A few days later, Lu Xiaotian looked at the dispersing black shadows in the sky with an ugly expression. These damned duckbill birds, when they were chasing him before, they were too close and he had injured one of them. He did not expect these monster birds to be so vengeful. After chasing them for a few days, because there were too many monster birds, he was separated from Su Qing and Luo Qian. Only Su Qing knew the location of the Gold Condensing Fruit. Now that he was alone, it would not be easy to find the Gold Condensing Fruit.
Not only did the duckbill birds hold a grudge, but they also chased him for a few days before dispersing unwillingly. Lu Xiaotian came back to his senses and found that the place he was now in was surrounded by a burst of smoke. Smelling a fishy smell in his nose, he felt a slight dizziness in a moment. Lu Xiaotian was shocked. This black smoke was poisonous, he quickly took out a pill to detoxify it and swallowed it. The dizziness lessened slightly. No wonder these duckbill birds gave up chasing him, it was probably because of the poisonous fog here.
In any case, he finally got rid of the monster birds' pursuit and was temporarily safe. Lu Xiaotian looked around, there was nothing else but the black smoke. It was just that he was unfamiliar with this place, and it would not be easy to meet up with Su Qing and Luo Qian. Not only were there Profound Leaf City cultivators nearby, but there were also foreign cultivators. Su Qing and Luo Qian would not stay in the same place and wait for him. Maybe they had already escaped the crisis. Lu Xiaotian did not want to think about the Gold Condensing Fruit for the time being. The most important thing now was to figure out where he was.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian's heart moved and he took out the Soul Imprisoning Pearl he had obtained from the red headscarf old man Chang Dahai.
"Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, you finally appeared." The primordial spirit in the Soul Confining Pearl was originally a little sluggish, but when it suddenly felt a divine sense sweep in, the primordial spirit was immediately overjoyed.
"I have a question for you. Since you are a cultivator from the Myriad Beasts Pavilion, you should be familiar with the area around Profound Leaf City, right?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"Not at all, not at all. Fellow Daoist, you must be a foreign cultivator. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know," the Yuan Shen hastily said.
"Alright. Right now, I'm in a place filled with dense forests. There are towering trees all around, and there's a poisonous black fog everywhere. Do you know where this place is?"
Lu Xiaotian asked. He was alone and could not meet any other cultivators. Now, he could only ask the Soul Essence in the Soul Confining Pearl. He could feel that this place was full of danger. If he were to wander around without knowing the situation, he might inadvertently stumble into the territory of some other powerful demonic beasts or accidentally stumble into other dangerous places. Since there was a Primordial Spirit in the Soul Confining Pearl, there was no reason for him to ignore it.
"No way, you've entered the Fog Forbidden Area!" the Soul Essence in the Soul Confining Pearl cried out.
"The Fog Forbidden Area? What kind of place is that?" Lu Xiaotian's heart trembled. From the other party's shocked tone, he could tell that this place was not ordinary.
"The Fog Forbidden Area is a mysterious place between the Setting Sun Field and Green Pool Mountain. It's extremely dangerous. In the past, cultivators from nearby sects or Profound Leaf City who mistakenly entered the Fog Forbidden Area would either die or be injured. Less than one in ten would come out alive. I heard that in the past, there were also Jin Dan cultivators who died here. However, it was a long time ago, so I don't know if it's true or not. However, the chances of a Foundation Establishment cultivator leaving this place alive are extremely low. "The Primordial Spirit sucked in a breath of cold air and said," Why did Fellow Daoist come to this damned place? "
"I was chased by a group of demonic beasts. I had no choice but to hide in this strange place. Do you think I wanted to come here?" Lu Xiaotian snapped. According to the words of this Primordial Spirit, the Fog Forbidden Area was extremely dangerous. It would not be easy to leave, let alone find Su Qing. Thinking that the Gold Condensing Fruit might have been taken by someone else, Lu Xiaotian could not help but feel agitated.
"So that's how it is. I've only heard rumors about the Fog Forbidden Area and have never really entered it. If Fellow Daoist was the one who killed Chang Dahai, then with Fellow Daoist's strength, there is still a glimmer of hope for you to leave this place." The Primordial Spirit heard Lu Xiaotian's angry voice and gave a hollow laugh.
"In that case, you're not very familiar with this place." Lu Xiaotian said in a deep voice.
