072 Cold Ancient Forest

"Silly apprentice, are you awake? Are you okay? Then let's go. ”

The four of them were chatting, and Ren Bikong came over and beckoned everyone to go on the road. So, the people hastily put away the tents and other things, extinguished the bonfire, and continued to move on.

Everyone didn't feel tired, and Ji Danhuang, the only one who felt a little unwell, also recovered his spirit after two hours of rest. The jungle of the Demon Realm at night was a little strangely quiet, and everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace, striving to get out of this forest as much as possible.

The jungle was silent, the shadows of the trees swayed a hideous patch, and the waning moon in the sky was as red as blood. Ji Danhuang walked in the center, looking at the crimson blood moon and the abyssally dark jungle, he couldn't help but get a little nervous, all his nerves were tightly tensed, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

A blood moon is not a good sign.

The further he walked into the forest, the more uneasy Ji Danhuang felt, and a slight chill seeped into his body like a poisonous snake, so cold that he couldn't help but shiver, and the cold hairs on his body stood up.

Ji Danhuang couldn't help but ask, "What kind of place is this, why is it so cold?"

After walking for more than an hour, he only felt that his blood was frozen and coagulated, and his whole body was uncomfortable, and his feet were numb, which was even more uncomfortable than walking barefoot in the snow.

This kind of cold is something he can't resist with his aura.

Ji Hongguang frowned and said: "This place is a cold ancient forest, which existed here tens of thousands of years ago. The coldness of this place is not a physical coldness, but an illusion of nothingness. This land has a special ability to create the illusion of cold for the creatures that pass by, and then make them feel cold. That's why there aren't many wild animals in the area, but there are so many plants. ”

Humans and beasts have unique minds, and they will be psychedelic by the unique land of the cold ancient forest, and then frozen to death by the cold that appears in the hallucination. But plants are different, they don't have so many unique minds, they only feel the temperature changes with their senses, so that they can thrive here.

Ji Danhuang let out an "oh" and rubbed his frozen arm vigorously. This land is really magical, and the cold illusion created is so real that he doesn't know how to deal with it.

turned his head to look at the people around him, but saw that everyone looked like nothing happened, and he couldn't feel the cold at all. Presumably, their cultivation is high enough that the illusion of the land can't affect them.

Ren Bikong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Silly apprentice, have you forgotten the mantra for cracking illusions that the master taught you before? Although the land here is peculiar, the illusion it causes is not as man-made after all. As long as you recite the mantra silently and keep your mind clear, you won't feel cold. ”

Ji Danhuang nodded, and at the moment, according to what Ren Bikong said, he silently recited Dragon Island's unique mantra for cracking illusions, and at the same time, he sealed his hands and gently pushed forward. Sure enough, after the cracking technique, the cold suddenly receded, and the legs and feet were no longer cold and stiff, and the whole body was a lot lighter.

Seeing that Ji Danhuang had successfully cracked the illusion technique in the house, Ren Bikong shook his head with a smile and said, "Alas, you kid! Cultivation has reached the soul building period, but he still can't even distinguish between reality and illusion, so he really worries about the teacher." ”

The illusion created by the land is actually very easy to find. I don't know what this stupid kid is thinking, but I don't see it.

Everyone continued to move forward, and after walking for about an hour, Ji Danhuang suddenly felt that the surroundings were no longer so deadly and silent, and some strange insect chirping could be faintly heard. Reaching out and probing around, there was no residual aura of illusion, thinking that they should have walked out of the cold ancient forest.

Then here's another deep forest.

At this moment, Nangong Jun, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly stopped, raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and his brows were tightly furrowed. Ji Danhuang thought that he had encountered some danger, and when he hurriedly looked at it, he saw that there was nothing in front of him.

Wei Chi Xian asked, "Fourth brother, what's wrong?"

Nangong Jun said: "There is a situation ahead. Wait here, I'll take a look, don't move. With that, he suddenly rose into the air, stepped on the void, and hurried forward, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Long Muyan suddenly said, "I'll go and see it too." Without waiting for others to say anything, the figure turned into a green rainbow and chased after Nangong Jun.

The rest of the group stayed where they were, not moving, all staring at the thick darkness ahead for a moment, wondering what had happened.

Ji Danhuang's heart twitched, and he looked nervously, wondering if the forest in front of him was as peculiar as the cold ancient forest, capable of creating illusions and the like.

The demon world is in danger everywhere, and even the forests where there are no wild beasts and only some immobile plants are so terrifying.

Behind, Chen Huangying couldn't help it anymore, and asked Ji Hongguang: "Hey, you used to be the boss of this demon world, you should know all the weirdness of this forest." What's up there?"

Ji Hongguang's brows also frowned slightly: "Walking here, you should have gone out of the range of the cold ancient forest, and not far ahead, you can get out of the forest and see a lake." The lake is shallow, and there is nothing out of the ordinary, so nothing should happen. ”

The Demon Realm he was familiar with was the Demon Realm tens of thousands of years ago, and he couldn't say what it would look like now. Perhaps, some powerful demonic beast is inhabited in the lake ahead.

Gently closing his eyes, Ji Hong's light and spiritual sense spread, exploring whether there was any demonic beast aura around the lake. However, after exploring carefully for a long time, he found that there was no trace of the demonic beasts entering and exiting there. On the contrary, there was a cold murderous aura that lingered on the lake, making him feel somewhat familiar.

This murderous ......

Ji Hongguang opened his eyes, and his face was slightly solemn. Although the murderous aura had become extremely faint, he could still feel the familiar feeling from it.

Thinking back to the remnants of the murderous aura in the previous mire village, and then thinking about the murderous aura left in the lake in front of him, Ji Hongguang felt a little surprised. That man was actually the first to walk on the route they were going through.

Is this another gain from this trip to the Demon Realm in addition to saving people?

Looking back and seeing Ji Hongguang's tightly knit brows and a smile on the corner of his mouth, Ji Danhuang only felt a little inexplicable. This expression looked so entangled, whether he was worried or happy!

can show such an expression, it seems that Ji Hongguang knows something.

A gust of wind blows, bringing a hint of coolness. Ji Danhuang, who was hesitating to ask about the situation in front of Ji Hongguang, his face changed suddenly.

"Ahead, there's blood!"
