"General Gongsun, old man?"
Peng Song hadn't come back to his senses before he was pushed back by two strong gusts of wind. Looking at the two people who had suddenly appeared, he opened his mouth and said in surprise.
The two ignored him and spread out their palms. An invisible spiritual light flew out and sniffed around the periphery of the Barren Forest, as if they were trying to find Qin Shi's position even if they had to dig three feet into the ground. But in the end, they only made a mess, and then all of them rushed to the rippling barrier.
Looking at the strange spiritual power, the old man frowned and said coldly, "It seems that we were a step too late?"
There was more or less some blame in this voice.
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan looked a little ashamed. "Yes, but fortunately, he entered the Barren Forest. Except for that person, no one has ever come out of the Barren Forest alive … He will not be an exception.
"It's a pity that we can't use his ability as a Talisman Magician."
"Haha, you underestimate him. I told you before, if he can't be used by us, we must get rid of him!"
The old man's voice was a little serious. "You should pray. If he dies in the Barren Forest, everything will be fine. But if he can come out, the consequences are not something you and I can bear!"
"Hmm?"
Gongsun Yan's voice was a little shaky. "Why do you say that?
A King Spirit Realm kid, even if he is a Talisman Magician, how much can he do? "
"Haha, the Burning Sky Sect had the same idea as you." The old man sneered and didn't say anything more. He disappeared in a flash.
His voice was like a morning bell falling to the ground, leaving Gongsun Yan stunned.
… …
Deep in the Barren Forest.
Qin Shi rolled on the grass, got up, and ran away without looking back.
He didn't stop until he was sweating profusely.
Looking back through the bushy branches and leaves of the forest, seeing that no one was chasing him, Qin Shi was relieved. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled. "No one came in?"
"It seems that they have too much confidence in the Barren Forest, or too little confidence in me.
Haha, no one has ever gone out?
I'd like to see just what's so terrifying about this desolate forest. "
After letting out a breath of turbid air, he wrapped himself in the black robe and looked around. He realized that he was already in the middle of the barren forest. His surroundings were somewhat bleak and dark.
But apart from the darkness and desolation, there was nothing strange.
Because of this, he frowned uneasily. He hated this kind of hidden danger in the dark the most.
After walking one round in the desolate forest along the way, he still did not find anything strange. However, his heart felt a little depressed.
He didn't mind it at first, but the heavy feeling grew stronger and stronger. In the end, he felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, causing him to feel a suffocating pain.
"Poison?"
After a long period of depression, Qin Shi half-squatted behind him and opened his palm. He looked up and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
In the spirit light, he suddenly saw thousands of cyan light spots. These light spots were very small and were mixed in the air. They entered his body through his mouth and were constantly nibbling away at his spirit force.
"Is this the terrifying part of the barren forest?"
Staring at the poison flowing through his spirit force, Qin Shi circulated his spirit force with a gloomy expression, trying to expel it from his body.
But after a long time, he found that it was useless. He could only snort softly: "What a vicious poison. Even a Cryptic realm cultivator would be nibbled away without an antidote, right?
No wonder no one can leave here alive. "
Qin Shi suddenly realized that this poison was indeed powerful. Perhaps it would be a terrifying deterrent to a Cryptic realm cultivator. But he didn't panic. He sneered coldly and a jade bottle filled with dark red blood fell into his hand.
Gulp!
He raised his hand and took a sip from the bottle. This poison may be useful to others, but he wasn't fearless. Zi Lingsha's blood was the bane of all poisons. There was no poison in the world that couldn't be cured.
Zi Lingsha's blood rushed into his mouth and a sharp red smell filled his entire body.
But then, Qin Shi was startled. He realized that the light spots in his body didn't disperse. Instead, they swarmed towards Zi Lingsha's blood as if they had seen a treasure.
In just a few breaths, Zi Lingsha's blood was nibbled away by millions of light spots. After nibbling away Zi Lingsha's blood, not only were the light spots not poisoned, they grew a lot bigger.
"How is this possible?
Zi Lingsha's blood can't cure this poison? "
Only then did Qin Shi realize the severity of the situation. He frowned and looked into his body. Seeing the blood vessels covered by the poison, he was shocked: "Damn it, this isn't poison?
This is … a bug? "
He stared at the poison growing in his body under the influence of Zi Lingsha's blood. These poisons were all small bugs with translucent wings. They wandered around his body unscrupulously, nibbling away at his blood.
Melancholic Corpse Bug.
A terrifying term popped up in Qin Shi's mind.
He had read about it in an ancient book: Melancholic Corpse Bug, one of the ancient ferocious beasts. It was a very small parasite that survived by nibbling away the spiritual power and flesh of humans.
In the ancient times, some ferocious beasts that were thousands of feet tall were defeated by the Melancholic Corpse Bug and turned into skeletons once they were parasitized.
This was how terrifying the Melancholic Corpse Bug was.
"It's actually the Melancholic Corpse Bug …?"
Qin Shi tensed up. Only now did he realize that he had underestimated the Desolate Forest. He had been too conceited.
But he didn't give up. Even if it wasn't poison, he had his own way of dealing with wild beasts, which was the Evil Totem.
Weng weng weng!
Thinking of this, he started to activate the totem. The black malevolent energy rolled along his body and rushed towards the Melancholic Corpse Bug in his blood.
Boom!
But surprisingly, the moment the malevolent energy was about to touch the Melancholic Corpse Bug, it was blocked by a halo. He was shocked.
"This is … a protective spiritual aura?"
Lowering his eyes, Qin Shi remembered that the ancient ferocious beasts would have their own protective spiritual aura, just like Xiao Mi Cai.
Evil Demons couldn't do it either, then …
He had to find a way to leave immediately.
