Chapter 1025 Black Robe Man
Before he could finish his words, black blood suddenly oozed out of his seven orifices, and his whole body collapsed as if his soul had been sucked out.
Yue Hanchuan sniffed his breath and shook his head solemnly, "His breath has stopped. It's like some force has forcibly drained his life force."
Bei Mingyu squatted down and picked up half a charred bone from the scattered pile of bones. Dark lines were faintly visible on it.
"Look, these lines are moving." He turned the bone fragment over, and the lines twisted into strange symbols, as if alive. "We have to figure this out before we can rest assured."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and turned to look at the misty forest. "Let's go in and take a look."
Everyone looked at each other and said, "Okay!"
After settling the bodies of the disciples, Luo Li sent a message to Shen Fuzhou, and then took Lan Xiaoxiao and the others into the Misty Forest, ready to look for the crack that the Wanjian Mountain disciple mentioned.
It was late at night. An Shuxue looked around and frowned, saying, "The Misty Forest is quite large. We don't know where the crack is. Searching aimlessly like this isn't a good idea."
Luo Li's fingertips traced the jade slip at her waist, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "The Wanjian Mountain disciple came here with injuries. The direction of the poison spreading from the wound may hold clues."
Bei Mingyu placed the bone fragment against his palm, and the lines on it began to heat up. "This thing seems to be sensitive to something. After the last monster exploded, the lines on the bones left behind were twisted in the same direction."
He pointed his sword towards the northwest, the blade reflecting the faint vortex of black mist in the depths of the forest.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and said, "Let's go."
As we walked deeper into the misty forest, the black fog around us became thicker.
Luo Li held Xuan Yue and whispered, "Everyone be careful, there's something wrong with the atmosphere here."
At this moment, Lan Xiaoxiao suddenly covered her ears, and the whip moved without wind: "Did you hear it? It seems like there is a sound of chains dragging..."
Before he could finish his words, the ground suddenly shook violently, and countless chains broke out of the ground, with the ends of the chains wrapped around broken limbs that emitted a foul odor.
The chain wrapped around everyone like a living snake. An Shuxue swung out a flying knife to cut off a piece, but saw black mucus gushing out from the broken end, and new chain links grew out in an instant.
"These chains are alive!" Yue Hanchuan formed seals with his hands, and black ice condensed on the surface of the chains, but was corroded by the mucus and made a sizzling sound.
Luo Li quickly cast a soul shield around everyone, and the golden light resisted the erosion of the chains.
Mo Yizhou suddenly pointed in the distance and exclaimed: "Look! What is that!"
A huge silhouette emerged from the thick fog, like the skeleton of some dragon monster, with green flames burning in its empty eye sockets.
The skeleton slowly raised its arm, and a bloody mouth opened in its palm, spewing out black flames mixed with gravel.
"Disperse!" Luo Li leaped up, and the talisman turned into a shield to block the flames.
"Brother Wanbai, use the wind formation to disrupt its attack! Hanchuan, find its weakness!"
Song Wanbai spun around and waved his sleeves, and a strong wind blew up sand and stones, obscuring the view of the skeleton. Yue Hanchuan took the opportunity to throw out an ice cone, but it only left a faint white mark on the joints of the skeleton.
Bei Mingyu gripped the bone shard tightly, and the lines on it suddenly flashed violently: "There's a glowing spot on its chest!"
He leaped into the air, and his long sword, wrapped in a sharp sword energy, pierced the skeleton's heart, but the sword was entangled by the chain at the moment it was about to touch.
Lan Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity and swung the whip. The flames burned along the chains towards the skeleton, but the skeleton suddenly let out a shrill scream, and countless tiny skeletons poured out from its chest.
An Shuxue fired a volley of silver needles, piercing the brows of several skeletons, but found that they turned into black mist and condensed again.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "Chaos Soul Fire, burn!"
Just when everyone thought they were about to succeed, the dragon skeleton suddenly exploded, and the strong shock wave blew everyone away.
When the dust settled, Luo Li wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and found that the patterns on the bone fragments in Bei Mingyu's hand became clearer and clearer, and they could actually be pieced together to form the outline of a map.
In the center of the map, there was a mark in the shape of an abyss - it was the crack they were looking for.
"It seems like this is a deliberate obstacle." Luo Li gripped the bone shard tightly. "But the more they try to stop it, the more dangerous the secret behind the crack is."
She looked up at the swirling black fog in the northwest and said, "Keep going."
The ground beneath my feet became increasingly damp and muddy, and every step I took seemed to be pulled by an invisible force.
Lan Xiaoxiao's whip suddenly made a buzzing sound.
She looked around warily: "No, it seems like we've been going around in circles!"
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding fog suddenly surged and transformed into distorted human faces, and eerie laughter echoed in the woods.
Bei Mingyu's bone suddenly became extremely hot, so hot that he could hardly hold it: "Be careful! This mist..."
Before he could finish his words, the mist condensed into solid chains, trapping everyone in the center like a spider web.
The Xuan Yue Sword in Luo Li's hand burst out with golden light, breaking several chains, but sharp barbs grew out of the broken ends and cut her sleeves.
An Shuxue suddenly pointed at the ground and exclaimed, "Look! Those vines!"
At some point, dense black vines sprouted from under their feet. Scarlet buds grew on the tops of the vines, slowly opening up to reveal fang-filled buds.
Yue Hanchuan immediately released the cold air, but found that the vines not only did not freeze, but grew more wildly and wrapped around his ankles.
"These things are afraid of fire!" Luo Li injected the Chaos Soul Fire into the sword. Wherever the flames reached, the vines made a sizzling sound and shrank into a ball of gray-black residue.
But soon, more vines emerged from the ground, and the air was filled with a sickening burnt smell.
Just when everyone was engaged in a tough battle, a low chanting sound came from the depths of the thick fog. The sound seemed to come from deep underground, making everyone's eardrums hurt.
Luo Li only felt a sharp pain in her soul, and the Xuan Yue Sword in her hand trembled slightly uncontrollably.
The chanting sound was getting closer and closer, and a man in a black robe walked out slowly. In his hand, he held a bone staff with a still-beating heart embedded in the top.
"You think you can find it easily?" The black-robed man laughed sarcastically in his hoarse laughter. "These are just appetizers."
He waved his staff, and suddenly a bottomless ravine appeared on the ground. Countless pale arms stretched out from the ravine, tightly grabbing everyone's legs.
Even though the Xuan Yue flame in Luo Li's hand was stronger, it could only burn these arms to ashes. In the blink of an eye, new arms appeared.
Bei Mingyu suddenly threw the bone fragment towards the man in black robe. The patterns on the bone fragment turned into a talisman and went straight to the other person's eyebrows.
The man in black robe calmly waved his staff to block it, and the talisman burst into dazzling light the moment it touched the staff.
Taking advantage of this brief gap, Luo Li flashed and pointed the Xuan Yue Sword directly at the black-robed man's throat.
The man in black robe smiled strangely, and suddenly a strong demonic energy burst out from his body, knocking everyone away.
Luo Li bumped into an ancient tree, her throat felt sweet, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.
