The entire mountain range was boundless. One couldn't see the end of it at first glance. It was supposed to be grand and majestic. However, it looked gloomy and terrifying at the same time. It seemed to be a dangerous place everywhere. It had been covered by a large patch of dark clouds. So, one couldn't see the light of day. Intermittent hissing sounds that didn't belong to living beings would be transmitted from the mountain range from time to time.
"Wu Wu Wu!"
Gusts of chilly wind blew out of the mountain range. It was cold and bone-piercing as it blew on people's bodies. In fact, people couldn't help but shiver.
Everyone here was a martial artist with a high cultivation base, but they still couldn't help but shiver in the face of this chilly wind.
It wasn't ice-cold. After all, they could move freely in an environment that was hundreds or even thousands of degrees below zero given their cultivation. Instead, it was a kind of soul-piercing coldness. This coldness had penetrated into their souls. It seemed as if they could feel the dead beings in the mountain range.
"Could it be that many undead creatures have been born here?" Ye Xiwen secretly thought. He was very familiar with these undead creatures. He had seen countless tyrannical undead creatures during the battle on the Demon Island. So, he still hadn't forgotten their cries. Gong Yan Jia's voice could be said to be unpleasant to hear. It could be said that he had sounded like an old crow. But, the roars of these undead creatures were like a combination of various kinds of friction sounds. They were strange, sharp, and could make people shudder.
However, this wasn't impossible. After all, it was possible that this was the tomb of a great person. Moreover, it was very normal for undead creatures to be born in such a gloomy and cold environment.
"Is this mountain range where the tomb is located?" Ye Xiwen's divine sense circulated, and transmitted to Ding Tong's ears.
Ding Tong had invited him. So, Ding Tong must be aware of the key to this matter. Moreover, it was possible to obtain a rough map of the Great Gas Collar. After all, the Great Gas Collar had been opened to the public many times. So, many places had already been thoroughly explored by people. Ye Xiwen also wanted to obtain a map of the Great Gas Collar. However, it was a pity that he didn't have the time.
Wang Tai had disrupted his plans. "Yes. It is said that this mountain range was originally called the Evil Corpse Mountain Range. And, it was said that the yin energy of the entire Great Gas Collar had converged to form this mountain range. Some people also say that this was a battlefield. In fact, it was an ancient battlefield. Countless experts had fought and slaughtered each other. Then, the resentful souls of the fallen experts had gathered together to form this Evil Corpse Mountain Range. Moreover, there are also many rumors that this place has become a dangerous place after the Great Gas Collar has opened to the public. I will first transmit a map to you!" Ding Tong said. Then, he transmitted a map of the Great Gas Collar to Ye Xiwen using his divine sense.
Ye Xiwen absorbed everything in an instant. And, he immediately had a general understanding of the Great Gas Collar. It was no longer in a vague state. In fact, it seemed as if the fog of war that had locked his eyes had suddenly disappeared. This map was also relatively rough. However, it was enough for Ye Xiwen.
He carefully looked at the map, and found some records about the Evil Corpse Mountain Range. However, it was obvious that the author of this map hadn't figured out the reason. He had only recorded some rumors and some inferences. But, he hadn't come to a correct conclusion.
"However, a person had entered the Great Gas Collar the last time it had opened. And, he had accidentally discovered the exit of a tomb. And, the true face of this Evil Corpse Mountain Range had been revealed. It turned out that there was a huge tomb buried underground. It may have extended for thousands of miles or more. And, the yin energy that had been seeping out of it all year round had slowly transformed the entire mountain range into this state. The corpses of many living creatures on the mountain range had also turned into zombies after many years!" Ding Tong said.
"Everyone, that tomb is in this mountain range. So, everyone must be careful because that insidious fog contains corpse poison!" Gong Yan Jia said. Everyone seemed to have understood this clearly. Ye Xiwen was the only one who had come to know about this. However, the others had already used other methods to understand this place. After all, they were going to do such a dangerous thing. So, how could they not make proper preparations?
A complete Real Elemental Shield suddenly appeared on everyone's body. And, it enveloped them completely. The corpse energy, corpse poison, various kinds of evil energy, and yin energy couldn't get close to their bodies.
However, they immediately felt the dreadfulness of the Evil Corpse Mountain Range as soon as they stepped into it. That was because the Real Elemental Shield on the surface of their bodies had issued a sizzling sound. This was the result of the corrosion of the corpse poison. Moreover, the speed of corrosion was very fast. Fortunately, they had profound cultivation. Perhaps, an ordinary semi-sage expert would've been corroded to death if they had come in here. And, an ordinary sage expert wouldn't have been able to stay inside for a long time.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, countless withered vines swung from all directions in the sky, and swept towards everyone. They wanted to wrap around everyone's body, and drag them away.
Everyone looked carefully, and saw that these vines had come from a withered forest that was more than ten miles away. Countless withered vines had swung from their trees towards them from more than ten miles away.
