"Demon spirit?"
Hearing these two words, Wutan and others were shocked.
The dead spirit said: "At that time, my brother Wan'e and I entered the realm of the River of Life and Death. We wandered around for a while and planned to look for you, but at this moment, the evil spirit of the River of Life and Death suddenly appeared and pushed us all into the river. Fortunately, the River of Life and Death is the exit, otherwise it would be over now."
"Humph, you really don't know how to appreciate a good person."
Before the undead finished speaking, a cold snort suddenly sounded.
“Swish!”
Then, a short black shadow appeared above the ancient bridge, shrouded in black fog, and its true appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Die, bastard!"
Upon seeing this, the undead's eyes immediately burst into intense anger. He let out a loud roar and pounced towards the black shadow with murderous intent.
The source of all evil raised his eyebrows and stopped him: "Xiao Si, stop it."
The undead said angrily: "Evil brother, don't stop me, I must kill him today!"
The Source of All Evil shook his head and said, "You misunderstood him. In fact, he is helping us."
"Help us?"
The undead was stunned, his eyes full of suspicion.
The demon spirit said disdainfully: "The River of Life and Death is the exit. Since I took the initiative to appear and push you down, it is obvious that I am helping you. You are really stupid for not being able to think of such a simple truth."
The Source of All Evil asked in confusion: "Why are you helping us?"
The demon spirit said: "This is easy. Of course, I am doing this because you are of the same kind. Otherwise, I would not care about your life or death."
"I see."
The dead spirit suddenly realized, and then angrily said: "Then why don't you just say it?"
“Hehehe!”
The demon spirit laughed grimly and said, "If I told you clearly, wouldn't you immediately inform Wu Tian and the others? In this case, what is the meaning of the River of Life and Death?"
"It's you!"
Hearing this sinister laugh, Wutan's eyes flashed with brilliance.
This sinister laugh is so familiar, it is the mysterious person who stole the Little Peacock's inheritance!
"Yes, that's me."
The demon nodded in acknowledgement, and his tone suddenly became extremely cold, saying: "Do you want to know why I want to snatch Peacock's inheritance?"
Wu Tian asked: "Why?"
The demon spirit said: "Originally, whether you live or die, I cannot interfere, but your behavior really makes me very angry."
Wu Tian frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
The demon spirit said gloomily: "You actually let your subordinates pick all the spiritual essences. This is simply unforgivable!"
"It turns out that the spiritual essence really has an owner."
Wu Tian's pupils shrank slightly, and he bowed his hands in apology, saying: "I'm so sorry, I didn't know those spiritual essences were yours. If I had known earlier, I would never have taken a single one. How about this, I will return those spiritual essences to you..."
Before he could finish, the demon spirit waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. As long as you promise to do one thing for me, I will forgive you."
The Bird Saint said dissatisfiedly: "You are letting bygones be bygones. Who do you think you are?"
"Hehehe, you dead crow, don't think that you have the capital to be arrogant just because you are a calamity god. I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, if I try to interfere, you will never get out of the Forest of Despair!" said the evil spirit.
Bird Saint sneered and said, "Grandpa Bird Saint is not only going to be arrogant today, he is also going to kill you!"
Wu Tian was quick-witted and grabbed it, saying, "Don't be impulsive. This place is not as simple as it seems. You should find out more first."
"Well, let him live a little longer."
The Bird Saint snorted coldly, murderous intent hidden in his eyes.
Wu Tian smiled faintly, looked at the demon spirit and said, "Is this the Forest of Despair?"
The demon spirit said, "Yes, the Forest of Despair is divided into two parts. The place where you were before is the inner area of the Forest of Despair, which is the forest behind you. The other side of the bridge is the outer area of the Forest of Despair. Although you have left the inner area, the outer area is still full of dangers. Without my help, it would be harder for you to get out of the outer area than to climb to the sky."
Wu Tian frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
The demon spirit said: "There are no fierce beasts in the inner area, but in the outer area, fierce beasts of the god level are everywhere."
The pupils of Wu Tian and others constricted.
At this time, the dead spirit glared at the demon spirit and said, "Wutian, don't believe his lies. My brother Wan'e and I have been to other areas before, and we didn't encounter any god-level beasts at all."
The demon spirit taunted, "You and I are both demon spirits, but why are you so stupid? The River of Life and Death has a terrible reputation that intimidates the Holy Battlefield. Who dares to approach it within a billion miles? Even the fierce beasts of the god level regard this place as a forbidden area."
"Famous name?"
Wutan and the others looked at each other, and the doubt in their eyes grew stronger.
They have experienced the River of Life and Death before, and they have also explored the inner area without encountering any fatal crisis. So why does it have a bad reputation
Upon seeing this, the evil spirit smiled coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a white bone appeared. It was about the size of a palm, shining with divine light and emitting a terrifying aura!
The Bird Saint's pupils shrank, and he whispered, "This is a god-level animal bone!"
Wu Tian and others were shocked.
At this time, the demon spirit sneered and said, "This is the bone of a three-tribulation god. Now let you self-righteous ants see the horror of the River of Life and Death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the piece of animal bone fell towards the Black River. However, the moment it came into contact with the river water, it melted instantly and disappeared!
Seeing this scene, Wutan and others’ eyes almost popped out, full of shock!
