Outside town.

The nine-foot-high walls towered over the earth, glowing with fine iron, and when you looked up, it looked like a monster lying on the ground.

There is not a single gap between the masonry and stone, and even its hardness is comparable to the granite on the volcano, which is obviously cast by some secret method.

What's more, the rocks that make up the walls are a strange dark red color, like a long-dried bloodstain.

When ordinary people look at it, they can't help but feel a sense of horror in their hearts, as if they have seen something fierce.

It is different from the walls formed by monks who are inscribed with a large number of formation prohibitions, or use spiritual materials to burn runes.

The human race here does not have a deep or long heritage, it is a city wall used for defense, and there are no formations and other means, so it can only take the most primitive methods to deter attackers.

That is to use the flesh and blood of the enemy, the ferocious aura generated by the death of a large number of monsters, like a beast fighting, to carve out their own territory!

At this moment, under the town, the residual smell of blood in the air has not yet dissipated, and there are still patches of blood that have not dried up on the surrounding ground.

couldn't help but frighten a group of teenagers in strong suits tremble, and even Luo Xuan's face became very ugly.

"Huh! The people in the town are really not as good as the generation, they don't even see monsters, not even corpses, and they are scared like this when they look at the blood! ”

A few days ago, Zhou Bao, the patrol leader who led Luo Xuan, who looked like a mandrill, couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw this.

He was the captain in charge of this group of young trials.

"Do you know that this blood, if the farmers in the town who go out to work see it, I don't know how ecstatic they will be, these are the best fertilizers!"

"Hee-hee! After all, these little guys are also the first time, Zhou Bao, don't ask for too much! ”

Next to Zhou Bao, there stood a middle-aged man with a pale face, but still in human form.

A smile spread across his face, as if he were speaking for the teenagers.

But when his pale eyes with no pitch-black pupils swept over everyone, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill for the latter.

The other party gave Luo Xuan the feeling that he was looking at ...... Food in general.

"Yang Qingping!" Seeing this scene, Zhou Leopard's crimson eyes stared at him, and he said coldly, "You restrain a little!" ”

"I'm already converging. You should also know that the talent of the Soul Eater lies in the soul aspect, and all of its backlash is far stronger than yours. Yang Qing said expressionlessly, there was an indescribable evil nature in his eyes without pupils, "I can control it now, maintain my sanity, and I have done my best." ”

Zhou Bao was silent for a moment.

He swallowed the secret medicine, and although he gained strength, he also became a man and a ghost.

Although Yang Qingping maintained his human form, the inner madness and pain were far more serious than him, and in the end, when his reason was completely lost, he would become a new soul devouring beast.

And this is the price of swallowing the secret medicine.

"Let's go."

Eventually, he said.

Soon, everyone was on the road.

The dark yellow mixed with the pale red sunset enveloped the whole land, and everyone seemed to walk in a bloody color.

The earth was pitch black, decaying, and had a faint fishy stench, and the plants on it, mostly dark and terrifyingly toxic, even worse, showed human faces.

Of course, there are also colorful plants, such as Luo Xuan saw a huge golden flower on the road.

But when Zhou Bao and the others saw this, their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly retreated.

This flower is 100 zhang high, the whole body is emerald green, the corolla is flat like a plate, and it is golden, like a huge sunflower.

But in the middle of the sunflowers, there are ...... Face?!

Obviously, this is a real evil thing!

Not only that, but there are also floating huge glowing jellyfish, red-eyed, dense rotten crows, and countless fleshy balls gathered together......

Although he encountered these dangers on the road, Luo Xuan, under the reminder of his grandfather, the strength of these evil creatures had already reached the Qi Refining Dynasty and even the foundation building among the monks.

If they fail to avoid it, and the Guardians hiding in the shadows fail to strike in time, it will be the end of the annihilation!

About a morning later, under the leadership of the two of them, they gradually arrived in front of a forest.

This forest is extremely weird, obviously everything on the earth is in a dusk sunset, but in the forest, there is no light at all, as if in the boundless night.

"Here we are."

Yang Qingping and the others led people here, and when they saw the scene in front of them, a thick solemnity mixed with jealousy appeared on their faces.

"Even if the race battle in the future is in urgent need of new strength, it won't come here to try, right?" Zhou Bao's face was heavy, "You know, if this place is not careful, even we may fall!" ”

"Now, do we have any other choice?" Yang Qingping's face was unexpectedly flat, "In the first three races, we all lost. ”

"The town's population is nowhere near as fast as it is dying. If we don't make a desperate bet this time, capture the human seed [Female Tree], and quickly replenish new blood, otherwise in the end, our town will have to die sooner or later! ”

"Can I let this group of teenagers who have just come of age ......"

