Chapter 28 (1/2)

There’s wind?

Bai Wushang froze, and then was a little surprised.

A breeze meant that the cave was connected to somewhere, and wasn’t a dead end.

That place might be the true habitat of the Spectral Viper!

Bai Wushang no longer hesitated, keeping himself fully vigilant and going deeper into the cave.

In the darkness, there were strange rustling sounds from time to time, and some bats, rodents, and insects could be vaguely seen, but probably because of the incense bag, these creatures didn’t approach Bai Wushang.

Along the way, Bai Wushang found that the passage had no forks, and was far better to traverse than expected, except that it was too deep and long, and it took 30 or 40 minutes before he saw the exit at the other end.

There was light at the exit, very faint and just like the feeling of a pale moonlight spilling down at two or three in the middle of the night.

Worming out of the cave, Bai Wushang saw a shocking scene.

In front of him was a huge and vast black forest, far more lively than before, with trees commonly exceeding 50 meters in height, their gray and black leaves connecting to hold up the black sky.

Through the gap, the illusory sun hanging in the sky could still be seen, but the trees blocked 99 percent of that sunlight, and only an extremely faint bit was able to shine on the land.

Dim, cold, and damp were the main themes of this place, and the air was also laden with the stench of rotten mud. Bai Wushang was certain that this was the most ideal environment for the Spectral Viper to live in, and it had to have run out from here.

“Suodayo… Suodayo…”

A euphonious singing voice reached his ears, and Bai Wushang poked around for the sound, quickly seeing three or four ghosts.

They were translucent blue bodies with their outlines shaped like two or three year old babies, with eyes tightly closed and another eye open in the middle of the brow. The beautiful song was coming from their throats.

Singing ghosts?

It dawned on Bai Wushang that this ghost-type transcendent creature liked to sing, didn’t possess any attacking ability, and had an extremely timid personality.

Seeing a stranger appear in front of them holding a torch, the singing ghosts screamed in fear and scattered in a flurry, disappearing into the distant darkness.

Without stopping, Bai Wushang continued on his way.

Skeleton Archer, Floating Elf, Spring Wood Demon, Shadow Ladybug…

Along the way, he had seen so many transcendent creatures that it was almost overwhelming.

Bai Wushang clearly noticed that as he gradually penetrated deeper and deeper into this dark forest, the strength of the active transcendent creatures around him rose, and it was almost difficult to see the little ones at the early stage of youth.

Snap…

When his left foot went soft, as if he had stepped on something, Bai Wushang reacted extremely quickly, and immediately jumped backward a step.

The torch hung low, and he saw a pile of mud.

The mud did not exist singularly, but stretched to the left, eventually forming a giant black sunken, unseen mire.

A mire of this size is likely to be inhabited by that kind of creature…

Having a sudden thought, Bai Wushang took out a large piece of snake meat, and threw it onto the mire six or seven meters away.

Mud splattered everywhere as the snake’s flesh embedded in the surface of the soft, rotting mire, sinking inch by inch downward.

Hua, hua, hua…

In the distance, the sound of mud churning suddenly rang out with great commotion.

Bai Wushang held his breath, and quietly leaned behind a section of trees, watching in silence.
