Chapter 50: The Forbidden Land

In the dark, Wan Ting's white clothes were stained with blood, quietly cross-legged on the ground, and the ashes on her face could not hide her holy temperament, like a quiet fairy, silently guarding.

On Wan Ting's lap, Yuan Qi was reclining, his body was cold, and he hadn't woken up so far.

Wan Ting looked at Yuan Qi, her left hand gently stroked his cold face, her eyes were full of tenderness, even if she felt the coldness of death on her body, Wan Ting still firmly believed that he was not dead. Because, in their clasped hands, she could feel the residual temperature of Yuan Qi's palm, although it was very low, but it was very real.

"You must come back to life!" Wan Ting whispered, grabbed his other hand, gently put it on his face, and said stupidly, "If you can wake up, I will promise you whatever you say!"

Wan Ting had tears in her eyes, from realizing familiarity, to taking risks with each other, to giving up his only chance to escape without hesitation just now to save himself. Bit by bit, it kept coming to mind, looking at the two hands that were holding each other, a sweet smile appeared on her tearful face, it turned out that she was unconsciously already connected to him.

Endless darkness, who would have thought that there would be a woman who would conduct her only remaining spiritual power and heat over and over again to a cold body.

There is no night or day here, I don't know how long it has been, God seems to pity this woman who is waiting in the dry night, with her efforts, Yuan Qi's fingers finally moved, and the temperature of the palm gradually spread throughout the body, and finally, in this darkness, there was a sound of breathing.

Wan Ting was pleasantly surprised, her forehead was full of beads of sweat, and she looked very weak, but the aura on her body still flowed into Yuan Qi's body along the palm of her hand.

Heavy wheezing sounded, Yuan Qi finally opened his eyes, but Wan Ting was already extremely weak, so tired that she couldn't even speak, her head crawled on Yuan Qi's chest, and she fell asleep.

Yuan Qi's eyes were clear, the previous madness was gone, he sat up and looked at Wan Ting in his arms blankly, both distressed and moved!

At the same time, Yuan Qi was also very puzzled, and beat his head vigorously, he was not ignorant of the demon, on the contrary, at the last moment, he remembered some things when he was a child, and in a trance he saw a little girl called his brother.

"Could it be that the brother she called is just me?" Yuan Qi's head hurt, he remembered that in a dark and damp place, there were many children who were about the same as himself, an iron door cut off everything, and several black-clothed men stood in front of the door, like a big mountain, making it difficult for people to cross the thunder pond by half a step, and then there were children who were taken away by them and never came back.

After that, Yuan Qi never remembered it anymore, and vaguely seemed to ignore the most important part, and said to himself: "Could it be that the strangeness in my body is related to the part of my memory that I lost?"

The pain on his body interrupted Yuan Qi's thoughts, he sat up cross-legged, washed his whole body with aura, it was strange to say, he endured countless paw prints, and his chest was almost pierced by the Blood Demon King, at the last moment, he was almost used as a meat shield, and received so many clever attacks, such an injury would have died on the spot if it were an ordinary person, and Yuan Qi actually survived, it was really incredible.

The spiritual power washed the whole body, and those terrible wounds gradually healed.

After a long time, Yuan Qi opened his eyes again, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said to himself: "Although the external injury is good, this internal injury can only be slowly boiled by time!"

Looking at Wan Ting in her arms, she was still asleep, and she seemed to have a sweet smile on her mouth.

Yuan Qi didn't bother, but quietly observed the darkness here.

"Is there a wind?" Yuan Qi was puzzled, and a whirring voice came from his ears, "No, this is not a natural wind, but it seems to be a wind brought up by something!"

"What people!" Yuan Qi shouted, but unfortunately all he responded to was a steady stream of echoes.

Suddenly, in the depths of the pitch darkness, something strange changed, and a ghostly light appeared, much like a person's eyes.

Yuan Qi was on guard, judging by the voice, it was very big, there was an echo, and there seemed to be something alive.

With a warning, Wan Ting in her arms opened her eyes, she saw Yuan Qi's chin, her face turned red, and she hurriedly sat up.

"You're awake!" Yuan Qi was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "Thank you!"

"You saved me, I should thank you!" For some reason, there were thousands of words between them, but they couldn't speak at the moment.

"What's that!" Wan Ting also noticed the ghostly light in the distance and asked.

