C200 Deep into the Ghost Forest(part Iii)

When the black fog in front of them dispersed, Lei Yu was the first to notice that countless ghost vines as thick as an arm were quickly moving towards them.

With a blink, another person was entangled by the Ghost Vine, and without even making a sound, they became a black pupa.

That Ghost Vine came quickly, and with great lethality. This time, Lei Yu didn't just stand there and watch. He gently waved his black sleeves, and countless ice arrows shot towards the Ghost Vine.

Hiss …

The soft noise that was originally inaudible was amplified by several times. The Ghost Vine was injured by the ice arrow and became even more irritable. It wildly waved its vines and shot towards the four tiny humans in front of it.

That scene was like countless huge snakes twisting and turning. The timid ones would have already fainted from fear by now.

Lei Yu abruptly took a few steps back. The moment he left, several ghost vines pierced deeply into his previous position. Several retainers sucked in a breath of cold air, desperately trying to deal with the growing number of Ghost Vines in the surroundings.

"Master, we can't hold on any longer. We have to think of a way to leave this place." The remaining three were all Mysterious Masters and Lei Yu's most powerful subordinates. However, even when faced with so many Ghost Vines, they were unable to match up to them.

Lei Yu didn't look back. He suddenly pushed forward with both palms. A huge fire dragon soared into the sky and dove towards the surrounding ghost vines.

Crack, crack, crack …

The Ghost Vine was burned by the flames and emitted a continuous sound. The pressure on his three retainers lessened.

At this moment, a retainer pointed at the front left side and said, "I think the Ghost Vine over there is the least, how about we head over there?"

Everyone saw the terrifying scene in front of them. They did not plan to fight the Ghost Vine head on. As long as they could get around this place, they would succeed.

Lei Yu also nodded. He was able to advance to the Xuan General at the age of over forty. His strength and shrewdness were not to be underestimated. He knew that he would probably lose even his last few servants in the end.

Just as they were about to leave, hissing sounds came from behind them.

After a short while, the overwhelming Ghost Vines once again surrounded the few of them.

The retainers stared with wide eyes, "What the hell is that thing!"

Lei Yu didn't say a word, but his violent eyes flickered with a dangerous light. The spell in his hand continuously bombarded the Ghost Vine.

On the other hand, the Ghost Vines surged towards him like tidewaters. Lei Yu's methods were powerful, but the endless Ghost Vines seemed to be unable to cut through him.

The profound energy within the bodies of the three retainers flowed away extremely fast. If they did not rest and recover, they might not be able to charge out.

Lei Yu once again released the fire dragon and burned a wave of Ghost Vines. He raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Retreat!"

Along with his shout, the three retainers behind him quickly retreated. A jade gourd the size of a palm suddenly appeared in Lei Yu's hand.

The withering ghost vines were once again dancing wildly in the air, like a dense net spread out in the air.

Lei Yu was dressed in black and stood in front of the dense Ghost Vines. Although his expression was grave, he wasn't afraid. On the contrary, he was rather vicious.

"Go …"

Suddenly, the palm-sized jade gourd left Lei Yu's palm and quickly grew in size. In the end, it was the size of a person.

The Ghost Vine did not immediately attack. It continued to wildly dance in the air as if it was afraid of the Jade Gourd.

The Jade Gourd no longer grew bigger. While Lei Yu was pouring Xuan Energy into it to chant, the mouth of the gourd suddenly tilted, and the black liquid that was emitting a strong stench of rot landed on the dancing Ghost Vines.

Hiss …

When those Ghost Vines came in contact with something extremely terrifying, the Ghost Vines that were corroded by the black liquid could no longer be reborn. They all fell from the sky and retreated quickly.

Lei Yu immediately waved his hand upon seeing this. The jade bottle gourd became the size of a palm and he quickly put it into his pocket. Then, he turned around and left the area.

Zi Ling walked alone in the ghastly forest. Although her spiritual sense was obstructed, her keen senses allowed her to sense that the surroundings were still dangerous and hibernating.

So she took every step carefully.

Hiss … Hiss …

The voice that appeared in her ears was clearly louder than before, and she could even feel a trace of violent anger.

Suddenly … She kicked something under her foot.

He lowered his head to look. It was actually a dense pile of white bones. Zi Ling took a step back. There was no fear in her eyes. Instead, she lowered her head and sized it up for a moment.

It was a complete human skeleton. The skeleton was as white as jade. Clearly, it was a Black Tortoise with cultivation. The skeleton was still wet, so it was obvious it had just died.

Zi Ling narrowed her eyes. Just as she died, she became a skeleton. These Ghost Vines were indeed not to be underestimated.

She lifted her foot and stepped over the corpse, still walking forward at a moderate pace.

Gradually, she saw patches of black ash on the ground, and the Ghost Vines that had been following her all this time had also disappeared without a trace.

The purple silk did not lower its guard and instead became a bit more cautious. At the same time, the spiritual energy around his body became even denser. Even if there was a monster attacking him, he would be able to resist for a while.

She continued to walk forward for another three meters before the surrounding black fog suddenly dispersed. Zi Ling raised her head and saw a scene that made ordinary people's nightmares tremble in fear.

