Chapter Twenty-Three: The Shadow of the Ancient Forest

I don't dare to say that the corpses are all over the field, but there are definitely a lot of corpses, and the corpses are completely undamaged, there are no wounds, and there are no blood stains on the ground, as if they died of poisoning.

"This is ......" Xiao Ye's pupils contracted, and a sense of crisis poured into his heart like a tidal wave.

"Ding Dong, the difficulty of the task exceeds expectations, and if you continue to complete the task, you will get an additional reward, a small advanced pill, and a reputation of fifty. ”

The sudden task reminder made Xiao Ye stunned.

Finding Ling Zixin is an A-level task, and the reward is a bottle of Little Red Potion and Little Blue Potion, and three parcels plus the Unsealing Refiner System.

Such rewards are already very rich, especially the opening of the refining system, which can definitely allow Xiao Ye to get more life-saving means.

However, when the spirit eye found the mist and the corpse of the demonic beast, the system increased the reward, and it is conceivable that this mission is not child's play.

"Young Master Xiao, have you found anything?" Xiao Ye's solemn expression made Ling Luo's brothers and sisters sink in their hearts.

"Well, it's a tricky thing. We'll rest tonight and we'll go back tomorrow. ”

Xiao Ye nodded solemnly, and did not elaborate, and the brother and sister did not ask, because it was already dark, it was impossible to hurry, and they immediately lit firewood.

Unlike before, there was no beast roar around, no blood-red eyes, and no signs of biological activity!

It's terrible to be quiet!

The cool breeze through the bones, "whooshing" through the ears, makes people feel uncomfortable, as if a poisonous snake is staring at them behind them.

This night was destined to be sleepless, the gray mist and the corpse of the demonic beast were too far apart, Xiao Ye did not know the specific situation, but he knew that the reason why a large number of demonic beasts appeared on the periphery of the ancient forest must be inextricably related to the scene in front of him.

The oppressive night finally slowly receded, but the sun did not show a smiling face, and he hid in the thick clouds, as if there was something terrible in the world that made him afraid.

This is the fourth day of entering the ancient forest, and the temperature is very low, and the air seems to be mixed with dust, and even breathing is no longer smooth.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak. ”

The spirit rabbit grinned in Ling Luo's arms, looking frightened, making the surrounding atmosphere even more depressing.

With uneasiness, the three of them began to move on, and soon they arrived in front of the mist, and when the Ling Luo brothers and sisters saw the mist and the beasts dead in the mist, their brows were equally deep.

"Not only the beasts died, but even the dead monsters, they didn't have any wounds on their bodies, and they should have died by inhaling mist. ”

Ling Chong said, a stream of true qi suddenly jumped out of his palm, and it catapulted into the mist.

True Qi was unhindered all the way, and it reverberated back and forth in the void a few times, Zuihou energy was exhausted and disappeared without a trace, and at this moment, Ling Chong's brows were locked even deeper.

"What did Brother Ling find?" Xiao Ye asked.

Ling Chong didn't answer immediately, but gritted his teeth, plucked up his courage, and resolutely stepped into the mist, and slowly took a breath.

This scene shocked Xiao Ye and Ling Luo, the composition of the mist had not yet been figured out, it was likely to be poisonous, Ling Chong was too careless.

"Sure enough, this mist is condensed by some kind of energy, he is not poisonous, but it has the effect of devouring life force. This is the usual technique of the Demon Sect, this mist is still in its infancy, and it only takes a little life extension to resist it. ”

Ling Chong was worthy of being an experienced person, he immediately revealed the identity of the mist, and when he spoke, he had already taken out a jade bottle, poured some powder into his mouth, and then threw the jade bottle to Ling Luo.

There are five major sects in the Zhengyuan Continent, and the five major sects referred to here are all decent sects, because in the Zhengyuan Continent, the Demon Dao is not recognized, so no matter how strong the Demon Sect is, it will not be recognized.

In addition to the five major sects of the righteous path, the strength of the Demon Sect is also very strong, but their number is small, and their cultivation methods are quite bloody, so they will not be easily revealed under normal circumstances.

"Brother Ling means there is a Demon Sect disciple here?"

Xiao Ye continued to live and asked in surprise.

Ling Chong and Ling Luo's expressions at the moment were also extremely solemn, if there were really a Demon Sect disciple lurking in the Xiao Family Ancient Forest and related to Ling Zixin, then Ling Zixin would be more than lucky.

Disciples of the Demon Sect, the cultivation method is mainly bloody, men and women are the same in their eyes, they kill if they are unhappy, and they never talk nonsense.

"Xiao Gongzi, let's give up, Zixin, we won't look for it. Ling Luo said this, surprisingly, this time Ling Luo just bit his red lip, his face was full of unwillingness, but Zuihou did not refute.

Before, Ling Luo was imperative to find Ling Zixin, and he couldn't tolerate any words of opposition, but now he chose to remain silent.

Both siblings had realized how terrible it would be to continue, and they both knew they couldn't force it anymore.

But Xiao Ye can't give up, it's a task, even if he fights for his life, he must go on.

"Let's go, I'll handle this alone. Xiao Ye said stubbornly.

"Xiao Gongzi, why do you have to be like this? This matter is already a matter of life and death, you have a great haode background, you have an endless future, Zixin's matter has nothing to do with you in the end, why do you insist on going your own way and risking death to investigate?"

