166, Forest of Fear (2)
Shushan is located in the middle of Yizhou, although this sect has now fallen to the point of only two people, but where Shushan is located, in the hearts of the locals, is still a mysterious and unreachable place.
On this day, the sun was shining. There is a large forest at the foot of Shushan Mountain, although the sun is strong at this time, but it is only outside the forest, and the forest is pitch black, and it is almost impossible to see.
This forest is called the Forest of Fear, and the whole forest is eerie, and there is an enchantment prohibition on the periphery, so few people set foot on it.
And at this moment, there were a man and two women standing outside the Forest of Fear, it was Su Yang and the three of them.
Feeling the gloomy aura, it seemed that even the sunlight shining on his body suddenly became a lot colder, and Su Yang's brows furrowed slightly. Looking at the appearance of this forest of fear, it seems that it is not as simple as I imagined.
Similarly, feeling this aura, Chu Yan and Lin Xueqing were also uncomfortable. I only heard Lin Xueqing groan and said: "No one has entered this fear forest for hundreds of years, looking at this breath, it seems to be even stronger than what Master described, it is obvious that a lot of changes should have taken place here in the past hundred years, we have to be careful." ”
As she spoke, Lin Xueqing stepped forward and released her vitality. Slowly, I saw the void not far in front of me rippling like a stream of water, and the ripples floated by, revealing a hollow.
"This is the entrance to the Forest of Fear, and once we enter, we only need to walk west along the periphery to see the Shu Mountain through the forest. Remember, you have to go straight west from here, or you'll be inside the forest, where the dangers are not something we can handle. Lin Xueqing turned her head to look at Su Yang and Chu Yan, and said in a deep voice.
Lin Xueqing had said this kind of reminder many times along the way, and being able to repeat it so many times with her indifferent nature itself showed the danger of this fear forest.
With the same calm face, Su Yang and Chu Yan nodded at Lin Xueqing in unison, and then the three of them walked into the hollow. When the three of them entered, the void in the void behind them quietly merged, and a white mist rose all around, obscuring the scene outside.
Su Yang looked up and saw that although the blue sky could be seen from the mottled shadows of some trees, those rays of light could not be transmitted no matter what, and the entire forest was extremely dark.
After determining the direction, the three of them walked forward. Their steps are extremely slow, and their whole body is tense, and their vitality is running rapidly in their bodies, ready to shoot at any time.
Quiet!
At this time, the only feeling of the three of them at this time was that there were no insects and beasts, and there was no wind and grass. They walked on the ground where the rotting leaves and dead branches were piled up, and they didn't even make the sound of footsteps.
The three of them walked forward, Su Yang walked in the front, and Chu Yan and Lin Xueqing walked side by side at the end.
I don't know if it's because they've been here for a long time, and Su Yang's feelings have become even stronger. Even with Su Yang's current cultivation, he couldn't help but feel a little chilly, and this chill actually made the vitality in his body sluggish.
Although there was only a trace of it, Su Yang was still keenly aware of it, his brows furrowed, and he said: "The vitality gathers in the dantian, try not to leak out, the gloomy qi here seems to be able to freeze the vitality and hinder the operation of the vitality." ”
After the three of them went through the two tribulations in the Xuantian Python Tiankeng and the Demon Cultivation Cave Mansion before, although a lot of things happened to each other, the tacit understanding was getting better and better.
Just hearing Su Yang say this, Chu Yan and Lin Xueqing had already done so, although they originally belonged to the hostile forces, but now that the mustard was gone, they fully trusted.
I walked for I don't know how long, and suddenly at this moment, Su Yang suddenly stood still and didn't move. Su Yang stopped, and the two women behind him naturally stopped.
A hint of wonder flashed in Chu Yan's eyes, and she asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Obviously, Su Yang stopped so abruptly, naturally something had happened, Chu Yan asked as he spoke, and the pair of red short blades were already clenched in his hands.
Seeing this, Lin Xueqing also pulled out her Qiushui long sword with a "hum" and looked around cautiously.
Su Yang turned his head and said, "Look ahead, we seem to be lost. ”
Hearing this, the two women hurriedly looked ahead, but the entire Forest of Dread was full of towering trees like this, and they were just as luxuriant, and they couldn't see any similarities or differences at all.
And at this moment, suddenly Chu Yan's gaze swept downward, and his face suddenly changed. Immediately afterwards, Lin Xueqing also saw the clue at a glance.
I saw that on the ground in front of the three of them, there was a series of footprints stretching straight forward, and I didn't know where to go. And this series of footprints can obviously be seen to be three people, and it is obvious that they have just stepped on it.
Needless to say, these are the footprints of the three of them. At this time, the two women understood in their hearts that, as Su Yang said, they were lost.
But Lin Xueqing felt strange in her heart, she heard Master Jian Xin Zhenren talk about the things in the Fear Forest in detail, but Jian Xin didn't mention that she would get lost here.
Lin Xueqing clearly remembered that Jian Xin had said that there was no such thing as a phantom array in the forest, so for cultivators, the direction was very easy to control. And this is why Shushan can safely let the disciples test on the periphery of this fear forest.
But now that the three of them have clearly lost their way, it seems that in the hundreds of years that no one has set foot in, the Forest of Fear has not only changed, but this change has not been small. At the very least, it actually made one monk in the late stage of the Dan stage and two monks in the stage of Dan Cheng get lost in it.
"What should we do now?" Chu Yan asked in a deep voice.
Now they don't dare to go down easily, without direction, they will most likely enter the interior of the Forest of Dread, in that case, it will be really dangerous.
Su Yang and the three of them looked at each other, and it was obvious that they didn't have any good options at this time.
Suddenly, at this moment, a bright light flashed above the heads of the three of them, and they were all nervously guarded. Looking up, when they saw the scene overhead, the three of them were all relieved, and it turned out that the leaves at the top reflected a ray of sunlight.
Suddenly, the three of them suddenly felt a shock, since there is sunlight, is it not easy to determine the direction? Thinking of this, the three of them looked up in unison, and could faintly see that there was a particularly bright place in the sky exposed between the gaps in the leaves, and it was obvious that the sun was there.
It was almost noon when they entered, so it seemed that the sun should be in the south. Having determined the direction of the sun, they quickly identified the west and thought about going west.
But they didn't realize it, and as soon as they left, the light at the top of the tree suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a dark shadow.
