The new cultivator who joined the team is called Yin Cheng Key, and Deng An and he had a relationship with him in the Nian Wen Zhai of Qianqiao Peak, and they had a few chats, and their impression of each other was not bad.

When Deng An and Yin Heirong were passing near a waterhole, they encountered a first-order peak demon beast Golden Scale Python, which happened to be in the way that Yin Heirong had walked before. They didn't dare to go around to other places to test it, fearing that they would encounter more powerful demon beasts, so after a little totalization, they launched an attack on the golden scale python. If the two ghosts deal with the golden scale python alone, it will inevitably be a little difficult, but once they join forces, they will definitely be able to gain the upper hand.

However, they never expected that this golden scale python saw that the enemy's strength was too strong, and immediately let out a few screams, attracting another underage golden scale python, although the strength of the later golden scale python was only comparable to that of the mid-Nayin meditation cultivation, but it was enough to turn the tide of the battle. Immediately after, a dramatic scene occurred, and the Yin Key suddenly appeared and joined the battle.

The three ghosts were able to grasp the situation of the battle, and the golden scale python died and fled.

When talking about the purpose of this trip, Deng An replied half-truthfully, only saying that he was going to Qinghuling, because the direction they were traveling could only get there, and they couldn't hide it if they wanted to. Moreover, knowing that there were by no means a few meditation cultivators in Qinghu Ridge, due to the abundance of snow spirit grass, there were often bold meditation cultivators who went on adventures, and he secretly guessed that the Yin Cheng Key was mostly related to this.

Sure enough, the destination of the Yin Cheng Key is also Qinghu Ridge.

Within the scope of the Burial Immortal Mountain, Qinghuling is a very inconspicuous place, but in fact this is not the case, the reason is that it is set off by the huge Burial Immortal Mountain.

Since they are on the same road, it is not impossible to go together, and when they arrive at Qinghu Ridge, they will just find an excuse and separate from each other, anyway, the other party is for Snow Spirit Leaf, and they must also know some clues about Snow Spirit Grass, and they will definitely not want to share it with him and Yin Heirong.

The three ghosts, under the leadership of Yin Heirong, bypassed the waterhole and traced up a stream, and after walking out of a mile or two, the terrain in front of them became steeper, and the woods on the side of the stream became denser and denser, and the stream was much more turbulent, and the sound of gurgling water could be heard from time to time.

At this time, the three ghosts all became extremely cautious, and compared to the woods in front of them, there were obviously more demon beasts here. In less than half a mile of travel, three first-order demon beasts were discovered. As they floated, they were all suspended above the stream as much as possible, because the water vapor emitted by the stream was relatively cold, it could hide the aura of ghosts to a certain extent, as long as it was not very close, it was difficult for those demon beasts to distinguish the difference between the two.

Deng An followed closely behind Yin Heirong, paying close attention to all the small movements around him. When he arrived at an area about a foot wide of the stream, he gradually realized that there was no trace of the demon beast around him, and only artemisia grass grew on both sides of the stream, which seemed to be unable to hide the large demon beast.

The other two ghosts noticed the abnormality one after another, and they all stopped in unison. Deng An didn't understand the reason, and looked at Yin Heirong who looked back, with a question in his eyes. Yin Hei Rong shook his head suspiciously, signaling that the scene here was different from when he had passed by before.

"Will there be a second-order demon beast?" Yin Chengkey's eyes flashed, he had never been to Qinghu Ridge before, so he chose to partner with Deng An's two ghosts. He is more sensitive to situations on the road, and first thinks of what he worries most.

This is a more reasonable explanation, when a second-order demon beast appears in a certain area, the low-level demon beast there will take the initiative to avoid it, so as not to become the target of the other party's hunting.

Deng An couldn't think of a better explanation, so he nodded by default.

However, he always felt that something was wrong, according to common sense, the area where the second-order demon beast appeared would leave a specific aura, for the dark cultivator or demon beast with low cultivation, this aura could easily be smelled, but in this area, he couldn't feel a trace of the demon beast aura.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the demon beast was ready to hunt, and deliberately restrained its breath.

However, Deng An observed for a long time and did not find anything abnormal.

"Deng Daoyou, in the woods not far ahead, I once saw a butterfly-shaped wine owl's lair, but it has long been abandoned, could it be that during this period, another second-order demon beast occupied that lair. Yin Heirong thought about it carefully and said uncertainly.

"How far is it from here?" Deng An worried.

However, that lair is at least six or seven hundred zhang away from the stream, even if it is occupied by a second-order demon beast, as long as we are careful, it will not be discovered. Yin Hei Rong saw Deng An's frowns, and asked tentatively: "Our three goals are too big, it is better to let us explore the way ahead, in case there is really a second-order demon beast, it is better to take precautions as soon as possible." ”

"No need! **** friends are really going to have an accident, how can Deng bear it. ”

Deng An sneered in his heart, Yin Heirong really had other thoughts, before he saw the Falling God Flower, he had to mention some of them, so as not to fall for his tricks. Of the three ghosts, only Yin Hei Rong had ever been here, and he must not be allowed to leave alone.

