"Hey, the guy in front of you, stop, don't go any further, it's dangerous!"
Someone spoke a warning to stop Ji Mo from moving forward.
The person who spoke was a burly middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
He stopped Ji Mo and explained: "There is a black forest ahead, and the air inside is filled with a special toxin that can be fatal."
"Thanks for the reminder, bro."
Ji Mo heard this and quickly thanked him.
Fortunately, I met this person who gave me a kind reminder, otherwise I would have been in trouble if I had entered it rashly.
In fact, I blame myself for being too reckless and rushing forward without checking whether it was dangerous.
Now if I look carefully, I can see that there is indeed a gray haze shrouding the black forest ahead. It is very strange. It is obviously the deadly toxin that the middle-aged man said.
"mortal?"
The middle-aged man looked at Ji Mo and was a little surprised.
It's incredible that an ordinary person appears here alive.
Then, when he thought about it carefully, he felt relieved.
It must have been the expert who took action and eliminated all dangers, so this person was able to come here unscathed.
The middle-aged man's name is Zhang Zheng. He is a casual cultivator, a casual cultivator whose heart is not cold but whose blood is still there.
After hearing the news that a ghost emperor was born here, he rushed over immediately, hoping to eliminate the ghosts and protect the Tao.
Even though he knew that this trip would lead to a narrow escape, he still came without hesitation.
For the sake of peace for the human race, someone has to sacrifice, right?
The Ghost Emperor is hiding in the black forest, with countless drought demons wandering around, but Zhang Zheng is only a Spirit Emperor, and cannot even deal with a drought demon.
Therefore, although he wanted to kill the thief, he couldn't even break into the dark forest.
Today, Zhang Zheng suddenly discovered that a certain direction had become safer!
A mysterious expert took action, chopping monsters along the way and cleaning up all the wandering drought demons.
Moreover, judging from the situation at the scene and the corpse, the expert had extraordinary skills and effortlessly cut the terrifying Drought Demon into two pieces. His strength was unimaginable.
You must know that these drought demons have amazing defenses, with copper skin and iron bones, and ordinary weapons cannot break through their defenses.
He tried, hitting it with all his strength, but it only cut a white mark on its surface.
Zhang Zheng immediately concluded that a top expert from the human race had come forward to suppress the Ghost Emperor.
"Brother, have you ever met a senior expert with monstrous strength?"
Zhang Zheng asked, wanting to get information about the mysterious master from Ji Mo.
Nowadays, all the major forces in the Southern Territory are standing still, and many powerful people have chosen to wait and see, unwilling to wade into troubled waters.
At this time, the mysterious master who dares to come alone to deal with the ancestor of Jiuyou is the true hero with the world in mind!
Zhang Zheng was filled with infinite admiration and wanted to witness the master's grace and express his highest respect in person.
Ji Mo shook his head. Along the way, he had never seen anyone else except mummies.
But after hearing what Zhang Zheng said, Ji Mo's heart suddenly became excited. He also wanted to see such a powerful master.
"It doesn't make sense. The master killed the Hanbao all the way. This is the right direction. How come he disappeared?"
Zhang Zheng was a little confused. According to the traces left at the previous scene, the master should have just left not long ago.
However, the person in front of you is just a mortal, and it is normal for you not to notice the whereabouts of an expert.
"Brother, drought is rampant here. You'd better leave as soon as possible, otherwise your life will be in danger."
Zhang Zheng reminded him kindly.
Thanks to the senior experts who eliminated all dangers along the way, otherwise an ordinary person would have died countless times.
Now that we have returned to the original route, there is still a glimmer of hope. If we stay any longer, there will be only death.
"Is there a drought demon?"
Ji Mo's eyebrows jumped.
He was still somewhat confident in dealing with those non-threatening mummies, but a terrifying creature like the Drought Demon that could fly into the sky and escape from the earth was not something he dared to provoke.
And I heard that the Drought Demon likes to eat human blood. If it comes across, it will be sucked to death.
When he thought of this, Ji Mo's scalp suddenly went numb.
"Hurry up and go back the way you came. You should be able to escape. I'll give this to you."
Zhang Zheng took out an item and handed it to Ji Mo, with a look of pain on his face.
With this treasure close by, the young man has a greater chance of escaping alive.
This is a piece of inheritance-level jade pendant that can withstand three spiritual-level attacks. It is his most precious life-saving item.
But now, it is given away like this.
To a young man whom I only met once.
At first, he had already regarded death as home and had no idea of leaving alive.
Secondly, it was also because of admiration for Ji Mo that a mortal had the courage to come here, which is really admirable.
This made Zhang Zheng feel happy. After all, the human race was not all cowards, there were still warriors.
"It's too expensive. How can I be embarrassed about it?"
Ji Mo could tell at a glance that this jade pendant was warm, flawless and white. It was the finest white jade and was probably worth hundreds of taels of silver.
When they met by chance, the other party gave such a valuable thing, which made him have a good impression of Zhang Zheng.
"Hurry up and leave. It won't be long before the master will have a terrifying battle with the Ghost Emperor. I'm afraid you will be affected here."
Zhang Zheng directly thrust the jade pendant into Ji Mo's hands and urged him to leave quickly.
He believed that the mysterious master must have entered the black forest and was looking for the hiding place of the Ghost Emperor. Once the two met, there would be a life-and-death battle.
"Thank you! This is a gadget I made myself to keep you safe. Don't dislike it."
Ji Mo was embarrassed and took out a bottle of medicine powder and some yellow talismans.
These things were specially made by him for this trip. Although they are worthless, they are still a little bit of his own thoughts.
Zhang Zheng didn't mind it at all. He took it with both hands and put it directly into his arms without looking at it carefully.
Then he waved to Ji Mo and quickly rushed into the black forest.
I can't wait to find the whereabouts of the mysterious master, and I am willing to contribute my own strength as a vanguard.
"This old man is kind-hearted and generous. It's really good."
Ji Mo sighed and planned to follow the other party's instructions and leave.
But after all, he couldn't suppress the throbbing in his heart and wanted to stay and watch the shocking battle with his own eyes.
The mysterious master vs the ghost emperor makes my blood boil just thinking about it.
This kind of battle is probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience. There is no such store after this village, so how can you miss it?
So, after careful consideration, Ji Mo decided to take the risk and stay.
Zhang Zheng didn't know where to look for traces of the master. After entering the black forest, he wandered around like a headless fly.
Not long after, he encountered the same kind of black-haired mummy that Ji Mo had encountered before, which was also the Drought Demon that he said.
He ran away quickly, but drought demons could be seen everywhere in the black forest, attracting more and more.
As a result, he was surrounded by more than 20 drought demons and had no way out.
"He died before leaving the army. It's a pity that he didn't get to see the battle between the master and the Ghost Emperor."
Zhang Zheng's face was ashen, he slowly closed his eyes and gave up resistance.
Dozens of drought demons swarmed towards him, drowning him in an instant.
