Chapter 221 Illusions and secret passages

Heaven punishes the forest?
As soon as this place is mentioned, the scenes of that day are still in front of my eyes.

Zhu Jue will never forget what happened that day.

Even he still can't believe it.

That day Chu Tianhe had obviously successfully retreated from his body, but how was he killed?

But these are all in the past, and he doesn't want to recall too deeply.

But since this is the case, Zhu Jue couldn't help thinking about the origin of this forest of black corpses.

After all, there is a word "corpse" in it, so it is very likely that it is related to some kind of corpse.

And he remembered that he was not able to recover his body in time because he was backlashed by the empty mountain.

There are also the fallen streamer shovel and wordless book.

Thinking of this, a very bold guess suddenly popped up in Zhu Jue's mind.

Could this so-called Black Corpse Immortal be Kong Shan's corpse again?

If this is the case, the great strength of this black corpse fairy can also be justified.

However, if it is really the resurrection of the empty mountain, then there is no reason to stay here all the time, which is somewhat unreasonable.

Zhu Jue was suddenly caught in a conflict.

Of course, he also knew that these were just his own guesses, and there was no evidence at all.

He shook his head, temporarily throwing these thoughts out of his brain.

Just thinking about it here won't help.

You still have to go deep in person and investigate carefully to find out what the truth is.

Zhu Jue couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

I originally came here to chase Yao Yue, but I didn't expect to encounter such an incident by accident.

I can only say that things are impermanent.

Everything seems to be connected in series by an invisible thin thread.

Being in it, Zhu Jue inevitably felt like a marionette.

I always feel that no matter what he does, he will be led to a certain result, as if deliberately drawn by fate.

This strange sense of unfreedom disgusted him.

At this time, the question of the old man with the vine next to him brought him back to reality.

Seeing the old man withered vines, he asked Sun Tzuhong: "I remember that the big guy and Fang Tianmo mentioned it before. It seems that this is not the first time you have entered here."

"But since you have been kicked out a few times before, how did you get the chance to go in?"

He pointed to the only entrance to the Black Corpse Grove, "It's heavily guarded. I remember that you are not good at the way of illusion. How did you trick them into entering the interior?"

"Yeah!" Liu Feng also looked puzzled, "That big man is very irritable at first glance, it's hard to imagine that he can put you in it several times."

Sun Tzuhong shook his head with a smile, "Of course they won't let me in. After I was discovered for the first time, I would have been banned from entering the black corpse forest."

"As for how I got in, it's a blessing in disguise."

"Oh?" The old man withered vine asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Sun Tzuhong thought for a while, organized his words before saying, "Well, it's actually quite simple to say."

"I found a secret passage that can directly enter the interior from the outside."

"Secret passages?"

Liu Feng interrupted him suddenly, and pointed to the forest of black corpses that looked like ghosts.

"These are surrounded by dark things, and they will die if touched. Where can I find the secret path?"

"Could it be that you dug a hole in from the ground?" He said this, and stepped on the ground with his foot.

Surprisingly, the ground here is also harder than the dirt roads in ordinary places.

Like a rock.

"Or from the sky?" He pointed to the top of his head again, but it felt even more unrealistic.

The guards of the Black Corpse Forest are not fools, it would be too conspicuous to fly in from the sky, and the death is probably even worse.

But Sun Tzuhong pointed at the surrounding layer of darkness and said, "That's right, that's where we go in."

Zhu Jue, Liu Feng and Ku Teng old man, you look at me and I look at you.

At the same time, puzzlement emerged.

Then he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it there. The stone was engulfed by the black substance again and melted instantly.

Liu Feng twitched the corners of his mouth, "How do you get in, isn't your soul going out of your body?"

"This is about what happened after I failed to sneak in last time."

Sun Zihong's injuries have recovered a lot during this period of time, and he can move around freely.

He got up and led the crowd towards the opposite direction of the gate of the Black Corpse Grove.

After walking in silence for a long time, he stopped at a corner not far from here.

The three found that this place seemed to be a blind spot, which was hard to detect.

However, it was still surrounded by that black substance, without even the slightest gap.

Before he could speak, he saw Sun Zihong walking towards the black substance unabashedly.

Amidst the exclamation and tugging of the crowd, it was discovered that half of his body had been submerged in it.

Only then did they stop pulling at him.

They found that Sun Tzuhong was not swallowed by the black substance, and he was unharmed.

This operation obviously made the three of them interested.

The old man withered vines also tried to get closer, "Could it be that this thing can't cause harm to people?"

"Don't!" Before he stretched out his hand, he was stopped by Sun Tzuhong's loud shout.

This scene made Zhu Jue very surprised, it was the first time that the old man Kuteng was scolded by the juniors so that he dared not move.

However, Sun Tzuhong leaned back in a hurry, and said with a stern expression: "Never touch those blacks, or you will die for sure."

"But why are you okay?" Although the old man withered vines looked dissatisfied, he didn't attack.

Also asked curiously.

"Because it's an illusion." Sun Tzuhong pointed to the area he just passed through.

"This should be a phantom array composed of illusions and black matter, some are fake and some are real."

"It's just that the road pattern is relatively fixed, so I figured out the way in."

"But it took me three months."

Zhu Jue frowned, "How do you know, this is a huge discovery."

"If the outside world knew about this, I'm afraid the Black Corpse Forest would not be so easy."

Sun Tzuhong shook his head, "Except for me, the outside world doesn't know what's going on here."

"The reason why I know is that, as I just said, it was a blessing in disguise."

In his eyes, there was a hint of reminiscence, "Actually, after I was blasted out for the first time, that Qianzhong wanted to kill me."

"Of course he did the same, but he wanted to throw me into that mass of black matter and burn me to death."

"Maybe it's because I shouldn't die, or because of my luck, I just happened to fall into the part of the illusion."

"That's why I saved my life."

"In the days since then, I have been searching inside and using the sand and stones on the ground to explore the way out."

"After being trapped for three months, I gradually figured out such a path."

Old Man Kuteng's eyes lit up immediately, "Good job, we can use this to sneak in."

"This way, you won't attract the attention of others, and you will be able to investigate the place where the disciples are being held!"

But at this time, Zhu Jue suddenly said: "Well, since that's the case, then I won't follow you in here."