"Fellow Daoist, you don't have to worry. Although I have never entered this place, several of my fellow disciples have, so I know a little about it. I hope it can be of help to Fellow Daoist. The Green Pool Mountain is a branch of the Full Moon Mountain Range, but the degree of danger is not inferior to the Full Moon Mountain Range. Because the Setting Sun Field is rich in resources and has a large number of demonic beasts, a considerable number of demonic beasts from the Green Pool Mountain Range will enter the Setting Sun Field to hunt. In the long run, a kind of migration has been formed. They are distributed in a ring around the Green Pool Mountain Range, blocking the sunlight at the intersection of the Setting Sun Field and causing the Yin Qi here to be heavy. Over time, many poisonous creatures were born, forming the Fog Forbidden Area. "
"Are there Rank Seven demonic beasts here?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"Rumor has it that there were some demonic beasts in the past. They were very frequent, and most of the human cultivators who entered here died. Later, the Jin Dan cultivators of the Xuanye City fought with the demonic beasts of Rank Seven and above and killed many of them. The high-rank demonic beasts then retreated into the depths of the Green Pool Mountain Range. Now, it is rare to encounter high-rank demonic beasts."
Lu Xiaotian sighed in his heart. As long as there were no demonic beasts of Rank Seven and above, there was room to maneuver.
"However, Fellow Daoist should not think that there are no demonic beasts of Rank Seven and above that you can sit back and relax. In the Setting Sun Field, many of the demonic beasts of the Green Pool Mountain live in groups. Those huge groups of thousands of demonic beasts, even the Jin Dan cultivators have to retreat when they encounter them. Once a Foundation Establishment cultivator falls into them, he will most likely die." Before Lu Xiaotian could relax, the Primordial Spirit said in a dignified tone.
"Are there any huge groups of demonic beasts in this area?"
"There are, and there are many of them. Outside the Lost Forbidden Area, there are huge groups of Fire Crows and Fire Bats. At the edge of the Lost Forbidden Area, there are also groups of Poisonous Golden Ants and Golden Leeches. As for the Lost Forbidden Area, there are countless groups of Black Beetles and terrifying groups of Blood Dogs … If you are not careful and fall into them, even the Jin Dan cultivators may not be able to save you. These demonic beasts have multiplied for countless years, and their numbers have reached a jaw-dropping level. "The Primordial Spirit's tone was very dignified, and it was obvious that he was recalling some scenes from the past.
Lu Xiaotian was also testing the waters. He had personally experienced the groups of Fire Crows and Fire Bats. Since the Primordial Spirit spoke of them, Lu Xiaotian naturally believed him. Those strange duckbill birds that he encountered before should be the Duckbill Orioles that the Primordial Spirit spoke of.
"You and that Chang Dahai are from the same sect, have you heard of the rumors of the Gold Condensing Fruit nearby?" After asking a little about the Bewildering Fog Forbidden Area, Lu Xiaotian asked the question that he was most concerned about.
"Gold Condensing Fruit? How does Fellow Daoist know of this? "The Primordial Spirit's tone was extremely surprised.
"Naturally, I heard it from Chang Dahai."
After hesitating for a moment, the Primordial Spirit hesitated and said, "I know a bit about the Gold Condensing Fruit, but I'm afraid that there are other people who know about it. Although they may not be able to find the location of the Gold Condensing Fruit, I can't rule out this possibility. If Fellow Daoist is determined, I can help Fellow Daoist find the Gold Condensing Fruit. However, as a trade, I hope that Fellow Daoist can help me with something. "
"What is it?"
"Now that my physical body has been destroyed and my Primordial Spirit has been sealed in this Soul-Sealing Pearl, I don't even have the qualifications to reincarnate. I'm afraid that I can only struggle at death's door by becoming a ghost cultivator. As long as Fellow Daoist helps me obtain a ghost body, I will do my best to help Fellow Daoist obtain the Gold Condensing Fruit. "
"Ghost cultivator? You dare, don't you have a master? How about I give the Soul-Sealing Pearl to your master after I obtain the Gold Condensing Fruit? "
"My master? No, absolutely not. If he knows that this good-for-nothing disciple of mine has become a ghost cultivator, I'm afraid that he will be the first to not let me off. Begging my master, isn't that courting death? "The Primordial Spirit hurriedly shook his head and said.
"Ghost body? Where am I going to find it for you? Those who can make a ghost body are probably looking for evil things like Yin Corpses. This kind of place is not easy to find. Moreover, places where such evil things appear usually have other evil things. I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." Lu Xiaotian frowned and said.
"I know a place where there are indeed some powerful Yin Corpses that are not inferior to cultivators in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. However, if Fellow Daoist doesn't even have this bit of strength, I advise you not to have any ideas about the Gold Condensing Fruit. Otherwise, if you are not strong enough, you might die." The Primordial Spirit said coldly.
