Chapter 21: Ghosts and Spirits are Unfathomable I

The mountains of the lower hill country have a kind of northern vigor, majestic and upright. But this is obviously close to the southeast region of the Yue country, although there are many mountains and rivers, it should be more beautiful.

Long Yunzhou looked up at the towering trees, the canopy was thick, and there was hardly a little sunlight between the branches. The stars are slightly mottled, and the layers are layered, and I don't know how high they are.

They had been walking in the mountains for five days, from the thick bushes to the primeval forests. The thorny path beneath your feet has become a thick layer of rotting leaves that can trap at any moment, and where the rotten leaves cover it is an extremely dangerous quagmire.

I don't know that this primeval forest has not been visited for hundreds of years, and there are places where a person can be buried with a single foot on a rotten leaf. Duan Xing fell into the hollow place several times, and he screamed in fright.

However, these dangers are hidden in the shadows, and can be dodged if you are careful. The most annoying are the wild beasts and some dangerous plants that often haunt the primeval forest, those things live on bloodthirst, they are not afraid of humans, and they track their prey by smell.

The four people who suddenly broke into the primeval forest suddenly became the prey of countless carnivorous beasts, and they excitedly followed behind the four people, rushing out of the shadows from time to time, trying to tear the four of them apart.

But Liu Qing's knife was too powerful, within a radius of one zhang, under the swing of the knife light, no beast could get close, even those tall and fierce monsters would inevitably have the tragic doom of moving their heads.

The bloodthirsty beasts were gradually inspired by the smell of blood, and they began to follow these human prey from afar, eating the corpses of the slain beasts along the way, waiting for an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on these humans.

Long Yunzhou was overwhelmed, and every time he rushed out, a fire god fist and a dragon palm were struck, killing a large number of beasts. But it wasn't long before the scared beasts followed them from afar, as if they would never be deterred by death.

Sitting under the big tree to rest, Duan Xingzhong slapped his right cheek hard. A blood-sucking mosquito, almost five centimeters in size, was glued to the palm of his hand, dripping with blood, all from his cheek.

"What the hell do these damned beasts want to do? Do they have to look for the pleasure of death to be comfortable?" Long Yunzhou looked at the beast that was grinning with its head and teeth open in the distance, and patted the ground with hatred.

The beast was visibly frightened, and immediately retracted its head after just looking at it. There was a rustling sound, and it was already running away.

"Don't complain about Brother Long, the beasts are just following us by nature!" Liu Qing smiled and patted Long Yunzhou to show him not to be so irritable.

"Nature?" Long Yunzhou cried out, "We are not female beasts with outstanding posture and ass, we are the ones who can break them to pieces with a raised hand." In their eyes, we are monsters, right? Their nature is to follow behind us monsters, and then stab them in the head when we are unhappy?" Long Yunzhou complained weakly.

Liu Qing was amused by Long Yunzhou, he fiddled with the wide-mouthed steel knife, pointed at those beasts and said, "They are just low-level beasts, mainly because they are large in number. In our eyes, they don't pose any threat at all, and what I mean by nature is that the aura emanating from you and Senior Ling attracts them. Wild beasts chase flesh and choose food. You are like two golden ingots floating through the poor man's house, and you say, the poor people are desperate to snatch you? ”

Long Yunzhou sighed helplessly: "We are still two monsters that exude the smell of temptation, it is the first time I know that the original cultivator still has such troubles." ”

"What a fuss!" Ling Yun closed his eyes and snorted dissatisfiedly: "Spiritual energy is gathered in the body of a cultivator, and the spiritual energy is stored in the bloodline. Beasts can increase their aura by eating flesh and blood, and thus be reborn into spirit beasts. Such a big temptation, of course, they are eager to rush to it. ”

Long Yunzhou smiled bitterly: "It turns out that the evolution of beasts is also so ferocious, and you have to rely on sucking other people's flesh and blood to improve yourself." ”

His words are pointed, talking about Mei Ruoyu's demon people, who want to catch him and use his bloodline to improve their self-cultivation. It turns out that the same is true of wild beasts, so it is no wonder that humans are also so greedy, didn't humans learn from wild beasts in the first place?

Ling Yun looked at his apprentice heavily, he knew what Long Yunzhou was thinking. This world is so cruel, powerful people can bully people who are weaker than themselves at will, and most of those people are concentrated on the side of the demons.

But it is precisely because of the Demon Race that there is the Heavenly Dao Academy. The people of the Heavenly Dao Academy will always believe that justice is invincible. For thousands of years, they lived according to this original ideal until all the evil in this world was destroyed.

"But if we keep letting these beasts follow us, our whereabouts will be exposed, and Yunzhou's worries are justified. Ling Yun said suddenly in a dull voice.

They killed many beasts along the way, and it is no exaggeration to pile up mountains of bones. It seems that all the beasts in the mountains have gathered together and vowed to kill these four before they stop.

