Chapter 16: The Demon Forest

Under the night sky, a horse galloped on the barren and desolate plain, and the two people on the seat, both of them looked gloomy and cried.

The sudden change dealt a heavy blow to Chihuang, where should he go in the future? It's only pitch black in front of you, where is the light burning? Where is the way out?

He who loses his direction will stagnate, and he can only stagnate.

……

Red Leaf City was originally a border town in the Ghost Flame Domain, and the Ghost Flame Domain was the junction of the Fire Dragon Domain in the south, the Golden Dragon Domain in the east, and the southeast demon forest, and the direction they were going in now was a border city at the junction of the Ghost Flame Domain and the southeast demon forest.

It's only a hundred miles away, as long as you go out of the border city, it's a vast and boundless demon forest area, unless the Ghost Yan clan has the eye of heaven to patrol the ground, it will be difficult to find their traces.

Considering the situation, he felt that he had run far enough distance, and breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as this breath came out, he felt someone chasing after him, and when he looked back, the person headed by the Ghost Yan Clan actually caught up?!

"How could this guy be so fast?"

Considering the situation, he immediately stepped up and distanced himself.

The people of the Ghost Yan Clan used the Divine Talisman to catch up with these two people, but unfortunately there was still a little distance, and the energy of the talisman was exhausted.

The dark horse was so extraordinary that he couldn't catch up with it with a rune.

"Damn! Give me death! He poured the aura of his whole body into his right arm, held the big knife in his hand, and threw it violently towards Gu Quan.

The hundred-pound machete was like an off-string arrow, piercing Gu Jing's chest in the blink of an eye!

Fortunately, Gu Qing sensed the sound of a knife that cut through the void behind him, and pressed Chihuang on the horse's back the moment before the big knife stabbed into his body, allowing the latter to escape. Even if his movements were only half a second slower, Chihuang would die with a whimper.

"Go live......" Gu Gu fell off the horse, looked at Chihuang tightly, and failed to look at it.

"No!" The screams of Chihuang tore through the night sky.

The horses were still galloping in that direction, the people of the Ghost Yan Clan were exhausted, and Chihuang was safe for the time being......

……

The glimmer of dawn crept in, and soon, the first sun rose, and a city stood in the distance, like a guardian.

There were a lot of people coming and going in the city, and mounts were forbidden to prevent unnecessary trouble.

Chihuang led the black horse and walked down the street, his face haggard, his eyes were dull, and he walked towards the city gate almost numbly.

Entering and leaving the city needs to be checked by the guards, and there is nothing to check for a poor bastard like Chihuang, who only has three small spirit crystals on his body, and the guards didn't know that there was such a person as Chihuang at this time, so they let him out of the city.

The wide avenue was full of people, and Chihuang headed towards the land of the Demon Forest, he didn't know if there was a place for him in this lofty mountain, but at least he got rid of the pursuit of the Ghost Yan Clan.

Three poles on the sun.

Chihuang gradually deepened along the road, and he found that the people around him were traveling very fast, and they were silent, as if they were afraid of missing the time.

It wouldn't be strange if only some people behaved like this, but all of them were like this, which was somewhat weird.

What Chihuang didn't know was that the recent period was the soul burial season of the southeast demon forest, and the monsters in the deep mountains ran to the periphery for some reason, and the demon beasts on the periphery were forced to retreat to the edge, and many demon beasts even left the demon forest directly and went to the nearby mountains.

During the soul burial, the demonic aura in the demon forest is even more than usual, especially at night, and it is even more demonic! Demon beasts will become more sensitive, violent, and bloodthirsty due to the influence of this demonic aura.

Therefore, the people who come and go do not dare to walk at night, and they are in a hurry during the day, and do not want to stay here for a few more moments.

Chihuang is the fearless of the ignorant, still riding his horse, letting the horse go forward, after all, he does not know where to go now. The surrounding green hills are verdant and green grass, which is very different from the mangrove trees, red leaves and red grass in the Ghost Flame Domain.

When he came to an open road, the horse was hungry and refused to go any further, so he had no choice but to stop for a while and let the horse eat first.