"In that case, there's nothing more to say. I'll destroy the Soul-Sealing Pearl now." Lu Xiaotian was annoyed. The Gold Condensing Fruit was indeed rare and precious, but he had the Gold Condensing Jin Dan. If he was willing to take some risks and secretly operate in Full Moon City, he might be able to exchange for the Gold Condensing Fruit. In the eyes of other cultivators, the Gold Condensing Jin Dan was much more precious than the Gold Condensing Fruit. After all, no matter how high one's alchemy level was, there was no guarantee that one could refine a pill in one furnace. He did not have to beg the Primordial Spirit in front of him.
"Don't, don't, Fellow Daoist, take it that I'm begging you." Hearing Lu Xiaotian's angry tone, the Primordial Spirit suddenly panicked. "How about this, I'll help you get the Gold Condensing Fruit first. After it's done, you go to a place where there's a skeleton. I'll make do with it and use the skeleton as my main body. This way, you don't have to help me hunt other Yin Corpses. You only need to protect me during the process of transforming into a ghost cultivator. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"
Lu Xiaotian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. In fact, it was not that he was unwilling to help the Primordial Spirit hunt a stronger Yin Corpse, but he did not like that threatening tone. However, now that the Primordial Spirit had changed its target, Lu Xiaotian was also happy to do so. It would not take much effort just to take the thing. After all, as a ghost cultivator, he would definitely commit a lot of sins in the future. Once this matter was over, the next time they met, they might be enemies.
"Eh?" Just as he finished talking with the Primordial Spirit, a slight rustling sound came from the dense forest. It seemed that something was moving.
"What's wrong?" The Primordial Spirit was trapped in the Soul Forbidding Pearl. Only after Lu Xiaotian's Primordial Spirit entered could he communicate with it. He could not sense the situation outside.
"There seems to be a lot of things moving not far away. There's a lot of rustling sounds. I'll go take a look." After Lu Xiaotian finished speaking, he planned to go take a look at what it was. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. He did not want to be suddenly attacked by something.
"Don't, it's a black cockroach swarm. Run, run to a place where there's no sound. Otherwise, it'll be too late." Lu Xiaotian had just taken a step when the Primordial Spirit cried out in fear.
"Black cockroach swarm?" While Lu Xiaotian was in a daze, countless fist-sized black beetles that looked like cockroaches flapped their wings and shot several feet away. The innumerable black beetles formed a black wave that wildly surged towards Lu Xiaotian. A dozen Mountain Apes and Fierce Tigers with different auras were fleeing in panic. However, they did not run far before they were submerged by the black wave. The Mountain Ape, in particular, had already reached the strength of a Rank Five monster. With a slap of its paw, countless black beetles were smashed to pieces. However, these black beetles did not seem to know fear at all. For such a huge swarm, several hundred black beetles were just a drop in the ocean. The Mountain Ape carelessly slapped a few times. After that, dozens of black beetles climbed up its forearms and legs and burrowed into the Mountain Ape's fur to bite. The Mountain Ape let out a series of strange cries and its two forearms slapped randomly. The black beetles that climbed onto the Mountain Ape's body were all slapped to death without any suspense. However, as the Mountain Ape slapped one to death, two, three, and even more black beetles climbed onto its body. In the blink of an eye, the originally earthy yellow Mountain Ape's body was covered with a thick black armor. The Mountain Ape let out a long and miserable cry. After slapping its paws to no avail, it struggled and rolled on the ground. However, not long after, the black beetles on the Mountain Ape's body had rolled into a huge ball. The black beetles rushed in and out without any fear. As long as they smelled a trace of blood, they would become even more frenzied.
In the blink of an eye, the Mountain Ape, which was originally quite powerful, was submerged by the black wave.
There were also a few Demon Rats and Demon Monkeys that had climbed onto the trees. They looked at the surging black wave on the ground in horror, attempting to escape this disaster. However, the black beetles that were climbing up the trees quickly dispelled these Demon Beasts' fantasies. Not long after, these Demon Rats and Demon Monkeys shrieked as they fell from the sky along with the black beetles on their bodies.
Although the strength of each of them did not exceed the Third Rank, Lu Xiaotian could not help but feel his scalp go numb when he saw the black wave. Especially those Demon Beasts that were submerged by the black wave. The stronger ones were only able to struggle for a short while. Faced with these black beetles that did not fear death and did not know what to do, they were truly at their wits' end. Lu Xiaotian exhaled and directly summoned the black flying sword, intending to fly away on it. However, the flying sword did not move at all.
"What's going on? I can't fly on my sword in the Lost Forbidden Area. Is there any way? "Lu Xiaotian's heart tightened and he hurriedly sealed his Divine Sense into the Soul Confining Pearl again.
