I encountered a ghost in broad daylight!
Mu Yu was unwilling to walk again. This time he deliberately slowed down and carefully observed the road ahead. As expected, he walked around and saw dark vines and a messy middle-aged man. He simply changed direction and walked back, walking through the misty white fog, but still saw a middle-aged man with a calm face.
"It's still the same even if you walk hundreds of times. It's very weird here. I've tried it no less than a thousand times." The middle-aged man looked at Mu Yu's disbelief and shook his head. In the past six months, he had almost explored this road, but he could not find the way out at all. As long as you walk straight, you will definitely return to the starting point.
"If you can't get out, is this the territory of the Yumon Demon Clan?" Mu Yu asked warily.
He still remembers clearly what happened when Mu Yumeng used trees to create a way for them. But there are no plants around here, so it must not be Muyumeng's fault. There is a river next to it, which should be related to Shuyumeng.
"Yumeng Demon Clan? Hasn't it disappeared for a long time? This is certainly not the territory of the Yumen Demon Clan. Why do you ask that?" the middle-aged man asked strangely.
Mu Yu frowned: "Isn't it the territory of the Yumon Demon Clan?"
"This is the maze set up by Senior Kumu Changqing. We are trapped in the maze." The middle-aged man continued, "You thought you were walking in a straight line along the river bank, but you have already made a circle without knowing it. .”
"You mean this river is a circle?" Mu Yu didn't understand very well. He was no stranger to battle formations. Not to mention that the Luochen Mountain he spent time with was full of all kinds of powerful formations. He came to the Mie Continent with the help of The teleportation array of the Yumeng Demon Clan, not to mention the Immortal Prison that threatens millions of people in the Moyun Mountains.
"The valley is straight, and the river is also straight. Even if it is curved, it will not form a circle. We are trapped in a maze. What you see with your eyes may not be true. This is the power of this valley maze. place."
This explanation is very illustrative. In order not to be affected by the Yumeng Demon Clan's formation, Mu Yu used Sinan to guide the route. Unfortunately, he does not have Sinan now. The fact that Deadwood Evergreen can transform this place into a powerful maze is enough to show how extraordinary this person is.
Every formation has a way to break it, it just depends on whether the flaw in this formation is obvious enough for Mu Yu to notice. What was a little helpless was that Mu Yu did not learn the knowledge of formations from his master. For some reason, his master did not intend to teach him how to set up formations.
"What's your name?" the man asked.
"Muyu."
"You can call me Lao Tan."
Mu Yu felt that Lao Tan didn't look like a bad person. He wanted to sit down, but when he saw the skeleton, he moved a few steps aside.
"What exactly is this place?" Mu Yu asked.
"You really don't know? Didn't anyone tell you that no one can enter here?"
Mu Yu shook his head in embarrassment: "I ran away secretly and no one told me."
Lao Tan suddenly realized, thinking that this boy was probably a disciple of some sect who sneaked out for fun. Unfortunately, he entered here by mistake, and his life was destined to be over.
"You probably haven't heard of Dead Wood Evergreen. Dead Wood Evergreen is a well-known person in the world of cultivation. He has superb cultivation and a weird temper. He has no sect background and no disciples. Even the Eight Sects don't dare to provoke him easily. He. This valley was originally a normal place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. However, one day five years ago, a stone tablet was suddenly erected at the entrance to both sides of the valley. It said, "There is a Sky Demon Fruit in the valley. If you take it, you will be rewarded generously." '. At the same time, heavy fog began to appear in the valley."
Old Tan paused. He must have been looking for the word "big reward", and then said: "The dead tree has a weird temper that many people can't figure out. He is neither a member of the evil sect nor a decent person. , but he is a person who sticks to his word, and he is also a master of using poison. His poison makes many cultivators frightened. There are rumors in the cultivation world that the dead tree is going to live in seclusion in this place. He should be looking for a successor. , so these checkpoints were set up in the valley for testing. However, he himself did not confirm that only people below the out-of-body stage can enter this valley, which means that the highest cultivation level that can enter is only the Nascent Soul stage."