Yin Hei Rong didn't take a few steps, he was stopped by Deng An, so he smiled and stopped in place, Yin Cheng Key had already found out that the relationship between Deng An and Yin Hei Rong was strange, seeing this scene, but he didn't say much, and the tension in his heart disappeared a little, no matter what kind of contradiction there was between the two ghosts, as long as it didn't affect him to go to Qinghu Ling, it was none of the matter, and no one would help.

Under the current situation, he can only take one step at a time, Deng An has no better way, so he plans to call Yin Heirong to continue to hurry, at this time, he found that the sound of flowing water is different, and in the continuous murmuring sound, there are also some slight "hissing" sounds.

This sound was ethereal, making Deng An elusive, far and near, and he seemed to have heard it when he was downstream, but he didn't care about it at the time.

As Deng An listened intently, they were suddenly replaced by another voice.

At the bottom of streams or rivers, the carcasses of dead fish, dead shrimp and other aquatic organisms are often deposited, and when they decay, they release some gases. When these gases rise to the surface of the water, the bubbles that store them burst with a gurgling sound.

As you move forward, this "grunt" sound is noticeably worse, and there should be a large amount of gas spilling out of the water ahead. However, the so-called flowing water does not rot, and the bottom of this creek does not have the conditions to store a large amount of decay, and it is difficult to form so much gas.

Deng An showed a solemn look on his face, and looked ahead vigilantly.

"I don't know why, but one thing is certain, the gas spillage has nothing to do with the monster. Yin Heirong was slightly flustered and hurriedly explained.

"It's best that there are no demon beasts lurking at the bottom of the stream. Deng An still had some doubts, but it was only a fleeting moment, and their biggest threat at the moment was the possibility of a second-order demon beast.

The further he went, the more confused Deng An became. There is still not the slightest breath of demon beasts around, and at such a long distance, there is not even a trace of demon beast activity, as if this is a forbidden area for demon beasts. What could be the reason? He guessed as he proceeded cautiously.

Unconsciously, a big tree appeared in Deng An's sight. It grew close to the stream, almost only bare branches, with few leaves left on the branches, and between the rocks on one side of the bank, bare roots could be seen everywhere, and it survived in another form, just like the plants near the monastic gathering point.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that the breath in the air was different, and the flowing water under their feet seemed to have some changes, and from time to time there were black gases escaping from the water surface, these gases looked very similar to Yin Qi, but they seemed to be a little different.

Yin Cheng Key also discovered this phenomenon, and after glancing at Deng An, they approached the big tree together in confusion, only Yin Heirong was surprised and did not step forward.

"Ah, what kind of gas is this?" Suddenly, Yin Cheng Key accidentally touched the breath that overflowed from the stream, and let out a scream of panic, and then there was a frightened and inexplicable expression on his face, as if he was experiencing some kind of terrible scene. After a moment, he felt his gaffe, and his voice was immediately suppressed, but his face was not very good-looking.

"Fellow Daoist, what's wrong with this gas?" Deng An asked in a low voice.

"Deng Daoyou will understand when you try it, you can't describe it in words, remember, don't absorb too much. Yin Cheng smiled narrowly, obviously ill-intentioned. But in doing so, Deng An's curiosity was even more aroused. However, Deng An did not take the liberty of doing what he said immediately, but waited for a while, and saw that the other party was still digging a pit waiting for you to jump, knowing that at most it would be a small loss, and there would be no danger to his life.

At this time, another bubble spread out from the surface of the water, emitting a stream of gray-black gas, which also contained wisps of thick black filaments, Deng An touched it lightly with his fingers, and did not take the initiative to absorb it, but one or two wisps of black filament gas took the initiative to drill into the soul body.

Deng An only felt that a certain part of his consciousness seemed to be ignited, and a violent mood was infinitely amplified, the various scenes of the attack on the Deng family's convoy, the conspiracy between Deng Sanqun and Chen Dongsheng, the eldest brother Deng Hong being dismembered by a random blade, etc., whether it happened or what he was very worried about, it was like a picture screen on the marquee, appearing again and again.

"Deng Daoyou?"

Yin Chengkey saw Deng An's face full of anger at first, and then the expression on his face became extremely hideous, and he was suddenly taken aback, of course he knew the effect of those qi filaments, but he didn't expect Deng An to have such a fierce reaction, and hurriedly reminded him.

Those negative emotions came and went quickly, and almost at the same time as the Yin Cheng key reminded him, Deng An had already woken up, and the scene just now made him palpitate.

The gas filaments mixed with the gray and black gas, I don't know what kind of gas it is, can infinitely amplify the negative emotions in the consciousness, if there are more qi filaments inhaled into the soul body, those negative emotions are enough to burst the soul core of meditation. Meditation without a soul core is like a mortal without a head, and there is no possibility of survival. For any meditation practice, there is its own obsession, therefore, this qi silk is simply the nemesis of meditation.

"What kind of gas is this, so powerful, have you heard of it?" Yin Cheng was afraid that Deng An would investigate what happened just now, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

How could Deng An not guess the intention of the Yin Cheng Key, but the contact with those gases had his own intentions, and it was not good to hold the other party responsible, and judging from the reaction of the Yin Cheng Key, it was not like a deliberate deception, but a prank. As for what kind of gas it was, he successively compared some possibilities, but unfortunately none of them matched, so he had to shake his head.
