Chapter 1016 Corpse Devil (1/2)
Chapter 1016 - Corpse Monsters
In the human world like the True Martial Imperial Palace, it was extremely difficult for the Spirit Demon Race to establish their foothold. Only a few fierce beasts that could not take human form and were inferior to the Spirit Demon race, such as nether beast, were found in the wild forests deep in the mountains. The gathering place of the Spirit Demon Beasts in the Spirit Demon forest was already very rare.
No matter if it was nether beast or Ghost Beast, as long as they could not transform into a human, the lieutenant was actually called a ferocious beast. There were countless ferocious beasts living in it, but there was also the term Ghost Beast living in the forest. had never seen Ghost Beast before, so he did not know what kind of characteristics it had, but he guessed that it was probably related to the constant black miasma in the forest.
This black fog had a certain amount of poison within it. If one stayed here for too long, their body would undergo a certain degree of change. Of course, this was only in the direction of the bad.
After walking for a while, Long Chen met the shortest tree, which was already more than ten meters tall. Basically, they were all over a hundred meters tall, extremely terrifying, and it would take many people, or even dozens of people, to surround the tree trunk.
The treetop was dense and s.p.a.cious, with dense foliage everywhere. Sunlight could not penetrate it. Under the treetop, it was extremely dark, as if walking in the darkness.
The Treacherous Forest was a territory with a circ.u.mference of millions of square miles. The core area was the place that the sixth rank fierce beasts, the Ghost Corpse Dragon, occupied. As long as they didn't go any deeper into this place, Long Chen would basically be safe here. Furthermore, even if they accidentally met with danger, if it wasn't a Ghost Corpse Dragon, they could still use blood to escape. Long Chen's true essence had surged, and his blood escape had also levelled up, so it was basically not a problem at all.
This was a special characteristic of Jade Flame Mansion. This jade green flame's temperature was not high, but it was extremely corrosive, burning for a distance of a hundred meters. If one did not use Divine Martial Stage, it would not be easy to rely on their flesh to rush over. The azure-colored flame could not burn the trees, but it posed a fatal threat to humans and beasts alike.
The more inner the azure-colored flame, the harder it was to pa.s.s.
However, to Long Chen's current body, these flames were nothing.
It was already late at night, and waves of ghostly wails and wolf howls could be heard in the forest. In fact, under the cover of the tall trees, the forest's daytime was no different from night.
At this moment, a group of people were pa.s.sing through the burning weird azure-colored flame, escaping out of the Treacherous Forest. This was a hunting team, the Treacherous Forest had a large number of demonic beasts, their body hair, beast spirits, etc. were all precious materials, as well as the elixirs required by the alchemist. As long as one could obtain them, they could sell them and gain a lot of wealth.
At this moment, they were fleeing in a sorry state, and their faces were filled with fear and panic, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. Their clothes were tattered, their bodies were dirty, and many of them even had blood stains on them.
A man and a woman rushed at the front. They were a middle-aged man and a young woman. They should be father and daughter. Their clothes were slightly more expensive than the others', so it was obvious that they were the leaders of this group.
At this moment, the young woman's body was dirty and messy. Fear was written all over her face, and she was running with great haste. If it weren't for the support from the man next to her, she would have fallen behind a long time ago.
”Father, what should we do? ”What should we do, that Corpse Demon is about to catch up, it has already remembered our smell, even if we run back to the Eastern Wind City, it will be useless.”
The middle-aged man, with his thick beard, had a dark expression. He was on his way, his eyes flashing with all sorts of lights as if he was struggling with himself. The shouts of fear behind him made him finally make up his mind.
”I'll stop you, my good girl, take them and escape as far as you can. Once we get out of the forest, you guys can split up and run!”
The middle-aged man had just spoken his words when he had already encountered many people's objections.
One of the young women objected, ”No, if that's the case, you will definitely lose your life!”
”Yes, Mayor, if you stay, you won't be a match for that Corpse Demon.” Yes, Mayor, if you stay, you won't be a match for that Corpse Demon.
Speaking of the word ”tear”, everyone felt a chill run down their spine, because before, they had seen their comrades being torn apart by the Corpse Demons. If not for more than ten of their comrades being willing to stay and fight with the Blood Corpse Demons, they wouldn't have been able to escape to this place. However, the Corpse Demon had a very keen sense of smell, and it could remember every person's smell, so even if they escaped now, they would still chase after them endlessly.
The person who was called Master of the City chuckled, and pretended to be without pressure as he said: ”You guys are underestimating me too much, at least I'm at the ninth level of Heaven Martial Stage, a retired centurion! All these years I have never seen such a battle situation, how could a mere Corpse Demon be able to do anything to me? ”
”But I heard that the Corpse Monsters that were poisoned can only be completely exterminated with strong Divine Martial Stage. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to kill you!”
