Chapter 208: Ghost Forest

Where there is no light, it is naturally not worth their attention.

As for the demon spirits, after these days of exploration, they didn't think that there would be any living demon spirits in Yanzhou.

They soon left Chang Ling's hiding place.

Waiting for them to completely go away, Chang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and he was in no mood to continue meditating.

In his heart, he was thinking about how far away he could sneak behind them so that he could not be noticed by the Jindan Realm cultivator.

These disciples who came to Yanzhou from the inland all wore masks, presumably to isolate the demonic energy.

There should still be demonic energy attached to the bones of the demon spirit that has not escaped yet.

It may be because Chang Ling already has a little demonic qi in her body, and her ability to resist demonic qi is not weak now, but she can hold on to it for a while without any protection in the current Yanzhou.

Chang Ling followed behind this group of people from a distance, her spirit carefully observing the situation in front of her, this group of people was just picking up the storage artifacts and spirit stones left by the monks who died in Yanzhou, and they didn't seem to have the will to carefully investigate the situation.

It's going fast.

Chang Ling watched them take out pieces of shiny spirit stones from the dust with disgust on their faces, and hurriedly threw out the bones of their former companions as soon as they were now black ashes.

A group of people kept marching, and soon came to the 'Ghost Forest'.

The so-called ghost forest, probably in Yanzhou before, is also a well-known scenic spot.

It's overgrown with towering ancient trees.

At first, when the demonic qi was not very strong, this was still a hiding place for many monks and mortals.

Until the gray grass beneath their feet began to eat away at their flesh in their sleep, and the ancient trees that inhabited them began to twist and twist......

Soon the people forgot its previous name and called it 'Ghost Forest' with awe and disgust.

Chang Ling has been avoiding it as much as possible during these days in Yanzhou.

Another characteristic of plants is their tenacious vitality.

The tree that hunted her earlier was obviously not the most prominent one on the land of Yanzhou.

At the edge of the Ghost Forest, she had felt several more terrifying auras.

Maybe under that kind of attack, there will really be surviving demon spirits in the Ghost Forest.

And the creatures sent to the door at this time are obviously the best nourishment.

Looking at the group of people marching in the direction of the Ghost Forest, Chang Ling hesitated for a while.

After the plant was infected by the demonic energy, it remained harmless for a long time, and when it exploded in an instant, countless people died here.

Naturally, there are a lot of storage artifacts and spirit stones left behind by monks.

In the eyes of the monks who had seen the Soul Fruit drop in their eyes, the entire charred black forest shone brightly.

Along the way, they haven't even seen a single demon spirit turned into an animal or a human, let alone a demon spirit transformed from a plant.

In other words, the people on the other side of the barrier never thought that even plants could become so terrifying.

It is definitely a puzzling phenomenon that so many monks' relics suddenly appeared in such a forest.

But after walking for such a long time, they still didn't see the demon spirit, and confidence had filled their eyes, and they didn't hesitate to raise their feet and walk inside.

Soon their figures disappeared into the blackened woods.

Chang Ling, who was not far away, gritted his teeth and raised his heel.

The monks in front of them strode forward, staring only at the treasures scattered all over the place.

Behind them, the blackened vines moved quietly, imperceptible in the dark forest.

For a moment, all I could hear was the sound of their footsteps moving forward and the clatter of the charred grass beneath their feet.

When Chang Ling was at the saddest of his days, he also lived on the edge of the ghost forest for a short time.

Barely able to be the natural enemy of the Yanzhou Demon Spirit, to bring a large area on the edge of the Ghost Forest, no Demon Spirit dares to step in.

Although she didn't go deeper, she still barely knew something about the things in the ghost forest.

After those plants were infected by the demonic qi and mutated, they could no longer see the appearance of the previous varieties at all, and Chang Ling could only reluctantly call them by names such as gray tree, black tree, and gray vine.

The most tricky thing in this ghost forest should be the gray vines that are everywhere.

No one knows where its root system is, and it appears in almost every corner of the ghost forest.

