Nothing was seen in sight, but the living said that the undead were right in front of them, and they looked confident.
Wu Tian frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Where is it?"
"follow me."
The creature did not answer, but only gave a warning and then flew forward.
Wutan and Han Tian looked at each other with some confusion in their eyes, and quickly chased after him.
The Bird Saint landed on Wu Tian's shoulder, alertly looking around with full concentration.
Ten breaths later, under the guidance of the creature, a low mountain came into sight.
The low mountain is only a hundred feet high, covered with bushes and weeds, presenting a vibrant scene.
But apart from these, there was not even a single reptile, and it was eerily quiet.
Swish!!!
The three of them landed one after another on a bluestone on the top of the mountain.
The creature looked around and saw Wu Tian and Di Tian standing aside without saying a word.
After a while, the creature scratched the back of his head and muttered, "This is really weird."
"What's the meaning?"
Wutan and the other man were very confused.
"Xiao Si seems to be moving. I can capture the direction, but I can't capture his exact location. I feel that he is very close to me, but why can't I see his trace?"
The creature's smooth forehead wrinkled into a ball, and his heart was extremely irritated.
Wutan and the other man looked at each other, with surprise and doubt in their eyes.
Even the living can't capture the location of the undead. Where are the source of all evil and the undead now
What surprised the two men the most was that the living creature said that the undead spirit was very close to him. In other words, the undead spirit was somewhere nearby. However, they had searched the area within tens of millions of miles with their divine senses, but had not found any trace of the source of all evil or the undead spirit.
Bird Saint wondered, "Could it be that the place they are in now is invisible to our naked eyes?"
Wu Tian said: "Maybe... it's really possible, but it is definitely related to the Black River."
The living being was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Wu Tian said: "There are no people or beasts in this forest, except for the Black River, the source of all evil and the reason for the disappearance of the dead. Apart from it, I can't think of anyone else?"
Emperor Tian said: "Not entirely. Although there are no people or beasts on the surface, who knows what is hidden in secret? The mysterious creature that stole the inheritance of the little peacock is the best proof."
"Oh, it's really a headache."
Wu Tian sighed deeply and said, "For now, we can only find the Black River first, and then look for clues."
The living being shook his head and said, "This idea is probably unrealistic. After all, the Black River has a spirit. If it finds out that we are deliberately looking for it, it may never appear in this world in our lifetime."
Wu Tian asked back: "If it were you, would you be willing to hide in the dark for the rest of your life?"
The living being said unhappily: "You are talking nonsense. No ghost would be willing to do such a thing, let alone me."
Wu Tian said: "That's it. Black River is afraid of us, but that's just our guess. Maybe its real intention is just to tease us or make us have an illusion, and then suddenly appear to kill us when we let down our guard."
Di Tian nodded and said, "What Wu Tian said makes sense, and this is the only solution we have now."
The living being said, "Okay then!"
"Bird Saint, it's the same as before. You keep a certain distance from us and wake us up at the critical moment. Living beings, you carefully sense the location of the undead. Now we have no clue and no goal, so we can only search by following the breath of the undead." Wu Tian said.
"kindness."
The Bird Saint nodded, spread his wings and flew backwards.
However, just as it was leaving, a strange aura swept towards Wutan and the other two like a tide.
Although the three were well prepared, they immediately lost consciousness when they were enveloped by the aura and walked down the hill.
At the same time, a dark river suddenly appeared at the foot of the hill, extending into the depths of the dense forest at both ends, exuding a terrifying weirdness everywhere.
“Damn it!”
Seeing this scene suddenly, the Bird Saint couldn't help but curse on the spot and immediately turned back.
"boom!!!"
Accompanied by three muffled sounds, Wutan and the other two were hit hard on the forehead by the Bird Saint's claws and woke up on the spot.
When they first woke up, they were all a little confused, just like at the beginning, but when they saw the black river on the ground below, they understood what was going on.
"Go down and take a look."
Wutan took a step forward and appeared at the edge of the Black River. An aura that was several times more terrifying than before submerged him like a tide.
His face suddenly changed and he quickly retreated, but after just two steps back he stopped again.
He was surprised to find that although the aura near Heihe was stronger than before, it did not engulf his consciousness in an instant, but was only eroding his soul.
“Swish!!!”
Emperor Tian, the living beings, and the Bird Saint arrived one after another, and soon discovered this abnormality, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Suddenly, the Bird Saint said anxiously: "Look, that's what the bridge looks like."
Wu Tian and the other two were startled and immediately shifted their gaze. They saw that there was indeed a phantom of a bridge somewhere upstream of the Black River. It was estimated that it was about five million miles away from their current location.
"Let's go and take a look!"
The Bird Saint Dao, with divine power gushing out, swept up the three people and flew into the air!
However, when they came here, they found that the bridge was not here at all, but was deep inside.