"Damn it! It's a Pregnant Corpse Tree!" Gu Tian secretly cursed while clenching his teeth. He chopped off a vine that had swung towards him. He was extremely depressed in his heart.
There was a look of dread on everyone's faces. There were no ordinary creatures in this Evil Corpse Mountain Range. Even the plants were the same. Therefore, these Pregnant Corpse Trees were everywhere. The most dreadful thing about these Pregnant Corpse Trees was that they could drag a living creature away. Then, they would absorb all the essence and blood of that creature, and turn it into a mummy. Then, they would become a mummy after being nourished by the Yin wind for a hundred years or even a thousand years. Then, they would transform into zombies. Only then would they be able to escape. Therefore, they had obtained the name 'Pregnant Corpse Tree'.
A tree that could breed zombies was extremely dreadful just thinking about it.
Fortunately, everyone wasn't too close to these trees. They were only separated by more than ten miles. Otherwise, it would've become a big trouble for them. Everyone dispersed the attacking vines one after another, and quickly flew away from this area.
"This Evil Corpse Mountain Range is extremely strange. I don't know how many formidable and strange creatures are living in it. I don't even know how many experts of the Sage Peak and Sage Small Perfection Realm have fallen in this place. So, we must be extremely careful!" Gong Yan Jia's expression became dignified. He had let go of the idea of scheming against Ye Xiwen at this time. After all, these things were even more dreadful. After all, he could only scheme against Ye Xiwen if he could survive.
"Gong Yan Jia, you should have some understanding of this Evil Corpse Mountain Range since you're the one who initiated this operation. You should have a detailed map in your hands, right? Take it out and let us have a look. You should at least give us an idea of what's going on!" Ye Xiwen insipidly said. Ye Xiwen had learned from Ding Tong that Ding Tong, Yue Rui, Gong Yan Jia, and Xiao Yuan Yuan were the original members of this team. However, this operation had been initiated by Gong Yan Jia. And, he was the planner. So, no one would believe that he hadn't made any preparations.
Everyone's gazes fell on Gong Yan Jia. They also knew that this operation had been initiated by Gong Yan Jia. And, they had also experienced the strangeness of this Evil Corpse Mountain Range. It could be said that this place was filled with dangers everywhere. It wouldn't have mattered if there had been nothing. However, Gong Yan Jia had obviously made preparations. He had a map, but he hadn't taken it out. So, he would be making things difficult for all of them. Nobody wanted to die. So, who wouldn't be willing to increase their chances of survival?
Gong Yan Jia shot a glance at Ye Xiwen. His eyes were brimming with killing intention. These people obviously had ulterior motives. And, he had organized such a small team because he wanted to use them as cannon fodder. After all, he would throw them away after using them. So, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, would the dead still pursue his responsibility?
However, this had become a thorny problem now. This group of teammates obviously had ulterior motives. And, they would become even more disunited if he didn't say anything. "How dare you!
Who do you think you are?! " The black-robed Old Yin opened his mouth and said, "Young Master Gong Yan is the captain of our small team. So, why wouldn't we be safe if he has the map? We only need to follow him!"
However, his voice had barely faded when everyone rolled their eyes at him. It would've been fine if this team had been of one mind and one mind. However, everyone was well aware of what was going on.
Gong Yan Jia couldn't help but feel a headache. He was also doubting whether his previous strategy had been wrong. After all, he shouldn't have looked for such a troublesome group of people as cannon fodder.
"Who do you think you are? When did you get the right to speak here?" Ye Xiwen coldly stared at the black-robed Old Yin. He didn't conceal his killing intention at all. Everyone could see the killing intention in his eyes.
Ye Xiwen wouldn't mind killing this black-robed Old Yin if he wanted to start a fight. It had happened suddenly, and he hadn't made any preparations. However, the opposite party hadn't made any preparations either. So, it would be better to strike first and gain the upper hand instead of waiting for the opposite party to launch an attack.
Otherwise, only God knew when he would lead them to a dangerous place.
Obviously, everyone else had the same idea. They didn't trust anyone else. They had been hesitant whether they should open their mouths or not. However, they didn't have any misgivings since Ye Xiwen had taken the lead. They had also seen clearly that the entire team had been divided into two extremes. They were Ye Xiwen and Gong Yan Jia.
Both of them were peerless and ferocious people. So, it wasn't good to provoke them.
"I don't mind sending you to meet your brother if you want to die!" Ye Xiwen said in a low voice. Everyone felt a chill as they heard these words. They suddenly remembered that Ye Xiwen had defeated the white-robed Old Yang as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
Gong Yan Jia took a deep breath as he faced everyone's gazes. He then said, "I didn't intend to keep the map to myself. But, we are of one mind and one mind since we are in the same team. So, I'm willing to show you the map that I've collected!"