"Something is wrong, isn't it?". Long Yunzhou looked at Ling Yun and suddenly understood the dissonance in the middle.

"Yes, that's very unconscionable. Ling Yun's face had slowly sunk: "Although the beasts will be attracted by the aura on our bodies, our cultivation can already hide the aura on our bodies and prevent it from spreading. ”

Ling Yun looked at the direction where the beast had disappeared just now, and his eyes gradually became cold: "And there are so many beasts running from all directions, and some of them are natural enemies. But when they tracked us, they cooperated perfectly, as if they didn't see each other at all, and just wanted to tear us apart. This is unconscionable, unless ........."

"Unless it's all deliberately manipulated, isn't it?" Liu Qing's eyes lit up and he looked at Ling Yun tightly.

Ling Yun nodded, suddenly looked at Long Yunzhou and said, "Do you remember those snakes that appeared with Mei Ruoyu in the Phantom Dust Cave?"

Of course, Long Yunzhou remembered that he had just come out of the dustless land and almost crashed into the mouth of a snake man. To this day, he still remembers the fishy smell and the sharp teeth of the snake man, and he still breaks out in a cold sweat from time to time.

"Master, do you mean that Mei Ruoyu has already caught up?" Long Yunzhou stood up in horror and looked around, the biggest master here, Ling Yun, had become a cripple, and it was impossible to deal with Mei Ruoyu. I'm afraid that even if you move your true qi, you may also attack your heart with poisonous blood on the spot and burp immediately.

And he and Liu Qing together are not Mei Ruoyu's opponents, as long as she moves her little finger, the two of them have to lie down.

"Don't look, she didn't come. If she comes, we'll probably not have any living people here. Ling Yun waved his hand at Long Yunzhou, signaling him to be quiet.

"What's the situation then?" Long Yunzhou exhaled, squatting beside Ling Yun and staring at him intently.

"I heard that the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Monarch, one of the four demon kings of the demon race, can control all the beasts in the world, including spirit beasts, and it is difficult for them to escape his palm. Only after breaking away from the beast body, evolving into a demon, and having its own consciousness, can it not be controlled. ”

"If my guess is correct, those snakes that attacked us were driven by the Snake Demons under the command of the Heavenly Monarch of Ten Thousand Beasts. And almost all the people under the command of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Monarch will control the beasts, and presumably that snake demon is not far from us. ”

Ling Yun said calmly, Long Yunzhou and Liu Qing were shocked at the same time.

As for the understanding of the demons, they are still in the most basic state, they only know that the demons are easy to kill, as for the name of the snake demon, they have never heard of it at all.

"Is the snake demon powerful?who is more powerful than Mei Ruoyu?" Long Yunzhou asked eagerly, hearing the name of the snake demon, he was very awesome, he was afraid that a top master like Mei Ruoyu would suddenly appear. It's not the same when the time comes.

"I don't know!" Ling Yun shook his head: "But the characters under the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Monarch are not far behind." You must know that the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Monarch is also equivalent to the master of the Illusory Saint Realm!"

There were beasts all around, and the people known as the snake demons were not far from them, but at this moment, Ling Yun's poisonous wounds had not healed, and he could not use his true qi. The two of them were not opponents, and Long Yunzhou and Liu Qing couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Otherwise, let's give them some medicine!" said timid voices, and the three of them turned around at the same time. I saw Duan Xing, who didn't talk much along the way, looked at the three of them in a daze, and was a little shy in timidity.

"Don't mess around, our lives may be lost in a while, this is not the time for you to refine medicine. Liu Qing scolded dissatisfiedly.

It was for the sake of Long Yunzhou and Ling Yun that he let Xuanwu Hall start refining medicine again, and with his temper, he couldn't look down on those medicine refiners at all.

In his heart, only the martial artists who crisscrossed the battlefield and the great masters like Ling Yun were worthy of respect. As for the alchemists in the Xuanwu Hall who were not doing their jobs by the Dan furnace all day long, he had always been dismissive.

Duan Xing's face turned red instantly, and under Liu Qing's scolding, he slowly lowered his head.

Long Yunzhou glanced at Liu Qing, and said in his heart This is my brother, and it won't be your turn to scold.

He said loudly to Duan Xing: "If there is any way, you can say it, I will bring you out of Wuling City, and you will be my brother from now on." Between brothers, there is nothing that cannot be said. ”

He said this to Liu Qing, and invisibly raised Duan Xing. Liu Qing also heard the dissatisfaction in Long Yunzhou's words, but just smiled faintly and didn't say anything anymore.

Duan Xing looked at Long Yunzhou's encouraging smile, and the sense of humility in his heart gradually moved away. He began to feel confident that he wanted to shout out loud filled his chest!

"I think we might be able to use medicine to stop those beasts from continuing to track. Duan Xing looked at the three of them with confidence.

"Oh, is there a way to do it?". At this time, even Liu Qing looked at Duan Xing, his eyes full of curiosity.
