Chapter 24 Stone Forest Scorpion Swarm
It took more than an hour for the two of them to come to the stone forest.
Ji Fan looked at the stone forest and was very surprised. He had seen the place with sticky spiritual power, but it was the first time he had seen this stone forest with such a thick spiritual mist.
"We should not separate. The concentration of spiritual power in the stone forest is extremely high, so many evil things will definitely be produced." Lin Yuhe reminded.
Ji Fan nodded and looked into the stone forest. Such a heavy fog should have a visibility of less than two meters. Moreover, the stone forest has a huge range and is irresistible at first sight. If there is no good method, it would be a bit troublesome.
I don’t know if the breakthrough of all things can achieve good results in the spiritual fog, Ji Fan is confused.
He opened the way to break through all kinds of methods and was surprised to find that the flow of the spiritual fog could be clearly seen, and his vision also expanded to ten meters away. This made him feel energetic. This ancient martial art is really popular everywhere and is suitable for various environments.
The two entered the stone forest.
As soon as he walked in, Ji Fan felt that the speed of the special paths of heaven and earth was much faster, and his entire mental state seemed to have been affected.
He and Lin Yuhe kept a distance from each other and kept moving forward.
Lin Yuhe is in front and Ji Fan is behind. Lin Yuhe told Ji Fan to pay attention to his back and left and right, but Ji Fan actually has a vision covering all corners. He believes that Lin Yuhe does not have the functional Taoist method of breaking all kinds of Dharmas. No matter how strong his perception is, he cannot see farther than him.
This is also the reason why Ji Fan was relieved to let Lin Yuhe come forward. Ji Fan will always discover the danger at the first time. As long as Lin Yuhe is around him, he can remind her.
"There is a big scorpion approaching our direction in the passage in front of the left." Ji Fan reminded.
Lin Yuhe was slightly surprised and focused on the direction Ji Fan said, but she felt nothing.
After waiting for dozens of breaths, there was nothing in front of her. She began to let go and wanted to ask Ji Fan if he felt wrong. But at this time, a huge scorpion of two meters long shone with purple-brown light all over her body and rushed towards Lin Yuhe.
Lin Yuhe was frightened and hurriedly prepared to resist, but Ji Fan took a step ahead of her, and a sword light rushed out, cutting the scorpion in half.
The dark green blood spurted out from the broken mouth and flowed all over the ground, with a rotten and fishy smell. Lin Yuhe smelled it and retching frequently.
Ji Fan changed the path and the two continued to walk inside.
"Can you see a faraway place?" Lin Yuhe felt a little better and asked in confusion.
"Well, I can feel it within a dozen meters around, and I feel a smell of blood in the spiritual fog." Ji Fan frowned.
"This search is not a solution. We cannot confirm that Zhao Xuexin is in this stone forest."
The stone forest is so big that Ji Fan and Lin Yuhe will not only get lost, but also searching for a complete place will probably take one or two days.
If Zhao Xuexin is fine here, if she is not in it, but hides in other places, and is dying at this moment. If she was wasting these two days, Zhao Xuexin might...
"Actually, I don't know either, but the intuition in my heart told me that Xue Xin is in this stone forest, with no news or clues. I can only believe in the feeling in my heart." Lin Yuhe hesitated for a moment, sighed, and confessed.
Ji Fan was a little helpless when he heard this. He could understand Lin Yuhe's eagerness to save people, but based on his feelings, isn't this a nonsense?
The two of them walked a few more steps, and a pair of boots appeared within their field of view.
Zhao Xuexin's boots? Ji Fan had a wider range of perception. He saw this boot first before Lin Yuhe, so he hurriedly pulled Lin Yuhe forward and asked her to identify it.
Lin Yuhe was shocked when she saw the boots, "This is Xue Xin's boots. Last time I was on the city wall, I saw that she was wearing such a pair of boots. I can't make any mistakes. She always likes to paint a daisy on it."
Ji Fan looked at the chrysanthemum on his boots that was red at the moment, guessing that Zhao Xuexin was probably seriously injured and then escaped into the stone forest.
"Let's keep moving forward, it seems we are not wrong." Ji Fan suggested.
Knowing that Zhao Xuexin was in the stone forest, Ji Fan also wanted to find her soon, and led Lin Yuhe to move forward faster. Moreover, along the way, Ji Fan also found many traces, which should have been left by people from the Ma family.
