Chapter 10: The Aura of Death!

  Ling Wu's eyebrows slightly raised, "What is that?"

  It's better to know more about it, and then you'll be more confident when you go in.

  Zhan Qi thought for a moment, his face calm and serene as he slowly spoke out, "According to the person who escaped, once you reach a certain level, all of your mysterious powers will be lost, making you no different from a useless person. Not even saints are an exception."

  And also, it's said that there are some really terrifying things along the way. Uncle Hong added a sentence.

  "All his internal energy has been depleted!?" The crowd was shocked.

  In such a dangerous place, even if it's a strong saint, entering there can only barely protect oneself. If the mysterious power is exhausted, isn't that just a dead end?

  "What's the reason?" Ling Wu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  Zhan Xiu also looked at his father in confusion, he had never heard anyone mention it before.

  Zhan Qi pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "No one knows the specific reason, but the Saint Realm expert who walked out alive only spoke a few words before falling into a coma again. His profound strength was completely exhausted. What exactly happened can only be understood by going inside."

  Zhang Yi's face was serious, he nodded and exchanged a glance with Zhan Qi, "It can only be like this, let's go in and take a look at the situation first. If it's really difficult and the situation is not favorable, we can still retreat later."

  They are indeed searching for treasures on the edge of life and death, but they will not make a joke out of the lives of the entire tribe.

  "That's right" Zhan Qi smiled and nodded, "Most people have already set off, we can't fall behind too much."

  This was also what he thought in his heart, go and get a clear understanding of the situation first, it's not too late to make plans afterwards.

  Ling Wu's hands stroked his chin thoughtfully as he stood to one side, wondering what the reason was that would cause someone to lose all their spiritual power. Could it be that there were minerals that could absorb spiritual energy?

  "Don't worry so much" Zhan Xiu smiled and patted Ling Wudao's shoulder, "Our nomadic tribe has explored countless dangers, just stick close to the main force later and nothing will happen"

  Even if there is a situation, with their experience, they can still withdraw safely and in time.

  Ling Wushuang smiled and didn't answer again.

  All the major tribes and various forces gathered here, and there were also many hidden forces. After a day of preparation, everyone walked towards the central area of Luoshen Forest, in the direction of Riyuetan!

  With such a large army, there are not a few strong saints, and thousands of top-notch players in the Tianxuan realm. Along the way, even if they encounter ordinary sacred beasts, they will retreat three times, so at first, it was very calm, without any major waves.

  Having entered the Fallen Sun Forest to such an extent, the heavenly treasures and earthly riches along the way are naturally not few. The places where the great army has passed through have all been thoroughly plundered. It's worth knowing that even ordinary exploration teams or even high-ranking saints wouldn't dare venture this deep in normally. Now that such a good opportunity has arisen, of course no one would miss it.

  Even if it's a mediocre force, being in a large group can still yield quite a few good things, of course, that depends on one's own luck.

  "Inside the Forest of Sunset, spiritual treasures are indeed gathering, this time it's really happening"

  "It's just that I've only walked a short distance and the precious medicinal herb ore in my hand is already too much to hold, previously I wouldn't have dared to think about it, this adventure was worth it"

  "But with our strength, let's stop here, I think it's better not to go deeper, just turn back"

  ……

  Thousands of people in a large team, very concentrated, but also divided into many small teams according to different forces, and each major force has its own affiliated minor forces behind it.

  This is absolute, there isn't a strong team willing to lead and have a weak small team follow behind them to scramble for various treasures. As a result, many people who are aware that they don't have enough strength and aren't willing to take risks leave halfway.

  "Waaaah——"

  A distant roar echoed through the air, causing the ground beneath to tremble slightly. An inexplicable killing aura also faintly emanated from the atmosphere.

  "Wail"

  The team of the Vagabond Tribe also had a few Xuan Beasts, and even some that were at the Sacred Realm level. Upon hearing this roar, they couldn't help but tremble with fear.

  "Stop!" The people walking in the front, Zhang Yi and others, immediately stopped in their tracks.

  Zhang Yi gazed in the direction of the roar and said in a low voice, "From this momentum, it's at least a high-ranking Sacred Domain Xuan Beast."

