Chapter Fifty-Seven: Danger lurks
The rain was pouring down, and night finally fell, and it was dark in all directions.
In the air, there is only a faint flash of electric light, like an electric snake flying, and a dragon entering the clouds.
All the disciples scattered, each seeking a stronghold, hoping to gain an advantage in advance and try to avoid the first wave of pursuit by the thirty-eighth generation of disciples. However, in this blood forest, they all understood one thing, the opponent they were facing was not only the thirty-eighth generation disciple, but also the real landlord in the blood forest, some demon beasts with great strength.
Compared to those thirty-eight generations of disciples, perhaps these demon beasts living in the blood forest were the ones who should make them feel terrible the most. To be called 'demon beasts' is not only a matter of strength, but also their intelligence is definitely not inferior to that of humans.
This is not comparable to the vicinity of Tianmen, there are only some ordinary beasts and birds near Tianmen at most, and there will definitely be no demon beasts, because it is Tianmen, the second highest cultivation mountain gate on the Daoluo Continent, and there are real powerhouses in it, which can dominate the world.
Moreover, the distance between this place and the Heavenly Gate is at least a hundred kilometers, and this distance will take at least ten days and a half months to travel by foot.
No one had to think about it, because they had to go into the Bloodforest. Because each of them has discovered an ingenious thing, that is, the 'Order' they personally possess seems to have a trace of connection with this blood forest, and after entering, there will be a trace of energy that is not there.
In other words, the real powerhouses in the Heavenly Gate will rely on this to find out if someone deliberately does not enter the Blood Forest, but hides in other forest areas.
So, in general, all back roads are eliminated.
Xiao Zhi took a light breath, and a faint barrier of Dao power appeared all over his body, this method can be done by a monk who has attained the Dao realm. It consumes very little energy and can easily resist the 'offensive' of rain.
Wu Bufat and Zhang Ling are all like this, if they are soaked by the rain, it will not be good for themselves.
But this is not a solution after all, and the three of them must first find a place to shelter from the rain.
The three of them, led by Xiao Zhi, chose a direction and rushed into the blood forest. Suddenly, the bloody smell became more and more intense, and the smell was disgusting, and it was really uncomfortable and unbearable. The trees here, as legend has it, are dyed with the color of blood, a dark red, as if blood is clotting above.
Not only that, but even some of the weeds, shrubs, and thorns below are the same, which makes people look uncomfortable.
"Ahh
Not far away, there was a scream, loud under the night sky. The voice is poignant and tragic, making people tremble.
Followed by a few screams, Xiao Zhi's brows furrowed slightly, that direction was not very far, probably only a few hundred meters, just because the night was too dark to see directly.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”
Xiao Zhi whispered, this is the Blood Forest, if you want to really survive, you must not only learn how to avoid evil, but also learn to grasp the situation here as soon as possible.
Zhang Ling didn't speak, just nodded in agreement, and Wu Bufat would not have any objections. The three of them moved very lightly and ran past, and there was that kind of thick bloody aura everywhere, and it was impossible to judge from the breath. I can only roughly grope for the direction of the previous sound.
Soon, the three of them stopped in a dark area, where the blood was a little thicker than the others. In the dark, the three of them had tense faces, and they all knew that what had just happened was here.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Zhi directly took out the 'bright crystal' and illuminated the place brightly.
When they saw everything around them, the three of them frowned, and their faces were slightly pale. At the feet of the three of them, a large patch of blood mixed with the rain, next to it was a broken arm, half of a young man's head, and half of a girl's body was gone, and the internal organs were clearly visible.
The three of them looked at each other, and their faces were all unsightly. Understand that the death of the three is definitely very fast, and they can't even resist at all.
"Click......
There was a slight sound of dead branches being crushed in the darkness nearby, which couldn't help but startle the three of them. Xiao Zhi quickly moved the 'bright crystal' in his hand, but only saw a black shadow rushing into the darkness quickly, and he couldn't even see what it looked like.
The silence was so quiet that the three of them could clearly hear their heartbeats and breathing.
An eerie feeling enveloped the minds of the three of them, and they had just entered the edge of the Blood Forest before someone died. The horror of the Blood Forest can be seen.
Xiao Zhi silently withdrew the 'bright crystal', and in this darkness, it was an unwise act to keep himself in the light. Although it is said that most of the demon beasts living here have night vision, this is their advantage, and the monks cannot be compared to each other within a certain realm.
"Let's go. ”
This was the first time Zhang Ling had spoken, and his tone was very indifferent, but there was also a hint of jealousy.
Even if he doesn't say it, Xiao Zhi also plans to do so. As for here, what is safe is not in the scope of a few people's consideration. They just want to find a relatively safe place first, at least to spend the night first, and during the day, the view is wide and there are many things to see.
The main thing, nature, is the environment.
