Chapter 39: Dark Shadows

The belly of the mountain is very open, there are a lot of passages, all of which lead to the depths, Yang Fan chose a road and rushed into it, the passage is oval, the radius is about more than ten meters, it is very large, the surrounding rock wall is very smooth, Yang Fan and others went all the way down, and found that there are branches in these passages halfway, leading to the rest of the place, it is very complicated, like a labyrinth arranged.

"How do you find such a big place?" Yang Fan frowned.

Many people walked towards the surrounding side roads, but many more chose to go deeper, but after walking for about half an hour, they saw a man.

"Nima, the Emperor of the Ancestral Toad"

The Emperor of the First Pulse of the Ancestral Toad stood in the passage, staring at the depths of the channel, his eyebrows were very solemn, Yang Fan, who was mixed in the crowd, saw the Emperor of the First Pulse of the Ancestral Toad and couldn't help but shrink his neck, and was recognized by this old Wang Ba, how could he still have a chance to live, the eyes of the Emperor of the First Pulse of the Ancestral Toad did not come, but everyone closed their mouths for the first time, and many people began to retreat and return along the same road, so as not to provoke the dissatisfaction of the Emperor of the First Pulse of the Ancestral Toad, and it was called unlucky to be killed here.

Most of the people began to return along the same path, Yang Fan was naturally in this ranks, and it was really bad luck to meet the Emperor of the Ancestral Toad, Yang Fan came to the branch intersection and continued to walk towards the depths, this group of people had about a hundred cultivators, many of whom were extremely cultivated.

"Ahh

As everyone marched forward, there was a scream from the depths, which made people feel creepy.

"There's someone ahead, go take a look"

The crowd looked shocked and rushed forward quickly, and soon found the place where the screams came from, where there were traces of a fight, but a pool of blood was left behind, and no body was found.

"Hey, look, there's a plant growing here."

A cultivator found clues in a corner, there was a small part of the rhizome between the rocks, obviously the upper part was picked, he took out the rhizome part, the whole body showed a dark purple color, with a faint energy fluctuation, it looked very extraordinary.

"Purple Root Spirit Flower, this is a medicine king that has lived for at least fifty or sixty thousand years..."

An old cultivator was surprised, "The medicine king can prolong his life for eight hundred years, this is a deadly treasure for a cultivator who has little time, the value is incalculable, the rhizome is still very fresh, it was obviously just picked, and there was a scream just now, it must be a dispute between the two sides, and one side is a killer!"

Everyone agreed with the old man's words.

The old man's body is thin and thin, his eye sockets have collapsed, and his old eyes are even more muddy, and he looks like he is about to die, but he has been cultivating for many years and has a lot of experience, he said, "Just entered the female holy tomb, there is such a spiritual treasure, there must be more treasures in the internal area, let's take a closer look"

The old man took the lead in rushing forward, everyone was not far behind, and the large army of more than 100 people went towards the depths of the mighty line, along the way everyone found more than ten Lingzhen foundations, but all the Lingzhen were picked by others.

"Damn, someone got ahead of the game"

"This is a great fortune, all treasures,"

Many people's faces are gloomy and terrible, there is murder in their eyes, and there are a lot of treasures along the way, but it is a pity that they were picked up one step earlier, and anyone will feel very unhappy.

After walking some distance, there was a fork in the road ahead, and suddenly, a black shadow appeared from a fork in the road, as fast as lightning, and rushed to another passage.

"Boom"

At the same time, the black shadow let out an eerie scream, like a ghost roaring!

"What is it?" everyone was frightened, and quickly rushed to the fork in the road, the old man was in the front, the fastest speed, the first to rush in, everyone also entered the fork in the road, but they didn't find anything, the black shadow had long been gone,

"Old man Xue, what did you see?" asked a cultivator who knew the old man.

"Yes, what the hell is that black shadow? Old man Xue, have you seen it clearly?"

The old man turned around, a solemn look flashed between his eyebrows, and said, "I'm afraid it's something unclean."

