The ripples of the formation behind them had completely disappeared, and they had no way out at this moment.
White bones all over the place, a dim light full of oppression, and one or two harsh sounds like a baby crying from an unknown location made the whole scene eerie and strange.
There is no so-called road under your feet, it seems to be a forgotten wilderness, the sandy soil is barren of grass, and there is no trace of any living thing.
They moved forward in one direction, trying to find a way out or find some other clues.
Tong Yan followed Gu Yuqi, scanning the bones passing by, trying to identify the remains of what kind of monster these half-exposed huge bones were.
It's just that the bones are so weathered and broken that even the color of the animal bones themselves have faded, making it basically impossible to identify their race.
Then, she withdrew her gaze, clenched the spirit sword in her hand, and approached Gu Yuqi as usual.
Her sudden approach attracted Gu Yuqi's attention. Tong Yan looked at him and gave him a calm look.
Gu Yuqi's expression remained unchanged, and he silently placed a protective restraint on her body.
Something in the dark was staring at them, and there was more than one.
As they moved forward, the things in the dark began to be unable to hold back, and the sound of breathing became heavier and heavier, like a threatening warning before the beast's territory was about to be invaded by strange creatures.
Danger came in an instant, and the scarlet and malicious eyes of the beast in the darkness, carrying endless coercion and shock, suddenly approached, causing Tong Yan to be frozen at the moment of contact.
At this moment, her mind went blank, as if she was about to be swallowed by a huge mouth, and she completely forgot how to act.
The red beast's eyes suddenly disappeared, the sound of rushing wind filled her ears, and the unpleasant smell of blood brought her back to her senses.
"Are you injured?" She didn't feel any discomfort on her body, but there was a moist feeling on one side of her face.
Was he injured because he saved her, or was he injured accidentally.
"It's okay." Gu Yuqi spoke a little faster, "You don't have enough cultivation, so you must not stare into their eyes."
Nothing was chasing behind them, but the bone-chilling coldness and the overwhelming murderous intent were getting closer and closer. The feeling made Tong Yan's heart beat with fear, as if he was jumping repeatedly in the mouth of an animal at this moment, making his scalp numb.
At this moment, the feeling of being locked suddenly worsened, and the extreme sense of crisis came over her. She didn't even have time to remind Gu Yuqi a word, and the sharp wind immediately blew on her face.
At the critical moment, Gu Yuqi suddenly stepped aside, narrowly avoiding this fatal blow.
The light was too dark, and Tong Yan vaguely saw an object hidden in a mass of resentment. It was an animal claw covered with scales, which was even sharper in the occasional refracted light.
Just an ordinary blow made her understand that this enemy was a hundred times more terrifying than any person or monster she had encountered before.
One look from it was enough to make a young monk like her tremble.
After all, Gu Yuqi entered the Nascent Soul. Although he has not yet consolidated his cultivation, his strength is already dozens of times that of the Golden Core Stage. Even though there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides at this moment, they can barely protect themselves.
But this does not mean that it can be the same with a child's words.
There was more than one ferocious beast lurking in the darkness. They hid in the distance, looking down at them like ants, but they didn't show up and just didn't bother to take action.
After Gu Yuqi dodged, he immediately dodged in the other direction without any extra hesitation. The next moment he left, the place where he was standing exploded in vain, and the powerful impact pushed the two of them farther away.
What a fast speed!
It doesn't even take time to blink.
"Girl!" A familiar voice sounded in the ear, followed by the sound of bones hitting.
Tong Yan looked immediately and saw that it was indeed the crow and the old ghost. Gu Yuqi let them out.
After the crow came out, it couldn't wait to call out the child's words, but soon realized that something was wrong with the scene.
The traces of resentment that penetrated through the bones were several times stronger than when the old ghost's resentment was at its peak.
The feathers all over the crow's body were about to explode, and an instinctive fear overwhelmed it. Its wings were trembling so much that it could not fly steadily, and it just fell down.
Fortunately, the old ghost caught it with quick hands and eyes and put it on his shoulder.
Crow shivered, "What have you provoked? You are so angry."
Tong said: "I only know that it has scales on its feet. Now I am guessing whether it is some kind of ferocious beast."
A venue full of resentment is very suitable for old ghosts to perform. In addition, with their good cultivation, when the beast claws pounce, they can be taken out of there one step ahead.
