Chapter 40: Joint Practice

"There are few normal people in the black court. Xiao Lin looked at the poisonous dragon with a smile on his face, and couldn't help muttering, that guy was not a good person at first glance, but looking at the smile made Xiao Lin feel a chill.

He turned his head to see the expressions of the ghost hand and the black crow, which strengthened this thought, and he must keep his distance from the man named Poison Dragon during the days of joint practice.

They were still a short distance away from the Ghost Forest, and the ghost hand beckoned the students to enter the room to rest, while he and the crows were talking in a whisper.

"Has the poisonous dragon's stinky temper changed?" asked Ghost Hand, staring at the crow.

The black crow shrugged his shoulders: "The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. ”

Ghost Hand's face was a little ugly, and his eyes were gloomy and flashed with a sharp light: "If this thing dares to mess around during joint practice, I will destroy him." ”

The crow patted the ghost hand on the shoulder: "I'll help you then, otherwise you really won't be his opponent." ”

Ghost Hand nodded: "This is also something that allows the two of us to temporarily unite the front." ”

The black crow was noncommittal, and spread his hands: "In our group of students back then, you were the second most hated person, and the first was the poisonous dragon. ”

Ghost Hand laughed, but soon his voice lowered again: "It's a pity that there are not many people left in that group back then. ”

The crow was silent for a while.

Yes, they are the powerhouses of the Black Court, the cold-blooded and ruthless killers, and the executioners with countless lives on their hands, but they have no feelings, and their comrades-in-arms, friends and even lovers have left one by one, and their hearts have long been full of holes.

"It's a bit sensational. Ghost Hand suddenly coughed dryly, and his face was a little unnatural.

The black crow hurriedly withdrew the palm on the shoulder of the ghost hand and rubbed his nose: "I also think, I'll see you in the ghost forest for a while." ”

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry, looking a little embarrassed.

Ghost Hand watched the crow flee in a panic, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Lin stayed in the room of the transport ship, flipping through the thick manual page by page, yawning as he read, and rubbing his sleepy eyes with his hands from time to time.

"It's boring. Xiao Lin said to himself a little listlessly, "Uncle Wang taught me all the things in this book." He tossed the manual to the side, then twisted and threw himself out, falling into bed like a dive and falling asleep, he desperately needed to recover from the constant overdraft of his body these days.

Xiao Lin slept until mid-afternoon before he was woken up by the broadcast of the transport ship, and the words of the ghost hand came out of the loudspeaker, they had already arrived near the Forest of Powerful Ghosts, due to the special terrain, the transport ship could not continue to approach, and the next journey needed to be on foot.

Xiao Lin stretched his waist and got up from the bed, picked up the luggage that had been placed at the door, and rushed towards the meeting place.

As soon as Xiao Lin landed, he felt an eerie cold air rushing towards his face, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a forest shrouded in dense fog not far away.

The towering ancient trees stand there in patches, the leaves are not green nor yellow, but black, and the whole forest is like dyed with a layer of black ink, except for black and white, there is no third color, like a slowly opening landscape painting.

This is the second forest that Xiao Lin has come to, but the style is completely opposite, if the Yanlong Mountain Range is a long time ago, although it is only a forest, it exudes a heavy sense of solemnity, majestic and inviolable.

In contrast, the Forest of Powerful Ghosts is more like a ghost that is independent of the world and incompatible with the outside world, unable to feel life or hear any insects and birds, as silent as a dead place, the thick and viscous fog is like an ocean quietly sweeping and rolling, Xiao Lin seemed to see a vague figure shuttling back and forth in it, and the dead and godless pupils swept his face.

Xiao Lin was instantly shocked into a cold sweat, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye, unable to distinguish between the real and the fake, he muttered in a low voice: "Could there really be a ghost, right?" Or am I mistaken?"

"I saw it too. Linglong stood next to Xiao Lin and suddenly whispered, she was also horrified in her heart, as if she couldn't believe what she saw in front of her.

"What do you see?" Xiao Lin asked curiously.

"Ghosts. Linglong was silent for a while and said a word lightly, but her trembling voice betrayed the unpeace in her heart.

"Alas. Xiao Lin scratched his head and sighed, "I don't want to run into ghosts." ”

"Assemble!" Ghost Hand roared, beckoning all the students to gather in front of him at once.

"Listen to me. Ghost Hand said very seriously, "The trial of the Devil's Forest is not child's play, you are not allowed to leave the team without my order, and at the same time, don't care about any scene you see in the forest, it is not real." ”

Xiao Lin saw that the instructors and trainees of the other two branches had also assembled, and the three teams began to slowly march towards the depths of the Ghost Forest.

"Attention, our three instructors will not shoot casually, before arriving at the location of the joint training, you need to deal with the fierce beasts or enemies encountered on the way, and the location has been teleported to each of you on the communication compass. After Ghost Hand finished speaking, his figure disappeared immediately.

The students of the three divisions were stunned for a while, they were at a loss for what to do, it was the first time they had faced this situation, coupled with the eerie atmosphere of the Ghost Forest, no one dared to take the lead in moving forward.

Wind Thunder from the Crow Division walked to the front of their line: "Follow me." Without too many words, he led their students to set off with actions.

