The center of the Deadly Swamp is this piece of flat land. Here, unexpectedly, there are no endless swamps and muddy silts. Instead, the land is flat. Although it is not particularly dry, it is much better than the humidity outside.
The peculiarity of Jueyin Flatland comes from the gray dark clouds that persist all year round, making the sun, moon and stars invisible here all year round. It is precisely for this reason that Jueyin Pingdi is filled with extremely heavy Yin energy, making people feel extremely uncomfortable when entering for the first time.
Although it is not cold here, the ubiquitous Yin Qi will still make people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts, as if they are in an alien world surrounded by evil spirits, which is creepy. When Chen Fan first entered the Jueyin Plain, he frowned. He felt an indescribable discomfort.
Standing on the slightly shady land, Chen Fan looked around and found various strange plants growing around him. These plants are not tall, the tallest is only five or six meters, but they have strange shapes. The flowers produced by many plants also appear pale and lack rich color.
In this strange patch of plants, some flowers look like ghost faces, which is horrifying. People feel deeply uneasy among them, as if those plants will suddenly come alive and take a bite.
"The Yin Qi here is very strong, and the plants growing here are also very different from normal. Some plants can even absorb Yin Qi and corpse Qi. Once they smell the breath of a living person, they will wrap around them crazily, preventing people from dying."
Zhaoqi's face was as heavy as water, looking at the various plants in the Jueyin Plain, and said: "In addition, we must beware of the monsters here. These monsters are full of disgust for strangers, and will go crazy once they find someone intruding. Attack, most warriors would rather take risks in the peripheral swamps than dare to step here."
"Sisisi!"
Suddenly, long silver-white snakes jumped out from the plants. These long snakes are about three meters long, with cone-shaped heads and tails drawing circles on the ground. Their small soybean-like eyes flash with a fascinating cold light.
Dozens of long snakes swam out, actually knowing how to spread out, and gradually surrounded Chen Fan and his party from all directions.
"Level 2 monster, Corpse Earth Snake." Zhaoqi shouted coldly and suddenly stomped on the ground.
A strange circle of ripples rippled out from under his feet. With him as the center, the ripples spread in a ring and spread rapidly in all directions.
"Snapped!"
Wherever the ripples passed, dozens of second-level demonic beasts, corpse earth snakes, exploded one after another, with brown snake blood splattering everywhere.
"I hate snakes the most!" Zhaqi snorted coldly, showing a look of disgust, and turned back to Chixiao and said: "Before meeting the Yamata-no-Orochi, I will solve the obstacles on the road, and it will be my bargaining chip to participate in Tianmen. "
Chi Xiao nodded and said calmly: "You are familiar with this place, just lead the way."
Zhaoqi walked forward without hesitation, and traces of the strange green poisonous miasma on his body quietly dispersed.
The plants on the Jueyin Plain shrank as if in fear after coming into contact with the poisonous miasma on his body.
The plant that was originally about three meters high shrunk to one meter after Zhaqi walked by, which was obviously one size smaller.
Chen Fan looked at this scene in surprise. Every time he passed those plants, he observed them carefully. He found that wherever Jaqi passed by, the surrounding plants would become docile. However, when he left Juqi's route and walked a few meters forward, the originally docile plants suddenly became ferocious, as if they wanted to entangle him until death.
"Young man, if you want to live, you'd better follow me." Zhao Qi stopped in front, turned back to look at Chen Fan coldly, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't understand, why do you want to enter the Jueyin Plains when you know you are going to do so? Carrying two burdens, do you want to sacrifice at the critical moment..."
The burdens that Zhao Qi mentioned were obviously Chen Fan and Zuo Shi. Their cultivation levels were the lowest and they both only had the Qi Condensation realm.
Chen Fan looked calm and ignored Zhao Qi's mutterings.
But Zuo Shi was dissatisfied and muttered: "What are you mumbling about? You sound like everyone is a burden. If you don't want to go with us, just leave early. It's not like I can't live without you."
"Little girl, who do you think is the loach?" The dark green scales on Zhao Qi's face trembled slightly, and he looked at Zuo Shi fiercely, "Tell me again!"
"Okay." Chixiao frowned and scolded Zuo Shi: "Zhaoqi is the elder, so don't be so insignificant, okay? If it hadn't been for Zhaoqi on this journey, we wouldn't have been so smooth."
Chixiao turned to Zhaoqi again and said, "You guy, why can't you get rid of your bad mouth? If you didn't have a bad mouth, I wouldn't fight you, but now you have the same old habit again?"
Zhao Qi glared at Zuo Shi, the scales on his face trembled, and he stopped talking.
Zuo Shi originally wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks to him, but was glared at by Chi Xiao, so she puffed out her mouth and stopped talking.
Xia Xinyan stood quietly to the left of Chi Xiao and others. She did not speak, her expression was cold, and she neither paid attention to Zhao Qi nor communicated with Chi Xiao.