A monster that was over a hundred feet tall stood in front of them. Countless vines were scattered all around, and black pupae hung upside down from its branches. As for its roots, there were countless rotten bones.

A foul stench assaulted their noses. However, the strange tree suddenly dropped a few black pupae. The moment the black pupae fell to the ground, they were pierced by the Ghost Vines at their roots. Those Ghost Vines grew at a visible rate.

Zi Ling frowned. So it was this damned thing causing trouble.

She noticed that the ground was covered with black ash. Some of the broken Ghost Vines had traces of being burned. It was obvious that there had been a fight.

There was a reason for all living things to grow. As long as this thing did not provoke her, she did not plan to make a move. After a few glances, he turned around to leave.

It only took her a moment to get out of there, but she had already attracted the attention of the strange tree. The moment she turned around, the vines that were rapidly growing covered the sky and headed towards her.

The strange tree was severely injured and needed the flesh of these Xuan Wu cultivators to recover, so how could it be willing to let one of them go?

Hiss …

The Ghost Vines from all directions headed towards the purple silk, blocking her from the middle.

Zi Ling tilted her head to the side and looked at the strange tree, her eyes gleaming with a cold light. "You're courting death!" If he did not cause trouble for it, it would have dared to provoke him first.

As soon as his voice fell, he struck out with his palm. Icicles bloomed like a flourishing flower, freezing all of the Ghost Vines on the spot.

With her current cultivation level, using the Imprisoning Ice Lotus was no longer the same as before. A large amount of Ghost Vines had been frozen, completely devoid of their previous arrogant attitude.

The strange tree was bound up and began to twist crazily. The black pupa at its roots began to wither at an extremely fast speed. Soon after, the ghost rattan outside the black pupa shattered, revealing a pile of skeletons without flesh.

The Great Dao was merciless. This kind of scene was something she was used to. She didn't have much emotion towards. On the contrary, she began to approach step by step.

The strange tree that had absorbed all the human flesh seemed to be infused with a new energy. The Ghost Vine that had been frozen started to move.

Puff …

A Ghost Vine as thick as a python was the first to break through the ice.

Following that, with an endless "pu pu" sound, the frozen Ghost Vine regained its freedom. It crazily dashed in the air in the direction of the Purple Ribbon, as if it was trying to figure out how to eat this human.

At first, Zi Ling didn't expect the ice lotus imprisonment to be enough to deal with them. Seeing that they had regained their freedom, her expression didn't change in the slightest. She only gently pinched her fingers together before launching an attack.

At this moment, more and more Xuanwu warriors were gathering outside the ghost forest. Most of them did not dare to take a single step inside, and only a small number of experts dared to try.

Just as a group of Xuanwu warriors were about to enter the Ghost Forest, thick clouds suddenly surged above the black fog. Occasionally, thunder and lightning could be seen.

"What's that?"

Someone with sharp eyes was the first to notice that something was amiss in the Ghost Forest. He immediately cried out.

"Is it going to rain?"

Someone asked the question then continued: "Will the rain wash away the black fog here? Maybe we can go in too. "

While everyone was reacting to the scene above the forest, a group of disciples from the Divine Profound Sect had already arrived outside the forest and were staring at the forest filled with ghastly aura and the scene above.

"Senior Sister, we've been observing for so long, this place is not easy to pass through, what should we do next?"

One of the disciples from the Divine Profound Sect asked.

In this industry, Gu Yuan had the most experience. She had just personally seen a few Xuan Wu cultivators who couldn't reach the Xuan Master Stage enter. However, their flesh and blood were instantly corroded.

Although she was also a Black Tortoise Martial Disciple, there were still many Martial Brothers and Sisters behind her that had not stepped into the ranks of the Xuan Masters. What should he do?

"If only Senior Sister was here." Gu Yuan mumbled to herself. In her heart, Ye Ling was an outstanding talent and was extremely powerful. Nothing could stop her.

Zi Ling didn't even know that Gu Yuan was talking about her. After she formed the final seal, a loud rumble was heard. Large droplets of spirit rain fell from the sky. The moment the black mist made contact with the spirit rain, it was completely destroyed.

As soon as the Ghost Vines came in contact with the Spirit Rain, they seemed to have encountered something terrifying, and quickly retreated back to the vicinity of the strange tree.

Zi Ling approached step by step, and the third move in her hand was already in preparation.

World Exterminating Seal...

A huge palm descended from the sky.

"Pa …"

Countless Ghost Vines were destroyed under the seal. The strange tree let out a loud roar after being heavily injured, becoming extremely furious.

"Eh, he's actually still alive." After seeing her strongest move, although the vines of the strange tree were destroyed, the tree was not damaged in the slightest.

A hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. When the strange tree crazily threw those black pupae at her, she had already brewed the second World Exterminating Seal.

"Pa …"

The palm struck towards the roots of the strange tree. The tree trembled crazily, but it still stood firmly in its original position. From the outside, there didn't seem to be much damage.

Hm?

The doubt in Zi Ling's heart became even more intense.

From the Ghost Vines, it could be seen that this ghost thing was not indestructible. It had clearly suffered a heavy blow and was trembling in fear, but why did it look unharmed?

Zi Ling stopped in her tracks and scrutinized the strange tree before her. A thought suddenly appeared in her mind.