"I don't know either!" Yuan Qi shook his head, suddenly remembered something, and said loudly, "Senior sister, Moonlight Pei, borrow it and use it, maybe it can illuminate here!"

Wan Ting nodded, untied the moonlight pendant hanging around her neck, and handed it over.

"It's not a way to stay here, you have to find a way to get out!" Under the faint light, the faces of the two people were reflected, Yuan Qi stared at the gloomy light in front of him, and said vigilantly, "Let's not separate, walk over slowly and see what it is!"

Wan Ting grabbed Yuan Qi's hand tightly and followed him step by step.

Suddenly, Yuan Qi stopped, frowned and looked around.

"What's wrong?" Wan Ting asked.

"It's nothing, do you feel the wind?" Yuan Qi didn't want Wan Ting to worry, so he spoke casually.

"It seems to be a little, I didn't pay attention!" Wan Ting shook her head.

"Eh!" Yuan Qi responded, he subconsciously clenched Wan Ting's hand, and said, "Let's be careful!"

Wan Ting's face turned red, and she suddenly felt that his palms were full of sweat, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

"What's wrong with you, why are you sweating so much in your hands!" The more she walked forward, the more Wan Ting felt that Yuan Qi's palms were sweating.

"No, I'm just not well!" Yuan Qi turned his back to Wan Ting, his brows furrowed, he was very confident in his senses, if it weren't for his eyes, he would feel that there were countless figures flowing around him, which was a depressing feeling, accompanied by restlessness and restlessness.

The two slowly approached, it was a high platform, the ghost light was placed on it, like a kind of worship, Yuan Qi carefully observed, this is a small stone, the stone flashed out of the phantom, very strange.

"Could this be a ghost stone!" Yuan Qi stared at for a moment, reacted, and said, "But it seems to have been damaged!"

"Ghost Stone, what is that?" Wan Ting also came over, but in an instant, she was attracted and stood in place.

"Don't look!" Yuan Qi pulled Wan Ting away, channeling spiritual power to her to save her mind.

Wan Ting gasped for breath and said in horror: "It's so dangerous, almost my soul is about to be sucked away!"

Yuan Qi was relieved to see that she was unharmed, and explained: "It is recorded in the classics that this is a special stone for the Barbarian Witch Dao, which can be used as a soul container, and if you look at it up close, if you don't guard against it, your soul will be sucked away!"

"Soul container?, what's the use?" Wan Ting was puzzled.

"The land of the Wild Southern Frontier is different from ours, it is said that it is famous for its witchcraft, and their mastery of the soul is far higher than ours, and even more, there are evil witches who use the ghost stone as a tool and the human soul as a material in order to improve their skills, so as to reach a higher realm!" Yuan Qi explained, suddenly he remembered something, and looked at the ghost stone in front of him in shock.

"What is the difference between such an evil way and the Demon Sect!" Wan Ting opened her mouth, suddenly noticing Yuan Qi's strange appearance, and asked again, "What's wrong!"

"Senior sister, do you remember the picture on the Tianchi, the flesh and blood of those Qingcheng disciples turned into blood, and their souls all flew here!" Yuan Qi said silently.

"You mean this stone is doing tricks?" Wan Ting reacted.

"It's strange here, if this ghost stone is not urged, it is impossible to have such a strong gravitational force, and so many Penglai disciples can be led here!" Yuan Qi's face was solemn, he thought of a possibility, and said, "Now that the ghost stone has been damaged, and the soul inside has also been sucked clean, this shows that at the time of the great war, there must have been someone here, urging the ghost stone, absorbing the power of the soul, and cultivating it!"

"Is it possible that he is still here?" Wan Ting looked around, feeling a pair of eyes staring at her, and she was uncomfortable.

"It shouldn't be there, it seems that this kind of evil power is particularly sensitive to certain forces, such as the thunder and lightning in the seal is innate restraint, I think this person has long since left!" Yuan Qi tightened Wan Ting's small hand to reassure her, he stared at the ghost stone on the platform, and slowly grabbed it with his other hand.

It's amazing, a small stone, at the moment of movement, as if it touched something, and several flames instantly ignited, illuminating the place.

Completely different from what Yuan Qi thought, this place was very small, a sealed stone chamber, and there was no exit.

"Ah!" Wan Ting shouted, in front of her, a hideous stone statue stood in front of her, and its eyes were blue and black, staring at her, making her creepy, as if it was not a statue, but a real thing, lifelike.

