Chapter 20: The Demon Realm
The mountain wind is gusting, and the bamboo waves are swinging.
The bamboo forest seems to be endless, and the bamboo leaves are driven by the mountain wind, making a light sound, faintly with a hint of weirdness.
Sodros exuded a white glow of true qi, and he could see things within ten zhang. He didn't say a word along the way, and if it weren't for hearing him say a word before, Luo Fan would have even thought he was a mute.
"Ouch......"
With a muffled sound, Luo Fan was thrown to the ground and rolled twice, Luo Fan cursed in a low voice, he didn't expect to be thrown down so suddenly, but he didn't dare to scold after all.
Sodros paused, staring silently into the darkness ahead, his eyes as cold as ever. The brilliance emitted by the true qi illuminated the distance of ten zhang around, but it did not illuminate the darkness that was only three or four zhang away in front of it, which was particularly strange, as if the darkness had never been illuminated.
With a slight use of True Qi, the bamboo leaves under his feet were absorbed between his fingers.
"Whoosh!"
The bamboo leaves were thrown into the darkness ahead, and as they approached the darkness ahead, a strange scene occurred.
The bamboo leaf seemed to ripple in the air like a mud cow entering the sea, and then disappeared without a trace.
Luo Fan looked ahead in surprise, could this be the legendary enchantment?
Without allowing Luo Fan to think too much, Sodros once again put the bitter Luo Fan on his shoulder, entered the darkness in front of him, caused a ripple, and then disappeared completely.
Countless cultivators outside the bamboo forest also gradually came, and when they entered this strange and unpredictable bamboo forest, they all did their duty and did not fight again. At the moment, although the strange treasure was born, before they could see the true face of the strange treasure, many cultivators were inexplicably injured, and their hearts were also angry, but at that time, it was chaotic and dark
There is no light, and I don't know who did it, and now I can only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, which is really depressed.
It wasn't until a cultivator accidentally disappeared into the darkness that the cultivator realized that this place was extraordinary, someone threw a stone into the darkness, just like the previous scene, there was a trace of ripples, and there was no movement.
There was a lot of discussion about what kind of formation was arranged in the strange darkness, or some kind of forbidden place, or maybe it was the relics left by a certain god.
Some of the faint of heart have retreated, and there seems to be an unsettling aura in this strange darkness. And the heat in some people's eyes is even worse, as if through the darkness, what appears in front of their eyes is countless rare treasures.
"Roaring ......"
A low and suppressed roar came, as if it came from all directions of heaven and earth, and it seemed to be close to his side, the heavy and suppressed roar made everyone only feel that a boulder was pressed on their hearts, which was extremely heavy, and everyone was afraid, and there seemed to be a pair of ancient fierce beasts in the darkness, staring coldly.
But after all, someone took the lead in making a move, gritted their teeth and walked into the darkness, some people took the lead, and naturally some people followed suit, and more and more people entered the darkness.
"Take the young lady back, this place is too dangerous......"
"No, I'm going to such an interesting place. ”
Almost half of the cultivators outside the darkness entered, and only a very few people were still hesitating, but in the end, seeing that all the people had already entered, they always turned their hearts sideways and also entered the darkness. Only three men and one woman stood outside the darkness, and one of them, an extraordinary-looking young man, was talking to a charming woman.
"Yao'er, don't mess around, it's dangerous and unpredictable here, I'm afraid that there will be any danger at that time, and I won't be able to take care of you." The young man looked anxious and comforted the woman.
"Okay, I'll go back ......"
"Yao'er ......"
The charming woman's eyes rolled, ostensibly agreeing, but she resorted to a delaying tactic, taking advantage of the three of them not paying attention, and went directly into the darkness. The three shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and immediately followed.
......
A slightly salty and moist smell first wafted into his nose, and the first thing Luo Fan saw when he opened his eyes was that the ground in front of him was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, some of which were still green, and some of which had withered and began to rot slowly.
Looking up blankly, he found himself lying on the ground in a dense forest at some point, the lush canopy of branches and foliage almost completely obscuring the sky overhead, only a little light shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the mist was like smoke, gently drifting through the forest, making the place even more dark and mysterious.
Around him, there were many dragon-like roots and branches protruding from the ground, a few ancient vines entwined among the strange rocks and trees, and the weeds were new and green, and the moss was green.
A few birdsongs, from time to time from the top of the branches high above, seemed to whisper like a whisper, calling softly, but it was the only sound in the forest.
A faint mist, like smoke and yarn, drifted among the grass and trees in the distance, making it impossible to see farther away, and there was a fresh and moist smell in the air, Luo Fan stood up and looked around, on the leaves of the leaves and grass, there were still a few crystal clear water droplets, and the clothes on his body were also wet.
Sodros was no longer there, and at this moment only Luo Fan was looking around blankly, as if he was the only one left in heaven and earth.
He looked around with some nervousness, the forest was deep and secluded, and everything seemed to have a taste of primitiveness and wildness.
It seems to be a primeval forest, where no one has yet set foot in the primeval world.
Recalling the scene when he first entered the darkness, Luo Fan felt a strange and unpredictable force sweeping over him, as if an unknown force was repelling him, that power was pure, close to the power of nature.
In the end, somehow, I was inexplicably unconscious, and when I opened my eyes, I had already seen this scene of the primeval forest.