The three of them ran lightly in the jungle, but for some reason, they always felt a pair of eyes watching them behind them. You can probe carefully, but you can't feel anything.
Xiao Zhi's feet were deliberately a few points slower and landed behind the two of them. Quietly, the Dao map was running, and the small saplings were swaying, sending out wisps of Dao force to hook the trees in all directions.
"Humph!"
Xiao Zhi snorted suddenly, feeling a surging force rushing towards his Divine Soul Consciousness Sea, that power was like a blood-colored ocean, which was very intimidating. And Xiao Zhi's ability to rely on nearby trees to detect the surrounding situation actually failed at this moment.
Not only that, Xiao Zhi bleed from his mouth and nose at the first time, and his soul was invisibly hit hard!
"Xiaozhi!"
Wu Bufat snorted lightly, quickly turned around, and grabbed Xiao Zhi, whose body was shaking. At this moment, Xiao Zhi did not forget to take back the Dao map. His eyes were full of horror, what kind of place was this Blood Forest?
There is such a means that even probing can't be done!
He very much believed that if he directly let go of the Divine Soul Investigation, he was likely to become an idiot directly.
This place is not only dangerous, but also full of unknown horrors.
But even so, it has not yet become one of the three inaccessible areas in Lombard's mouth. couldn't help but let Xiao Zhi secretly speculate, what kind of danger was there in those three places?
His mind flashed quickly, Xiao Zhi straightened up, and whispered to Wu Bufat: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"In the Blood Forest, it's best not to use any trace of divine soul power to probe. ”
Zhang Ling opened his mouth indifferently, he seemed to know something. At the same time, seeing Xiao Zhi's state, he immediately thought that Xiao Zhi was relying on his soul to explore the surroundings, and this was the only time he was injured.
Xiao Zhi squeezed out a smile and didn't make any answer.
The road was muddy, even if it was to protect the body with Dao power, it was still very difficult to walk. Fortunately, this approach will not make the three of them look embarrassed. After traveling about a kilometer, the three of them found another wreckage, and the death was tragic.
This couldn't help but make the three of them raise their hearts to their throats, maybe they will be the ones who will be attacked next time.
Finally, the three of them stopped at the bottom of a small hill. It's a small hill, but it's a slightly raised mound, about three meters high.
Seeing this, Wu Bufat directly took out a sharp blade from the Dao Ring, a nine-grade Dao weapon, which was very low-level, but it was also much stronger than those treasure knives and blades in the mundane. Although his cultivation is not strong among the three, he can still use the Dao weapon to dig a hole in the mound.
It's just that the rain is pouring down, and the muddy water is constantly flowing down from the mound, and if you want to open a hole here, although it is not very difficult, but whether you can treat people is another story.
Fortunately, the mound was overgrown with shrubs and weeds, so it would not collapse due to the rain. In the end, Zhang Ling also made a move, the speed accelerated, and soon dug out more than two meters deep, nearly three meters wide, and about one person high.
This time, Wu Bufat's role is reflected again. His Taoist vows not only include a large number of snacks and food, but also have bedding and foldable wooden beds. The two of them were stunned, and they both wondered whether this kid was here to participate in the trial of life and death, or to play.
"It's called being prepared, being prepared. ”
Wu Bu is righteous and stern, and he is quite colorful. It was also at this moment that Xiao Zhi realized that he was not fatter and stupider than Wu, not only him, but Zhang Ling also had the same idea. They have to stay in the blood forest for a month, and the food for this month is either to hunt wild beasts or to be self-sufficient.
After experiencing the tragedy they witnessed before, several people know it very well in their hearts. Here, you may not see ordinary beasts at all, but only those powerful demon beasts. At least for them, it is very dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will kill them.
"Let's take a turn. ”
Xiao Zhi proposed, sitting on the wooden bed at the same time, chewing the food brought by Wu Bufat in his mouth.
"I'll do it first. Zhang Ling whispered, his expression was still a little cold, and his tone was unquestionable.
Xiao Zhi nodded, had no objection, and said at the same time: "Then Wu Bufat is the second to watch, and I am the last to guard." ”
For sentry, the first person is generally the most likely to lose. Because, if there is a potential crisis, it will erupt when a second or third person is watching. Then in this way, the first person to guard will not get a good rest.
On a rainy night, only the raindrops the size of mung beans hit the leaves and grass, adding a touch of sound to the night.
At night, the wind was colder, except for Zhang Ling, Xiao Zhi and Wu Bufat were half lying on the wooden bed, sleeping soundly. Xiao Zhi's spirit in front of him had been hit hard, and he had to rest well now to recover. Zhang Ling sat cross-legged, his eyes blazing at the dark jungle outside.
"Whoa......
In the distance, there seemed to be a dark shadow slipping, and occasionally two spots of turquoise light could be seen flashing.
