The Tomahawk Mercenary Regiment and the people sent by the Treasure Tower gathered towards the mountain.

Judging by their appearance, the state of these people is not much different from that of Yanhou and Madame, they have all lost consciousness, but the breath on their bodies is still there, even so, Jian Chen feels like a thorn in the back.

After all, it is a person who faces so many opponents, and each opponent, in terms of hard power, is much stronger than himself.

"You don't have to worry, the evil spirits treat these people as food, it is impossible, and take the initiative to make them sober up in this place."

At this time, Xiaoyu reminded him intimately.

Chen Jian followed closely behind Yan Hou, who had already passed the height of the mountain, and gradually became barren upward, and the vegetation was much less visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the ruins of a dilapidated village from an old age appeared in front of him, probably because of the age and the fact that no one had lived in it for a long time.

Most of the buildings in the village have collapsed into ruins, and some have even been covered with vegetation, and only some traces of bricks and tiles can be seen, and everything here seems to confirm the content of the old man's previous story.

The further he went, the clearer the scene that Chen Jian could see, and the greater the impact of the picture on the towering ancient tree.

The branches of the ancient trees were luxuriant, the rhizomes and leaves were everywhere showing a blood-red color, and most of the "fruits" hanging from the branches had completely dried up, as if they had been sucked dry by something, leaving only a pair of skin and shells.

No wonder, since they entered the Ghost Mother Ridge, they hadn't seen a single living creature, and it had already been brought here by it.

It didn't take long for Yanhou and Mrs. Ma to stop at a distance of more than ten zhang from the ancient tree.

On the ground of this place, there was hardly a single vegetation to be found, and the two of them looked up almost in unison, their dark eyes staring straight at the trees.

After Chen Jian followed, he found that under the towering ancient tree, there were no fallen leaves, only the "fruit" hanging from the branches after drying.

If Xiao Yu hadn't been there, he seemed to have been able to see the end of Yanhou and Mrs. Ma.

There are still many forces in the world that people do not know and understand, and most of them stealthily walk in the dark, causing fear and hindering the development of humanity, which he never thought of before he came here.

Not long after they stopped, suddenly, there was another dense sound of footsteps, and the people of the Tomahawk Mercenary Regiment arrived as scheduled.

These people stood in a strange queue beside Yanhou and Mrs. Ma in a strange queue direction.

Chen Jian thought about it, and the correspondent walked over, stood in front of them, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of them, completely unresponsive, and their eyes were equally dark.

At the corners of the eyes, shallow blood lines have begun to spread, and the endless and deep dark eyes seem to make the viewer sink into them, making people seem, their hearts tremble, their souls tremble, and they are extremely weird.

Fortunately, he is Jian Chen.

But what he didn't expect was that in their rear, the team led by Zhou Kui in the Red Dust Gang, and the six people who left the battle, almost at the same time, also broke through the foggy land and came to the mountain.

They were no exception, and when they went up the mountain, they added bricks and tiles to that strange queue, forming an even larger queue.

Chen Jian didn't think about it for the first time, what kind of array these people formed, but he noticed that the number and strength of the other party were much higher than his own.

The aura on these people is still there, and the Qingxuan Realm alone has reached six people, if it is really a battle, the Red Dust Gang will definitely not be an opponent.

"Xiaoyu, do you think I can kill some of them first, lest they wake up and see me kill me in a while?"

"Can you have some interest?!"

This time, Chen Jian did not follow the previous procedure, but said resolutely: "Can't!" What is the situation now, what are they doing standing here in formation? ”

Xiao Yu said in a rare serious tone: "Isn't this already obvious? The evil spirits used the sonic attack method of the soul to make them temporarily lose their minds, and the idea of coming here to line up was already obvious. ”

"They are now standing in a queue, where the eye of the sacrificial formation is, and the evil spirits want them to take the initiative to teleport their souls to its body, and then wrap their flesh and blood and hang them on the tree until they devour everyone's flesh and blood."

"However, the true yang qi is too strong during the day, which is not conducive to him gathering yin qi, so it can only fall into a deep sleep, which may be the reason why the ghost mother ridge at night is particularly terrifying, this is not just a gossip."

Jian Chen stopped, and couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp: "Is this kind of method too bloody and not in line with humanitarian ethics, who made this kind of thing?" ”

"Evil spirits, most of them are refined by evil spirit masters, and you should also know that although Dao masters have played a great role in the first journey of martial arts, except for psychics, battle spirit masters and a few Dao array masters, there are not many combat methods.

After all, this world is still respected by strength, and if they want to pursue strong strength, they can only go through the side doors, and these side doors and left ways are the most unfavorable for cultivating the mind, and in the end they go astray. ”

"This is the cruelty of the martial arts world."

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "But the current situation may not be the kind of situation I said, it is most likely because of chance that this evil spirit was born." ”

"Why do you say that?" Chen Jian seemed to understand her words, but he didn't seem to fully understand it, and he was quite emotional.

"Go ahead and see if there's anyone kneeling in front of the stump?" Xiaoyu asked.

Jian Chen did not hesitate, raised his eyes and looked, and soon found the location in front of the tree stump that Xiao Yu said, and looked over from the back side, and saw that it was only half a zhang high and looked more like a stone statue.

Because its surface is covered with a layer of cloth that has completely decayed due to age, and many small plants have grown out of the cloth, but at this time, they have all withered.

"I'll go!"

Chen Jian walked straight over, glanced ahead, and also startled himself.

What appeared in front of him was a dried corpse, kneeling on the ground, the skin and flesh had been completely attached to the bones, there was still some hair on her head, and the clothes on her body barely made people distinguish her gender, which should be a woman.

"This can't be the woman in the story, right?" Jian Chen looked at her and thought of the heroine at the beginning of the old man's story.

Xiao Yu said: "It is very likely, maybe it is that she saw that the people in the village were slaughtered, and her heart was filled with endless resentment, but she was powerless to take revenge.

The blood infant Linghuai sucked a large amount of blood to form the evil spirit, deceived her into offering her soul, and the evil spirit and the resentful soul combined to form the current evil spirit. ”

"Master, you put your left hand on the root of the Blood Infant Linghuai, let me feel its power."

Jian Chen raised his left hand and glanced at it, the mysterious Dao Pattern Spirit Seal in his palm flickered, and he didn't hesitate, he took a few steps forward directly.

I don't know how many years this blood baby spirit locust has grown, Chen Jian stood in front of it, like an ant, he could only reach out and stick to the roots of the spirit locust tree.

Moment.

Jian Chen's heartbeat accelerated a little, and he could clearly feel that the spiritual power on his body, along with the thin spiritual energy around him, gathered in his palm in an instant, and the blood infant Linghuai also seemed to flicker a bloody light all over his body, emitting an eerie spiritual power towards the former.

As the remnant jade in Chen Jian's palm released a warm current here, a holy and flawless white light suddenly bloomed in the remnant jade where Xiao Yu was staying.

"How?" Jian Chen asked.

He suddenly heard the sound of rustling from above, and looked up, those calluses that had been tightly wrapped a moment ago actually stretched out two sharp claws and tore apart the blood-red protective layer.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Yujiao's anger was also heard.

"Master, get out of here!"
