Chapter 6: The Restriction Lifted, An Old Acquaintance in the Forest
In the shrouded, gray fog of the Corpse Forest.
Lin Li flapped its pair of large black wings and hovered above the lush ancient tree, which was more than ten feet tall, followed by two others.
"Um?"
"Is someone behind you?"
Just then, Lin Li looked down from the sky, his demonic eyes easily piercing through the malevolent aura that obscured his vision in the forest.
A blurry, swift figure could be seen heading straight for Li Yuan and his brother below. The figure looked menacing and did not appear to be a kind person.
"Could they be the guards from those two market towns?"
The images of the two black-armored guards flashed through Lin Li's mind. They were clearly trying to eliminate him completely, not even intending to let go of the two ordinary youths who had no spiritual roots.
"Gah—"
Lin Li hurriedly sounded the alarm.
After all, he had been supported by the Li family for a long time during this period.
However, it did not swoop down to strike the rock with an egg.
His current demonic body was still underage, not even having reached the first level of Qi Refining. A dive attack would only result in him losing his life in vain.
below.
Li Yuan and Li Sheng both clearly heard the warnings coming from above and sensed something was wrong with the sounds.
"Second Brother."
"Iron Head, what is this...?"
At this moment, Li Sheng's mood immediately became much more tense, and he hurriedly gripped the short knife in his hand.
But at that moment, a green blur flew out from the bushes behind them and arrived in the blink of an eye.
puff!
Li Sheng's head was instantly chopped off and rolled to the ground more than ten steps away, splattering blood onto several bloodthirsty worms on the ground.
"Third brother!!"
Seeing Li Sheng die, Li Yuan stared wide-eyed, his eyes bloodshot.
"you…"
Li Yuan wanted to swing his short sword to slash, but he couldn't see the person coming at all.
The next moment, Li Yuan felt a sharp pain in his eyes and was plunged into a deathly darkness.
At this moment, Li Yuan, who was lying on the ground, had his eyes shattered by two darts.
In the woods.
Only the gaunt old man Jia Xing, dressed in a dark green robe, remained.
Jia Xing casually unleashed two fireballs, burning the two brothers, Li Yuan and Li Sheng, to ashes. After erasing some traces, he decisively left the place.
The entire process took only a few breaths, and the procedure was so smooth that it was clear that it had been done many times before.
at the same time.
The forest of people hovering above the ancient trees could clearly sense the restrictions left on them by the spirit control technique, which instantly dissipated.
With the restrictions lifted, they regained their freedom.
Lin Li flapped his wings and hurriedly increased his flight altitude to avoid being shot down by the old man in green robes below.
After the restrictions were lifted, the two heads flew directly into the depths of the Corpse Forest, seemingly attracted by something, and disappeared into the distance in just a few breaths.
"If I can improve my cultivation level in the future, and if I have the opportunity, I will avenge you."
Lin Li, who was climbing higher and higher, kept circling and thought to himself.
He is too weak now.
We can only explore slowly into the Corpse Forest from the edge of this market.
Without the Li family's support, he returned to the days of eating bloodthirsty worms in the Corpse Forest, which was far less delicious than roasted meat.
for a long time.
After flying several hundred steps, Lin Licai landed on a relatively lush ancient tree and concealed himself among the dense branches and leaves.
When it gets hungry, it eats the blood-sucking worms that climb up the trees.
[Inclusion successful]
[Unranked bloodline, bloodthirsty worm!]
It's still tasteless and bland!
Night fell quickly.
The malevolent energy within the Corpse Forest intensified, and some of the previously dormant corpses began to roam freely within the forest.
Standing on the branches, Lin also saw several low-level Yin Corpses slowly walking by, their movements sluggish and unsteady, not much different from when he was a Yin Corpse in his first life.
Unfortunately, Lin Li was unable to master the cultivation method of the Blood-Eyed Crow. He could only passively increase his physical constitution slowly every day by eating, waiting for the day when he would transform and advance.
