Two thousand two hundred and fifty-two kneeling corpse
"Yun Xiao, how did you do it?"
Hearing Yun Xiao's words, Xu Hongzhuang took a few deep breaths. Then she looked at the black nightmare ghost mist that had become motionless, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
The more she gets along with Yun Xiao, the less Xu Hongzhuang realizes that she understands this guy. You never know when the other person will use a brand new method, which will surprise people inexplicably.
"It's just a small use of soul power!"
Yun Xiao didn't know how to explain such a magical thing, so he could only answer it vaguely, but such perfunctory words only made Xu Hongzhuang curl her lips.
In any case, with this magical move, the black nightmare ghost fog under the many caves and ghost realms did not act rashly again along the way, as if they were really frightened by the leader of the ghost fog.
This made Yun Xiao and Xu Hongzhuang feel a lot more relaxed. Half a day later, they had once again penetrated several miles into the Guichou Stream. And the deeper they went into the Guichou Stream, the gusts of sinister wind became more and more intense.
Weird and creepy.
Fortunately, both Yun Xiao and Xu Hongzhuang are used to big scenes. If an ordinary person or an ordinary spiritual level cultivator came here, I am afraid that this aura alone would drive people crazy.
"Yunxiao, what do you think that is?"
In the quiet depths of the ghostly stream, Xu Hongzhuang suddenly exclaimed. The sound echoed on the cliffs on both sides, which seemed a bit sharp, indicating the shock in Xu Hongzhuang's heart.
While Xu Hongzhuang was exclaiming, Yun Xiao had obviously discovered something. Following the direction of the former's fingers, he saw a scene that made people feel spine-tingling.
I saw many humanoid figures kneeling side by side at the bottom of both ends of the cliff in front. However, these figures had no breath on them, and they were obviously corpses.
But after death, people would appear in such a uniform kneeling posture, which looked really weird and terrifying. Even Yun Xiao couldn't figure out why this was the case for a while.
As the two of them got closer, the kneeling corpses gradually became clearer. Looking at it up close, it was even more disturbing, because those corpses were slightly different from normal corpses.
There is no doubt that these corpses were human beings when they were alive, but in addition to all of them kneeling on the ground, each of them was as skinny as a stick, as if a layer of skin only covered the bones, and all the flesh and blood in the middle had disappeared.
This is a bit like being sucked dry of flesh and blood by some demonic beasts or supernatural spirits that are good at devouring flesh and blood, which adds a bit of horror invisibly.
"These people, it seems, are all people who want to enter the ghostly melancholy stream to find out what's going on!"
Although Yun Xiao couldn't figure out why these corpses were in such a state for a while, he had vaguely guessed their origins, but he just didn't know if there was any treasure in this line of ghostly sorrow.
For a long time, Xianxian Guichou Stream only had a bad reputation, and there were no reports of any precious heavenly materials or earthly treasures. Over time, very few people or supernatural spirits entered this Guichou Stream.
If Team Hongyun hadn't been trapped here this time, and Yun Xiao and Xu Hongzhuang wanted to use this opportunity to escape, they probably wouldn't have entered such an unknown and dangerous place. Now it seems that this place is really unpredictable and full of dangers.
"Be careful!"
Yun Xiao turned around and looked at the black nightmare ghost fog that had not moved but had been following the two of them. He couldn't help but give a deep warning. Now he suddenly had some other guesses.
It seems that those black nightmares and ghost mist did not take action. Firstly, they were influenced by the leader of ghost mist controlled by Yun Xiao. Secondly, they may have used a trick to drive them to the depths of the ghostly sorrowful stream.
Yun Xiao had reason to believe that if he and Xu Hongzhuang wanted to return the same way, those black nightmare ghost fogs might take action immediately. Even the intimidation from the leader of the ghost fogs might not be too effective.
"Huh?"
When these thoughts arose in Yun Xiao's mind, his eyes suddenly froze, and then he took a few steps forward and came to one of the kneeling corpses. He seemed to have made some discoveries.
"These black lines..."
Xu Hongzhuang followed Yun Xiao's gaze and immediately saw that there seemed to be an inconspicuous black line between the kneeling corpses, connecting the two corpses.
"This is not an ordinary black line, but the color that becomes after the blood in the human body dries and coagulates!"
Yun Xiao was obviously more knowledgeable, and he had already made some guesses after thinking for a moment. Hearing the affirmation in his mouth, Xu Hongzhuang couldn't help but take a breath, obviously thinking of something.
"It seems that there are still some unknown dangers in the depths of this ghostly stream. Isn't it enough to swallow so much flesh and blood?"
