The cultivators of the Central Continent ran over to where the screams were.
When they passed through the jungle, they immediately saw a dead forest standing in front of the forest. The trunk of the dead tree twists and grows in a very strange posture. The color of the whole tree is like a dead wood that has been burned by fire. It is extremely dark, and the tree is full of light. There are only branches and no leaves, as if these trees are dead.
From a distance, these dead trees without leaves look like monsters with teeth and claws.
Taking a quick look, their eyes fell on the group of cultivators in the inner sea area.
I saw them standing under a dead tree, tense all over, holding weapons, and subconsciously put on defensive postures.
"What happened?" Tang Shaolin asked.
The cultivators in the inner sea area turned their heads, saw that it was them, and made way for them to see clearly.
Everyone walked over, just in time to see a cultivator collapsed under the dead tree, his hands were tightly covering his heart, his hands were covered with blood, and the clothes around his heart were also bloody. This person's face was ominously black and blue, his mouth was long open, and he made a ho-ho sound, looking very painful.
Just when they arrived, the vitality of the cultivator suddenly disappeared, his skin quickly turned blue-gray, and he fell stiffly on the ground, like a zombie.
Just die like that
Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Especially the group of cultivators in the Inner Sea Region showed a look of shock on their faces. They obviously didn't expect that people would die in front of them in such a short time, and they also turned into such a strange appearance.
Obviously this person was still with them before, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shui Liyin asked seriously, "How did he die?"
The practitioners in the Inner Sea looked at me, I looked at you, and finally looked at Min Jishu who was not far away.
Because they didn't know how the man died. When they heard the screams, they found that he had fallen to the ground, covering his heart with his hands in pain, and then this group of people appeared, and then the man lost his breath. Everything happened so suddenly that they didn't have time to figure out the situation.
Min Jishu frowned, and said, "I was looking at these dead trees before, so I didn't pay attention to the situation here, but I seem to have caught a glimpse of something passing by."
Hearing Min Jishu's words, everyone present felt chills.
After finally getting out of the jungle maze that trapped them, who would have thought that someone would die as soon as they came out, and they didn't know how they died. This is what makes people scared.
For a moment, everyone looked at the strange environment around them and couldn't help becoming vigilant.
"Rip his clothes off."
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look, and when they found that it was Ning Yuzhou, the eyes of the cultivators in the Inner Sea flickered.
For Ning Yuzhou, their senses are very complicated. They feel that he is a cultivator in the early stage of the Yuanmai Realm, but he has such profound attainments in formations, but he is still a cultivator in the Central Continent. The Inner Sea has been different from the Central Continent. How happy A young genius array mage has emerged from the Central Continent
Therefore, none of these people responded to his words.
Duan Haoyan clicked his tongue, strode forward, flipped his hand over and took out a sword, and swung the long sword, cutting the man's clothes from the bloody lapel, revealing a bloody hole in his heart.
"Huh? His internal organs..."
Everyone looked over and found that the blood hole in the man's chest was empty, and all the organs in the human body were gone, and the blood around the blood hole turned thick black, emitting an unpleasant smell.
"how so?"
Ning Yuzhou walked over, inspected the corpse on the ground, took out a spirit dagger, and pressed the man's face, hands, etc. with the spirit dagger. The spirit dagger opened the bloody hole in the chest, inspected the surrounding wounds, and continued Picking up the blood stains in the blood hole with the dagger, he put it under his nose and sniffed it.
The others watched his movements and smelled the stench, and suddenly felt an urge to vomit.
Ning Yuzhou threw away the blood-stained dagger without changing his expression, stood up and took a step back, and said, "This wound should be caused by something like a sharp claw. The thing that killed him is highly poisonous. The poisonous tyrant Strong, likes to eat offal."
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously said: "Could it be a monster?"
Wentutu, who was lying on Wenqiao's shoulders as a ball of hair, bared its front teeth. It also has sharp claws, but it is a good rabbit and does not hurt innocent people. Don't rely on the monster for everything.
Wen Qiao patted its hairy tail and handed it a panacea.
Seeing this scene, those cultivators in the Inner Sea Region who looked over because of its bared fangs immediately envied and envied: They even gave a monster beast a top-quality elixir. In this world, humans are not as good as beasts!
Min Jishu asked: "Young Master Ning, is it really poison?"
"Well, I'm sure."
