Extending from Lianshan City to the southwest, following the gradually gathering paths, you will enter a deep mountain forest that is rarely visited by people.
Following the direction Shen Wujiu said, Zhang Yan first found the location where the special case department had found the corpse of the demon species. There were some traces of fighting left in that forest, but as Shen Wujiu said, there were very few traces. It was definitely not a fierce fight. The body was no longer visible, and the Special Cases Division took it away. Only sporadic blood stains could be seen on some tree trunks.
As for ghosts, Zhang Yan honestly doesn't think he has anything to be afraid of now. Before he entered the state of returning to the gods, he could almost destroy a big ghost king with the thunder technique. Now that he has returned to the gods, he can only use thunder Dharma is no longer limited to ordinary thunder, and has greater restraint on ghosts. If it were him now, he would never let that big ghost king escape again.
What Zhang Yan is curious about is the Dead Silence Road itself. His understanding is that the so-called "Dead Silence Road" should be a special passage connecting another space. And what are the restrictions and strangeness of this passage, which are different from those recorded in the classics in Longhu Mountain Gate? For example, are "Huanyang Road" or "Huangquan Road" the same? If not, how different are they?
Zhang Yan was the only one who came over. Shen Wujiu wanted to follow him, and he was a ruthless person with a look of death. But in the end, he was dissuaded by Zhang Yan. The reason was also very simple. Zhang Yan didn't know that he was in death. No matter what situation Daohui encounters, Shen Wujiu can ignore death, but he cannot ignore death. One more person will be more of a drag. He can communicate easily by himself, and he can be more flexible when encountering problems.
The reason why we rushed over so quickly was also due to our air control skills. When we landed, most of the journey had already passed, and we could be considered to have avoided any possible troubles along the way.
After passing some demon species in the woods where corpses were laid out, Zhang Yan didn't encounter anything strange or worthy of attention. He didn't even see the shadow of a ghost.
"Is it because the Yang Qi is too strong during the day that it can't be hidden?"
Zhang Yan was worried that he would miss something valuable, so he stopped after walking for half a day. Instead of continuing to walk forward, he randomly found a tall-looking tree, jumped up and found a suitable tree. The tree branch lay down halfway, closing its eyes and breathing in, while waiting for the night to come.
For this trip, Zhang Yan also made some preparations, such as the Qi Condensing Talisman that he always wore on his body. This way, Zhang Yan could not be noticed from a distance because of the aura on his body.
As the night grew darker, Zhang Yan stood on the canopy of a tree, holding his hands behind his back, relying on his aerial skills to float a few feet above the forest in a leisurely manner. It didn't take long for him to slowly discover something special along the way. That was Even at night, there is almost no smell of birds and animals in the woods along the way. This is very unreasonable in such deep mountains.
Not only that, even if he was floating in the air several feet above the ground, Zhang Yan could clearly feel that the Yin Qi on the ground was slowly increasing in the direction he was going, and there was even a dynamic like "water flowing downwards" feel.
Can Yin Qi flow like water? This is the first time Zhang Yan has seen it.
Although he saw something strange, Zhang Yan knew very well that this might be a special phenomenon that only occurs when approaching the Path of Death. Those Yin Qi slowly gathering together like water must be related to the existence of the Path of Death.
It was already past Haishi when I saw the first ghost. And when I saw it, it was not just one or two, but a group of nine ghosts. Among them were five spirit beasts, two spirit generals, and Two soul boys. The soul boy was round and fat and was surrounded by three soul feeders. It looked like a group of people driving livestock home.
If it had been any other time, Zhang Yan would have taken the first action, beat these ghosts to half a disability, and then happily saved them and replaced them with the merit aura he needed. But the current time and place are not suitable. He does this.
So Zhang Yan did not take action, but continued to float above these ghosts, following them all the way with the convenience of shielding them with the Qi Condensing Talisman.
The ghosts were moving very fast. Just after Haishi, they had already entered the core area that Shen Wujiu had previously marked on the map. And on the way, two more groups of ghosts gathered from other directions, and the ghosts below suddenly It has grown several times bigger and appears to be full of ghosts as it drifts through the mountains and forests.
By this time, Zhang Yan felt the signs of gathering Yin Qi becoming even more obvious.
When the first ghost king appeared, we were in a valley full of strange rocks and ghost trees. The temperature here almost dropped, and through the moonlight, we could see that the Yin Qi that was visible to the naked eye was spread on the ground like a blanket. layer.
Yin energy accumulates in a low place, like a hole, gathering in a circle, and the center is extremely yin.
Zhang Yan quietly hid in the crown of a strangely shaped ghost tree, his breath concealed, relying on his senses to carefully observe every odd inch of the valley in front of him.
Needless to say, the ghosts here are not too much to describe as "lively". There are three ghost kings and nearly a hundred other ghosts. This is the first time Zhang Yan has seen the largest group of ghosts at the same time.
No matter how carefully you look at it, you will see that these ghost groups are not in disarray, but are performing their duties in an orderly manner. Three ghost kings command a group of ghosts to count the ghosts gathered from all aspects, mainly counting the ghost children. In the end, it seems that It will be released only after it is registered.
Those released souls will take the soul boy into a cave surrounded by huge rocks in the valley.
"Is that the interconnection node of space?" Zhang Yan guessed in his heart.
Zhang Yan came to a conclusion in his mind. This place should be the location of a dead road as he guessed. And the entrance of the dead road is the cave surrounded by huge rocks.
I have to say that if this is the Dead Path as Zhang Yan expected, then it would be much simpler than the "Huanyang Road" and "Huangquan Road" recorded in the Longhu Mountain Gate's classics. It should be It is a natural structure of heaven and earth, not a passage created by ghosts themselves.
"No wonder Bai Yu said that the demon clan can also launch a counterattack against the holy domain. This kind of passage is made of heaven and earth, and there are no restrictions on entry and exit. As long as you can resist the yin and yang reversal and space torsion when crossing the passage, you can naturally go in and out. ." Zhang Yan came to a conclusion in his heart. At the same time, he also understood why the human race had nothing to do with the deathly silence. Firstly, the body and soul itself were inferior to the demon race, and they did not have the ability of swallowing beasts to look directly at ghosts. Not only It is impossible to determine the precise location of the Dead Silence Road, nor can it withstand the twisting force and the reverse pull of Yin and Yang in this space channel. Even entering the so-called holy realm has to endure the extreme Yin Qi environment, which almost eliminates the possibility of human counterattack .
But even if there are powerful monsters, Zhang Yan doesn't think many of them can counterattack into the so-called holy realm. It's one thing to be able to withstand the extremely gloomy environment, but you also have to retain your strength and fight in and out.
