Cultivation of Immortals Starts from the Roots

Chapter 42 Strange Shadows in the Corpse Forest (Thanks to "Olive Xiaoqi" for the four monthly tickets)
"Isn't this the place you came in just now? Why did you come back again..."

Xue Leng was taken aback for a moment, and instantly sensed that something was wrong, and immediately jumped up, ready to jump on the tree to check carefully.

However, not long after he reached midair, a huge oppressive force suddenly came from the black mist outside the forest, which pushed him back violently.

"What is going on in Yinfeng Ridge? Why is it so weird?"

"Speaking of which, from the moment I first came in, I could faintly feel the smell of a formation."

"Who is so careless to set up such a big phantom array here?"

Just when he was having a headache from the situation in front of him, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left ear, as if he had been bitten by something.

While hastily stretching out his hand to cover his ears, blood has been continuously overflowing from between his fingers.

The row of teeth marks on his ears clearly showed that all this before him was not a dream.

It's not terrible for something to bite him, but the weird thing is... There is no enemy around him.

And within the sensing range of his consciousness, Xue Leng did not find any living things.

"What the hell is it, get out!"

Such a treacherous scene made Xue Leng's scalp tingle, and dense goose bumps formed all over his body.

"Trees, grass, shrubs... nothing wrong, what else is in this forest... don't panic, we will definitely find out what's wrong."

"Light, tree, tree shadow... And, wait for the shadow... No, why does this tree have two shadows?"

Not only did the trees have two shadows, but when Xue Leng turned around, he was horrified to find that he also had two shadows!

Moreover, one of the shadows was still "giggling" and smiling at him.

A mouthful of criss-crossed sharp fangs were opened and closed ferociously, and traces of blood were still flowing from the corner of the mouth.

"damn it……"

"What the hell is this thing?"

While screaming, Xue Leng slashed the Heart-biting Sword towards the shadow behind him with his backhand.

But when Feijian slashed at Phantom, there was no reaction at all, and the shadow was still a shadow.

No matter how he moves, the two shadows behind him, one person and one ghost, are always inseparable.

Just as Xue Leng was stunned for a moment, that vicious and strange shadow suddenly laughed ferociously, and opened its mouth to bite at the shadow of the main body, and the place where it bit the body corresponded to his neck impressively!

Xue Leng was terrified by this blow, he tilted his head hastily, and the shadow behind him also swayed, narrowly avoiding the strange shadow's bite.

At the same time, a piece of skin was torn off his neck, and burning pain came from the wound from time to time.

"This phantom can actually hurt me by attacking the shadow!"

"Such a vicious and dangerous place, there is no record in the jade slips? This man Xueyu has caused me a lot of trouble, he really deserves death!"

As if searching his guts, he quickly browsed through the information on Yinfeng Ridge, but he didn't get any useful information.

Xue Leng was suddenly frightened and angry, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, feeling terrified in his heart.

"Did I inadvertently break into a place that no one has ever set foot in before?"

Just at this moment of divine effort, the weird shadow once again used both hands and mouth, and while grabbing the figure with both hands, its mouth was also opened wide.

Look at his ferocious teeth, against the background of this dark hanging corpse forest, it looks extremely ferocious and terrifying.

"It actually wants to devour my shadow!"

Xue Leng, who has been on the verge of death for many years, has never been as powerless as he is now.

In the life-and-death battles I have encountered before, at least I can use some means to counteract the tricks, but now I am facing this phantom that ignores me and attacks, what should I do?

"Don't panic... don't panic, you must calm down."

A fierce light flashed in Xue Leng's eyes, and he bit off the tip of his tongue suddenly. The severe pain instantly dispelled the fear in his heart.

With his mind reunited, he twisted his body strangely, while cooperating with the figure to avoid the bite, while thinking quickly in his mind how to deal with the ghost.

After a short while, Xue Leng, who was bitten by the phantom, had a disheartened and desperate look in his eyes.

After trying all kinds of attack methods in his hands, he still hasn't found a way to defeat the enemy!
Because the distance was too close, he could only test some less powerful talismans.

However, after throwing down a fireball talisman, the raging flames did not cause any damage to its phantom.

On the contrary, under the light of the fire, Phantom actually grew up a lot, and his offensive became more and more fierce.

"This... By the way, fire is light, and there is light to have shadows!"

Xue Leng, who suddenly discovered something, had hope in his eyes, and then took out a small scarlet tripod from the storage bag.

After a spell was played, the blood cauldron swelled instantly.

Without saying a word, Xue Leng pulled out two unrefined iron corpses, one large and one small, and lay down in it by himself.

The tripod cover had just been fastened, when there was an unwilling "squeak" sound.

In this invisible blood cauldron, apart from himself, a dark humanoid monster gradually solidified its body.

Although Xue Leng's eyes can't see, but through the detection of spiritual sense, this monster ghost has no facial features.

There is only a large vertical grinning mouth on the entire head, which is full of intricate sharp teeth, and disgusting mucus flows out from time to time.

After seeing such an ugly monster, Xue Leng retched for a while, and almost vomited out the last night's meal!
Could it be that this kind of strange shadow was demonized by monks in a dark and resentful environment?

It seems that there are quite a lot of secrets in this magical valley. I really don't know how those ancient cultivators who lived tens of thousands of years ago sealed the demon...

Xue Leng was no longer afraid of the ghostly shadow behind the main body.

Without the biggest attack method of devouring human figures, the strength of this demon is at most equivalent to that of an ordinary first-order monster.

As if to verify Xue Leng's conjecture, this ghostly shadow with nowhere to hide, roared twice unwillingly, then grinned——

He vomited out several sticky white silk threads, and entangled towards Xue Leng, but was cut off by the Heart Eater Sword, and smashed its extremely disgusting head.

The sticky bodily fluids splashed all over Xue Leng instantly.

After taking out a piece of Yunshui Talisman to drive away the filth, Xue Leng sat in the blood cauldron and began to think.

Although I killed a phantom, there must be no one in this weird dense forest.

Just looking at the white rice dumplings hanging upside down is enough to make people quit.

And this forest is quite weird, there must be some more terrifying monsters.

The trouble is, the weird black mist outside the forest has completely blocked the way out, making this place a must-death place!
"The space-breaking shuttle can barely be used once, and the blood escape technique of Tianlu Shiyi can also be used as a reliance..."

Xue Leng frowned, immediately entered a very calm state, and then analyzed step by step——

"Presumably this ghostly shadow sneaked into my shadow when I was not paying attention.

As long as you are careful, you won't be easily approached by them. "

"Moreover, there must be a more powerful Tier [-] monster driving them.

The magic mist outside this strange corpse forest is probably related to this monster..."

"No, with my current brain, I can't think of a good countermeasure at all."

Thinking of this, Xue Leng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he silently began to run the Hundred Ghosts Nourishing Soul Chapter.
