Hidden Corpse Ridge, thousands of miles away from Amaterasu City, is one of the notorious and dangerous places in the Eastern Region.
Legend has it that this place is occupied by the undead, and the evil spirits and underworld are very strong, and various strange objects have been derived. Among them, there are some very dangerous things that even powerful people in the celestial realm are afraid of, so no one dares to risk their lives, for fear that they will never come back.
In the thick fog, Ye Ling panicked and didn't choose a route. He didn't know the dangers of this place, so he just ran forward to get rid of the pursuers behind him.
His consciousness was released, but suddenly his hair stood on end, and the air of death suddenly surrounded him, making people shudder.
Ye Ling immediately stopped, a faint edge appeared all over his body, isolating the evil spirits around him, and looked around. But all I saw was:
"Currently, there is a long black fog, and a cold wind blows in my ears. The forest is full of dead trees, most of which look like ghosts and demons. There are no birds or beasts in all directions, and there is no life at all. The cold wind passes through the forest, and there are all the sad and startling sounds. The thorns are thick and hidden, The demons are howling and weeping. Looking up, there is no spring grass growing in the dark mountains, and the evil mountains are clouded and cloudy. If there are wild souls in the demon caves, blood and blood are floating in the deep streams. It is true that there are evil spirits everywhere, how can we not distinguish between north and south?"
Ye Ling hurriedly took out a Qingxin Pill from the jade finger and put it into his mouth. This elixir was refined by Jiang Fan in the Demon Realm. It can temporarily protect the mind from being corroded by the surrounding evil spirits.
Moving forward, Ye Ling had a bad premonition in his heart. This place is clearly a dead place. The surrounding trees were as dry as firewood and seemed to have died, but they still stood as strong as ever. I don't know how they survived.
The entire mountain forest was filled with heavy fog, making it difficult to see things in the distance clearly, leaving only rough outlines. It was really frightening and I didn’t dare to move forward.
Ye Ling was exhausted both physically and mentally. He had not recovered his strength after escaping so far. He found a dead tree, sat cross-legged on a thick branch, closed his eyes and meditated.
The cold wind was raging in my ears, and there seemed to be endless sad sounds. Ye Ling's whole body was covered with a halo of light, isolating the inside and outside, and turned a deaf ear.
After about an hour, Ye Ling woke up leisurely and looked around, only to find that he had lost his way.
Looking up at the top of the head, it was dark and gray, with not even a hint of skylight visible. There seems to be some kind of restriction here, making it impossible to get in or out.
Ye Ling jumped to the ground. Since there was nothing to distinguish at this time, he had to take one step at a time, roughly looking for the way he came from, and then walked forward.
Along the way, there was no sign of a living being. The dead trees looked normal, but they became stranger and stranger as we walked. Ye Ling knew in his heart that he was lost. It may be difficult to escape from such a dangerous place.
At this moment, Ye Ling's consciousness swept over him, his expression changed, and he looked to his left.
In the thick fog, two groups of dark green light and shadow were floating side by side in the air, slowly approaching.
Ye Ling's body was restrained and he hurriedly hid behind a dead tree. Now for unknown reasons, he did not dare to act rashly, so he had to hide temporarily.
Not long after, the two groups of light and shadow came closer, but they were a white skeleton holding a spear. Two dark green will-o'-the-wisps at the eye holes were swaying gently, which was the light and shadow that Ye Ling noticed.
This skeleton is about the same size as a human being, and may have been transformed into a human corpse. There is a deathly aura surrounding it, which is eerie and terrifying.
The skeleton seemed to be quite sensitive to the energy of flesh and blood. When it came here, it paused for a moment, then looked at the dead tree in front of Ye Ling, roared, and threw out the spear in its hand, smashing the dead tree into pieces.
In the dust, Ye Ling stepped out and immediately took the wooden sword in his hand. The sound of the sword pierced the sky and fell on the skeleton.
"bass--"
The sword bones intersected, sparks flew everywhere, and it was difficult to shake even a little bit.
Ye Ling's expression changed slightly, he quickly put the sword in his hand, stepped aside, and looked coldly at the skeleton.
"This skeleton's physique is so powerful!"
