Zhang Jiang looked at the scene in front of him in shock.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen cultivators, the person who had arranged for them to enter that ghost place before was a cultivator from the imperial capital.

But even those Imperial Capital cultivators were easily devoured by this massive amount of ghost mist and powerful ghosts when they faced the ghosts.

But the sword that appeared in front of them just now not only killed the powerful ghost spirit, but the powerful sword momentum directly tore the entire ghost snake open a wound of hundreds of meters.

The surrounding ghost fog was completely dispelled, and the feeling of withdrawing from the vitality had dissipated, and the two of them could finally feel that their bodies were rejuvenating, and a trace of blood finally appeared on their pale faces.

At this moment, a young man in a white robe with a dusty temperament fell from the sky, followed by a beautiful silver-haired woman and a young man with a noble spirit.

The person who came was naturally Shen Yuan and his party.

Just now, he casually cut off a sword and saved Zhang Jiang and Cheng Hu.

Shen Yuan naturally didn't pay attention to that powerful ghost that turned into a qi realm, but what made him a little curious was that the powerful ghost seemed to have just transformed from a human to a ghost, and the method of autopsy was mentioned in the words of the powerful ghost.

Before Shen Yuan could speak, Xue Mingzhi on the side took the initiative to ask the two of them very intimately:

"Who are you? Why is it here? ”

Zhang Jiang and Cheng Hu glanced at each other, and finally Zhang Jiang took the initiative to get up and said:

"Venerable Cultivator, we are members of the Red Bull Mountaineering Team."

While speaking, Zhang Jiang also showed the logo on his mountaineering suit to show his identity.

Hearing this reply, Xue Mingzhi was a little surprised, and immediately turned around and explained to Shen Yuan:

"The Red Bull Mountaineering Team is a team formed by a group of mountaineers from the people, and has recruited the best mountaineers in Daxia, often doing extreme sports to climb some dangerous famous mountains and rivers.

On the Internet of Great Xia, the Red Bull Mountaineering Team has a high popularity. ”

After explaining, Xue Mingzhi continued to ask, "Red Bull Mountaineering Team? How did you end up here? ”

Zhang Jiang showed a bitter smile on his face:

"Three days ago, we received an invitation from several powerful families in the imperial capital to let us explore the most core valley of the Beibi Mountains.

The Beibi Mountain Valley has left many legends in history, and our Red Bull Mountaineering Team also visited the valley a few years ago, and there was no danger except for the discovery of some bones.

Faced with the invitation of the powerful families, many people in the mountaineering team wanted to climb the relationship of these families, so they took on this task, and all 23 members of the mountaineering team participated. ”

"Normally, we need to make all the preparations before we climb the mountain, and sometimes it can take months.

But the powerful families forced us to prepare within a day, and they provided us with a lot of equipment and supplies, some of which we had never even heard of.

It was in this context that we arrived yesterday at the summit of the North Side Mountain, ready to enter the valley through the only entrance. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jiang subconsciously looked in the direction of the top of the mountain, and a deep regret and fear suddenly rose in his eyes.

But after coming to the scene, many people in the mountaineering team have begun to regret it.

Because on the top of this northern mountain, we have seen many cultivators who have only been seen on the Internet, who can fly in the sky and perform all kinds of wonderful magic weapons, and can easily open mountains and cracks rocks with a wave of their hands.

These practitioners set up a lot of stone pillars with patterns on the outskirts of the valley, which looked like formations on the Internet, and after seeing this scene, we realized that this was definitely not a simple mountain climb.

But we have already come here, and it is too late to quit, and we are not qualified to refuse those powerful and cultivators. ”

Hearing the story full of regret, Shen Yuan couldn't help but look at Xue Mingzhi and said:

"What he said wasn't the families in the imperial capital who explored the Ancient Forbidden Land some time ago?"

Xue Mingzhi also reacted at this moment and asked Zhang Jiang:

"The magnates of the imperial capital you are talking about, are they the Liu family and the Cao family?"

Zhang Jiang shook his head blankly: "I only know that they are big names in the imperial capital, and I don't know which family they are." ”

At this moment, Cheng Hu on the side spoke:

"When we were at the camp at the top of the mountain, we heard someone call a cultivator Liu Yang."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Mingzhi nodded towards Shen Yuan with his eyes fixed on him and said, "Liu Yang is a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator of the Liu family of Tangshan Bo, there should be no doubt that they are them. ”

confirmed the identity of the other party, which aroused the curiosity in Shen Yuan's heart.

The Imperial Capital family has already suffered a loss in the Forbidden Ancient Land, losing a lot of young monks, and now sending these ordinary people of the Red Bull Mountaineering Team into the Forbidden Ancient Forbidden Land may be related to the few ordinary tour guides who escaped for the first time.

On the other side, Xue Mingzhi casually cast a meditation spell to stabilize Zhang Jiang's mood, and then motioned for Zhang Jiang to continue.

