The area of the ancient forest is not large, but it looks like it has existed for thousands of years in a radius of more than 20 miles. Each ancient tree is unusually thick and tall, with a continuous and huge canopy blocking most of the sunlight, and the light in the trees is dim and very cold, and it is usually inaccessible. The route seemed dangerous, but the caravan that walked through knew that the ancient forest seemed terrifying, but in fact, there were no creatures at all, only the deathly silence and the stench of rotting leaves.

But even so, no caravan ever rested in the woods, and they all passed through here quickly. Because this forest will give people a strong sense of oppression, as if the whole forest is a terrifying wild beast, people don't want to stay here at all.

As for when the legendary evil thing appeared, no one can say who is specific. However, it is true that many passing caravans have seen ghosts and the like here, and a large number of people have been sucked away from life and turned into dried corpses. Many caravans suffered great losses, and even their people and goods were lost in the ancient forests.

For a time, the ancient forest also became a dangerous place in the southbound trade route of Youzhou.

The ancient forest is so close to Zhenmaguan, there is an abnormality here, and the Zhang family also sent monks to find out at the first time, but the results of the investigation, the Zhang family has never announced it to the public, and this matter has been cast a bit of intriguing color.

What's even more surprising is that the Zhang family also stationed a small team of guards at the entrance of the ancient forest. Recently, the Zhang family rarely operates in the west of Zhenmaguan, because it is no longer the territory of Youzhou after leaving Zhenmaguan, and in the current situation, the Zhang family does not want to give others the illusion that they want to expand.

Now that the guards of the Zhang family will appear here, it is enough to show that there is indeed a problem in the ancient forest.

The number of guards of the Zhang family was only twenty, all of them were cultivators in the Qi cultivation period, and under the leadership of a foundation building period monk, they were stationed on a rocky beach outside the ancient forest. The centaurs were nominally protecting the caravans, but they ignored the passing caravans and kept an eye on the ancient woods.

Zhang Xiaoshan has found that everyone in the caravan is nervous since last night, and it seems that everyone is still afraid of the ancient forest. He himself had come into contact with these evil things several times, and knew that this kind of thing was indeed difficult to deal with. With such a large caravan, if you don't prepare in advance, once you rush into the woods tomorrow, you don't know what kind of chaotic scene will appear. Therefore, last night he sent Yuan Wei and Yuan Wu to enter the ancient forest first, and in front of the two great demons of the Tribulation Period, there was no demon to be presumptuous.

At the beginning of the day, the two returned to the camp calmly, telling Zhang Xiaoshan that the evil in the forest had been completely expelled by the two, and now there was no danger in the woods.

According to the two of them, there are indeed more than a dozen illusory ghosts in the ancient forest, which is a kind of ghost turned into a ghost after the fall of the monk, and the strength of ordinary illusory ghosts is around the foundation building period, once they have absorbed enough of the life qi of ninety-nine people, they can advance to the black scale ghosts, and the strength is around the Jindan period, and the ghosts at this time have already opened their spiritual wisdom and become more difficult to deal with. However, they did not find the existence of black-scaled ghosts and above ghosts in the ancient forest, and it was thought that the number of people who sucked these ghosts was not enough, so they did not advance.

Zhang Xiaoshan did not make a noise about this matter, he did not feel that this was a big deal, he accepted the employment, and he had the obligation to maintain the safety of the caravan.

In this way, after dawn on the second day, the caravan of Juxian Tower began to set off. They walked all the way, and it took only half an hour to cover ten miles, and at last they saw the vast woods at the end of the road.

Under the sunlight, the tall canopy of the ancient forest emitted a speckled light, which looked brilliant and there was no sense of fear at all.

The camp of the Zhang family was at the entrance of the ancient forest, and the guards inside were practicing their own exercises, and no one paid attention to the caravan of Juxian Tower.

Surrounded by several guards, the caravan slowly entered the ancient forest, and Zhang Xiaoshan and several other loose cultivators also rode on their horses and guarded the periphery under the behest of Liu Zhangshi.

As soon as Fang entered the ancient forest, everyone felt that this place was different from the outside world, and everyone had an uncomfortable feeling, even a monk like Zhang Xiaoshan immediately felt a cool air from all around, and this cool air penetrated into the body, making people feel a great chill, and their own divine thoughts were also greatly affected.

This feeling inevitably reminded Zhang Xiaoshan of the ancient forest outside the Lieyan Gate in the Thousand Demon Mountain Range, the two gave people the feeling that they were so similar, the difference was that this ancient forest did not have any sound at all, and it seemed more secluded. However, the negative feelings caused to the person here are much stronger.

Zhang Xiaoshan still remembered that in the ancient forests of the Thousand Demon Mountain Range, there lived a demon cultivator, holding a powerful magic weapon such as the "Greed Bead" in his hand, and he had mutilated countless living beings for thousands of years, but it had been eradicated by Xiao Wu.

