Extending from Lianshan City to the southwest, following the gradually gathering paths, you will enter a deep mountain forest that is rarely visited by people.
Following the direction given by Shen Wujiu, Zhang Yan first found the location where the monster's body was found by the Special Cases Department. There were some traces of the fight left in that forest, but as Shen Wujiu said, there were very few traces, so it was definitely not a fierce fight. The body was no longer visible, and the Special Cases Division took it away. Only sporadic blood stains could be seen on some tree trunks.
Regarding ghosts, Zhang Yan now honestly doesn't think he has anything to be afraid of. Before he entered the realm of returning to the gods, he could almost destroy a big ghost king with the thunder technique. Now that he has returned to the gods, the thunder technique alone is no longer limited to ordinary thunder, and he can restrain ghosts even more. If it were him now, he would never let that big ghost king escape again.
What Zhang Yan was curious about was the Dead Silence Dao itself. His understanding is that the so-called "Dead Silence Road" should be a special passage connecting to another space. And what are the restrictions and strangeness of this passage? Is it the same as those recorded in the classics at Longhu Mountain Gate, such as "Huanyang Road" or "Huangquan Road"? If not, how different is it?
Zhang Yan was the only one who came over. Shen Wujiu wanted to follow him. He had a look of death on his face, and he could be considered a ruthless person. But in the end, Zhang Yan dissuaded him. The reason is also very simple. Zhang Yan doesn't know what kind of situations he will encounter in the Deadly Silence Road. Shen Wujiu can regard death as home but he cannot ignore death. One more person will be more of a drag. He can communicate easily by himself. You can also be more flexible when encountering problems.
The reason why we rushed over so quickly was also due to the air control skills. Most of the journey had already passed by the time we landed, which could be regarded as avoiding possible troubles along the way.
After passing some monster species in the woods where corpses were laid out, Zhang Yan did not encounter anything strange or worthy of attention. Not even a ghost was seen.
"Is it because the Yang Qi is too strong during the day that it can't be hidden?"
Zhang Yan was worried that he would miss something valuable, so he stopped after walking for half a day. Instead of continuing to walk forward, I randomly found a tall-looking tree, jumped up, found a suitable tree branch, and lay down half on it. I closed my eyes and took a rest while waiting for the night to come.
For this trip, Zhang Yan also made some preparations, such as the Qi Condensation Talisman that he had always attached to his body. In this way, Zhang Yan would not be noticed from a distance because of the aura on his body.
As the night got darker, Zhang Yan stood on the canopy of a tree, hands behind his back, relying on his aerial skills to float a few feet above the forest in a leisurely manner. It didn't take long for him to slowly discover something special along the way. That is, even at night, there is almost no smell of birds and animals in the woods along the way. This is very unreasonable in such deep mountains.
Not only that, even if he was floating in the air several feet above the ground, Zhang Yan could clearly feel that the Yin Qi on the ground was slowly increasing in the direction he was going, and there was even a dynamic like "water flowing downwards" feel.
Can Yin Qi flow like water? It was also the first time to see Zhang Yan.
Although he saw something strange, Zhang Yan knew very well that this might be a special phenomenon that only occurs when approaching the path of death. Those Yin Qi that are slowly gathering towards one place like water must be inseparable from the existence of the dead path.
It was already past Haishi when I saw the first ghost. And when I saw it, I saw not one or two, but a group of nine ghosts. Among them were five spirit beasts, two spirit generals, and two spirit boys. The soul boy was chubby and plump and was surrounded by three soul feeders. The whole thing looked like a group of people driving their cattle home.
If it had been any other time, Zhang Yan would have taken the first action, beaten these ghosts to half-mutilation, and then happily saved them, replacing them with the merit and spiritual energy he needed. But the current time and place are not suitable for him to do so.
So Zhang Yan did not take action, but continued to float above these ghosts, following them all the way with the convenience of shielding them with the Qi Condensing Talisman.
The ghost's footsteps were very fast. Just after Haishi, it had entered the core area that Shen Wujiu had marked on the map before. And on the way, two more groups of ghosts gathered from other directions. The ghosts below suddenly grew several times larger, and they seemed to be full of ghosts as they drifted through the mountains and forests.
By this time, Zhang Yan felt the signs of gathering Yin Qi becoming even more obvious.
When the first ghost king appeared, he was in a valley full of strange rocks and ghost trees. The temperature here has almost plummeted. Through the moonlight, you can see that the Yin Qi that is visible to the naked eye has spread a thin layer on the ground like a blanket.
Yin energy accumulates, like a hole in a low place, gathering in a circle, and the center is extremely yin.
Zhang Yan quietly hid in the crown of a strangely shaped ghost tree, his breath concealed, relying on his senses to carefully observe every odd inch of the valley in front of him.
Needless to say, the ghosts here are not too much to describe with the word "lively". There are three ghost kings and nearly a hundred other ghosts. This is the first time Zhang Yan has seen the largest group of ghosts at the same time.
No matter how carefully you look at it, you will see that these ghost groups are not in disarray, but are performing their duties in an orderly manner. The three ghost kings commanded a group of ghosts to count the ghosts gathered from all aspects, mainly the ghost children. In the end, it seemed that they would be registered before they were released.
Those released souls will take the soul boy into a cave surrounded by huge rocks in the valley.
"Is that the interconnection node of space?" Zhang Yan guessed in his heart.
Zhang Yan came to a conclusion in his mind. This place should be the location of a dead road as he guessed. The entrance to the Dead Silence Road is the cave surrounded by huge rocks.
I have to say that if this is the Dead Path as Zhang Yan expected, then it would be much simpler than the "Huanyang Road" and "Huangquan Road" recorded in the Longhu Mountain Gate's classics. It should be a natural structure belonging to the heaven and earth, not a passage created by the ghosts themselves.
"No wonder Bai Yu said that the demon clan can also launch a counterattack against the holy domain. This kind of passage is made of heaven and earth, and there are no restrictions on entry and exit. As long as you can resist the yin and yang reversal and space torsion when crossing the passage, you can naturally go in and out. ." Zhang Yan came to a conclusion in his mind. At the same time, I also understand why the human race’s deathly path has no choice. First of all, the body and soul itself are inferior to the demon clan, and they do not have the ability of swallowing beasts to look directly at ghosts. Not only can they not determine the precise location of the dead path, they can't withstand the torque and yin and yang in this space channel. Upside down pull. Even entering the so-called holy realm has to endure the extreme Yin Qi environment, which almost eliminates the possibility of human counterattack.
However, even if there were powerful monsters, Zhang Yan didn't think that many of them would be able to counterattack into the so-called holy realm. It's one thing to be able to withstand an extremely gloomy environment, but it's another thing to retain your strength and fight your way in and out of it.
