Chapter 68: "The Land of the Dead"

Under the quiet night sky, a black shadow shot from far to near, the speed was extremely fast, as if teleporting, the feet did not touch the ground, and every time a pair of white wings behind him flapped, it attracted gusts of wind and thunder, and the air vibrate.

Landing on a small hillside, Ye Chen put away his wings, looked ahead with his eyes, and everywhere he looked, he saw layers of blood mist slowly flowing in the air, blood mist filled the sky, looking from a distance, it was like a sea of blood, the breeze struck, and a faint smell of blood came to his nose.

"Ahead should be the range of the Black Iron Castle. His brows frowned slightly, even though he was still a few hundred meters away from the blood mist, Ye Chen could still feel a depressing and irritating atmosphere from the blood mist, such a strange place, it was no wonder that a chaotic place like the Black Iron Fort could be born.

"It seems that Xiao Jingyao is also very jealous of this Black Iron Castle. Finding that the person behind him didn't chase after him, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth couldn't help but curl, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Xiao Jingyao and the others didn't continue to catch up, then he would have less trouble in the Black Iron Castle, and it would be more convenient to walk.

After all, whether it was Yun Fei, Lu Hu, or Mu Zifang, any one of the three could bring great danger to Ye Chen.

However, it is precisely because of this episode that you can enter the Black Iron Castle before sunset, but now it has not even arrived after dark.

"Hopefully that guy who slaughtered the bazaar won't run too far. Secretly said in his heart, Ye Chen's eyes showed a cold light, this time he was not only to seek justice for the hundreds of people in the bazaar, but also to clear his name.

Xiao Jingyao and the others appeared in the bazaar, it was obviously arranged by Xingchen Academy, and as long as Xiao Jingyao returned to the academy, he would definitely add fuel to the matter of encountering him, although Ye Chen was not afraid of shadows, but when the time came, Xingchen Academy would determine that he was the murderer, I am afraid that even if Chen Lao came forward, he might not be able to protect him.

Taking a deep breath and not thinking about it any more, Ye Chen jumped forward and flew towards the blood mist area.

It is not for nothing that the Black Iron Castle is called the land of death, when Ye Chen stepped into the blood mist area, he was immediately choked by the pungent smell of blood, his face was a little ugly, the intensity was at least dozens of times that of the outside just now, the blood in front of him was red, the moonlight did not shine in, it made people feel extremely depressed, the cool breeze blew, it sounded more like a ghost crying here, creepy.

Every step he took, he felt pressure, and Ye Chen even wondered if the road under his feet would be paved with that corpse.

As a special region on the Phantom Dragon Continent, in the long history, the Black Iron Castle has also been suppressed because of its chaotic order, but what is staggering is that the repeated suppression not only did not make the Black Iron Castle disappear, but instead made the Black Iron Castle expand exponentially at an astonishing speed, becoming more chaotic, coupled with the gathering of strong people in the Black Iron Castle, which also made those forces who wanted to suppress powerless.

Fortunately, although the destructive power and combat effectiveness of the Black Iron Castle are earth-shattering, and there are many powerful forces in it, they are all fighting for their own interests, killing wildly, and no one is convinced, and it is completely scattered.

Moreover, more importantly, there are often all kinds of divine weapons, high-level martial arts, superb magic core elixirs, cultivation exercises, etc., which also attract many strong people on the mainland.

Therefore, those forces on the mainland will no longer pay attention to it and let it develop, after all, if you talk about it in detail, the Black Iron Fort will not only not pose too much threat to them, but also bring them huge benefits.

"If anyone can control the Black Iron Castle, it is estimated that the pattern of the continent will change. Smacking his lips, Ye Chen also knew that this was impossible, this special region had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and he had never heard of any ruler, even those top forces on the continent could only implement a stocking policy, which showed that the possibility of wanting to control the Black Iron Fort was basically zero.

After so many years of development, the Black Iron Castle's sphere of influence has become extremely vast, for example, the area where Ye Chen is now located, although it is the closest to the Star Academy, it is also the outermost part of the Black Iron Castle, and it is at least thousands of miles away from the real Black Iron Castle.

When he stepped into the blood mist, the countdown to the two-day survival mission in the Black Iron Fort had already begun, but Ye Chen did not choose to stop there, but continued to go deeper inside, he also had to search for the scum who slaughtered the huge bazaar.

"You have to find a populated place first. Exhaling lightly, Ye Chen looked at the vast 'sea of blood', identified a direction, and then rushed out.

About half an hour or so, Ye Chen saw a looming small black dot from a distance, his heart was overjoyed, the speed increased again, as he approached, the small black dot also continued to enlarge, and found that it was a small town!

"Looks like luck is good. Sighing secretly, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth curled slightly, and he was about to walk towards the small town.

However, before he could go far, he noticed a thin figure lying on the road ahead, blocking his way.

With a slight frown, Ye Chen cautiously walked over and found that this was a little boy in rags.

The little boy looked to be about ten years old, with unkempt hair and a dirty little face, all dirt, and a little beggar alive.

"Hungry...... Hungry ......" a weak voice came from the little boy's mouth, intermittently.

Ye Chen, who didn't want to pay much attention to it, couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted at this time, he suddenly thought of the little girl, when he first met the little girl, wasn't the little girl what she is now?

Shaking his head, Ye Chen squatted down, and the boy's mouth kept coming from a vague moan, which was not very real.

"Bear with me, and you'll have something delicious to eat later. After reassuring the boy, Ye Chen picked the boy on his back and walked towards the town not far away.

However, what he didn't notice was that the moment he lifted the boy on his back, the boy, who had looked extremely weak, suddenly opened his eyes, like a hungry wolf that had been waiting for a long time, suddenly looking for prey, and his eyes flashed with green light.

Immediately after, the little hand gently stretched into his arms, and when he took it out again, he already held a sharp short sword in his hand, and under the blood-red mist, it reflected the blood-colored light, like a soul hooking blade from the Nine Hells, which was breathtaking.

Seeing the short sword, a hideous look that did not match his age appeared on the little boy's face, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, and then when Ye Chen didn't react at all, he raised the short sword with both hands and stabbed it fiercely in the back of the heart.

This sword was silent, it was almost to the extreme, and Ye Chen had no possibility of dodging at all!