"Damn, old man Xue, don't be alarmist, don't talk nonsense if you don't see it"

There was a slight commotion in the crowd.

"Maybe the old man is wrong" Old man Xue changed his words again, with a slight doubt between his eyebrows, and he didn't seem to be very confident in what he saw.

Everyone continued to walk towards the depths, the passage was very long, very dim, the visibility was not high, there was a cold wind blowing, and from time to time the sound of whining and wooing could be heard, which was very cautious.

It didn't take long for a huge cave to appear in front of it, the top of the cave was very high, about hundreds of meters, and the cave was very large, with a radius of hundreds of acres.

After everyone arrived here, they quickly dispersed and began to search, hoping to find some spiritual herbs and other things.

"Ahh

It didn't take long for a terrible scream to suddenly come out in the distance, and everyone was shocked.

"What happened?"

The cave was very dim, blurry, and the visibility was low, even if the cultivators didn't look carefully, the visibility would not be too big, and the scream made everyone refresh, and they quickly ran over, and soon arrived at the place where the incident occurred, where only a pool of blood was left, and there was nothing.

"Someone died, leaving only a pool of blood"

Everyone looked at this place in horror and disbelief, and there was a creepy feeling in their hearts, because no one had found anything, and how that person disappeared became a mystery.

Yes!

Suddenly, another scream came out from the periphery, and everyone was terrified, and they quickly turned around to look, and a piece of blood appeared on the outermost periphery, but the person who was standing there had disappeared.

"How so? I was talking to him just now, and as soon as I turned around, he... Gone."

A young cultivator said with a pale face, with a hint of tremor in his tone.

"It's not good, I'm afraid there are really unclean things here, let's get out of here quickly"

Someone shouted with a trembling voice, the cultivation team of hundreds of people, and many masters became panicked at this time, because the scene that appeared in front of them was too weird, everyone quickly ran towards the exit, but as soon as they turned their bodies, a miserable scream came out, and the young cultivator who had just told the previous story with a pale face disappeared silently, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

"What is it? What the hell?" everyone looked shocked, and many of them even yelled out in a gaffe at the scene in front of them.

"Don't panic, let's form a circle, lean on each other, face in all directions, and we will definitely be able to find that unclean thing appear!"

Old man Xue shouted loudly.

Everyone gathered together in a hurry, snuggling up to each other, and the outermost people were all facing the direction of the outside, so that the back was no longer left alone behind, and it did play a defensive role, and everyone slowly moved towards the outside.

Yes!

An extremely miserable cry came from the crowd, and a young cultivator disappeared silently, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

Everyone looked at the middle of the team in shock, and the people around the young cultivator were all extremely white, without a trace of blood.

"We didn't see anything, we didn't see anything!" Those people's faces were pale, and they were trembling all over, obviously frightened, the scene just now was too weird!

"How can this be? What kind of monster is it?" Old man Xue, have you seen it clearly?" someone let out a frightened cry.

Old man Xue said with a solemn expression, "The old man only saw a black shadow! I didn't see it clearly at all, and the speed of seeing the black shadow was too fast."

"No matter what, if you can escape one by one, this method is useless at all, such a slow speed, we will all die here sooner or later"

Someone shouted loudly and quickly fled outside from the group.

There are not a few such people, there are almost twenty of them, but then, everyone saw the gruesome scene.

I saw those people running or flying, disappearing one after another, and every time a person disappeared, a blood-colored mark appeared on the ground in the direction where they disappeared.

"How so?"

"What the hell?"

"Are we all going to die here?"

Seeing this scene, everyone showed a look of despair.

"Heavenly Eye!" Yang Fan, who was in the middle of the crowd, quietly opened the Heavenly Eye and looked ahead.

Suddenly, everything in the blur between heaven and earth became clear, and he saw a pitch-black shadow jumping in front of him, and every time that shadow enveloped a person, that person would disappear, and in its place, there would be an extra blood stain on the ground, which was very miserable!

