Chapter 346 Phantom ([-])

After a short exchange between the group, the sky was completely bright, and everyone started to go on the road together.

The one in charge of leading the way is naturally the real captain Baro.

The ferns in the jungle grow very fat, and a single leaf is at least as tall as a person.

The land in the extreme west is originally a place full of deserts and Gobi, but because of the surrounding Yong'an Mountains, it is isolated from hot air and moisture, and coupled with the watering of snow water on Yong'an Mountains, the plants here grow extraordinarily luxuriantly.

Baro and Qin Qiang had no choice but to swing their machetes vigorously to cut off the fat leaf blocking the way.

In this kind of place, even if a road is opened, new plants will grow overnight and cover the path again.

Only the members of the exploration team carefully selected from Kunyou City can find their way in such a complicated environment.

Jiang Yuan walked behind Baro and Qin Qiang, in the middle of the team.At the end are the four members of the Secret School of Imperial Law.

In such a complex jungle, it is not suitable for people to be in it, it is more suitable to observe from a high altitude.

Although there will be a dense canopy blocking it, it is undoubtedly much more convenient than shuttling through the forest.

It's just that I don't know why the four disciples of the Royal Secret Sect chose to stay in the jungle, and they still need the exploration team to lead the way.

But no matter what their plans are, Jiang Yuan is not too worried.

The strength of these four people is extremely weak for Jiang Yuan, even if the four of them fight together, they can't stand up to Jiang Yuanyou's move.

Xun Yu Zhuzhu has been lurking nearby. Although she can't see her, Jiang Yuan can feel her breath.

Jiang Yuan could still feel that the giant dog Mantou had been following Lin Yulin she was carrying.Originally, Jiang Yuan was worried that the dog would bark twice, but it seemed that the steamed bun dog also seemed to be very human, and had been silent and light.

The strange fragrance emanating from the tree demon Lin Yulin had already stopped.

Such a strange fragrance did not attract the attention of others, after all, in this jungle, there are all kinds of smells.

Eldest brother Ling Yu held his head high all the way, but he never let go of his frown.

What made him frown was not the danger he might encounter, but the plants around him that were constantly extending towards him.

These plants were covered with dew, mud, sap, and whenever his rich clothes were stained, they left obvious stains.And if magic is used to isolate the touch of these plants, it seems a bit too extravagant.

That's why Lingyu frowned all the way, staring at his brand new green and white robe with a sullen face from time to time.

However, Lingxiu, Lingwei and Linghu, who have been deliberately hanging behind Lingyu, seem to have formed a separate small circle, and they also have their own secret talks.

"Senior Brother Lingxiu," Lingwei asked Lingxiu, blinking her beautiful big eyes, "are we really going to follow Senior Brother to hunt down that ghost king? Senior Senior Brother, he can really... beat that terrifying the Ghost King?"

The stern Lingxiu calmly glanced at the back of the big brother Lingyu in front of him, then shook his head.

"Then..." Lingwei Liu frowned, "Are we going to follow him to death?"

Lingxiu looked a little helpless, but there was a frenzy in his eyes:
"Master is not here, so we have to obey the orders of the elder brother! Besides, it is also our task to find out what happened in the Phantom Swamp. For the mission of the sect, what's the danger?"

Lingwei became angry when she heard this, she opened her mouth and planned to say something, but she closed her mouth in the end.

Only the tall Linghu shook his head at Lingwei, signaling Lingwei not to worry too much.

At the end, Linghu asked Lingxiu himself:

"Brother, why do you think there is something wrong with those three people?"

The three people Linghu mentioned were Jiang Yuan, Baro and Qin Qiang from the exploration team.

Lingxiu asked:
"When you met those three people for the first time, what special smell did you smell?"

Linghu nodded:

"At that time, there was a strong fragrance around, but from the fragrance, I still caught the smell of dead bodies and a touch of blood."

Lingwei was a little surprised to hear this, and she also smelled the fragrance. It is not surprising that all kinds of strange wild flowers in the jungle are fragrant.

As for the smell of dead bodies and blood, Lingwei didn't notice anything.But she is not surprised, after all, the spirit tiger is a demon race, and its natural sense of smell is more sensitive than that of human race.

Then Lingxiu said:

"At that time, I secretly searched around for a while, and found a few traces of the soil being turned over. It looked like a tomb, at least eight or nine places... This expedition team must have died just now! Although that The captain named Jiang Yuan concealed it very well and couldn't see anything. But I still found clues from the other two people.

Lingwei couldn't help but interjected:
"Perhaps they were in danger, which caused the exploration team to lose most of their troops."

"It's probably like this, but this is very strange..."

Lingxiu looked at the three members of the exploration team, especially Jiang Yuan:

"They know about our secret sect of imperial defense, and know that we are powerful. But they have no intention of asking us for help, and they haven't even mentioned the heavy damage of the exploration team. Especially the team, Jiang Yuan, is so calm... You think of yourself as an ordinary mortal, think about it from the standpoint of a mortal, what would you do?"

Lingwei and Linghu suddenly realized.

The Shadow Swamp itself is an extremely dangerous place, even though it is on the edge, there are also various dangers.