Otherwise, not only would his cultivation be nibbled away, even his flesh and blood would be devoured by the Melancholic Corpse Bug, turning him into a pile of bones.
Thinking of this, he released his thin mental power and looked for an exit along the way. Only when he touched the barren enchantment on the left did he heave a sigh of relief and rush forward without thinking.
The distance of 20,000 meters was something that Qin Shi could cross in the blink of an eye. But this time, he spent half an hour before barely reaching it.
"Finally found it."
Coming to the enchantment on the left, Qin Shi couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was smooth sailing.
The number of Melancholic Corpse Bugs in his body was increasing, causing him to raise his hand to open the enchantment without delay.
Bang!
But everything went wrong here. The moment his slender fingertips touched the enchantment, the spirit power in his body became chaotic inexplicably. A raging force suddenly sent him flying.
"Hmm?"
He was sent flying for more than 10 meters before he stopped. His brows suddenly became solemn.
I can't open it?
A bad thought came to his mind, "What's going on?
The power in this enchantment is like rocks. Once I touch it, it will pour into my body like crazy and ignite my spirit power. "
As he thought about it uneasily, he once again raised his hand and touched the Bright Cosmos.
Bang!
The result was the same, and he was sent flying again.
This time, he realized that he was in trouble.
The Melancholic Corpse Bug in his body had already devoured all of his spirit power. If it wasn't for the runes supporting his body, it would have already started to devour his flesh and blood.
"No, I have to leave this place. I still have a lot of things to do. I can't die here!" Qin Shi gritted his teeth and raised his hand to tear at the enchantment again.
Pa da!
But at this time, a withered hand reached out. It was a middle-aged man who seemed to be only 30 years old, but his body was a little scary and there was no vitality at all.
The man grabbed Qin Shi's wrist and smiled bitterly, "Kid, don't waste your energy. This enchantment can only be entered, not exited!"
"What?"
Qin Shi growled solemnly, "Can only be entered, not exited?"
The skinny middle-aged man nodded, then reached out with a fingernail-sized cherry-colored fruit in his hand and said, "Eat this first. It can relieve the Melancholic Corpse Bug in your body."
It can relieve the Melancholic Corpse Bug?
Smacking his lips, Qin Shi took the fruit suspiciously. His mental power wandered around it and swallowed it after seeing that it was fine.
When the fruit entered his stomach, it flowed smoothly through his blood vessels and into his dantian.
After a moment of silence in the spirit force in Qin Shi's dantian, the fruit exuded a tempting aroma. This aroma caused the Forget Worry Corpse Worms in Qin Shi's body to become excited. After they gave up eating Qin Shi's spirit force, they swarmed toward the fruit.
The fruit was devoured by thousands of Melancholic Corpse Bugs in the blink of an eye. Then, the Melancholic Corpse Bugs all fell asleep in his dantian as if they were drunk.
"What, what's going on?"
Qin Shi stared at the man in confusion when the Melancholic Corpse Bugs fell asleep.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either. Everyone in the forest knows that this fruit can prolong life, so it's called the Life Extending Fruit." The man shrugged with a gloomy face.
Life Extending Fruit?
Qin Shi lowered his head. He couldn't figure it out for a while, but no matter what, the Melancholic Corpse Bugs in his body finally stopped moving, and his life was saved.
Thinking of this, he cupped his fists at the man sincerely and said, "I'm Shi Qin. Thank you for saving me. May I know your name?"
"My name is Bai Ge."
"Thank you, Brother Bai Ge."
Qin Shi searched his sea of consciousness, but he had no impression of Bai Ge. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are you also a prisoner of the Imperial Prison beyond the Great Wall?
Why haven't I seen you before? "
"The Imperial Prison beyond the Great Wall?"
Bai Ge's gloomy face changed. He shook his head and said, "No, I'm not.
You don't think that there are only people from the Imperial Prison beyond the Great Wall in the forest, do you? "
"Isn't it true?"
Qin Shi clicked his tongue. He really thought so.
"Hehe, there are not only people from the Imperial Prison beyond the Great Wall in the forest. This is the gathering place of evil in the entire eastern region."
Bai Ge shook his head and said, "In the entire eastern region, no matter if it's a small family or a big family, even the supreme Xuan Temple, they will send their sinful disciples here."
"What?"
Hearing this, Qin Shi clicked his tongue. He didn't know until now that all the forces in the eastern region had gathered in the forest.
"Then Brother Bai Ge is from …"
"Me?
I'm just an unfilial son of a small family. "
Bai Ge shook his head mockingly. Apparently, he didn't want to talk about the past. He interrupted, "But, although the forest is full of dangers, it is also full of opportunities."
"If someone can leave alive and bring out the treasures, he will have a meteoric rise. Not only will he be pardoned, but he will also be valued by our forces."
"For this reason, some conceited people will choose to enter the forest in order to be recognized. However, they are always full of ideas before coming here. Only after coming here will they understand the true horror of the forest."
"Is there anything more terrible than the Worries' Dead Worm?"
"Hehe, the Worries' Dead Worm?
It's just a condition to survive here. Compared to the real horror of the forest, it's just the tip of the iceberg. "Bai Ge said bitterly.
Clang.
He couldn't help but feel terrified.
The Worries' Dead Worm, such a terrible ancient fierce beast, was just the tip of the iceberg in the forest?
How terrible was this place?
Qin Shi couldn't help lowering his eyes and feeling nervous.
However, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
That's right!
Suddenly, he realized that the problem was that there were opportunities and opportunities. How would people from the outside world know that the forest was full of opportunities?
Thinking of this, Qin Shi said in surprise, "Did someone get out alive?"
