Grab it
Jiang Jingyuan's eyes flickered as he asked, "Is there any obvious difference between Grandma Forest and other misty forests?"
As long as she could verify whether this was really Grandma Forest, she could roughly judge from which sides the dangers she would face next would come.
If Jiang Jingyuan didn't think it was just an accident, she would have been sent to this famous scenic spot by such a coincidence. Since Grandma Lin is considered the most famous, it must have its special features, and this special feature may have made it the burial place of many people.
If those people just wanted to deal with Baiwenlou, why would she appear here instead of on any street?
"The Grandma Forest is the largest misty forest in the world. Mist permeates the area year-round, rendering all forms of communication ineffective. And there's something particularly peculiar about it..." Xu Qinglin, in the Killing Realm, smeared her lipstick on the exquisite bronze mirror before her. Her red lips parted as she spoke slowly, "It's said that deep within the Grandma Forest lies a gathering place for spirit beasts."
Spirit beasts, according to legend, reigned supreme in ancient times. However, for the past thousand years, few have ever seen a true spirit beast. To the point where, in the eyes of the world, spirit beasts are only heard of, never seen, little more than legends. But now, rumors are circulating that a spirit beast exists in the Grandma Forest?
Jiang Jingyuan didn't know whether the rumor was true or not, and she had no time to think about it. She was now completely focused on a key point in Xu Qinglin's words: "All communication methods within the forest will be ineffective."
This actually doesn't matter to those with advanced cultivation, but...
Jiang Jingyuan's face suddenly turned serious as he asked, "Can you still teleport me out now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the silver sachet hanging around her waist light up faintly. Jiang Jingyuan looked down and saw that the light gradually became dazzling.
However, the next moment, the faint light began to flicker continuously, and after a few seconds, it dimmed and faded as if it could no longer hold on.
"cannot."
Within the fiery red killing zone, a pair of bare hands lowered their lip balm. The bronze mirror reflected the face of a woman in red, her expression remaining calm. Her red lips moved as she spoke, "Either there's a massive barrier here that's trapped you, or there's a special interference formation set up here."
As expected... Jiang Jingyuan's heart sank to the bottom. She didn't expect that she was so unlucky to encounter such a thing when she went out for a trip.
If just the means of communication cannot be used, then this can only trap some middle and lower-level cultivators who accidentally broke in here. For those with advanced cultivation, they always carry teleportation tools or brass discs engraved with formations. There are also some people who can set up formations by themselves... Grandma Lin can't trap them at all.
But now, teleportation is no longer available.
This is really scary.
A thick, gray fog quickly spread, obscuring the vibrant colors of tall and short plants, leaving them gray and hazy, as if shrouded in death. Amidst the damp, gray-white earth, a young girl in a goose-yellow dress stood motionless for a long time, like an ancient painted stone statue.
The fog in front of Jiang Jingyuan's eyes became thicker, making it almost impossible for her to see the scenery more than ten feet away.
In the gray-white mist, Jiang Jingyuan seemed to be covered by a veil, looming, with only a pair of dark eyes that seemed deeper.
She thought about it carefully.
The current situation was clear. Those who were interfering with the transmission of Baiwen Tower didn't necessarily want to attack Baiwen Tower, but they were definitely targeting the living people who were being teleported.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't know what those people wanted to do, but he felt that what they wanted to do to those of them who were trapped here was nothing more than robbery and murder.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker. Jiang Jingyuan felt that in just a blink of an eye, the gray-white fog silently and forcefully rushed straight to her nose. She raised one hand and stretched it out, but she couldn't see her fingers clearly.
In this situation, what should she do?
Jiang Jingyuan felt that if he wandered around randomly, there was a great possibility that he would fall into a bigger and more sudden crisis or trap.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyuan simply stood where she was, took out a communication card from her storage bracelet and tried to send a message to Hua Simiao. After a pause, she also sent a message to Rong Yejin.
In case she died outside, it would be better for Rong Yejin to make preparations early... Jiang Jingyuan thought silently.
As expected, Jiang Jingyuan waited for a while, and when he looked down again, he saw that the message had not been sent out on the transmission board that had turned into a jade board.
Jiang Jingyuan put away the communication card with her backhand, her face calm. Suddenly, she remembered something and hurriedly lowered her head to look at the copper bell hanging on the longevity lock on the necklace around her neck.
Jiang Jingyuan's mind moved, and the ancient copper bell rang gently, but no clear and pleasant ringing sound rang in her mind. Jiang Jingyuan sighed inwardly: "Isn't she also capable..."
It seemed like she could only rely on herself. Jiang Jingyuan looked at the gray-white fog ahead and stepped into it. "Ding-ling-ling..." Jiang Jingyuan suddenly stopped in her tracks. Bewildered and somewhat surprised, she asked in her mind, "Qin Jiuyan?"
There was no response in her mind, "Ding-ling-ling... Ding... Ding-ling-ling..." The sound of the shaking copper bell was faint and intermittent.
Jiang Jingyuan understood that it was a bad signal. But fortunately, it was just a bad signal, not a complete blockage.
"Wow--!!!"
A sharp and hoarse sound, not sure if it was from a bird or something else, suddenly sounded in the depths of the fog. Jiang Jingyuan was caught off guard and turned his head sharply to look in the direction of the sound.
A thick fog covered the sky and the earth before his eyes. Jiang Jingyuan paused, and before he could even think about anything, he saw the thick fog in front of him suddenly become thinner, revealing the silhouettes of grass and trees in the distance.