Before you know it, the gods go around behind you and wrap around you tightly.

However, this gray vine probably identifies the 'prey' by smell, Chang Ling had barely cut off some vines before, and smeared the gray juice all over his body, so he could barely 'stay' in the ghost forest without being disturbed.

The gray vine can wrap around various plants in the ghost forest, and naturally it can also burrow into places such as tree holes, and the ground must be covered with its root system.

Chang Ling didn't think that the previous attack from the monk on the other side of the barrier would be able to wipe out all the gray vines.

She cautiously stepped in, perhaps mischaracterizing it.

In order to avoid the perception of plants in the ghost forest to the greatest extent, Chang Ling's feet did not actually step on the ground.

Slightly suspended in the air, she still walked as usual, but the consumption of her spiritual power was not small.

The monks in front of them were busy picking up and distinguishing things on the ground, and their speed naturally slowed down.

Entering this ghost forest, the aura on Chang Ling's body was most perfectly covered by the demonic qi here, except for carefully observing the situation in this forest, he was not restrained as before.

Soon, she saw her old friend.

Even though the skin had turned black, the vines were still moving quickly and silently from tree to tree.

I don't know if it's because these trees are clustered together, they don't turn to ashes when they touch like the tree that captured Chang Ling, and the trunk is still very solid.

Presumably, these monks in front of them died here, and after their spiritual power and flesh became nourishment, this forest would be 'rejuvenated' again.

Chang Ling's face became a little solemn.

She pretended to unconsciously approach the tree next to her, and the gray vines wrapped around the tree were naturally waiting for an opportunity.

At the moment when the charred black vine shot towards Chang Ling, she stretched out her hand violently and held the gray vine tightly.

In fact, the combined efforts of the monks on the other side of the barrier before still had an effect, and the surface of the gray vine was originally full of gray barbs, presumably as long as the sharp barbs penetrated the skin of the creatures, they would be infected by demonic energy.

Of course, they often can't wait for that time.

Now that the gray vine has lost those barbs on the surface, Chang Ling is even more handy in handling it.

After the Yuan Sacrifice Sword cut off a section of vines very neatly, Chang Ling hurriedly moved away from the trees that were entwined with obscure vines.

This gray vine is not only charred and blackened on the surface, but also has a lot less juice inside.

Chang Ling finally squeezed out a few drops, and he didn't care about the pungent smell, so he smeared them all on himself.

After scribbling around, she felt that her sense of 'eyeing the tiger' around her was much weaker.

She tentatively approached the nearby tree, and the vines wrapped around it were also indifferent.

Chang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and his divine sense detected the direction in which the monks were traveling before, and hurriedly lifted his heels.

As probably the top existence in this forest, I felt the breath of gray vines, and the trees that were still alive next to me were a lot more settled.

Chang Ling looked at the figures in front of him who were concentrating on finding the treasure, and he was also a little excited for a while, maybe there were some robes with good materials in the storage magic vessel......

After the 'battle' with the vine just now, Chang Ling's two sleeves had all turned into ashes, and some of his pale skin was exposed to the air.

Chang Ling didn't seem to have any muscles all over his body, and his whole body was pale and thin, and he couldn't imagine how terrifying the explosive power was in such a small body.

She sighed softly and quietly leaned over to the men.

One step ahead of her, it was naturally the gray vine.

The sharp-eyed Chang Ling immediately spotted the vines that were about to wrap around the Condensing Realm monk closest to her.

There were no barbs on the gray vine, and they were directly wound to the point of hanging, and it was harmless for the monk.

Chang Ling quietly investigated the situation there, and had no desire to make a move.

Not even a word of warning.

After following this group of people for so long, Chang Ling was also full of worries about them.

Even the current Yanzhou is not as peaceful as they imagined.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if the gray vine could teach them a lesson.

Chang Ling didn't want anyone to die here, and he didn't want any more demons to appear.

The gray vine didn't aim at the monk's vital point, but wrapped tightly around his ankle and jerked backwards.