In the Poison Dragon Division, the boy in blue, who had seen him from a distance before, also walked to the front of the team and smiled and said, "Please obey my command." After saying that, he led the team and left.

Only the students of the Ghost Hand Branch were stunned and didn't know what to do, Xiao Lin touched his chin, he didn't have the idea of being the captain, but it was not a matter to stay in place all the time, and walked out first.

"Hey, what do you want to do? don't think you can command us. One of the cadets shouted.

"It's like, it's a person who can take the lead? What are you kidding? ”

Xiao Lin turned his head to look at those people: "You think too much, I don't plan to take the lead, I just want to go to the meeting place, go first, you are free." ”

After speaking, Xiao Lin was too lazy to watch them go directly to the depths of the forest, and the team jumped out and followed Xiao Lin.

The rest of the students looked at each other, and a few of them were still glaring at those who were talking cruelly, blaming them for driving away an extremely strong combat force.

Those people were a little embarrassed, so they could only cough dryly: "Let's also hurry up, don't be the last to arrive, it will be too embarrassing." ”

Xiao Lin had been shuttling through the woods, and when he turned around, he found Linglong following: "Why are you here?"

"Can't you?"

"Of course, it's better to have a companion than nothing. Xiao Lin shrugged his shoulders, "But this place has always made me feel bad." ”

Xiao Lin's eyes swept over the strange and cold forest, swallowing his saliva, if there was no fear in his heart, it must be fake, whoever was in this environment would be furious and cold sweat in his heart.

"Snort", there was a rustling sound in the grass not far away, Xiao Lin and Linglong immediately tensed, and suddenly put on a posture to meet the enemy, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

As a result, a small stone rolled out.

Linglong breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought there was an enemy." ”

"No!", Xiao Lin's face changed, and he immediately pulled Linglong back, and there were pitch-black flames jumping in his eyes.

As soon as they left their previous position, a pitch-black shadow burst out and rushed towards them with a mouth of blood flowing with drool.

"Fire Fist!" Xiao Lin blasted out with a punch, and the fierce flames surged, penetrating the black shadow at once, and the black shadow made a bubble cracking sound in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a black mist and disappeared without a trace.

"What's that?" Linglong's eyes were a little uncertain, and she was almost hit by that black shadow just now.

"I don't know. Xiao Lin's voice was a little solemn, "I didn't see the relevant records in the manual." ”

"What about the black shadow, is it dead?" Linglong looked around, but couldn't find any trace of the black shadow.

"No, probably hiding nearby. Xiao Lin's eyes were always flickering with pitch-black firelight, and he couldn't find the whereabouts of the black shadow.

"Let's hurry first, it's not the way to wait. Xiao Lin felt that they couldn't lead the way, they still had to follow their own rhythm.

Linglong nodded and agreed with Xiao Lin's words.

The two of them hit the road again, but the speed slowed down a lot, and with the attack of the black shadow before, they were even more careless now, and they would carefully observe the surrounding scene every time they advanced a distance, not letting go of any clues.

Xiao Lin frowned: "The speed of progress is too slow, when will we be able to arrive." ”

He looked at the map on the communication compass, they were still a long way away from their destination, the Forest of Powerful Ghosts was very large, and the location of their joint training was in the central area of the forest, and the inside was a forbidden area, even if it was a high-level ability, they would not dare to approach it easily.

"But there is no other way. Linglong is also at a loss, and there really is no better way to face this strange environment.

Xiao Lin sighed: "Forget it, let's just go like this, speed up a little." ”

The two men were on the road again, and as soon as they left, two black shadows silently appeared on the trees behind them, and then turned into mist and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The two kept shuttling through the forest, and what made Xiao Lin feel a little uneasy was that they had never encountered obstacles along the way, and he didn't feel happy about it, but the haze in his heart became heavier and heavier.

"Wait a minute. Linglong said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Lin immediately stopped, and he subconsciously lowered his voice with a delicate expression.

"There is a situation. Linglong's eyes swept around sharply.

"Why didn't I see anything?" Xiao Lin's eyes were beating with black flames, he didn't notice anything, there was a dead silence around him and there was not even a sound, "Could it be wrong?"

Linglong shook her head: "No, Yuzang fluctuated violently just now, and it has never been before." ”

As soon as the words fell, the trees around Xiao Lin and the others suddenly trembled violently, and a surging black mist swept out from the depths of the forest, rolling in mid-air.

The two reacted immediately, Xiao Lin's body suddenly burst into dazzling flames, and Linglong didn't have the idea of maintaining her strength, and immediately pulled out the Yuzang Sword, which was full of murderous aura.

The black mist kept rolling, suddenly bursting in the air and spreading in all directions, and then the black gas kept wriggling, changing into more than a dozen black shadows, including beasts, birds, and even humans.

Each black shadow had a pair of empty eyes, exuding a dazzling red glow, whistling back and forth in the air, enveloping Xiao Lin and Linglong.

There was an eerie silence, and the next moment a dozen black shadows moved, bringing a fierce wind, and the dry black leaves were flying like pitch-black butterflies, and the broken branches and rubble were swept up into the sky and turned into powder.

The black shadow turned into a pitch-black vortex and threw itself down on Xiao Lin and the two, drowning their figures in the blink of an eye.