Ye Ling saw that the skeleton only had the strength of the Huiling Realm, so he did not use his sharp edge. He only relied on his sword energy to fight against it, but he did not expect that the skeleton's body was so strong that it was not injured at all.
The skeleton roared, furious, and moved his skeletal hand forward, and the spear that had just flown out fell back into his hand. Then he rushed towards Ye Ling.
Ye Ling refused to dodge or retreat, the edge of his sword tore through the void, the wooden sword slashed forward, the sword energy flowing horizontally.
Before the skeleton could scream, it was cut into two pieces and fell to the ground. The dark green will-o'-the-wisps in its eyes gradually dissipated, announcing its death.
Ye Ling put the sword on his back and stepped forward to look at the skeletons on the ground: "Is this the evil thing here? I'm afraid there are more terrifying existences, so you need to be careful!"
Thinking of this, Ye Ling immediately turned around and left, hiding his aura as much as possible so as not to be noticed by others.
Not long after Ye Ling left, two figures fell next to the skeleton, it was Xu Mufeng and Yang Xige.
Yang Xige glanced at the skeletons on the ground and said solemnly: "It is Ye Ling who was injured by the sharp edge!"
Xu Mufeng glanced around: "It's a pity that this place seems to be restricted. Even if Ling Chen steps into the air, he can't see the scene in the distance and it's difficult to find it."
As he spoke, he casually produced a drop of water and nailed it to a dead tree nearby, like a gem inlaid.
"Don't be afraid," Yang Xige reached out and held a broken bone and said, "The warmth on the bone has not dissipated. He shouldn't have gone far yet. Hurry up and chase him!" After saying that, the two men immediately ran away to catch up without any delay.
Not long after the two of them left, Qiu Xinjun appeared here, glanced at the skeleton on the ground, and smiled. Then he struck out with his backhand, and the force of his palm shattered a dead tree nearby.
A drop of water on the tree trunk fell to the ground, turning into a little moisture and gradually disappearing.
"Now that you're in, don't even think about getting out again!"
After saying this, Qiu Xinwang disappeared into the fog.
…
It was so foggy that it was hard to tell whether it was day or night. Ye Ling just walked forward, hoping to escape from this area as soon as possible.
During this period, he encountered several skeletons and corpses wandering in the forest. Fortunately, he shielded his Qi machine and was not detected, saving him a lot of trouble.
Ye Ling discovered that these skeletons and zombies were not of high cultivation level. Most of them were between the Huiling Realm and Qingyou Realm. They had not developed spiritual intelligence and could only move with a little instinct, so they could be called walking zombies.
But when skeletons and zombies meet, they will inevitably fight to the death.
Ye Ling felt strange in his heart. After all, he was just starting out and knew very little about the five realms and the spirits of all races. Therefore, he didn't know the reason and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
While he was walking, suddenly an astonishing aura swept behind him. Ye Ling's expression changed and he turned around hastily. The wooden sword came out and slashed forward.
"boom--"
There was a violent collision, and the wooden sword flew back with a cry and hit Ye Ling, knocking down more than a dozen dead trees with him before he stopped.
Ye Ling knelt down on one knee, his dantian was shaking, his energy and blood were flowing backwards, his throat was sweet, blood spurted out, and he was seriously injured.
From the thick fog, a skeleton slowly walked out, but it was different from those encountered before. It was two feet tall, with red flames as eyes, and a bone staff in its hand, glowing faintly.
Ye Ling looked up and saw this skeleton:
"A skeleton remains alive in this world. The ghost's fiery eyes are cold and clear. A spring staff in the hand can send people to death."
Behind him, there were dozens of skeleton soldiers following.
This staff-wielding skeleton was surrounded by a faint black energy. It was so powerful that it actually had the cultivation level of the Immortal Realm. No wonder Ye Ling didn't notice it when he first appeared. By the time he noticed it, it was already too late.
Ye Ling smiled bitterly. He never thought that he would die here today. It was a pity that he would pass away without settling all the grievances.
The skeleton holding the staff did not rush to kill Ye Ling. Instead, he said: "Human race, why are you trespassing here?"
Ye Ling slowly sat up, covering his chest and said, "I was being chased and fled here. I didn't mean to offend, but I just lost my way and couldn't escape."
