I got this scroll from the cave before, but Shen Lang didn't have time to read it because the environment was too dark.
The place where this thing is placed is a bit strange. It is actually in the lair of that kind of terrifying beast. Maybe the contents inside will be of some help to Shen Lang's current situation.
"Wow!"
Shen Lang opened the scroll and took a look.
It is a picture scroll, made of parchment. After an unknown number of years, the paper has faded, but the content on it can barely be seen clearly.
The scroll should be a map, and the patterns on it are very simple. Only at the marked places do the patterns become more detailed.
"Is this the map of the Misty Ghost Forest?" Shen Lang's expression changed slightly.
If this is the case, then you will be getting a big deal.
Shen Langzai studied it carefully for a while, and finally took a deep breath. This was indeed a map of the Misty Ghost Forest, but it was only half a map.
Mainly, there was a cave marked on the southern edge of the map, with a pattern of a mantis outlined in red writing. Shen Lang was sure that that thing was the mantis he had just encountered.
The map records the geographical location to the south of the Misty Ghost Forest, but as it spreads to the north, it becomes completely dark, as if it has been cut off directly.
However, even with half a map, Shen Lang was already full of surprises.
This foggy ghost forest is tens of thousands of kilometers long! But it is still half the size of a map.
Shen Lang was frightened for a while, and without thinking too much, he quickly determined his position.
As expected, he was unlucky enough to be teleported to the very edge.
Now, Shen Lang's current geographical location is in the southernmost part of the map, a place called "Ten Thousand Forests of Forests", and this place has been set up with a tracking array.
Different from the maze, the purpose of the maze is to trap people inside without any attacks or illusions. It is equivalent to setting up several inconspicuous roadblocks, making it difficult for people to get out.
Generally speaking, if you want to get out of the lost formation, you need a lot of time to study the route.
Fortunately, there is a red line marked on the map, which goes through the entire Wanshulen. This should be the exit.
"No matter what, let's leave this place first."
After Shen Lang gathered his attention, he briefly calculated the position where he had just escaped from the cave entrance, and then quickly walked through the woods in a certain direction.
An hour later, Shen Lang walked through the woods and came to a grand canyon.
The surroundings were filled with mist and gray.
It seems that I have finally entered the "fog" area of the foggy ghost forest.
According to the display on the map, the nearest mark to me is in the northwest. A fruit tree is vaguely drawn on the map, which may be some kind of natural treasure.
Shen Lang decided to go to the marked spot first to see if he could catch something good.
The foggy area is a large grassland, and some tall trees can be vaguely seen around it, blocking the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see the distant scenes.
Shen Lang walked for a while, and suddenly noticed the sound of fighting coming from the front, and slowly moved closer.
"Quick, this thing can't hold on any longer, let's kill it!"
The screams of several martial cultivators could be faintly heard in the white mist.
Shen Lang hid next to a big tree, his eyes filled with zhenqi, and he could barely see the scene of the battle.
I saw seventeen or eighteen martial artists gathered together, fighting with a huge gecko beast, with swords and swords flashing.
Judging from the clothes they wear, they should be disciples of the Huashan Sect. Five of them are in the middle stage of Wenjing, and the rest are in the early or late stage of Wenjing.
The gecko's aura wasn't very strong, so it certainly couldn't be compared to the mantis Shen Lang encountered before.
The battle was coming to an end, Gecko was covered in blood, and all the Huashan Sect disciples showed happy expressions.
"Hiss!" Unexpectedly, the gecko looked up to the sky and hissed, a bloody light appeared in its eyes, and it went crazy, and its iron tail like a sharp cone swept across.
The bodies of the three martial arts cultivators were directly penetrated, and their flesh and blood were blurred.
The group of Huashan disciples were frightened and angry, and were beaten back by the violent geckos.
Shen Lang didn't look at it and left directly. He was not a savior, and other people's affairs had nothing to do with him. Besides, even if he came to deal with the violent gecko, it would take some effort.
However, what caught Shen Lang's attention was that some of the large ferocious beasts in the Ghostly Mist Forest were very powerful. For example, the giant mantis from before. Shen Lang felt that even a master of transformation would be hard-pressed to be a match for the mantis.
This type of powerful ferocious beast is more like the "monster beast" described in the Medicine King Alchemy Sutra. Monster beast is a general term for powerful ferocious beasts.
Monsters that reach a certain level will produce demon pills in their bodies, which are excellent materials for making pills.
Shen Lang continued to travel to the target location and met many martial arts cultivators along the way, some in groups and some alone.
Shen Lang even saw the bodies of many dead martial arts cultivators, with traces of bites on their flesh and blood.
There are many ferocious beasts and monsters raging in the foggy area. Without the strength of the realm, it is difficult to protect yourself.
Although the Kunlun Mountain barrier is large, the total number of masters in the realm is less than ten thousand. There are hundreds of thousands of martial arts cultivators who entered the secret realm this time, and most of them have insufficient cultivation.
Presumably those low-level martial arts cultivators who entered the secret realm are already regretting it, right?
As the fog goes deeper, the fog gradually disappears, but the light is dim, and there are all kinds of ferocious beasts and birds in the depths.
Many lone martial arts practitioners were too scared to move forward when they were trapped in the foggy area. The foggy ghost forest was so scary that they all chose to find a team to beg for self-protection.
Shen Lang was luckier this time. He followed the red line marks on the map and didn't encounter a single vicious beast along the way.
The fog ahead became lighter and lighter, and Shen Lang came to a river.
The river is about 500 meters away from the other bank, but it is very wide and the end cannot be seen at a glance. It takes several hours to detour.
The fastest way is of course to use Qing Gong and cross the river.
The main reason is that the river water is a bit strange. The water is actually blue, and there is no ripple on the horizontal surface.
The quieter it became, the more Shen Lang doubted whether something terrifying would suddenly emerge from the water.
Gritting his teeth, Shen Lang decided to walk through. He didn't want to waste time.
Besides, there is no mark on this river on the map, so there must be no major danger.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Lang leapt onto the river, performed the Phantom Light Step, and walked forward quickly with his feet on the river water.
"Pop!"
A wave of waves suddenly exploded on the calm water, and two strange silver fish opened their fangs and rushed towards Shen Lang.
The strange fish is about three meters long, its whole body is covered with spikes, and its huge mouth has rows of teeth as sharp as blades.
Shen Lang's heart trembled, there was indeed something wrong with the water!
But he shouldn't be too panicked. The auras of these two silver strange fish are not very strong.
"Boom!" Shen Lang pushed with both palms and struck out a Snowflake Divine Palm.
The palm force knocked the two strange fishes away, and the cold air spread everywhere.
With a "plop", two strange fish fell into the water.
Shen Lang continued to walk across the river. Many strange fish jumped out of the river and attacked Shen Lang, but they were all knocked away by Shen Lang's palm wind.
Finally, Shen Lang jumped to the shore.
The fog on the other side of the river has weakened significantly, and the air has become very fresh.
According to the signs on the map, five hundred meters ahead is the location of the fruit trees marked in red on the map.
Shen Lang's heart felt hot and he immediately walked towards the direction of the fruit tree.
