The sky was completely dark, the wind was blowing everywhere, and the Yin Qi was rampant.
The aura in the air seemed to be overwhelmingly crushed. The already thin aura made it very difficult for this group of practitioners to meditate and absorb it. Now the aura is gone, not to mention how depressed they are.
"Could it be that there will be no spiritual energy in this place in the future?" The only Yuanzong Realm practitioner at the scene couldn't help but said, looking at Ning Yuzhou and the others.
This Yuan Zongjing's name is Wu Jingping, he is tall and burly, with a simple and honest appearance.
However, in Hongyan Forest, there is no real simple and honest person. Judging from his actions, he seems to be a person who is simple on the outside and beautiful on the inside. He hesitated to lower his identity, willing to obey Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao's arrangements.
If it were placed on other continents, Wu Jingping's move might be ridiculed by others, but in Hongyan Forest, as long as he can survive, self-esteem is nothing, and even Yuanhuangjing can bow down to a little girl.
Seeing that Ning Yuzhou didn't speak, the practitioners could only take out the spirit stone in depression, absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stone, and replenish the spiritual power in their bodies as soon as possible.
They are not physical trainers, so they can't fight with their strong bodies alone.
Roar! !
An ear-piercing roar came from the wind, waking up the practitioner who was meditating again.
They were tense all over and looked out of the mountain gorge.
The night was dark, and there were vaguely agile shadows running rampant outside the valley. When I looked closely, it was clearly all kinds of ghosts.
Ghosts are also divided into types and strengths. For example, the ones they met in the woods during the day were not strong. It was just that when they first arrived, their bodies were eroded by Yin Qi, and they could not expel the Yin Qi in time, resulting in slow movements. The ghost was hurt.
There are many ghosts and monsters appearing in the valley, some are strong and some are weak. The powerful ghosts catch and devour the weak ones, or attack each other, taking out the ghost beads of each other and devouring them.
Night is when ghosts are most active.
It's normal to think about it, whether it's in the Human Cultivation Continent or in the Nether World, the yin energy at night is stronger than that of the day, and ghosts and ghosts practice with yin energy, so they naturally like to walk at night.
Everyone watched for a while, and found that those ghosts passed by countless times, ignoring where they were, and finally felt relieved.
The cultivators from the Red Rock Forest felt rejoicing. Fortunately, they met Ning Yuzhou and the other two, otherwise they would probably be attacked by ghosts at night, and it was unknown whether they would survive.
At this point, this group of people became more and more determined to follow Ning Yuzhou and the others.
After dawn, the darkness receded, and a gray light lit up on the horizon.
The daytime in the Netherworld is like the twilight, the gray sky and the hazy light are the brightest time of the day.
At this time, the yin energy has receded a lot, and the thin spiritual energy can be vaguely felt again.
This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"It seems that this place is not too evil, as long as it has aura." Someone said optimistically.
But more people are not optimistic. They don't even know why they were involved, so they can only take one step at a time.
Wen Yi also woke up and slowly got up.
The bones and flesh all over her body were aching, and when she stood up with the help of the mountain wall, beads of sweat were already dripping on her face, and against that pale face, she looked more weak and pitiful.
Wu Jingping came over and asked modestly, "Master Ning, Miss Wen, what should we do next?"
"Find out the situation of this place first." Ning Yuzhou glanced at the people around, and continued, "There should be other people, see if we can find more people and gather everyone together, then it will be easy to do things. "
"That's true." Wu Jingping agreed, "This place is full of ghosts and monsters. It looks like a ghostly place. It may be a secret place or something. If it's really a ghostly place, it's not good for us to cultivate. It's better to gather more. Some people are safer."
Others agreed.
Those who are not of my race must have a different mind. In a world where ghosts and monsters are rampant, of course it is more reliable to be of the same human cultivator, at least human cultivators will not treat them as food.
Wen Yi stood there, watching Ning Yuzhou talk to those people.
She was not surprised to find that Ning Yuzhou did not tell this group of people about her identity and the affairs of the Netherworld. She couldn't help but sarcastically curled her lower lip. She would rather believe that he had bigger plans, such as controlling herself to do things for them …
"Hey, can you go by yourself?"
After poking her with a finger, Wen Yi turned to look at Wen Qiao, looking dumbfounded, "I can't go."
Wen Qiao looked at her.
Wen Yi stared back blankly.
Then Wen Qiao said: "Okay, before you repay your kindness, we have to make do with it."
Ning Jichen came over and said, "Let me take her." Anyway, he was carrying an injured patient, and he could do this job himself, so he couldn't let his son do it.
Wen Yi turned her head to look at him, and said tactfully, "Young master, don't bother, just find a girl to carry me on your back, I'm willing to give you Lingshi..."
"Girl, don't mind, you are almost like my daughter-in-law in my eyes." Ning Jichen also said tactfully, "I'm an old man with a son and a daughter-in-law, and I won't take advantage of little girls."
Wen Yi: "..."