Ning Yuzhou's expression was indifferent, and he took out a palm-sized dried flower and put it under his nose to smell it. The dried flower exuded a clear and elegant floral fragrance, which instantly dispelled the stench around him.
When everyone saw this, they were stunned. They really thought that he was not afraid of the stench, but they didn't know that he was a poor and fastidious person.
At this moment, the corpse on the ground suddenly opened its eyes, jumped up with an agile movement, and rushed towards the nearest Ning Yuzhou.
"careful!"
Wen Qiao immediately grabbed Ning Yuzhou's waist and took him away from where he was. Tangtuan's Yishui, Duan Haoyan's fireball, and Min Jishu's ice-blue scaled knife greeted the exploding corpse one after another. .
The corpse was dismembered by ice-blue scales, and then burned to slag by different fires.
Seeing the corpse being burned to ashes, everyone was terrified and surprised at the same time.
"What happened just now?"
"Isn't he dead?"
"Could it be a fraudulent corpse?"
...
Min Jishu looked thoughtfully at the puddle of black blood left where the corpse was just now, and asked, "Young Master Ning, what do you think?"
Although Ning Yuzhou was the lowest among the people here, but for some reason, Min Jishu felt that it was right to ask him.
The others didn't think there was anything wrong, and when they heard what Min Jishu said, they all looked at Ning Yuzhou.
Protected by Wen Qiao, Ning Yuzhou slowly put the dried flower into a purse, and hung it on Wen Qiao's waist. After doing this, he looked at the crowd.
Everyone: "..." Confirmed, this person is indeed very particular.
Even Min Jishu, who has a beautiful appearance, is not as particular about him.
"In the situation just now, it should be that the corpse changed into a corpse-like existence, and would subconsciously attack nearby strangers." Ning Yuzhou explained that he was the closest to the corpse before, so he was the first to be attacked.
Everyone suddenly realized that this explanation was in line with the reaction of the corpse.
"The reason for the corpse change? Could it be related to the poison?" Min Shu asked.
Ning Yuzhou nodded, "It should be."
So what exactly was it that killed the man and left behind a highly poisonous substance? Is it really some kind of monster
Everyone looked at Ning Yuzhou, hoping he would give an answer.
Ning Yuzhou said bluntly: "You don't need to look at me, I don't know! There are thousands of poisonous things in this world, and I can't analyze what exists only from the poisonous blood. But what is certain is that Things must be living in this dry forest, everyone be careful."
Hearing this, most people's faces were a little ugly.
Being able to quietly kill a person and take out their internal organs shows that this thing is quite powerful, maybe they will be the next one to die.
The people present subconsciously became vigilant, and at the same time began to observe the surrounding environment.
They came out of the labyrinthine jungle. Looking behind them, it was still the silent jungle. This strange-looking dead tree grew on the edge of the jungle.
At this time, they were in this dry forest, looking forward, they could see the end, which showed that this dry forest was not big.
The trunk of every tree in the dead forest is curved, and the branches without leaves are also curved. The weird appearance, black color, and inexplicable atmosphere make people feel depressed for no reason.
The original happy mood of leaving the maze jungle disappeared, silence spread around, and the whole world was silent.
In this silence, suddenly a very slight voice sounded, which could even be ignored by people.
Min Jishu, Tang Shaolin and several Yuanling Realm practitioners shot at the same time.
The icy blue scales glowed with a soft but icy light, and flew towards the dead tree in front of them. Just as they were about to cut a dead tree, the icy blue scales turned around and flew towards another tree. Fly away from the tree.
"squeak-"
A sharp and ear-piercing cry resounded, and everyone felt a blur in front of their eyes. A black monster rushed towards where they were. When they subconsciously sacrificed their weapons, a water cage appeared out of thin air and enveloped the thing.
Then the water cage turned into a blister, enveloping the black monster and preventing it from escaping.
"Squeak—"
The monster trapped in the blister waved its skinny but sharp claws, trying to break through the blister, but the blister was woven by different water, so it couldn't be easily broken free.
Everyone walked over and looked at the monster trapped in the blister.
It looks very ugly, with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and a pair of big protruding eyes that are particularly scary. When you open your mouth to scream, you can see the sharp teeth that are covered with blue-black mucus. It looks like a newborn baby, but The whole body is covered with black scales, the limbs are thin and slender, and both hands and feet have sharp claws. The sharp claws can easily penetrate the skin of a cultivator and pull out his internal organs.
"What is this?"