Before he could react, his whole body was thrown to the ground.

As soon as he fell, among the ashes of the fallen leaves under him, several vines quickly wrapped around his whole body.

As soon as his scream came out, the whole person was almost wrapped in airtight.

The Jindan Realm monk who led the team reflected, and quickly muttered a few characters in his mouth, and a dazzling light exploded in place.

Chang Ling, who was hiding on the side, couldn't help but widen his glasses.

Her mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, and forcibly swallowed all the words back into her stomach.

This Jindan Realm monk naturally made a good move, but it was not to save the monk who was tightly entangled by vines.

The mass of vines, along with the monks who were wrapped inside, burned violently between the gray heaven and the earth.

His move turned out to be disregarding the life of that Condensing Realm cultivator, and he just wanted to 'exterminate' the thing in front of him.

In Chang Ling's expectation, it only took a few swords to cut off those vines and then rescue the monk, and from then on, their team had more awe for Yanzhou, and they could be more cautious and better in their future journeys.

Chang Ling didn't expect this to be the end.

The monks no longer cared about the movements in their hands, and they all stood up and gathered together, silently watching the flame burn continuously.

Until everything around it is burned to ashes.

Presumably, he also sensed the strong aura of the Jindan Realm cultivator, and the gray vine also withdrew far away, looking harmless.

I don't know how long the silence lasted, and the Jindan Realm monk who was the leader said with some sadness: "It's our carelessness, Xiaofeng is ......."

"It's not Uncle Shi's fault, we didn't expect that the plants in Yanzhou had also undergone abnormal changes, so we still had to send the news back to the sect as soon as possible. ”

............

They chattered, and walked away from the woods as they spoke.

Of course, he didn't forget to take the storage artifact of the monk who was burned to death.

It wasn't until they completely walked out of the ghost forest that Chang Ling walked out from behind the trees where he was hiding.

She walked over to the rather messy place, barely burying the charred corpse.

Presumably, the monks who have gone will always remember this lesson, a lesson that their companions taught them with death.

"I'm sorry. Chang Ling said softly to the dirt bag in front of him.

There was a little grief on her face, but her tone was very light.

It's as if you're talking about anything inconsequential, light-hearted, ordinary.

What did his death have to do with her?

He himself chose to explore Yanzhou, careless and greedy.

He followed the leader to voluntarily enter the ghost forest, and even after he was entangled in vines, it was also his elders who burned him.

What does it have to do with her?

Chang Ling was stunned for a while, then got up and walked around the ghost forest again, and finally found a good robe in a storage artifact that was originally hanging on the treetops.

After changing her clothes, she turned around and walked briskly out of the ghost forest.

The departure from where she had come in was in the opposite direction to that of the monks who had traveled before.

Having achieved her goal, she was not prepared to have any more contact with the monks before her.

It can be seen from the way that Jindan Realm disciple dealt with his fellow disciples that they were afraid that they would strangle all the living creatures they saw in Yanzhou.

Chang Ling still didn't have the confidence to fight head-on with a Jindan Realm monk from a famous family with countless hole cards.

Soon after leaving the Ghost Forest, she found a cave that had not collapsed yet, and walked in to continue recovering from her injuries.

As the strength of her body continued to increase, the medicinal power of the spirit grass she had taken before had all dissolved, and she combed through the huge energy in her body over and over again, and as the pain hit one after another, her injuries were constantly recovering.

I don't know how long it took, but the faint sound of conversation woke her up from her practice.

She snapped open her eyes and clenched the Abyss Sword that had been placed aside.

In the darkness, she heard someone ask, "Who's over there?"

Who was it that found her trace directly.

Chang Ling didn't say anything.

The inquiring voice was getting closer and closer to her.

Chang Ling did not set up a barrier at the entrance of the cave, and soon, the two figures were clearly visible under the white moonlight.

They also saw Chang Ling clearly at the same time.

Chang Ling blinked in disbelief.
