Chapter 11 The Ghost Forest
Thinking more is big, and no matter how much ambition there is, it can't withstand the life in front of you. Now that you've decided on your direction, it's time to start your journey.
The monotonous life of the past month has really bored him.
In the early morning, looking at the gentle breeze and the boundless desert, Chu You decided to set off immediately.
First, I used to refine the dragon's teeth every day and give myself a little vacation. Second, I haven't moved much these days, so I should deepen my understanding of the Hungry Ghost Dao.
The Hungry Ghost Road is so big, you should go and see it.
Looking at the sky, it was dark in the west and bright in the north. The farther west you go, the more eerie it feels, and the farther north you go, the more the sand howls.
After thinking about it for a while, Chu You still headed to the west.
A qualified warrior will never be afraid of unknown ghosts. No matter how dangerous the west is, it is just an experience in his life.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. There are many ghosts and monsters ahead, and the sword is drawn and demons are slain.
Of course, the main purpose of going west is to make it more humid. In his experience, water sources are more likely to appear there.
In the past month, it can be said that there is no water, although the zombies will not be thirsty, but not to mention the dirtiness of the body, even the body has begun to be unbearable.
His skin was now dry and stiff, like an old layer of bark. It's still uncomfortable to move, and if it continues like this, it will have to be a dry corpse.
In this way, Chu You traveled westward for three days, walking for hundreds of miles.
As expected, the sky grew darker and darker, and the ground beneath my feet began to get wet. By the early morning of the fourth day, there were actually a few plants under his feet.
Of course, there are no living beings in the Hungry Ghost Path. Even the plants are demon roots and ghost grasses condensed by resentment.
Chu You squatted down and picked up a piece of grass. When I took it in the palm of my hand and looked at it carefully, I saw that a layer of black gas was shrouded in it, and a miserable woman's face faintly appeared.
"What a sin, everyone else is a spirit of resentment and you are a grass. ”
Chu You shrugged his shoulders, blew off the floating soil on it, and threw it into his mouth and chewed it.
Under the munch, bursts of sharp wails came into my heart.
"If I were a mortal, I might be scared to death, but unfortunately I am a demon who is more vicious than you. ”
After swallowing the ghost grass in one gulp, the hunger in his heart actually weakened in the slightest. It seems that Chu You really devoured a ghost just now.
"If you are a ghost again, remember to be a ghost. Even if it's a plant, it's at least a bigger tree. lest you lose your own life. ”
In a leisurely voice, the figure walked into the distance.
Chu You didn't care about the life that he had just wiped out casually, the way of the world was like this, since he was not a good person, then he should be a good person.
Thinking back to the woman's face just now, destroying all this may be unbearable for mortals, but it is normal for a demon king.
Moreover, there are thousands of people in the world who strangled the grass to death, and every grass is innocent. Not doing bad things is often not good, but not having the ability to do bad things.
True evil is sometimes more precious than false good.
After ravaging a small grass with his hands, Chu You had no intention of eating it again.
The grass is resentful, and the taste is like traditional Chinese medicine. Under the chewing, there is an inexplicable sadness.
"I hope she can live a better life in the next life. ”
Although he muttered casually, he knew in his heart that there would be no next life if he died in the Hungry Ghost Dao.
After a hiccup, we continued our march to the west. On the way, he deliberately trampled on a few of the same grasses.
Slowly, I walked for dozens of miles.
The air around me is getting wetter and wetter, and the grass around is no longer dotted. Low bushes grew in dense places.
It won't take long to find the right source of water.
Continue to walk, another dozen miles.
Slowly, the surrounding vegetation became more and more dense, and the humidity in the air became more and more intense. There are even ghost trees that have appeared.
These ghost trees are only the thickness of the bowl mouth at first, and they all have the tendency to hug each other when they come to the end.
Looking up, the sun overhead was covered with dense foliage. The surroundings are like rainforests.
Looking at these, he was a little embarrassed. Chu You was originally a baby in the mountains, if he hadn't eaten that fruit, he might have lived in such an environment for the rest of his life.
At that time, the spirit fruit was like an accident in his life. And his own ghost eye turned it into an unexpectedly unexpected accident.
When he was young in a mountain village, when his parents quarreled, Xiao Chuyou would hide in the mountains and forests. Although it is dangerous, it always gives him a sense of security. But there is not the slightest safety in this ghost forest.
The ghost tree is like a ghost grass, gloomy and dead, and the branches are scurrying. The branches stretched out were dry and slender, like emaciated skeletal claws. On each trunk is a strange human face composed of large and small tree holes.
The sun of the Hungry Ghost Road was already gloomy, and under the shade of these dense branches, the surrounding environment was even darker.
Chu You has heavy pupil ghost eyes and can see things at night. The darkness was nothing, but the uncomfortable thing was the eyes that looked at him in the darkness.
If walking on the wasteland is like licking blood on the tip of a knife, then here you will survive in the poisonous mist.
Shaking his head, he shook the dragon tooth in his hand and continued to walk forward. If he was afraid of anything, he wouldn't be alive now.
Now it's different, and every step is a big and small ghost grass. There was a rustling sound when you stepped on it. However, because there were enough of them, they could no longer hear the screams.
The humidity in the air was getting heavier and heavier, and after walking for a long time, Chu You could almost feel that there was a gurgling stream in the center of this forest.
But at this moment, there were bursts of miserable crying in my ears.
The crying was intermittent and very sad. But the forest is deep and there are many trees. But I can't tell which direction it's coming from. The fluttering echo gives people the illusion of being in all directions.
Or, from all directions. This sad cry may be the voice of every ghost grass and every ghost tree.
"Ghost night crying, who to scare!"
Chu You spat lightly and didn't care. Back then, refining magic weapons was to use tens of thousands of resentful spirits.
Although the posture is bluffing, he is not afraid. To take a step is to move on.
After walking another three or two miles, the crying in my ears still did not stop. But for some reason, it has vaguely changed its taste. It's like there's something mixed in.
The sad weeping in the past turned into a sad cry at some point. The tone of the voice is long and interspersed with some turns.
And on the road, there was a rustling sound. The voice was short and thin, and it was never his footsteps.
However, Lin Shenshu was big, and Chu You didn't care.
Chu You walked like this, if he turned back by chance, he would definitely find small green lanterns scattered behind him.
He didn't walk fast, and danger was everywhere in the unknown forest. All along, there has always been a glimmer of spirit to guard against the dangers around you.
