This is Yan Xiao's lair, marked on the map as the "Forest of the Hanging Skull".
Those skulls hung silently on the trees, their empty eye sockets seeming to watch every visitor.
This silence, this hopelessness. It's been going on for hundreds of years.
The four of them dispersed.
Qing Qishu walked in the front holding a shield, his expression more serious than ever.
From now on he fulfills his responsibilities.
As a saint warrior, he must bear all dangers against the dragon god's messenger immediately.
For Jiang Wang and others, this is an adventure, a game of seeking gain amid danger.
But for the warriors of the Senhai Holy Clan, this is a fight against their unfortunate fate.
It is the distinction between darkness and light.
Qing Qishu didn't even bring his knife with him at all, just because he was afraid that he would hurt Yan Xiao by subconsciously fighting back, thereby touching Yan Xiao's resurrection conditions.
He had been attacked by hidden snakes so many times in the land of hidden snakes before, and he was in great pain, but he still never fought back. Just train for today.
This is the best opportunity for the Saint Clan in thousands of years, and perhaps the last chance. Before leaving, my aunt said this.
The Hidden Clothes he hid in his arms were filled with scraps of the Hidden Snake King's skin. The quality was second only to the one Jiang Wang made entirely from the Hidden Snake King's skin. Only this point was given to him by the old priest. A little bias.
The Forest of Hanging Skulls was very quiet, even though it was afternoon, it was as dead as night.
This silence... reminded Jiang Wang of the deathly silence he experienced when he first arrived in the Senhaiyuan Realm.
Is there any connection between that place and the Forest of Hanging Skulls?
At that time, he also heard the cry of Yan Xiao.
Leaves rustle under your feet.
"Don't be impatient." Jiang Wang reminded.
Su Qi pursed his lips, and really suppressed his body that couldn't help but push forward.
As Wu Quji walked, he pricked the passing trees with golden needles a few times.
"No toxins," he said.
Strangely peaceful.
The four of them moved forward cautiously, but did not encounter any attacks along the way.
The horror of the Forest of Hanging Skulls seems to be limited to its appearance.
Go forward, deeper into the Skull Forest.
The surrounding trees are like bare and straight wooden poles, with lush branches and leaves at the top.
At the connection point between the branches and the trunk, there hung those pale human skulls.
Qing Qishu's gaze swept across those skulls.
I didn’t look at it more, I didn’t dare to look at it more.
"If we fail today, it may be me or my child who hangs on this tree in the future," he said.
Jiang Wang looked at several skulls carefully and said nothing.
The field of vision suddenly widens.
The dense forest thinned out here, and a forest clearing appeared.
This should be the center of the entire Forest of Hanging Skulls.
Surprisingly, there is a small wooden house in this place.
Jiang Wang's hand was already on the hilt of his sword.
There is someone deep in the Skull Forest!
The wooden house is a very ordinary wooden house, ordinary, nothing special.
The door is open and you can see directly into the main room.
A wooden table and four benches.
Just like ordinary people.
There are also wooden bowls, chopsticks, and wooden dishes on the table.
It seemed like a family was having a meal.
But the dishes were empty and there was no one at the table.
Jiang Wang's gaze stopped outside the house.
Under the eaves of the wooden house, a swallow's nest hangs.
A swallow poked its little head out of the nest and looked at them.
That look...
With joy!
Probably too happy, it jumped lightly in the nest. Then everyone could see its whole picture clearly.
It is not as huge as other beasts in the Morihaiyuan world. On the contrary, its size is no different from its counterparts in the real world, and it appears to be very small.
It looks like an ordinary swallow, the only difference is that it has no tail.
Tailless swallow!
Su Qi's dagger was already held upside down in his hand, Jiang Wang silently made the seal, and Wu Quji grasped the golden needle...
The tailless swallow lowers its head and pecks at the edge of the nest.
Suddenly the world was spinning.
Jiang Wang came back to his senses, stood firm with all his strength, and looked up again. The world was different.
I heard a child-like voice cheering: "Welcome to my home!"