Ling Chong stopped Xiao Ye, he didn't understand why Xiao Ye was so stubborn about Ling Zixin's matter, and was even willing to risk his life.

"Xiao Gongzi, forget it, Sister Zixin may never be able to get it back, if you are involved, then our Ling family will blame ourselves for the rest of our lives. ”

Ling Luo also opened her mouth to persuade that she was unwilling to give up Ling Zixin, but she couldn't joke with her brother's and Xiao Ye's lives.

In the face of Ling Luo's brothers and sisters, Xiao Ye was righteous and awe-inspiring: "You all thought wrong, I didn't do it for Ling Zixin." Have you forgotten that Xiao Qin is in the depths of that mist?"

"He is a disciple of the Xiao family, and it has something to do with Ling Zixin's matter, and it has something to do with the disciple of the Demon Sect in the mist, if you don't investigate this matter clearly, won't it leave a bane? I will handle this matter myself, you can leave first." ”

Waking up the person in the dream with a word, although it was the reason for Xiao Ye to divert his gaze, it was justified and convincing.

His purpose was Ling Zixin, but he could transfer the reason for moving forward to Xiao Qin, and there were almost no loopholes.

The Ling Luo brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and then looked at Xiao Ye's determined gaze, they knew that they couldn't stop Xiao Ye at all, and they were not qualified to stop it!

For the sake of the Xiao family, Xiao Ye can risk his life and go deep into the fog.

Ling Zixin is their sister and is related by blood, is they going to leave like this?

The two brothers and sisters, their eyes were cloudy, and Zuihou's eyes were firm.

"Since Xiao Gongzi has such courage, my brother and sister will accompany them to the end, and see who this troublemaker is, even if he dies, he must find out the truth. ”

"It's decided, don't regret it! Now we're going to start going deep into the mist, let's let the spirit rabbit wait on the outskirts of the ancient forest, he can't resist the mist. ”

After the three of them had made up their minds, Ling Luo let the spirit rabbit out.

The three figures began to march towards the depths of the mist, and inside this mist, due to the large number of corpses on the ground, there were bursts of rancid and bloody floating in the air, and the visibility was only about five zhang.

The surrounding area was very cloudy, there was no sign of wind, and the trees had begun to wither.

Inside the mist, there was a dead silence, and there was no life.

Xiao Ye was very careful because he had spiritual eyes in his body, so he walked at the forefront, he was very careful, and even his breathing was deliberately suppressed, and his steps were even smaller steps, for fear of making a sound.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Xiao Ye waved his hand to signal the Ling Luo brothers and sisters to stop, and he bent down and stared at a row of footprints.

"The soil here is relatively soft, and it is easy to leave footprints, you look at this row of footprints, it is obvious that they have just been left, and there is a drop of blood, which should be Xiao Qin's. Xiao Ye analyzed.

"Xiao Gongzi, look over there, there are footprints there, the size is different from Xiao Qin's, and they have been left for a long time. Ling Luo pointed to the front right, where a row of completely different footprints also appeared.

Ling Luo's opinion was still on the surface, and when Xiao Ye and Ling Chong saw the row of footprints, their faces became extremely solemn.

Xiao Qin's footprints are about half an inch into the ground, which is more obvious. The row of footprints in the distance almost only left a layer of dust on the ground, and the depression of the ground was very blurry.

This is because the walker is extremely fast, dexterous, in other words, very strong.

"To be able to do this level without deliberately, the other party is at least a martial artist, it seems that Xiao Zhen is right, the enemy is indeed very strong. ”

Ling Chong's analysis was not much different from Xiao Ye, the enemy was indeed strong, and it was not far from here, there should be one of his lairs ahead.

The crisis is ahead, Xiao Qin is ahead, the task is ahead, you can't go back, you can only move forward.

"Let's be careful and move slowly, as long as we don't alarm the people of the Demon Sect, there should be no danger. ”

As soon as Xiao Ye waved his hand, the three of them bowed their heads and bent over, taking careful steps and continuing to move forward.

There is a small rockery in front, only about three zhang high, the grass and trees on the body surface have long withered, and the rockery looks like an irregular boulder.

Under the rockery, there is a small cave, and the fog is constantly floating out of the cave, and there is the source.

With the rockery as the center, the fog around is the thickest, and the cave is faintly like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth, which is very gloomy.

Xiao Ye and the three of them hid behind the big tree from a distance, looking at the cave from afar, and at the same time held their breath, they knew that the powerful enemy was in the cave, and Ling Zixin and Xiao Qin were also likely to be inside the cave.

"Brother Yang, you must help me avenge me, and you must not let them leave alive. Suddenly, there was an angry roar from inside the cave, and there was no doubt that it was Xiao Qin who was not fake.

There was silence in the cave for a while, and then another voice came, this voice did not sound like the imaginary yin and yang, but was very decent and very young, and it was estimated that the age of the person who spoke was almost the same as Ling Luo.

"Brother Xiao, don't be impatient, now it coincides with the Xiao family's hunting, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to live in this Xiao family's ancient forest. The few people you mentioned can be solved at any time, and there is no need to rush it. It's about the furnace, Brother Xiao doesn't seem to be very concerned, it's been so long, and only three women have been attracted, isn't it a little unreasonable?"

When these words reached the ears of Xiao Ye and the others, a compelling murderous aura suddenly emanated from the bodies of the Ling Luo brothers and sisters!
