Phi-Fic Chapter 665 The chase is coming
Chapter 665 The chase is coming
Zhong Ran was somewhat helpless. The little guy knew it was dangerous inside, yet he still dared to rush straight in.
The same thing happened last time at the ancient battlefield ruins. That little guy ran really fast, but once he entered the bone mountain, he couldn't get down.
However, the aura of death here was so strong that she did not rush in.
"Xiao Yan, you've just advanced in rank and haven't consolidated your progress yet. Cultivate here for a couple of days first."
"With such a dense aura of death, you should be able to condense an avatar by now."
The method of creating clones had already been taught to them by Elder Fang and the others; they were just waiting for their cultivation level to be high enough to put it into practice.
Of the three, Zhong Yan was the first to reach this stage.
Zhong Yan nodded and sat down directly at the entrance of the valley.
"Sister, I'll cultivate here. Please stay away so as not to be affected."
Although he can now control the power of devouring, when he is cultivating at full strength, it is an indiscriminate attack.
Zhong Ran and the other two retreated to a distance, preparing to explore the valley and see what was so special about it.
Zhong Yan circulated his cultivation technique, and a dense gray mist rapidly surged towards him, quickly enveloping him like a silkworm cocoon.
Even if someone gets close at this time, they won't be able to see that there is a person there; they will only see clumps of gray mist.
Of course, no one dared to approach at this time, as the terrifying devouring power could devour their spiritual energy and life force along with it.
Zhong Ran, Mu Jinning, and Asheng walked around the valley together.
My divine sense couldn't penetrate it at all, so I had no idea what was going on inside.
Therefore, she wanted to find a high place to activate her Eye of Illusion and see what was going on inside.
The withered old woman followed the spirit insect into the forest at a fast pace, avoiding the powerful figures and heading straight for the center.
However, before they even got inside, one of the spirit insects in front disappeared, while the other quickly retreated, chirping anxiously incessantly.
The withered old woman waved her hand, and the spirit insect landed in her hand, still chirping incessantly.
She was startled and looked up ahead: "Is there danger ahead?"
She gave the spirit insect the order to follow that person's aura.
She never forgot the destruction of her clone.
She has also investigated and found out that it seems that only Zhong Ran and her three companions have come here recently.
There are many rumors circulating outside, seemingly trying to lure geniuses from both the demonic and evil paths this way.
Others might doubt her motives, but she was certain.
She discovered that Zhong Yan possessed a boundary-suppressing stone tablet from the underworld, and that her clone might have been destroyed there.
Therefore, when she learned that a lightning tribulation had occurred here, she guessed that it was most likely caused by one of them advancing in their cultivation here.
The spirit insect followed the aura all the way here, and sensed danger upon arriving?
One of the spirit insects has gone missing, and the other is equally restless; clearly, the crisis there is extremely terrifying.
So, are the four of them already in danger?
She put away the spirit insect and slowly, step by step, moved forward, her divine sense also cautiously advancing.
However, her divine sense was also limited here, and she could not sense far, only a distance of less than a mile in front of her.
A gray fog enveloped the surroundings.
Further ahead, the gray fog seemed to be surging, moving at an extremely fast speed, and looked incredibly frightening.
Her heart skipped a beat; she had a feeling that something was off about that place.
She paused for a moment, but instead of going over directly, she turned and left.
Soon, she appeared before the cultivators, but instead of revealing herself directly, she used a puppet to lure them in that direction.
"Who's over there?" Someone noticed the commotion and shouted, quickly chasing after them.
The other cultivators exchanged glances and followed suit.
Soon, they saw a patch of gray fog ahead, but the person who had been chasing them earlier was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh? Wasn't Leng Hao just heading this way? Where did he go all of a sudden?"
"The fog ahead is too thick. What if we get lost once we go in?"
"It's highly likely. Everyone should not go in rashly. Let's wait and see."
"Who understands formations? Come and see if there's any mystery hidden here."
The withered old woman hid in the shadows, watching the cultivators' antics with indifference.
The person who had just chased inside made no sound, leaving her completely baffled as to what had happened.
After waiting for a while, since none of them knew any formations, someone pushed one of the people with the lowest cultivation level to go ahead and explore.
Upon seeing this, the withered old woman sent out a wisp of her divine sense to the man.
As long as he enters the thick fog, she can observe the situation inside through her divine sense.
But she was overthinking it again.
The man went in and quickly came out: "I didn't find anything."
Everyone was puzzled. Could it be that what was inside wasn't what they thought?
"Let's go, I'll go wander around somewhere else."
The man calmly turned and left quickly.
In fact, he didn't go in. He had just turned around when he sensed a deadly danger.
He was terrified and instantly used an illusion to reappear.
To avoid being noticed, he had no choice but to run away quickly.
Little did he know that his actions were being observed by an old woman.
Seeing that the people had run away, the old woman was furious and glared coldly at them.
Seeing that the man leave, the others felt a chill run down their spines.
I inexplicably feel somewhat tired all over.
"Let's go, let's explore other places. I heard that someone once obtained an eighth-grade spiritual herb here."
"But this place is strange; I haven't seen a single spiritual herb. Could there be an eighth-grade spiritual medicine here?"
"People used to be hesitant to go in here, but it seems there's nothing to be afraid of."
"Yes, why is it always called the Forest of Death? People are probably just scared by the name, so they don't dare to go in."
"This place is all gray and desolate; could that be where the name comes from?"
"Those gray mists are a bit eerie. Have you noticed that you always feel uncomfortable when you're in there?"
"Isn't it just because of your reputation? It's okay, just walk around more."
The crowd discussed and chased after them inside, but the withered old woman did not follow.
She came in hoping to find Zhong Yan and the others so she could take revenge, but now she hasn't even found a trace of them.
Could it be that there's really nothing wrong with this fog?
She slowly approached; the gray mist was extremely uncomfortable, yet it gave her a strange sense of familiarity.
Similar to the aura of a corpse.
She slowly circulated her cultivation technique, only to discover that she could not absorb the energy within to cultivate.
"As expected of the Forest of Death, is it impossible to cultivate the Qi here?"
But that doesn't make sense either. If there's really no way to cultivate, how do people manage to advance in this place?
Could it be because of the Monument to Life and Death?