The dense lines under your feet are like straw mats, and there is no longer a sense of solidity on the ground.
Looking up at the sky, the sky is no longer visible, only a deep dark brown texture.
The talking tailless swallow was standing in front of him, but his size was not inferior to any of them. There was indeed a bloody opening on its left wing.
At the end of the field of vision, you can see the curved cross-section, which is also like a straw mat-like pattern, as if the earth has been rolled up by some force at the end.
Jiang Wang had a realization in his heart - have we been sucked into the bird's nest?
"Is this your home?" Su Qi stared at it: "A thing like you... actually has a home?"
He held his two daggers upside down and leaped forward.
There is really no need to chat with monsters like Yan Xiao.
Wu Quji casually laid out a few golden needles and surrounded them around him. With a flick of his finger, a golden light flashed sharply.
The tailless swallow only looked at Qing Qishu and said happily: "I have eaten enough this year, you don't have to come over!"
As he spoke, golden light appeared, forming a golden thread that entangled the tailless swallows.
Su Qi had already jumped over and stabbed Yan Xiao with both daggers. A dagger was pierced into its chest, a dagger was pierced into its torn wound, and it was stirred a few times.
The tailless swallow seemed stunned for a moment, wondering why these people would attack it.
But in the next moment.
It opened its mouth suddenly and let out a strange roar!
Cold, sharp, and frightening.
When the owl sings, it will eat hundreds of them.
The innocent and innocent eyes of a child turned into fierce and violent ones.
The golden thread on his body broke immediately!
Su Qi's movements were extremely fast, he abandoned his dagger and retreated, he was already far away in an instant.
But the swallow owl only flapped its wings, and it was already catching up, and the bird's beak pecked it.
Benedict!
A tough wooden shield blocked Yan Xiao's beak.
However, Qing Qishu arrived in time and blocked the attack with his Qingmu Shield.
It was too late for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.
Centered on the point where the green wood shield and the bird's beak were in contact, black color rapidly expanded and spread.
The color of the wood has withered, and the wooden shield has withered.
This wooden shield was in the place where the snake was hidden, and it blocked countless attacks without causing any damage.
In the past hunts, he had saved Qing Qishu countless times and never let him down.
Yet the scary thing is.
After receiving only one peck from the swallow owl, this treasure blessed by the Dragon God instantly lost its vitality!
The green wood rots and collapses at the first touch.
Qing Qishu's hand was no longer shielded.
His greatest reliance could not hold back a single breath.
Yan Xiao drove straight in.
Dang~
The sword tip of Sauvignon Blanc collides with the beak of Yan Xiao.
Jiang Wangliu Xing rushed towards him with a sword like the moon, and stopped the peck.
He has seen the horror of Yan Xiao's Beak. Although he is very confident in the quality of Sauvignon Blanc, he is also afraid that the sword will decay. Therefore, the tip of the sword is luxuriously coated with a layer of Dao Yuan.
Because of this, he clearly felt how quickly a cold force eroded these Daoyuan. Jiang Wang's control over Daoyuan had already reached a very subtle level, but the process of Daoyuan's collapse was so specific and so shocking to him!
What kind of power is this?
At this time, the three of them were entangled with Yan Xiao. Wu Quji, the only one who had not gotten close, had his golden thread broken by the shock. He was shaking his fingers wildly and shooting a golden needle quickly. However, each golden needle did not shoot towards Yan Xiao, but towards the surrounding ground.
Su Qi relied on his body skills to flip and turn in the air, and he had already landed on Yan Xiao's back. He held the hammer with both hands and struck it directly at the back of Yan Xiao's head.
Yan Xiao spreads his right wing.
Su Qi's "hammer" was instantly empty.
Yan Xiao has appeared in the sky behind him, lowering his head to peck!
puff!
Blood flew.
A slap blocked the bird's beak.
It's Qing Qishu's hand!
He kept his promise.
Even though the Aoki Shield was lost, the Dragon God's envoys still blocked the attack!
