Today, this forest is too quiet.
Since entering it, not only have they not encountered a monster, there is not even a sound around them, leaving only the shadows of various winding branches.
It was quiet all around, with no movement at all, as if they had entered a country where they slept forever.
Outside the flames, where the light cannot reach, everything, no matter what it is, seems to have fallen into a long sleep.
"We have been here countless times. In this fringe area, even though there are all kinds of strange phenomena, it is also filled with all kinds of monsters..."
Zhou Bao’s face was solemn and he said in a deep voice:
"But this scene now makes me feel like I'm deep in the Evernight Forest..."
"In that case, let's get out of here first!"
Yang Qingping said without hesitation.
Since something is wrong, running away immediately is the best way to go.
On this continent, those who can live a long time, even if they are just suspicious, will choose to escape without hesitation.
After all, if you were not careful, or if you thought too much but did nothing, you would have died long ago!
"You are right." Zhou Bao gritted his teeth and looked at everyone, "The situation is not right now. Leave here first."
The trial can be carried out at any time, but he only has one life. He can't just hold on here and say that it doesn't matter and continue.
The young men were trembling in their hearts, but the strange silence around them also made them tremble, not to mention that they wanted to leave here for a long time.
"Follow up!"
Zhou Bao took the lead and immediately rushed to the outside, and everyone quickly followed.
'Damn, you can't be so unlucky, can you? Something happened the first time I came...'
Luo Xuan, who was following the team, couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Originally, he had discussed with his grandfather to use this trial to find the remains of various monsters, and then use some method to resist their backlash, forcibly skipping the stage of transformation of the Three Treasures, and practice taking food to maintain health.
Although it is extremely risky to forcefully jump to the realm, this path is inherently a heretical one. As long as you can survive it, even if there is a problem with the physical body, you can still feed back the soul and perform corpse dismemberment!
As long as he has cultivated to the realm of Yin Shen's out-of-body experience, he will have enough ability to protect himself without touching the forbidden land of this continent, and he can escape and return to Lingyuan Island without having to suffer this danger.
But I didn't expect that something would happen during the first trial.
'That's all, I can only find another opportunity... huh? ! '
Luo Xuan, who was sighing secretly, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Because he suddenly saw the shadow of a person walking on the edge of the team suddenly disappearing in half!
Then, the black-faced boy whose shadow disappeared half sank, and the ground under his feet instantly turned into a pool of mud exuding a strong stench.
Immediately afterwards, he fell completely!
"ah!!!"
In a short time, screams rang out in the venue, attracting everyone's attention.
"No! It's a swamp of grotesque corpses!"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Bao's expression suddenly changed.
Yang Qingping's expression also changed, and he said in shock:
"This is just the edge of the Evernight Forest, how can something weird happen? Even the weakest existence!"
"I can't control that much now, save people!"
Zhou Bao's face was gloomy, and he took out a rope made of flesh and blood from the bone bracelet in his hand without hesitation.
The bone bracelet is similar to the storage bag in the world of immortality.
He stretched out his hand and threw it, and the rope of flesh and blood flew out immediately, as if it had life, and immediately wrapped around the young man who was trapped in the swamp of corpses.
This corpse swamp is a kind of weird one. Even if it is the weakest one, Zhou Bao does not dare to approach it personally, so he can only rescue it through this method.
The flesh-and-blood rope was tightly wrapped around the black-faced boy. Luo Bao pulled hard, and the latter quickly lifted up.
At the same time, after the initial panic, the black-faced boy gritted his teeth and activated the power of the secret medicine in his body.
In an instant, the hair on the body surface grew, and a huge force surged out of the body. He struggled together, and then he climbed out of the swamp along the flesh and blood rope.
"Phew—fortunately there was no danger."
Looking at this scene, Luo Xuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
The sudden attack scared him. Fortunately, there was a solution, otherwise if he fell into it next time, it would be over.
But at this moment, Lin Chen's reminder suddenly sounded in his mind:
"Boy, stay back!"
