said that Zhou Guan and a few of them went to the front to investigate the situation, and at that time, no one knew the danger of the gray fog, they just thought that they were normal to investigate, and Hu Di didn't think too much about it and came back.

And now, the nervous reaction of the wind wolves inexplicably made Woody panic, as if something terrible was happening.

Meow Woo –

Woody was wondering if something had happened when the kitten demon who was holding her in her arms suddenly let out a sharp cry, and then jumped out of her arms directly in her exclamation!

Bang –

In Woody's shocked gaze, flames suddenly erupted on the kitten demon's body, and when the flames disappeared, the cute and delicate kitten demon had disappeared, and was replaced by a huge cat demon who was taller than her and had a pair of canine teeth like daggers!

"Kitten...... Is this who you really are? No wonder...... Is it any wonder that he deliberately asked you to stay with us because he wanted you to protect us?"

Whew—

The beautiful cat meow turned into the roar of the beast but there was no trace of fear in his heart a little bit just being cared for and taken care of the touching of Zhou Guan's worries and ...... Intense unwillingness!

"I'm so weak! Not only can't I fight side by side with him, but I even have to make him spend so much effort to protect me!" Woody subconsciously bit her lip, and the unwillingness in her heart hit her pride and self-esteem one after another like a tide.

Who doesn't know how much pressure she has been under since she started on the road, although Zhou Guan has always protected her very well and did not let her be hurt, but she is very unwilling in her heart, but she hides it very well, and even Zhou Guan, who has been sticking to her recently, is not aware of it.

She doesn't want to be like a fragile vase that is carefully protected by Zhou Guan, this is not what she wants, what she wants to be should be someone who can stand side by side with that person!

"I'm going to be stronger!I'm not going to be the one he's protecting behind me anymore!I'm hoping I can protect him!" Woody's eyes stared straight ahead, and the gray mist that began to boil like boiling water seemed to see through the fog, and he made up his mind to become stronger, strong enough to fight alongside someone, strong enough to protect him......

"What the hell is going on in front of you!?" Everyone who stopped halfway had noticed the strange gray fog in front of them, and at this time, they didn't need anyone to remind people to retreat frantically, they didn't know what this gray and black fog was, but it couldn't hinder their fears in the slightest, looking at the fog slowly rolling in front of them, many people began to pray, praying that they could get through the town in front of them safely and reach Jinling safely.

It's good to get to Jinling, where they can not only have the protection of the army, but also have plenty of food and warm rooms, which is already the motivation to support many people to continue to move forward, so they can grit their teeth and support even if they face a difficult situation, no matter how terrible the monster is, instead of clamoring to go back or flee directly when they encounter danger as at the beginning, which has to be said to be a kind of progress.

While everyone was staring at the gray fog in front of them, no one noticed that a white figure in the sky had silently fallen into the gray mist-shrouded town.

"Something seems wrong!" said a group of seven people who were walking cautiously along the alley towards the center of the town, when suddenly the original owner who was walking in front on a griffin suddenly stopped.

"What did you find?" everyone also stopped and looked at the original owner, asking suspiciously.

"It's so quiet!" said the original owner, frowning.

"Quiet?" the six subconsciously pricked up their ears and looked around, "It's quiet, but hasn't this place always been like this?"

"Do you mean those skeletons?" Zhou Guan, who was at the back of the line, suddenly spoke.

"Those skeletons?" everyone subconsciously looked at Zhou Guan, and then the faces of all the people changed, because they suddenly found that Zhou Guan was actually holding a miserable white skull in his hand!

"Indeed~ I don't think I saw those skeletons since just now~"

"What's that look on your face?oh, this~"

Zhou Guan shook the skull in his hand, leaving two eye-catching miserable green firefly tracks in the air, "Don't care! It's just that I found a friend on the way to borrow it, just to study it~"

"God fucking friend! God fucking borrowed! I'm afraid your friend has been torn to bones by now!"

"It's all said, don't care about these details!" Zhou Guan's index finger popped, and a lilac flame appeared, and then in the frightened eyes of several people, it stretched into the empty eye socket, accompanied by the sound of a loud sound, the miserable green flame was suddenly swallowed by Zhou Guan's refining purple yang fire, and a message also flowed through Zhou Guan's bottom of the question.

"Sure enough, it's the same as I thought, this thing contains the memories of this skeleton before its death, if it is absorbed, it is likely to inherit some unexpected experience or knowledge~"

Zhou Guan lost the skull in his hand, and a light flashed in his exposed purple red eyes, this is already the first skull he broke and didn't know how many skeletons, through the study of these skulls, he found that the miserable green flame in this skull contains not weak spiritual power, if absorbed into the body, it will not only enhance his spirit, but also get some information, or fragments of the skeleton's memories before his death, or some knowledge, and even experience.

For example, the one that was burned by Zhou Guan with flames and absorbed just now does not contain any magic knowledge or fighting skills, sword mastery and the like, but the knowledge of how to fill sausages.

Although it can be regarded as a very useful life experience and skill, it is a pity that Zhou Guan does not like to eat sausages, and it can even be said that he never eats sausages, so this knowledge is blind!