  "Uh, let's avoid this direction and cut over from the other side." Zhan Qi nodded in agreement. Along the way, they encountered some Sacred Domain Xuan beasts, but the highest level ones were only mid-tier. However, if they were to encounter a high-tier Sacred Domain Xuan beast, they would be at a disadvantage.

  "Hmm" Just as a mid-tier Sacred Realm Xuan Beast rushed out, they had to endure a bitter struggle. Moreover, they needed to conserve their strength and couldn't afford to fight head-on, so if they could avoid it, they would.

  Fortunately, they were not going to the place where the most powerful and ferocious beasts in Riyuetan gathered.

  "Grandfather, Grandfather" Yu Wei stood trembling beside the elder, listening to the distant roar of the mysterious beast and looking around at the inky blackness, her heart inexplicably shaking.

  After the last time's mouse group, she really knew that this place was not as simple as she had imagined, and everyone's mouth-to-mouth treasure hunt was not as easy and fun as they said. As for following out this time, even her intestines regretted it.

  Yu Wei followed closely behind her grandfather, "It's nothing." The elder's face was calm and quiet, but he was also very regretful for bringing his granddaughter out. He had completely underestimated the danger of this trip.

  "Grandpa, I...I want to go back." Yu Wei was scared and finally couldn't help but cry with a sad face, speaking out the fear in her heart.

  She doesn't want anything now, she just wants to go back!

  "Elder scolded, "Don't be reckless!" Facing his usually spoiled granddaughter, he also turned cold, "I told you not to follow, but you didn't listen."

  It's already gotten this far in; if Yuwei wants to return safely, at least two Saints need to follow her, but the current situation clearly doesn't allow for that.

  In the midst of the vagabond tribe, several holy ranks were core figures. How could it be that at this time, they would send someone to escort Yuwei back, even if it was a small team from Tianxuan, leaving alone? If they weren't careful, in the end, they would only be left with dead bones. After thinking about it carefully, the elder still felt that bringing Yuwei along would be much safer.

  "What's going to happen now?" Yu Wei's expression was on the verge of tears.

  "Go, catch up!" The old man looked at the large troop that had already set off and followed them, comforting them by saying: "Stay close to Grandpa's side, don't worry, nothing will happen."

  Yu Wei looked around at the pitch-black surroundings, gritted her teeth, and could only follow along.

  "Squad leader, have you noticed that the surrounding silence is a bit abnormal? It's as if there's no living thing around." Hong Shu cautiously looked around, and surprisingly, they hadn't encountered a single dark beast on this entire journey.

  "It's a bit strange" Zhan Qi nodded, but for a moment, he couldn't quite put his finger on what was off.

  Musō, looking at you, it seems like you're not worried at all. Warashū chuckled lightly as he looked at the person beside him.

  Ling Wusuo walked at the front of the team, his lazy demeanor making it seem as if he was strolling through his own backyard garden, leaving everyone in shock.

  Ling Wushuang turned back with a faint smile, "What's the use of worrying?"

  Having come all this way, it can only be a case of meeting a challenge and dismantling it, worrying that the problem still cannot be solved.

  Zhan Xiu was stunned, speechless for a moment.

  "Little girl, you've got some nerve!" Hong Shu and the others took a few steps forward, walking up to Ling Wusuo's side, bursting out laughing. Who would have thought that after spending his whole life in the Sunset Forest, he would be surpassed by a little girl?

  Behind them, a tribe of vagrants and some other forces, a line of thousands of people, torches illuminated the sky.

  "I knew you'd be arrogant" Yu Wei said to Ling Wu Shuang's calm and collected demeanor, clearly displeased. She hummed lightly and turned her head away, "You can keep pretending then."

  Ling Wushuang's eyes lightly turned, gazing at Yu Wei. A hint of a smile seemed to flicker in her clear eyes, making Yu Wei feel a chill run down her spine for no reason. Her red lips curled up slightly, just as Ling Wushuang was about to speak, when suddenly she stopped in her tracks, "Wait a minute."