Why is it so similar to the restrictions of Moyun Mountain Range!
Mu Yu muttered, but the Moyun Mountain Range will soon be inaccessible even to those in the Nascent Soul stage, so there is still a difference.
According to what Lao Tan said, many people were eager to try it. A large number of people in the Nascent Soul Stage and Golden Core Stage poured in from the beginning, all wanting to look for the so-called Sky Demon Fruit. Some people come to join in the fun, and some people want to truly worship dead trees as their teachers. However, as soon as they entered, the green poisonous mist first poisoned the cultivators at the Golden Core stage, while those at the Nascent Soul stage could pass by relying on their own cultivation. But people in the Nascent Soul stage were also trapped in the maze when they arrived here. Some powerful people broke the maze and moved on, but I have never heard of anyone who succeeded.
For five years, this place has been classified as a forbidden area, and people from many sects will warn their disciples not to enter the Dead Wood Valley. However, even though they knew that many people died here, many people still rushed in regardless of their own safety. Some people wanted to get the inheritance of Dead Wood Evergreen, or like Lao Tan, let Dead Wood Evergreen help him take revenge.
Lao Tan must have had a deep grudge against someone, and he was unable to take revenge. He wanted to try his luck here out of desperation, but unfortunately he was trapped here.
"We haven't even heard of this place. We just came here looking for food and money." Xiaoshuai said innocently.
"According to what you said, a lot of people should have died, but I didn't see many human bones, only about a dozen." Mu Yu was puzzled.
"When it gets dark, it's not safe to be on the river bank. Monsters will come out of the river and come ashore in search of food. They eat what they can on the bank, and if they can't finish it, they drag it into the water. Most monsters can't Go into that green mist." When Lao Tan talked about those monsters, his face showed a hint of fear. With his cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage, he was actually scared. How powerful were those monsters
"Then how did this skeleton remain so intact?" Mu Yu glanced at the skeleton next to Lao Tan. There were no bones missing from the skeleton, and the bones and joints were all connected together.
Old Tan sighed and said: "There is a kind of monster in the river called the Melting Water Demon. The venom of the Melting Water Demon will instantly melt human flesh and blood. This guy was just unlucky and did not take timely measures at night, so he was killed." The venom of the molten water demon was poured over it, and it turned directly into a skeleton."
"It's so dangerous here, uncle, how did you escape the attack of the monster?" Mu Yu had heard of monsters such as the melting water monster before. This monster uses venom to turn human flesh and blood into the purest blood, and then Devour it again. Many monsters are reluctant to touch the skeleton contaminated by venom, which is why the bones are so well preserved.
"Have you seen the top? Someone dug a cave on the cliff wall. That's my place to stay. You can't fly here, and the pressure increases the higher you climb." Old Tan sighed, "It's already very crowded here. Few people come here, and I haven’t spoken to anyone in half a year.”
"We saw a person coming in just now!" Xiaoshuai said, "but we lost track of him."
"He's probably on the other side of the river!"
Lao Tan was a little surprised. Since hundreds of people died here, no one in the Nascent Soul stage would care about the inheritance of dead trees and everlasting trees. He has never heard of anyone succeeding in it for so many years.
"Can I cross the river?" Mu Yu glanced across the river. The fog was so thick that he could only vaguely see an outline. The width of the river was about a hundred meters. .
Old Tan shook his head: "There is a whirlpool in the center of the river. We can't fly or break away here. Fortunately, the water in the river is drinkable, otherwise I wouldn't have survived for half a year."
As long as there is spiritual energy, cultivators can do without eating. The spiritual energy in the valley gives people a very depressing feeling and is not suitable for cultivation, so Lao Tan can only survive by drinking water.
