6. Strains

Wen Chuyan led Jiang Xingmian to track Xue Hongling's disappearance. Soon, they entered a dark and dense forest full of mushrooms.

This place doesn't look like a good place at first glance. There are milky white mycelium clinging to the trees everywhere, and rotten animal bones can be seen everywhere on the ground.

The strong Yin Qi caused the hair all over Jiang Xingmian's body to burst involuntarily. She pricked up her ears like a vigilant snow-white hedgehog: "This place gives me a very bad feeling."

"How bad is it?" Wen Chuyan asked seriously.

"I can't tell." Jiang Xingmian looked confused like a confused little egg: "It just feels like my heart is beating very fast. Anyway..." She looked serious: "You have to be careful."

Wen Chuyan nodded seriously: "Okay."

As we go deeper and deeper, there are more and more bones on the ground, and most of them are even in the shape of human bones. Suddenly, Jiang Xingmian's breathing quickened without warning. She stared forward, her eyes wide open, like

I saw something terrible.

Wen Chuyan followed her gaze.

Thousands of human beings were reflected in his pupils, and he saw them motionless caught in the net on the mycelium. Most of them were corroded into a pile of dead bones, and a small part of them had not had time to melt, as if they had been poured with sulfuric acid.

Like thick black and yellow water flowing.

"Oh my God!" Jiang Xingmian couldn't believe it. How could there be so many victims in this forest?

She slowly turned her head, and she saw Xue Hongling's bodyguards hanging on the tree one by one with bruises on their faces. It was obvious that they had a very strong desire to survive before they died, and their bodies were struggling to the point of deformation.

Jiang Xingmian felt very uncomfortable. Not long ago, they were cautiously exploring the forest, but in less than an hour, they turned into cold corpses. She didn't even hear their screams.

They are all awakened beings! They are not defenseless humans.

Jiang Xingmian's heart was beating very fast, and she was so depressed that she could not speak. Compared with her, Wen Chuyan seemed much calmer. He was like a person who was used to the world, and continued to walk forward with an expressionless face.

Soon after, they were lucky enough to find a living bodyguard. He had escaped from the shackles of the mycelium and was crawling out of the forest with difficulty, dragging his corroded and bloody legs.

Wen Chuyan quickly squatted down and pulled him up. The bodyguard gasped and used his last strength to only utter a few indistinct syllables: "Be careful...mushroom, run...run."

"What? Mushroom?" Jiang Xingmian's heart tightened.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a chill on the top of her head. The moment she raised her head, it was hard for her not to gasp, because right above their heads, there was a huge human head lurking!

She had never seen such a creature before. It had no body, no limbs, and only a floating head. What was even more terrifying was that the head was covered with sticky mycelium, as if a person had been soaked in river water after death.

, rotting and swelling.

"Wen Chuyan, top of your head!" Jiang Xingmian shouted quickly.

But it was too late. The head opened its bloody mouth, and thousands of hyphae poured down. With this area and this speed, humans could not dodge at all!

Seeing that he was about to be submerged, Wen Chuyan took out the talisman and was about to crush it. At the critical moment, a fierce wind blew from nowhere and actually lifted him and Jiang Xingmian out of the attack range.

The next second, the mycelium fell on the spot where they were standing, making a sizzling sound like cooking. There is no doubt that the surrounding trees were instantly corroded beyond recognition.

The first attack failed, and the human head was very angry. Just when it was about to launch a second attack, Wen Chuyan took out a thunder and fire talisman as quickly as possible and threw it directly at the human head without any hesitation.

Have you ever seen dozens of thunder and fire talismans exploding at the same time? It was like a small thunder catastrophe, blowing up the target until it was charred and tender.

The human head let out a heart-rending howl.

Obviously, although this thing looks chilling, its defensive capabilities are not very good. In just an instant, the head was unable to withstand the violent bombardment of the talismans and fell to the ground like a deflated rubber ball.

How could he be defeated by Wen Chuyan so easily?

Jiang Xingmian had an unreal feeling.

Just as she stared at the motionless head in the distance, a gentle and beautiful female voice suddenly came from behind her: "I didn't expect that the young master is actually a talisman master."

who?

Jiang Xingmian turned around suddenly, but there was nothing behind him.

Just when she thought she was hearing hallucinations, Wen Chuyan walked straight towards a pine tree covered with mycelium. He raised his head and stared at the rotting bones above: "Did you do it just now?"

"Young master, you have good eyesight. It was indeed the slave who helped me just now." The skeleton made a seductive female voice.

Wen Chuyan said lightly "Oh".

The skeleton was stunned for a moment, obviously it had never seen such a person before, and it forcefully made a request: "If you want to thank me, sir, please do me a favor."

"I don't want to thank you." Wen Chuyan said coldly.

"Why?"

Wen Chuyan was like a straight man who had been practicing for thousands of years: "I won't die even if you don't take action."

Skeleton: "..."

I don’t know why, but Jiang Xingmian wanted to laugh a little bit despite the terrifying and serious scene. He had seen straight men before, but never such a straight one. Didn’t he know how to smooth things over a little bit? To put it bluntly like this, a woman

How embarrassing is that?

The skeleton was selectively deaf, and it said very persistently: "My soul is trapped in this body and cannot be freed. Please find a way to rescue me."

"condition?"

"I just saved you." The skeleton's voice sounded like gritted teeth.

Wen Chuyan emphasized again: "You didn't."

The skeleton took a deep breath and made its final death struggle: "Come here and help me break this body."

Wen Chuyan shook his head seriously: "Unfortunately, I don't want to go there."

"You are looking for death!" The skeleton finally became angry.

But before it could do anything, Wen Chuyan drew out his sword and chopped it in half without mercy.

The skeleton oozes thick black liquid, which looks a bit disgusting.

Seeing Wen Chuyan killing so decisively, Jiang Xingmian was immediately horrified: "Why did you kill it? Is there something wrong with it?"

When faced with Jiang Xingmian's inquiry, Wen Chuyan was not as ruthless as he was with skeletons. He patiently replied: "Because it is a mushroom, not a ghost."

"Mushroom?" Jiang Xingmian's round eyes were full of doubts: "How did you see that?" Does Wen Chuyan also have yin and yang eyes? But...even if she has yin and yang eyes, she doesn't see anything wrong?

Wen Chuyan said two words with a serious face: "Intuition."

Jiang Xingmian: "..." Okay! It turned out to be a blind sniper.

Seeing the dull expression of the little cub, Wen Chuyan thought for a while and then said: "The king mushroom is very fragile and can only rely on illusions to confuse the enemy." He gently poked the skeleton with his sword, "Look

, it’s soft.” Sure enough, after being poked, the skull turned into a black mushroom.

Wen Chuyan taught the cubs: "Sometimes the eyes and sense of smell can deceive people, but intuition does not. The intuition of an awakened person is 80% accurate."

I see.

Jiang Xingmian looked sincere: "I understand, thank you."

Wen Chuyan shook his head: "You're welcome."

The male protagonist seemed to have a good temper and was very polite. He was even more kind to his spirit beast. Jiang Xingmian couldn't help but comment in his heart.

But the next second...

Wen Chuyan suddenly said: "According to the first rule of the Shuiyue Star Contract Beast Law, you should call me master." His expression was very serious, and it didn't look like he was joking at all.

Jiang Xingmian: "..."
