Not far south of the Giant Insect Canyon is an unknown hill with a lower altitude, but the terrain is relatively open and very flat, and there are no dangerous beasts in it. This can be regarded as a rare and quiet area in the vast and dangerous chaotic place.

At the southern end of the Wuming Mountain Land, there are more than a dozen peaks about a thousand feet high, lined up with the word "one", like a loyal guard, guarding this beautiful and peaceful mountain land.

In late autumn, the sky was slightly gloomy in the early morning, but it didn't look like it was about to rain.

Under the lush mountain peaks, a quiet valley entrance, Bianyao and the gray-clothed boy walked out easily, and then ran southeast along a winding narrow path.

As noon approached, the two of them climbed up a lonely hill. When they stopped to look south, their faces showed surprise.

From a distance, what comes into view is a strange "black" scenery. If you really want to say it, it is a strange and strange forest. There is no leaf in the boundless woods, and only bare trunks and branches.

There are many famous places in the Chaos Land, some are circulated because of "chaos"; some are directly called "dangerous"; some are known for "mysterious", but when it comes to weirdness, it must be this "leafless forest"!

In the afternoon, the weather suddenly turned clear and the autumn sun was coming above.

Bian Yao and the young Jian Cultivator walked on the deserted road. The two jumped over a dry gully and stopped at the same time. Less than a mile away in front of them was the "Wild Forest".

"Actually, it's only an extra four or five days to bypass this forest. Haven't you heard of rumors about this place?" When Bian Yao asked this, his eyes kept staring ahead, and a look that was indescribable appeared on his face.

"Of course I have heard of it. It's nothing more than ghosts, savages, etc. Are you scared?" The young man in gray casually held the sword on his shoulder and his eyes were coldly shot forward.

"I'm not scared!" Bian Yao subconsciously raised the volume and argued loudly: "I just think that if I walk around this forest, I should be able to avoid some unnecessary trouble."

"What does the legendary savage look like? Don't you want to take a look?" The young man in gray said and suddenly stepped forward.

"Those savages can even kill Mengkuang! What's more, it seems that there are not only savages here." Bian Yao frowned and said, then curled his lips and followed him with a mutter.

There is only a very special tree growing in the leafless forest - claw wood. This is a tree with a completely black trunk and branches, which is unique and strange! Each claw wood is about three or four meters tall, and five thicker branches start to be divided from about seven feet up the roots. Five branches are divided again on each branch, and five fine branches are produced in the branch branches, and so on.

There is no leaf on the branches of the claw wood. At first glance, it looks like the fingers of an elderly person, dry and thin, and the difference is probably only in color. The whole thing is bare and black, giving people a cold and strange feeling!

Shortly after they entered the forest, they faintly felt a slight cold air coming from all sides, merging around them, making it impossible for people to hide.

There is nothing special about the ground in the woods. Unknown weeds grow freely. Due to the seasonal reasons, the originally green grass leaves have already turned yellow. In addition, there is a strange phenomenon. Almost no other plants are seen within half a foot of each claw tree.

Bian Yao followed the gray-clothed boy slowly, with a very strange expression on his face. After walking a few steps, he suddenly asked, "Do you think these trees are dead? How can live trees grow like this? Will they all die!"

"The whole forest seems to be full of such strange trees. It doesn't seem to be dead, and there is no fallen leaf on the ground." The young man in gray said, turning his head and looking left and right from time to time, obviously he was very curious about this place.

The two walked slowly through the forest. After a while, Bian Yao suddenly stopped, stared at a claw tree beside him and looked carefully, frowned and said, "How could a living tree not grow leaves?"

While speaking, Bian Yao suddenly opened his right hand, and the black sand sword instantly appeared in his palm. He held the hilt of the sword with his backhand and waved his arm forward!

A cold light flashed by, and a cut mark about half an inch deep appeared on the ink-colored trunk. A clear liquid slowly flowed out of the mark's mouth, colorless and tasteless. After a little hesitation, Bian Yao extended a finger forward. When the fingertips touched the sap, you could feel a hint of chill.

"It seems that these trees are indeed alive." The gray-clothed boy stood behind him at some point and suddenly said something.

"It's even more strange to be alive!" Bian Yao put away the black sand sword, reached out to touch the tree body, and said suddenly: "There is cold in this sap, no wonder it feels like the inside of the woods is colder than outside."

The young man in gray did not respond, looked up at the blue sky, and said lightly: "Are you still leaving?"

"Let's go." Bian Yao quickly turned his head and replied with a laugh.

Since there was no cover from leaves, the vision was pretty good. After a while, the two of them stood up and ran south.

After only half an hour, the gray-clothed boy running in front suddenly changed his eyes and rushed to a clearing ground in front of him, stopping.

On the claw trees around the open space, more than a dozen crows that were originally landing were suddenly frightened, flapping their black wings and flying from the branches, making a "quack" noise in the air.

Bian Yao followed him to the open space and saw a lot of fragmented bones scattered on the ground, with a few pieces on this side, almost twenty places.

"This person was probably killed by the 'savage'!" Bian Yao moved his eyes away from a long bone, and his face looked a little abnormal.

The young man in gray frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said in a strange tone: "I'm afraid it's not just 'killing'! Maybe it's even eaten in his stomach."

After hearing what he said, Bian Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes and said seriously: "If I die, I don't want anything to be eaten."

"You're dead, you can't help!" The young man in gray laughed strangely, jumped forward, and continued to rush forward.

"You are unwilling to take a detour. If you really want to die here, it must be counted on your account!" Bian Yao hurriedly followed and shouted loudly from behind.

An hour later, the sunset began to fall to the west, and the golden afterglow shone slanted into the leafless forest. Two swift figures ran through the black clawed woods, and the figures of humans and trees quickly gathered away, and the alternating light and darkness painted a series of mottled phenomena.