"Aren't there live vines on the cliff wall? They don't attack people?" Mu Yu was entangled in a piece of live vine just now.
"Of course. Just be careful and try to stay down here during the day. In fact, I'm curious, no one at the Golden Core stage has ever been able to come here. How did you get here?"
Mu Yu smiled. Naturally, he would not reveal his ability to control Mu, so he casually said, "I am born immune to all poisons."
Unexpectedly, Lao Tan looked at Mu Yu with a shocked face: "Are you the legendary one without a constitution?"
"No constitution?"
Mu Yu thought it was quite funny. He had a powerful physique after just talking about it, which was quite helpless. At first Master Yao said that he had a woody constitution, but now Lao Tan came up with a no constitution. So what kind of constitution is a no constitution
"You don't know? The Wu constitution is a legendary constitution that is invulnerable to all poisons. They are naturally resistant to things that are harmful to the body, and they will never get sick. The spiritual energy they absorb from the outside world is the purest spiritual energy, so their cultivation The speed is very fast." Lao Tan said with admiration.
Mu Yu doesn't care about being without a constitution, he knows that he is not without a constitution, he is just special, but it is true that he can practice quickly. What he wants to know most now is how to get out of here. This uncle has been trapped here for half a year and has not been out. Can he get out
Night fell quickly. According to what Lao Tan said, the river bank was no longer safe. Lao Tan was still a good man and asked Mu Yu to huddle with him in a cave on the cliff wall. It took a lot of effort to climb to this cave. Flying is not allowed here. The higher you climb, the greater the pressure, which makes Mu Yu very tired.
The cave is very narrow and was dug manually. It is only about one meter high and two meters wide. Lao Tan widened it a little more and it is about three meters deep. He has only widened it a little in half a year. The mountain's The hardness can be imagined.
Lao Tan said that the spiritual energy here is thin and the cultivation speed is slow. Mu Yu feels that the spiritual energy here is not much worse than that of Moyun Mountain Range, so Mu Yu can still adapt. The two used the alchemy and fire stones to make a fire. Lao Tan had not eaten for half a year. Unfortunately, no live monsters were found here. Otherwise, they could use the alchemy and fire stones to roast some prey.
Mu Yu took out the last roast goose and gave it to Lao Tan as a thank you for being kind enough to take him in. Xiao Shuai was very reluctant. After Mu Yu warned him not to mess around, he didn't say anything against it. Lao Tan hadn't seen anything to eat in half a year, so when he saw the roast goose, he immediately started devouring it.
Although cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage do not need to eat food, food can restore physical energy more quickly than spiritual energy, and eating is human nature. Not to mention how uncomfortable it feels to not eat for half a year. Xiaoshuai can't even go a day without eating. Humming.
The night in the valley is eerily silent, with no chirping of insects, no croaking of frogs, only strange rustling sounds and the tinkling of the river. You can't even see the sky when you look up during the day, let alone at night. Muyu sat at the entrance of the cave, looking out at the darkness all around him. I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something, but he always felt that something was crawling on the river bank below. After watching it for a while, he decided to sit back. Lao Tan was already sitting there cross-legged, wondering whether he was practicing or sleeping, so Mu Yu didn't bother him.
"I wouldn't have come if I had known that." Mu Yu felt regretful. Others came here to look for treasures, but he only came here to find food. He didn't expect that he would be involved. This is really a trick of fate.
Muyu felt that he should have a good sleep first and think about how to leave tomorrow. He closed his eyes with those silent and monotonous sounds, but he was completely sleepless at the moment. There were only those sounds in his ears, and it seemed something was not right, as if there were other sounds outside...
"It's the sound of fighting." Old Tan opened his eyes, quickly moved to the entrance of the cave, and looked outside.
Mu Yu quickly got up and hit the roof of the cave in a panic. He grunted in pain and came to the entrance of the cave with tears in his eyes.