  At the same time, Zhan Qi and others also discovered that something was wrong. Hong Shu immediately raised his hand to pass on the order, and everyone immediately fell silent. In just a few seconds, only heavy breathing could be heard, which was enough to show that they were usually well-trained.

  However, as everyone quieted down, the surrounding noise suddenly became clear, and it was like the sound of a rising tide.

  "Not good, retreat quickly!" Zhan Qi suddenly widened his eyes and loudly shouted. Along the way, he was calm as him, but at this time, his voice actually had a hint of trembling, "How could we encounter such a deadly thing?"

  "Fall back! Retreat!"

  Everyone, retreat quickly in the direction you came from!

  "Rustle, rustle"

  The surrounding sounds grew louder, the rustling and whispering sounds, as if millions of snakes were moving through the dark night, the chaotic retreat of the crowd could not cover up the increasingly frightening movements.

  "Musō, hurry up!" The war god's expression was stern and murderous, he had rarely seen his father with such a tense look, although he didn't know what the situation was yet, it must be extremely ominous.

  "Whoosh——"

  Suddenly, a thick vine as thick as an arm cut off the road, with sharp thorns all over it, dark and black like molten iron, like a ferocious giant snake, rushing out of the dense forest.

  "Oni-tou, it's Oni-tou!"

  Right after that, a pitch-black vine burst out, shocking everyone's face pale. They had actually entered a ghostly vine forest!

  "Damn it, as expected it's this thing!" Zhan Qi was still relatively calm, shouting in a low voice, "We haven't gone deep yet, retreat quickly!"

  Kui is a terrifying existence in the Xuan Beast Forest, one of the few spiritual plants that exist in this world. The vines are as hard as steel, and a large area of Kui can easily kill high-ranking saints!

  The demon vine entwines people, and will not rest until death!

  Now, a group of people has unknowingly entered a silent and eerie forest of ghostly vines, where the hope of survival is extremely slim.

  "Humming"

  Gigantic black ghost vines like snakes constantly emerged from the surroundings, rushing towards the retreating crowd, covering the sky and burying them instantly.

  "It's too late!" Zhang Yi's face turned iron-gray, a ghostly vine suddenly appeared by his side, he didn't have time to dodge, and his arm was instantly torn off a piece of skin!

  "Ah!"

  Kui's speed was so fast that ordinary people couldn't even react, and screams kept coming from the crowd. In the blink of an eye, some weaker people were stabbed to death like sieves.

  "Father, is there a way?" Zhan Xiu drew his long spear and swept away the ghost vines that were entwining around them like snakes, leading the crowd to charge out in the direction they came from. "This won't work, we can't break through like this."

  Just cut off one path, and then, even more swarmed in, blocking the way back so tightly that it was airtight.

  "Clang!"

  Ordinary weapons are useless against Kuiyin, it's like scratching an itch for him, all around is a sea of sounds of weapons cutting through steel and iron bones!

  "No way out, can only charge" Zhan Qi's expression turned solemn and murderous, his entire body's aura had been raised to the extreme.

  There is only one way, go all out and tear open a gap!

  Guī Téng appeared for less than a few dozen seconds, and Hóng Shū, who was the ninth-grade Tian Xuān, had already suffered quite a few injuries, with his entire arm covered in blood. The extent of the others' casualties can be imagined.

  Ink-black wisteria vines are increasingly numerous, covering the sky and earth, rapidly shuttling back and forth, flying horizontally and vertically in disarray. In the dark night's setting sun forest, they are like malevolent spirits that snatch lives away, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, coming and going freely, entwining people, and becoming like a maggot in one's heel bone, only stopping when death arrives!

  Ling Wushuang's calm and collected face didn't show much panic, her expression was stern and murderous. Her petite body agilely dodged the ghost vines that were wrapping around her, quickly asking: "What weaknesses does it have?"

  She had never seen anything like it before.

  Zhang Yi cut off a black ghost vine wrapped around his waist with one knife, and quickly replied: "This thing is afraid of fire, it will burn when it meets fire, but the burning temperature is extremely terrifying."