At this time, a few rough men came up to him, and without saying a word, they pulled out their knives and put them on his neck!

"Don't talk! Walk! ”

The men grabbed Chihuang and walked towards the mountains that were far away from the avenue.

Although there are people coming and going on this road, there are few people who walk alone, either people with strong martial arts, or stunned young people who take this road for the first time.

Chihuang clearly falls into the latter category.

These robbers robbed in broad daylight and did criminal deeds, so they had to stay away from the crowds on the avenue, otherwise if they ran into chivalrous and righteous people during the body search, they would inevitably cause trouble.

When they took Chihuang to a remote place with a stream and waterfall, they searched him.

"What are you going to do? Let me go! Chihuang struggled, but to no avail.

searched all over the body, and only found three small spirit crystals.

"Fuck, this horse is a good horse, but the man is a poor ghost, bad luck!"

"Big brother, kill him!" One of the reckless men licking. With the knife edge, the killing intent in his eyes was fully revealed.

"You're tired of being crooked, don't you know that this period is the season for soul burials?"

Once the blood is seen, the demon beasts within a radius of ten miles will be attracted.

The boss reprimanded the man, then kicked Chihuang off the cliff of the waterfall, and several people led the black horse out of the place.

This waterfall is more than 50 zhang high, there is a bluestone bulge under the water curtain, when Chihuang fell down, hit a raised bluestone, the ribs were immediately broken a few, and then fell into the waterhole below with a "bang".

A mouthful of blood melted in the water, and Chihuang almost passed out in pain.

struggled to surface, but couldn't stand the turbulent current, and the body drifted downstream uncontrollably.

In the water, even if he has a thousand catties of divine power, he has nowhere to use it but to go with the flow.

I don't know how long it took to drift, there was a sharp turn in front of me, Chihuang saw this, endured severe pain, grabbed the green vine on the shore and successfully went ashore.

Looking around, the vegetation cover is extremely dense, ancient vines are everywhere, flowers and plants are like the sea, and trees cover the sky and the sun, I don't know what kind of place I have come.

Chihuang clutched his chest and walked a few steps, a wave of hunger hit his whole body, he hadn't eaten anything since noon yesterday, and now he was hungry.

The feeling of chest pain and hunger in my stomach is indescribably uncomfortable.

The first priority is to find some food to satisfy your hunger.

He began to explore the area.

Stepping on the verdant meadow, as far as the eye can see, the field is covered with lichens, moss fern plants, and the ancient roots of the green vine are shaped like dragons, and they are bound to trap the sky, circling and staggering, like a ground net, which is dotted with strange flowers and fruits, bright colors, and full of vitality.

Supposedly, there would be a lot of wild beasts in this environment, but there was silence all around, not even a single bird. Chihuang searched a large area, and there was no trace of the beast, but he saw many poisonous insects and demon mirages, on the branches of ancient trees, in the crypts of tree roots, and under the eyes of moss stones, densely packed and innumerable.

Chihuang relied on his fire spiritual power, and was not afraid of the tigers of these poisons, but he did not dare to get too close to prevent accidents.

The sun sets in the west.

Except for the two rats, Chihuang didn't catch any other animals, so he had to use them to satisfy his hunger tonight.

Now he was tired, hungry and sleepy, and the pain in his chest was increasing, and he just wanted to roast the rat quickly, eat something and sleep, and think about other things when he woke up.

Chihuang first came to the river and cleaned up the rats. Then he found an open place, far away from the place where the insects were rooted, found some dead vines, lit a fire, pierced the body of the mouse with sharp branches, and stretched it out to the fire to roast.

The vines here are bathed in rich vitality and grow, the old vines are more than 1,000 years old, thicker than the human torso, really in the shape of a dragon, and the young vines are also in the shape of snakes and pythons.

The withered vines that Chihuang found were the thickness of his neck, piled aside, enough to burn for a night.

Sitting next to the fire, roasting the prey he had hit, he couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of Chen Lin, Qiu Chan, Gu Jing and the brothers of the hunting team.

He didn't want to lose anyone around him, but he had no choice but to leave anyone far away, and he only pinned all his hopes on him, leaving him with invincible responsibilities and endless thoughts.
