"What is going on with these people? Look at them! "
Yan Fengfeng frowned. As a Blue Phoenix, she had never known fear. As her power increased, the aggressive qi that only beasts had started to show.
Her gold pupils scanned around as Murong Qingcheng said to the group, "In the deeper part of the forest, there are a lot of Killer Flowers. They look like the oldest kind."
If one were to ask what the most dangerous thing in the forest was, it would not be the beasts, nor the enemies. It would be those Killer Flowers and Killer Plants. These kind of creatures in the forest would have the advantage of the terrain, and it would be hard to defend against them.
The people who flew above the forest saw Ye Chen and the other four, and their expressions changed slightly. They then left the place quickly, heading deeper into the forest.
"Let's go down."
Qing Liu flashed her body and jumped down the cliff.
Since the forest was already two hundred meters high, the top was only less than one hundred meters away. The black rocks on the top were all weirdly shaped. Some looked like stalactites, hanging down all the way into the deeper part of the forest. Some looked like massive sharp teeth, spreading everywhere, layer upon layer. Flying above the forest, one would not only have to avoid those rocks, but also have to watch out for the dangerous creatures hiding in the dark. Squeak!
Squeak! Squeak!
After flying for a few dozen miles, countless black bats suddenly appeared from the black rocks in front of them. These bats were as big as domestic dogs, with blood-red eyes and terrifying fangs. Sensing the presence of the five people, they swarmed over like a swarm of bees, forming an endless black mass.
"Not good! It is the Dark Shadow Ghost Bat!"
Qing Liu was shocked. The Dark Shadow Ghost Bat had a close relationship with the Demons. At the same rank, even two or three beasts would not be able to compete with them.
"Thunder Devour!"
Lifting his thunder disaster sword up high, Ye Chen threw out a sword attack. A massive black thunder ball looked like a falling black sun, falling into the group of bats.
Boom!
The thunder light appeared, spreading out like a spider web. Hundreds of bats were killed under that sword attack, and a burnt smell spread out.
Qing Liu and the other three also made their moves, attacking toward the incoming bats.
But there were too many Ghost Bats. At first, it was just a dark mass, but later, it was like a black tide that covered the sky and the earth.
Creak!
A giant Umbra Ghost Bat with a hint of red was hiding in the swarm of bats. It spat out a black halo towards Ye Chen and the others. This black halo almost ignored their protective True Essence and shrouded over them.
"Danger!"
Ye Chen's perception was the best out of the five. He was the first to react, moving ten meters to the side and avoiding the black light. Qing Liu's speed was not slow either. Her body flashed once, and a blurry door appeared. The next second, she disappeared from where she was standing and reappeared hundreds of meters away. Although Yan Fengfeng and Murong Qingcheng's speed was fast, but their reactions were a lot slower than Ye Chen and Qing Liu, so they were not able to avoid the black light. As for the leader of the Mysterious Peak, Lin Gaoming, it was even worse. He had been covered by the black light directly.
Ah!
Yan Fengfeng and Murong Qingcheng were fine, but Lin Gaoming started to act strangely. The veins on his face were exposed, and both of his eyes were blood red. He looked like he had lost his mind, and a thunderous roar came out of his throat. He then turned around and jumped toward Yan Fengfeng.
Yan Fengfeng was not completely unaffected. Perhaps it was because she was a blue phoenix, so she was not affected much. It was just that her aggressive qi was even more intense. Therefore, when Lin Gaoming jumped toward her, she threw out a punch instinctively, blowing him away.
Yan Fengfeng only used seventy percent of her power in that punch, since she did not plan to hurt him.
Unfortunately, Lin Gaoming, who had been blown away, fell into the swarm of bats. His whole body was wrapped up, layer after layer. Soon, he had been wrapped into a hundred-meters-wide black massive ball. The black massive ball kept on spinning, looking extremely horrifying.
"Mysterious Sky Spell!"
Qing Liu saw that the situation was not right, so she threw out a palm attack.
Boom!
The black massive ball exploded, and Lin Gaoming's body was nowhere to be seen. He had probably been devoured until there were no bones left.
"Do not fight it head on! Go down!"
Qing Liu's expression changed drastically. It was her first time facing so many Shadow Ghost Bats, especially the leader that was hiding in the dark. Qing Liu had some understanding of that black halo before. It was the natural power of the dark creatures. When used on the dark creatures, it would increase their power drastically, making them not afraid of death. But when used on humans, it would make them lose their minds and go crazy. Lin Gaoming was not Yan Fengfeng, who had a beast body, nor was he Murong Qingcheng, who had the perfect demi demon bloodline, which made him half a dark creature. Therefore, out of the three of them, only Lin Gaoming was affected. Shoo!
Shoo! Shoo!
The four flashed their bodies and flew into the forest. Shoo!
Shoo! Shoo!
Shoo! Shoo! The bats chased after them like a black river.
Moving through the forest, the four of them were much more relaxed. The forest was very dense, and the vines were everywhere. It was very difficult for the ghost bats to catch up with them in large numbers. As time went by, the number of ghost bats chasing after them decreased. They were either shaken off or devoured by the dangerous creatures hiding in the dark, without a sound.
"Break!"
