Quiet.
This was Lin Ji's first impression of the dense jungle in front of him.
It was so quiet, so depressingly quiet.
Didn't it mean that the secret realm is full of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and there are monsters and beasts running rampant everywhere?
But Lin Ji's spiritual consciousness explored the surroundings and found that there were no monsters or even small animals, let alone monsters.
"This secret realm... seems different from what I thought."
Lin Ji took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the throbbing in his heart, and finally stepped into the jungle.
His feet stepped on the dead branches and leaves, making a crunching sound. This was the only sound he could hear in this jungle besides the chirping of insects and birds.
He was not unfamiliar with this situation. He had experienced a similar situation not long ago in the seal of the old madman.
But that was a ghost realm, a ghost realm where the ghost king in the seventh realm was out of control.
And here? This is the back mountain of Taiyimen. Even the Ghost King cannot make waves here.
What exactly is that?
With some cautious exploration, Lin Ji continued to move forward like a headless fly.
Click!
Suddenly, a very different crisp sound under his feet attracted Lin Ji's attention.
When he lowered his head and looked, it turned out to be a dry bone.
No wonder it is harder than dead branches.
The withered bones were so rotten that it was hard to tell whether they belonged to humans or monsters. Many insects and ants passed by without even stopping.
In the eyes of these insects, this bone has no value at all.
Lin Ji vaguely felt something was wrong. He bent down and gently pushed aside the fallen leaves next to the withered bones.
Sure enough, covered under the fallen leaves were the rest of the dead bones.
Just where Lin Ji removed it, the bones were seven or eight inches wide. As for how big they were, he couldn't tell clearly because they were buried deep underground.
Lin Ji did not explore the mood of this skeletal figure.
The palpitations in his heart had gradually turned into panic.
Although he didn't encounter anything, his sense of danger became even more acute.
There seemed to be a voice in the dark that kept calling in his ears, asking him to leave, asking him to retreat.
"I want to leave too, but where should I go?" Lin Ji murmured to himself.
If possible, he would certainly not be willing to risk his life.
He turned around, only to find that the dense forest was all the same, and he could no longer find the way he came.
Even the fifth level of consciousness is obscured by this dense forest.
Looking around, everything is the same, there is no difference.
"Is this happening to everyone, or is it just me?"
This was the biggest doubt in Lin Ji's mind at this moment.
He didn't know if this was part of the experience in this secret realm, or if something unexpected happened.
If it was the former, he should at least be able to save his life.
But if it's the latter...that's a problem.
With some cautious exploration, Lin Ji continued to move forward.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, there was finally movement ahead.
Those were the sounds of fighting, the roars of beasts and the shouts of human monks.
Hearing these voices, Lin Ji was really relieved.
Since entering this dense forest, he has been surrounded by incomparable depression. At this time, he urgently needs to communicate with others. Even if he is a stranger to the other party, having a living person next to him is like a headless fly alone. Wandering around.
Taking a few steps faster, Lin Ji quickly arrived at the place where the sound came from.
Ahead was a small open space, in which a tiger-shaped monster was fighting back and forth with a young monk.
Tigers roared frequently.
But there was no movement around.
It should obviously be the sound of tigers roaring in the forest, and the beasts scurrying about, and the birds frightened.
Lin Ji took a deep breath and stood aside quietly watching the battle.
But as he looked at it, he suddenly frowned slightly.
Because the man and the tiger in front of him are too powerful.
The monk seemed to be at the late stage of the fourth realm, and his attacks were unusually sharp.
The tiger demon was also in the fourth realm. After revealing its demon body, it was seven or eight meters long. While moving around, it had knocked down many surrounding trees.
What's even more strange is that Lin Ji didn't hide at all and just appeared next to him.
But neither the man nor the tiger paid attention to him.
If something went wrong, there must be a monster, and Lin Ji felt a little wary.
After a while, the young monk became more skilled. Taking advantage of the moment when the tiger demon leaped high and flew towards him, he slid his shovel to the bottom of the tiger demon and stabbed the tiger demon's stomach with one knife.
The tiger demon wailed and fell to the ground, lifeless.
The monk was breathing heavily, completely ignoring the blood on his body, and turned to look at Lin Ji.
"Brother, I've been watching for a long time. Are you planning to take advantage of others' danger?"
After his reminder, Lin Ji saw a spiritual grass growing under a huge rock not far away, which had already produced spiritual fruits.
Lin Ji didn't recognize the fruit, but it must be something good that could be protected by the tiger demon.
However, Lin Ji was not jealous. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, friends. I just came to see the excitement."
The monk nodded, stood up and walked towards the spirit fruit.
Lin Jize frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.
He subconsciously came to the body of the tiger demon and looked at it carefully.
The fur of this tiger demon is black, except for the word "王" on its forehead, which is a few tufts of white hair.
The patterns on the body are dim.
He is obviously dead, but he still carries a bit of majesty.
Lin Ji looked at the monk who had already started picking fruits. Looking at his back, he felt like he had seen him somewhere before.
Soon, the monk came back with the fruit.
Seeing Lin Ji staring at him, he handed over a piece of fruit.
"Tiger Eagle Fruit, the main ingredient of the fifth-grade elixir Tiger Eagle Pill, there are six in total. I will give one to my brother. Brother, don't make any more decisions."
Lin Ji didn't say anything, nor did he reach out to pick up the fruit.
"Have I seen you somewhere?"
There was a bit of surprise on the monk's face.
"Brother, why do you say this? I am sure that I have never met your brother."
Lin Ji shook his head. With the help of the Six Consciousness Returning Art, his spiritual consciousness detection was much sharper than the ordinary fifth level.
Therefore, Lin Ji just smiled noncommittally and drew out the Tiangang Sword again.
When the monk saw Lin Ji drawing his sword, his expression changed slightly and he said, "Brother, you want to kill someone and seize the treasure? Although I am injured, if brother really wants to take action, I am not afraid!"
"No, I didn't mean that."
Lin Ji shook his head, and his eyes turned to the tiger demon corpse on the ground.
The evil-slaying sword burst out with sword light, and Lin Ji slashed at the head of the tiger monster's corpse without hesitation.
Just when the sword was about to fall, the obviously dead tiger demon moved.
He opened his mouth and bit down on the edge of Lin Ji's sword, his eyes filled with anger and bloodlust.
Lin Ji was not surprised. He drew back his long sword, and sparks arose from the sword's edge and fangs.
Then, he took a few steps back and looked at the monk standing with the tiger demon.
"It's you, Feng Yu." Lin Ji grinned, "Let's call you Feng Yu, although I don't know who you are now."