Wen Yi looked at Ning Jichen's youthful face, and then checked his bone age with the spirit detection technique, and couldn't help but say, "Master, I'm older than you."
"It's nothing, my mentality is relatively old." Ning Jichen said maturely and steadily.
Now Wen Yi really has nothing to say.
Everyone left the valley and continued on their way.
As expected, there were fewer ghosts during the daytime, although there were some that would come out to move around during the daytime, the number was not many, plus they were numerous and powerful, so it was easy to deal with them.
During the period, Wu Jingping tested Ning Yuzhou's identity.
Ning Yuzhou handled it well, and when Wu Jingping left, he had already decided in his heart that Ning Yuzhou and the others came from Xisen Heights, and he couldn't blame them for having so many good things on them. After all, Xisen Heights is rich in resources. It should be the disciples carefully cultivated by those famous schools.
As for why they appeared in the Red Rock Forest, there are only a few reasons: being framed by someone, or coming in to avoid disaster, after all, it is not their own brainstorm that broke in by mistake.
There are not many places to explore in one day. Before dark, they found a forest to rest. This is also because there are many injuries here, and there are still many people whose injuries are not fully healed.
Ning Yuzhou threw out the array and circled a safe place.
When night falls, it's time for ghosts to run rampant again.
Ning Jichen put Wen Yi in a blanket spread on the dry grass. Because her condition was really bad, she was treated the best. Other practitioners were not that particular, and just sat on the floor.
Wen Yi sat there in a daze, and then was poked again.
She turned her head to look at the person who poked her blankly, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wen Qiao looked at her and said, "Have you been in a daze all day?" It seemed that every time I looked over, I found that this person was in a daze, as if he might die at any time.
Wen Qiao has seen so many people, even when they are in a desperate situation, they desperately want to live. This is the first time that they don't take their own life seriously, and it doesn't matter if they die. I can't help being a little surprised .
"I'm not in a daze." Wen Yi said, "I'm just thinking about something."
Wen Qiao understands that thinking about things is like being in a daze.
She poked Wen Yi who looked dazed again, "Do you know anything about the Nether World? Is there a ghost city built by ghost cultivators in the Nether World?"
"I don't know, it's my first time here." Wen Yi said, "If I hadn't met a meteor dragon by chance, I wouldn't have been able to use its power to open the space tunnel. The power of my awakened bloodline is actually not strong. You need to find a medium to open it smoothly, the stronger the medium is, the easier it is to open the space tunnel."
There is no doubt that Meteor Dragon's strength is very strong, which is why she can successfully open the space tunnel in the Netherworld.
Wen Qiao boasted: "You are very powerful."
Wen Yi didn't say anything.
"Aside from going to the Netherworld, is there any other places I can go? Hey, can you open a passage in the Red Rock Forest so that people can go directly to Xishen Heights."
"!!!"
Wen Yi looked at her incredulously, this girl really thought that she wanted to use this method to leave the Red Rock Forest.
"It's possible, but there's no medium, and my body can't bear it." Wen Yi said calmly.
In fact, the price to pay for opening it once is too great, it may even be her life and longevity. Moreover, her lifespan happened to be running out soon, and she was going to die soon, so it was meaningless to say that.
"Then why do you want to open the space tunnel in the Netherworld?" Wen Qiao tilted her head to look at her.
Wen Yi remained silent again.
"Could it be because of that big brother Leng?" Wen Qiao guessed.
Wen Yi said dully, "No, not for him."
"what is that?"
"yes… "
Wen Yi came to her senses, and realized that she was almost probing her words out of her heart, so she turned around silently, expressing that she didn't want to talk to her.
Wen Qiao poked her again, which made Wen Yi lose her temper again, and sighed, "Miss Wen, don't ask, I really don't want to talk about it."
"Well, I won't tell anyone—telling my husband doesn't count."
Wen Yi: "..."
Ning Yuzhou grabbed a ghost bead to check, and Ning Jichen was there to help.
The father and son looked over at the same time, seeing Wen Qiao poking Wen Yi all the time, and seeing Wen Yi freeze every time she was poked, couldn't help being a little funny.
Ning Jichen asked in a low voice: "Yuzhou, is Miss Wen really short-lived?"
"Yes."
"You can't help it either?" Ning Jichen was a little surprised.
"No way." Ning Yuzhou said truthfully, "If she lost her life force due to injury, I can still heal her wounds and use the life-prolonging pill to renew her life. But she used the power of blood forcibly and opened it with Gou Chen Tianshu. The space tunnel, the force that violates the rules, this cannot be saved by artificial force, this is the price she has to pay."
When Ning Jichen heard this, he couldn't help sighing, "Since she knows that she will have to pay such a heavy price, why does she still have to do this?"
"Perhaps there is a reason why I have to do it." Ning Yuzhou said lightly.
The old father felt that there was something in his son's words, but he looked at his son and saw that he was concentrating on refining ghost beads, intending to refine them into simple explosive beads, so he didn't ask any more questions.
—
They didn't know where they landed. They explored the wild for half a month, killed countless ghosts, obtained a lot of ghost beads, and finally found the city built by ghosts.