"The fog here gathers and disperses unpredictably. It must be just a coincidence..." Jiang Jingyuan felt a chill on his back, but still walked towards the direction where the voice came from.
Waiting there is not a solution, not to mention that at this point, even if she doesn't want to leave, someone will force her to leave.
Walking uphill on the wet and thick grass, her feet would bump against her from time to time, and there would be a crisp "crack" sound as small branches fell to the ground and were broken. As she walked, the gray mist gradually dissipated silently. Only when she looked up could she see wisps of white mist lingering over the tall trees that blocked out the sun.
The forest was lush with vegetation, and the bark of the tall trees was covered with thick moss. Jiang Jingyuan saw a vast expanse of dark green.
rustle……
Raising his hand to push aside the grass and branches, Jiang Jingyuan suppressed the discomfort in his heart, lifted his foot and pushed down a bush and walked out.
There are no roads or directions in the deep mountains and forests, and you have to rely on yourself to find your way.
"Haven't we arrived yet? Or did I take the wrong road?" Jiang Jingyuan felt confused. The sharp and strange voice just now sounded not far away, so why had she not seen any trace of it after walking for half a while?
It was quiet all around. Jiang Jingyuan walked for a long time. The only sound he could hear was his own footsteps and the pounding of his heartbeat. There was not even the sound of the wind.
This is Grandma Lin.
The vegetation in Grandma's Forest is lush and close to each other. Most of the time, only a slight breeze blows in, not to mention the bright and dazzling golden sunlight from the outside. No matter how strong the sun is, it can only illuminate the forest as gray as a rainy day. Most of the sunlight is blocked outside the forest by the tall trees.
"It seems that I really took the wrong road. I haven't heard any animal calls or movements for such a long time. Maybe I am getting farther and farther away." Jiang Jingyuan thought as he looked back at the way he came.
Jiang Jingyuan sighed inwardly, turned back, and looked up. But before she could see the deep forest behind her, her sight was caught off guard by a patch of mottled dark gray.
“!!!”
The color fluctuation of the dark gray mottled surface was not obvious, but at a very close distance, Jiang Jingyuan saw densely packed pearl-like dots of varying shades on the dark gray!
The vast expanse of dark gray, which almost blocked out the sun, was surging in patches, sticky and wet to the point of peeling, like the surface of some living thing undulating with its breathing.
What is this...?
Jiang Jingyuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he clenched the plum blossom sleeve arrow covered with invisible spiritual power in his hand, and quickly swept it back with his backhand.
The majestic spiritual energy wrapped around the plum blossom sleeve arrow and struck directly at the dark grey, still peeling skin. A large area of dark grey was deeply sunken. Jiang Jingyuan felt a sticky, wet and soft feeling on his hand.
In an instant, the mottled dark gray was blown away without any resistance.
At the same time, Jiang Jingyuan stepped back repeatedly, wanting to get away from this disgusting and weird dark gray skin, and also wanting to step back to see the full appearance of this thing that could be so disgusting.
But she forgot the current environment...
“Patta, patta, patta—”
There was a small slope behind, and the grass was very slippery. Jiang Jingyuan slipped as he retreated, and his body was unstable. He tried to stand up in a hurry, and he stumbled and broke a lot of grass, making a series of rapid and panicked crisp sounds.
“Snap!”
Jiang Jingyuan stepped outward with his right foot, heavily pressing down three or five branches and leaves, abruptly stopping his retreat and looking forward.
In the deep mountain forest that gradually extended into the distance in dark green and then turned into a breathable gray, Jiang Jingyuan searched for a moment and then firmly locked onto the dark gray figure.
The dark grey figure with a twisted and strange shape that was difficult to describe slid through the air with a sound of breaking through the air, and flew out like a rag bag.
"brush--"
That thing can fly!
The dark gray mass suddenly stretched out two dark gray wings as long as an adult's arms. It swayed in the air, flapping its mottled bird wings in panic, and fled into the distance.
"Grab it!"
Xu Qinglin's serious voice rang out in Jiang Jingyuan's mind.
Suddenly, the dark gray twisted figure high up seemed to sense the danger and made a sharp and hoarse "Wow-Wow-Wow" sound, as if calling for help, and it ran away faster while calling out hoarsely!
A dark gray bird feather with inconspicuous pearl spots fell from mid-air and slid across the dark green forest scenery.
A bright and clear figure, so clear and beautiful that it was completely out of place in the primeval forest, instantly rushed out from the bushes like a cheetah hunting its prey.
Jiang Jingyuan stomped his feet on the ground and flew into the air. His dark eyes were fixed on the dark figure in front of him. The invisible spiritual power was woven into a net and swept forward. At the same time, Jiang Jingyuan raised his right hand, and a cold light flashed in his flowing sleeves that were layered with goose yellow and layered with white.
"brush--"
As sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath, the water-blue arrow, as if made of ice, made a sound of breaking through the air and fiercely stabbed the dark gray figure in front!
Jiang Jingyuan didn't dare to look away. She didn't dare to relax or underestimate the situation. She concentrated on controlling the invisible spiritual power to block the figure's flight trajectory from both sides.
The icy arrow quickly caught up with the dark gray figure, and the thing suddenly opened its mouth and let out a shrill and tragic scream—
"Wow--!!!"
A powerful and cold aura descended, and Jiang Jingyuan, who fell to the ground, froze instantly. Her eyes widened as she watched the ice arrow in the air shattering bit by bit.
The invisible giant net woven by spiritual power was shattered in an instant.
The dark grey thing fled away.