Her eyes fell on Chen Fan from time to time, and her eyes were complicated, making it difficult for people to understand what she was thinking.
She hadn't said a word to Chen Fan since she came out of the swamp that day.
Chen Fan was also very sensible and did not take the initiative to get close to her.
What happened between them confused Chi Xiao, Zuo Shi and the others, but everyone pretended not to know and no one took the initiative to ask.
"Follow me carefully, and if you want to live, don't cause trouble!" Zhao Qi snorted and looked at Chen Fan specifically.
Chen Fan looked calm and completely ignored his presence.
In this tense atmosphere, Chi Xiao suddenly frowned, with a doubtful look in his eyes.
"What happened?" Xia Xinyan was keenly aware of Chi Xiao's abnormality and asked hurriedly.
"I don't know either." Chi Xiao shook his head and said calmly: "I suddenly felt a strange aura just now, but it disappeared quickly. I don't know if it was my imagination."
Hearing this, everyone felt a little nervous. Zhaoqi guessed: "Could it be the master of merging the sky who appeared?"
"I don't know about this." Chi Xiao shook his head again, his expression becoming more serious.
Chi Xiao's reaction cast a shadow over everyone's hearts, and everyone couldn't help but be more vigilant.
…
Among the dense leaves of plants, in a dark and flat place, a middle-aged scribe with a pale face and a tall and thin body stood silently.
Thirty-five warriors with equally pale faces and indifferent expressions gathered around him. One of the young men was only in his twenties. He had waist-length hair, handsome appearance, and an evil temperament.
"Master, what did you find?" the young man asked curiously.
"The target should have entered the Jueyin Plain. I just detected it with my spiritual consciousness, and there was a spiritual response from there immediately." The pale middle-aged scribe replied.
"Could it be from the Nangong family?" the young man asked.
"No, Nangong Shang has arrived early."
"Then why hasn't he come to us yet?"
"The target has appeared, and Nangong Shang should be looking for him soon."
…
One day later, in a desolate valley, Nangong Shang appeared alone in front of this group of people, his body filled with an icy aura.
"The master of the Ghost Hall?" Nangong Shang respectfully clasped his fists at the middle-aged scribe, "I don't know how to call him?"
"Congratulations Zhou." The master of the Ghost Hall replied calmly, "I have heard about the name of the head of the Nangong family for a long time, and when I saw him today, he is indeed well-deserved."
Nangong Shang raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "Brother Zhou is famous far and wide. The Ghost Hall can dominate the Huorong Empire, which shows that Brother Zhou is a great talent in the world. I hope I can cooperate with Brother Zhou this time. Everyone can be happy.”
Zhou He frowned and asked, "Where is that girl from the Mu family?"
"After this Tianmen exploration is over, I will personally bring her to you." Nangong Shang glanced at the people in the Ghost Hall and asked doubtfully: "Brother Zhou, why did you bring so many people? Aren't you afraid of being discovered? What?"
"My Ghost Hall is good at concealing traces. Brother Nangong doesn't have to worry about this." Zhou He responded with a smile.
"Okay." Nangong Shang nodded to express his understanding, and then said: "The opponent has appeared, and the target should be in the Jueyin Valley in the Jueyin Plain. If there is an accident, I hope Brother Zhou can help. However, I don't want Zhou to help. Brother, please reveal your identity so quickly, otherwise Mu Ge will definitely become resistant."
"She's just a little girl whose family has been ruined. Brother Nangong, do you need to care?" A trace of contempt flashed in Zhou He's eyes, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I don't care about Mu Ge, but the girl next to her interests me a lot. The martial spirit in her body is of great use value to my Nangong family, so I can't let her notice that I handed Mu Ge to you. . Otherwise, she may hinder my subsequent plans."
"No problem. I didn't hide my identity this time just to cooperate with Brother Nangong. As the master of the Ghost Hall, I always show my true face to others. That girl from the Mu family has never seen me and will never recognize me. Brother Nangong You can rest assured.”
"That's great. We will meet again in Jueyin Valley. I will contact you with my spiritual consciousness then. I hope Brother Zhou will not disappoint me."
Having said that, Nangong Shang walked away, his figure turning into a wisp of cold air among the dense leaves and gradually disappearing into the air.
"Master, Nangong is deeply sad and secretive. We must be more careful during this Tianmen exploration. This person is definitely not a good person."
"It doesn't matter, your master wife is also observing secretly. If there is a valuable treasure in Tianmen this time, it will definitely belong to our Ghost Palace!"
"Master's wife is here too?" The young man with an enchanting temperament exclaimed.
"Yes, she has arrived at Jueyin Valley a long time ago. With your master's wife's ability to conceal her aura, as long as she does not take the initiative to show up, no one in this Jueyin Plain will be able to detect her presence!"
"Haha, it seems that we have a winning chance in this Tianmen exploration."
"That's right."
