Chapter 348: Demon Shadow (7)

After a short exchange, the sky was completely bright, and everyone began to go on the road together.

The one in charge of leading the way is naturally the real captain Barrow.

The ferns in the jungle grow so large that a single leaf is at least a man's height.

The extreme west is originally a place full of desert Gobi, but because of the Yong'an Mountains, it is isolated from the heat and humidity, and the snow water on the Yong'an Mountain, so the plants here grow extraordinarily luxuriantly.

Barrow and Qin Qiang had to swing their machetes hard to cut off the fat leaves that were blocking the way.

In such a place, even if a road is opened, after a night new plants will grow and the road will be obscured again.

Only the members of the exploration team who were carefully selected from Kunyou City could find a way in such a complex environment.

Jiang Yuan walked behind Barrow and Qin Qiang, in the center of the team. At the end are the four members of the Imperial Law Secret Sect.

In such a complex jungle, it is not suitable for people to be in it, and it is more suitable for observation from above.

Although there is a dense canopy of trees, it is undoubtedly much more convenient than navigating through the forest.

It's just that I don't know why the four disciples of the Imperial Law Secret Sect chose to stay in the jungle, and they still need the exploration team to lead the way.

However, no matter what their intentions were, Jiang Yuan was not too worried.

The strength of these four people is extremely weak for Jiang Yuan, and even if the four of them go together, they can't parry a move of Jiang Yuan's secluded form.

Xun Yu Zhu Zhu had been lurking nearby, and although he couldn't see her, Jiang Yuan could feel her breath.

Jiang Yuan could still feel that the giant dog steamed bun had also been following Lin Yulin with her. Originally, Jiang Yuan was worried that the dog would bark twice, but it seemed that the steamed dog also seemed to be very human, and he had been silent and light.

The strange fragrance emanating from the tree demon Lin Yulin has long stopped.

This kind of strange fragrance did not attract the attention of others, after all, in this jungle, there will be any taste.

Senior Brother Lingyu held his head high all the way, but his frowning brows never let go.

What made him frown was not the danger he might encounter, but the plants that kept stretching towards him around him.

These plants were stained with dew, dirt, and sap, but any stain on his luxurious clothes would leave visible stains. And if you use spells to block the touch of these plants, it seems a little too extravagant.

That's why Lingyu frowned all the way, staring at his brand-new green robe with a calm face from time to time.

And the three of Lingxiu, Lingwei and Linghu, who had been deliberately hanging behind Lingyu, seemed to have formed a separate small circle, and they also had their own secret conversations.

"Senior Brother Lingxiu," Ling Wei asked Lingxiu with big beautiful eyes, "Are we really going to follow Senior Brother to hunt down that Ghost King?" Senior Brother He can really ...... Will you win against that terrifying ghost king?"

The cold spiritual cultivator calmly glanced at the back of the senior brother Lingyu in front of him, and then shook his head.

"Then ......" Ling Wei frowned, "We're going to die with him like this?"

Lingxiu's face was a little helpless, but there was a frenzy in his eyes:

"Master is not here, we have to follow the orders of Senior Brother! Besides, it is also our task to find out what is going on in the Demon Shadow Swamp. For the sake of the sect's mission, what is the danger of being a little more dangerous?"

Lingwei was angry when she heard this, she opened her mouth and was about to say something, but finally closed her mouth.

Only the tall Linghu shook his head at Lingwei and signaled Lingwei not to be too careful.

In the end, Linghu himself asked Lingxiu:

"Senior brother, why do you think that those three people are wrong?"

The three people that Linghu said were Jiang Yuan, Barrow and Qin Qiang of the exploration team.

The devotional asks rhetorically:

"When you first met those three people, did you smell anything special?"

Linghu nodded:

"There was a strong scent around me, but from the scent, I could catch the smell of dead bodies and a hint of blood. ”

Lingwei was a little surprised when she heard this, she also smelled the fragrance, and it was not surprising that the fragrance of all kinds of strange wildflowers in the jungle was fragrant.

As for the smell of dead corpses and blood, Lingwei didn't notice anything. However, she is not surprised, after all, the Spirit Tiger is a demon race, and her natural sense of smell is more sensitive than that of the human race.

Devotional then said:

"I secretly searched around for a while and found a few traces of dirt that had been turned up. It looked like a series of graves, and there were at least eight or nine of them...... This exploration team must have just killed a lot of people! Although the captain named Jiang Yuan was well disguised and couldn't see anything. But I also found clues in the other two people, who often lost their minds and showed grief in their souls. ”

Ling Wei couldn't help but interject and said:

"Maybe they were in danger, which caused the exploration team to lose most of the horses. ”

"I guess that's it, but that's weird......"

The spiritual eyes looked at the three members of the exploration team, especially Jiang Yuan:

"They know about our Imperial Secret Sect, and they also know that we are powerful. But there was not the slightest intention of asking us for help, and there was not even a mention of the heavy damage to the exploration team. Especially the captain Jiang Yuan, who was too calm...... Think of yourself as an ordinary mortal, and think about what you would do if you were a mortal?"

Lingwei and Linghu suddenly realized.