"Chirp..."Zhang Xiaoshan was recalling the events of the Thousand Demon Mountain Range, and there was a sudden strange sound in the woods, as if something was moving rapidly around, and sometimes it chirped.

The caravan was immediately chaotic, especially the ordinary handymen, whose faces were even pale, and their bodies trembled like chaff, and they could barely stand. The samurai who were guarding the guards also held up all kinds of evil spirit-repellent items in their hands, and some of them also knocked and beaten, making a lot of noise, and the horses also felt the abnormality around them, and kept digging the ground with their hind limbs, and kept making noises in their mouths, and all of them refused to continue walking, and if it were not for the timely suppression of the samurai, some of the horses would have run away on their own, and in short, the whole caravan was in chaos.

"Master, I'll take a look!" Hotaru said, then turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared in an instant when everyone panicked.

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't have time to instruct at all, and Firefly Huang had already flown out of the range of divine consciousness transmission.

However, it seems that Firefly's departure has no effect, because those strange sounds are still ringing around.

The caravan's samurai all drew their weapons and stared nervously at the surrounding woods. Although it was morning, the forest was still a little dark, and it was impossible to see it from a distance. The more this happens, the more likely it is to create fear. Deep in the dark woods, it was as if something was going to rush out in the next moment.

The Yuan brothers walked to Zhang Xiaoshan's side and said, "Master, our brother didn't lie, we did expel all the ghosts in this place last night!"

"I trust you, but it looks like there's something else in the woods!"

"This time, our brother has lost face, and I ask the master to give an order, let our brother go and see what's going on!" Yuan Wu said angrily.

"I don't need you, Hotaru Huang has already gone, she has lived in the dark valley all the year round, and she has long adapted to the dark environment, with her skills, there will be results soon!"

As soon as Zhang Xiaoshan finished speaking, suddenly a huge explosion sounded in the depths of the woods, and the entire forest seemed to tremble.

"Haha..."Before everyone understood what the explosion was about, there was a loud burst of laughter in the woods, followed by a hoarse voice, "You demon girl, you have been following the old man, could it be that you have taken a fancy to me! The old man hasn't been close to a woman in seven hundred years!"

"Boom", "Bang", "Click!"

Zhang Xiaoshan frowned and listened to the surrounding voices, his inference just now was indeed not wrong, there is indeed a more terrifying existence than ghosts in this forest, listening to the voice, it should be a male monk, and the cultivation is not under the firefly, no wonder the monks sent by the Zhang family can not find anything wrong when they enter the woods, and there are still many ways for a monk in the tribulation period to not let people find out.

"Look!" suddenly someone exclaimed, and everyone looked down where he was pointing, and they all saw a rich green light burst out of the woods.

The green light quickly disappeared, but there was a violent wind in the woods, blowing everyone swaying, and the wind was mixed with a disgusting fishy smell, which was thick and not dispersed, and permeated the entire woods, and everyone and horses were quickly smoked to the ground, only Zhang Xiaoshan, Tu Qianqian, and the Yuan brothers were not affected.

"I've learned your methods today, I'll come back another day!"

"Go and stop him!" Zhang Xiaoshan said to Yuan Wei.

The golden light on Yuan Wei's body flashed, and he quickly rose into the sky and flew towards the northwest.

Zhang Xiaoshan originally thought that the two monks of the Tribulation Period would definitely be able to catch the mysterious man back if they shot at the same time, but he didn't expect that after a quarter of an hour, Ying Huang and Yuan Wei came back with a look of shame, needless to say, under the joint efforts of the two, they even let the other party escape.

"What is the opponent's ability?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked as he looked at Hotaru Huang.

"Very strong!" Hotaru Huang said, "If it weren't for the spirit weapon given by the master, I wouldn't be that person's opponent at all!"

"Oh, so strong!" Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Yuan Wei, Yuan Wei was a great demon in the middle of the tribulation, and his strength was far superior to that of Yinghuang.

"That person is a demon cultivator, a cultivator in the middle of the tribulation, and he still holds a powerful magic weapon in his hand, if he fights to the death, the firefly girl is indeed not that person's opponent!"

"My Zhang family has not cultivated demonic skills, and I have never heard of such a character in the Sima family, why did this person appear here?" Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but be a little worried, after all, such a lonely big devil, once he sneaked into the hinterland of Youzhou, it was very likely to cause extremely serious damage.

"Master, someone is coming!" Yuan Wei said suddenly.

The next moment, a fierce sword aura swirled above the heads of several people, and a man in a black-robed Dao robe flew with a sword, standing on everyone's heads.

"Who is the demon, dare to do something here!"

"Beihuai senior!" Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the person above his head in shock.

The sword immortal who rushed over was Zhang Xiaoshan's old acquaintance, and Bei Huaixuan was also.

Bei Huaixuan also looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief, and stammered: "Stink... You're not dead!"