"We didn't have a choice." Yang Qingping's miserable white eyes looked at Zhou Bao, "Not to mention, you should also be clear." Our secret medicine cultivator's path has no cultivation at all. ”

"As long as you hone your will in life-and-death battles, and then swallow a large amount of the same type of secret medicine, you can grow up in the shortest possible time!"

"And this group of teenagers, even if only one grows up and reaches the strength of you and me, it is enough to contribute to the battle for race, even if it is just cannon fodder, it can have one more chance of success!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Bao fell silent instantly.

He naturally knew that what the other party said was right.

The teenagers they led were only one-tenth of their generation, and they were the first to set off.

As long as they can cultivate a strong person among the secret medicine cultivators in the shortest possible time, then even if the others die, it doesn't matter in the slightest.

As for the death of this generation of secret medicine monks, whether it will affect the combat power of the next generation, there is no need to worry at all.

Because as long as the human seed [Female Tree] is captured, the town can produce a large number of people in the shortest possible time to make up for the consumption.

Therefore, if you use Lin Chen's words, the population of this continent, as long as it has a human race, is really true to the town, and it will be "refreshed".

"In that case, let's go." Zhou Bao sighed lightly and looked at the strange forest in front of him that seemed to be shrouded in night, and his expression became extremely solemn.

This is the Forest of Eternal Night.

The Eternal Night Forest is also one of the iconic regions of the Black Mist Continent.

Its coverage is extremely wide, stretching from the center of the continent to the edges, stretching for many miles.

In the core place, there are countless terrifying and grotesque demons, and there are strange and strange phenomena, and I don't know how many weird things are born in it, which is a forbidden place on this continent.

But in such a dangerous place as the Eternal Night Forest, at the edge, there are the surviving human settlements of all sizes on the Black Mist Continent today.

They were like nodes or sentinels, converging at the edges, becoming an extension of the forbidden land, no, to be precise, a blockade line.

"Ahead, it's the Forest of the Night."

Outside the Eternal Night Forest, Luo Xuan and the others had already arrived.

Among the patrols in the town, Zhou Bao, a secret medicine monk who can also be used in the world to defeat thousands of troops, looked at the forest not far away, and his eyes flashed with a thick color of jealousy.

I saw that the place where they stood was the place where the blood-colored light of the sun shone in the sky like dusk.

The dull yellow and reddish sunlight does not feel a little warmth, but it brings light.

But in the forest not far away, there was also a dark yellow sunset above, but in the forest, it was dim, as if it was covered with a layer of surging night. Faintly, it seems that something can still be seen, faintly spreading in the corner.

And on the twisted trunks of the forest, there are blurry and strange human faces that I don't know whether they are imprinted, or intertwined textures.

They opened their mouths wide as if they were screaming, and their faces showed a hideous and resentful look, which made people feel indescribably terrifying.

A group of teenagers turned pale with fright when they saw this scene, and their whole bodies trembled, and even Luo Xuan, who was quite bold, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Give me attention! Although this is only the edge of the forest, there are still a lot of monsters that are weird, and although most of them are at the 'demon' level, they will still die if you are not careful...... What's more, there are also some unexplained 'grotesque' that appear and disappear randomly...... Even we can only consider ourselves unlucky......"

At this time, the tone of the team leader Zhou Bao also became extremely solemn.

Although he also knew that the town wanted to take advantage of the danger here to let this group of teenagers grow up as fast as possible.

But the danger here is too great, if you are careless, even a secret medicine monk like him, whose strength in the town is considered to be the highest, will have to fold here.

But everything has been decided, and now, there is not so much room for regret.

"I just hope those guys who are secretly following can be reliable......

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said in a heavy and warning tone:

"Next, we are going to enter the Eternal Night Forest, and you have all memorized the taboos and precautions that exist in it, otherwise if you die inside, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

"Yes!" The boys' bodies were shocked, and they hurriedly responded.

"Good!" Zhou Bao nodded, his sharp gaze swept over everyone, and said in a deep voice, "The following three are the rules that I must follow to enter the Eternal Night Forest!" ”

"1. In the state of a living person, in the Forest of Eternal Night, at all times, you must keep yourself within the range of the light of the flame! If anyone leaves the light for more than ten breaths, check whether his blood is dark red, and whoever does not follow it will be killed! ”

"Second, be optimistic about your own shadow, and also pay attention to the shadow of others! Keep in mind the number and number of shadows, and if you find someone whose shadow is missing, let that person know immediately! And let him recall the memories of entering the forest, find out where the missing parts are, and make up for them! ”

"Three, anyone who dies here must completely destroy his body, and more importantly, his soul, otherwise he will be killed by a terrifying evil spirit!"