  "Can't set fire!" War repair a daze, the firm face, was cut open a blood mouth by a ghost vine, regardless of the pain, his hand quickly grasped, tore down, and said in a deep voice: "If you set fire, no one can get out"

  Let go and fight to the death, there is still a glimmer of hope; setting fire can only lead to self-destruction.

  Everyone knows this point, otherwise they would not have delayed taking action.

  "It can't go on like this" Ling Wu's eyes gleamed with a hint of depth, she knew that in a place like this, arson and suicide were no different, it wasn't a wise choice, let alone the fact that this thing was prone to catching fire.

  "Ah..."

  The scene was chaotic, with the eerie ghost vines stretching out, baring their teeth and claws, swallowing and drowning everything, getting tighter and tighter, and the space for people to move around was getting smaller and smaller.

  "Ah!"

  Yu Wei's face turned pale, being dragged by the elder, like a broken wooden puppet, she was completely stunned, frightened and lost her composure, only knowing to let out a scream.

  "I want to go back, I want to go back!" As she gazed at the ghostly vines that were twisting and turning towards her, dense and numerous like thousands of twisted snakes, Yu Wei couldn't bear it anymore and finally collapsed, lying limp on the ground, wailing loudly, "I don't want to leave, I want to go back!"

  "Yu Wei, don't be reckless!" The elder grabbed her arm, trying to pull Yu Wei up.

  At this time, everyone was busy with their own affairs and had no time to protect others. If it weren't for the Great Elder being there, the stupid Rui Wei would have died countless times already.

  "I don't want to! I want to go back!" Yu Wei only thought about returning to the base, and then never coming out again.

  Although she was born in a vagabond tribe and had considerable strength, having never gone on a mission before, she encountered such a situation for the first time, and her fearful mentality made her unable to think of any resistance.

  "Ah!"

  The old man turned around and pinched off the ghost vine behind him with one palm, and his arms, which were pinching something on both sides, suddenly pulled hard, but loosened in vain!

  "Grandpa!"

  Yu Wei's face turned pale, and she let out a miserable cry before being engulfed by the ghost vines behind her, disappearing from sight in an instant.

  "Yu Wei!" The old man's eyes widened as he watched his granddaughter disappear before his eyes, and his eyes turned bright red with anxiety, but he was powerless to stop it. He let out a hoarse cry, but just as he did, he was also entwined by the ghostly vines surrounding him!

  However, as a saint, he was not without the power to counterattack, and soon struggled out, although his whole body was covered in wounds, but they were not fatal.

  "Flying Eagle Slash!" War Xiu launched an attack, and the dense ghost vines covering the sky temporarily cleared out a region. He then turned around and gave a signal to the person beside him, "Wu Shuang, you leave first!"

  Musou can transform her vital energy into wings, she wants to leave, it's still very easy.

  Ling Wushuang dodged to the side, avoiding the entanglement of several ghost vines, and shook her head firmly.

  "Musou!" War God's voice became even more urgent.

  "Quickly, Ling Wusuo!" Hong Shu and Zhang Yi and others, in just this short time, were somewhat unable to cope. Several people looked around at the increasingly numerous ghost vines, and with a simultaneous gesture, indicated that Ling Wusuo should go first.

  "Maybe I have a way," Ling Wu's eyes lit up slightly, and she whispered a sentence, it could only be tried.

  "What?" Several people around looked puzzled.

  Ling Wushuang didn't have time to explain, her eyes quickly scanned around and finally fixed on a spot with a hint of certainty.

  "Commander of the war group, let everyone retreat in this direction!" Ling Wushuang swung his arm and pointed the Flame Spear in his hand towards a dense forest, "Hurry up!"

  "That place——" Zhan Qi's eyebrows furrowed intensely.

  "Has she gone mad?!" The people around her exclaimed in unison as they desperately resisted the deadly, entwining ghost vines.

  That place is where the ghost vines are most densely packed. Isn't this sending them to their deaths? They should return by the original route now, in order to have a glimmer of hope for survival!

  "Father, listen to Wú Shuāng!" Zhàn Xiū swung his sword in a wide arc, taking advantage of the opportunity to shout out a sentence, he believed in Wú Shuāng.

