The surroundings were eerie and deathly still, with only creepy rustling sounds. Hearing the sound, Ye Hao's heart was beating rapidly, as if someone was choking him. He didn't make any sound, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped.

Over there, the black fog churned and the rustling sounds were much more chaotic than before. Ye Hao held his breath and concentrated. Soon, he saw dozens of black figures of different sizes slowly appearing from within the black fog.

"This is …" As the outline became clearer, Ye Hao's heart was thrown into turmoil.

The dozens of black shadows were all different species of beasts. They were surrounded by a thick aura of death. Ye Hao was shocked to find out that the realms of these beasts were all beyond the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering.

However, it was such a powerful and terrifying group of demonic beasts, yet their current state was exactly the same as the young man who walked past them earlier. However, it was such a powerful and terrifying group of demonic beasts, but their current state was exactly the same as the young man who walked past earlier.

"What exactly is in the depths of the Black Abyss Mountain Range?"

Ye Hao's expression was extremely unnatural as he murmured. When this group of demon beasts disappeared from his sight, his whole body was already soaked in cold sweat. A chill wind blew past his body and he couldn't help but feel goosebumps on his back.

The continuous attacks made Ye Hao's mind tremble like never before. In the depths of the mountain range, there was this black fog. It was too strange and terrifying.

At the same time, many questions also appeared in Ye Hao's mind. Before he regained his consciousness, would he be like those other creatures before, walking all the way here by himself?

Also, the young man and the demonic beast horde that disappeared like walking dead, can they still be called living creatures?

When he recalled their strange appearances, he could not help but feel his hair stand on end. He quickly touched his facial features to make sure no blood was dripping out before he heaved a sigh of relief.

It was also at this moment that a ripple suddenly appeared on the lifeblood armor that enveloped his body that seemed to be solid. It visibly shrank in size. It seemed that it would completely disappear before long.

Following the disappearance of this vital energy and blood, the strange black fog that was floating around suddenly pressed toward Xiao Yan as though it had grabbed onto a gap.

"This is bad!"

The sudden turn of events caused Ye Hao's expression to change. He was very clear that the reason why he was able to recover his consciousness and not be attacked by the Black Eerie Swamp was because he relied on the protection of the blood essence hidden deep within his flesh.

He currently had no way of controlling that power. At that instant, the dense Qi and blood that enveloped his body seemed to only feel the terror of the black fog and it passively protected him.

Ye Hao could completely imagine that if this power of protection were to disappear, he would definitely become a neither human nor ghost. He would be like a walking corpse, completely lost in the depths of the Black Abyss Mountain Range.

He did not dare to delay any longer as his gaze quickly swept across the faintly discernible mountain range in the distance. After determining the direction of Black Lake City, he stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and his body shot out like an arrow that had just left the bow.

He had to break out of this demonic and terrifying black abyssal Ghost mist before the Qi and blood armor completely disappeared.

"Whiz!"

Ye Hao clenched his teeth. The veins on his forehead were popping. The wind was howling beside his ears. His body was like a black lightning, instantly moving hundreds of meters away.

The moment he moved, the ghost mist that was floating on the flat ground actually seemed to have its own will as it violently surged, as if it wanted to prevent him from escaping.

This strange scene caused Ye Hao to be extremely shocked. Just what kind of existence was this Black Abyss Ghost Fog? And how was it formed?

However, at that moment, he was not in the mood to think about that. As the black mist continued to surge forward, the Blood Aura Armor on his body became weaker and weaker. It was as if it would disappear in the next instant.

"Damn it!"

Ye Hao's speed increased once again. At the same time, he could not help but curse himself in his heart. If he could escape from this place without any delay after regaining his consciousness, he would not be in such a dangerous situation.

With this thought in mind, his entire body turned into an afterimage. His speed had already reached its limit. A clear jade-blue sky vaguely appeared in front of him.

"It's almost done. Let's hang on for a while longer!"

Just as Ye Haofeng was moving like lightning, suddenly, an extremely rich medicine fragrance shot into his nose.

The moment he smelled the fragrance, the qi and blood in Ye Hao's body immediately became active.

The current situation could be said to be a matter of life and death. He could not afford to be distracted, but the moment the medicinal fragrance entered his nose, an instinctive thirst made Ye Hao unable to control himself and cast his gaze to the right.

Over there, there was a green plant over three feet tall. It swayed slightly within the black mist. There were not many leaves on it, and it emitted a sparkling and translucent luster.

What was even more shocking was that there was a green coloured fruit that looked like it was carved out of jade hanging on the plant. It was full of vitality and had a dense medicinal fragrance that continuously spread in all directions.

"That is …" Jade Marrow Fruit? Grade three spirit medicine! " The moment he saw the plant clearly, Ye Hao's eyes widened. Amidst his shocked exclamations, there was an unconcealable shock.

The jade-green spiritual herb swaying in the wind, he had seen it in some ancient book that recorded spiritual medicines. He would never recognize it wrong.

In that instant, an unprecedented fire appeared in Ye Hao's eyes. His breathing suddenly became heavy, and even his speed slowed down.

Not to mention him, even Dao Soul Realm experts would covet and drool upon a Grade 3 elixir. It was so rare and precious that even with their entire Ye Family's resources, they only had one. Even the chief had no right to use it privately.

