The two of them ran out of the forest along the route that had cleared the miasma. They didn't encounter any accidents at first, but gradually they realized that something was wrong.
"I remember cleaning this area with the Mist-Swallowing Flower before." Yue Du rushed towards him and glanced at Su Xing, who was wrapped in a black robe. Apart from gasping for air, Yue Du could actually keep up with his speed.
Su Xing frowned, and he also noticed this: "Let's continue to retreat outside and take a look."
After a moment, the fog in front seemed to be thicker, as if they were not running outside the forest, but instead seemed to be running straight into the depths of the miasma.
"Something's wrong. Why is the fog getting thicker and thicker in places where the miasma has been cleared? Could it be that we ran in the wrong direction." Yue Du seemed worried.
Su Xing didn't dare to stop. He only said to Yue Du: "Run slightly to the left."
Yue Du seemed to be somewhat convinced that he was a first-level Qi practitioner, and he nodded without making any rebuttal.
The running route of the two began to deviate slightly to the left. However, they found that the fog seemed to be thicker on the side.
A flash of inspiration flashed in Su Xing's mind, and he said solemnly: "Stop deflecting and continue running straight out of the forest."
Yue Du followed his words at first, but as he ran, he asked, "Are you sure we didn't run in the wrong direction?"
"We didn't run in the wrong direction. We did clean up the miasma in this area." Su Xing seemed to be running with difficulty, and his words were interrupted from time to time. "However, the miasma gradually surrounded it from the sides, and the areas that were cleaned a few days ago have been covered again."
"you mean......"
"Yes, the macaque miasma, which has been roughly fixed in scale since it appeared in the original records, is beginning to expand." Su Xing glanced forward, the sky was getting darker, and the dense trees in front and the increasingly dense miasma made people feel There is no hope of running out of the forest.
“Perhaps it won’t be long before the entire forest will be covered.
We must get out as soon as possible! "
However, after saying this, the two gradually slowed down.
Because, a figure suddenly appeared in the miasma ahead.
Ban Yuntao!
Wearing a black robe and having an ordinary face, his face was a little pale, and he stumbled towards Su Xing and the others.
"Ban Yuntao?" Su Xing shouted, a little confused. "Why are you here?"
"He's injured." Yue Du said with a frown.
Thinking of the mysterious monks who were massacring the Green-faced Ape in the forest, the two of them looked behind Ban Yuntao in unison.
At this moment, a female scream suddenly sounded:
"careful!!!"
At the last moment, a cold light struck towards the two of them like thunder.
I saw Ban Yuntao taking advantage of the momentum of running this way to pull out a bone scimitar from his thigh. When he looked up again, he still had the timid temperament that seemed to be injured and being chased. His eyes were looking directly at the two people in front of him, like a tiger descending from the mountain.
The knife carries a cold light!
Like a tiger eating people!
At this moment, Su Xing, who had been wary for a long time, quickly began to have green spots on his body. However, he soon discovered that the sword light was not hitting him, but was pointing directly at Yue Du!
Quietly dispersing from the grass and trees, looking at the bone scimitar, an idea flashed in his mind.
Thinking of the simple drawing that the little monkey king drew for him.
The man in front of me was the one who massacred the group of green-faced apes!
Yue Du also reacted quickly, but I don't know if it was because he was a pharmacist and was not good at attack and defense skills. At the critical moment, she just threw out a few silver needles, and then twisted her waist tightly, and her plump body made a wave, trying to avoid this knife.
"Jingle-ding-ding-ding-ding!"
The silver needles made a crisp sound when they hit the bone knife, and several of them passed by the bone knife and flew towards Ban Yuntao.
The tip of the needle glowed with a faint green light. He frowned slightly and put away the knife to block it.
"Peng!"
A bunch of green flames also poured out from the side.
The combination of the two finally forced Ban Yuntao to take a few steps back temporarily.
The green fire fell to the ground and spread in just a few breaths. Several large trees nearby were ignited, forming a wall of green fire. Ban Yuntao frowned, as if he couldn't get through it for a while.
"Follow me, hurry!" On the other side of the fire wall, the voice that reminded them to be careful appeared again.
In the light of the fire, the figure with a somewhat embarrassed look and anxious eyes turned out to be... Yan Shengfang!
Yue Du did not hesitate, covered his shoulders, turned around and ran after the other party.
Su Xing hesitated for a moment and glanced at the figure holding a knife looming behind the wall of green fire in front of him.
Then he turned around and ran after him.
But after this incident, the direction of their attack had completely reversed from running towards the outside of the forest to running towards the forest!
If you raise your field of view, the bright fire will gradually shrink. In the distance, in the large forest dyed yellow by the sun, miasma was surging, spreading to the outskirts of the Ape Wood Forest at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this speed, the entire forest would be covered in thick miasma just before dark.
And it's dark.
Only one hour left.
...
The three of them ran towards the forest desperately. Suddenly, Su Xing, who was lagging behind, said: "Stop first."
The two people in front looked back at him with some doubts, but Yue Du gradually stopped, and Yan Shengfang also slowly stopped.
Only then did Su Xing discover that although Yue Du had avoided fatal injuries, there was still a cut on his shoulder. As the blood flowed, his plump outline was revealed, making his skin even whiter.
Yue Du is also a wood practitioner, but the healing effect of her spiritual energy seems to be average. It only stopped the bleeding, but there was no sign of healing. Taking advantage of this opportunity to stop, she turned around, took out the powder, and began to treat the wound.
"Run quickly? Ban Yuntao is about to catch up!" Yan Shengfang asked with a frown.
"Why did Ban Yuntao intercept and kill the two of us? What happened between you and him? And although Ban Yuntao has practiced at the eighth level of Qi, one of us here is at the ninth level and the other is at the fifth level. Why did he run?" Su Xing gasped a little, but still looked at Yan Shengfang coldly.
Being stared at by Su Xing, Yan Shengfang temporarily forgot that the other party had just practiced Qi at the first level, and she felt a little guilty, but the fear in her heart made her tremble and cry: "It's not just Ban Yuntao, there are others. They will Control people's hearts, Ban Yuntao...Ban Yuntao has been controlled by them, if he doesn't run away, they will catch up."
"Them?" Su Xing looked cold, as if he didn't believe what the other party said, "Then we should run out of the Ape Wood Forest as soon as possible."
"You can't escape!" Yan Shengfang seemed to be frightened and shed tears: "The reason why they want to control us is because they want us to go deep into the miasma for them to collect ghost fruits!!"
"Ghost phase fruit." Over there, Yue Du also took care of the wound and put on an extra robe to cover the exposed spring light. Hearing these words, his eyes flickered.
Only Su Xing was a little confused.
Yue Du glanced at him and explained:
"The Ghost Appearance Fruit is a rare treasure from heaven and earth. The conditions for its maturity are extremely harsh. When it bears fruit, it will be covered in miasma for hundreds of miles. The inside is like a ghost, and it is impassable from the inside out!"
"If this is really so miraculous, how could the sect ignore it?" Su Xing was puzzled.
"Although the result is great, it often only produces a ghost-like fruit, which is of little benefit to the monks."
"As for the two-faced ghost's zodiac sign, it is rarely heard of, only legends."
"Eating can build the foundation of human nature and ghost appearance!"
