Chapter 1212 Dead Forest

King Rong's return was not a conspiracy, but the east and west sides of the human world are now really uninhabitable.

The tsunami left behind not only wasteland, but also the ferocious monsters in the endless sea were left behind when the tide receded.

Those monsters were taller than mountains, and smaller than ants, but without exception, they were vicious and cruel. It was impossible to communicate with them. In just a few days, they stirred up numerous bloody cases on both sides of the human world.

Perhaps they were frightened by the tsunami. After the waves receded, the ferocious monsters became more ferocious. One of them was a three-legged fish as big as a mountain. It crashed into Wuyang City. This city that left a deep impression on Li Chuyi and directly changed his life has now turned into wasteland. Most of the people and things were swallowed by the fish. It was not until the two five-tribulation golden armored generals led troops to encircle and suppress it that the fish escaped with serious injuries.

This result made everyone feel cold in their hearts. Yuwen Taihao's face became even uglier when he learned about it.

Two five-tribulation golden armored generals, plus thousands of Yan soldiers, jointly surrounded and suppressed the strange fish, but the fish was only injured but not killed, and it fought back fiercely, losing 20% ​​of their manpower before retreating. How could such a fighting force not be shocking?

Yuwen Taihao's first reaction after learning about it was to try to tame it for his own use, but no matter how many people he sent to try, they all failed. The beasts in the Endless Sea cannot be communicated with at all, let alone tamed. Even if you completely suppress them, they will never surrender and will keep fighting madly until they die. This result made Yuwen Taihao feel cold all over.

First there was the tsunami, then these monsters. The attacks from the immortal and dark worlds have not yet arrived. Is Dayan's military force going to lose most of its strength in these things?

At this time, King Rong requested to return to the capital. To be honest, Yuwen Tailuo really wanted to refuse it outright.

King Rong's strength is unfathomable. He is still the best master in Dayan. The same is true for the Sword Emperor Mansion under him. Although there are not many people, they are all very powerful. With their help in Dongjiang, the situation in Dongjiang will definitely be much better. Moreover, the imperial capital has been in chaos, and the available people have rebelled, died, and been injured. If King Rong returns at this time and has other thoughts, he will definitely pay a huge price if he wants to suppress it. I don't know how many people will be spent to control King Rong alone. How dare he let him come back easily.

But it's not good to refuse it outright, for fear of hurting King Rong's heart. If there is no grudge and it develops a grudge, it will be more than worth the loss.

Yuwen Taihao was in a dilemma, and in the depths of the ancient rainforest on the side of Dayan, Hao Youxiao also frowned.

Li Sinian was entangled by the inner demon and was unconscious, and was taken back to the demon clan by Zhu Sanniang first.

There are people in the human world who are proficient in illusion, but not many are better than her, so if anyone can help Li Sinian, there is no one else except her. Besides, the human world is in chaos now, and there is no place to live. Instead of sending him thousands of miles to Mobei to Xiao Erhei and others, it is better to bring him back to the demon clan for safety.

The reason seems to be sufficient, and Zhu Sanniang's words are also righteous. As for whether there are other thoughts, only she knows, anyway, Lu Gu doesn't believe it.

They laughed so hard that Zhu Sanniang rolled her eyes. At the end, she said hello and left with Li Sinian in a hurry, without even a formal farewell.

Hao Youxiao and Lu Gu followed San Tiao all the way west, destroying clans and cities along the way to warn and set an example for those who wanted to capture Li Chuyi. In this way, they walked all the way to the Eternal Rain Forest and went deep into the rain forest step by step.

At first, Hao Youxiao thought that Li Chuyi had gone to Taixu Palace. She wanted to use the void to directly descend to the territory of Tianmen Mountain, but San Tiao shook his head and refused. He took them to the Eternal Rain Forest.

There are many dangers in the rain forest, especially the tsunami a while ago. Although the inland of the human world was not seriously damaged, it was also shaken, and many cracks appeared in the Eternal Rain Forest.

The insects, snakes and beasts dormant in the forest suddenly became chaotic. The original territorial divisions were broken one after another. Every monster was looking for a place that they thought was safe. Anything that blocked their survival would become their target of attack. This made the already dangerous road even more difficult to walk, and even Lu Gu looked solemn in the end.

For example, they had seen the ghost baby snake that had caused Li Chuyi and his friends so much trouble several times in succession. One of the four-headed ghost baby snakes even injured Lu Gu. Lu Gu was so angry that she not only killed it but also dragged its tail around to whip its corpse. She only calmed down after destroying a large open space. However, she never let down her guard and it became more and more intense.

Lu Gu knew more about the Eternal Rain Forest than ordinary people. She didn't know what it was, but she knew that there were many powerful things sealed in it. These fierce beasts on the surface were just small fish. The truly terrifying things were somewhere underground.

So, when she saw the three snakes identifying the direction again and again and constantly leading them deeper, even though she was skilled and courageous, she couldn't help but hesitate.

She wanted to persuade him several times, but she didn't say it out loud when she saw her disciple's stubborn face. She just became more cautious in her actions and was no longer as reckless as she was at the beginning.

When the poisonous miasma in the forest made even her feel uncomfortable, there was finally a little sign of something strange in front of her.

