Chapter 9: The First Entry into the Ghost Forest
Xu Guandao stood in front of the ghost forest and recalled the experience of the past two days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter listening to Sikong Haoran's speech that day, I started to study in the afternoon. He used his spare time to study the skeleton bone melting technique given to him by the scholar to ensure that he could use it initially before deciding to enter the ghost forest.
The relationship between the four people in the dormitory was much more harmonious, and the most obvious thing was that Tang Jing, the head snake, no longer had nothing to do but look for superiority in Emperor Gu Qing. Emperor Gu Qing will not raise his noble head and look down on the heroes of the world. Zhang Tianshi never lost his temper again, he never took the initiative to speak, but if you talk to him, he will definitely answer.
In the martial arts array, he was still abused by the bear king.
He specially inquired, Sikong Allure has not seen the city for a day, and he should have entered the ghost forest a day earlier than himself.
Xu Guandao's entry into the ghost forest was not only because of the test of scholars, but also because of Lou Gongzi's instructions. The body is the capital of the revolution, and if the foundation is not solid in the early stage, it will take more time to make up for it in the later stage. His accumulation in the Divine Body Realm is extremely strong, and Lou Gongzi said that he is already stronger than the Wang Array and Xuanyuan Wushuang in the same realm, but he has not yet reached the limit. At that time, he asked how to reach the limit, and Lou Gongzi's answer was to learn the art of skeleton bone melting and enter the ghost forest.
It is said that the ghost forest was once a battlefield, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were slaughtered alive, and the corpses of millions of troops decomposed to form countless miasma, corpse gas, and resentment, and few people could enter and exit safely. Later, because someone created the skull bone melting technique, the Star Academy began to transform this battlefield, and the transformation took nearly ten years.
Xu Guandao walked into the ghost forest, and a pungent smell wafted into his nostrils, and the rancid smell was disgusting. He looked up at the sparse sunlight through the trees and frowned, this was the edge, and he didn't know what difficulties would be encountered in the future.
Along the way, Xu Guandao found that the Star Academy had preserved many of its original features when it renovated the ghost forest. When oil pots, iron chains, knife mountains, blood pools, and piles of skulls appeared in front of him one after another, Xu Guandao understood why everyone said that the ghost forest was purgatory on earth. Even in the daytime, the sun is shining, and there are still legends of ghost forests in the academy, such as skeletons that have not been touched for a hundred years will suddenly wake up and attack you, and the poison in the blood pool will make people lose their bones, when you see the oil pot, iron chain, knife mountain, blood pool, skeleton and a big house in one place, it means that you are close to death. The vivid stories are creepy.
Even though Xu Guandao had recognized the danger of the Ghost Forest, Tang Jing still reminded him that the Ghost Forest was by no means a playground where catching a few skeletons and practicing the Skeleton Bone Melting Technique was over, it was full of dangers, and all objects in the field of vision must be carefully guarded against, because they could all be your messengers, and the first time the Wang Array came in, he almost couldn't get out.
Seeing the danger of the ghost forest with his own eyes, Xu Guandao can even imagine how tragic the war was back then, and only the blood, fire, rivers and mountains can create this ghost forest full of bones.

The sound of the branch breaking came into his ears, causing Xu Guandao's already tense nerves to immediately reach the highest point of the realm.
He began to look around cautiously, because he knew very well that the ghost forest was rumored to be so dangerous, but there were still many people who went in and came out. That means that most of the dangers in the ghost forest can be avoided, so the most terrifying thing in the ghost forest is not the dead things such as oil pots, iron chains, knife mountains, and blood pools, but living things with thoughts, such as ...... Person!
After seeing that it was just a snake crushing the rotten branches, Xu Guandao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.
There are two places where there are no rules in the eight places of trial of the Starry Sky Academy, the first is the most difficult to break into the Tower of Death, and the second is the Ghost Forest. Among the eight places of trial, there are very few who dare to break into the Tower of Death, so the Ghost Forest has become the place with the most deaths.
In such a dangerous place, there is always nothing wrong with being careful.
On his way, he saw many skeletons with intact bodies, but they were either in pools of blood or in cauldrons of oil burning with a faint green fire. He tried to throw a branch into it, and in a few moments the branch was gone. It takes too much time to get these materials to prepare, and Xu Guandao is not prepared to waste time on this.
Walking further inside, Xu Guandao found scattered discarded weapons placed on the ground in different postures. He hesitated, and instead of taking his sword, he picked up a rusty spear that would have made it easier to pick a skeleton out of a pot of oil or a pool of blood. However, he was not in a hurry, this was the first day of entering the ghost forest, and it was too hasty to practice the technique of skeleton bone melting before he was even familiar with the environment.