The Shadow Swamp itself is an extremely dangerous place, and even though it is on the edge, it is full of dangers.

An exploration team had just lost most of its weight, at least eight or nine people had died, and only three had survived.

It stands to reason that the three of them at this time should have a sense of confusion and powerlessness, and when faced with the powerful disciples of the Imperial Law Secret Sect who suddenly fell from the sky, they would definitely be like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw and kneeling on the ground and begging for help.

And these three people seem to know what they are doing and what they should do.

They had a cold attitude towards the disciples of the Imperial Law Secret Sect, as if they didn't think that these disciples of the Imperial Law Secret Sect could help them.

They didn't hesitate to move on to the more dangerous depths of the Shadow Swamp.

Such an attitude is really very wrong.

Lingwei thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask:

"Senior Brother Spiritual, what do you think the three of them are planning?"

The spiritual cultivator looked around quietly, and said in a low voice:

"I think it's very likely that they were coerced in some way. And this coercion must have been so threatening that the three of them thought that the four of us could not help them. And this coercion, most likely...... It's the mighty Ghost King!"

Ling Wei and Ling Hu's expressions became solemn, they knew what they should do.

Lingxiu and Linghu seemed to protect Lingwei in the middle, intentionally or unintentionally, while Lingwei secretly pinched the fingers with her hands:

"The fire is on the fire, and the gold is said to be from the revolution!

A spell continued to form and condense in Lingwei's hands, and finally quietly cast it.

I saw that in her white hands, a transparent willow flower condensed by the power of the law bloomed.

Then, the crystal transparent flower seemed to be dripping with a drop of thick ink, and the black continued to spread in the flower, and finally the whole flower was soaked in black.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the three spiritual cultivators changed, which showed that there were powerful demons and ghosts around this group of people!

I saw that the Wei Wu flower condensed by the power of the law had turned into a black flower at this time, and in silence, the flower suddenly turned into powder, drifting towards the depths of the jungle on the right side of the three of them, and disappeared into the heaven and earth.

A trace of horror flashed in Ling Wei's eyes, and her face was a little pale:

"The Ghost King is hiding in the distance on our right...... It's still daylight, and it's so unscrupulous!"

The devotional face sinks like water:

"Some demons will use external objects to block the sun, while the demons of the dead realm can rely on spells to avoid being exposed to direct sunlight...... It seems that I guessed correctly, the ghost king has been following us secretly. The three members of the exploration team were probably coerced by him into deliberately luring us to the temple......

Ling Wei was a little scared at this time, the ghost king himself had seen its horror and ferocity from a distance outside Kunyou City, and when she thought of the ghost king lurking near her, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Senior Brother Spiritual, let's persuade Senior Brother, let's get out of here quickly!" Ling Wei couldn't help but plead, "Senior Brother, that person is brave and unscrupulous, and he is not afraid of anything for meritorious service, this will kill us!"

Lingxiu's eyes glanced at the back of Senior Brother Lingyu in front of him, and he shook his head lightly and said:

"Senior Brother is indeed pretending to be clever, he thought that he could delay the arrival of the master, mainly because he had not seen the horror of the ghost king...... Now, even if Senior Brother changes his mind, I'm afraid it's useless. Since the Ghost King has already arranged for an exploration team to lure us in, he won't let us go easily. I'm not afraid of death in my spiritual practice, but I might as well make a plan and find out the intentions of the ghost king! Ghost king, what are you coming from, what do you want to do in the Demon Shadow Swamp, my spiritual cultivation will figure it out!"

Hearing this, Linghu clenched the giant axe in his hand, and a pair of tiger eyes also swelled with war intent.

But Lingwei looked a little gloomy and frightened, but her beautiful big eyes kept flickering, and she muttered to herself in her heart:

"I don't want to die like this, I'm still so young, I don't want to die in this place......"

The team seemed to be calm again, even calmer than before.

None of the group spoke, and walked through the forest in silence.

The terrain is getting lower and lower, and when you pass through the jungle, you will leave the soil you know under your feet and enter the swamp completely.

At this moment, a strong aura suddenly surged in the group.

Unabashedly, it exudes an aura that is not a bystander, but a cold spiritual cultivator.

I saw his fingers pinching the sword technique, and the long sword on his back suddenly came out of the sheath.

"Buzz ——!"

With a crisp sword roar, the long sword stabbed forward like a streamer.

The sharp long sword almost passed close to Ling Yu and Jiang Yuan, and instantly crossed between the two of them who opened the way in front of them, Baro and Qin Qiang, and fiercely stabbed at the root of a big tree that was exposed to the ground.

"Boom la la !!"

The trees shook violently, and the water that had accumulated on the large leaves fell one after another, like a heavy rain.

Jiang Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he knew everything around him well.

The rest of the people were taken aback by the sudden action of the spiritual cultivator.

"What are you doing?!" Ling Yu, who had been focusing on his clothes, was the most annoyed, "Why did you use your sword?

It is also Lingxiu who is his own fellow disciple, otherwise if it is an enemy, Fang Cai suddenly makes a move behind his back, I am afraid that even Lingyu himself will suffer a big loss.

It is precisely because of this that Senior Brother Lingyu is extremely angry.
