Chapter 41: The Netherworld

Standing in the sky, Feng Ruo still felt that all this was a little unreal, until now, his eyes continued to flash the expressions of Zhou Yu and the others after hearing Mu Feixue's words, shocked, incredible, dazed, confused, envious, jealous, hate...... It's just varied, it's hard to describe, and even Feng Ruo himself feels extremely ridiculous!

The wind in his ears whirred by, and the clouds drifted away quickly, this is the speed of the seventh-level Qingpeng, but it is only a little worse than the flight of the imperial sword in the Jindan period, according to Mu Feixue, this Qingpeng is an ancient beast, rare in the world, with great growth potential, and she only got it by chance because of fate.

The position where Feng Ruo was sitting was the backmost position on Na Qingpeng's back, with his back to Mu Feixue and the others in front, it seemed that this would make him less embarrassed, because it was really difficult for him to resist the strange gazes of the nine female disciples of the Third Academy!

Of course, he didn't really care about these things in his heart, he just wanted to find out, was it Mu Feixue who brought him into this training team?

Intentionally or unintentionally?

Silence all the way.

Seven or eight hours later, the speed of the Qingpeng gradually slowed down, and the wind blowing from the front was still cold, but there was a strange smell in this wind!

This kind of smell is not unfamiliar to Feng Ruo, he had encountered Tang Qing and others when he was in Qingyun Mountain, that was a ghoul!

Soon, Na Qingpeng landed on an open hill, looking ahead, but it was dark and gloomy, even the starlight was blocked, and occasionally there were several extremely terrible howls coming from that direction, which made people can't help but be creepy!

There is no doubt that this place is the Netherwood!

"Ning Yao, you are here tonight, do you have any questions?"

Feng Ruo and the others had just jumped off Qingpeng, and Mu Feixue commanded coldly.

"Yes, Uncle Xue!but—where are you going?" Ning Yao of the Lingshan Courtyard was a little surprised, although her cultivation was the highest among all of them, but this place was so close to the Netherworld Forest, if there was really any accident at night, she might not be sure to fight!

"I have some things to attend to, I'll be back after dawn, and by that time, the other two teams should have arrived, and then we'll go into the depths of the Netherworld!"

Mu Feixue explained casually, and then drove that Qingpeng to disappear into the night, leaving only Feng Ruo and the others who looked at each other!

After a long time, Ning Yao and the others came back to their senses.

"Uncle Xue is too irresponsible, isn't she? She is the uncle who led the team, but she left us at the edge of this Netherworld, I heard that there is a corpse king in this Netherworld, if we run into it-"

A female disciple of the Third Courtyard said with some horror, and immediately let everyone else fight a cold war.

"What nonsense? The Corpse King is at least comparable to the existence of the Jindan Period, how can you have such good luck to meet the Corpse King? You haven't killed those ghouls yet? Immediately set up the positive and negative nine-star formation, we are too close to the edge of the Netherworld Forest now, and most of us will be attacked by a small group of ghouls at night!"

That Ning Yao was extremely calm, and immediately commanded the other female disciples to arrange the formation!

"That Feng Ruo, you go chop some firewood and come back!

"Oh!"

Feng Ruo nodded, but he didn't say anything, he turned around and walked in the direction of the Netherworld, because all the areas around this hill were bare, and there were only trees in the Netherworld Forest a few hundred zhang away!

"This place is really eerie and disgusting!"

Before I walked down the hill, before I got close to the netherworld forest, the soil under the ground became a little muddy, giving people the feeling of being slippery, like moss that had been soaked for decades!

Moreover, the smell of rot is getting stronger and stronger, there is no way, Feng Ruo has to hold his breath, fortunately, now he has enough mana, even if he holds his breath for a few hours, there is no problem!

Of course, Feng Ruo did not dare to take it lightly, although it was the first time he came to this Netherworld Forest, but he would not be a stranger to this place, it is said that this place used to be a vast basin, which had an extremely vicious Netherworld miasma, so it was named Netherworld Forest, but later the army of the demon world accidentally rushed through the Five Elements Realm, and as a result, it took root here.

Later, the immortal cultivation world dispatched a large number of masters to encircle and suppress it several times, and finally eliminated the high-level demons here, but because the ghostly miasma here is extremely suitable for the survival of those low-level demons, the low-level demons here are almost endless, and in desperation, the five major sects of the immortal cultivation world had to give up, and then used this place as a place for low-level disciples to practice!

The most common thing in this Netherworld Forest is a fourth-level ghoul, whose strength is equivalent to that of a cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining, this thing is not a spirit beast, it is not even a life, it is just a combination of Netherworld Miasma and decaying dry bones, once formed, it is a fourth-level ghoul! It is said that countless fourth-level ghouls will be added in this way every day in this Netherworld, so this thing can be seen everywhere, and it is in groups, which is the most troublesome thing for experienced disciples.

In addition to these uncountable fourth-level ghouls, there are also a large number of fifth-level to ninth-level ghouls in this Netherworld! The strength of these ghouls is about the same as that of cultivators in the early and late stages of foundation building, and they already have a little spiritual intelligence, and they can even command a large number of fourth-level ghouls, and once they encounter them, they will be extremely difficult!