The dark environment did not hinder the old ghost's vision. With just one glance, he could clearly see the shape of the claws and the neatly arranged scales, and then fell into a brief meditation.
The crow has lived with the old ghost for thousands of years and knows him better than he knows himself. Seeing the dimness of his will-o'-the-wisp and the slow beating of his will-o'-the-wisp, you know that he is trapped in memories.
He immediately asked: "Old ghost, what did you think of?"
The old ghost's will-o'-the-wisp returned to its usual jumping frequency, and he spoke clearly, "It's...the Dragon Clan."
Everyone present was stunned.
Tong Yan couldn't help but think about the origin of Dragon Prison Tower. Are those legends true?
To be precise, these are the remnant souls of the dragon clan.
Those war dragons who were trapped in the entrance to another world and could not return to the dragon cave for the rest of their lives.
No wonder they were unable to fight back against even one of them. Even someone with Tong Yan's level of cultivation could hardly muster any fighting spirit.
Dragons were once one of the strongest clans in the world of cultivation in ancient times. Even among their own clans, dragons can be counted among the best. They are the elites of the dragon clan. Even a wisp of residual soul after tens of millions of years is by no means a small gold.
Monk Dan can compete with that.
Gu Yuqi glanced at Tong Yan gently, and was glad that he followed him in the end.
The dragon soul is still attacking and the crisis has not been resolved yet. This is not a good place to talk.
The old ghost himself has at least the early stage of divine transformation. The environment here is very conducive to him, and he can barely exert his strength in the middle stage of divine transformation.
In a few words, they decided on a strategy. The old ghost would temporarily hold the dragon soul while Tong Yan and Gu Yuqi hid their auras and continued to move in the direction they were blocked just now.
Both of them suspected that there must be something important hidden in the depths, and Dragon Soul felt threatened before showing up to stop it.
This plan is not safe, for example, how long can the old ghost hold on, and whether other dragon souls hiding in the dark will suddenly appear to join the battle or stop them.
But at this moment, they have no other choice but to plan carefully.
Everything went smoothly, the old ghost successfully held back the dragon soul, and the other dragon souls didn't seem to notice their hidden aura and came around.
It wasn't until the creepy sense of surveillance completely disappeared that Tong Yan breathed a sigh of relief and stopped to wait for the old ghost to join them.
After waiting for a long time, the sound of bones rubbing and hitting came from the direction of the open space, getting clearer and clearer from far to near.
In the gray mist, I saw a skeleton with only half its body and the lower part of its waist, holding its own head and upper body bones, running quickly, not forgetting to piece its own bones back together as it ran.
When the old ghost arrived in front of them, only one head was left unattended.
Although he had been running for most of the day, the old ghost's voice did not sound like he was panting after exercising at extreme speeds.
Don't talk nonsense. How can a living person breathe?
"Senior Old Ghost, are you okay?" Tong Yan asked worriedly. Just now, she could see that Old Ghost's upper body was falling apart, and there were cracks in his skull. This showed that the firepower to attract the dragon soul was not enough even for him.
A very difficult task.
The old ghost shook his head from side to side very quickly, "It's okay, it's okay, the bone fell off, I'll just put it back together again."
Crow also helped, "He dismantles his own bones every day, girl, you don't have to worry."
Gu Yuqi handed over something at this time. She took a closer look and saw that it was the soul-nurturing tree that had been split into two before. Then the blessing came to the soul. The soul-nurturing tree had miraculous effects on the soul, such as nourishing and repairing it. Wouldn't it be good for old ghosts to use it.
Immediately I took out my own and gave it to him.
The old ghost accepted what Gu Yuqi gave him without any courtesy, but when it was Tong Yan's turn, he hesitated, as if he didn't want to accept it.
In his heart, he protects Tong Yan because she is Xun Heting's person (Jian?). Since she is his senior brother's person, she is his person and should be protected and not accepted.
But when the old ghost hesitated, the crow took it for him. He should protect Tong Yan, and the old ghost should take good care of his own injuries.
He said it was okay to deceive others, but the shrewd Lord Crow would not be deceived. His will-o'-the-wisp was clearly missing by one-tenth, and the cracks on his bare skull would take several years to cultivate.
But with so many soul-nurturing trees, the old ghost's injuries will surely be healed as soon as possible!
