Chapter 651 Bone Beast
Ah Sheng and the other two stood up and looked inside, but still found nothing.
But the ground was clearly shaking, yet they still couldn't see anything.
Mu Jinning looked inside, then at the Stone of Life and Death before her, and said softly, "Is it true that we have to step over this big rock to see everything inside?"
They could all clearly sense that something was approaching.
Zhong Ran's expression and actions just now also showed that she had sensed something.
But at this moment, they can't see anything.
Upon hearing this, Ah Sheng immediately strode inside.
Mu Jinning and Zhong Yan exchanged a glance. Zhong Yan went in first, while Mu Jinning waited for Zhong Ran to join them.
"slowly?"
Zhong Ran said with a solemn expression, "Ah Jin, this place is really strange. We should be careful."
Not to mention the deathly aura and gray mist permeating the entire forest, the remnant souls clinging to the trees are extremely eerie.
She was too surprised at the time to look closely; she'll take a good look once she goes inside.
Seeing her so serious, Mu Jinning's initial relief vanished.
He reached out and took her hand, whispering, "Okay, let's go."
After stepping over the Stone of Life and Death, a line of words appeared before my eyes, large characters formed from gray gas.
Once you cross the boundary between life and death, you bear the responsibility for your own life and death!
The eight large characters exuded a chilling aura of death, sending shivers down one's spine and sending a bone-corroding death energy seeping into one's body.
Mu Jinning held her hand tightly, and streams of energy flowed into her body, making her voice much softer.
"Passing the Stone of Life and Death, you bear the consequences of your own actions! How interesting, shouldn't these warnings be at the beginning?"
Ah Sheng and Zhong Yan remained standing in front, clearly also adjusting to the discomfort.
Ah Sheng turned around and shook his body vigorously, muttering, "Sister, brother, it's very uncomfortable in here. Why don't we go back?"
These auras, along with the mist surrounding him, seemed to clog his meridians and pores, making him feel unable to exert any strength.
Mu Jinning turned to look at Zhong Ran and saw that she didn't seem to be feeling any discomfort. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how strong this girl's constitution was.
He pulled her forward several steps, and the milky white halo around him enveloped Ah Sheng as well.
Ah Sheng sensed the comfortable aura emanating from him and instinctively moved closer.
"Senior brother, you feel so comfortable."
Zhong Ran looked at Zhong Yan and asked softly, "Xiao Yan, how are you feeling?"
Zhong Yan nodded slowly: "Sister, when I walked in here, I had a very strange feeling, as if some voice was calling me."
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning exchanged a glance, and their first thought was of his bloodline: the bloodline of death.
The place was filled with the aura of death, and he sensed a voice calling to him.
"It seems we made the right choice coming here." Mu Jinning smiled slightly. "But this place is too eerie, so we still need to be careful."
"Roar!" A beastly roar came, but the sound was much muffled, not like a real beast, but rather like a strange beast that crawled out of hell.
Before they could think it through, a tall figure came into their view.
When Ah Sheng saw the figure clearly, he was stunned for a moment: "Sister, why doesn't it have fur or flesh?"
Zhong Ran's lips twitched. This place is called the Forest of Death, and it is filled with the aura of death. What kind of beast can survive in this place?
Bone Beast.
The large figure approaching was a beast, but a bone beast.
The white bones were surrounded by a grayish-white mist, which also emitted a grayish-white glow, making people's hair stand on end.
"Let's go, this marks the official start of our journey to death."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Zhong Ran had a strange feeling; the sentence itself was rather eerie.
Ah Sheng stood there for a long time, not moving. He didn't like this kind of beast without meat.
"Where did these bone beasts come from?"
After muttering something, Zhong Yan rushed forward, leaping into the air and smashing a fist into the bone beast's head.
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning followed, leaving Asheng behind.
As Zhong Yan's fist slammed down, the bone beast's head snapped back, unleashing a grayish-white attack that emanated a palpable sense of impending death.
Zhong Yan couldn't help but grin, and with a flash, he appeared behind the bone beast and slammed his fist down again.
He had never felt fear from the aura of death emanating from himself before; this was the first time he had ever experienced such a deadly danger.
Strangely, this death crisis is not fatal, which seems contradictory yet very real.
He punched the bone beast, but instead of falling apart as he had expected, he felt a sharp pain in his fist.
He was startled as the bone beast's tail lashed out at him. Without a second thought, he leaped back to Zhong Ran's side.
He looked down at his fist, which also gleamed with a pale white aura.
As the technique was activated, the deathly mist above was absorbed.
"It's actually quite easy to kill these bone beasts. Just absorb the death energy on their bodies, and they should fall apart on their own."
Mu Jinning said, "This place truly exists for you and your brother."
Both the siblings can absorb these auras, and perhaps they can continue to advance within them.
Zhong Ran said softly, "More than that? There are still remnants of souls clinging to those trees, and we don't know how long those remnants of souls have been there."
"What?" Zhong Yan couldn't help but lick his thin lips, his eyes gleaming. "No wonder I always felt like something was calling me from here. It must be these."
He couldn't help but laugh like a child: "Sister, maybe I can break through to the Void Refinement Realm and cultivate an Avatar here."
Zhong Ran smiled and nodded: "Let's go, make the most of this opportunity."
This place was truly tailor-made for him; the aura of death permeated the entire area, making it the perfect place for his cultivation.
She could even cultivate here; let's see if she can break through her cultivation level this time.
Zhong Yan charged toward the bone beast again. This time, instead of punching it, he dodged to a position where the bone beast couldn't reach him, placed his hand directly on it, and used his cultivation technique to devour the death energy on it.
Zhong Ran, Mu Jinning, and Asheng walked slowly inside together.
"The aura of death, or the aura of the underworld."
Mu Jinning's voice was very soft as she kept looking around: "The dark energy here is so dense, there are two possibilities."
"Either there is a treasure of the Netherworld here, or there is a passage connecting to the Netherworld."
Otherwise, there would be no continuous generation of ethereal energy.
Zhong Ran paused, then realized what was happening.
Even if some powerful figure from the underworld had once lived in seclusion here, it wouldn't have been possible to fill the entire forest with an aura of death and maintain it for who knows how many years.
However, it is true that this forest itself has some eerie aspects.
At least, they hadn't sensed the intense aura of death inside when they were outside.
