Chapter 124: The Ghost Forest
Zhao Xinming said goodbye to Uncle Lu and hurried all the way south. www.biquge.info At midnight, Zhao Xinming crossed a huge mountain pass, and saw more than 100 people gathered in front of the dense forest not far ahead, which was Boss Wu and his party.
When Zhang Zifan saw Zhao Xinming, his eyes lit up, he walked over, and arched his hand: "Brother Zhao." ”
Zhao Xinming frowned, quite disgusted with these people, if they hadn't taken the first step, he wouldn't have turned around the ghost gate. Zhao Xinming was silent for a moment and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Zifan smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, the forest in front of you is called the 'Ghost Forest', which is the 'Poison of the Ghost Domain' in the trilemma. Boss Wu, they were discussing when to go in. ”
Zhao Xinming looked up, the trees in the forest were strangely shaped, faintly dancing like demons in the moonlight, no wonder it was called "Ghost Forest". Zhang Zifan asked sideways for a while, Zhao Xinming sneered, hid Uncle Lu, and said a few perfunctory words. After a while, Boss Wu and the others discussed the result, shouted and walked in with everyone. At this time, it was the depths of winter, the forest was dark, and everyone was timid in their hearts, leaning together and moving forward slowly.
After walking for a short time, a red and green point of light suddenly appeared in front of him, scattered everywhere. Everyone took a few steps forward, only to find that the light point was a kind of translucent insect that had never been seen before, a bit like a firefly in summer, the size of a fingernail, a pair of wings vibrated from time to time, and the light was on the tip of the insect's buttocks. Zhao Xinming glanced at it and recognized that these insects were the third-grade poison "ghost firefly" recorded in the poison codex. According to the book, "Oni Firefly" is a water poison, which is highly toxic, and the poisoned person will not die immediately, but will become a half-human, half-corpse monster!
At this moment, a middle-aged man picked up a ghost firefly and looked at it in front of him. Oni Hotaru flapped her wings and opened her mouth to bite the person. The big man screamed, his fingers instantly became red and swollen, and a thin green line quickly spread upward along his fingertips. Dahan was shocked, and hurriedly used his internal strength to force out the green red line, but unfortunately it was useless. Just seven or eight breaths, the thin green line goes straight to the heart. The big man fell to the ground with a miserable howl, and the complexion on his body quickly turned green. After a while, the big man raised his head, and a pair of green eyes stared at everyone like a demon, and kept roaring.
Boss Wu immediately made a decision and cut off the person's head with a knife. I saw a red and green blood arrow shoot out, and a strange smell dispersed with the wind. There was a commotion in the dense forest, and they all flew up with a "buzz". The crowd was shocked and hurriedly fled forward. The ghost fireflies down, and those who are left behind are hit one after another, and the screams are endless.
Zhao Xinming was about to use his skills to resist, but found that these "ghost fireflies" had all avoided him for some reason! Zhao Xinming was secretly surprised, only to hear Zhang Zifan yell: "Quick, hurry up and light the torch!"
Everyone came to their senses, hurriedly lit torches, held them in their hands and waved them desperately. Afraid of the firelight, the ghost firefly hovered overhead and did not dare to fall. The crowd did not dare to stay, and walked forward tremblingly.
Zhang Zifan said softly: "Boss Wu, these insects are called 'Ghost Fireflies', and they are unique poisonous insects in the 'Ghost Domain'. Although this insect is extremely poisonous, it is afraid of fire and light, as long as we hold on until dawn, we will be fine. ”
When the group heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Xinming couldn't help but look at Zhang Zifan, the four words "afraid of fire and afraid of light" are exactly the evaluation of the ghost firefly in the "Poison Codex", and this person seems to be not simple! After walking for more than 20 miles, there was a sudden shaking on the ground in front of him, and a black person came out. Everyone hurriedly stopped, only to see that the man slowly turned around, his whole body was covered with mud, and he exuded a disgusting rancid smell. The facial features are distorted, the teeth are falling out, the eyes are pale, there are no eyeballs, three points like a human and seven points like a corpse.
"Who?" said Boss Wu stepped forward with his knife and shouted.
The ghost creature let out a "whin", gasped for black air, and slowly walked over. Boss Wu snorted coldly, swung his knife and slashed away, only to hear a muffled sound of "dong", this knife seemed to be cut on the root of a thousand-year-old tree, and it was stuck after only one inch of it. The ghost creature was fine, and he waved his hand and slapped it. Boss Wu hurriedly let go of the treasure knife and jumped back. The ghost creature let out a "whin" and swayed after him. Boss Wu flashed sideways, took the opportunity to pull out the treasure knife, and a stream of extremely smelly black blood splashed out. Boss Wu's horizontal knife blocked, the treasure knife sneered, its luster was dim, and it was instantly corroded by black blood.
Boss Wu was distressed, this treasure knife was only obtained by him after spending a lot of money and exhausting his connections, and he didn't know how many times he had saved him by fighting all the way, but he didn't expect to be injured as soon as he entered the "ghost domain". Boss Wu's eyes were red, he roared angrily, and swept with his sword. The ghost spread his palms and pushed over. The swords and palms intersected, and Boss Wu couldn't help it, and took a few steps back. The ghosts' palms were slashed off by the treasure knives, and black blood splattered, falling to the ground with a sneering sound.
Seeing that Boss Wu had a successful move, Brother Wang was not to be outdone, shouted lowly, and swung his knife at him. The knife hit the ghost in the back of the heart, and the ghost stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Boss Wu saw the opportunity, swept his right leg, and flipped the ghost to the ground. The two of them, one left and one right, cooperated tacitly, and the ghosts were defeated and retreated. It's just that the ghost thing has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is highly poisonous, and the two of them didn't dare to get close, and they have been fighting for more than 300 times, so they can kill the ghost thing together.
Zhao Xinming stared at the ghost for a while, but he couldn't recognize what it was. I saw Zhang Zifan fiddle with the corpse a few times, pointed to the position on his chest, and said, "Boss Wu, please dissect this place." ”
Boss Wu frowned, slashed it with a swing of his knife, and with a blow to his wrist, he cut out a hole, and a rancid smell suddenly came to his nose. Zhang Zifan covered his mouth and nose slightly, dug for a while, and pulled out a pale red bead from it.
Boss Wu's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, what is this?"
"Boss Wu, if I'm not mistaken, this ghost thing is the legendary 'corpse leader'. Zhang Zifan wiped the beads and continued, "Looking at the color, this corpse is only thirty years old at most. If a hundred years have passed, the beads are as red as blood, this corpse is the world's first-class highly poisonous thing, and it is no less powerful than the seven-fold master of Waigang!"
Everyone's hearts moved, and they all stared at the beads in Zhang Zifan's hand. Zhang Zifan quietly handed the beads to Boss Wu. Boss Wu grinned, put it in his arms, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what's the use of this bead?"
"Boss Wu, I don't know about this. Zhang Zifan shook his head and said with a smile, "It is rumored that the 'corpse leader' is inextricably linked with the Ten Thousand Poison Gate, if Boss Wu is interested, he can ask the Ten Thousand Poison Gate, but it must be very valuable." ”
Boss Wu snorted coldly and continued to walk forward. Boss Wu is ruthless, everyone knows it, and now that the thing is in his hands, the group can only recognize it. After walking for more than thirty miles, there was a sudden sound of Suosuo all around. The sound went from small to loud, from far to near, and soon came to the front. Everyone looked up, only to see dozens of half-human-high balls rolling over quickly, the balls were stained with thumb-sized red and golden ants, from the inside to the outside, I don't know how many, this ball is clearly piled up by these ants!