In stark contrast to the dangerous but vibrant atmosphere of the Eternal Rainforest, a strong aura of death suddenly appeared, which made even her feel uneasy. The three timid ones turned around and hid in Hao Youxiao's arms, while Hao Youxiao was not surprised but happy, and walked forward faster.

"Wait!"

She stretched out her hand to stop them, but she couldn't stop them. She sighed secretly, and Lu Gu had to quickly follow her disciple to protect them on both sides.

When the two came to the source of the dead air, everything in front of them shocked them.

The dense jungle disappeared, replaced by the yellow leaves of dead trees piled on the ground. Many mummies can be seen half-hidden in the fallen leaves, including huge monsters and small insects as big as fingernails. There are all kinds of things, but there is no vitality.

There is no vitality in the whole forest. Even the poisonous miasma is replaced by the extremely dense dead air, floating in the dead forest like the Yellow Spring Road leading to the underworld.

Frowning, Lu Gu broke off a branch and threw it in. As a result, as soon as it touched the dead air, the branch quickly began to wither and turn yellow. Before it fell to the ground, it completely turned into a dry branch. It fell on the thick and soft dead leaves with a crisp "crackling" sound, and it couldn't bear the force and broke into several pieces.

"Hiss~~!"

Took a breath of cold air. Even though Lu Gu was knowledgeable, she had never seen such a weird scene.

Hao Youxiao was not surprised but happy. Her beautiful eyes lit up little by little as she looked at the lifeless forest.

Only Li Chuyi could produce such pure death energy in the human world. Even the ghost cultivators in the ghost realm could not do this. At the same time, only Li Chuyi could so domineeringly extract and devour the vitality of everything around him. Hao Youxiao, who had always hated this ability of his, knew that the scene in front of him just proved that he was here.

"Well done!"

She praised and touched San Tiao's head, but San Tiao had no time to be proud. He hid in her arms and shivered constantly.

Shaking her head with amusement, and then staring at the dead forest with a burning gaze, Hao Youxiao raised his foot to step in, but was pulled back by Lu Gu.

"You little bitch, are you looking for death?"

Hao Youxiao gently broke free from Lu Gu's hand and pointed at the dead forest and said, "Li Chuyi is in there."

"He can't survive in there either. Even I can't stand such a strong death aura for long. He would have died a long time ago if he had just cultivated a little more!"

"No, he's not dead."

Looking at the suspicious Lu Gu, Hao Youxiao smiled slightly and said with certainty, "He's really not dead, because this is what he did."

"What?!"

Looking at the dead forest and then at Hao Youxiao, Lu Gu was in doubt and her mind was a little confused.

Hao Youxiao didn't explain, turned around and took another step, but was pulled back by Lu Gu again.

"You can't go in like this, you will be corroded to death by the dead air inside. Here, take this bottle of medicine. It contains the Guyang Pill that I specially refined when I went to the ghost realm. It can replenish a lot of vitality for you to ensure that your yang energy does not dissipate. Although the dead air here is more pure and rich than that in the ghost realm, this medicine should also be effective. If it doesn't work, take a few more pills. You have this bottle. Take it if you feel something is wrong. Don't force it!"

Taking the medicine bottle, Hao Youxiao was moved. He opened the lid and took out a pill, but did not put it in his mouth. Instead, he handed it to Lu Gu first.

"You dead girl, are you making fun of me? How can I be afraid of this mere dead air with my cultivation?"

Lv Gu was like a proud peacock. She laughed and flashed into the dead forest.

"I saw it... eh?!"

Just when she wanted to show off, her exposed skin and flesh made a "hissing" sound as if it was poured with boiling oil. Strands of dead air followed the meridians and blood vessels of the wound and drilled deep into the skin and flesh. Lu Gu was startled and hurriedly got out at a faster speed.

"Damn it, this is not just dead air, there is something else in it, what the hell is this!"

After cursing for a few times, she turned her head and saw her apprentice's weird and pretty face that was worried and wanted to laugh. Lu Gu was not embarrassed. She calmly arranged her scattered long hair and smiled slightly: "What's so funny? If you stand by the river, you will get your feet wet. I am teaching you a lesson, so that you know that no matter how high or low your cultivation is, the most important thing is to be careless."

"Yes, Master, you are always right. Here, take a sugar pill to sweeten your mouth~!"

The Guyang Pill was handed to her again, but Lu Gu took a look and still didn't take it.

"There are not many of these things, only this bottle is left, you keep it, I have another way."

After speaking, she waved her hands around repeatedly, and soon a rustling sound gradually sounded. She turned her head and saw countless poisonous insects coming one after another, crawling along Lu Gu's feet to her body, forming a layer of armor to wrap her tightly.

Even though she had seen it many times, this scene still made Hao Youxiao's scalp numb. They were practicing together, but she would never use this method unless it was absolutely necessary. I'm afraid that only Lu Gu in the world could use it without any scruples, treating the poisonous insects as a part of herself rather than a disgusting poison.

When the poisonous insects wrapped Lu Gu into a squirming ball, Lu Gu stopped. She couldn't see how she cast the spell, but she saw the insect ball swell slightly and then shrink sharply until it disappeared into Lu Gu's body.

The remaining poisonous insects did not disperse, but surrounded the two people in layers, like a shell protecting the two people in the center.

With a casual shake of her head, Lu Gu smiled and said, "Let's go, find your little lover~!"