However, there were dangers in the forest as well, and it was hard to defend against. In the dark, a house-sized bright red flower shot out of the ground, attacking toward Ye Chen on the left. Ye Chen's reaction was extremely sharp. A black sword qi sliced through the air, cutting the flower in half. A huge amount of acidic liquid poured out, making a sizzling sound.
Right after that, a huge amount of killer vines attacked the four from all directions. In the underground environment, there was an invisible power covering them. The light was dim, and the four's soul power could only reach out a couple hundred meters. The attacking speed of the vines was way too fast, and they could only react when it got close to them. It made the four panic, and their speed decreased drastically. The good thing was that there were only a few bats chasing after them, so they had finally gotten rid of one danger.
Finally, the four made it through the forest and arrived at the swamp area.
"If it is not necessary, try not to go above the forest."
Qing Liu was very sad. Lin Gaoming was one of the main pillars of the Mysterious Martial School, and he was only in his nineties this year. If he did not die, he might be able to reach half step king warrior level in the remaining years, and it might even be possible for him to become a Life and Death Realm warrior. Dying like this would be a huge loss for the Mysterious Martial School.
Yan Fengfeng said, "If I had used a bit less power, or if I had just dodged it, it would have been fine." She was a bit blaming herself. She could have dodged it, but there seemed to be that evil qi inside of her that she had to explode.
Qing Liu waved her hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you. The Brutal Halo's effect on the beasts is even more powerful than humans. Because of your noble bloodline, you were not affected as much. It is already very rare for you to be able to control your mind."
Pausing for a second, Qing Liu said again, "The dead cannot be revived. From now on, we will have to be more careful."
Among the remaining four, besides her, Yan Fengfeng, Ye Chen, and even Murong Qingcheng were all martial geniuses that Qing Xuan thought highly of. It would be hard for her to accept even one of them dying. If all of them died, she would not have the face to go back to the Mysterious Martial School.
"Senior, don't worry. We will take care of ourselves."
Ye Chen knew that Qing Liu's burden was huge, so he said with determination.
"Alright, let's go."
Qing Liu sighed, her eyes turning sharp.
…
"Damn it! Why are there so many Shadow Ghost Bats?"
In the sky above the forest, a huge amount of Shadow Ghost Bats were chasing after the Shadow King, forcing him into a very difficult situation. If it were just normal Shadow Ghost Bats, he would not be in such a difficult situation. But the Shadow Ghost Bat leader's Brutal Halo had affected him a lot.
"Hundred Shadow Transformation!"
Forming a spell with both of his hands, the Shadow King split into two, then four … Hundreds of clones appeared all of a sudden before he managed to escape from the Shadow Ghost Bats.
After the Shadow King had left, the black rock on top suddenly cracked open. A black stone coffin fell from the sky, being held by a lot of Shadow Ghost Bats. Crack!
Crack!
The lid of the black stone coffin moved open slowly, revealing the pitch black darkness inside.
Within a couple of blinks of an eye, the coffin cover had been completely opened. That horrifying black qi poured out, forming into a ball in the midair.
Pooh!
The black qi disappeared, and a human shaped Shadow Ghost Bat appeared in the midair.
"Such a delicious smell of blood and flesh!" This human shaped Shadow Ghost Bat was three meters tall. It was muscular, and its skin was a metallic black color. A pair of fangs were exposed, dripping with purple liquid. On its back was a pair of black cloud-like bat wings. There was a pair of claws on the wings, which were sharp and curved.
Licking its lips, a lot of colors flashed through its eyes. There was violence, cunning, cruelty, evil, and madness.
"King!"
All of the Shadow Ghost Bats surrounded it. Some of the leaders who were hiding in the dark also walked out, speaking in human language.
"You guys are so useless. You can't even stop a few people."
The human shaped Shadow Ghost Bat was the Shadow Ghost Bat King. It had been sleeping for a long time, and would only wake up after being stimulated by the smell of blood and flesh. However, it was different from humans. Every time it woke up, it would take days to prepare. When the first batch of people came in, it had woken up, but when it finally woke up, a few batches of people had already passed by.
The leader of the Shadow Ghost Bat lowered its head, not saying a word. It was not their fault for being useless. In the first three batches of people, there were powerful half step king warriors.
"Alright, since I am out, then no one will pass through this place. Eh? Someone else is coming."
The Shadow Ghost Bat King's body flashed once, disappearing from where it was standing.
Dozens of miles away, three human figures flew at a high speed.
All of a sudden, a huge amount of black qi appeared in front of them.
"Hehe, stay here and be my blood food!"
The Shadow Ghost Bat King's body appeared.
"Not good! It is a half step king warrior among the dark creatures." There was a half step king warrior among the three as well. He was shocked as he threw out a blade attack.
Swoosh!
The blade light sliced through the black qi, and the Shadow Ghost Bat King's body was cracked open. However, it was only a shadow of the Shadow Ghost Bat King. The real one appeared above the three's heads.
"Go!"
A circle of black aggressive light spread out from the Shadow Ghost Bat King's body, covering the three inside. Their protective Zhen yuan was almost useless.
Ahhh!
The aggressive light released by the Shadow Ghost Bat King was ten times more horrifying than the one released by the leader. Including that half step king warrior, they all fell into a crazy state and started to attack each other. Soon, there was only that human half step king warrior left.
"Die!"
The Shadow Ghost Bat King jumped over and bit that half step king warrior's neck. It sucked his blood and turned him into a dried-up corpse.
