    Chapter 143

    The practitioners from the Central Continent ran over to the place where the screams were located.

    When they passed through the jungle, they immediately saw a dead wood standing in front of the woods. The trunk of the dead tree grows distorted in a very strange posture. The color of the whole tree is like dead wood that has been burned by fire.

    From a distance, these dead trees without leaves look like monsters with claws and claws.

    Taking a quick glance, their eyes fell on the group of practitioners in the inner sea area.

    I saw them standing under a dead tree, their bodies tense, holding weapons and subconsciously taking a defensive posture.

    "What happened?" Tang Shaolin asked.

    The practitioners in the inner sea turned their heads, and seeing them, they all made way for them to see clearly.

    Everyone walked over, just to see a cultivator lying under the dead tree, his hands tightly covering his heart, his hands were covered with blood, and the clothes on his heart were also bloody. The man's face was ominous dark blue, his mouth was open, and he made a ho-ho sound, looking very painful.

    Just when they arrived, the cultivator's vitality suddenly disappeared, his skin quickly turned blue-gray, and he fell to the ground stiffly, like a zombie.

    Just died like this?

    Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed greatly.

    Especially the group of practitioners from the inner sea area had shocked expressions on their faces. Obviously, they did not expect that people would die directly in front of them in such a short period of time, and they turned into this strange appearance.

    Obviously this person was still with them before, but he was gone in a blink of an eye.

    Shui Liyin asked seriously, "How did he die?"

    Cultivators in the inner sea, look at me, I look at you, and finally look at Min Jishu not far away.

    Because they didn't know how this person died. When they heard the screams, they found that he had fallen to the ground with his hands covering his heart and looked like he was in pain. Then this group of people appeared, and then the person lost his breath. Everything happened so suddenly that they didn't have time to figure out the situation.

    Min Jishu narrowed his delicate eyebrows and said, "I was looking at these dead trees before and didn't pay attention to the situation here, but I seem to have caught a glimpse of something passing by."

    Hearing Min Jishu's words, the people present felt chills.

    They finally got out of the jungle labyrinth that trapped them, but as soon as they came out, someone died, and they didn't know how they died. This is what makes people afraid.

    For a time, everyone looked at the strange environment around them and couldn't help but be vigilant.

    "Tear his clothes apart."

    Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look, and when they found that it was Ning Yuzhou, the eyes of the practitioners in the inner sea flickered slightly.

    For Ning Yuzhou, their senses are very complicated. They feel that he is a practitioner in the early stage of Yuanmai Realm, but he has such a high level of formation skills, but he is still a practitioner in the Central Continent. A young genius array mage appeared in the Central Continent?

    Therefore, none of these people responded to his words.

    Duan Haoyan clicked his tongue, strode forward, flipped his hand and took out a sword, raised the sword, and slashed the man's clothes from the bloody collar, revealing a blood hole in his heart.

    "Huh? His internal organs..."

    Everyone looked over and found that the blood hole in this person's chest was empty, and all the organs belonging to the human body were gone, and the blood around the blood hole turned thick black, emitting an unpleasant smell.

    "how so?"

    Ning Yuzhou walked over, inspected the corpse on the ground, took out a spirit dagger, pressed the man's face, hands, etc. with the spirit dagger, the spirit dagger opened the blood hole in the chest, inspected the surrounding wounds, and then The dagger picked up the blood stains in the blood hole, put it under the nose and sniffed.

    Others watched his actions, smelled the stench, and suddenly felt the urge to vomit.

    Ning Yuzhou threw away the blood-stained spirit dagger, stood up, took a step back, and said, "This wound should have been caused by sharp claws or something, and the thing that killed him was highly poisonous and poisonous. Strong, likes to eat offal."

    Hearing this, everyone subconsciously said, "Could it be a monster?"

    Wen Tutu, who was lying on Wen Qiao's shoulder and acted as a hairball, bared its front teeth, and it also had claws, but it was a good rabbit, it would not hurt innocent people, and don't rely on monsters for everything.

    Wen Qiao patted its hairy tail and handed it a magic pill.

    Those practitioners in the inner sea who had seen it because of its bared teeth, saw this scene, and immediately envy and jealous: To give a monster a top-quality elixir, this world is really inferior to a beast!

    Min Jishu asked, "Young Master Ning, is it really poisonous?"

    "Well, I'm sure."

    Ning Yuzhou's expression was indifferent, and he took out a palm-sized dried flower and put it under his nose to smell it. The dried flower exuded a delicate and elegant floral fragrance, instantly driving away the stench around him.