When Wu Jingping came back from the investigation, he was very excited, "Mr. Ning, Miss Wen, there is a ghost town ahead!"
"Ghost town?"
Everyone rushed over and asked excitedly: "Senior Wu, what is the ghost town like?"
"Are there ghost cultivators inside?"
"How is ghost repair different from us?"
Wu Jingping raised his hand to signal them to be calm, "That ghost city was indeed built by ghost cultivators. I met two low-level ghost cultivators on the road earlier. I followed them all the way and heard from them that the ghost town ahead It's called Lu Ye City, and the town is occupied by a ghost king named Lu Ye."
"What is the strength of the ghost king?" Ning Yuzhou asked.
Wu Jingping said: "The strength of the ghost king is about the same as the Yuanhuang realm cultivated by us."
Ning Yuzhou recalled the hierarchy of ghost cultivators in the Netherworld, ghost soldiers, ghost messengers, ghost generals, ghost kings, ghost emperors, and ghost saints. The Ghost King corresponds to the Yuan Emperor Realm of Human Cultivation, the Ghost Emperor corresponds to the Yuan Emperor Realm, and the Ghost Saint corresponds to the Yuan Saint Realm.
As long as they don't confront the ghost emperor, they won't be afraid of those ghost cultivators.
There are quite a few cultivators who came in this time, and those who survived will not be too weak in strength, especially if there are several Yuanhuang Realm come in, if they can unite, human cultivators will not be too weak in the Nether Realm.
Wu Jingping hesitated to speak.
Ning Yuzhou came back to his senses, and said in a gentle voice, "Senior Wu, what else is there?"
Wu Jingping was in a complicated mood, and finally couldn't help expressing his guess: "Brother Ning, don't you feel that this place is not a secret place, but more like the legendary Netherworld?"
"..."
The scene was quiet, and everyone was staring at Wu Jingping.
Wen Yi, Wen Qiao and the others, who already knew the truth, were calm.
Ning Yuzhou said: "Whether it's the Netherworld or not, let's see the situation first." He thought about it in his mind, and said to Wu Jingping, "Senior Wu, please go find out about Lu Yecheng again."
Wu Jingping responded, and when he took some life-saving things from Ning Yuzhou, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Ning, you don't have to call me Senior Wu, if you don't mind, just call me brother next time."
Ning Yuzhou smiled, "Okay, I will trouble Brother Wu."
Wu Jingping was very happy. Although Brother Ning looked like a gentleman—a gentleman who can refine poison, he was also a straightforward person. Dealing with this kind of person is reassuring, and there is not so much nonsense. The cultivators in the Red Rock Forest fight a lot in order to survive, but they are also tired of these, and sometimes they prefer to be open-minded.
After Wu Jingping left, they waited in place.
Now that you know that the ghost city is just ahead, there is no need to rush there. The Nether Realm and the Human Cultivator Continent have lost contact for a long time, and if they appear rashly, it will attract the fear of the ghost cultivators, and they are now in the territory of the ghost cultivators. It's not good to repair, it's better to be more cautious.
Wu Jingping went for several hours before returning.
When he came back, his complexion was a little bad, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I just heard the news that half a month ago, when many people came out of the space tunnel, they happened to fall near Luye City and were killed by those ghosts." Xiu caught it."
Everyone was startled, as expected, Ghost Xiu and Renxiu were on opposite sides, thankfully they didn't rush over rashly.
"What's the reaction from Ghost City?" Ning Yuzhou asked.
Wu Jingping glanced at him. Ning Yuzhou's question was on point. "Lu Yecheng has sent ghost cultivators everywhere to look for human cultivators. Once they find them, they will immediately tie them back. Their goal is to fall into the dragon."
"Meteor dragon?" Ning Yuzhou understood after a while, "Ghost Xiu wants to use us to find the meteor dragon that entered the Nether Realm?"
"Yes, when Meteor Dragon entered the Netherworld, many ghost cultivators saw it. Later, it disappeared, and many ghost cultivators searched everywhere."
Ghost cultivators are also knowledgeable. The nether world here is equivalent to the lower realm of the Human Cultivation Continent. Originally, there were no gods and beasts. So when a meteor dragon suddenly appeared, even though the majesty of the dragon clan cannot be violated, the ghost cultivators were still very excited. The temptation of the dragon was too great. No ghost cultivator would not want it. They decided to look for the dragon one after another. .
When Ning Yuzhou was thinking, someone poked his lower back.
He looked up at the person who poked him, grabbed that hand, and asked softly, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
Wen Qiao said in a low voice: "Husband, do you think there are Wen Tutu and others among those captured by Ghost Xiu?"
"Probably not." Ning Yuzhou said pertinently, "Given the strength of Tutu and the others, it is not easy to catch him."
"Don't worry about Wen Tutu, but Shi Wuming is very unlucky..."
Ning Yuzhou laughed, and felt that her concerns were right, Shi Wuming was really unlucky, leaving him alone, no matter how good the conditions, could make him into a desperate situation.