"My clan is in need of fresh blood and flesh as sacrifices, and since you are a monk, you can provide it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he made a move with the skeleton hand holding the staff, and an invisible force trapped Ye Ling and wanted to capture him in front of him.
Ye Ling gritted his teeth, and the sharp energy all over his body spread out. The wooden sword roared loudly, and the sword glowed like a rainbow!
"If you die, you will die. How can I be at your mercy!"
Ye Ling shouted loudly, and the edge of the sword covered his whole body, shattering the power of the skeleton holding the staff. Then the Heaven-Destroying Sword Technique burst out, and the wooden sword used the innate Gangqi as the edge, slashing forward, three times!
The three swords merged, and the sword energy broke through the confusion like a destructive force, stirred up the surrounding wind and clouds, and shocked the world!
Countless creatures in the distance sensed such a strong sword intent, and several streams of human energy and blood flew towards this direction without any delay.
The sword energy approached, and all the skeleton soldiers fled. The skeleton wielding the staff alone waved the staff, and the black energy filled the sky was extremely dim, as if swallowed by a black hole. The sword energy was actually included in it and disappeared.
Ye Ling had a stern look on his face. This sword was already his strongest weapon, but in the face of immortal cultivation, it was still like child's play.
"What's the point of fighting a trapped beast?"
The skeleton holding the staff once again stretched out its skeletal hand to catch Ye Ling, but suddenly hesitated for a moment and turned its head to look away.
Then he grabbed his hand into the fog and saw a figure flying out. It was Xue Jiu of the Star Source Sect: "What's going on?"
"It's a human race again, we should be punished!"
Before he finished speaking, the staff in the hand of the skeleton holding the staff shone brightly. He stabbed forward and penetrated Xue Jiu's chest.
Immediately afterwards, all the energy and blood in Xue Jiu's body disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a pile of dead bones and fell to the ground.
"Brother!"
When the other three disciples of Xingyuan Sect saw this scene, they were terrified and turned around and ran away.
"Be punished!"
With a wave of the skull-wielding cane, the black air filled the sky like clouds covering the sky, and the terrifying waves covered the top, directly covering the three monks.
Then the three people were heard screaming repeatedly, until there was no sound, the black energy gradually dissipated, leaving only three white bones on the ground.
The four Lingxu realm monks died in the blink of an eye, without the ability to fight back! Ye Ling subconsciously clenched the wooden sword in his hand, waiting for his turn.
But the staff-wielding skeleton didn't seem to want to kill Ye Ling. Instead, it reached out to grab it again. This time, it was Yang Xige of the Piaomiao Sect who was caught.
Yang Xige was inexplicably frightened. He had just seen people from the Xingyuan Sect die tragically, and was about to leave but it was too late.
"Asshole, let me go!"
Yang Xige's Dao power exploded all over his body, and a flying knife was thrown in front of him. The Dao rhyme circulated and the strong wind burst out.
"die!"
The flying knife struck at the skeleton holding the staff, but unexpectedly, the skeleton holding the staff refused to dodge. Even if the flying knife fell, it could hardly hurt him at all.
Yang Xige was pulled in front of him, and the skeleton holding the staff opened its bones and tore Yang Xige alive and bit it into pieces. It was too horrible to watch.
Ye Ling turned his head silently. Even though it was the person who wanted his life, he still couldn't bear to watch such a tragic scene.
Not long after, there were no bones left in Yang Xige. Just now, the skeletons of the three members of the Xingyuan Sect were pointed at by the skeleton holding the staff, and they slowly stood up. Like the other skeleton soldiers, they came towards Ye Ling to surround them.
The wooden sword in Ye Ling's hand kept trembling, and he stared at the surroundings warily.
At this moment, thunder suddenly flashed in the sky and the roar continued. The skeleton soldiers were all terrified and fled in all directions.
Ye Ling raised his head and looked up at the sky, only to see the thunder surrounding his body soaring into the sky, and the faint light of thunder, looking at the skeleton holding the staff.
The skeleton holding the staff also looked at him, seemingly angry: "The human thunder method must be killed!"
Lei Ming sneered, and several thunder snakes gradually appeared behind him, roaring and spinning in the void, seeming to be able to swoop in and attack at any time:
"Immortal skeleton, I, the purest and most powerful thunder in the world, am the nemesis of evil things like you!"