The echo came again, Yuan Qi sensed that something was wrong, quickly stopped her, looked up at the top, looked down at his feet, and began to bang on the ground.

"Is it empty!" Yuan Qi said to himself, he raised his head and stared at the stone statue in front of him.

"What kind of monster is this!" Wan Ting said in horror, "I've never seen it before!"

"I haven't seen it either, and there is no record of it in the Hundred Beast Battle!" Yuan Qi thought for a while and said, "The pointed head and beak, including its wings and claws, are very similar to the Peng bird, but its body is somewhat imaginary with the Kunyu recorded in the book, and as for the tail, it is very similar to some kind of reptile!"

"A combination of three animals, is there really such a creature in this world?" Wan Ting suppressed the shock in her heart and said, "Why is there such a statue here!"

Yuan Qi couldn't understand either, staring at the dark eyes on the stone statue, clenching the ghost stone in his hand, thinking of a possibility, striding forward and stuffing the ghost stone on.

Sure enough, the place turned into darkness again, and the only thing that could be seen was that the ghost stone on the stone statue's eyes seemed to be awakened, glowing with a strong light, and at the same time, countless phantoms accompanied by miserable screams, rushed from the ghost stone, floated in the void, and gradually dissipated.

"The souls in this ghost stone have been suppressed for too long, and all kinds of grievances have been entangled and imprisoned here, and now they have been released and liberated!" Yuan Qi returned to Wan Ting's side, held her palm again, and said, "I'm worried that something may happen later!"

The soul in the ghost stone was gradually purified, the stone statue seemed to come to life, the two eyes emitted a dazzling light, and the entire stone room began to shake violently.

"Be careful!" Yuan Qi reminded loudly.

The ground beneath their feet quickly cracked, creating a gap that caused the two to fall quickly.

Under the pitch black, it was like a bottomless abyss, which was unsettling, but Yuan Qi and Wan Ting clasped their hands and snuggled up to each other.

After a long time, a thin sound of running water came, and when they finally reached the ground, they saw a dark swamp, and when they looked up, a thick fog obscured the sky above, making it impossible to see the way they came.

"How are you?" Yuan Qi picked up Wan Ting and asked softly.

"It's okay!" Wan Ting looked around, the long-term darkness made this place damp, and her white clothes were stained with a little mud, which made her feel very uncomfortable when she always loved cleanliness.

"Do you remember the valley when you came, we should be at the bottom of the valley now!" Yuan Qi made a judgment, in a dense forest ahead, there was a quiet path, and I don't know where it leads.

"Now there is no other way, we can only go forward here!" Yuan Qi said, pointing to the path.

The trail is eerie, and it's hard to imagine that in this swamp, there will be a smooth path that stretches, full of weirdness.

The swamp on both sides is muddy and deep, and a few bones can be vaguely seen, which makes people panic, and in addition to the chirping of many unknown birds and beasts around, it is even more gloomy.

The two walked quietly in the forest, their hands clasped together again at some point, although they deliberately did not make a sound, but the sweat in the palms of their hands made them not as calm as they appeared.

Wan Ting stared at Yuan Qi silently, her face was crimson, and the temperature of her palms made her feel very relieved.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Qi suddenly noticed Wan Ting's pace slow down and asked suspiciously.

"Can I ask you a question!" Wan Ting bit her lip, as if she had mustered all her courage, and her face turned even redder.

"You say?" replied Yuan Qi as he looked around, still on his guard.

"When you were a child, you..." Wan Ting was about to speak, but Yuan Qi suddenly interrupted her, pulling her to quickly hide behind a big tree.

"Shh~~ Don't make a sound!" Yuan Qi's ears twitched slightly, and he listened carefully.

"Sisi!" A huge python floated by, ten feet long, spitting snake silk in its mouth and shuttling through the swamp, startling countless birds and beasts.

"Shasha~~" The python was extremely fast, the snake body rose quickly, and swallowed a bird and beast that had no time to escape into its belly, and in a moment, a thick smell of blood spread around.

The two of them held their breath, not daring to make any movements, and the first time they saw such a big python, they were too frightened to breathe.

"I've only seen it in books before, but I can't imagine the size of the world, it's really amazing!" Yuan Qi patted his chest, glad that he hadn't been discovered.

Just as they were breathing a sigh of relief, the big tree behind them suddenly moved, and in the center of the branch, a scarlet mouth was cracked, and Wan Ting was swallowed in one bite.