And above the ninth-level ghouls, there is the corpse king whose strength is equivalent to that of the master of the Jindan stage, not only has extremely high spiritual intelligence, but also has a very terrifying strength, and has the ability to infect ordinary mortals into ghouls, and even sometimes, even cultivators are not spared.

However, even if this Netherworld Forest is extremely terrifying, it still can't stop many cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm from coming to hunt and kill! In addition to the fact that various sects and sects often use this place as a place of training, many scattered cultivators will also form demon hunting teams to go deep into this place!

The reason is the Five Element Stones in the bodies of these ghouls!

It seems that no one knows why these ghouls and even the demons of the demon world love the Five Elements Stone as much as the human immortal cultivators? Human cultivators need the Five Elements Stones of various castes to strengthen their sword weapons, flying swords, and magic weapons, and those demons regard the Five Elements Stones of various castes as a delicacy to improve their own strength!

Therefore, when the two sides met in the Five Elements Realm, where the Five Elements Stone was extremely rich, it was a tragic battle that would never end!

Unless one side completely erases the other from this world!

"Smack!"

An extremely slight sound came from the darkness in the distance, which immediately made Feng Ruo's heart skip a beat! If he had a choice, he really didn't like to approach this Netherworld Forest in this dark night, but listening to Mu Feixue's tone before, Feng Ruo was sure that the reason why she left was just to deliberately disgust and scare them, experience, she was always protected, but she couldn't get the best experience!

I listened to it for a long time, but there was no sound coming from it, not even on the hill hundreds of feet away, and it seemed that the whole world was in endless chaos at this moment.

"Chopping wood? What kind of reason is this?"

Hard-headed, Feng Ruo continued to touch forward, now even if he has enough eyesight, he can only see the range of more than ten zhang, but fortunately, he has already been optimistic about the direction on the hill before, so he doesn't have to worry about getting lost.

It wasn't until he approached a dead tree surrounded by seven or eight people that Feng Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he wanted to reach out and take out the Ben Thunder Sword that had strengthened the metal surname Zhongpin Five Elements Stone, he heard a "whew", and several black shadows swooped down from the dead tree without saying a word!

"Khooth!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Feng Ruo quickly unleashed his sword technique, and the Phantom Sword came out of its sheath, sweeping through the several black shadows at a rapid speed!

"Dingding!"

The extremely crisp sound of sword weapons clashing suddenly came, and Feng Ruo's phantom sword was actually blocked out in an instant!

"It's a cultivator!" Feng Ruo was stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped the Phantom Sword that was about to continue attacking, and then quickly flew backwards!

"Stop!

With an extremely low shout, several black shadows on the opposite side also stopped their attacks in time.

"Don't speak loudly, there is a large group of fourth-level ghouls around here! I am a disciple of the Nine Gods Palace, I don't know who Your Excellency is-"

As soon as Feng Ruo wanted to answer, he heard Ning Yao shouting on the hill, "Feng Ruo, what happened?"

Obviously, she heard the sword exchange just now!

"Oops! This sound will definitely alarm that large group of fourth-level ghouls, let's go to the hill quickly!" said the disciples of the Nine Divine Palace, as they swept towards the hill, the speed was extremely fast!

And Feng Ruo didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately followed closely, but at this time, he heard a large "whirring" sound faintly sounding in the woods behind, accompanied by the sound of "boom" stepping on the ground!

A distance of several hundred zhang rushed up at the speed of Feng Ruo and a few people, and at this time, Ning Yao and the others on the hill had also noticed the movement in the woods below the hill!

"Feng Ruo, who are they? What's going on?Where did you run away just now, and why did you attract a large group of fourth-level ghouls back?"

As soon as they met, Ning Yao asked angrily.

"This fellow Daoist, this matter has nothing to do with him, it was we who attracted that large group of ghouls, but it is useless to say more at this time, there are at least thousands of ghouls in this large group, let's find a way to get through this level first!"

Before Feng Ruo could explain, a disciple headed by the Nine Divine Palace took the lead.

"What? thousands? No, we can't kill so many ghouls at all! Everyone immediately unblock the flying mounts and leave!" Ning Yao immediately ordered.

"Can't leave!Senior Sister Ning, the other two teams will come after dawn, if we leave like this, won't we be separated from them, and when the time comes, our experience will be ruined!"

At this time, Feng Ruo suddenly said loudly, because he had an intuition that Mu Feixue didn't really leave, in other words, all this was still just an experience, and besides, the appearance of thousands of ghouls and these disciples of the Nine Divine Palace was too coincidental!

So he would rather gamble, relying on his trust in Mu Feixue!

"Yes! Even if we leave in a flying spirit beast now, it's too late to leave, as far as I know, there are hundreds of flying fifth-level ghouls in this group of ghouls! So we might as well rely on the support of the formation here! As long as we support it until dawn, reinforcements will arrive at this gate!"

The disciple headed by the Nine Divine Palace was also persuaded.

"Hmph, you don't give me nonsense, if you want to stay, stay, when Uncle Xue leaves, let me be in charge of everything, junior sisters, let's go!"

As Ning Yao spoke, he took the lead in releasing the flying spirit beast and flew in the opposite direction of the Netherworld, while the rest of the female disciples of the Third Courtyard also followed, and in the blink of an eye, only Feng Ruo and the three Nine Divine Palace disciples were left on this hill!