You know, the owner of the animal bones was a three-tribulation god in his lifetime, but the river water can actually melt them. Isn’t this river water too scary
The demon spirit said contemptuously: "Ants, did you see that? Do you really think that the River of Life and Death is just a decoration? Let me tell you, not only is the River of Life and Death enough to kill you instantly, but even this Bridge of Life and Death can kill you instantly!"
Wu Tian said: "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
As it turned out, the evil spirit did not scare them, so instead of asking too many questions or negotiating terms, it would be better to simply agree to him and leave this horrible place as soon as possible.
The demon spirit said: "Help me find someone, but I don't know what this person looks like."
Wu Tian frowned and said, "I don't know what he looks like, how do you want me to find him?"
The demon spirit said: "Although I don't know what he looks like, there is one thing he can't erase, and that is his true form."
"Main body?"
Wu Tian was puzzled.
"That's right. His true form is half a bridge. I have a stone tablet here. Once you encounter him, the stone tablet will react and will take you to find him."
After the demon spirit finished speaking, the stone tablet with the River of Life and Death engraved on it in front of Wutan and the others suddenly rose from the ground, and quickly shrank to the size of a palm, floating in front of Wutan.
"Half a bridge? A stone tablet?"
Wu Tian instinctively glanced at the Bridge of Life and Death, then looked at the black stone tablet in front of him, his eyes flickering, he pondered for a moment, and asked: "After finding him, what should I do?"
The demon spirit said: "You don't have to do anything, the stone tablet will suppress him personally."
"So simple?"
Wutan was extremely shocked and couldn't help but look at Ditian with a questioning look.
Di Tian transmitted his voice: "No matter if there is any conspiracy or not, we must agree to it first, and we can talk about it after we leave here."
Wu Tian's eyes flashed, he looked at Mo Ling and nodded, "Okay, I'll try my best to help you find him, but I'm confused, why don't you ask Long Hu and Ni Yeye for help?"
The demon spirit said: "I sensed a very terrifying aura in the body of the dragon and tiger you mentioned, and the dragon and tiger know the mystery of the River of Life and Death, so they are definitely not ordinary people. Therefore, I am not at ease to give this task to them."
"Could it be that the demon slave is hiding in the dragon and tiger's body? The road of life and death has the power of rules, so it should be impossible. It is probably because the dragon and tiger have merged with the divine bones of their previous lives, which makes the demon spirits feel fearful."
Wutan muttered secretly, waved his hand, and prepared to put the stone tablet into the mustard bag.
Seeing this, a hint of mockery appeared in the eyes of the demon spirit, but it was shrouded in black fog, so Wutan and others could not see it.
"etc."
But at this moment, Xiao Wuhao spoke out to stop him.
"how?"
Wu Tian paused, full of confusion.
"Hey, did he find out?"
Seeing this, the demon spirit secretly complained.
Xiao Wuhao explained: "The stone tablet is a divine object. The mustard bag cannot bear it and will shatter immediately."
"A divine object!"
Wu Tian was secretly startled and couldn't help but look at the demon spirit. Xiao Wu Hao's voice rang out: "Don't look at it. The demon spirit didn't remind you because it must want to see you make a fool of yourself."
Wu Tian raised his eyebrows, looked away, and asked secretly: "Then where should I put the stone tablet?"
After a short silence, Xiao Wuhao said, "The Star Realm is definitely not an option. Either put it in the Canghai Sea or give it to Di Tian for safekeeping."
"Then leave it to Di Tian."
Wutan made a decision in an instant and sent a few words to Ditian. Ditian glanced at the demon spirit meaningfully, nodded to Wutan, and with a wave of his hand, sent the stone tablet into the sea of qi.
"I didn't expect to be discovered by this kid."
The demon spirit grumbled secretly. He was very unhappy that he didn't see the expected scene. He said coldly: "Go ahead. If there are any ferocious beasts that come to trouble you on the road, the stone tablet will help you."
Wu Tian said: "Can I ask again, what kind of world is the Holy Battlefield?"
"You will know it naturally when you walk out of the Forest of Despair. By the way, I seem to have forgotten to explain the rules of holy war to you."
The evil spirit patted his head and waved his hand. Four golden beams of light broke through the air and stopped in front of Wujitan.
It turned out that these were four tokens, only as big as a baby's palm, and they looked like they were cast in gold, shining with dazzling brilliance.
The demon spirit said: "These four Heavenly Tokens are the identity tokens for you, Di Tian, Ye Tian, and Han Tian. Before leaving the Forest of Despair, you must all acknowledge your master with a drop of blood. Remember, you must not lose them or let others take them away. In short, you must keep the tokens with you at all times."
"Why?"
Wu Tian was full of doubts.
The demon spirit explained: "Because the Holy Battlefield has the power of rules, outsiders like you, if you don't have the protection of the Heavenly Order, will be crushed by the power of rules."
"The power of rules!"
Wutan and the other man were shocked.
The demon said in a deep voice: "I advise you to protect the Heavenly Order as if it were your own life. Moreover, whether it is you or the people in the Holy Realm, this time we have only one goal, which is to kill each other and seize the Heavenly Order and the Holy Order. The Holy Order is the identity token of the people in the Holy Realm. The person who obtains the most will be the final winner. As for the time of the holy war, it will only last for a thousand years. After a thousand years, you must report here on your own initiative."