However, Lin Li has a lifespan of many lifetimes, so as long as he can preserve his life, that's enough.
Taking advantage of the night, Lin Li flew into the air and began to fly towards the depths of the Corpse Forest, slowly exploring. After flying for about a quarter of an hour, he saw dozens of low-level Corpses gathered in the forest.
In the center of those Yin Corpse hordes was an Iron Corpse covered in white hair.
The iron corpse was ten feet tall.
It roared repeatedly, drawing the surrounding corpses to its side.
"Um? 』
"wrong."
"Was there something on that corpse's shoulder?"
At this moment, Lin Li's pupils contracted slightly, and he lowered his flight altitude. He then saw that on the shoulder of the white-haired iron corpse was a white-haired rat demon that was no more than half a foot tall. Because its fur was not much different from that of the iron corpse, it was difficult to notice.
The white-haired rat demon, in a human-like manner, sat cross-legged on the iron corpse's shoulder, its hands forming a hand seal, its mouth slightly open.
The malevolent energy emanating from the surrounding corpses was drawn towards it, forming a gray-black vortex the size of a millstone. At the center of the vortex, a wisp of black energy was swallowed by the white-haired rat demon.
A demonic cultivator practicing Qi cultivation!?
"Is this someone using the malevolent energy within the corpse to cultivate?"
"It's good to have cultivation methods."
After taking a few glances, Lin Li quickly increased his flight altitude and continued to explore the surroundings.
That rat demon looks like it's not to be trifled with; it's best to stay as far away as possible.
Lin Li flew for a few more moments.
On the way, we saw several large green toads, each one several times larger than a face, their bodies bloated like balls.
Its skin was as hard as cowhide, and its large eyes revealed a bewilderment that had yet to begin.
The creature with the iron-boned inscription swooped down, its sharp claws easily disemboweling a large green toad. Although it didn't taste very good, the warm current that flowed through its body after eating it was much greater than when it ate the bloodthirsty worms.
Eating more of this giant green toad's meat will obviously speed up my promotion time.
After eating.
Lin Li ventured several more miles deeper into the Forest of Corpses, but upon spotting a fully grown blood-eyed raven in the distance, he halted his exploration and retreated.
Most of the adult Blood-Eyed Crows successfully advance to the first level of Qi Refining.
They have already become spirits and monsters, far surpassing these lesser monsters.
Even if Lin Li were to become as strong as an iron will, he might not be able to defeat him.
It's best to be cautious.
But on his way back, Lin Li ran into an old acquaintance.
In a clearing in the forest, there was a middle-aged female cultivator with sallow skin. She was the one who sold Lin Li when he was a Yin Corpse in his first life.
Besides her, there were two other middle-aged men in black, who bore a striking resemblance to her, with fleshy faces and fierce appearances.
"Pooh!"
"What bad luck."
"Those bastards from the Fangshi Guard Corps did a lot of things in Mud Leg Alley, and they've all pinned it on us brothers."
"We must get our revenge for this."
One of the men in black said angrily.
"Don't rush. I have intelligence that a small caravan will leave through the west gate after noon tomorrow. They want to take the waterway to the west. I have an inside man in the caravan. With our help from the inside and outside, we can easily steal this shipment."
"The strongest in the team is Xie Gui, who is at the fifth level of Qi Refining."
"And two Qi Refining Level 4 cultivators."
"Leave Xie Gui to me."
"Those two Qi Refining Level 4 experts are yours to deal with, brothers."
Zhang Xiaowan gave a few simple instructions.
"Yes, boss."
Two middle-aged men who looked very similar spoke honestly and respectfully.
"Um."
"Just don't mess things up."
"After we finish this job, we'll leave for a while. Someone in the guard regiment said that things might get a little unsettled in the Shadow Forest in a few days."
After saying this, Zhang Xiaowan put on a black mask and quickly left the place.