"Damn, what the hell is it?" Yang Fan was terrified, because even he couldn't see clearly what the black shadow was, the black shadow rushed quickly, and it didn't take long to swallow all the more than twenty people who ran out, and then, the black shadow rushed towards everyone like lightning.

"Oh no, it pounced"

Yang Fan shouted.

"What's coming here?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Boy, what do you see?"

The black shadow merged with the heaven and earth here, ordinary people couldn't see it at all, even Yang Fan could only rely on the eye of heaven to see a vague shadow, at this moment, everyone was talking about it, and looked at Yang Fan with a frightened expression.

"Whoosh"

The black shadow rushed quickly, but when it rushed into the crowd, the black shadow suddenly disappeared.

Yang Fan showed a trace of horror in his heart, he looked at the crowd with his heavenly eyes, but he couldn't see where the black shadow went.

"How could this be, where did he go?" Yang Fan's face turned a little pale.

"Little friend, what did you see?" asked Old Man Xue worriedly.

"yes, what do you see?

Everyone was extremely anxious, looking at Yang Fan with a hint of coldness, perhaps thinking that what Yang Fan said at this moment was really terrifying.

Yang Fan closed his eyes in the sky, his face was a little pale, and said, "I saw a black shadow, that black shadow devoured those people, leaving patches of blood on the ground, and that black shadow rushed into us at this moment, but I can't find out where he went? If my guess is correct, that black shadow must have possessed someone's body."

The Qijie monk and the unscrupulous Taoist priest also looked at everyone in the crowd with a solemn face at this time, these two people have extraordinary means, and they seem to have seen something, the two of them know Yang Fan, and now they are close to Yang Fan, muttering, "Boy, rely on your safety, ghosts and gods are difficult to approach!"

"We are each other's horns" Yang Fan retreated without a trace, slowly separated from the crowd, unscrupulous Taoists, Qijie monks and Yang Fan briefly united together, showing each other horns Looking at hundreds of people, because anyone can be possessed, this is very dangerous, and you need to find a trustworthy person to be together.

"Damn, you are alarmist, why didn't Lao Tzu see it, do you want to disturb people's hearts?"

"I don't think it's possible that someone is deliberately making trouble, and some people's intentions are self-evident."

"Do you want us to separate ourselves and break each one? Your fox tail is finally exposed."

In the face of the terrible unknown, ordinary people are always more willing to believe that it is man-made rather than the unknown terrifying existence, and hundreds of cultivators looked at Yang Fan with a cold gaze.

"Everyone, believe it or not, it's up to you, I'll wait for the three of us to leave."

Yang Fan shouted in a low voice.

"If you want to leave, you can't say, what means did you use to kill those innocent Taoist friends?" a middle-aged man in the crowd sneered.

"That's right, why kill innocent Daoists?"

"Blood Debt Needs Blood to Pay"

In addition, there are people in support, Yang Fan looked at it, his face changed slightly, he actually knew those three people, and they turned out to be a few guards of the lonely son of the Su family of the Hundred Saints family in the land of Shenzhou, Yang Fan saw the loneliness of the son through the crowd and looked here, he naturally didn't believe that the son was lonely and recognized himself, but he secretly scolded this kid in his heart is really not a good thing.

"These three people have bad intentions and want to secretly kill us and others, what are we waiting for? Kill these three people to avenge the innocent and dead Taoist friends"

The three shouted.

"That's right, kill all three of them" The crowd was agitated, and everyone was indignant.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"There really is a murderous thing..."

Everyone's faces changed miserably at this time, and they no longer doubted Yang Fan's words, because everyone had just locked their eyes on Yang Fan and the three of them, and any abnormal movement of Yang Fan and the three of them would be discovered, but Yang Fan and the three of them did not make any moves, and another person died, which can explain a lot of problems.

All the cultivators immediately dispersed in all directions, of course, they were not alone, some friends or relatives and friends leaned on each other, looking at the people around them with nervous and fearful expressions.
