Demon King’s Pampered Wife - C199 Deep into the Ghost Forest(part Ii)

At this time, there were at least a hundred people gathered outside of the ghost forest. They were all sticking their heads out of the black fog, but no one dared to take a step forward.

Zi Ling stood outside the crowd and did not push forward. She released her divine intent to try to enter the black mist, but she discovered that even divine intent could not penetrate this place, so she could only retract her divine intent.

“Look, that person is fine even after ten steps inside.”

Zi Ling followed the voice and looked forward, and indeed, she saw the back of a man standing ten meters away from her in the fog. But because the black fog was becoming thicker, his figure was also faintly discernible, but looking at his slow footsteps and slightly trembling body, she understood that the black fog was not easy to walk on.

“If he can do it, we can definitely do it too.” Someone summoned up the courage to take a step forward, but the moment they touched the black fog, they cried out miserably.

Blisters began to appear on his originally smooth and smooth skin like boiling water. Those who fell to the ground were in great pain as they screamed in pain.

The surrounding people sucked in a breath of cold air as they all took a step back.

“Who is that person? He can actually move forward?” At this moment, everyone was curious about the man who had walked more than ten steps forward.

After all, the tragedy that someone had just attempted to enter the black fog was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

“I don’t know. He was already in the Ghost Forest when we arrived.”

At this moment, the black mist shook, and a heart-wrenching scream rang out from within the ghost forest.

The man who was already more than 10 steps deep into the Ghost Forest turned into a mass of blood mist in the blink of an eye, and was completely absorbed by the black mist. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

The timid ones outside the ghost forest had screamed out in fear. They were far away from the black fog. Those that were bold didn’t dare to get too close.

The purple silk had not moved an inch, but as the people in front all retreated, her position became closer to the front.

“Who said that being able to pass through this damned place is equivalent to throwing away their lives?” Some people were scared out of their wits, and did not believe that this place could be passed.

“We can’t pass because our strength is lacking. I saw it with my own eyes. A few hours ago, the little phoenix from Phoenix Mountain entered. It walked very quickly and disappeared within the blink of an eye.”

“She disappeared. How do you know she wasn’t swallowed by the black fog like the other person?”

Only Zi Ling’s eyes flickered as she stared at the black mist. Since Ye Shan had gone in, why wouldn’t she go in?

Just as he was about to take a step forward, he was suddenly interrupted by a clamor from behind him.

“Make way, make way …”

Very quickly, the crowd was pushed aside. Although Zi Ling was standing at the front, she wasn’t too conspicuous at the edge. Soon, a group of people walked out from the separated crowd.

Zi Ling slightly frowned. She could clearly feel that this group of people wasn’t weak, especially the young man at the front of the group.

The young man had a somewhat heroic expression. Although he wasn’t extremely handsome, he wasn’t ugly either. It was just a pair of eyes, and it was a bit cruel.

Lei Yu walked straight to the edge of the black mist. After a moment of hesitation, he extended his hand forward.

The surrounding people’s breathing became sluggish at the same time, but the expected result did not happen. The young man withdrew his hand and entered the black mist without looking back. Not only that, the five or six people behind him did the same and entered the ghost forest in the blink of an eye.

When this group of people left, a lot more people were tempted. However, they did not dare to take a step forward and continued to linger around the black fog.

Zi Ling had also heard some things about that man just now. So his name was Lei Yu, and his father was one of the few Profound Kings on the continent. No wonder his strength wasn’t weak.

Zi Ling wanted to move on to this point, so she stopped thinking and forced the spiritual qi to form a protective shield around her body, walking slowly amongst the noisy crowd.

It was only when she had gradually disappeared into the black mist that someone finally said, “I seem to have seen someone walk in there just now.”

Firstly, she had started to stand outside the crowd, and secondly, they had allowed her to stand in front of them. Secondly, she had also stood at the edge of the group, and later on, the crowd was shocked by Lei Yu’s strength when he broke into the Ghost Forest.

“That’s right, I just saw someone here.”

“Who?” Someone else went in? ”

“That’s right, she was standing in front of me just now. I didn’t notice what she looked like, and in the blink of an eye, she had already entered. By the time I blinked my eyes to see her clearly, she was already gone.”

First, there was Lei Yu, and then there was the Purple Silk. In a short period of time, two experts had entered the forest, greatly stimulating the confidence of the slightly stronger ones. Soon, there were three experts of Mysterious Master level approaching the black fog.

After trying for a while, the three of them felt that they could handle it, so they started walking inside.

Some Black Tortoise Cultivators who had just reached the initial stage of the Xuan Master Stage did not dare to try again. They could only obediently guard the black fog to see if a miracle had happened.

Tss tss …

Zi Ling felt the spirit energy barrier being attacked by the black fog, but she wasn’t worried. The spirit energy within her body was very abundant, so the amount of spirit energy consumed by the black fog was negligible.

At the beginning, she walked very quickly, but gradually, she realized that something was wrong and slowed down. She was unable to use her spiritual sense, so she vigilantly observed her surroundings.