  Zhan Qi was only slightly stunned, his hand holding a weapon pointing in the direction of Ling Wu Shuang, and he ordered: "Charge"

  Although everyone was puzzled, they could only grit their teeth and charge in that direction with a hard scalp after being ordered.

  "Explode!"

  With a concerted effort, they struck with all their might and blasted open a gap several feet wide. The dense, twisted ghostly energy writhed and rubbed against each other, producing the sound of crackling and popping like the snapping of rotten wood.

  Ling Wu's eyes suddenly focused, urging the vital energy of thousands of miles of vines to move, her slender hands quickly waving towards the surrounding dense forest!

  "Hmm——"

  Seeing the torn crack, it quickly closed again, and everyone's heart was filled with despair. However, what happened next made people's eyes widen in shock. In the dark, rocky ghost vines, a thread of emerald green color was spreading out at a speed visible to the naked eye, entwining itself with the ferocious ghost vines!

  "Rustling and crackling"

  Among the lush and dense trees, there are constantly sprouting emerald green vines growing rapidly, like the power of life in the dark night, making the desperate hearts of the people suddenly surge with a glimmer of light.

  Ling Wushuang exerted all his strength, mobilizing the power of life. The emerald green vines grew wildly, entwining with the black ghost vines, tearing open the gap even wider. More and more emerald green vines grew, making the gap bigger and bigger!

  "Hurry up!"

  Ling Wushuang's low growl had barely faded when someone was already sprinting towards the torn opening.

  "Chirp"

  Emerald vines and jet-black devil creepers tore at each other, letting out mournful wails like those of a xuan beast being swallowed.

  "Charge!"

  Hurry up

  Everyone rushed towards the crack paved with lush green vines and soon escaped.

  "Musō, let's hurry!" War Shū and War Ki, among others, had cut off the path for those in front of them. Seeing that everyone was safe, they quickly turned around and rushed towards the passage that was about to close!

  Ling Wushuang's two legs kicked out, and she jumped out. She turned around, her arm sank, and the green vines not far away grew several times faster. The power of Qianli Qitian inside her body rapidly rotated, and the surrounding trees grew rapidly.

  Several trees merged together, completely blocking the ghost vines' path of extension. The row of people behind also safely escaped and left.

  "What a close call!" Zhan Xiu finally escaped and let out a long sigh of relief, "What a close call!"

  His resolute face had only a faint blood stain, and in such a short period of time, the injuries on his body had almost recovered. It was clear that the Sacred Heart Dan he took a few days ago still had an effect.

  A group of people fled far away for several miles before they dared to stop.

  Zhang Yi and others escaped, looking back at the dense and dark clouds that had completely submerged the sky, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines, "It's really too terrifying, it's deadly"

  I had heard of Kui Tōrin before, but I never thought that this time I would actually run into them.

  Although most of the troops had escaped, there were still some weak people who couldn't hold on and were entwined by the ghost vines to die.

  Some people who followed the nomadic tribe, wanting to find treasure, have experienced such a situation, and many of them want to retreat, after all, life is more important than treasure.

  "Yu Wei, Yu Wei" The great elder stared at the distant Ghost Vine Forest, his expression a mix of sorrow, hatred and madness, while the crowd around him was too busy to notice him.

  It's all because of these people, they didn't protect Ruwei well! It's all their fault!

  "Thanks to you this time, Ling Wudao!" Hong Shu was a bit disheveled but had narrowly escaped death. Now that he had relaxed a bit, he gazed at Ling Wudao with gratitude and chuckled: "This old bones of mine has been saved by you twice now!"

  This little girl could have left alone, but she didn't. This kindness is heavy.

  Ling Wushuang smiled slightly, with a firm glint in his eyes. "We are a team, this is what I should do."

  The moment she joined this group of people was a member of this team.

  "Good, well said." War Qi's expression was a mix of gratitude and admiration. "I, War Qi, will remember today's kindness."

  If it weren't for this little girl being here today, I'm afraid not many of these people would have made it out alive.

  "But how did you manage to do it?" Hong Shu and others were puzzled by Ling Wushuang's recent move.

