"Humph!" If they knew, why did they still let them go? I said it before, you and the beautiful guy can both be infected by the gray-robed man, so it's not strange that they would appear here. "
"Do you want to say how scary it is to plant a Gu?" Besides, didn't you already help me find that thing? How did they even know where I was? Ah, it can't be that your skills are too poor and you failed to finish it, right? Ye Cheng looked at Peony from head to toe in disbelief. He then looked back at his own silhouette and touched his own body.
Her methods were not wrong. Logically speaking, since she already dispelled the parasite last time, she shouldn't have left a tail behind, but that also caused Ah San, Mountain and the others to be trapped in the illusion of a gray-robed. However, when she brought them out, she carefully examined them and nothing abnormal happened.
Out of pride, Peony swore to clear up this matter. She was the descendant of an orthodox Maoshan Warlock, and she definitely could not allow her sect to be disgraced.
Thinking of this, Peony stomped her feet and picked up a broken thorn from the ground. She took out a small blue line from the thorn and placed it in the box under her compass. Then, she threw it into the air.
The compass was used to refute the direction, so that people wouldn't lose their way in the mountains and forests. Peony Compass was a treasure. Not only could it determine directions, it could also point out the locations of ghosts.
After the compass spun in the air, it started to spin. After spinning a few times, it fell to the ground with a thud. After opening the lid, the needle of the southeast turned around a few times and then pointed to the north.
"This isn't scientific!" Ye Cheng shouted as he widened his eyes.
She pointed the compass in the direction the five men had left, but she also pointed north. Looking in that direction, she saw that it was a low valley, a plain that extended from the ridge and connected with the sea. From a high vantage point, it was a no-man's-land, the valley where the intricate vegetation and mountains had merged into one another was smoldering with white smoke.
"Ye Cheng used the map on his phone to determine the location of the valley, but the strange thing was that he couldn't find the source of the valley from the map. He looked at Peony, who could only shake her head in confusion. I can only say that this place is true. "
The five players were currently in the valley, but their destination was the villa at the top of the mountain. Suddenly, the two of them had no choice but to fall into a difficult position.
A man came down from the mountain carrying an empty basket passed by the two of them, making them look as if they had stopped in their tracks. They wanted to give Ye Cheng and the others guidance, but did not expect to be asked about the valley below with white smoke rising from it.
In the end, the two decided to let Ye Cheng go down the valley to track the five climbers. Peony would head to the top of the mountain to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the Three Corpses Ghosts.
Although four hours was more than enough time for the two of them, Ye Cheng still did not understand why they would need to return before noon. With a smile, made a silent gesture and said in a low voice, "This is the time the gates of hell open, it's near the sea, and those bewitching things at the bottom of the sea would come out of the sea to pull people into the sea at this point of time."
Ye Cheng trembled. This girl did not want him to be peaceful in the daytime, he did not get anything out of her, but he still believed her words. In the end, Peony handed him the Anti-Evil Cinnabar Token, which he hung around his neck.
After rowing down the mountain ridge for less than half an hour, Ye Cheng had reached the valley.
From the bottom to the top, the Great Eastern Mountain was extremely steep, and was not as peaceful as they had thought it to be on the map. It was probably because they had chosen to jump onto a road that was very close to the top, and the jungle here was dense and weedy, and the ground under their feet was extremely soft and hard to move, but it was much easier compared to the Xishuangbanna's jungle.
After splitting open the branches, Ye Cheng entered the valley. The white mist seemed to have come from the forest in front, the heat in the air seemed to have become brighter, and the anti-natural climate seemed to be more suspicious than the mountain.
There was a distance of about three to four meters between the edges of the valley and the bottom. Ye Cheng realized that the further he went, the more he lost sight of the birds and insects, and it was as if the white mist had formed a clear boundary with the outside world, isolating these living beings. The air also became thinner and thinner as the white mist neared him, he could even smell a kind of indescribable smell.
The sour rot had a strong musky smell, a bit like a love affair with a man, but a little bit different, and something like that was the smell of the animal when it was in heat.
Ye Cheng frowned, this smell was truly strange. Looking at how they were carrying their husbands just now, maybe there really was some kind of monster hiding in the valley, and it was just the gray-robed. Were they not here for the Three Corpses?
