Chapter 297: Living Fox Ghost "Go this way, the road over there should be...
"Go this way, that road should be used to deceive others." Ye Lu and the ghost scholar walked forward along the passage. When passing a fork in the road, the ghost scholar looked at one of the roads with some hesitation. The branches of the black tiger vine spoke bluntly.
The ghost scholar stopped instantly.
Ye Lu looked at the black tiger vine branch that was speaking and was very surprised: "Does this have the power of your branches?"
"Of course not. It's just that my weird power is still stored in the branch. If the weird power is there, it can make sounds. If the weird power is gone, it's just a simple branch."
After hearing this, Ye Lu felt that it was normal. That's right. If even a piece of vine was branched, even if it was a top-grade vine, it would be a bit too incredible.
"You just said that road is not passable? How did you know?" The ghost scholar looked at the branches of the black tiger vine tentatively.
"Tsk." The branches of the black tiger vine said reluctantly: "I also hoped that I was seeing things. I didn't expect that this group of myriad races really found a new cave entrance right under my nose. Damn bugs, the appearance of this passage is exactly the same as the passage I'm in." This fact undoubtedly completely extinguished the last bit of luck of the black tiger vine.
It actually really let a group of all races go!
This is even more painful than letting the black tiger vine enter the unlucky place again. It would rather transplant it into the unlucky place again in exchange for all the creatures of all races to use as fertilizer.
The ghost scholar was silent. He did not expect that the myriad races would be so unscrupulous. Does this mean that the Black Tiger Vine will never be able to find this passage in its lifetime?
Or is it ridicule?
This situation makes the victim more angry than any other situation.
The ghost scholar couldn't help but glance at the fork in the road they just passed. There were two roads. If it weren't for the reminder from Black Tiger Vine, they would have to take one of the two roads. They would have definitely fallen into the trap of the Ten Thousand Races. He didn't believe that the Ten Thousand Races would go to such great lengths to avoid death. Anyway, if it were him, he would definitely do the same.
Now, having the black tiger vine is like carrying a special living map with you.
The ghost scholar couldn't tell for a moment whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, but at least they got a good result by accident.
Black Tiger Vine noticed the ghost scholar's gaze and thought he was still thinking about the two roads just now, so Black Tiger Vine simply explained: "Those two roads are fake, and they lead to the most unlucky places. Although after so long, I don't know if the ruins are still as dangerous as before, but you'd better not go there."
"The bad luck in that place is different from other places. Even if you change your temperament, you will all be twisted without exception. Even I can't save you then."
"Keep moving forward." Black Tiger Vine continued to direct the ghost scholar's movements.
The ghost scholar continued to move forward along the path of the black tiger vine. The passage the group was walking on now was similar to a cave with very smooth stone layers on the top and bottom. There were also stalactite-like accumulations on the top of the entire passage that had been formed over the years. These accumulations of stone were very hard, and several people had to avoid the accumulations of stone that blocked the way from time to time.
The stone passage becomes narrower and narrower as you go forward, and at the end it is barely wide enough for only one person to pass through, which can easily give people the illusion that they have reached a dead end.
"Don't stop. It's not a dead end. Just turn to the side." Heihu Teng reminded appropriately.
The ghost scholar followed the instructions of the black tiger vine and headed to the side. He turned slightly and came to a cave entrance that was wide enough for one person to pass through. After walking a few steps into the cave, the view in front of him suddenly opened up.
At the end of the cave passage, a lush, blood-red forest appeared before our eyes.
The ghost scholar looked up, and saw that there was still a huge cave above his head, but there were holes on the top of the cave. The dazzling sunlight passed through these holes and sprinkled on the leaves of plants on the ground, forming irregular spots of light.
Ye Lu looked at the ghost scholar who was motionless and thought something had happened. He frowned and walked around the ghost scholar who was blocking his way. Then he saw the same scene as the ghost scholar.
"What is this........." Ye Lu was also shocked by the scenery in front of him. Was a forest forcibly built into the mountain? The entire forest was completely different from the forests they had seen outside. No matter how green the leaves on the trees were, they all revealed a trace of blood. The soil in the forest was also different from the outside world, and it was extremely dark.
The strange power was boiling, absorbing, and nurturing above the entire lush forest.
"Forest." The ghost scholar said softly.
"It's a pity that it's probably just an ordinary forest without any strange plants." The ghost scholar said regretfully. At first he was also shocked by such a large forest. Such a large forest exhaled countless strange powers. Even from such a far distance he could feel the powerful strange power above the forest. Unfortunately, when the ghost scholar sighed again, he found something different.
Weird power? Too little.
At first glance, there seem to be a lot of strange powers, but compared to such a large forest, these strange powers are a little insufficient.
Not a weird plant.
Black Tiger Vine said as a matter of course: "Of course it can't be a strange plant. If such a large area is full of strange plants, the myriad races can't possibly die. They can't survive because of the lack of strange food."
"The reason you see this large forest is because there are a lot of strange powers here. This place is favored by all races because it is a place with strong strange powers." Black Tiger Vine explained: "It's just that an accident happened. There is an unlucky place in the strange energy. The more strange powers there are, the more these plants will naturally be infected with some strange power characteristics."
"You see that this forest is different from the outside world. It is probably because it has absorbed more bad luck. The leaves and branches are all different, and the strange energy is even more explosive."
Black Tiger Vine concluded, "With such a strong strange power, a strange plant may really be born in this forest in a few thousand years."
"As for now-----impossible." Hei Hu Teng saw through the reason at a glance: "The time is too short."
"The strange plant is not here, you continue to move forward." After Heihu Teng explained what he knew to the two people present, he signaled the ghost scholar to follow his words.
