Chapter 531 A Bold Idea to Prove the Guess!

Seeing Xiaolong's puzzled look, Chen Ming was stunned.

What's going on with this kid?

To be honest, with the power of a dragon, it should be very sensitive to danger.

But Xiaolong looked stupid, and didn't seem to sense any danger at all.

Could it be... that thing is very good at disguise and easily suppressed his breath?

As soon as this thought came up, Chen Ming immediately shook his head and denied it.

Look at the way that thing is swaggering in the Gobi Desert.

It almost wants to write the words "I'm very powerful, don't mess with me" on its face.

Such a ostentatious performance is completely contrary to the idea that Chen Ming just had.

What exactly is going on?

Just as Chen Ming was thinking, Xiaolong suddenly turned his head, looked straight at him, and then suddenly opened his mouth!

The scorching flames shot towards Chen Ming!

? !

The experience accumulated from countless battles made Chen Ming have muscle reaction, and he suddenly crouched!

When his body completed the evasive action, a question popped up in his mind...

Xiaolong, why did you suddenly attack me? !

Could it be that dead forest? !

Just then.

A new message popped up in the system bar in the lower left corner.

The system prompted Chen Ming that he had completed another kill.

Huh?

He turned back in a daze.

Only then did he notice that at his feet, a bug appeared out of nowhere, fell to the ground, and was burnt black all over, and had lost signs of life.

At the same time, Xiaolong no longer had the murderous intent when he spit out dragon breath, but fluttered gracefully, as if to take credit from Chen Ming.

"It turns out that the dragon breath was not directed at me..."

"My nerves were too tense, so I even got the wrong target of Xiaolong's attack."

Chen Ming shook his head helplessly.

Then he took a look at the corpse of the bug at his feet.

Although this guy is not strong, his hiding skills are really unique.

Even he, a master thief, can't detect its breath.

"In this forbidden place full of monsters, it's really hard to survive without some hiding skills..."

Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned.

A bold idea suddenly rose in his mind...

He slowly looked at the dead woods.

Looking at the daunting bones.

"Is there a possibility..."

"These bones are the disguise of the dead woods?!"

"It's like these insects need to hide."

"The dead woods disguise themselves to be strong enough and shocking enough!"

The more Chen Ming thought about it, the more likely it was!

This is why Xiaolong was not afraid at all.

It also explains how such a terrifying existence like it could appear near the periphery!

All signs prove that Chen Ming's inference is very likely to point to the truth!

"If that's the case, I'll have to take a look!"

With a guess in mind, Chen Ming no longer hesitated.

He directed Xiaolong to move forward towards the dead wood forest not far away.

All the way, Xiaolong flew in the front, leading Chen Ming by 20 to 30 meters.

This can guarantee Chen Ming's safety to the maximum extent.

Once there is danger, Chen Ming can directly take Xiaolong back and then turn around and run.

As the distance gets closer.

The pressure Chen Ming feels is getting greater and greater.

Not only is the distance closer, the details of the skeletons are becoming clearer, which makes people shudder.

It is also because an indescribable pressure is really emanating from the dead wood forest.

This is not Chen Ming's illusion.

The cow and horse carrying him have begun to tremble all over.

Originally, it was agile, but now it has walked quite slowly.

Finally...

"Plop!"

The cow and horse's trembling body could no longer support itself and Chen Ming, and it actually knelt down!

Fortunately, Chen Ming was prepared. He jumped sideways and rolled to the ground.

Poor cows and horses, they didn't have time for Chen Ming to recall them, and they had already scattered into a ball of gray stardust and returned to the mount space.

Such pressure really surprised Chen Ming.

Only Xiaolong looked as if nothing had happened.

However, the more this happened, the more Chen Ming was sure of his guess.

"The pressure was so strong, but Xiaolong and I were not attacked when we walked here."

"Well... it's almost stable!"

With this idea, the terrifying pressure had no effect on Chen Ming.

The more terrifying it was, the more Chen Ming felt at ease.

As he approached, some real skeletons appeared around him.

These skeletons were of various creatures, but they didn't look strong, and they were far from those hanging on the trees.

And these skeletons, without exception, all had one common feature, that is...

Their bodies were not damaged at all, not even with scars.

To outsiders, these signs would only seem strange. Coupled with the terrifying pressure from the dead wood forest, some people with bad mentalities might lose their defense on the spot because of their own wild thoughts.

But Chen Ming could tell the cause of death of these creatures at a glance...

"They were all scared to death..."

That's right.

They all died from their own inner demons.

"For creatures with low intelligence, this kind of deterrence is indeed very effective."

He walked forward under the pressure.

At this moment, he was less than 20 to 30 meters away from the dead wood forest.

The little dragon flying in the front had already rushed into it.

Still, he was not attacked at all.

This also made Chen Ming's heart completely relieved.

"The last little distance..."

Chen Ming gritted his teeth and moved forward.

Finally, when the power could make Chen Ming's muscles tremble uncontrollably, he took a step forward and stepped into the forest.

Boom!

The terrifying pressure that had been covering him like a mountain dissipated like a flood.

And those densely hanging corpses that made people feel scared also disappeared without a trace.

Instead, one after another, fruits like curled up babies were replaced.

"It turned out that these fruits turned into those scary corpses..."

Chen Ming relaxed completely.

Huh...

Long-lost relaxation.

After a long sigh of relief, Chen Ming looked around.

He saw that this dead forest was indeed not that big as he guessed.

It was about 120 to 300 square meters.

He could walk across it in a few more steps.

There was nothing on the ground, only the soil for the dead trees to grow.

"Could the reward here be those fruits?"

Chen Ming casually dug out a gravel from the soil at his feet, weighed it twice, and then threw it at a shorter fruit.

"Swoosh!"

Accurate hit!

As a thief, his hidden weapon skills were also quite impressive.

The fruit fell down immediately after being hit.

Without Chen Ming's instructions, Xiaolong flew out, easily caught the falling fruit, and then pounced back to Chen Ming like a puppy, putting the fruit in his hand.

"Okay, okay!" Chen Ming touched Xiaolong's head lovingly, and at the same time looked at the fruit in his hand...