    When everyone saw this, their hearts suddenly felt, and they really thought that he was really not afraid of the stench.

    At this moment, the corpse on the ground suddenly opened its eyes, jumped up with a quick movement, and rushed towards the nearest Ning Yuzhou.

    "Be careful!"

    Wen Qiao had immediately embraced Ning Yuzhou's waist and took him away from the place. The soup dumplings' Yishui, Duan Haoyan's fireball, and Min Jishu's ice-blue scaled knife greeted the exploding corpse. .

    The corpse was divided by ice-blue scales, and then burned to slag by a strange fire.

    Seeing that the corpse was burnt to ashes, everyone had lingering fears, and at the same time they were amazed.

    "What happened just now?"

    "Isn't he dead?"

    "Could it be a corpse fraud?"

    …………

    Min Jishu thoughtfully looked at the black blood stains left on the place where the corpse was just now, and asked, "Young Master Ning, what do you think?"

    Although Ning Yuzhou has the lowest cultivation level among the people here, for some reason, Min Jishu felt that it was right to ask him.

    The others didn't even think there was anything wrong, and when they heard Min Jishu's words, they all looked at Ning Yuzhou.

    Ning Yuzhou was guarded by Wen Qiao, and slowly put the dried flower into a purse, and then hung it on Wen Qiao's waist. After doing this, he looked at everyone.

    Everyone: "..." Confirmed, this person is really very particular.

    Even Min Jishu, who has an incomparably beautiful appearance, didn't pay much attention to him.

    "In the situation just now, it should be that the corpse transformed into a corpse that resembled a walking corpse, and would subconsciously attack nearby strangers." Ning Yuzhou explained that he was the closest to the corpse before, so he was the first to be attacked.

    Everyone suddenly realized that this explanation was in line with the corpse's reaction.

    "What's the reason for the corpse transformation? Could it have something to do with the poison?" Min Shuji asked.

    Ning Yuzhou nodded, "It should be."

    Then, what exactly was the thing that killed that person and left behind a highly poisonous substance? Is it some kind of monster?

    Everyone looked at Ning Yuzhou, hoping he would give an answer.

    Ning Yuzhou said simply: "You don't have to look at me, I don't know! There are thousands of poisonous things in this world, and I can't just analyze what they are from the poisonous blood. But what is certain is that Things must be living in this dry woods, everyone be careful."

    Hearing this, most people's faces were a little ugly.

    It can kill a person silently and take out its internal organs, which shows that this thing is quite powerful, maybe the next person to die is them.

    The people present were subconsciously vigilant, and at the same time began to observe the surrounding environment.

    They came out of the labyrinth jungle. Looking behind them, it was still the quiet and silent jungle. This strange-looking withered tree grew on the edge of the jungle.

    At this time, they were in this dead forest, looking forward, they could see the end, and it was obvious that the dead forest was not big.

    The trunks of every tree in the dry woods are curved, and the branches without leaves are also curved. The strange appearance, the black color, and the inexplicable atmosphere make people feel depressed for no reason.

    The joy that I originally felt when I left the labyrinth jungle was gone, silence spread around, and the whole world was silent.

    In this silence, a very slight voice suddenly sounded, which could even be ignored.

    Min Jishu, Tang Shaolin and several other practitioners from the Primordial Spirit Realm attacked at the same time.

    The ice-blue scales glowed with a soft but cold light, and flew towards the dead tree ahead. Seeing that they were about to cut a dead tree, the ice-blue scales turned and moved towards another tree. Fly away from the tree.

    "Squeak-"

    A sharp and piercing cry sounded, and everyone only felt a flower in front of them. A black monster rushed towards where they were. When they subconsciously sacrificed their weapons, a water cage that appeared out of thin air shrouded the thing.

    Then the water cage turned into a blister, wrapping the black monster in it, preventing it from escaping.

    "Squeaky-"

    The monster trapped in the blister waved its thin but sharp claws, trying to break through the blister, but the blister was woven by foreign water, where can it be easily broken free.

    Everyone walked over and looked at the monster trapped in the blisters.

    Its appearance is very ugly, with pointed-mouthed monkey cheeks, and a pair of big eyes that bulge out, which is particularly terrifying. When it opens its mouth and screams, you can see the sharp teeth covered with blue-black mucus, and it looks like a newborn baby. However, The body is covered with black scales, the limbs are thin and slender, and the hands and feet have sharp claws. The sharp claws can easily pierce the practitioner's skin and pull out his internal organs.

    "What is this?"