  She can actually summon something equivalent to Kuijin, which is really unbelievable.

  "Right, Musou" War Shu also nodded thoughtfully, that day when he met Tie Xiong at the garrison, he was very curious.

  Ling Wushuang chuckled and recited offhand: "This is a secret method, a special mysterious skill that has been lost for a long time."

  "So that's how it is" The crowd suddenly enlightened, "What a formidable mysterious skill"

  Just then, Zhan Xiuzhen looked at Ling Wushuang's smiling face and slightly pursed her lips, expressing skepticism towards Ling Wushuang's words.

  "Squad leader, are we going to continue on the road?" Zhang Yi's face was heavy with concern. They were advancing forward and didn't retreat, so they just said a few words. From here, they were already very close to their destination.

  Zhan Qi thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Continue advancing"

  Having come all this way and braved such dangers, we cannot turn back now.

  Among the thousands of people on this line, there are many other forces mixed in, and at this time, they are also entangled.

  "It's already this dangerous before we've even arrived. If we continue on like this, with our current strength, I think there's only one path to death."

  "Let's go back, I think. We can avoid this haunted forest and head back. No treasure is worth more than our lives."

  "Let's go on, the treasures I've obtained along this road are more than what I got in half my lifetime. An opportunity like this is not to be missed! Besides, with so many experts around, what's there to fear? Didn't we just get through that danger?"

  ……

  After this episode, some people wanted to retreat, while others' astonishment was thoroughly awakened, and they looked forward to their destination even more. Finally, when everyone set off again, there were several hundred fewer people.

  The wanderer tribe people are still walking in the front, but after passing through the ghost vine forest just now, their actions have become more cautious.

  Beyond this area, going deeper for a dozen miles or so, we approached our destination.

  Because at the beginning of the departure, everyone chose their own route and did not take the same route. As we got closer, some teams that had split up along the way also slowly gathered here. However, from the number of people, it has already decreased by more than half.

  "Damn it, the route we chose actually encountered a high-ranking Sacred Domain Xuan Beast. If not for the last elder of the Holy Temple taking action, we would have probably ended up here."

  "Finally arrived, this time if I can't find some good treasures, I would really be disappointed"

  "It's really close, almost lost my life"

  ……

  On the side, in the dense forest, a noisy crowd of several hundred people from the Iron Wolf tribe and some other forces rushed out quickly, looking very disheveled, and the danger along the way could be seen from this.

  "We're here, this is the place!" Zhang Yi's face was calm and quiet, he took a last look at the map in his hand, then put it away, his eyes cautiously scanning the surroundings.

  "Go left for a few miles and you'll reach the Riyuetan, be extremely careful, this is the place indicated by the map we got."

  As far as the eye can see, it's endless. The sky is dark and gloomy, not the normal black of night, but a dusty grey haze.

  The surrounding air, seemingly nonexistent, emitted a strange aura, transitioning from lush and thriving to withered and lifeless, appearing eerie in the process.

  Grey, black, as if endless, large tracts of land are covered with black sand grains, sparse towering ancient trees, all dry and lifeless, the ground is paved with layers of withered yellow pine needles, soft and fluffy underfoot, already withered for countless years.

  "A strange place" Ling Wu Shuang stepped forward, treading on a soft patch of ground, and a strange feeling surged up in his heart. The power of the thousand-mile-long vines within him began to rotate rapidly without him realizing it, as if resisting the invasion of the surrounding air.

  Zhan Xiu walked up to Ling Wu Shuang's side, his stern eyebrows slightly furrowed, and nodded: "It is very strange, I feel that there is a strange power in the air, as if it is devouring my Xuanli."

  It's already like this on the outskirts, and it can be imagined what kind of situation it would be if one were to venture deeper. No wonder Father said that this place is eerie.

  "Look, it's an Energy Stone!"

  People kept arriving one after another, and there were more and more of them, with exclamations of surprise coming from all around.

  Ling Wushuang looked over in the direction of the sound, her clear eyes widening slightly, "It really is an Energy Stone"

  Not far away, on the pitch-black sand grains, a bright and dazzling piece of light shone like a starry sky, with countless energy stones scattered all over the ground. Although they were the most ordinary ones, each one was worth more than 10,000 taels of gold. Who would complain about having too many?

