Chapter 4: Dead Breath

After looking at the surrounding situation, Chu Yuan found that he was in a dense forest, and even the sunlight could not shine in under the shade of branches and leaves, causing the woods to be extremely dim, as if it was evening.

This is a dense primeval forest, the species of trees Chu Yuan is not clear, but they grow extremely lush and tall, almost all of them are more than twenty meters away, and there are also taller giant trees.

The trees here are very thick, and when you look into the forest, you can see large trees hugging several people everywhere, but these trees have a faint eerie aura.

Chu Yuan was very surprised in his heart, but he couldn't say why. So he shook his head helplessly, put aside the doubts in his heart, and ignored it for the time being since he didn't understand.

He bent his legs slightly, squatted down, and then rushed upwards with his body, and suddenly a huge force burst out from his legs.

Under the impetus of this huge force, Chu Yuan's whole person was like a cannonball out of the chamber, directly rising into the sky and jumping into the air at a height of more than ten meters.

He touched his tiptoes on the branch again, and with a little strength he jumped up again, and after a few ups and downs, the man had landed on the top of the tree.

"Hiss!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Chu Yuan couldn't help but let out a cold breath.

As far as his eyes could see, there was an endless vast sea of forests, lush primeval forests covering the entire land, even if Chu Yuan stood on a high place, he still couldn't see the end of the forest.

Chu Yuan roughly estimated that this forest was at least a few hundred kilometers away, and it was not so easy to get out of this forest, and in such an ancient primeval forest, I didn't know if there would be strange beasts.

"Well, what the hell is this place?"

Chu Yuan found a hidden place, sat down cross-legged, and began to recuperate the injuries in his body.

The remnants of the alien divine power in the wound in his body have been inhibiting his body's self-healing speed, and if he wants to recover from his injury, he must first remove these external forces.

But how easy is this? He has lost his divine power now, and it is too difficult to clear the invading divine power from his body when he has no divine power himself.

......

Time passed quietly unconsciously, Chu Yuan was still in his meditation, and the sky outside had already darkened. However, this has little effect on the forest, which is almost always dark.

As the sun set, there was a cold breath slowly rising in the forest, and wisps of faint gray mist lingered in the forest, and the temperature suddenly dropped a lot. Such an abnormal change woke up Chu Yuan, who was in the middle of concentration.

"It's the breath of death! Why is there so much death here all of a sudden?" Chu Yuan said in surprise.

Dead qi generally appears in the underworld, but rarely in the human world. Because the negative energy of dead air is suppressed by the sun, which is why the dead air in the forest gradually appears after the sun sets.

Death Qi has a strong corrosive effect on ordinary living beings, and will corrode the life breath in the body of living beings until they are killed, or they are transformed into monsters.

However, for Chu Yuan, he could easily be immune to the damage caused by the death qi to him, so he didn't have to worry about the impact of the death qi on him.

But the appearance of the dead qi still raised a trace of worry in his heart, the places where the dead qi existed were all dangerous places, and it was easy to breed some evil things, which might bring him a lot of threat.

If it had been placed in the past, Chu Yuan would have directly purified this place with his divine power, and when the time came, not to mention the evil things, even the dead qi would be dealt with cleanly, and there would be no place for any evil things.

It's a pity that it's very difficult for Chu Yuan now, most of the evil things born from the dead air are weird and very difficult, Chu Yuan doesn't want to get into trouble, as long as he waits until the sunrise tomorrow, the dead air will naturally subside.

Chu Yuan gathered his whole body's qi, curled up, and hid in a hidden corner, preparing to hide for a night like this, and then find a way to leave this forest tomorrow, this is not a place to stay for a long time.

When night fell, darkness completely enveloped the land, and the dead air became thicker and thicker, and even Chu Yuan felt a chill.

Fortunately, his cold-resistant attribute is still relatively high, and this cold does not affect him too much.

Now that this area had completely turned into a Netherworld Ghost Snake covered in death qi, Chu Yuan could no longer feel the energy of any other attributes, and the rich death qi repelled all other elements.

More and more dead qi also made Chu Yuan's heart slowly sink, the situation may be more serious than he imagined, this is not a movement that ordinary ghosts can make.

Chu Yuan was still quietly lurking in the dark, vigilantly observing his surroundings, and any wind and grass within a few dozen meters of the vicinity could not escape his perception.

Late at night.

A small movement finally appeared in a dead and silent forest, and several black shadows entered Chu Yuan's perception range, which lifted Chu Yuan's spirits when he was about to fall asleep.

"Ghosts!" Chu Yuan muttered secretly in his heart as he looked at the few dark shadows floating in front of him.

If you look at it with the naked eye, you can only see a black shadow, and you can't see the original form in the black fog, but under Chu Yuan's divine soul scanning, he can clearly see the true face under the black fog.

Two man-like ghosts floated past from the front, both delirious and confused.

It is estimated that their soul origin has almost dissipated, and their consciousness has been completely wiped out, if it were not for the nourishment of the dead qi here, I am afraid that their souls would have been scattered long ago.

You must know that ordinary souls cannot survive in the human world, and if they do not enter the underworld, their only fate is that their souls will collapse under the scorching sun, and disappear between heaven and earth.

Because of the presence of death here, these ghosts can survive. However, they don't know how to absorb the dead qi, so they can only passively accept the supplement of the dead qi, and sooner or later they will not escape their fate.

These two ghosts seem to have completely lost their memories of life, and only the last bit of the most quintessential soul origin energy remains, indicating that they are not far from dissipating.

The two ghosts wandered in the forest as if they were sleepwalking, and soon floated in front of Chu Yuan, not noticing Chu Yuan hidden in the shadows at all.

Seeing the two ghosts disappear from his sight, Chu Yuan clenched his fists and suppressed his urge to take them in action.

In his eyes, these ghosts were treasures, pure soul source energy, which was very useful to him, and could be used to save the invokers in the kingdom of God.

But after thinking about it again, Chu Yuan still didn't choose to make a move. In this unfamiliar environment, it is even more prudent to act.

What's more, he had just experienced a big lesson, and was driven down from the god platform by the gods, where could Chu Yuan be as unscrupulous as before, and his work was much more restrained.
