Chapter 90 Human-Faced Owl

The mist-shrouded Youtian Valley is a terrifying legend of Youzhi City outside the mountain. No one is allowed to enter.

But for the Yunmen monks, the ghosts in the mist are not scary.

Because although this Youtian Valley is rarely visited, there are many cultivators who pass by to explore. There have been cultivators who have explored the existence of ghosts in the valley.

Although it is extremely terrifying for ordinary people, if you have cultivation, you don’t have to be too afraid.

Although Huo Feng has lost all his cultivation, he has the courage to set foot here with the Wolf God by his side.

However, although he was prepared in his heart, the moment he really stepped into the Youtian Valley, he felt the cold and evil spirit in the air that suddenly became several times stronger. Huo Feng couldn't help but shiver and his face turned slightly pale.

It is early summer now and the weather is hot. But the Youtian Valley shrouded in white fog is chilly and bone-chilling, just like the dead of winter. Huo Feng got goose bumps all over his body and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Subconsciously, he quietly moved towards the direction of the Wolf God, fearing that something terrifying would rush out of the fog.

Lu Heng followed behind Huo Feng, frowning as he looked at the Youtian Valley in front of him.

In the valley shrouded in white fog, lush green grass was everywhere, and white flowers bloomed among the grass. It looked peaceful and tranquil.

If it weren't for the strange scene of the fog, the scenery of this valley could be called a paradise.

However, the further you go, the stronger the cold air in the air becomes, and the lower the temperature becomes.

Huo Feng has loosened the reins of the horse, rubbing his arms as he walked, and said, "It's so cold..."

In the fog in front of them, there were vaguely horrible figures wandering one after another.

They were all figures with extremely tragic deaths, like evil spirits, all with hideous faces, floating in the fog.

However, wherever Lu Heng went, the ghosts that would rush at the sight of living people all retreated in panic, as if they sensed the thunder and evil spirit that was condensed around Lu Heng.

Huo Feng was not surprised to see this scene.

Although ordinary cultivators who entered the Youtian Valley did not have to be afraid of these ghosts, they only relied on their cultivation to quickly travel through the valley and avoid the entanglement of these ghosts.

It was not only the first time he saw and heard of ghosts retreating wherever Lu Heng went.

But the Wolf God could even control the power of heavenly thunder, so it was natural for evil spirits to retreat wherever he went.

After seeing all the ghosts in the mist fleeing in a hurry, Huo Feng finally put down his worries and began to think about how to speak when he saw the witch lady next.

Lu Heng observed the ghosts in the mist and frowned slightly.

There is no underworld in this world, and the soul will dissipate directly after death. Only one kind of soul can survive in the world.

——That is the evil creature that harbors resentment and turns into a ghost.

After entering Youtian Valley, Lu Heng saw at a glance that the ghosts wandering in the fog were not evil ghosts. And judging from their clothing style, they might be the dead residents of Youzhi City not far away.

The souls of these residents did not disperse after death, wandering in this mountain, but there was no evil spirit of the ghost... Could it be related to the fog in Youtian Valley?

This fog is full of cold and evil spirits that are not in the outside world. Is it this evil force that maintains the existence of these souls? So that they will not dissipate?

So what is the source of this evil force?

Lu Heng followed Huo Feng, feeling the evil spirit that became stronger and stronger as he walked in, and finally saw the source of all this.

A pool of cold lake water.

At the end of Youtian Valley, there is a pool of cold and dim lake water.

Above the lake is the only area in Youtian Valley without fog. Lu Heng and his friends can clearly see the island in the lake and the thatched cottage on the island.

It can be seen that the thatched cottage was built not long ago, and the grass stems on the roof are even a little green.

In the open space in front of the thatched cottage, there is a medicine furnace emitting a faint red light. The hot steam seems to be refining some secret medicine.

Huo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

He hurried to the lakeside, bowed to the thatched cottage in the lake, and said loudly, "I am Huo Feng from Yunmen, bringing the exotic bird fat to see Miss Wu. I beg Miss Wu to have mercy."

Huo Feng's voice spread far in the fog.

However, there was no response in front of the empty thatched cottage.

Huo Feng was a little confused and worried. Could it be that my gift could not impress Miss Wu?

But he heard the wolf god beside him say, "There is no one in this thatched cottage, the witch is not here."

"Ah?" Huo Feng raised his head in astonishment and looked at the thatched cottage in the lake.

But he saw a huge strange bird flying out of the thatched cottage, laughing, "That's right, the witch is not here. The old woman went out to play, and only I am here... Boy from Yunmen, you brought the fat bird to the door, are you asking the witch to help you cure your illness?"

"It's a pity that the old woman has a weird temper, and she will definitely not heal you even here. Fortunately, I am kind, you bring the fat bird here for me to see, maybe I can cure you."

The strange bird's laughter was shrill and hoarse, which made people feel unhappy.

And its body shape was even more weird.

It was not big, but it was also the size of an ordinary ape. As a pair of gray-black wings spread, a furry body like an ape was revealed, but the feet were sharp claws of birds of prey, and on top was a head like that of a living person.

It's just that face is so gloomy and scary that one glance at it makes people feel cold in their hearts, knowing that it is definitely not a good person.

This strange bird is...

"Human-faced owl?!" Huo Feng was shocked and subconsciously took a half step back.

On the roof of the thatched cottage in the lake, the strange and terrifying bird laughed loudly, and mocked in a hoarse voice, "Cowardly people, are all Yunmen cowards like you? Don't worry, I haven't eaten people for many years. You can bring your companions to wade through the water. I promise not to harm your lives."

"But I have to remind you first that the water of this deep spring is corrosive and soul-destroying. If you touch it, your flesh and blood will die. Don't touch it when you wade through."

Amid the sharp laughter of the strange bird, the white wolf by the lake shook his head and said with a smile, "Just don't touch the water, what's the difficulty?"

As he said, he took a step forward and stepped into the dark yellow and turbid lake water.

The invisible power of thunder and evil spread under Lu Heng's feet, separating the cold and bone-corrosive water of the spring from his body.

He smiled and said, "Brother Huo, Xiao Ai, just follow me."

The little girl with silver hair and animal ears followed directly and walked with Lu Heng.

Although Huo Feng was frightened, he saw that the wolf god stepped into the lake without any problem, so he also followed with the pony.

Two people, one wolf, and one pony walked straight over the dark yellow and turbid lake surface, and the cold and bone-corrosive lake water could not hurt them at all.

The human-faced owl on the thatched cottage saw this scene and screamed and flew up and down in fear.

"Heavenly thunder! Heavenly thunder!"

"You monster! You can actually control the heavenly thunder... Don't come over! Don't come over!"

The human-faced owl with a strong evil spirit screamed miserably, "If you take another step forward, I will crash into you and die!"
