Chapter Twenty-Three: Alone
Not long after, Luo Chen encountered a demon beast named Unicorn Pig again, but the strength of this demon beast was far inferior to that of the black demon beetle, so Luo Chen successfully killed this demon beast with his own martial arts.
"Not bad!" Mo Lao was very satisfied with Luo Chen's battle just now, and couldn't help patting Luo Chen's shoulder and encouraging, then looked at the one-horned pig and said, "The meat of this one-horned pig is very delicious, and it can nourish the body, let's bring some and roast it at night to eat!" ”
"Good!" Luo Chen immediately took out the knife from the storage ring, removed the two pig thighs and put them in the storage ring.
In the next few days, Luo Chen, accompanied by Mo Lao, continued to go deep into the mountains, and encountered many demon beasts on the way, except for the particularly strong ones, which were directly killed by Mo Lao, the rest would basically let Luo Chen fight with them first and practice. After a few days of fighting, Luo Chen's combat experience has become richer and richer, and the use of martial arts has become more comfortable, especially the martial art he created himself, after his continuous practice and improvement, the power of that martial art has been improved a lot.
……
That afternoon, Luo Chen and Mo Lao were walking when they suddenly noticed that a figure seemed to be flashing in front of them like a ghost.
"Who?" Mo Lao's face changed, and he immediately stopped in front of Luo Chen and shouted.
At the same time, a black gas flew out from the front, the black gas dissipated, and a figure appeared in front, this person was shrouded in a pitch-black robe, his face could not be seen clearly under the hood, he was carrying a thing like a staff behind his back, and a hideous reddish-brown skull was hanging on the top of the staff, and two glooms of light flashed slightly in the skeleton's hollow eyes, which looked strange and calm.
The moment this person appeared, Luo Chen felt that his body suddenly seemed to be imprisoned by some force, and he couldn't move, and the same was true of Mo Lao in front of him.
"Mo Lao!" Luo Chen was secretly shocked in his heart, but he wanted to shout but found that he couldn't make a sound.
At this time, the black-robed man seemed to be a ghost, and came to Mo Lao lightly, and circled around Mo Lao, as if he was looking at Mo Lao.
"It seems to be this person, according to the time, he should be almost this age!" A hoarse voice came from under the black robe.
As he spoke, a black gas suddenly gushed out from under the man's robe, instantly enveloping Mo Lao, and in an instant, it disappeared in place as if teleporting.
Luo Chen was shocked, the secret path was not good, and immediately asked the system to include Mo Lao in the psychic space.
"The reincarnation is beyond the scope of the psychic, and the host can choose to remove the Filthy Earth Reincarnation Technique!" The system replied, Luo Chen's heart sank, and he had no choice, and immediately lifted Mo Lao's Filthy Earth Reincarnation Technique.
At the same time, on the sea of trees in the distance, the black-robed man in flight suddenly let out a trace of surprise, and immediately returned to his hand to take the skeleton staff behind him, and the skull on it suddenly glowed, and a gloomy aura permeated.
Immediately, I saw a tall and hideous ghost figure appear behind the black-robed man, and he grabbed the void.
Suddenly, I saw an illusory figure, floating out of the black gas next to the black-robed man, if you look closely, you can vaguely see that the illusory figure is Mo Lao.
"Close!" The black-robed man let out a low shout, and Mo Lao's illusory shadow was suddenly sucked into the huge ghost shadow, and then turned into a cloud of ghostly light, retracted into the reddish-brown skull and disappeared.
……
"What's next?" Luo Chen was a little confused, he never expected that this kind of thing would happen, Mo Lao was forcibly taken away by that guy who was not a ghost or a ghost.
Although he can be reincarnated and resurrected Mo Lao in the future, there is no container for reincarnation at the moment, so there is no way to resurrect Mo Lao.
Moreover, this is the domain of the Southern Wilderness, not a human society, there are more demon beasts here than humans, and those who have the courage to come here are probably stronger than themselves, so it is conceivable that it is almost impossible for them to find the reincarnation container.
In other words, I can only go alone next.
"Gotta get out of here!" Looking at the deep forest around him, listening to the sound of beast roars coming from time to time in the distance, Luo Chen felt a trace of fear for the first time in his heart, he didn't seem to be a timid person, but his reason told him that in this dangerous forest, it was really difficult for him to survive with his own strength.
Even if he immediately returned the same way now, the road ahead was still very dangerous, and it was unknown whether he would be able to get out of this mountain range alive......
Luo Chen shook his head, putting aside the fear in his heart, not thinking about the dangers that might occur, he immediately turned around and walked vigilantly in the direction he came.
"Be careful, be careful!" Luo Chen warned himself in his heart that only by being careful could he avoid the danger in time, his pace was as slow as possible, his spirit was highly concentrated, and every few steps he took would carefully confirm whether the road ahead was safe before he continued to move forward.
Night gradually fell on the earth, the light in the woods quickly dimmed, and soon the surroundings fell into darkness, the vision was blocked, and it was difficult for Luo Chen to accurately judge the surrounding situation, and the Southern Wilderness Domain at night was actually more dangerous, so Luo Chen did not dare to move forward easily.
In addition, Luo Chen's nerves were tense before, and he was also very tired at this time, so he could only stop advancing, but despite this, he didn't dare to sleep, so he could only quietly climb to a lush tree to hide his figure.
As the night deepened, there was a small sound in the grass under the trees from time to time, as if something was crawling in it, and there seemed to be something dangling in the big trees not far away, and the cries of various beasts were heard at that time, which added a sense of crisis to the night.
Luo Chen's nervous mood never dared to relax, he had to be vigilant, and he didn't even dare to breathe, because he knew that many demon beasts could also see far away at night, and even some demon beasts could come with breath, so this night, Luo Chen didn't know what kind of unpredictable danger he would encounter.
Darkness always makes people fear themselves, and the human imagination will magnify the fear infinitely, sometimes, it may just be a gust of wind blowing through the grass, but the imagination will even think of it as a giant python crawling through it, which is an instinct produced by human evolution.
"It's going to be fine, Luo Chen, you have to stay calm, don't be defeated by fear, don't scare yourself with cranky thoughts, you can definitely get out of here alive, absolutely can!" Luo Chen constantly comforted and encouraged himself in his heart, because sometimes despair is more terrible than death.
In this way, in the tension, Luo Chen finally waited until the sky was white, the terrible night finally passed, the sun swept away the fear in Luo Chen's heart, he looked around carefully, and after confirming that the surroundings were safe, he came down from the tree, and then continued to walk forward slowly.
……
I don't know how long I walked, Luo Chen's stomach suddenly screamed, and the feeling of hunger swept over, in fact, since Mo Lao was not there yesterday, because of nervousness, he has not eaten, and at this time his body finally protested, and the hunger continued to hit, making Luo Chen's mood become anxious.
"Let's stop and eat something!" Luo Chen knew that when a person was extremely hungry, it would be difficult to even concentrate mentally, and he would become anxious, which would be detrimental to his own safety.
So he quietly hid under a big tree, took out the mutton that had been roasted before, wrapped it in a true qi flame and heated it, and then ate it.
Delicious food can always make people's mood better, and even sweep away anxiety, with a mouthful of fragrant barbecue, Luo Chen suddenly felt that uneasy mood was much better.
"It smells so good!" At this moment, a child-like voice suddenly came from above Luo Chen's head.
Luo Chen's face changed in fright, and he immediately jumped up from the ground, looked at the place where the voice came from vigilantly, and shouted, "What person?" ”
Before Luo Chen's words fell, he saw an orange figure jumping down from the big tree, and it turned out to be ......
"A cat!"
