2358 Like a shadow (1)



"There's no need to look, they're already dead,"

The mercenary captain walked to the body, lowered his head to examine it, and shook his head at the crowd.

Everyone was silent. His neck had been bitten and his artery had been torn. It would be strange if he didn't die from such injuries.

They often faced death, but this kind of death was a bit horrifying and made people feel scared.

They didn't dare to let their guard down when they saw the dead body with a Broken Skull. After all, the dead body had just been resurrected and killed one of their companions.

After they turned around and left, would the two bodies stand up again and continue to follow the team?

what about the corpse? should we deal with it? "

The leader of the mercenaries was a little worried and asked the cultivators, afraid that they would encounter another corpse coming back to life.

"Let's not worry about it. Let's keep moving forward and get out of this damn place as soon as possible."

The old woman said impatiently. There was a sense of urgency in her voice.

The current situation was special, and they had no time to waste. They had to move forward as soon as possible.

I'll handle it. You guys stay away. If my powder touches you, there'll probably be one more body here.

One of the cultivators suddenly spoke and walked to the two corpses.

He was dressed no different from ordinary people and was very low-key. When he mixed in with the group, no one even noticed him.

Although they kept a low profile, no mercenary dared to look down on them. They were also very respectful along the way.

Compared to the other cultivators, this cultivator was the easiest to talk to, and he had a smile on his face the entire time.

After hearing his warning, the group of mercenaries quickly retreated, afraid that they would be affected.

The cultivator didn't pay attention to the others. He took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, opened the cork, and shook it gently.

Black powder was poured out of the bottle. It was only the size of a fingertip. It fell on the body.

After coming into contact with the blood, the black powder immediately turned into countless small bugs, constantly wriggling into the corpse.

This scene caused one's scalp to go numb.

In just a short time, these insects that were invisible to the naked eye grew rapidly, becoming the size of a thumb.

After they turned into worms, they immediately began to lay eggs at an incredible speed.

After laying eggs, the adult insects would explode and turn into an extremely corrosive liquid that could even melt bones.

This scene made the mercenaries 'hair stand on end, and their respect for cultivators grew.

"There's no need to look, it won't be long before there's nothing left!"

The cultivator who looked like an ordinary person said to the people around him with a gentle smile.

However, the feeling he gave off was that of a Smiling Tiger. There was always a trace of ferocity in his smile.

It was obvious that the favorable impression this cultivator gave others was just an illusion. There was no good cultivator in the team.

alright, we don't have time to waste. Since the matter has been resolved, let's move on!

Seeing that the matter had been settled, the fierce-looking old woman urged him again with a hint of impatience in her tone.

Only one person had died, but the danger of being tailed had been eliminated, which made her let down her guard.

There were no evil ghosts, it was just nonsense.

The middle-aged cultivator might have exaggerated on purpose, saying that the forest was not that dangerous. He was just trying to put pressure on everyone.

This method of creating psychological pressure was very much in line with the style of the middle-aged cultivator. He always liked to make things mysterious and then find ways to highlight his ability.

To put it bluntly, it was the work of vanity. Even as a cultivator, he was also unable to avoid it.

No one raised any objections. No one was willing to stay for too long in such a depressing environment. They only wanted to leave as soon as possible.

But this time, as they advanced, the people at the back of the group were on tenterhooks. They looked behind them from time to time, afraid that the two bodies would stand up and follow them.

Fortunately, after walking for a distance, no accidents happened, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

No one noticed that the cultivator in a short coat who was in charge of leading the way in front of them had a more and more serious expression.

He realized that he had walked for such a long distance, but he still couldn't get rid of the illusion in front of him. This situation didn't make sense.

The communication compass seemed to be broken. He didn't receive a reply for a long time, and he didn't know if there was an accident.

He estimated the number of steps they had taken. They had walked at least a thousand meters. According to the information provided by the middle-aged cultivator, they should have walked out of the range of the illusion array.

However, at this moment, there was no sign of him walking out. He did not know why.

Unknowingly, cold sweat started dripping from the cultivator's forehead. A bad feeling started to rise in his heart.

He also didn't realize that a figure that looked exactly like him had suddenly appeared between him and the people behind him.

The people behind him didn't notice anything unusual and thought that this unknown figure was the cultivator in a short coat who had led the way.

As for the real cultivator in the short-coat, he was still deep in thought, unaware that he was getting further and further away from the team.

A mist appeared and engulfed his figure, completely separating him from the team.

The figure in the short-robed cultivator's place suddenly raised his head, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Just as everyone was on guard against the back of the group, they didn't know that danger was coming again. However, this time, it was at the front of the group.

……

Although the people behind him were anxious, they didn't dare to urge him too much. At this moment, they were all counting on the cultivator in the short-coat to lead the way, so they naturally didn't dare to disturb him.

After walking for a while, the black-clothed woman suddenly spoke with a hint of bewilderment in her voice.

something's not right. We've clearly walked through this road just now. Why are we walking back? "

The black-clothed woman examined the traces left on the ground and asked the cultivator in a short coat who was walking in front.

Hearing the black-clothed woman's question, everyone was stunned. Then, they looked around.

The more he observed, the more shocked he was, and his expression became extremely ugly.

Just as The Woman in Black had said, there were faint traces left on the ground, which were what they had left behind.

As for why The Woman in Black had noticed it but they had not, it was because The Woman in Black was particularly good at this.

The cultivator in the short-coat who was walking in the front suddenly turned his head when he heard this. His eyes were bloodshot.

He glared at The Woman in Black with killing intent in his eyes. He shouted in a hoarse voice, " "I know. Now, all of you shut up. No one is allowed to say a word of nonsense!"

At this moment, the cultivator's expression was like that of a stubborn lunatic, and he exuded a violent and crazy aura.

It gave people the feeling that he was desperately trying to think of a solution to the problem, but he had never gotten an answer, so he was extremely frustrated.

Now that The Woman in Black had exposed the truth, he immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. It was as if The Woman in Black's question was questioning his ability.

what's wrong with you? what's wrong with you? hurry up and tell me!

The old woman asked coldly, her tone questioning.

there's no problem. I'll solve it soon. Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? "

The cultivator in the short coat sneered eerily. His tone was completely different from usual, as if he was a completely different person.

When the old woman and the others saw this, they immediately felt a trace of uneasiness in their hearts. They felt that things were getting more and more out of hand.

If something happened to the cultivator in the short coat who led the way, things would become very dangerous. Who knew where he had taken him?

Such a mysterious and terrifying forest, even if they entered, they could not guarantee that they would be able to leave unscathed.

"Second brother, you better tell me what's going on. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The old woman's tone was unusually stern, and her eyes flickered with an ominous glint, as if she would attack at any moment.