Using the fastest speed he could muster to go around the valley, Ye Cheng discovered that the fog in the southeast corner was thinner, so he tried to go inside, but before long, he found a corpse. When he flipped over the corpse, it looked like it had been burned by the high temperature, and his face was filled with blisters that were extremely shocking.
Ye Cheng took off this person's jacket, and realized that the person's life was instantly taken away by the high temperature. He subconsciously touched the person's chest, and a puzzled voice came out. The subordinates of the gray-robed man were all invisible, how could this person have a heart? He's clearly a person! "
The deeper they went, the more Ye Cheng discovered two more corpses on the mountain. Furthermore, the degree of burning at such a high temperature was getting more and more severe. Three of the five were already dead. From their movements, they were walking in a straight line, about three meters away from the place where they died. If they guessed correctly, there would be a fourth corpse in front of them.
He took off the last person's clothes, and under the fabric, his body turned into pus that seeped into the soil. The smell in the air was disgusting.
All these people were instantly burnt to death, but why did he not feel anything along the way? Ye Cheng stared ahead suspiciously as he spasmed. The less danger there was, the more dangerous the place would be.
Ye Cheng stood up, took a deep breath, and used his body to feel the entire ravine. The white mist floating in the air was indeed warm and scorching, but it did not reach the point where it could burn a person to death.
Thinking about that, Ye Cheng squinted his eyes. There was no wind coming from the hole, gray-robed man must have sent these few people here for a reason, he took off the clothes of the dead bodies and disguised as a mountain climber to continue walking, in his mind he did not receive any attack, not because he was powerful, but because the other side had a choice.
Sure enough, before Ye Cheng had walked very far, he had already felt the intense high temperature attack from the right side of his body, and at the same time as he pushed the defense of the metal Yang energy in his body, he fell and rolled two rounds at the same time. He stuck close to the ground and fled behind the direction of the attack.
Human!
After Ye Cheng determined that the other party was a person, he clapped his hands and pushed forward, moving closer to the ground as the temperature around him decreased. Unexpectedly, Ye Cheng who was able to make full use of this point, only realized that it was not easy for him who was tall and slender, and the visibility under the white mist was very low.
Ye Cheng closed his eyes, the air in the white mist was extremely harmful to his eyes, and before long, his tears were being forced out by the harmful substances in the white mist, he could only use his hearing as a defense against the white mist.
Under the judgement of having lost his eyesight, he used his perception to refute his surroundings. Very quickly, he discovered a strange place, where the white mist was not floating about freely, but was moving up in a spiral direction from left to right. As the white mist sank, he could vaguely feel the existence of the particles on his skin.
Ye Cheng carelessly waved his hand, his skin was covered with layers of ice crystals and he was suddenly shocked, could it be her?
Jumping up from the ground, Ye Cheng took off the mountain suit on his body and quickly rushed into the heart of the white mist. Without waiting for to do anything, he fell into a pool of water.
Ye Cheng gulped down a few mouthfuls of water in a panic before he floated out of the water and his eyes shone brightly. The entire white mist surrounded the pool, and on the other side of the pool, he discovered the fourth corpse.
"Chen Luoxue, come out here!"
The moment he noticed the water, Ye Cheng immediately decided on what he wanted to do, and shouted towards the empty area around him.
No one replied Ye Cheng, it was just that the white mist was gradually dispersing, and quickly returned to how it used to be. The forest and mountains became clear again, and the corpses that had fallen beside the pond started to melt, and the blood that had solidified into ice slowly flowed out of the body.
"Don't go!"
A sorrowful sigh rang out. As the white mist dispersed, the sighs also grew further and further away.
Ye Cheng suddenly charged into the forest, and followed the voice that had already become so faint it was impossible to catch up to it. He arrived in the depths of the forest, and saw a black figure hung high above the treetops, like a dying person with both of his arms powerlessly hanging by his sides, his head tilted to the side.
Ye Cheng walked to this person's feet, and blood flowed out from his chest, drop by drop, onto the ground. The man's left hand was clenched into a fist, his right hand was still hanging from something, and his empty eyes were fixed in a certain direction with the fear of the moment before his death.
The person was the only person that Ye Cheng could recognize. The heart in his chest had been dug out, leaving behind a hole, from then on there were no other fatal injuries, the wound cut into his mouth, the strange thing was that the wound had formed a spiral shaped wound, it was similar to a spinning blade, and did not seem like a method Chen Luoxue usually used.
