Ji Tianxing crossed the layers of rocks, and it took him half an hour to cross a line of sky that was more than three miles long.
When he stepped out of the sky, he felt that his eyes suddenly opened up and the world became wider.
At this time, he had truly entered the Kirigakure Mountains.
He stood on a piece of withered grass, looking around with keen eyes, observing the surrounding situation.
There is a thick fog above the head, blocking the rising sun, making the surrounding light somewhat dim.
He saw a decaying forest not far ahead.
The trees in the forest are sparse, most of them are dark brown, and the treetops are bare, not even a single green leaf can be seen.
At a glance, those bare black trees look like tall wooden piles standing on the desolate land.
There are also some big trees that grow twisted and crooked, with branched treetops. They look gloomy and filled with the aura of decay and death.
The ground was covered with withered yellow leaves, a thick layer like a quilt.
The fallen leaves on the bottom layer have long been rotten and emit an unpleasant smell.
There was a dead silence in the forest, not even a breath of wind, and the fallen leaves all over the ground were motionless.
The sky is also gloomy and gloomy, making the air filled with the smell of desolation and death, which makes people feel heavy.
Ji Tianxing stared at the strange dry forest, frowned, and murmured secretly in his heart.
"The forest after passing through the sky is marked on the map and is called the Forest of Death. Other than that, there is no introduction information."
Although he didn't understand why this dead and dead forest was called the Forest of Death.
But he could guess that since this area was marked on the map, it must be a dangerous place.
Unfortunately, this land of death is the only place he must pass on his way to Wangyue Lake, and there is no way to bypass it.
If he avoids this land of death, he will not only have to go a long way around, but he will also have to break into other dangerous places.
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing tightened his grip on the Black Dragon Sword and walked towards the woods.
"Shashasha..."
His feet stepped on the withered yellow leaves on the ground, making a slight sound.
The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and he could clearly hear his own footsteps and heartbeat.
When he walked into the woods, he obviously felt that the air was dull, filled with thick decay and coldness.
He stepped forward with a solemn expression, holding the hilt of the Black Dragon Sword tightly in his right hand, his spirit tense, full of vigilance and vigilance.
Although, there is nothing in the decaying woods except dead trees and fallen leaves.
But there was a faint chill on his back, and it always felt like a pair of invisible eyes were watching him secretly.
That weird intuition made him uneasy and he had to take full precautions against it.
When he took hundreds of steps and gradually entered the depths of the woods, a pile of fallen leaves at the edge of the woods suddenly moved slightly.
The dry and yellow leaves quietly parted towards the sides.
A gray-white skeletal hand, with five phalanges curled up, emerged from the soft fertile soil.
This skeletal palm is dark gray in color and has been buried underground for an unknown number of years.
There are several cracks and gaps on the five slender finger bones, stained with dark red soil.
The bone-white palm gently pushed aside the dead leaves on the ground and stretched them outward little by little.
Immediately afterwards, a second white bone palm emerged from the soil and pushed aside the fallen leaves on the ground.
The two skeletal palms gently rippled the soil, trying their best to reach out, bringing out the gray arms from under the soil little by little.
Not long after, the soil between the two palms surged faster, pushing the yellow leaves to separate on both sides.
A gray-white skull gradually emerged from the soil, struggling from side to side.
This is a human skull. There is a fist-sized hole on the Tianling Cap, with several cracks extending from the hole to all sides.
Its eyes were deeply sunken, and the two holes were inlaid with two groups of light blue flames, just like its eyes.
Its jaw disappeared, leaving only half of its mouth, and its teeth were incomplete. It looked very ferocious and terrifying.
The skeleton put its palms on the ground, twisted its body left and right, and soon emerged from the soil.
A hole was left in the soil, which was immediately covered by fallen leaves.
The gray-white skeleton looked into the depths of the woods and seemed to be able to see Ji Tianxing's figure. The blue fire in his eyes kept flashing.
It staggered forward with a pair of skeleton feet, stepped over the fallen leaves on the ground, and chased deep into the woods.
At the same time, the fallen leaves on the surrounding ground began to surge and spread to both sides.
Countless gray skeletal palms emerged from the soil and pushed aside the fallen leaves on the ground.
After a while, one after another, complete or incomplete corpses and skeletons emerged from the ground.
In the eye sockets of each skeleton, there are two groups of light blue fire, shining with an evil light.
Some skeletons are tall and burly, some are incomplete, missing arms and legs, some skeletons hold rotten swords in their hands, and some skeletons only have half of their body left.
But all the skeletons looked deep into the woods, grinning silently, revealing their white teeth, as if they were sneering silently.
…
Ji Tianxing still held the Black Dragon Sword tightly, walking heavily through the woods, observing his surroundings with keen eyes.
The surrounding scenery has not changed, it is still covered with bare dark brown dead trees, and the ground is covered with thick dead leaves.
However, here we have entered the depths of the woods, the light is even darker, and the air is still filled with wisps of gray mist.
His vision could only see a hundred meters away, and places further away were obscured by fog.
Not long after, he saw a light blue light floating in the gray fog a hundred meters ahead.
The dim light seemed to be as light as nothing, floating quietly in the mist, looking particularly mysterious and strange.
Ji Tianxing frowned, slowed down and continued moving forward.
When he got closer to the light blue light, he realized that it was a flame the size of a fingernail.
When he walked in front of the light blue flame, the air flowed invisible, causing the light blue flame to accelerate and rise into the sky.
He raised his head and looked farther away, and saw many light blue flames appearing in the hazy gray fog, densely packed like fireflies on a summer night.
"This is... phosphorus fire?"
Ji Tianxing murmured in a low voice, a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
He knows very well that phosphorus fire is what secular people call will-o'-the-wisp fire, and it only appears in places where corpses gather.
There are countless groups of light blue phosphorus fire floating deep in the woods. Doesn't it mean that there are countless corpses buried under this forest?!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and shouted in his heart: "I'm not afraid of living people, why should I be afraid of a pile of corpses?"
"I went through many hardships to get here. No matter how weird this place is, I am fearless and will never back down!"