"These three rules, no matter what, all of you must abide by them, this is the rule of survival that we have summed up in this forest after countless lives have been exhausted."

"If someone doesn't follow the instructions and implicates other people, then Lao Tzu will kill you on the spot, no matter what your identity is!"

"Do you understand?!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Bao's tone was already extremely harsh.

“…… Got it. ”

"What's the matter with being neat and like a?!"

"Got it!"

"In that case, let's go!"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Bao directly led the team forward.

After all, even in the marginal areas, there are not a lot of dangers, so it is natural that the strongest combat effectiveness in the team will lead the team in front to deal with all kinds of sudden crises.

"Tsk...... It seems that the survival of the human race on this continent is really difficult. Not only do you have to deal with all kinds of demons and monsters, but you also have to stop the expansion of these strange forbidden lands......"

Just as the crowd walked forward with a solemn face, Lin Chen in Luo Xuan's mind suddenly sighed with emotion.

"Huh? Dilate? Grandpa, what do you mean by that? ”

After Luo Xuan heard this, his footsteps paused slightly, but then he quickly walked up and asked nonchalantly.

"Naturally, it is literal."

Lin Chen explained casually.

"This forest is so dangerous, and from time to time there are demons and monsters roaming out of it, mixed with terrifying spirits, even in its fringe area, it is definitely not a safe place to live."

"But according to the information I got in the town, there are quite a few human settlements gathered nearby, don't you think it's strange?"

"That'...... What is this for? ”

Lin Chen explained lightly:

"On the one hand, although there are a lot of demons and monsters here, it is also the source of materials for various secret medicines. In other words, although it is very dangerous, it is also the best place to gain power. ”

"After all, on this crisis-ridden continent, even if you find a relatively safe place to survive on one side, as long as you don't continue to make progress, one day, you will also usher in destruction."

"On the other hand, and most crucially, the forest is constantly expanding and encroaching on the surrounding land that has not been eroded."

"The reason why the remnants of the Terrans of this continent have established territory here is to curb their erosion."

"Otherwise, if we don't stop this erosion, sooner or later, the entire continent will be shrouded in this eternal night forest."

"At that time, even if the Terrans survive, I am afraid that they will be surrounded by all kinds of terrifying taboos, and at that time, in order to survive, you will have to follow various rules, and at that time, I am afraid that this place will really evolve into a game of rules and strange talk......"

Luo Xuan didn't understand Lin Chen's last sentence, but he still asked out loud the question he was most concerned about:

"Grandpa, what's the matter with those three rules?"

"It should be the surviving humans here who have insight into some of the mechanics and dangers, but then again......"

Speaking of this, Lin Chen's tone brought a touch of interest:

"This forest of eternal night...... It's unique. The shrouded night was able to ignore the natural changes of the day, change the celestial phenomena of one place, and more spontaneously form a region that is incompatible with the surrounding area......"

"And it's also expansive. And the three rules summarized here, I am afraid that this kind of surviving Terran has discovered some of the mechanisms. ”

"Interesting. Changing the celestial phenomena of a place, having a unique operating mechanism that is different from nature, and the ability to cover the scope of a place...... This is really like the Yuanying Monk's—Dao Domain......"

"Grandpa, what is the Dao Domain?" Luo Xuan hurriedly asked.

Lin Chen didn't answer, but thought in his heart.

The reason why this thought came to reality was for two main purposes.

The first is to spread the experimental Yuan Shen Dao method, prepare for the future promotion, and at the same time build up forces and collect resources, so as to start building spiritual nets, virtual caves and other big projects.

The other, and the main purpose of the moment, is to ...... Find a way to awaken his almost eternal sleep.

That dream world was far more difficult to refine than he imagined.

After all, it is composed of the three extremely high powers of refining the Void Spirit Rune, the Tianhe Starlight, and the Dream Realm Power.

Even if they were entangled and restrained with each other, cut off the source of strength, and consumed each other, it was not something that a small golden pill could carry, let alone refining, and even the Yuanying Cultivator was not necessarily qualified.

If it weren't for the particularity of Lin Chen's divine soul, let alone sleeping for a hundred years, he wouldn't even be able to form a dream, he would directly die violently in the teleportation, and his soul would be destroyed.

But even if they survived and experienced hundreds of years of fusion, they were entangled with each other, but if they wanted to completely dominate and refine their dreams, it would not be a thing that could succeed in a short period of time.

So now I have to find a way to find the straw that will break the camel's back." But even if it's just a straw, the power level has also been reached Yuanying, otherwise there is no way to help the body at all, and now it ......

Just as Lin Chen was thinking, Luo Xuan's team finally entered the Eternal Night Forest.

Suddenly, the boundless darkness of the night hit like a tide.