Zhang Jiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to speak:

"According to the request of those cultivators, we have to observe the valley if there is anything abnormal, and by the way, find a few corpses and take them out of the valley.

We entered the valley at noon, when there was still the sun in the sky, and we searched in the valley for most of the day without finding the so-called corpses and anomalies.

In the evening we set up camp and then lit a bonfire and prepared to stay overnight and leave the valley the next day.

Who would have thought that just after we had fallen asleep at night, something strange would happen. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jiang's body trembled, and the blood color that had recovered a few points immediately disappeared, and his eyes were full of fear.

"First one of our team-mates who was on the night watch disappeared, and then some of them began to hear strange noises.

The voice told us to kill the other teammates for sacrifice, so that we could get the opportunity to retain our minds and turn into ghosts, and as the voice sounded, a large amount of fog began to appear around the camp. ”

Everyone was frightened by this voice, and everyone said that the monster behind it was pretending to be a ghost and scaring people, and if it could really kill us, it would have done it earlier.

Everyone is ready to gather together to guard against monsters, and as soon as the morning dawns, they will immediately go out of the valley and tell those cultivators.

However, the night was surprisingly long, and all of everyone's timekeeping tools were broken, and the valley was shrouded in a mass of fog, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night.

Coupled with the fact that the strange sound only appeared once, some people couldn't hold it anymore and chose to go back to the tent to sleep, and I fell asleep by the campfire in a daze.

When I woke up, Jiang Cheng was slashing others with a knife in the camp, and at this time he was infinitely powerful and not afraid of sword soldiers, and eighteen people died under his sword.

We resisted desperately, and in the end, it was Cheng Hu who killed him by cutting off half of his head with a spare tool sapper shovel.

Coincidentally, after killing Jiang Cheng, the ghost mist dissipated, and the remaining five of us hurriedly escaped from the valley and found those cultivators to tell the truth. ”

Zhang Jiang's words revealed a lot of useful information, and Xue Zhiming, who was listening to it, hurriedly asked:

"And then? What happened next? ”

The horror on Zhang Jiang's face became more and more intense:

"It was already afternoon after we escaped from the valley, and we spent more than twenty hours in the valley.

The cultivators outside were relieved to hear what we said, and they all said that they would solve the troubles inside.

But at this moment, a large fog suddenly spread out from the valley to the outside world, quickly engulfing the camp where the cultivators lived.

Several vicious ghosts rushed out of the valley through the mist, and the cultivators relied on the camp formation to support them, but as the fog spread, the cultivators were quickly defeated and killed by the ghosts.

Cheng Hu and I fled for our lives in a panic, but on the way, we were chased and killed by Jiang Cheng, who had already transformed into a powerful ghost, and fled all the way here to be rescued by adults. ”

Speaking of this, the fear in Zhang Jiang's eyes finally dissipated mostly, and he hurriedly said to Shen Yuan:

"My lord, let's go! There must be something more terrifying in that valley besides the ghosts.

As long as we leave Beibi Mountain before this ghostly fog is completely enveloped, we will be able to escape. ”

Shen Yuan didn't immediately respond to Zhang Jiang's words, the ghost mist that had been unfolded by Shen Yuan's sword momentum around him was reconverging at this moment, and the dense ghost mist was getting closer to everyone, which accelerated the fear in Zhang Jiang's eyes.

There was silence in the forest, and it was a long time before Shen Yuan slowly spoke:

"Leaving Beibi Mountain? This is certainly the right choice. ”

Zhang Jiang's face was overjoyed, but the next moment Shen Yuan's words made his expression change suddenly.

"But before leaving, let's ask the person next to you to show his body."

Zhang Jiang's body trembled violently, and he immediately turned his head to look at Cheng Hu on his side, his eyes full of disbelief.

And Cheng Hu was also full of doubts at the moment, and hurriedly asked:

"What did you say, Cultivator? Why can't I understand? ”

Cheng Hu's reaction was like a shot in the arm, and Zhang Jiang immediately pleaded with Shen Yuan:

"My lord, you must have made a mistake, Cheng Hu escaped all the way from the valley with me, how could there be a problem with him?"

Shen Yuan ignored Zhang Jiang's plea, but looked at Cheng Hu with interest and said:

"Even if I have confirmed your identity, it is difficult to see any flaws in you, the methods of the Lord of the Northern Mountains are indeed extraordinary."

Cheng Hu was still puzzled: "What is the Lord of Beibi Mountain?" What do you mean, sir? ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yuan's mouth, and he slowly walked towards Cheng Hu Dao:

"Those families in the imperial capital had already discovered some of the rules of the Ancient Forbidden Land when those tour guides escaped from the Ancient Forbidden Land.

