It passed by us, it was as tall as half a tree, its huge body exuding countless faint black aura, and it was covered with dense scales. It walked straight on two legs, and the huge tail in the middle was swinging with a wheezing sound. When I turned around, I saw that its face was full of endless gloom, and its pupils emitted a faint green halo, like a will-o'-the-wisp. Its body was like a lizard, but it was standing, covered with snake scales, dark skin, and the tongue it spit out was particularly long and thin. It was difficult to see what its face looked like, but it vaguely felt that it looked very similar to a human face.

Lingshang and I could only stand there in a daze, not daring to move, for fear that it would sense something was wrong and swallow us whole. There was endless terrifying greed in its eyes. Although I hadn't been eaten by it yet, I could clearly feel its strange throbbing. I didn't dare to look at it and could only lower my head. My whole body was shaking. But after a while, although it stayed for nearly two minutes, it turned around and left, and I was glad to be alive.

"What is that?" I asked, feeling cold and fearful.

"They are the evil spirits that looked up that night. They are the result of the evil spirits and resentment of the dead in this valley. They are particularly terrifying. If they make eye contact with a living person, they will become entangled with him. Only after they know how to eat you alive will they return to this place and continue waiting." Hu Lingshang said.

"Why are they doing this? Besides, they have already looked at Yunwen, and I didn't see them getting entangled with her. Moreover, there are only these areas in this area where the black air is lingering. It seems that they can't get out. How can they get entangled?" I asked.

"That's because the day has not arrived yet. When it comes to a very yin time, such as a full moon night or when the gates of hell are wide open, the yin will be strong and the yang will be weak, and the things that imprison them will no longer be useful. They can go out to hunt, and the person they hunt is the one they like. So that's when the entanglement begins. Once they find the stranger they want to see, they will use all kinds of means to bring him back here in a short time, or eat him to their heart's content." Ling Shang said.

"That is to say, they can't go out on weekdays, and can only go out in time at special times, and they will want to harm Yunwen, right?" I asked.

Lingshang nodded.

During the bonfire party yesterday, I paid special attention. The moon was not yet round, so there should be some time left. As for the Ghost Festival, it has already passed this year, so I am not that anxious for the time being. The situation is much more tolerant than I thought, but the appearance of the lizard man I saw just now really scared me. From what Lingshang said, there are more than one of those things. I can't help but feel scared when I think that these things are eyeing Yunwen.

Therefore, our best strategy now is to quickly complete our current task, so as to avoid being too hasty and unable to cope with it later.

After that thing left, we continued to grope and search in this gloomy place. There were corpses everywhere, but what I noticed was that among these corpses there were wild boars, wild dogs, wild monkeys, wild deer and even wild wolves and wild hyenas, but there were no goat bones. I searched around and recognized the skeletons of almost all the animals that had appeared on the island, but the only one missing was the goat.

After investigating the skeleton, I went to the edge and walked to the end of the black air. When I stretched my hand out to the edge, I could feel the warmth. When I retracted my hand to the part covered by the black air, I immediately felt the chill again. It was really weird. I looked around at the edge and saw the scenery of fallen leaves in autumn on the opposite side, but it was deep winter on this side, as if we were two different places and two different worlds.

We walked around and couldn't figure out why it was like this until we saw a strange old tree at the junction. It was located at both ends of the junction, half on the cold side and half on the warm side, but the strange thing was that its growth was not affected at all, as if the changes in the middle had nothing to do with it.

I went forward to look at the tree, and found that it was no different from ordinary willows and pine trees. Even if there were some differences, they were only slight. Autumn was a bleak time, and many of its leaves had turned yellow and fallen off. However, the number of leaves that fell was not proportional to the number of branches. But it would be far-fetched to say that they were blown away by the wind, because in this so-called prison place, there was no wind at all, and even if there was, it was blocked by the black air. Since just now, I only felt the coldness blowing on my face, but it was only the feeling brought by the black air, and it was definitely not the wind.