  And what's more, the peripheral energy stones are visible everywhere, and the treasures inside are self-evident!

  "Hurry up and pick it up!"

  "My god, I'm not seeing things, is that an energy stone mountain range?!"

  A group of people, swarming towards the black sandy land, gazing at the scattered energy stones, their eyes burning with excitement. The excited chatter of the crowd made this once quiet land seem somewhat eerie.

  "What's going on? What happened?" Suddenly, one of the people who rushed in the fastest collapsed to the ground.

  "I, I've run out of energy" Afterwards, several high-ranking monks, for some unknown reason, suddenly had their spiritual energy inexplicably drained, their faces turned somewhat dark, as if they had aged tens of years in an instant, their skin rapidly withering, like tree bark.

  "I also feel like I'm having some trouble breathing"

  "What's going on? The primordial energy all over my body can hardly be mobilized"

  "Me too"

  ……

  Some people with shallow strength, seeing this situation, quickly retreat from the area, their faces filled with terror. These people followed and mixed in, just wanting to take advantage of the situation to get some treasure, without thinking about fighting for their lives.

  "It's indeed the case" Zhan Qi gazed out at the desolate and lifeless black earth, not making a move like others. Behind him were the remaining hundreds of elite from the Wanderer Tribe, standing by in wait.

  "I understand." Ling Wu's tightly furrowed eyebrows suddenly moved.

  "What?" Zhan Xiuyu heard Ling Wusuo's words and quickly looked at her.

  "Despair!" Ling Wu Xiang slowly spat out two words.

  As soon as she arrived here, the power of Senri Chito quickly became active in her body. This suffocating aura was a dead energy that contradicted Senri Chito's life force, no doubt about it!

  However, why would such a terrifying aura of death appear in this place? This is what puzzles Ling Wu Shuang.

  "What's going on?" War Qi and others were somewhat perplexed.

  Ling Wushuang simply nodded, and didn't say anything else. The aura of death here had no effect on her, but for these people, it would be somewhat difficult to resist. Even if they were at the Saint level, they couldn't afford to be careless.

  But with her there, it's a different story!

  "To enter, it's probably a bit difficult. People below Tian Xuan's level are better off staying here and not following in." Zhang Yi's face was calm, since they had already arrived at this place, wasn't it worth exploring to see what's going on? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

  Ling Wushuang had her hands clasped behind her back, one hand pinching her chin, carefully sizing up the surroundings. Her pure white boots tapped lightly on the ground covered with dry pine needles, her clear eyes sparkling as if lost in thought.

  A group of vagrants were discussing their next move when a sarcastic voice came from the side: "What, are you guys afraid to go in?"

  The voice was rough and hoarse, with a hint of disdainful sarcasm.

  The Medicine Saint and his group, who had arrived from the rear, looked at the vagabond tribe's group that was still stuck in place and hadn't entered, with a somewhat complacent smile. "I thought the people of the Vagabond Tribe were so brave and fearless, but it turns out they're all just timid and afraid of trouble."

  Obviously, Zhang Qibang's affairs with Ling Wushuang have been resented by Yao Sheng. As soon as his team arrived, they couldn't help but mock him a bit.

  The Medicine Saint burst out laughing, "What's this, are you preparing to admit defeat and leave? However, this is indeed the wisest choice."

  Zhan Xiu heard the words, his thick black eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he looked in the direction of the sound. The group of people led by Yao Sheng, although only numbering over a hundred, surprisingly had dozens of Saint-level cultivators, while the rest were all high-stage Tianxuan! Clearly, they too had come prepared.

  "The Medicine Saint's words are too rash," War Qi said, his voice low and even. "Since we've all come this far, whatever we can get, we'll each rely on our own abilities!"

  The Medicine Saint seemed to have not expected this at the moment, glanced at them with a look of disdain and contempt, lightly swept his sleeve, and walked away in another direction, humming softly to himself, "Relying on these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they actually think they can rush into this place, it's simply ignorant of their own death"
