"boom"
"Woohoo! Woohoo!"
"squeak!!"
Yuanmu Forest is located in the center.
The macaque miasma filled the air and made it hazy.
But there was no calm in the mist. From time to time, the shadows of trees dozens of feet tall fell down, sometimes mixed with the shrill cries of apes.
In the depths of this supposedly silent and peaceful forest, a song of murder is rising.
"puff!"
As the last tall green-faced ape corpse fell from a height, tranquility finally returned to the forest.
"Da da da."
There was a sound of footsteps, and a middle-aged man, wrapped tightly in black robes and with a pale and gloomy face, slowly walked up to the bloody ape corpse, holding a clean and shiny bone knife.
Suddenly, he slowly inserted the bone knife into his thigh. There was already a gap in his pants that matched the width of the bone knife.
The bone knife quickly penetrated into the thigh, but it did not cut through the flesh and blood as expected.
It didn't come out from the other end. As if melting, the bone knife slowly blended into the dark skin of the thigh.
Finally, the bone knife disappeared completely, and a black sunflower pattern vaguely flashed through the gap exposed by the thigh clothes, and then slowly faded away.
Lifting the corpse of the tall green-faced ape that had been chopped into two halves with each hand, the gloomy and fair-skinned middle-aged man slowly walked deeper into the fog.
As the man went deeper, the macaque miasma became thicker and thicker, gradually taking on a colorful and strange color.
An abnormal blush appeared on his face, and when the green ape corpse he was holding in his hand came into contact with the colorful miasma, its white hair gradually turned black, and it seemed to begin to slowly rot.
The man walked for a while before stopping, and then threw the ape corpse forward.
There was no sound of falling to the ground right away. There seemed to be a big pit ahead, and the ape corpse cut through the thick miasma and fell into it.
You can vaguely see the angry eyes of the green-faced ape before it died, filled with human anger, hatred and... fear.
After a few breaths, the body landed somewhere with a thud.
Its blood-red eyes were still glaring forward angrily, and following its line of sight, through the scratched trace of the dense miasma, one could vaguely see a corner of this big pit:
Countless green-faced ape corpses like it, with dull eyes engraved with despair, rotted silently in this deep pit.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Green-faced ape corpses were thrown down one after another, and the macaque miasma in the forest seemed to be getting thicker.
The man finished all this quickly, and then ran out. When he reached a place where the miasma was no longer stained, he breathed for a while, and his abnormally rosy complexion returned to a trace.
"well done."
Some soft voices came from the shadow of the tree, and a shadow-covered arm slowly poked out from the shadow of the tree and touched the fair face of the middle-aged gloomy man.
"Hiss~"
A mask was torn off from his face, and following the arm that tore off the mask, another man emerged from the shadows. He was also tightly wrapped in a black robe, with a slightly handsome face and thin lips.
Then, he put the mask on his face, and the facial features on it changed for a while, and finally settled on the face of a very handsome young man.
"Huh~" He took a deep breath, as if he dared to take a big breath now.
After the face of the original gloomy middle-aged man opposite was peeled off, what was revealed was a slightly dark and rough face, like a young man who grew up in a farm family. He frowned and glanced at the other person, and it seemed that he was starting to have difficulty breathing.
He took out a few antidote pills from the black storage bag and poured them into his mouth, then pulled up the black cloth around his neck and covered the corners of his mouth.
"Hmph, are you dissatisfied?" The handsome man after the transformation saw the other party's slightly frowning and scolded him in a low voice: "Sir Mako is not here. According to Xuan Kui, I should be in charge of this place."
"Don't say that I have a good heart and lent you the Thousand Faces to deal with the miasma. Even if I don't lend it to you, you have to go even if I ask you to go!"
After the swarthy man swallowed the medicine, he felt that the dizziness in the miasma was better. He bowed his head with his hands, hiding the cold look in his eyes, and whispered: "Don't dare!"
"Hmph, it's good to know." The handsome man's stern expression slowly faded, and he asked with a smile: "How is the growth of the Ghost Fruit?"
"The mottled miasma is too thick to see clearly, but we have been pouring green-faced ape corpses into it continuously, and the group of green-faced apes nearby has become much smaller."
"Haha, if there are less monkeys, let's search other places in the forest. How can a mere first-order monster stop you? I just went to the edge of the fog to take a look. In another two or three days, the entire ape forest will be blocked by miasma. . According to this calculation, it will only take five or six days, and the ghost phase fruit will be mature."
"When I ask you to go down to the Ten Thousand Monkey Pit to pick the Ghost Fruit, will you go?" The handsome man said uncertainly with a smile.
The Ten Thousand Monkeys' Pit is the place where the miasma is thickest, and there are also ghost-like fruits growing there. Even if the Thousand-Looking Face can alleviate the poisonous gas, it will probably be a disaster if it goes down.
The swarthy man raised his head instantly, and the two of them looked directly at each other.
The smell of gunpowder in the air is imminent.
"Hahaha." The handsome man suddenly laughed, "At first glance, you are not a loyal person."
"Don't worry, when I went to the edge of the forest to investigate just now, I happened to find a few big white sheep from the Purple Jade Sect. One of them was around the ninth level of Qi training. We also have two Xuan Kui seeds on us. I will control her to do it for me. Go pick it.”
"Is there going to be an accident? You and I are only at the eighth level of Qi training, and we are still injured. If there is a delay in responding to Master Mako..."
"Hmph, if Master Zhenzi hadn't insisted on taking the Zihe chariot to refine the medicine, which alerted the Purple Jade Sect, we would have been hiding here like lost dogs? Not to mention, when I take the ghost fruit, I will be the new Zhenzi !
When the time comes, Mai, you will be the number one faker under my command. "The handsome man glanced at the dark-skinned man with warning eyes:
"As for that person in the late stage of Qi training, haha, didn't I say that we still have two Xuan Kui seeds?"
...
Su Xing and Yue Du walked southwest along the fog, silent for a while.
"Lin Zhongxian?" It was Yue Du who spoke in a low voice.
Su Xing nodded. Only he knew that this was not Lin Zhongxian's physique, but the magical power brought by the Fuso Spiritual Root.
Fuso, where even the legendary Golden Crow inhabits, is no less attractive to other animals. When he was raining in Dongshan, his spiritual rain could easily summon small animals. Later, when he chose tasks, including the Fairy Bamboo Town where monsters caused chaos last time, and the Yuanmu Forest where the miasma was driven away this time, he considered " There are two factors: "forest" and "monster".
"sough!"
Suddenly, there were several sounds from behind a low bush ahead.
Yue Du looked back at Su Xing and signaled to be silent, and the two of them slowly walked towards the place where the noise came from.
As they approached, the rustling movement disappeared again, and the air was silent except for the faint white mist-like miasma that filled the air.
A few more silver needles appeared in Yue Du's fingers at some point. The tips of the needles glowed with a faint green light, as if they were smeared with poison.
Suddenly, she brushed aside the bushes, paused for a moment, then turned back with a serious look on her face and motioned for Su Xing to come forward and check.
Su Xing noticed that the silver needle on the other person's fingertip had disappeared at some point, so he took two steps forward.
Behind the bushes, an old green-faced ape with a small part of its body cut off by some kind of sharp blade was lying on the ground, making no sound.
There wasn't much blood under his body. Looking forward, there were red stains all the way.
It seemed like all the blood had been drained on the road.