And just like before, the shadow of the bridge was still more than five million miles away from their current location.
“Something’s wrong!”
Wu Tian and Di Tian looked at each other, and couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Bird Saint said angrily: "Go on, I don't believe that the bridge can move on its own."
After saying this, it swept up the three people and flew away again.
However, just like before, no matter how hard they chased, they could not get close to the bridge, and the distance between them remained at about five million miles.
“Hehehe!”
Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly sounded behind them.
Wu Tian's hairs stood up immediately, but when he looked back, there was nothing but deep mountains and old forests.
However, he had already heard that the hideous laughter echoing around him was exactly the same as the hideous laughter of the mysterious creature that had robbed the little peacock of his inheritance.
From this it seems that the two are really the same person.
Di Tian bowed to the void in front of him and said, "Senior, I and others did not mean to intrude here. If we have offended you, please forgive us."
Obviously, he also discovered that the mysterious man hiding in the dark was the same person who stole the Little Peacock's inheritance.
Wu Tian also bowed and said: "Senior, please show me a clear way and release my companions. I will leave immediately."
But apart from their own voices echoing in the void, there was no other sound. Even the sinister laughter faded away, and the place returned to deathly silence again.
After waiting for a while there was no response. Wutan and the other man looked at each other, with a hint of anger in their eyes.
"Humph, you are hiding your head and tail, hurting others secretly, you are simply a shameless scum. If you really have the guts, come out and fight Grandpa Bird Saint for three hundred rounds. If Grandpa Bird Saint can't subdue you, he will be your grandson."
Bird Saint snorted coldly, with a strong sense of disdain in his tone.
However, the mysterious man in the dark was not provoked by him and still did not show up.
Di Tian frowned and said, "Have you noticed that as long as we enter the shore, the Black River will not disappear?"
"Indeed."
Wu Tian nodded, pondered for a moment, frowned slightly, and said: "From the appearance, the Black River has indeed not disappeared, but have you ever thought about whether the Black River has not disappeared or we are now in the territory of the Black River."
The creature wondered, "What do you mean?"
Wu Tian said: "What I mean is that maybe the Black River is an area of its own and has now disappeared in the primeval forest. It's just that we are in it and can't notice it."
"It's a domain of its own, so it can't be detected?"
Di Tian's pupils shrank slightly, and he said, "You mean, there is an illusory world around the Black River, and we are in this world now?"
Wu Tian nodded and said, "That's probably what I mean."
The living being suggested: "How about we withdraw again and see?"
"no!"
Wu Tian flatly refused, saying: "We know nothing about the Black River. Who can guarantee that it will appear again? Moreover, if we all retreat, we can't see any clues..."
At this point, he pondered for a moment and said, "There is only one way now."
Bird Saint asked: "What method?"
Wu Tian said: "This method is you."
"I?"
The Bird Saint was stunned.
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Only you can stop the initial erosion of the mysterious aura, so to determine whether the area around the Black River is an independent area, you have to go out alone to check..."
Before Wu Tian finished speaking, Bird Saint said, "Why are you still hesitating? I'll go out now."
"Wait."
Wu Tian hurriedly called it back and shook his head, "I haven't finished talking yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
"What do you say."
"Preliminary judgment shows that we enter the shore from different locations each time, and the Earth Token cannot transmit sound. If you go out, you will most likely lose contact with us. Therefore, for the sake of safety, I have come up with a solution."
As Wutan spoke, he pulled out the mustard bag from his waist and searched carefully for a while. Finally, under the suspicious gaze of the Bird Saint, he took out a rope.
Bird Saint said strangely: "Why did you take this out? Are you going to put it around my neck?"
Wu Tian smiled faintly and said, "That's right, I'm going to put it around your neck. Although I'm not sure if this method will work, it's better than nothing!"
Di Tian grabbed one end of the rope, pulled it hard, nodded and said, "It's quite tough. As long as you don't pull it too hard, it shouldn't break."
Wutan smiled, tied a knot at the front end of the rope, and was about to put it on Bird Saint's head.
But at this moment, the Bird Saint said angrily: "Get out of the way, I'm not a pet, why are you putting a rope around me?"
Then, it stretched out its claws, glared at Wu Tian unhappily, and said, "Give it to me, I'll hold it."
Wu Tian shook his head in amusement and said, "No, when the mysterious aura first emerges, you will temporarily lose consciousness. If you just hold on to it, it will definitely come loose. It's better to put it around your neck to avoid any accidents."
"Well... well, in order to figure out the mystery of the Black River, Grandpa Bird Saint will sacrifice his dignity."
After hesitating for a moment, Bird Saint also figured it out. Now is not the time to worry about these small problems. He took the rope from Wu Tian and put it directly around his neck, saying: "Wait until I find out the situation, I will pull the rope, and then you will pull me in with all your strength."