However, the traces were intermittent, and if Ji Fan had not been careful, many of them would be difficult to detect.
The people from the Ma family did not come in step by step like them. They should have flew at high speed while chasing Zhao Xuexin.
The two of them walked for a long time, and they also encountered many walls along the way, killing many scorpions that were similar to before, and also embarked on a road that had not been found for a long time. After walking for a long time, they realized that they followed the previous footprints and searched for directions again at the intersection. In this way, a lot of time was spent in one go and two rounds, and the sky gradually darkened.
The road became wider and wider. The two of them came to an open land, and the stone pillars set up around them began to decrease. Without the stone pillars, it was not so easy to distinguish the direction.
Ji Fan looked down and saw dense footprints beginning to appear on the ground, and Lin Yuhe naturally noticed it at the first moment.
"It seems that when they came to this position, they lost their direction, but we can follow their footprints. However, be cautious, the bloody smell around them is getting heavier and heavier." Ji Fan reminded.
"Ji Fan, look, all the footprints are heading into the stone forest. The people who took them to the Ma family to chase Xue Xin are still in this stone forest?" Lin Yuhe was puzzled and pointed at the footprints.
"Is it because when they went back, they had a direction and flew along their footprints, leaving no obvious traces?"
This idea flashed through his mind just now, and even made several assumptions. One possibility was that the Ma family members were still in the stone forest at this moment, the second was to fly along the original road, and the third was that everyone died here.
No one returned!
Ji Fan recognized the third one very much. As the bloody smell around him became stronger and stronger, he believed in his judgment more and more.
He told Lin Yuhe what he thought. Lin Yuhe felt that what Ji Fan said was indeed very reasonable. Zhao Xuexin said this... But after all, these were Ji Fan's guesses. She still wanted to go inside and take a look. She didn't want to go back without seeing Zhao Xuexin's body with her own eyes.
Ji Fan also knew what Lin Yuhe was thinking, and he also wanted to see what was inside and how the spiritual fog in the stone forest was produced.
By breaking all the methods, he could clearly see that the spiritual fog on the outside was gathering in front of him, indicating that something must be inside that was constantly devouring the spiritual fog.
The two of them made up their minds and started to set off. Ji Fan found that the spiritual power around them began to turn a little red, and the spirit mist began to turn into blood mist.
"ah!"
"What's wrong?" Ji Fan hurried to Lin Yuhe.
"It's a corpse." Lin Yuhe pointed to the place in front of him.
Ji Fan looked around and saw the corpses and blood all over the ground, the scattered fabric and bones, and the blood that had not yet dried up. These corpses seemed to have been gnawed by something.
There must be some bloodthirsty creature around here. Could it be the blood demon?
Ji Fan was surprised by his guess.
The Blood Demon has become so powerful. Have you defeated the Ma family's cultivators?
Ji Fan counted about it and found that there were about twenty people on the ground, but at this time, he couldn't tell the difference in cultivation. However, when I came to capture the eldest lady of the Zhao family, there should be at least many cultivators from the Linshan realm. So many people were swallowed by the blood demon?
As he was puzzled, the earth suddenly trembled, and Ji Fan felt that something seemed to be approaching here quickly.
Ji Fan came to Lin Yuhe and looked at the direction he came.
"Go away quickly, there are groups of scorpions." Ji Fan saw countless scorpions coming and hurriedly took Lin Yuhe toward the front.
Lin Yuhe was pulled by Ji Fan, and while turning his body, he looked back.
A huge scorpion king covered in golden armor chased the two of them with countless purple-brown scorpions.
What shocked her even more was that the Scorpion King was actually at the Lingyu Realm's cultivation level.
There are countless scorpions hidden in this stone forest?
Why did they not attack us when they passed by the previous stone pillars?
Lin Yuhe had countless questions in his mind.
Ji Fan didn't have time to look behind at this moment. He stared at the front with all his heart, afraid that scorpions would appear in front of him.
"What should we do? Find an exit from the front?" Lin Yuhe asked withdrew his gaze.
Ji Fan naturally had the same idea. He would definitely fight against the Scorpion King when he walked from behind. There were so many scorpions that he could not kill them!
Only look for exits from the front.
"I always feel something is wrong. How could this scorpion appear behind us?" Lin Yuhe said the question in his heart.
"I also have many questions in my heart. Find an exit first. If I force it to the point... let's try to kill the Scorpion King again." Ji Fan said intently.