"Um?!"
Luo Xuan was stunned when he heard this, but then quickly backed away without hesitation.
Although he didn't know exactly what happened, he knew that the old man in his mind was definitely not doing meaningless things for no purpose!
Sure enough, the moment he left and stepped back, a sudden change occurred.
"Gulu, Gulu——"
At this moment, the corpse swamp under the black-faced boy suddenly felt like boiling hot water and made a strange sound.
The cold muddy water squeezed out from the mud, and in this sticky swamp mixed with muddy water, dead faces emerged one after another.
These are dead bodies buried deep in the swamp!
Some of them are human-shaped, some are strange-shaped, and some are even just a ball of things, but without exception, their bodies are covered with layers of silt.
These are the corpses buried deep inside the swamp, and they all floated up at this moment!
Then, these corpses, which were obviously long dead, started to move.
Some corpses seemed to have taken a nap, and now they turned over after waking up.
Some opened their eyes directly, and their eye sockets were filled with rancid sludge.
Some simply raised the corners of their mouths slightly, showing an indescribable evil nature.
They stretched out their muddy hands, grabbed the black-faced boy tightly, and exerted force like a water ghost dragging a person into the water. They used their own weight to pull him down hard.
But this is not the most terrifying thing for Luo Xuan.
The most bizarre thing is that at the moment when these corpses revived, illusory ghosts appeared around the swamp, but they were exactly the same as the corpses in the lake.
They all stretched out their pale, illusory but muddy hands and pulled the three young men nearby.
Suddenly, the hard ground beneath their feet turned into a ball of rancid mud, and they sank half of their bodies in an instant!
This is...the Earthbound Spirit!
"this……!"
The sudden change shocked everyone present, and a look of fear appeared on Luo Xuan's face.
Because if the old man in his mind hadn’t reminded him in time, the young man sinking in the corpse swamp would have had his share!
"Walk!"
Zhou Bao's expression changed drastically and he led his team to retreat without hesitation.
The current situation has exceeded his expectations. If he continues to hesitate, I am afraid that all of them will be buried here!
"No! No! No! Don't go, save me!"
"Sir, help!"
"If you don't save me, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
The screams, wails, and curses echoed in the forest. The remaining people turned pale when they heard it, but they ran outside without hesitation.
After all, dead Taoist friends are not dead Taoists. In this cruel world, they have no idea of sacrificing themselves to save others!
Soon, the voices behind them began to gradually fade away, and everyone came to another area.
"No! There is definitely something wrong today!"
Zhou Bao, who had just led the team to escape from danger, breathed a sigh of relief, but then said with a gloomy face.
"Not only is it eerily quiet, all the monsters from the past are nowhere to be seen, there are also weird things like corpse swamps that can only appear if you go deep into the Evernight Forest!"
"Isn't this forest starting to...expand?"
As soon as this guess came out, the expressions of the two people changed drastically.
"No, I have to leave here as soon as possible..."
However, before the two of them finished speaking, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed a lot.
Everyone present suddenly felt a chill in their bodies, as if they were being targeted by something terrifying. The premonition of the shadow of death that covered the sky surged into everyone's mind like a tide.
But the strange thing is that no one noticed anything was wrong, they just felt that a monster called death was coming!
"Grandpa!"
Feeling the crisis of life and death, Luo Xuan screamed crazily in his heart, directly waking up Lin Chen who was continuing to understand the essence of the power of the Evernight Forest.
"Huh?" Lin Chen, who had just come back to his senses, couldn't help but be startled, "It's just a little guy, why is it roaring so loudly?"
brat? !
Grandpa, that’s your little cutie, not ours!
Luo Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then he reacted, his face looked anxious, and he said quickly in his mind.
But the next moment, when no one in the venue could react, another change happened.
Because the surrounding light suddenly disappeared, the night enveloped them silently.
It was as if a sinister wind had just blown in, and the burning lamp shrouded in white bones was extinguished at this moment.