More than half of an exploration team had just been lost, at least eight or nine people died, and only three survived.

It stands to reason that the three of them at this time should have a sense of confusion and powerlessness. When faced with a powerful disciple of the Secret School of Imperial Law who suddenly fell from the sky, they would be like a drowning person grabbing straws and kneeling down to beg for help.

But these three people seem to know what they are doing and what they should do.

They had a cold attitude towards the disciples of the Imperial Secret Sect, as if they didn't think that these disciples of the Imperial Secret Sect could help them.

They didn't hesitate at all to move on to the more dangerous depths of the Shadow Swamp.

Such an attitude is really very wrong.

Lingwei thought for a while, and couldn't help asking:
"Brother Lingxiu, what do you think the three of them are planning?"

Lingxiu looked around calmly, and said in a low voice:

"I think they are most likely under some kind of coercion. And this coercion must be so threatening that the three of them think that the four of us can't help them. And this coercion, the most likely... is the powerful Ghost King!"

Lingwei and Linghu's expressions became serious, they knew what they should do.

Lingxiu and Linghu seemed to cover Lingwei in the middle intentionally or unintentionally, while Lingwei secretly changed her hands and pinched her finger:

"Fire means flames, gold means revolution! Whatever you want, everything will come out!"

A spell was continuously formed and condensed in Lingwei's hands, and finally it was cast quietly.

In her pure and white hands, a transparent weeping flower condensed by the power of law bloomed.

Afterwards, this Vitiligo flower, which was as transparent as crystal, seemed to be dripped with a drop of thick ink, and the black color continued to spread in the flower, eventually soaking the whole flower in black.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the three Lingxiu people changed, which showed that there were powerful ghosts around this group of people!
I saw that the weiwu flower condensed by the power of the law had turned into a thick black flower at this time. In the silence, the flower suddenly turned into powder, drifted towards the depths of the jungle on the right side of the three people, and disappeared in the forest. among heaven and earth.

A trace of horror flashed in Lingwei's eyes, and her face turned pale:

"The ghost king is hiding in the distance on our right side... It is still daytime, and it is so unscrupulous!"

The face of spiritual practice sinks like water:

"Some ghosts will use external objects to block the sun, and the ghosts of the Outworld can rely on spells to avoid direct sunlight... It seems that I guessed it [-]% right. The ghost king has been following us in secret. The three people in the exploration team may He was coerced by him to deliberately lure us to the temple..."

Lingwei was a little scared at this time. The ghost king herself had seen its horror and ferocity far outside Kunyou City. When she thought of the ghost king lurking near her, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Senior Brother Lingxiu, let's persuade Senior Brother to get out of here quickly!" Ling Wei couldn't help pleading, "Senior Senior Brother is brave and foolish, and he is not afraid of anything in order to make meritorious deeds. This will kill us!"

Lingxiu's eyes glanced at the back of senior brother Lingyu in front of him, he shook his head slightly and said:
"Eldest brother is really being smart. He thought he could delay the arrival of the master, mainly because he has never seen the horror of the ghost king... Now even if the elder brother changes his mind, it may be useless. Since the ghost king has arranged to explore The team lured us in, so they won’t let us go easily. I’m not afraid of death in my spiritual cultivation, so I might as well use my tricks and find out the ghost king’s intentions! Ghost king, what is your origin, what do you want in the phantom swamp? What to do, I will figure it out in spiritual practice!"

Hearing this, Linghu clenched the giant ax in his hand, and a pair of tiger eyes also filled with fighting intent.

But Lingwei looked a little sad and fearful, but her beautiful big eyes kept flickering, and she murmured to herself:

"I don't want to die like this, I'm still young, so I don't want to die in this place..."

The team seemed to be calm again, even calmer than before.

No one in the group spoke, they walked through the forest in silence.

The terrain also became lower and lower, and when they passed through this jungle, everyone would leave the familiar soil under their feet and enter the swamp completely.

At this moment, a strong breath suddenly surged among the group of people.

It was none other than the stern Spiritualist who unabashedly exuded the aura.

I saw him squeeze the sword formula with his fingers, and the long sword on his shoulders and back suddenly came out of its sheath.

"Om-!"

With a crisp sword cry, the long sword suddenly stabbed forward like a stream of light.

The sharp long sword passed almost close to Lingyu and Jiang Yuan, passed through in an instant between Baro and Qin Qiang who were leading the way, and pierced viciously on the root of a big tree protruding from the ground.

"Crash!!!"

The big tree shook violently, and the water accumulated on the fat and big leaves fell one after another, like a heavy rain.

Jiang Yuan's expression remained unchanged, he knew everything around him well.

But the rest of the people were shocked by Lingxiu's sudden attack.

"What are you doing?!" Lingyu, who had been focusing on the clothes, was the most annoyed, "Why did you use the sword? Do you want to kill someone!"

It was also because Lingxiu was his fellow apprentice, otherwise, if it was the enemy, if he suddenly attacked from behind just now, even Lingyu himself would suffer a big loss.

It was also like this that made Ling Yu very angry.
