After all this trouble, their progress was forced to speed up.
Originally, it would have taken several hours to keep formation and carefully cross the Tree Demon valley. Now after such a desperate run, we have advanced a lot of time.
The team's formation has not changed now. There are still four people on guard outside, with Dong Mengyao in the center to provide support.
Dong Mengyao's legs were still not flexible, and she suffered from strong numbness and pain, but she gritted her teeth and followed the team without any hindrance. She is also a woman with a lot of backbone.
Autumn Cloud Lake is really not far from Jiang City. You can reach it by walking out of the dense forest in the first section, the Tree Demon valley in the middle section, and then passing through the dark marsh creek in front.
Not to mention flying in the wind, driving probably only takes an afternoon.
It's just that it takes a whole day because of the many evil spirits and difficulties.
Walking down the slope outside the valley, there are countless large and small depressions scattered below. The large ones are comparable to lakes, and the small ones are puddles. Some of them are clear water, and some are pure black swamps.
There are no green and towering trees around. At most, there are some dark and dry branches and bushes that block the sight. It looks gloomy. "The Yin Qi here is strong and Nightmare Object is prone to occur. It is said that there is at least one dead soul in every swamp." Luo Bawen also warned, "Try to stay away from the water when traveling."
Yue Wen raised his eyes and looked at the dense swamp ahead. I really don't know how many people died here.
When he got here, he killed about seven or eight evil spirits. Because they were not very strong, the total number of Demon Suppressing Coin was less than a hundred. He realized that he might have thought too wonderfully about Wasteland Zone before, thinking that it was some kind of paradise filled with evil spirits.
But in fact, although there are indeed evil spirits here, they all have their own territories, and there is a sense of boundary between them. The density of evil spirits is far less than that of the original simulated Wasteland Zone.
Especially since there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons here, there are many powerful evil spirits, and he does not dare to look for monsters to kill as unscrupulously as he did in the simulation Wasteland Zone before.
The overall efficiency is much lower.
Alas, Yue Wen sighed silently in his heart.
I just hope that the rest of the journey won't be too peaceful, so that he can accumulate enough Demon Suppressing Coin before going back... He can't just soak in Wasteland Zone all the time. But it shouldn't be too dangerous.
Since entering Wasteland Zone, Yue Wen feels a bit like a little daughter-in-law who has entered a new house. She is afraid that it will not come, but also afraid that it will be too fierce. Just as she was thinking, a faint cry for help suddenly sounded in front of her, "Help... Help..."
"What's the sound?" Dong Mengyao looked over.
I saw a hand and a head sticking out from the center of the water ahead, struggling and calling for help.
"Ignore it!" Luo Bawen said without turning his eyes, "It must be evil."
"But..." Dong Mengyao was not impulsively going to rescue him, but he was slightly hesitant in his heart.
Luo Bawen said, "Once you jump down, do you know how many water ghosts will be waiting for you below? They will all restrain their breath and wait there. They don't even have to jump. If a living person touches the water a little bit, a large group of water ghosts will immediately appear, scrambling to drag you down and devour you. How can there be a chance to call for help there?"
Dong Mengyao shrink his neck and dare not show any overflowing love.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Yue Wen's gaze is slightly lingering... Are there many water ghosts down there?
This water area is a large, surging and wide river with a single-plank bridge on the water. The team had to change into one file and walk across it in succession. Luo Bawen walked at the first, and Yue Wen took the initiative to walk at the end.
The hand that was calling for help in the middle of the water was also missing. I wonder if he was afraid of the breath of several people.
While walking, Yue Wen suddenly noticed something was wrong.
There were five people on the single-plank bridge, but what was reflected on the water next to them were actually six shadows.
He looked carefully again, yes, there were two women and three men on the bridge, and the shadows in the water were clearly four men, one more!
Yue Wen did not say anything, but asked quietly, "Two seniors, there is one more shadow in the water, is it Nightmare Object?"
Luo Bawen glanced sideways and immediately exclaimed, "It's Shadow Nightmare!"
"This..." Dong Mengyao heard the sound and looked over, and couldn't help but said, "This shadow is getting closer and closer."
They watched the changes in the shadow and found that it was not only getting closer and closer, but also seemed to be gradually growing and changing its shape...
"It's really unlucky that such a thing is born in Anze Creek." Luo Bawen said, "This Shadow Nightmare specializes in following pedestrians passing by on the water. It will gradually imitate the opponent's body movements. When it has the same shape and movements as the person, it will attach itself to that person!" "Huh?" Several young people suddenly became nervous, "How to kill this nightmare?"
"It's difficult to kill it in the water." Luo Bawen said, "Let's put in more weird postures and try to make it difficult to imitate. If it walks through this river, it won't be able to do anything. Don't fly. It's best to imitate the moment you take off."
After saying that, Luo Bawen suddenly performed a handstand movement, then spread his legs, and his body suddenly began to rotate... turning himself around like a helicopter!
Along with this scene, the extra shadow seemed to be stunned for a moment...
Fat Auntie smiled heartily and said, "It can't imitate my body shape even if you give it a day."
Her shadow was indeed larger than others underwater, making it extremely difficult to imitate. With a confident smile, she strode over.
Hearing this, Dong Mengyao also pushed his chest hard, and the shadow on the water suddenly became more plump and prominent, forming a sharp contrast with the three men's figures behind him. Xiao Chubai secretly said something bad, and immediately took out his four Golden Saber, raised it high above his head and turned it, and his shadow on the water had an extra circle, which made it more difficult to imitate.