Time passed quickly. When the late autumn sun completely sank under the horizon, the light in the forest suddenly disappeared, the color of the sky began to darken, and the leavesless forest had already fallen into the deep twilight.

When he rushed to a small open space, the gray-clothed boy suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked around, and said, "Let's spend the night here tonight, and go tomorrow."

Naturally, Bian Yao would not have any objection. If it was too late today, it would be unwise to continue on the road. He nodded and said "um", sat down on the spot, took out a few spiritual fruits from the space bag and ate them.

The young man in gray did not speak anymore, put his sword and bag on the ground, and sat down silently. A few traces of color appeared between his eyebrows, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

I don’t know when it started, but it seemed as if suddenly, a faint cold mist filled the leafless forest. The dark twilight became thicker and the light mist drifted everywhere, and the black claw trees were quietly blending into the gradually approaching dark night.

Bian Yao swallowed the last fragrant fruit, turned his head and looked around, and said slowly: "I'll watch tonight. I won't close my eyes if I don't walk out of this ghost place!"

"Whatever you want!" The young man in gray sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and said lightly.

After a while, the sky became completely dark. The cold night was long and lonely, and starry lights began to flash above the head.

Under the starry sky, the leafless forest was surprisingly quiet, and there was no sound of wind. There seemed to be strange crows coming from afar, intermittently, as if there were no.

Time passes quietly, and the steps of the night are silent.

Since the night fell, Bian Yao has been staring with vigilance, watching from time to time to prevent being attacked by the rumored "savages". In fact, if he was alone, he could hide his body as before, and there was no need to be as worried as he is now. But there is another person next to him, and no matter what the reason or consideration, he could not do that.

Because it was a sunny night and the special environment in the Leafless Forest, with the cold starlight, you can roughly see the situation within ten feet of the vicinity.

Before he knew it, it had been more than half an hour since night, and the curved hook silver moon rose shortly afterwards. When Bian Yao swept his eyes around again, his body trembled suddenly and he couldn't help but feel shocked!

But under the sad moonlight, just about ten feet away from Bianyao, a white figure was floating in a hazy place, neither approaching nor far away. I don’t know when it appeared, but there was no movement at all, and even the sword cultivator could not notice it.

"Hey! Look at what that thing is?" Bian Yao rolled his eyes and shouted in a low voice.

Hearing this, the young man in gray opened his eyes, moved his eyes slightly, and then shook his face and looked in the direction where Bai Ying was.

Bian Yao moved to his side and asked in a slightly weird tone: "Is it a human or a ghost? Can you tell it?"

"You'll know if you go and take a look!" The young man in gray suddenly stood up, drew his sword in his hand, and walked straight towards Baiying.

Bian Yao was stunned. Along the way, he knew that the sword cultivator had great courage, and his caution seemed a little inferior to that. He shook his head helplessly, and then stood up, holding the black sand sword in his palm, and walking towards Baiying.

However, when the two of them walked less than two feet away, they saw the white shadow starting to move towards the distance. Both of them were a little surprised and couldn't help but stop. However, what surprised them even more was that the white shadow also stopped. The white shadow acted so strangely, as if it was teasing them, or as if it was luring them to chase them.

The young man in gray locked in the white shadow with cold eyes and stood quietly in thought. Bian Yao took two steps to him, glanced at him a few times, without saying a word, as if waiting for him to speak.

"You right and I left, and cover it!" As soon as the words fell, the gray-clothed boy suddenly moved, turning into a black shadow, and quickly circling to the left.

Bian Yao kicked his toes and rushed out quickly, pushing towards Bai Ying from the right side.

Perhaps they did not expect the two of them to do this, Bai Ying was stunned and did not move. In just a few short breaths, the two of them rushed to Bai Ying.

Suddenly, the white shadow swung and mysteriously disappeared from the front of the two boys' eyes. The next moment, another figure appeared ten feet away, which was very strange.

Bian Yao and the gray-clothed boy stood there and looked around vigilantly.

"Did you see clearly? It seems to be a woman." Bian Yao stared at Baiying not far away and suddenly turned his head and said.

The young man in gray did not answer. After pondering for a while, he suddenly turned around and walked back, not paying attention to the strange white shadow. Bian Yao was a little confused, then smiled again, turned around and looked at the white shadow for a few more times, and then walked back behind the young man.

Soon, the two returned to where they were originally staying. The young man in gray inserted his sword to the ground and continued to sit cross-legged and closed his eyes. Bian Yao sat quietly aside, turning his neck from time to time, and glanced at the direction where Bai Ying was.

Bai Ying did not leave, and was still moving back and forth around nearby, trying to attract the attention of Bian Yao and the others. However, the two of them sat there and never got up again.

Half a moment later, Bai Ying suddenly stopped and quickly floated towards the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Bian Yao slowly let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the young man in gray suddenly open his eyes, and a few traces of shock and suspicion appeared in his face.

"Something is approaching!" said the young man in gray, with a few cold lights flashing in his eyes, and he shook his hand and pulled up the sword.

In a few blinks, dozens of quick figures were seen jumping from all around and approaching, with a strange "Yuhhhh" sound from his mouth.

In the leafless forest, under the cold night, some of the furry figures were half lying on the ground, while others were standing on the claw trees, but without exception, they held various weapons, including knives, swords, spears, hammers, etc.

"Is this the savage in the rumor? So it's true!" Bian Yao whispered to himself, and the black sand sword in his palm couldn't help but hold it tightly.

In the night, facing those cold-blooded and ruthless eyes, the two young men held their swords, stood on their backs, and posed for a stance to face a great enemy.

Shuxing, Leng Yue, a seemingly inevitable battle of killing is about to begin!