Everything was eerily quiet, except for the sound of her footsteps. However, she had the feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Hiss …

Violet Ling’s ears moved, catching a very soft sound. Her eyes turned. Was it a snake?

She stopped in her tracks and remained where she was. The black fog was getting thicker and thicker. Even with her sharp eyes, she could not see more than three meters away. Since there were movements in her surroundings and she didn’t have the upper hand, she could only react in an unchanging manner.

Hiss …

The voice seemed to come closer. This sound was as soft as the sound of someone swallowing. It was likely that no one with a weaker strength would be able to detect it.

Zi Ling slightly turned her body, carefully identifying the source of the sound.

However, after a while, the hissing sounds became more and more frequent. Although it was extremely light, it still couldn’t escape the ears of Zi Ling.

Zi Ling’s expression became cold, as if those creatures were surrounding her.

Just as Zi Ling was focusing her attention to listen, the sound of something tearing through the air suddenly shot out from all directions.

“Chi! Chi! Chi!” Strange sounds successively rang out from the spirit energy barrier wall. Zi Ling’s brows twitched and she waved her hand. Instantly, fire filled the air and even the surrounding thick black fog was burned by the fire until a vacuum was revealed.

The ground was covered with countless black strips that writhed on the ground. After being burnt by the fire, they seemed to be in extreme pain as they writhed about crazily.

What is it?

Zi Ling carefully observed and found that this thing was as nimble as a snake, constantly squirming as it stuck to the ground. However, if one looked closely, that small and dry body was like the skin of a plant.

Those things were hibernating near the purple silk. They did not immediately attack. The purple silk had the protection of spirit energy so it was not afraid of these things. It only paused for a moment before continuing its advance.

As she moved forward, all of the vines blocking her path were burned away by the flames, and they all twisted around her body in a violent manner.

At this time, Lei Yu led his six subordinates and entered the depths of the Ghost Forest. The six of them spread out around Lei Yu and cleaned up the Ghost Vines that were attacking him.

“Ah …”

Suddenly, the only girl among them let out a blood-curdling screech as a Ghost Vine as thick as an arm wrapped itself around her leg. In the blink of an eye, her slender white leg was mangled into a bloody mess by the vine.

Clang…

A martial arts expert next to the woman used all his strength to slash at the Ghost Vine, but the Ghost Vine was as hard as iron and as hard as steel.

The woman’s scream became even more mournful. The two Black Tortoise warriors beside could not save her no matter how hard they tried. The woman’s leg rapidly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye and was dragged several feet away by the ghost vine.

Lei Yu turned his head back and didn’t even furrow his brows, “Continue moving forward.”

The woman’s cries came to a stop as all the vines around her surged towards her. Her body was entangled by dense Ghost Vines, and in the blink of an eye, she had turned into a black chrysalis. Bright red blood flowed out of the Ghost Vines, and after a short while, it was absorbed by the Ghost Vines that rushed up again.

The five Black Tortoise Soldiers carefully stood around Lei Yu. They did not have much of a reaction to the woman’s death, Lei Yu’s expression was normal, as if the one who died was an unrelated person, he did not even give her any superfluous looks, and continued walking forward without even turning his head back.

“Master, something is very wrong here.”

A retainer beside Lei Yu said. The dense Ghost Vines in the surroundings had become extremely sparse. They did not attack anyone, but instead seemed to be deliberately allowing them to move forward.

Lei Yu stopped in his tracks. Although he had brought more than ten servants with him, after searching for a few hours, he had only found six people. This place was not clear, and he had been holding back his strength so he did not act rashly.

“Yes, Master.” A man dressed in black answered and started walking forward.

Before coming here, he had just broken through to the last level of the Mysterious Master rank. He was not the strongest among his master’s subordinates, but he was not weak either. Therefore, even though the environment was strange, he still relied on his extraordinary strength and was not too worried.

The surrounding black fog was even thicker. As he carefully moved forward, he paid attention to his surroundings.

After he was about a hundred feet away, the man did not discover anything amiss. Just as he was about to turn back, the black mist in front of him dispersed in an instant.

At this moment, the man also clearly saw the situation in front of him. His expression changed from one of surprise, hesitation, and fear to one of rapid change. In fact, it was only for an instant. The next moment, a miserable scream came from his mouth.

Lei Yu and the others were still quite far from him. After hearing a miserable scream, they seemed to have their necks gripped as they struggled and let out a few soft sounds before once again falling into silence.

The gap between the two retainers was not long, and the remaining four retainers couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts. What the hell was this? They were pretty strong outside, but they didn’t even have the chance to fight back.

“Master, what should we do?”

Lei Yu’s expression was unsettled as he stared straight ahead with a pair of vicious eyes that seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment, he stretched out his hand and waved it, “Let’s go, I want to see what the hell it is.”

Even though the servants were afraid, they did not dare to retreat. If anything happened to their master, the Xuan King would not let them off.

As the few of them moved, everyone’s breathing unconsciously increased. The surroundings became eerily quiet, but their hearts could not help but beat faster …
