Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 35 Original Sin
With the light of the cold moon, Wang Chen stood up and looked around. The mass grave was located between two hills. In the cultivation world, it was very common for people to fight over a disagreement, and human life was worthless.
What's more, in a town like Qinghu Bay that is controlled by gangs, deaths are common.
Over time, most of the corpses were piled here, turning it into a mass grave.
Wang Chen stood up, hastily identified the direction, and walked quickly. Compared to this heavy and smelly place, he would rather go back to the cliff to practice with Shi Zhixuan.
At first, there was cold mud under my feet. After walking for a while, I entered a forest and could hear the crackling sound of broken dead branches.
At first there was still moonlight shining through the woods, but later on, as the trees grew taller and many different kinds of trees competed to grow, with large crowns blooming at the top, there was very little moonlight able to shine through.
It was gradually getting darker and the howling of unknown wild animals could be heard in the distance, making the jungle even more dangerous in the darkness.
I didn't expect there was such a vast jungle outside Qinghu Bay.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Chen suddenly said, "I know where this is. This is the forbidden forest, the one with many monsters!"
When they were at the market during the day, the casual cultivator who was selling the demon cores said that his demon cores were taken from the forbidden forest.
The Forbidden Forest is vast and boundless, with groups of monsters roaming around. The deeper you go, the stronger the monsters become. It is said that the demon king who can tear apart a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage roams deep in the Forbidden Forest. Because it is boundless and has no end, the Forbidden Forest has always been considered a forbidden zone for cultivators.
However, the natural dangers obviously underestimated people's pursuit of interests. Every day, countless monks flocked to the forbidden forest.
The terrifying beasts in the forest are full of treasures for the monks.
Animal skins can be made into armor, not to mention luxurious furs that symbolize status.
After cooking, animal meat becomes an extremely rare delicacy. The meat contains spiritual power, which can assist in spiritual practice and make practice more effective.
Animal bones and tusks have innate psychic powers and are optional materials for making weapons and magic weapons.
Even some special parts of exotic animals can cure rare and terminal diseases and are very valuable.
In addition, legends about ancient spiritual herbs, ancient relics, and various hidden opportunities in the forbidden forest have spread. Over time, it has become a place for cultivators to explore opportunities, make a living and make a fortune. Every day, cultivators enter the forbidden forest with various purposes.
Similarly, countless cultivators die there every day.
I see light over there. The little medicine man was in the air, pointing to the distance with some excitement, because she was sure that she would not point the wrong way this time.
But then she looked at Wang Chen walking in the opposite direction.
Ahead was a dark and dense jungle.
Xiaoyao knew Wang Chen's personality well and guessed what he was thinking, so she sat on his shoulder and rarely spoke.
There was no expression on Wang Chen's face, but Xiaoyao could tell at a glance that he was a little distracted.
There was silence all around, and every step brought the rustling sound of fallen leaves and the snapping of dead branches, as if the scenes of Qinghu Bay were beating in his heart again and again.
Unable to take on Bai Linhu's move, Shui Yunyao was unable to resist and his strongest sword couldn't even hurt a hair on his body. The feeling of powerlessness is still vivid in his mind.
The protagonist was crushed from all sides, but suddenly he fell into memories or was stimulated and furious, and became extremely powerful in an instant, killing enemies with memories, anger, and all kinds of things that instantly killed the enemies that were extremely powerful a second ago.
There are always such legends in fairy tales.
But obviously fairy tales are all lies. No matter how angry a weak person is, how much he wants to protect important things , or how much stimulation he receives, the fact that he is weak will not change because of his self-esteem and stubbornness, nor will it lead to an outburst in desperation.
Because weakness...is the original sin.
Wang Chen felt that he really wanted to be acquitted.
Or it would be better to die with boring self-esteem and stubbornness.
The Qinggang Sword was suspended in the air, emitting a green light like a lantern , illuminating a small area.
As we went deeper into the forest, a light mist suddenly rose from the woods, and soon our clothes were covered with a layer of moisture.
Wang Chen frowned. In such an environment, not to mention that he was completely unfamiliar with the place, even if he was familiar with the terrain, it would be difficult for him to tell the direction. He thought about it, found a tall tree, and climbed up using all four limbs. It seemed that he was going to find a place between the tree trunks to meditate and rest, waiting for dawn.
As long as you are alive, there is hope. At the moment, this is already rare enough for Wang Chen.
At the same time, he felt as if he was being scratched by a cat in his heart. Just now, he had thought more than once about the map in the storage ring that contained great danger and was related to ghost energy.
He had judged that his current strength was not enough to obtain the opportunity, and taking it by force would be tantamount to suicide, but at this moment he was unwilling to wait even a moment longer.
Because in the world of cultivation, where the law of the jungle prevails, powerful cultivators will not give you time to grow.
At least, Wang Chen felt that he must first have the strength to compete with Shui Yunyao.
"Wang Chen..." Xiao Yao started to speak, but hesitated: "I heard that some people have been practicing in their mother's womb. Every day, peerless masters will transmit energy to them, cleanse their bones and marrow with natural treasures, and even bathe them in priceless spiritual liquid after birth, practicing the most advanced techniques. Maybe the witch just now is just such a person..."
Xiaoyao spoke very carefully, fearing that she might hurt Wang Chen's self-esteem. Of course, her purpose was to comfort him.
"All those fancy tricks are useless." Wang Chen nimbly grasped a branch and climbed up. "After all, talent is the most important thing." He said as he climbed.
"You..." Xiaoyao suddenly felt that her comfort was a bit unnecessary. With Wang Chen's thick skin, did he need her comfort?
nonexistent.
But why am I feeling a little happy?
Xiaoyao was very happy, but just then she heard a strange "hissing" sound.
She looked up, only to see a giant spotted python hanging on a thick branch, with its mouth as big as a basin open, ready to swallow Wang Chen in one gulp.
"Be careful!" she exclaimed.
Wang Chen did not expect that such a ferocious creature was hidden on the big tree where he thought it was the safest. Seeing the giant python's smelly mouth suddenly appear in front of him, he held the tree trunk tightly with one hand and made a seal with the other hand. Suddenly, a Buddha's light lit up all over his body, wrapping him in it.
“Boom!”
The giant python bit down, and the sound was like gnawing on metal.
Two golden "卍" characters popped out, and with a click, the two sharp fangs of the giant python broke off at the same time.
It was just feeling a sharp pain in its mouth, and was so shocked that it didn't know what was going on. Then, it saw a flash of green light, and the huge snake head was pierced by the Qinggang sword. A huge force sent the giant python flying, and it was nailed to the tree trunk with a thud.
The giant python seemed to have extremely strong vitality. Even after its head was pierced, it still twisted its body and struggled. The huge force made the tree shake continuously, and the leaves fell down. It took a long time before it gradually stopped moving.
"This thing looks colorful and scary, but I didn't expect it to be useless."
Xiaoyao floated over and looked at the huge and ferocious snake corpse with some disappointment.
“Can’t it be because I’m strong?” Wang Chen looked calm, and the Buddha’s light on his body slowly dimmed.
"Strong? The Vajra Body, the basic skill of Buddhist practitioners, and the flying sword that every practitioner can use. Do you think I don't know them?" Xiao Yao sneered.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Chen decided not to bother with this naughty kid and climbed up a thick tree trunk in two steps.