Yun Xiao said what he was thinking, and also revealed what the black lines between the kneeling corpses were. As the two of them moved, it turned out that there was an inconspicuous line between every two corpses.
black line.
"What should we do now? Do we still want to move forward?"
Xu Hongzhuang was obviously shocked by this fact. This line of ghostly sorrow was full of weirdness. She really didn't want to go inside anymore. If she could go back the same way, she wouldn't mind making this decision.
"Hey, looking at the looks of those guys, it shouldn't be possible for us to go back the way we came!"
As if he had guessed Xu Hongzhuang's thoughts, Yun Xiao turned around and pointed, and let out a chuckle, but there was no trace of a smile.
Following the direction of Yun Xiao's finger, Xu Hongzhuang suddenly saw the dense black ghost mist slowly approaching her, almost blocking all the way forward.
"Are we just going to let them control us?"
Seeing this scene, even though Xu Hongzhuang knew that there was no other way to go, she was still a little unwilling. This was obviously some potential conspiracy. If she followed the planned route, she might be waiting for her.
It's still a dead end.
"Now that you're here, let's take a look at the innermost part to see what extraordinary things are there?"
Compared to Xu Hongzhuang, Yun Xiao at this time was really extremely curious about what was deep in the ghostly melancholy stream. Seeing him turn around, he was already walking quickly inside.
At this point, Xu Hongzhuang also knew that it would be impossible not to go inside, so she moved to follow him. Perhaps only by following this young man in black would she feel a sense of security.
"Hey, let me tell you, we won't go back to Nanyuan City anyway, and there are no outsiders here. Can you return to your true self?"
In this weird atmosphere, Xu Hongzhuang suddenly spoke up, causing Deyunxiao to stop. Then without much hesitation, he stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, revealing a younger and more delicate face.
"Tsk, tsk, you really haven't changed at all!"
Looking at this face that was exactly the same as the one in Qianlong Continent, a strange light flashed in the depths of Xu Hongzhuang's beautiful eyes. This was the face that almost became her husband.
"Wearing a mask every day to show off to others is more comfortable like this!"
Yun Xiao didn't seem to hear Xu Hongzhuang's underlying meaning. He pressed his hands on his somewhat stiff face. I'm afraid Xingchen's appearance will become a thing of the past from now on.
The two of them chatted, and soon came to the deeper part of the ghostly stream. When they saw the two empty spaces at the end of the corpses on both sides, they couldn't help but tremble.
"These two positions are not prepared for the two of us, right?"
Xu Hongzhuang also had a strange look on her face, and at the same time, a strong sense of uneasiness rose deep in her heart. After her slightly joking voice came out, she actually already had some guesses.
"It seems that is indeed the case. Leaving these two best positions to us really shows us a special regard!"
Yun Xiao followed Xu Hongzhuang's words with a self-deprecating sentence. At the same time, he turned his gaze to the dark depths and saw there, at some point, there was a humanoid body sitting cross-legged.
"This... this is..., how is it possible?"
At the first sight of that human-shaped body, Yun Xiao's whole body trembled violently, because he actually felt extremely familiar with that figure.
Yun Xiao had seen this figure before in the Transboundary Tower and in the Treasure Refining Hall of Lianyun Mountain in Tenglong Continent, because it was his biological father who had never seen his true form: Yun Changtian!
"Yunxiao, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Yun Xiao's appearance, Xu Hongzhuang couldn't help but have a look of shock on her face. She must know that ever since she met Yun Xiao, even when the latter faced some critical moments of near-death, he had never seemed to lose his temper like this, right?
What is the reason why this guy, who has always been as calm as a demon, is in such a state? Is there any relationship between the figure with closed eyes and Yun Xiao?
"Although I don't want to admit it, he is probably my biological father who has never been masked!"
For this extremely trusting girl beside him, Yun Xiao suddenly revealed a self-deprecating smile after a brief moment of absence. His words were like a ground-breaking shock, and Xu Hongzhuang's pretty face was filled with shock.
"He...he is uncle?!"
Xu Hongzhuang was speechless. This situation was a bit like meeting the parents of the person she loves for the first time, and there was something else. In short, it was an indescribable feeling.
To be honest, Xu Hongzhuang had never even met Yun Xiao's mother. She even met her fiancé for the first time when Yun Xiao went to the Lingtian Empire.
But after so many things happened, Xu Hongzhuang also went to learn about Yun Xiao's past in the business. She could learn about Yun Xiao's mother Shang Li, and she could also learn about Yun Xiao's sister Yun Wei, but she never got it.
A little bit of news about Yun Xiao’s father.
It was like a mysterious person living in a completely different space. Neither a member of the Shang family nor Xu Hongzhuang's father, the head of the Lingyun Sect, had ever received a single word about his identity.