    Everyone looked at it in astonishment, but couldn't recognize what kind of monster it was... Well, it was definitely not a type of monster.

    "Could it be that it killed Zhuo San just now?"

    Zhuo San is the cultivator who turned into a corpse just now.

    The color of the scales on this type of human-shaped monster is the same as the color of the surrounding dead trees. It hides in the dead trees and absorbs the breath from its body, making it difficult for people to detect its existence, and it is impossible to complain that it can suddenly attack.

    The monster trapped in the strange water found himself trapped, made a shrill cry, and frantically tore the strange blisters. Tang Shaolin, who was controlling the blisters, ignored it and was almost escaped by it. Stability of blisters.

    "It's a ghost." Ning Yuzhou said, looking at the dead trees around him, "These are necromantic trees."

    Everyone looked at him in surprise, unable to digest his words for a while.

    Ning Yuzhou ignored them and said to Tang Shaolin, "Kill it."

    Tang Shaolin didn't ask him why, he immediately controlled Yishui, entered the ghost's body, blasted it, and then pulled out Yishui, Duan Haoyan smashed the fireball at it, destroying the remaining flesh and blood.

    The speed of the two was too fast, and the practitioners in the inner sea hadn't reacted yet, and the mandrill had been completely burned by the fire.

    Min Jishu looked at Ning Yuzhou and asked, "Young Master Ning, why did you want to kill him?"

    "This is a ghost derived from the necromantic tree. It has remembered our breath. If it is allowed to live, it will never die. It will chase to the ends of the earth and even follow me to leave the secret realm. At that time..."

    There was no need for Ning Yuzhou to finish, everyone already understood, and their faces were a little blue.

    Let such a thing hidden in the dark stare at it, will there be life in the future?

    Looking at these dead trees now, there is a kind of hairy feeling.

    After killing the mandrill, everyone looked around and felt that this place was very unsafe, as if they suddenly came from a safe jungle to a dangerous place full of unknowns.

    "Are you going from this place?" someone asked in a low voice.

    The practitioners in the inner sea all looked at Min Jishu, regarded him as the backbone, and only followed him.

    After Min Jishu observed the surrounding environment, his beautiful face was full of condensed expression. He suddenly remembered what Ning Yuzhou said when he had previously broken the illusion of the jungle labyrinth.

    He said: "It's unknown what kind of environment you will face after you go out."

    Thinking about it now, he should have expected at that time that after they left the jungle labyrinth, they would not return to the place where they entered, but another space, which can only depend on their luck.

    Now it seems that this luck is neither good nor bad.

    After Min Jishu wanted to understand, he said solemnly: "Everyone, this place has escaped from the jungle labyrinth, but there are unknown dangers hidden here. If you are not willing to take risks, you can return to the jungle labyrinth."

    Min Jishu gave them a very simple choice, retreat back to the jungle maze, or go forward.

    If you go back to the jungle labyrinth, there is no danger, but you will be trapped; but if you go down, you will face no danger.

    The people on the Central Continent side, because they all know each other, will soon make a decision.

    "Of course we'll keep going." Duan Haoyan did not change his arrogant personality, "If you're afraid, why would you come to the Thousand Island Mystery Realm? There's no reason to go back."

    "Brother Duan is right, we think so too." The dumplings echoed.

    Shui Liyin smiled and said, "I listen to Duan Gongzi."

    Wen Qiao also said, "I also choose to keep going."

    Ning Yuzhou smiled and said, "I listened to A'ao."

    Everyone's decision was the same, they set off directly, ignoring the group of practitioners in the inner sea area.

    Originally, he was not a traveler. He used to be in the jungle labyrinth, and only walked together because of Min Jishu's suggestion. Now that he has left the jungle labyrinth, of course there is no need for that.

    The dead wood is really not big, but in half an hour, they have already walked out of the dead wood.

    The moment they walked out of the dead forest tree, everyone felt the change in the surrounding air, and could not help but frown slightly and looked forward.

    In front of them is an open and barren land, no grass grows, and there is a faint gray mist in the distance. The gray mist seems to be drifting towards this side at a slow speed.

    They looked back at the dead wood and the barren land. They felt that the dead wood was like a dividing line, separating the jungle labyrinth from this barren land and turning it into two diametrically opposite worlds.

    "This place is so weird," Tang Yelin muttered, "The atmosphere around is really unfriendly, it seems like there is something..."

    Shui Liyin suddenly said, "It's the evil spirit."

    "Suffocating?" The soup dumplings turned to look at her.