From this, it could be seen that a grade three spirit medicine was absolutely a priceless treasure.

At this time, Ye Hao's eyes were blazing like a burning flame. But the next moment, he suddenly thought of the environment he was in, and his expression changed.

"Damn!" "It's too late!" Looking at the weakened blood armor around him, Ye Hao cursed with a pained face. Suddenly, a 'sou' sound was heard, and Ye Hao's speed increased again.

People die for money, birds die for food.

Even though Grade 3 Elixirs were rare, they still needed to be used for their lives. Right now, the surrounding ghost fog was raging and there was no time for him to pick them.

Unless, of course, he wanted to be completely lost in this strange black mountain range.

Ye Hao clenched his teeth and forced himself not to look at the Jade Marrow Fruit. At this moment, his heart was bleeding. He was afraid that if he looked at it again, he would lose his mind and do something stupid.

Finally, after galloping for ten breaths of time, a small mountain slope filled with sunlight appeared in front of Ye Hao.

He stomped his foot heavily on the ground. Without the slightest hesitation, he charged out of the black mist, bringing with him the powerful sound of wind breaking.

Right at the moment when Ye Hao had rushed up the mountain and was gasping for breath, the Qi and blood armor that covered his body completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

With a pale face, he looked at the still churning black fog not far behind him. He could not help but feel a lingering fear in his heart, if he had been even a little bit slower, he was afraid that he would have already been like those walking dead bodies, completely lost in this place.

Thinking about this, Ye Hao didn't dare to stay any longer. He stood on top of a huge tree after he had retreated far away, looking at the place that was filled with black fog.

"This Black Abyss Mountain Range is truly evil."

Ye Hao sighed with fear. He finally understood that the legends about this horrifying mountain range were not baseless.

How exactly did this demonic and terrifying Black Abyss Ghost Fog form? As for the young man and the demonic beast lost in the ghost fog, where would they go?

Ye Hao's black eyes flickered. The only thing he was sure of right now was that this ghost fog seemed to have some sort of range limit. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to escape.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao couldn't help but rejoice. To be able to come out of this Black Abyss Ghost Mist, he was probably the first person in Black Lake City's history.

"What a pity about the Jade Marrow Fruit." After calming his mind, Ye Hao thought of the Tier 3 spiritual herb that was swaying in the black fog with a medicinal fragrance that filled the air. His face was filled with regret.

The appearance of a Grade 3 Elixir was enough to make all the top forces in Black Lake City, including the Ye Family, go completely crazy.

Ye Hao believed that if he could obtain that Jade Marrow Fruit, his cultivation level might directly soar to the perfect body refining stage, or even break through his life sea in one go. It was not impossible.

However, that Rank 3 Elixir was ultimately unobtainable. The place where it grew was covered by the black fog, making it impossible for cultivators to get close to it.

The Black Abyss Mountain Range was indeed worthy of being called a place where danger and opportunity coexisted. Although this time Ye Hao had experienced a great danger, he had still found the traces of a Grade 3 Elixir by accident.

"When will this ghost fog leave?" Following his observation, Ye Hao discovered that the rolling black fog seemed to be slowly shrinking the range and gradually entering deep into the mountain range.

If the demonic ghost mist dissipated, perhaps … He could try to harvest that Grade 3 Elixir.

Ye Hao's gaze slightly flickered. A normal person would find it hard to resist the temptation of a Grade 3 Elixir. Therefore, even though he had seen how terrifying the ghost fog was, he still had a lot of ideas in his mind.

Roar!

Just as he was hesitating, a shocking roar came from the distance.

The moment he heard the roar, Ye Hao's expression changed. Although he was lucky enough to escape from the demonic ghost fog, there were still many powerful demonic beasts in the depths of the Black Abyss Mountain Range.

Not to mention a beast at the Life Sea Realm, even a peak late stage Body Tempering stage demon beast could easily devour him.

"We can only talk about it later." Ye Hao looked at the deep mountain range filled with black fog. Then, he moved his body and rushed towards the Ye family's forest.

However, what Ye Hao did not know was that not long after he left, from the black mist deep in the mountain range, an extremely eerie laughter came out: "That is Zhi Zun blood essence? Or maybe … Tsk tsk, but compared to all of this, this is still your soul. "Everything that belongs to you will belong to me sooner or later …"

"..."

In the dense forest, Ye Hao was like an arrow flying towards the outer area. He was constantly on guard, but he didn't see any trace of beasts on the way.

After a moment of confusion, he remembered the horde of zombie-like beasts in the black fog. He bitterly smiled and shook his head.

Thinking about it, as the black fog engulfed the area, all of the demonic beasts in the depths of the forest had already lost themselves in the black fog.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao felt a little relieved. Then, his black eyes became worried as he murmured, "I wonder if Ye Ze has sent the news back to the family."

Just when Ye Hao was worrying, an extremely intense sense of danger suddenly exploded in his heart without any warning. It made his entire body tense up and he had the illusion that he was being watched by a prehistoric beast.

Ye Hao suddenly stopped moving. The qi and blood in his body suddenly exploded. His eyes were like that of an eagle's as he looked forward with incomparable sharpness.

Over there, a young man with an extraordinary demeanor, akin to a dragon among men, was currently flying over in his direction.

It was Ye Tianlin.