Everyone looked at it in amazement, but couldn't recognize what kind of monster it was... Well, it was definitely not a kind of monster.
"Could it be that it killed Zhuo San just now?"
Zhuo San was the practitioner of the posthumous corpse transformation just now.
The color of the scales on this kind of human-shaped monster is the same as that of the surrounding dead trees. It hides in the dead trees and absorbs the breath from its body, making it difficult for people to detect its existence, and complains that it can suddenly attack.
The monster trapped in the strange water realized that he was trapped, let out a sharp cry, and frantically tore at the strange water bubble. Tang Shaolin, who controlled the water bubble, didn't notice it, and was almost escaped by it. He quickly increased the output of Yuanling power to maintain Blister stabilization.
"It's a mandrill ghost." Ning Yuzhou said, looking at the dead trees around him, "These are dead spirit trees."
Everyone looked at him in surprise, unable to digest his words for a while.
Ning Yuzhou ignored them, and said to Tang Shaolin, "Kill it."
Tang Shaolin didn't ask him why, and immediately controlled the strange water, entered the body of the mandrill ghost, exploded it, then pulled out the strange water, and Duan Haoyan threw a fireball at it, destroying the remaining flesh and blood.
The speed of the two of them was too fast, before the practitioners in the inner sea area could react, the mandrill ghost had been completely burned by the fire.
Min Jishu looked at Ning Yuzhou and asked, "Young Master Ning, why did you kill it?"
"This is a ghost derived from the Necromancer Tree. It has remembered our aura. If it is alive, it will never die. It will chase us to the ends of the earth, and even follow us out of the secret realm. At that time..."
It didn't take Ning Yuzhou to finish speaking, everyone already understood, and their faces turned blue.
Let such a thing hidden in the dark stare, will there be life in the future
Looking at these dead trees now, there is a hairy feeling.
After killing the mandrill ghost, everyone looked around and felt that this place was very unsafe, as if they suddenly came from a safe jungle to a dangerous place full of unknowns.
"Do you want to go from here?" Someone asked in a low voice.
Practitioners in the inner sea area all look to Min Jishu, regard him as the backbone, and he is the only one to look forward to.
After Min Jishu observed the surrounding environment, his beautiful face was composed. He suddenly remembered what Ning Yuzhou said when he broke the illusion of the jungle maze earlier.
He said: "I don't know what environment I will face after going out."
Thinking about it now, he should have expected at that time that after they left the jungle maze, they would not return to the place they entered, but another space, and the location could only depend on their luck.
Now it seems that this luck is neither good nor bad.
After Min Jishu figured it out, he said seriously, "Everyone, this place has left the jungle maze, but there are hidden dangers. If you don't want to take risks, you can go back to the jungle maze."
The choice Min Jishu gave them was very simple, retreat back to the jungle maze, or go forward.
If you go back to the jungle maze, there is no danger, but you will be trapped; but if you go down, you don't know what danger you will face.
The people on the Central Continent, because they all know each other, will soon make a decision.
"Of course I'll keep going." Duan Haoyan didn't change his arrogant character, "If you're afraid, why did you come to the Thousand Islands Secret Realm? There's no reason to retreat, there's only one way to go forward."
"Brother Duan is right, we think so too." The dumplings echoed.
Shui Liyin smiled and said, "I listen to Mr. Duan."
Wen Qiao also said: "I also choose to continue walking."
Ning Yuzhou smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."
Everyone's decision was unanimous, and they set off directly, ignoring the group of practitioners in the inner sea area.
Originally, they were not all the way. They were in the jungle maze before, because Min Jishu suggested that they would go together. Now that they have left the jungle maze, of course there is no need for that.
The withered forest is indeed not big, but within half a quarter of an hour, they had walked out of the withered forest.
The moment they walked out of the dead forest, everyone felt the change in the surrounding air, couldn't help frowning slightly, and looked forward.
Ahead is an open barren land, not a single blade of grass grows, and there is a faint gray mist in the distance, and the gray mist seems to be drifting here at a slow speed.
They looked back at the withered forest, and then at the barren land, and felt that the withered forest was like a dividing line, separating the jungle maze and the barren land into two diametrically opposed worlds.
"This place is so weird," Tang Yelin muttered, "The surrounding atmosphere is really unfriendly, it seems that there is something..."
Shui Liyin suddenly said, "It's evil spirit."
"Bad air?" The dumplings turned to look at her.
