Chapter 502: The Dead Soul Forest
Blue sky and white clouds, broken temples, dead silence...
The sight stunned everyone.
It's not that they weren't mentally prepared, from all kinds of rumors, they had already thought of the Hanging Soul Forest as a terrifying ghost, but they didn't expect it to be such a scene.
Don't you say that this is the graveyard of the world?
How can there still be buildings?
And looking at the appearance, the age is not far away.
"What are you doing in a daze?!"
A priest shouted coldly: "This is the outpost of the previous world, the ancient spirit domain is detached, and it is naturally abandoned, what are you afraid of!" ”
"It's ready to be used after cleaning up, and it saves you effort!"
When the warlocks heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Biao glanced faintly and was noncommittal.
This place, something is clearly wrong.
If it is simply abandoned, when those sects leave, they will definitely take everything they can take, and those palaces in front of them, many of the materials are spiritual materials.
On the ground, there were still some tattered clay pots and carts, buried by thick dust, and it could be seen that they were in a hurry before leaving...
"Let's go!"
Without waiting for Zhang Biao to think about it, the flow of people had already poured out under the urging of the priest, left the divine ship, and came to the shore.
Of course, the people of the Divine Cult did not let them die, after all, these warlocks had to bear all kinds of hard work.
Several Jindan masters of the Divine Sect had already risen into the air, controlling magic weapons to hover over the ruins, and probing outwards to eliminate danger.
Seeing that they were all right, the warlocks were completely relieved.
Soon, they gathered in the form of a team, and then, under the orders of the Cult priests, they cleared the ruins in pieces.
Zhang Biao became a temporary steward at Fan Wusheng's request.
Because of the large number of people, they were arranged to clean the largest courtyard, which was in a mess, nearly half of the buildings had collapsed, and as soon as they entered, it was full of dust.
In the face of many unconvinced eyes, Zhang Biao just asked Fan Wushu, and after confirming some information repeatedly, he directly set the rules.
"Among the ruins, there are still a lot of spiritual materials, which are worth a lot of money, except for half of the share handed over, the rest can be distributed..."
"We will be divided into ten teams, and the last place will be eliminated, and the first to finish will get the most rewards, and the last one will have nothing, and will be responsible for building the camp..."
"Also, there must be no private collections, there are people in the team who have unclean hands and feet, the whole team ranks at the bottom, if you violate it repeatedly, the military regulations will deal with it......"
A series of orders stunned everyone.
However, they took a huge risk to come, which one was not for wealth and chance, and when they heard that there were spiritual materials in the ruins, their eyes suddenly lit up.
What kind of decency and demeanor, all of them were left behind at the moment, and they immediately stepped forward to clean up, and they didn't care if they were covered in dust, for fear of falling to the end.
Without supervision, it's already in full swing.
"Brother Zhang, what a means!"
Fan Wuxuan was dumbfounded and amazed.
Luo Fengnian, the housekeeper on the side, glanced faintly, his lips moved slightly, obviously transmitting sound.
He originally wanted to make a mistake in secret, but he didn't expect Fan Wuxu to be a little unhappy immediately, and turned his head directly and said: "What is insidious, this is a proper strategy, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”
Luo Fengnian's face suddenly stiffened, and he lowered his head slightly, "Talk a lot, and the son will forgive you." ”
Zhang Biao sneered in his heart and ignored it.
The people of Qianbao Pavilion are the best at taking advantage of people's greed, and his management method can naturally be seen through at a glance.
To put it nicely, the rewards are clear.
To put it mildly, it is to create contradictions and use interests to chew on everyone in order to control it.
But in any case, there is order in the procession.
Originally, this kind of thing should be handled by Luo Fengnian, the housekeeper, but this kid is a man in the Demon Dao, and he has ill intentions, but he just wants to use Fan Wusheng, how can he try his best to help.
Now that his status is threatened, he immediately sow discord.
But Zhang Biao was not in a hurry to deal with him.
This kid's identity is the shopkeeper, and he must have secretly operated a lot of forces in this world, and there is also the existence of worry-free concept behind the key.
Once you do it, you have to eradicate it all.
Perhaps, it can also give some surprises to the people of the Demon God Alliance.
With a plan in mind, Zhang Biao left, seemingly wandering around like the overseer, but in fact, he had already used his spiritual eye to find out the roots of this ruin.
Jade Sea Realm Outpost (Yellow Rank 8)
1. The outpost built by the Jade Sea Realm Sect to explore the Hanging Soul Forest was once bustling with people, but now it has been abandoned...
2. There is a gossip trap array, which has been damaged.
3. There was a terrible disaster here, and they inadvertently woke up the souls of the dead in Sanssoucian, leading to an emergency evacuation...
I see.
He also knew that the Jade Sea Realm was adjacent to the Shannan Realm he occupied and had been destroyed by the Ghost Dao, so the matter was naturally over.
Zhang Biao remained silent and glanced at Luo Fengnian.