Looking further ahead, there are a lot of trees growing on the edge, basically there is one every eight or nine steps, and they grow specifically in separated places. In other words, the black air simply cannot pass through the boundaries formed by these trees. From this we have also found the pattern that these trees can block the invasion of negative energy.

In addition, we also saw a particularly surprising scene. Not far ahead, there were quite a few wild goats. They were strolling nearby and bleating. The key point was that they were moving freely around the edge, as if they were in an empty space. They had no feeling about the black air at all, as if it did not exist. They walked and stopped there, ate and rested, and the black air actually avoided them.

However, although they were not worried about the black air, they were a little wary of us. When they saw us, they raised their heads and looked at us, observing our every move.

I couldn't help but think of the only missing bones among the animal skeletons. They were so close, but they had never suffered the disaster. Other animals were farther away, but their bones were piled up. Moreover, the goats seemed to be fine here, which meant that they seemed to have an instinctive immunity to the black air. Isn't this the answer we need?

Looking a little further away, I saw that many of them were eating the fallen leaves of these trees, and I seemed to understand a little.

"The trees and the sheep may be the answers we are looking for this time. This is exactly what the evil spirits are afraid of." I said.

"Zhou Lang is right, but even if we know this, what should we do?" Ling Shang asked.

"Before that, we have to understand one thing. You said that during the period of great yin, these evil spirits will leave the group and go out hunting. This means that even if there are obstacles at that time, they will not be able to be stopped because of the strong yin and weak yang, right?" I asked.

Ling Shang shook her head and said, "That may not be the case. Just like you and I, we were not treated as living creatures because we were infected with the venom of the Red Demon Spider. These things cannot guarantee that they will be able to stop them, but they may also play a certain role in confusing them and prevent them from attacking easily. We don't understand the principle, and if we pull up the tree and take it away, I'm afraid it will destroy the structure here."

I thought about it and felt that what Juezhi said made sense. Even if it couldn't completely block it, it would at least affect the judgment of the black air. Maybe I could get away with it. In short, this was the most appropriate thing I had found so far. At least it was much better than not preparing anything.

"It's okay. We can't take the tree away, but we can take the sheep. After taking it back, let Yunwen use the Yangshenmu's ability to communicate with all things to communicate with it and ask it questions. This way we can understand more and make more preventive arrangements. What do you think?" I asked.

"Zhou Lang is right. How could I forget Sister Yunwen's abilities?" Ling Shang smiled, covering her mouth.

However, before going to catch the sheep, she and I have an important thing to do. Nearly three or four hours have passed since we set out, and half a day has passed. If the poison of the red devil spider is not eliminated and allowed to remain in the body, I'm afraid the condition will start to worsen. Therefore, we have to eliminate the poison first.

So the two of us left the black gas area and came to the jungle in the goat area. We found a place far away from there, a relatively secluded and suitable place. She took out another wrapped grass leaf from her pocket, coughed and said, "The method of taking it is the same as before. Take it."

Just as I was about to take it, I heard a bleating sound. I was startled and didn't hold it firmly, so it fell to the ground. I hurried to pick it up, but found that it had fallen into a pile of dead leaves and I couldn't find it no matter how hard I tried. I immediately panicked, thinking that after all, this was my life-saving thing, and if I just threw it away, wouldn't that be the end of my life?

At this time, Ling Chang not only did not blame him, but said: "Forget it, Zhou Lang, if you don't mind, you and I can take the same antidote."

"How can we eat together? Is that possible?" I asked with my heart beating faster.

She nodded, shyly.

Seeing her like this, I didn't need to hide it. After all, she was my wife, so I could kiss her as I pleased. Why should I be polite to her? So I kissed her mouth tightly, and she hugged me tightly. We lingered in the jungle for a long time, until a moment later, she pushed me away slightly, bit the piece of grass between her lips and teeth, and hooked her hand at me seductively.

I kissed her again, and the juice from the herbs flowed between our lips and teeth. Not long after, the hot feeling in my body disappeared, and it seemed that the poison had been eliminated.

At the same time, I happened to see the goat that was bleating not far away. Since we were destined to meet, I decided to take it back.
