Chapter 147 There is a strange bird in the Black Soul Forest [Please vote for the third update]
For Xu Mo, the Lightless Ghost Realm is an extremely strange place.
Here, it cannot be defined by the physical rules of the normal world. Although the outside world is weird enough, this place is even weirder.
One of the strange things is that the space here seems to be pieced together.
It's like a pervert sewing together different types, colors, and even materials of cloth, leather, and even bark.
Just like the almost endless, long corridor that Xu Mo walked through before.
But when you open the door from the corridor, you enter another space.
It's like two spaces put together.
But now, Xu Mo discovered a dark soul forest.
But in a normal small town, would there be such a thing?
At least, it should be outside the town, but here, it appears so suddenly in front of you, full of absurdity and weirdness. If you have to describe it, it can be understood as the weird dream of a severely mentally ill patient.
A place like the Black Soul Forest immediately reminded Xu Mo of the Black Soul Forest over at Chaoyun Temple.
"Could it be that this Black Soul Forest is connected to Chaoyun Temple?"
Xu Mo made a very reasonable guess.
Rusty Sword told Xu Mo that there were good things in this forest, but it was also very dangerous.
"Are you sure you want to go in?"
Xu Mo replaced his answer with practical actions.
Seeing the other party, he walked in without hesitation holding a lantern, followed closely by the rusty sword, floating beside him.
As soon as you enter the Black Soul Forest, you feel like you have entered another world.
Isolated from the world.
There are shelters everywhere here, and there are dark and weird trees.
Get close to a black soul tree and take a closer look.
The bark on it looks very much like human skin.
Even, it is still pulsing regularly.
Xu Mo looked left and right and found a different one.
There is a human face on this tree, and it looks at you when you pass by.
Xu Mo watched it look at him, then stopped and squatted there looking at each other.
You look at it, and it looks at you.
Without blinking.
Finally, Xu Mo asked: "What are you looking at?"
The human face growing on the bark of the tree didn't say "Looking at you" in reply, but it was clear that the man's face was full of vicious hatred.
Seems very angry.
Very angry.
Xu Mo could even read the meaning in the other person's eyes.
That seems to be saying, why, why do I grow on a tree and endure endless pain, but you can walk around freely?
"This is fate, just accept it."
Xu Mo said something and ignored the terrifying tree-bark face.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but next, Xu Mo would always find that human face on the black soul tree along the road, and there was more than one, and some trees were covered with human faces.
Just like psoriasis, it's disgusting to look at.
At this moment, Xu Mo felt something grabbing his clothes.
When I looked back, I saw it was a hand.
But when I looked again, it turned into a branch again.
"Axi, chop it down." Xu Mo ordered.
Obviously, this is a test.
The temptation of some resentful spirits.
We cannot get used to this problem, we must attack it head on, otherwise, we will not be able to deter the resentful spirits here.
The rusty sword naturally knew what Xu Mo meant. The next moment, the sword blade rotated and swept across the surrounding area.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
More than a dozen black soul trees around were chopped off by Lazy Yao.
The broken wood fell to the ground, making a series of sounds.
A large amount of blood oozed from the chopped wood, and the smell was pungent.
Apparently this trick was effective. The faces that were originally on the bark of the surrounding trees all closed their eyes and lowered their heads.
This is considered a sign of submission.
Continuing forward, the tree-bark face did not appear again.
But the weirdness in the Black Soul Forest is obviously more than that.
As I walked, the soil on the ground began to loosen, as if something was getting ready to crawl out from underneath.
The problem is, in more than one place, the surrounding soil is also squirming, as if someone is dancing under the soil.
A terrifying and dangerous aura seeped out from below.
Xu Mo directly reached out and grabbed the rusty sword, and with one move, he opened up the world and cut a sword mark over a hundred meters long on the ground.
All of a sudden, the things below stopped moving.
He didn't climb out either.
Be honest.
"I dare to walk around with a lantern in the lightless ghost realm. How can I do it without any skills?"
Xu Mo said something.
As the saying goes, if you don’t have strength, you will be a grandson wherever you go; if you have strength, you will be a master wherever you go.
Perhaps the movement of the sword just now was relatively loud and attracted something.
Xu Mo saw it from a long distance away.
It seemed like another person holding a lantern.
In order to show that he was not afraid of anyone, Xu Mo did not go around, but walked straight forward.
Unexpectedly, the other party did the same, moving steadily towards him.
The distance is a little closer, and we can probably see each other.
It was a man wearing a big bamboo hat, holding a lantern in one hand and a Zen staff in the other.
A bit like a wandering monk.
This can be seen from the clothes and grooming.
Xu Mo, on the other hand, feels that he is more like a Taoist.
The distance is getting closer.
If I turn a corner now, does that mean I am showing my timidity?
That can't be turned.
Gotta keep moving forward.
We bump into each other, no one is afraid of whom.
Xu Mo's steps were not slow, and he even lost his arrogant and domineering aura, staring at the opponent with his eyes fixed on him.
The same goes for the monk opposite who is also holding a lantern. It seems that at this moment, the two of them are competing with each other. If they continue to walk towards each other, the final result will be that they collide with each other.