This kid is nominally a member of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, but he is secretly driven by the carefree view.
He originally thought that the concept of worry-free was also infiltrated for the immortal vine, but now it seems that there are other plans.
There's also the weird dead silence here.
If it is under the influence of the power of carefree view, then everything becomes reasonable, and I am afraid that the person who died at that time has already become an evil spirit with an empty head, wandering around.
Rumble!
At that moment, there was a roar in the distance.
This sudden movement made everyone stop and look up, only to see a faint fire rising in the distance.
It was a master of the Vulcan Cult fighting.
"Don't look at it, let's get to work!"
Fan Wuxu hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, the matter of eliminating evil things will be dealt with by our own God Sect masters, we just need to work steadily in the rear." ”
"Fan Gongzi is right."
"Hurry up, it must be done before dark!"
The warlocks also knew what was wrong and continued to work with their heads covered.
Under the suppression of the Incense Fire God Sect in various places, they don't even have a complete inheritance, most of them only have the Qi refining period, at most they can make some crude spells, and those things of combat exploration are not capable of participating at all.
Before you know it, night falls.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the area they were responsible for was finally cleared, and they were the best among all the teams.
Fan Wusu was praised for this, and he was in a good mood when he came back, and he also sent a lot of supplies to everyone, from tent meals to everything.
This kind of thing is handled by him and Luo Fengnian personally, that is to say, only the two of them have the pass.
And the pass is exactly what the Demon God Alliance wants him to do.
Zhang Biao is not in a hurry, he already has a plan to make the conflict between the two parties, but before that, he has to dry those demon cultivators for a few days.
After a tiring day, these charlatans were exhausted to death, lit a bonfire, ate some food and drink, and then went into the tent and fell asleep.
This is almost the case throughout the ruins.
Only soldiers and masters from various divine cults set up defensive formations on the periphery, vigilantly watching into the distance.
Zhang Biao, as a steward, naturally has an independent tent.
He sat cross-legged until the dead of night, when he suddenly opened his eyes, was wrapped in the black fog of dreams, and suddenly disappeared.
When it reappeared, it was on top of a mountain dozens of miles away.
Next to it, there is a dragon boat.
Entering this ancient spirit realm, he was no longer under the surveillance of the gods of the Surabaya realm, so he naturally did not need to hide, and directly used himself as an anchor point to summon the dragon boat to the Hanging Soul Forest.
Climb high and look far away, and see more clearly at this moment.
Although the Ancient Spirit Domain is not composed of fragments of a world, almost all Ancient Spirit Domains have common characteristics, which is also the origin of their name.
For example, the back of the Yin Mountain, all steep mountains, most of the time the sea of clouds is churning, and the yin wind is howling.
For example, Fire Island, where volcanoes exist in all areas.
This is shaped by the remnants of the world's origin, and even later fallen fragments will be affected, but will be divided into different areas.
It's the same with the Hanging Soul Forest.
As far as the eye can see, both the mountains and the valleys are covered by dense forests, but except for the trees, this ancient spiritual realm has no other life, there are no birds in the sky, and there are no insects in the forest.
In addition, there are large areas of lifeless woods, the dead wood is black and tall, hideously twisted, and the air is dead, and the dead bodies hang from the trees......
Zhang Biao remembered his former Mowen Knife, and one of its main spiritual materials was the innate sword genital gengjinmu produced in the Hanging Soul Forest.
In this world, I'm afraid there are a lot of spirit trees.
Of course, the most important thing is to find the area where the Qinglan Realm fell first and explore.
Thinking of this, Zhang Biao waved his sleeves, and the black mist in front of him suddenly surged, and a large area of spirit devouring cicadas surged out like dark clouds, scattering in all directions.
Zhang Biao smiled slightly, his body was wrapped in the dreamy black fog again, and he returned to the tent.
When he entered the Ancient Spirit Realm, he had many means at his disposal.
The exploration was naturally completed by the Spirit Devouring Cicada, and he stayed here for only one purpose, which was to lay out the Demon God Alliance and the Demon Dao, and not to alarm the gods of the Surabaya Realm.
Before you know it, a few days have passed.
Zhang Biao supervised the work during the day, and pretended to rest at night, secretly using the Spirit Devouring Cicada to carefully search every area.
Sure enough, there were quite a few discoveries.
For example, the area where they are located is the development of the Jade Sea Realm, and the hidden secrets and spiritual materials in it have long been excavated, but there are still many reclaimed spiritual fields in the surrounding mountains.
Because the people in the Jade Sea Realm were in a hurry to evacuate, they did not take away the spiritual veins, and even the medicinal materials in the spiritual fields did not have time to pick.
The people in the Surabaya Realm Divine Sect have only given them an order to renovate in the past few days, and they have ignored them for the rest of the time, they are busy picking elixirs, and even make them unhappy because of this.
Of course, they also suffered evil things.
It was a human-like being, like a zombie, festering and rotting, but still able to use magic, or wander aimlessly, or sleep in the spiritual field.
