Zong Xiu and Peng Guang were standing on the edge of a misty forest, considering whether to go in.

They had just come from a big lake, and the spiritual herbs by the lake were very rich, and Zong Xiu and the others had not been looking for a long time, and they found several leaf blue grasses.

Ye Blue Grass is an adjunct for refining Ning Yuan Dan, although it is not as good as the main medicine Yuan Ling Fruit, but it is also quite valuable. Originally, Zong Xiu planned to look for it all the way along the lake, but there were too many people there, but in a moment, Zong Xiu and the others had already bumped into two teams.

With such people coming and going, even if the two sides want to do it, they must worry about one or two, so as not to do the stupid thing of fighting with each other and profiting from the fisherman.

Therefore, the teams they met were quite restrained, they all glanced at them from a distance, and then went their separate ways. But Zong Xiu didn't like this feeling of having people everywhere, and he was afraid that he would accidentally fall into the encirclement of several teams, so he took Peng Guang and them away.

Then we walked to the edge of the forest.

Peng Guang said: "Senior brother, this forest is strange!"

Zong Xiu glanced at him and didn't speak, while Cheng Kaiji said, "You're not talking nonsense?

Peng Guang laughed and said: "Yes, but it is rare to see such a gloomy forest." ”

After killing the True Transmission disciples together, the relationship between the several people seems to have become a little different again, and even speaking is much more casual.

Huo Xin said, "Senior Brother Zong, are we going in?"

Zong Xiu nodded, he had already gone to the high place just now to take a look, although this forest looked strange, but it was estimated that it would be twenty or thirty miles away at the end, and there were some undulating mountains at the end of the forest, and some good things might be found there.

Since Zong Xiudu nodded, Peng Guang naturally didn't say much, and walked into the forest first, and said, "I'll explore the way ahead." ”

The fog in the forest is heavy, and the trees are tall and lush, blocking all the sunlight, so although it is broad daylight, the inside is obscure.

Not only is the environment dark, but even the trees that grow are strange, from the trunk to the branches and leaves, all of them are dark green, looking deep and heavy, and the branches are all twisted and growing, like a terrifying monster with its teeth and claws.

On the ground was a thick layer of fallen leaves, which rustled when stepped on. There was a musty smell in the air, and after smelling it for a long time, I felt a little confused in my brain.

Zong Xiu and the others quickened their pace, wanting to get out of the forest as soon as possible, but some things were unsatisfactory.

A corpse hung from a tree branch, its face painful and distorted, as if it had experienced great pain and fear before dying. The body is withered, crumpled and clinging to the bones, like those dried corpses in dry places.

It's just that the fog in this forest is thick, and it stands to reason that it should rot when it is dead, why do it form dry corpses instead?

Zong Xiu was a little puzzled, but he didn't have the heart to delve into it, and when he wanted to see if there was a storage bag on the corpse, Peng Guang suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Master...... Brother, this person may have just died. ”

Zong Xiu was suddenly startled, he originally subconsciously thought that this corpse was one of the original Ning Yuan Realm cultivators, but after Peng Guang reminded him, he realized that this corpse was covered with the clothes of the inner disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect.

The inner disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect naturally couldn't have come in the last time the secret realm was opened, but if he came in this time......

The secret realm was opened yesterday, that is to say, even after the secret realm was opened, this inner disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect immediately came to this forest, and the time to die would not be more than a day.

But why did it become a dried corpse?

Cheng Kaiji groped around the corpse for a while and said, "The storage bag is still there." ”

After Peng Guang experienced the initial shock, he regained his smile at this time, and said, "The disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect have been fiddling with some corpses all day long, and now it is just right that they can fiddle with themselves." ”

Peng Guang made a joke, but the atmosphere did not ease up, especially when he got back on the road and wandered around the forest for most of the day, and there was still no end in sight.

Twenty or thirty miles away, Zong Xiu and the others walked faster, it stands to reason that one or two hours is definitely enough, but the fact is that they walked for a long time, and what they saw in front of them was still heavy fog and trees with distorted shapes.

Zong Xiu's face was solemn, and Peng Guang grinned: "This forest is really evil!"

Zong Xiu pondered for a moment, then pointed in a direction and said, "Go here." ”

Peng Guangqi said: "Senior brother knows the way out?"

Zong Xiu shook his head, in fact, he sensed that someone was dead.

As soon as Zong Xiu found the abnormality at the center of his eyebrows, he went directly to the place of the accident, and the two places were not far away, and it only took a quarter of an hour, and then when they arrived, the two corpses had become dried corpses, and it seemed that they had been dead for a long time.

Peng Guang scolded: "Is it really a ghost?"

Cheng Kaiji said leisurely: "Isn't our Yin Soul Sect just to catch ghosts?"

"Uh...... That's right. ”

Peng Guang raised his head and looked up, and then said to Zong Xiu: "Senior brother, why don't I climb the tree and take a look clearly?" ”

Zong Xiu said: "I'll use the ghost guard to go up." ”

After saying that, he summoned a ghost guard, and in a few leaps, he went straight to the top of the tree.

The trees here are luxuriant, and the branches and leaves on them are layered on top of each other, without leaking a trace of sunlight, looking like layers of black fog, to be honest, Peng Guang was also a little timid in his heart, and he was also secretly relieved to see Zong Xiu use the ghost guard to go up.

The ghost guard had disappeared between the branches and leaves, and Zong Xiu's face did not see any relaxation, but became more and more solemn, and after a long time, he said: "There is a prohibition on it." ”

Zong Xiu recalled the ghost guard, and then said: "I don't know the specific effect of the ban, but with our ability, it will definitely not be broken." ”

Zong Xiu picked a few different places and tried to get the ghost guard to go up. As a result, without exception, there were bans in the air, and the ghost guards couldn't see where they were in the forest now.

Peng Guangyi grinned and said, "These dried corpses and bones can't all find a way out and starve to death, right?"

But when I think about it, I know that it is impossible, and after saying a few words, I will honestly shut up.

At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded in front of him, Zong Xiu's eyebrows were cold, and he suddenly said, "Go quickly!"

Without Zong Xiu's orders, Peng Guang had already rushed away first, and Zong Xiu, Cheng Kaiji, and Huo Xin followed.

This time, Zong Xiu finally saw how these people died.

A corpse lay on the ground, while a man with an ugly back was lying on top of it, heard the movement, and turned around.

Jong-su had never seen such an ugly person—if that could be called human.

The eyes bulged out, glowing with a faint green light, the facial features seemed to be randomly combined, crooked, and there were huge mouthparts in the mouth, and the mouthparts were closed one by one, and Zong Xiu could even see the flesh and blood inside.

It turned out that these dead people had been sucked by this monster and turned into dried corpses.