Luo Fan was a little shocked, it seemed that there had never been a human here, like a relic left over from ancient times.
The rustling of footsteps echoed in this forest, Luo Fan looked around cautiously, and walked lightly, but the subtle footsteps fell on the thick fallen leaves under his feet, and there would still be a rustling sound, only to blame the forest was too quiet.
After walking a distance of about 100 feet, Luo Fan involuntarily tensed his body, and outside the ghost forest, he clearly heard the strange roar coming from the forest, and he was afraid that a terrible beast hidden in some unknown corner would suddenly pounce on him.
There was silence in the forest, and the tall trees around them looked like giants, indifferently watching the young man who was walking forward.
The fog has lightened a bit, and the silhouette in the distance can be faintly seen.
A wisp of white smoke drifted away in front of him, and Luo Fan suddenly saw something out of the ordinary, looking like the skeletal remains of some huge creature, dumped in the dense forest, covered by layers of weeds and trees.
He mustered up his courage and walked slowly. At this time, the fog seemed to be pulled by something, and gradually dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the area.
"Hiss......"
Luo Fan gasped, this is a pale giant bone, about the height of the ribs is more than ten zhang, and the length is an astonishing thirty or forty zhang, this skeleton does not know how many years of carving, but it still reveals a faint color, Luo Fan can't help but think of a creature, the dragon clan.
"Huh!"
The sudden strange sound startled Luo Fan, and the relaxed nerves tensed again, only to see a strange-looking, like a big mouse crawling out of the skeleton, the size of a Moyo cat, gray and black fur, with two small front teeth, this thing seemed a little strange to see Luo Fan, but it did not stay, and burrowed into the leaves.
Luo Fan breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was a little too nervous.
Just when he was a little puzzled, suddenly! A low roar came from the other side of the dragon's bones. The sound entered his ears, Luo Fan was shocked, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged into his heart, and before he could react, he only heard a "whew", a black shadow was in shape, but it was from the other side of this stone statue
One side rushed up, roared, half opened the bloody mouth, exposed Sensen's fangs, and stared at Luo Fan condescendingly.
This is a black leopard, with pointed ears and two long fangs bursting out, but its size is larger than that of a cow or horse, saliva dripping from between its teeth at this moment, staring at Luo Fan beneath the dragon's skeleton with a fierce and greedy expression.
Luo Fan's heart sank, and he stretched out his hand to take out a long knife to deal with it, but the black panther didn't seem to have any intention of confronting Luo Fan, and it didn't hesitate and pounced down.
Fortunately, Luo Fan has not been lazy in these days, and the results of his diligent cultivation have also been revealed, although he was shocked and flashed sideways, a long knife with cold light shining was clenched in his hand, and he slashed it without thinking about it. It's just that the black panther was also very agile, avoiding Luo Fan from a distance, and stood aside and looked at him coldly.
Luo Fan didn't want to fight unnecessary, and slowly retreated, vaguely he heard the sound of a fight in the distance, and wanted to go over and see what was going on.
The black panther looked at Luo Fan with fierce eyes, seemed to have made up his mind, and decided that Luo Fan was its prey, and pounced again, jumping more than ten feet away, Luo Fan exclaimed, but there was an extra bag of powdery things in his hand, and threw it at the black panther, who knew that the black panther actually swallowed one mouthful, Luo Fan was happy in his heart, directly
Retreated, no longer entangled with the panther.
The panther who swallowed the packet of powder by mistake bleed from his mouth and nose in a moment, and fell to the ground with only breath out but no breath, and he was not alive at sight.
Along the way, the sound of the battle in the distance became clearer and clearer, and there was nothing abnormal along the way, and Luo Fan quickly came to the fighting ground. The towering branches of the ancient trees were the best place to hide, and the thick trunk of the tree looked down at the situation below.
I saw that dozens of cultivators were fighting against a group of strange fierce beasts, the fierce beasts had the body of a lion and an eagle head, and they had wings, and they were actually a large number of griffins.
Griffins are ferocious by nature, mostly living in groups, and once they find their prey, they are often immortal and extremely bloodthirsty and easy to kill.
Most of the cultivators in the field were casual cultivators, and as for the others, Luo Fan couldn't tell what sect or sect he was, nor did he see familiar faces. However, the cultivation of the people who came here was not ordinary, although those griffons were fierce and murderous, they could not help this group of cultivators, they besieged the city, forming a defensive posture, and the griffins were waiting around
The machine moved, staring coldly at these cultivators.
In the spirit of the mentality that more things are better than less, Luo Fan wanted to leave.
"Roaring ......"
The strange roar came again, and the sound swept in like a tsunami, echoing in the vast forest, and the griffin, which had been eyeing the cultivators, was also confused at this time, spreading its wings and retreating as if fleeing for its life.
The strange roar was so powerful that it seemed to shake the entire forest, and even the fierce beasts and birds hidden in the depths of the forest fled in terror in all directions. There are even hordes of dragons among them, which has to be terrifying, even such a powerful creature of the dragon race is afraid of it, and the roaring Allah is obviously terrifying.
This time it was far clearer than any previous roar, and the strong sense of oppression made people feel a chill in their hearts, as if an unknown ancient beast could suddenly appear at any time and choose someone to devour.
Everyone tensed their nerves and looked around vigilantly, as if any wind and grass was particularly harsh at this moment.