In this regard, Zhou Guan can only guess that the things contained in the flames should be the things or experiences they remember the most during their lifetimes, of course, there may be other things hidden in them, but they may have been burned by Zhou Guan cautiously using the Void Purple Yang Fire, leaving only a bit of sausage making process that can be called obsession~

"Could this be the soul flame?" Jiang Xin said subconsciously after hearing Zhou Guan's description.

"The soul flame is the miserable green flame in this skull, I heard that it contains the combat memory and combat instinct of these skeletons before their death, even if it is just an ordinary absorption, you can also obtain knowledge such as sword mastery, mad fighting skills, and even magic knowledge~ It can be said that this is an alternative way to obtain the inheritance, of course, it is incomparable with the kind of yin soul and yang soul inheritance obtained before, and the memories in these soul flames are also relatively mixed, and there is a certain risk!"

"Is the green flame in those bone shelves actually an alternative inheritance?" said a few people in disbelief.

If Jiang Xin's words were true, wouldn't it mean that as long as they killed enough skeletons and then distributed those soul flames to others, everyone would be able to become inheritors and master a certain amount of combat power?

"I'm not sure either, but the rumors are true~" Jiang Xin said.

His so-called rumors are naturally false, he is a traverser, and he has not been in contact with anyone other than Zhou Guan and them until now, where will there be any rumors for him to hear~

But the matter of Soul Flame was indeed mentioned in the original book, and even Jiang Xin vaguely remembered that a guy with the same name as a certain novel he had read, the same ability, and even the same way of opening and hanging was that he got a conscious "old man" Soul Flame began to counterattack and resolutely implement the sentence "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor", and finally became a top master in Huaxia~

"But if this soul flame is real, I think we're in trouble!" Jiang Xin suddenly seemed to think of something, and his face became very ugly.

"What trouble?" everyone was shocked and subconsciously said, they are now in this dangerous town, and the trouble in Jiang Xin's mouth is likely to be what they will face next!

"We don't care if this thing is good or bad, but if this thing is really a soul flame, it means that there is likely to be an entrance to the abyss realm around us!"

"Abyss Realm!?" everyone subconsciously exclaimed, although they didn't know what this abyss realm was, but the moment they heard this word, they faintly felt that something was wrong, the word abyss just made people inexplicably frightened and trembled.

"No wonder...... It's no wonder we've encountered monsters like the Thunder Scorpion and the Frost Toad before! Aren't they creatures in the Abyss Realm?!"

Before, Jiang Xin just thought it was strange and didn't think too much about it, but now only the skeletons in the abyss realm, the appearance of the soul flame that only exists in the zombie's body finally made him react - there is likely to be a crack in this town that connects with the abyss realm!

In that case, the sinister aura that surrounded the whole town in front of me and the skeletons would make sense.

Based on all the information they had learned so far, they could almost deduce what had happened here after the catastrophe had struck.

When the disaster struck, a spatial crack appeared in the town that was connected to the Abyss Realm, so a large amount of Yin Evil Ghost Qi that only existed in the Abyss Realm poured in, and spread in the town in a short period of time, and the residents in the town were all transformed into the lowest residents of the Abyss Realm, that is, skeleton soldiers.

Even if a small number of residents are not sucked dry of their lives and transformed into skeleton soldiers in the first place, they may be killed by the residents around them or even their own relatives, and turned into corpses in a corner of the town.

This also explains why this town is lifeless as if it has not been populated for decades, and why many of the skeletons they encounter are wearing clothes that are no different from their bodies, and even the seemingly useless memory of "sausage" in the soul flame that Zhou Guan absorbed has become evidence to prove whether their reasoning is correct or not.

"So what do we do now? Do we want to continue?" Knowing that there is likely to be a spatial rift leading to the terrifying Abyss Realm ahead, the Awakened who have just decided to go to the center of the town to investigate the situation began to hesitate.

"Otherwise, let's quit! Anyway, it's not just the road in front of us, it's a big deal, let's take a little more time on the road!" Seeing that everyone was hesitant and worried, Ding Zongyun said tentatively.

"What about you, do you think the same way?" Zhou Guan didn't say anything, just glanced at Ding Zongyun and said.

He didn't think Ding Zongyun was timid, on the contrary, being able to take the initiative to enter this dangerous town was enough to show that he was not a timid person.

This is also human nature, and anyone who knows that there are likely to be zombies, necromancy, and even bone dragons and other monsters that only appear in myths and legends will be afraid and afraid.

Originally, their mission was only to check the source of the gray mist and rescue Wang Ren and them, with their strength second to none among the more than 300,000 people and thousands of awakened people in the entire team, even if they encountered danger, they should be able to escape with their whole body, at most it was a little more dangerous.

It is precisely because they understand this that they are willing to come in, but now that the situation has changed, what is the danger, and it has become a situation of nine deaths and a lifetime, as long as it is a normal person, it will naturally be fearful, worried and want to go back, anyway, things have not reached the point where they have to work hard, is it necessary for them to bury their lives in order to save a little time?

As for Wang Ren who is trapped in a corner of the town, not to mention that they are probably dead now, what can they do if they are still alive?

Do you want them to risk being killed by monsters that emerge from the Abyss Realm at any moment to save a group of people they don't know at all?