These were all monks in the Jade Sea Realm, who were infected by the Worry-Free Demonic Qi, and had no troubles in the world, and even no misery of life and death, but they turned into zombies and evil creatures, wandering the earth day and night.
Not only these monks, but even the entire Hanging Soul Forest, are like this, and all the living beings are confused.
But it's a pity that the Qinglan world has never found a clue.
Just when Zhang Biao was puzzled, it was the time to go out, but it was Fan Wusu who contracted the epidemic in the ancient spirit realm, lay on the bed to rest, and asked him and Luo Fengnian to go out, escort spiritual materials, and carry the living materials needed by their team.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Biao was curious and entered Fan Wusheng's account to check.
"Oops, oops."
Fan Wuxu's face turned pale, and he was a little embarrassed: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for many days, I have had too much fun with a few concubines, and as soon as I returned to the Hanging Soul Forest, I was infected with yin qi." ”
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Biao remained silent and glanced at Luo Fengnian.
What is dyed with yin qi, it is clearly an illusion that these guys have extracted Fan Wuxu's essence blood.
Judging by the appearance, they are already planning to do it.
Sure enough, Luo Fengnian changed his indifference from the past, shook his head and said: "Son's illness, these chores can only be done by us in the future, Brother Zhang has a good way to rule, I just need to do it." ”
Zhang Biao glanced faintly, "Steward Luo laughed, I don't understand anything, it's up to you to decide." ”
"It's all the same, it's all the same."
Fan Wuxu seemed to be very tired, threw the token in his hand to Zhang Biao, got into the quilt, and fell asleep.
Zhang Biao knew that Luo Fengnian must be uneasy and kind.
But what made him curious was that since he entered the Hanging Soul Forest, he had spent the rest of his time paying attention to this guy except for the use of the Spirit Devouring Cicada, but the other party had not done anything.
It stands to reason that the other party should have arranged the carefree person in a long time ago, could there be something wrong in the middle?
Zhang Biao was vigilant in his heart, but his movements were not slow, and he immediately called a team of warlocks, escorted the collected tattered spiritual materials, re-boarded the divine ship, entered the divine sect palace and handed over some parts, and then went out of the customs.
At this moment, outside the Yinfeng Gorge Pass, it is already icy and snowy.
But ten miles away, a town had risen from the ground, and the buildings were in utter disarray, apparently improvised, with people coming and going, and bonfires burning everywhere......
After Zhang Biao saw it, he was not surprised.
Exploring the Ancient Spirit Realm has always been a feast for all forces and families, and it is a bit like a ghost city, which is used as a transit for supplies.
For example, the remaining spiritual materials they escorted will be transferred to Fan Wusuo's family station, and they will also be responsible for all the use of the team in the ancient spirit domain.
The Divine Cult saves a lot of manpower and material resources, and the family gets spiritual materials, and each takes what he needs, only those charlatans have to work hard to get the smallest scraps.
They weren't the only ones on the road.
After entering the Fan family station in the town, Luo Fengnian handed over the supplies, and immediately waved his hand, "You guys rest for one night, leave tomorrow, take it easy, don't be sucked dry by those girls." ”
"Hahaha..."
The warlocks smiled lewdly and dispersed.
Going out to rhyme is also their welfare, although this town is broken, but there is no shortage of items for eating, drinking and playing.
As soon as he entered the town, Zhang Biao felt the black feathers in his body tremble, and knew that the people from the Demon God Alliance had also sneaked in, so he immediately smiled and said: "Mom, there is also this good thing, I knew that I would come out on weekdays." ”
Luo Fengnian was a little surprised, "Brother Zhang is also like this?" ”
Zhang Biao sneered: "They are all men, who is different." ”
With that, he swaggered away.
Behind him, Luo Fengnian sneered, looking at him like a dead man.
Zhang Biao did not follow the other warlocks, but entered a carriage and horse shop under the guidance of the demon cultivator.
As soon as he entered the underground tunnel, he was surrounded by several cold killing machines.
Burst~
The oil lamp was lit, and a series of figures suddenly appeared in the secret room, all of them looked strange, only Yang Yueling was the most human.
"Boy, why did you only come out now?"
The old woman in black was full of anger, and all the black feathers came out from under her skin.
They waited outside for a few days, but they didn't see Zhang Biao appear, but they couldn't urge the spell through the barrier of the world, and they thought that Zhang Biao had betrayed.
Other demon cultivators also watched coldly.
"Immortals spare their lives."
Zhang Biao said helplessly: "This time the Divine Sect is very closely guarded, and I tried my best to find a chance to get out." ”
The old woman in black was about to speak, but the tall leader next to her waved his hand to stop it, nodded and said in a deep voice: "We also know a little about the situation inside, these are not important, can you take us to sneak in this time?" ”
Zhang Biao was embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's a little troublesome." ”
"This time, the leader of the team is the housekeeper Luo Fengnian, he has always dealt with me, you immortals, it is best to control him as well......"