Then Xiao Chubai looked back at Yue Wen behind him, wanting to see what moves he was making.
If Yue Wen's performance is too difficult, then he should be more cunning. As long as he is not the best imitator in the team, then Shadow Nightmare should not target him. This danger is what Yue Wen should worry about.
The so-called dead Daoist friend is not dead but a poor Daoist...
When he turned around, he was horrified to find that the Yue Wen behind him had completely disappeared!
Not only was he gone, but his shadow was also gone, and there was nothing behind him.
Where has he gone?
Can it be invisible?
This is simply a scam!
Yue Wen disappeared, leaving only four people on the bridge and five shadows on the water.
The helicopter Luo Bawen and the large shadow Fat Auntie in front were both safe and sound, and they were almost crossing the bridge.
Dong Mengyao saw that it seemed unsafe to hold his head high, so he took out a big fluffy tail from Storage Magic Artifact and hung it on his waist, suddenly adding another shadow.
Xiao Chubai His eyesight went dark again, no, where did your tail come from?
Why do you carry something like this with you?
When he was thinking about taking out something big, he saw the fifth black shadow in the water had raised his hand, and a circle slowly grew in his palm.
Broken!
He only had time to exclaim in his heart, and the extra shadow instantly became consistent with his own.
Then in an instant, the two shadows merged into one, Xiao Chubai rolled his eyes, and fell down.
Yue Wen's figure immediately appeared behind him.
It turned out that he had just heard that Shadow Nightmare imitated the shadow upper body, and activated Maze Tracking Art on the spot. The body disappeared, and the shadow naturally disappeared. This move left Shadow Nightmare helpless.
The disadvantage of Maze Tracking Art is that you need to walk slowly, and you can't go too fast when crossing this single-plank bridge.
The moment Xiao Chubai was taken over, Shadow Nightmare's threat disappeared, and Yue Wen was no longer worried.
He showed up and caught Xiao Chubai. He felt that Xiao Chubai was still full of vitality, but the aura in his body was quite chaotic, so he shouted, "Brother Xiao seems to have been possessed."
"Alas." Luo Bawen said helplessly after crossing the single-plank bridge, "Why is it always him?"
After the remaining four people had crossed the bridge, they placed Xiao Chubai in the middle. Luo Bawen said, "After all, he is also a Gang Realm practitioner, so he will not be taken over by Shadow Nightmare so easily. Physical body. Now his soul is fighting with the external Shadow Nightmare in his body, and it should last for a long time. If he wins, that's it; if he loses, then he will be taken away by Nightmare Object in the future..."
"Is there no way to crack it?" Yue Wen frowned.
Hu Jiuyi is right, Nightmare Object with this rule system in Wasteland Zone is really difficult to deal with. Either you have to cultivate much higher than it, or you have to break its rules.
If you don't occupy both points, it will be very dangerous.
"There is a way to help him." Fat Auntie looked at Luo Bawen and said, "It's not easy for a child to cultivate to this level at such a young age. Let's save him if we can."
"Oh." Luo Bawen smiled bitterly, "I know you are soft-hearted."
Then he said, "Use the Xiangyin wood growing in the creek to make a fire and put it on top to burn it. This will drive Nightmare Object out of his body."
The Xiangyin wood grows sparsely, so it would take a long way to collect enough to warm the fire. And it is too dangerous for one person to go out to collect, so at least two people must accompany them.
Yue Wen saw that Luo Bawen was unwilling to take risks, so he said to Fat Auntie, "If Sister Yu wants to go, then I will accompany you to collect Xiangyin wood." Luo Bawen said with a smile, "We are more familiar with each other, and we have a tacit understanding when working together. If I don't accompany her, it would seem like I'm being unkind." "I knew you would definitely help." Fat Auntie also smiled, "You say you seek stability in everything, but in fact you have the kindest heart."
She then said to Yue Wen and Dong Mengyao, "You two are here to guard him. It may take us about an hour to get there. No matter what noise you hear, don't leave! You must wait for us here."
"Yes." Yue Wen nodded, "We will guard this place."
The two older generation practitioners left together to collect Xiangyin wood from everywhere.
Xiao Chubai was lying on the shore, and Dong Mengyao sat on the ground next to him. He also said to Yue Wen, "While I am not in a hurry, I want to concentrate on using my energy to draw out the poisonous blood, so as not to be delayed later. Can you protect me by the way?"
"No problem." Yue Wen agreed.
Anyway, guarding one is guarding, and guarding two is guarding. His innate first-grade Chaos Dragon Gang is powerful and vigorous, far from the point where he needs to adjust his breath and move his skills. So, Luo Bawen and Fat Auntie went out together; Dong Mengyao sat on the ground and moved around, unaware of external objects; Xiao Chubai fainted on the ground, his face changing from yin to yang...
Only Yue Wen is left conscious.
There was no net here, and he couldn't practice, so he suddenly felt a little bored. Looking at the vast and cold water, Yue Wen suddenly remembered that Luo Bawen had just said that there were many water ghosts under the water.
It would be great if I could hunt a few Nightmare Object during this time.
Just...
They all suppress their aura and hide under the water. How to hook them out?
Yue Wen's gaze turned around and landed on Xiao Chubai next to him.
Huh?