On the first day, Xu Guandao only met two people, who were wary of each other, did not approach, did not talk, just nodded from a distance and went their separate ways.
As night fell, the field of vision that the eyes could see became smaller and smaller, but the ghost fires flickering everywhere were as lush as stars.
The night hid the danger deeper, and Xu Guandao, who was alone, seemed more cautious. Because he knew that darkness could easily lure human fear, greed, and malice, especially in places like the Ghost Forest.
But the night is also a natural cover, and Xu Guandao began to act. He returned the way he came, found a skeleton, stabbed it out, and struck it up. With one shot, the skeleton in the oil pan jumped out and leaned against the trunk of a nearby tree. He began to observe and set up a cordon, and after half an hour, to make sure that there were no creatures around that could threaten his life, he approached the dry skeleton and prepared to try the skeleton bone melting technique for the first time.
There are two ways to cultivate the Skeleton Bone Melting Technique, one is to absorb the power of the skeleton and sand the skeleton. The other is to completely absorb the entire skeleton and fuse it into your own bones, and if necessary, restore the skeleton. The latter type has higher requirements for skeletons, and only one skeleton is absorbed at a time, which is not cost-effective. Generally speaking, only dark martial artists or magicians who don't want to waste too much time on physical refining will choose the second method.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as skeletons that have evolved to a certain level, and their effects are stronger than ordinary skeletons for a long time, so decisively choose the second one. But this is a rare situation.
Xu Guandao checked it, and as expected, this skeleton did not have much energy. He placed his hand on the skull, and the palm glowed with a faint green light, and then he saw the skeleton's bones slide down from the palm like sand. Xu Guandao felt a force rushing into his body, washing away his flesh and muscles. He tried to bring this power together, but was never successful, and in the end, the energy was dispersed in all parts of his body and merged with him.
As the progress deepened, all parts of Xu Guandao's body began to bulge in an orderly manner. He could feel it himself, it felt like parts of his body were out of control. At the most dangerous time, he almost gave up his cultivation, but fortunately they all came back under control in the end.
An hour later, the bone melt was complete, and the intact skeleton was scattered to the ground in sand-like mass.
Xu Guandao tried the strength and strength of his body, and was pleasantly surprised to find that both of them had increased significantly, and if he continued, the strength of the Divine Body Realm that had almost reached the limit would increase. He couldn't help but be happy, the Skeleton Bone Melting Technique was worthy of being the most practical basic exercise, Lou Gongzi tried his best to help him improve the power of the Divine Body Realm, but the Skeleton Bone Melting Technique actually succeeded, it was really magical.
However, due to being on alert all day, extremely tired physically and mentally, and in need of effective rest, Xu Guandao dispelled the idea of continuing to cultivate. It's just that the danger of the ghost forest was spread so mysteriously that he didn't dare to really sleep and relax his body and mind a little.
......
Chen Tianlu looked up at Fang Liang, tilted his head, a smile cracked at the corner of his mouth, and said in the empty room, "Are you sure he entered the ghost forest?"
A shrill voice came from the gloomy air: "He entered the ghost forest this morning and hasn't come out all day, I suspect he has some mission." ”
Chen Tianlu smiled coldly: "That day, Jian Million took him, and it was obvious that the scholar gave him a test, and the location was in the Ghost Forest." The scholar's test is notoriously difficult, so I'll add a little more difficulty to him on top of that. In this way, you can immediately take someone to the ghost forest to catch him back for me, try to catch him alive, if it is really not possible, you can also bring the corpse back to me. Speaking of this, Chen Tianlu's face was already distorted, and he gritted his teeth and continued: "I want him to know what a stupid decision he made!"
"Yes!"
The room returned to calm, only Chen Tianlu's hideous face distorted by hatred remained, and when he saw Xu Guandao again, the flame of revenge in his heart burned, and the flame of revenge burned his reason little by little, leaving only the crazy consciousness of pure revenge.
He's a madman!
......
Perform the martial arts array. The old man frowned, pacing back and forth anxiously. It stands to reason that the kid should have come a long time ago, why didn't he come in tonight, could it be that he had encountered an accident? He had gone through the wind and rain, and ordinary things had long been unable to pry his iron heart, but in this young man, he had already made too heavy a bet. Bullshit!
"What I want to do, no one can stop it!" the old man looked at the sky viciously.
He sat down cross-legged, took out a pen and paper, wrote a few words on it, rolled up the paper, flicked it at random, and the roll flew out, flying less than a meter before disappearing into thin air.
After doing this, the old man began to close his eyes and recuperate, and it was not until the sky turned white that he got up and went outside.
