Chapter 318 Black Liquid
The Fengshen Team, Gaishi Team, and Mingyue Team of the East Team have not yet reached the sky barrier at the deepest part of the Forbidden Ruins. However, the closer they get to the deepest part, the more their scalps tingle.
The body trembles involuntarily.
It was as if something terrible was staring at them.
“Sister Yun, I feel it’s eerie here, as if something is staring at us.” A member of the Fengshen team swallowed.
Another person said: "Don't scare yourself."
But Gongsun Yun had an uneasy premonition in her heart, and her right eyelid kept twitching, as if something terrible was going to happen next.
The leader of the Mingyue team breathed rapidly and weakly suggested: "How about we go back? We can't complete this mission."
The four remaining members of the Mingyue team also agreed with their captain's words.
They were terrified to the extreme, their bodies were cold, even their hands holding the weapons were sweating, and they felt very weak all over.
These words stunned Gongsun Yun and Shi Zhan for a moment. They looked at each other and saw that the members of Mingyue Team were pale and trembling, as if they were frightened.
Shi Zhan frowned and said, "Ayun, given their current condition, they can't follow us to the Eastern Area Sky Barrier. Why don't we let them return the same way and stay with the Western Team?"
Although he had a grudge against the Shura team, he believed in Yin Siyan's character.
Gongsun Yun discussed it with her teammates and replied, "Okay."
Hearing this, the members of Mingyue Team felt relieved.
"Thank you!" The captain of Mingyue team's eyes were red.
Seeing them trembling all over, Shi Zhan made a decision in his heart. He looked at the two members of the Gai Shi team and said, "Aning, Du You, the two of you go back with them the same way you came."
The two of them looked somewhat reluctant when they heard this.
Shi Zhan sighed and said, "Take good care of my fellow apprentices."
After hearing this, the two nodded.
The five members of Mingyue Team and the two members of Gaishi Team returned together along the same route.
The captain of the Mingyue team said, "We'll wait for you to come back."
Shi Zhan smiled and said, "Okay."
"It's time for us to go." Gongsun Yun said.
And so they parted ways, taking two completely opposite paths.
However, before Gongsun Yun and the others had walked far, they heard shrill screams coming from behind. They turned their heads suddenly and were shocked by the scene they saw.
Shi Zhan's eyes almost popped out and he let out a roar.
"No--"
The five members of Mingyue Team and the two members of Gaishi Team were wrapped in black liquid. In an instant, they turned into seven sets of white bones.
"What...what is this?!" A member of the Fengshen team covered his mouth in horror, his eyes widened with disbelief.
"Aning, Duyou!"
Shi Zhan's eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Gongsun Yun.
"Calm down! Go!"
"Brother Zhan, let's go!"
They held Shi Zhan tightly and fled to the deepest part, while the black liquid behind them quickly spread towards them.
They were panicked.
The speed of the black liquid is too fast!
It quickly entangled the person who was lagging behind, and in the blink of an eye, it turned that person into a pile of bones.
They had no time to mourn and feel sad for their teammates, because their lives were also in danger!
Fu Yongzhou from the Gaishi Squad: "What on earth is this?!"
“Not sure!”
“There’s one in front too!”
"It's over, we're going to die here this time!"
"I don't want to die in such a miserable way..."
Gongsun Yun was relatively calm. She immediately shouted, "Take out the Holy Light Stone!"
Hearing this, they quickly took out the Holy Light Stone.
Gongsun Yun said in a deep voice: "Let's take a gamble! Let's form a circle!"
They immediately stood back to back, took out the Holy Light Stone in their hands, and used their spiritual power to stimulate the holy light in the Holy Light Stone. In an instant, white holy light lit up.
The black liquid stopped, as if it was afraid.
"It works!" Sikong Ruiling said in surprise.
Gongsun Yun's face was solemn. He said, "Although the black liquid is not approaching, it is not leaving either. We are like trapped beasts now and cannot leave this area."
Black liquid appeared on the ground around them, emitting a thick black gas.
Hearing this, everyone felt even more depressed.
Their spiritual power and the holy light power within the holy light stone will be exhausted sooner or later. Then... will that be the time of their death?
The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
There was a person in the Fengshen team who, for some reason, suddenly thought of something and threw a fruit out immediately.
Before the fruit hit the ground, it was attached to the black liquid, but the fruit was not harmed at all. It fell to the ground, and the black liquid gradually retreated from the fruit.
Everyone was extremely surprised when they saw this scene.
"What's going on? Why can the fruit stay here?"
"Does this black liquid only kill living things?"
One of the Gai Shi team asked, "Do you have any living creatures? Bring them out and try it out."
Hearing this, Gongsun Yun frowned, obviously unhappy.
Using your life for such a cruel experiment!
Before she could say anything, she saw a wolf beast forced to appear, and black liquid quickly attached to its body.
The wolf beast screamed.
It struggled frantically, trying to move towards its owner to seek shelter, but before it arrived, it was turned into bones by the black liquid.
This time, the speed of turning into bones was obviously a little slower.
Gongsun Yun was furious and asked coldly, "Who released it?!"
One of the members of Team Gai Shi had flickering eyes and didn't dare to speak.
Shi Zhan and his team naturally knew who contracted the wolf beast. As the captain, Shi Zhan said, "Ayun is my teammate. He is just thinking about the overall situation. We can't be trapped here forever. We have to try other ways to get out."
"Well done Captain Shi, it's a great idea to try it with the contracted beast. I wonder if you will try it with your own lives?" A member of the Fengshen team sneered.
Shi Zhan choked.
No one in Team Gai Shi was saying anything.
…
at the same time--
The black liquid spread to the sky barrier areas in the west, north and south.
The western team, the northern team, and the southern team all discovered this anomaly. Before they could carefully explore the deepest part of the forbidden ruins, a huge shock was heard.
It seemed as if something was about to crack under the ground.
Boom boom boom!
"Earthquake?!" Zhuge Youlin exclaimed.
And at this moment, the black liquid disappeared in an instant, giving people the feeling of "the old money has been stolen, and it's time to go home quickly."
The ground shook.
As a result, they were unable to stand still.
Yin Siyan gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry, the sky barrier in the western area is almost repaired. Let's make a concerted effort to eliminate the remaining black energy!"