Then, there was a big fight.
One step, two steps, getting closer and closer.
From this distance, you can clearly see each other.
Xu Mo stared, while the other party gritted his teeth.
It's all hard work and no one accepts it.
They were about to collide, but in an instant, Xu Mo turned to the right, and the monk ducked to the left almost at the same time, without touching anyone.
Then one goes this way and the other goes that way.
The tense atmosphere that originally existed between the tip of a needle and Mai Mang dissipated in an instant, just like two ordinary passers-by passing each other. Unexpectedly, one quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the other secretly wiped his sweat.
Xu Mo thought about this matter carefully.
Finally came to a conclusion.
"Perhaps, in the eyes of others, I am also some kind of terrifying and weird person!"
In this way, confidence is greatly increased.
Walking alone in the darkness for a moment, there is light ahead again.
It's just that this light is completely different from what I encountered before.
Rusty Sword spoke at this time: "Be careful."
In fact, Xu Mo knew to be careful without the rusty sword reminding him.
In front, there is a very special tree.
Under the tree were countless mummies, some with half of their bodies in the soil, and there seemed to be corpses underneath.
There are tree roots attached to the mummy, and there are countless tree roots pointing upward to the trunk of the big tree.
This black soul tree is huge.
Also high.
There is a huge bird's nest in the tree.
At this moment, there was green fire surging inside the bird's nest, and there was a huge shadow.
Suddenly, Xu Mo thought of something.
I remember that when he entered Zuo Yuantao's dream at Chaoyun Temple, he asked him about the source of the strange fire he used. The other party confessed, "There is a strange bird in the Black Soul Forest, with a face like a lion and a tiger, eagle claws and a bird's tail, and its whole body is like flames.
When it leaves the nest, steal the eggs and eat them, and you will get strange flames."
Could it be that this is what Zuo Yuantao said?
Just as I was thinking about it, a terrifying strange bird appeared in the bird's nest.
It's as big as a calf, and it looks just like what Zuo Yuantao described.
The face is like a lion and tiger, the talons of an eagle are like a bird's tail, and the whole body is like flames.
With just one glance, Xu Mo knew that this strange bird in the soul forest was something he couldn't afford to offend.
That kind of power is comparable to the Thousand-Armed Buddha.
He was not his opponent yet, so he hid. Maybe he was lucky. After a while, the strange bird flew away from the nest. Xu Mo took a look and knew that the opportunity was too late to come back again.
Immediately jump out from the hiding place, use your skills, and climb to the top of the tree.
There were green will-o'-the-wisps everywhere in the nest, especially the few bird eggs in it.
Xu Mo used his magic power, reached out and picked up the two eggs, turned around and got down from the tree, running like crazy.
After about half a cup of tea, I heard the terrifying roar of an alien bird in the distance.
"Rusty Sword, lead the way back to the ruins of the Sword Sect."
Xu Mo said immediately.
This is where the benefit of having someone to lead the way comes into play.
After a while, Xu Mo rushed out of the Black Soul Forest with the Rusty Sword.
But the angry calls of exotic birds also came from behind.
The sound is so piercing your membranes that it makes you dizzy and nauseated. It even causes hallucinations. You feel like the world is spinning. There seem to be countless evil ghosts blocking your way, roaring and charging towards you, demanding your life.
Xu Mo knew that this was all caused by the strange chirping of the strange bird.
People are angry.
That's right. Can you not be angry if you steal someone else's eggs to hatch? There were three eggs in the bird's nest. Xu Mo stole two and kept one. Even if the bird didn't know how to count, he would know that his home had been stolen.
Xu Mo ran faster now.
The rusty sword flew in front, one sword at a time, rushing into the ruins of the Sword Sect.
Run towards the door through which you can leave.
But at this moment, something unexpected appeared in front of him.
That terrifying ‘envoy’.
The guy who stood directly in front of him, like a human centipede, laughed wildly at Xu Mo with the crowded heads on his body.
Rusty Sword was obviously a little anxious.
There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind, what should I do?
When it comes to adaptability, Xu Mo would rank second, and no one would dare to rank first.
He rushed over quickly, not afraid of the terrifying patrol, but instead thrust an egg in his hand into the opponent's arms.
"Brother, thank you for helping me. This is your share. We have high mountains and long roads. We are destined to meet again."
After saying that, he ran away faster.
Seeing this, the strange bird that had been chasing behind him pounced directly on the patrol envoy, grabbing a large piece of flesh and blood with one claw.
The envoy was confused.
You can see the expressions on the faces of those dozens of people.
But this guy is not a vegetarian. After all, he is a dominant entity in this lightless ghost realm. He immediately made a terrifying cry and fought with the alien birds.
That's a scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, and that's a shock to the earth.
But Xu Mo, without looking back, found the door, opened it, and rushed in.
Entered the original corridor.
By the time we got here, we were basically familiar with the road. Xu Mo knew very well that in this cycle, he had offended both the strange bird and the patrol envoy.
If we meet again, we will probably fight until death.
But how could Xu Mo care about this kind of thing.
Returning to the mountain temple again, Xu Mo looked at the rusty sword and the bird egg in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.
"This is a good start!"