The ghost scholar was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Isn't the strange plant here?"
"There is no strange energy anymore, where can the strange plant be?" Black Tiger Vine said calmly, "It must have been hidden. I don't know if there is something wrong with my memory. If something really happened, there are only one or two places where the myriad insects hide strange plants."
The black tiger vine branches in the ghost scholar's hand moved.
"By the way, this place is too unlucky. There are many strange things here that you have never seen outside. The tricks are hard to guard against. Sometimes I have to suffer losses. You should be more vigilant." Black Tiger Vine suddenly seemed to remember something and reminded.
“........” The ghost scholar was silent.
Black Tiger Vine noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's too late. I've already seen it." Ye Lu spoke on behalf of the ghost scholar.
When Ye Lu said this, his eyes were fixed on the bend of the cliff in front of him. There were a few scattered trees, each with very few leaves on it. The bark was a gray-brown color, and looked bleak and lonely.
What Ye Lu was staring at was not the tree but a furry figure under the tree that looked neither human nor human.
The figure seemed to notice that someone was looking at it. It stood up, turned its head, and smiled at Ye Lu with its pointed mouth slightly opened.
"Fox ghost!" Black Tiger Vine recognized the figure and immediately screamed, "Don't let it bow down to you. If you do, your soul will no longer belong to you."
The fox ghost now revealed its full appearance. It was wearing tattered linen clothes, with light yellow fur under the white linen clothes. Its eyes were green, and a green glow was flashing in the darkness. Its smile deepened, and its ten furry paws were put together, as if it had three incense sticks in its hands, and it was preparing to bow to Ye Lu and his group from afar.
Ye Lu instantly felt that the energy in his body was being locked onto by someone.
"Go!" Ye Lu opened his hand and a bone lantern appeared in his palm. The long bone chain brought out a unique rhythm. The chain spread out from the lantern, constantly getting bigger, and was about to catch the fox ghost.
The fox ghost ignored Ye Lu rushing towards him and was about to bow.
Ye Lu attacked directly, and at the critical moment, he tied up the claws with a bone chain. The huge force twisted Bai Xiang's posture out of shape, and then Ye Lu arrived.
The fox ghost saw that his worship failed and was about to open his sharp mouth, but the sharp-eyed Ye Lu reached out and broke his neck.
After Ye Lu did all this, he felt lighter all over, and he had the real feeling that he had escaped death.
"What is this?" Ye Lu turned his head and saw the ghost scholar coming over with a black tiger vine branch, asking in a bad tone.
"Fox ghosts are the most difficult monsters in this valley. It is said that they are transformed from dead foxes. No one knows for sure. They are not difficult to kill. Once you get close to them, they are almost the same as mortals. The only danger is their tricks. Anyone seen by the fox ghosts can be easily immobilized by them. The three incense sticks in their hands are not for you, but for the three spiritual fires behind you."
"After you kowtowed three times and received a great gift from a ghost, the spiritual fire on your shoulders is gone, your soul is unstable, and you will naturally die and disappear. You may even be usurped by someone else."
"Fortunately, Lord Chongshan is quite skilled, otherwise someone would have lost his soul this time."
"........" Ye Lu looked at the fox ghost corpse, he paused, and looked at the ghost scholar next to him. The ghost scholar understood instantly. Ye Lu kept changing his gestures and made a series of hand seals to ensure that not a trace of bad luck would leak out of the fox ghost corpse, which was wrapped tightly.
The ghost scholar waved his hand lightly, and the fox ghost corpse disappeared on the spot.
"Are all the weirdness in this valley so difficult to deal with?" Ye Lu asked Heihu Teng after doing all this. What exactly is the so-called weird door? Ye Lu is sure that he has never seen such weirdness outside. It is not strong, nor weak, but it is so weird that it is hard to guard against.
Ye Lu suspected that it might be because of the Guimen sect. The name Guimen itself was easy to arouse people's imagination.
"In the past, the weirdness in this valley was similar to that outside. Later, bad luck came, and the weirdness here became weirder and weirder than the outside, and more bloodthirsty than the outside."
The Black Tiger Vine breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't want to see any casualties among the two-legged beasts it brought with it. It had promised Master Axi to take these two people out safely. If one of them died, how would it explain to the master?
The result now is that everyone is satisfied.
"The fox ghost is not the most difficult one among them." Heihu Teng knew what Lord Chongshan wanted to know, so he told him everything he knew: "I know of at least three kinds of weirdness that are more difficult to deal with than the fox ghost. I just don't know if they are still there."
"Hey, fox ghosts require less power and can survive, but those big monsters require a lot of power and may not be able to survive."
"Three more?"
"Yes, there are the Yama ghost, the three rising corpses, and the fish girl. All three of them are more vicious than the fox ghost."
After listening to this, Ye Lu looked at the ghost scholar.
There is no way. Gods have unique advantages in perception. Some things that Ye Lu may not be able to sense are very conspicuous in the ghost scholar's perception.
The ghost scholar closed his eyes and felt it. After a moment, he opened his eyes and shook his head quietly at Ye Lu: "No."
"Then it should be true, not weird anymore."
"It's good that you collected the fox ghost's corpse." Hei Hu Teng heard the ghost scholar's words and replied, "Meeting a fox ghost is not all bad. Fox ghosts are very sensitive to strange forces, and the places where they appear are generally full of vitality."
"The words here..." Black Tiger Vine said hesitantly, "You guys take a look first, I think there should be something good."
Heihu Teng felt that the fox ghost's actions just now were also very abnormal.
Generally speaking, fox ghosts are very timid creatures. The first thing they will do when they see someone approaching is to run away.