As a forbidden place that suppressed countless souls and human emperors' grievances in the previous era, the ancient forbidden land was blocked by the Great Zhou Dynasty with the Ten Halls of Yama Great Array, and the Ten Halls of Yama Great Array was with the help of the power of the Yin Division, which could prohibit any ghosts and gods.

Even if the rules of heaven and earth were partially restored, and the Ancient Forbidden Land was revived together, it still could not bypass the restrictions of the Ten Halls Yama Great Array.

In the Ancient Forbidden Land, those ghosts who survived could kill cultivators, because cultivators were forbidden to step into the forbidden land, but ghosts could not attack ordinary people in the protection of the Ten Halls Yama Great Array. ”

"Later, the Imperial Capital family invited the ordinary people of the Red Bull Mountaineering Team to step into the forbidden land, in order to test this law.

Ghosts can't make a move, but they can provoke people's hearts to kill, and that guy named Jiang Cheng is what you did.

aroused Jiang Cheng's suspicion and evil thoughts towards his teammates, and made Jiang Cheng kill everyone in the mountaineering team.

And you, as one of the ghosts of the Ancient Forbidden Land, secretly replaced Cheng Hu with the help of the Lord of the Northern Mountain.

Jiang Cheng killed his teammates to complete the sacrifice, and if you killed Jiang Cheng, your body would naturally be contaminated with the aura of ghosts, and you used this to confuse the already incomplete Ten Halls Yama Great Array, and escaped from the Ancient Forbidden Land with a few people. ”

"Just after leaving the forbidden land, the rules of heaven and earth were further restored, and you lured the ghosts to descend outside the Ten Halls Yama Great Array, and let the powerful ghosts kill the cultivators of the Imperial Capital family.

If I'm not mistaken, those so-called powerful ghosts were incarnated by cultivators who fell some time ago.

You pretended to follow Zhang Jiang to escape, but in fact, you maintained your status as a survivor and secretly waited for the opportunity to confirm whether there were other reinforcements from the Imperial Capital family.

If I hadn't suddenly stepped into the ghost and caught your attention, you would have fled with Zhang Jiang. ”

As Shen Yuan's words fell, a large amount of black ghost qi rose up around Cheng Hu's body, and the blankness in his eyes was replaced by a gloomy cloud.

"How did you find out?"

Cheng Hu asked hoarsely.

Shen Yuan smiled indifferently:

"Deliberately staged a life-and-death crisis in which an ordinary survivor was chased by a ghost after I set foot in the ghost, so as to create a coincidence to approach me.

This kind of method is too rudimentary and deliberate. ”

Of course, the reason Shen Yuan said was only one of them.

The real reason is that the first time he saw Zhang Jiang and Cheng Hu, he deduced their origin with the star number supernatural power, but the star number supernatural power in the second realm was unable to spy on Cheng Hu's details, which made him sure that the other party was definitely wrong at the first time.

Now that the results are known, it is not surprising that combined with Zhang Jiang's narration and the assistance of the stars and supernatural powers, the truth of the matter is deduced.

At this moment, Zhang Jiang had already been shocked by the truth, he looked at Cheng Hu in front of him and couldn't believe that his friend who was born and died was actually a ghost pretending.

Cheng Hu ignored Zhang Jiang, in his eyes, this ordinary person was just an ant that could be killed.

He looked at Shen Yuan, who was slowly approaching, and his tone was extremely cold:

"It's really good that you can see through Lord Beibi's schemes, but that's the end of it."

"The current Xuanhuang Realm can only support the Divine Realm to survive in the present world, and this Northern Mountain Ghost Snake has the effect of isolating the present world.

In the midst of this ghost, I can exert my full strength without reservation.

Even if you have the wisdom of the heavens, only strength is the only one! ”

With one step, Cheng Hu's body suddenly turned into a huge demon with a blue face and red hair, and the momentum around his body had already exceeded the realm limit of the god transformation realm, and he had stepped into the level of refining gods and ghost kings.

The ghosts within a radius of dozens of miles all followed the flow of the ghost king's qi, and the right hand with green muscles condensed a huge amount of ghost qi and turned into huge ghost claws and fell heavily towards Shen Yuan.

The withered trees in the ghost swayed and twisted their bodies and let out bursts of laughter, and the massive evil in the shadows continued to give birth to demagogic whispers, and under one palm, there were boundless ghosts to suppress the Quartet, and there were also ghosts and ghosts to disturb the mind.

Between the roar of the ghost qi, Shen Yuan's long hair flew in the wind, and the next moment a sword light enveloped the ghost.

In the midst of this gray ghost, it was as if a great sun had broken through the night and descended on the ghost, and the ghosts and spirits melted like ice and snow under the great sun.

Zhu Ming's sword of the night slashed down, the ghost king's arm and body were separated, and the huge ghost claws that fell turned into countless ghost qi under the power of the great sun.

Then, Shen Yuan's indifferent voice sounded among the ghosts.

"Strength? It just so happens that I have it too. ”
