Chapter 309 Lies
The three of them walked forward for about a mile, and Lin Ziyu's expression became more and more solemn. She was convinced of Tang Tian's words.
As the name suggests, the range of the Ten-mile Ghost Forest is only about ten miles, but after walking almost one-tenth of the distance, they did not find any traces of half a ghost king. It seems that there are really only three ghost kings left in this ghost forest now!
After killing another rotten corpse, Lin Ziyu asked Tang Tian behind him. "Fellow Daoist Tang, have you found any traces of the ghost kings?"
Tang Tian shook his head slightly, and then he seemed to think of something. "According to my last investigation, the three ghost kings are all in the center of the ghost forest."
Lin Ziyu was silent for a while, and felt a little annoyed for no reason. "Then please lead the way, fellow Daoist Tang!"
Tang Tian went forward without saying a word, leading Lin Ziyu and Duan Qing deep into the ghost forest.
At this time, at the entrance of the ghost forest, Wu Ziyi and his group were also preparing to enter the ghost forest.
"Ye Kai, what's the situation now?" Wu Ziyi asked Ye Kai beside him.
Ye Kai opened his perception and said after a moment: "Heading towards the center of the ghost forest!"
"Okay! The three of you go first, pay attention to conceal your breath, don't let them find you!" Wu Ziyi immediately waved his hand and ordered the three people in the middle stage of the Questioning Heart Realm.
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the three people immediately rushed into the ghost forest and soon disappeared.
Wu Ziyi waited for a while and also walked into the ghost forest. Seeing that Ye Kai didn't keep up, he immediately turned back and wanted to scold him, but seeing that Ye Kai looked different, he asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Ye Kai seemed to be carefully perceiving something. With his perception in the late stage of the Questioning Heart Realm, he could almost affect the entire ten-mile ghost forest, but according to his perception, there seemed to be no ghost king in the entire ghost forest, which was completely inconsistent with Wu Ziyi's previous description to everyone.
For the sake of caution, he immediately told Wu Ziyi about this matter.
Wu Ziyi was somewhat puzzled after hearing this. Originally, Senior Brother Lin Ziyu had asked him to help Lin Ziyu complete the mission. He had also done some research on the Ten-Li Ghost Forest. Although he had never been there before, according to the information he knew, there should be many ghost kings in the Ten-Li Ghost Forest. How could there not be one?
After thinking for a while, Wu Ziyi gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not here to catch the ghost king, so who cares if there is one!"
"Hurry up and follow me!" After saying that, he took the lead in entering the ghost forest.
Ye Kai had no choice but to follow him. After thinking about it, Wu Ziyi was right. They just came here to play a hero saving a beauty. Whether there is a ghost king or not did not affect their actions.
...
Half an hour later, under the leadership of Tang Tianzhi, the three came to a place in the center of the stone forest.
Along the way, in addition to encountering a lot of rotten corpses, there was really no trace of a ghost king.
Lin Ziyu looked around and saw nothing unusual in the visible area, not even a single ordinary ghost.
"Where is the ghost king?" She looked at Tang Tian in confusion.
"It's a hundred feet ahead." Tang Tian grinned and said confidently.
Lin Ziyu immediately opened her senses and sensed the area a hundred feet ahead. "Why can't I sense it?"
Duan Qing also sensed it carefully and found nothing abnormal, not even a rotten corpse.
"No, one of the ghost kings is right ahead. According to my perception, it is the one in the middle stage of the Questioning Heart Realm!" Tang Tian said puzzledly.
Lin Ziyu subconsciously felt that Tang Tian was lying. If there really was a ghost king, how could she not sense it!
But now that things have come to this, there is no other way. Let's trust this person for now and go and find out.
"Then please lead the way, fellow Daoist Tang!" Lin Ziyu said to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian smiled confidently and walked forward without hesitation.
Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Lin Ziyu couldn't help but doubt her perception. Could it be that there really is a ghost king!
The three of them carefully advanced nearly a hundred feet forward. At this point, the black fog was even thicker, and they could only see things five or six feet in front of them.
Duan Qing walked at the back, feeling more and more uneasy. He originally thought it was a very easy thing, but since the Tang got involved, there was something strange everywhere.
Due to the limited vision, he could not see the whole surroundings, and Duan Qing had no way of knowing what the surrounding environment was like, but he obviously found that there were fewer stones, and there seemed to be an open area around.
As the three continued to move forward, two figures gradually appeared in their sight a few feet away.
It seemed to be a man and a woman. The man looked like a young man, with a pale face like paper, disheveled hair, and a strange black armor. At this time, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he was practicing.
The woman looked a little older, like a young woman, with an abnormally pale face. She stood beside the young man blankly, with dull eyes, staring straight at Duan Qing and the other two.
Suddenly they met, Lin Ziyu was shocked, almost screaming in fear, and her eyes swept back and forth between the two people a few feet away.
She didn't know who these two people were, but she was sure that they were not ghost kings! This is totally different from the ghost king recorded in the sect!
Lin Ziyu immediately turned her head to look at Tang Tian, wanting to ask him for an explanation, but she found that Tang Tian was looking at her with a grim smile.
"Tang, what are you doing!" Lin Ziyu scolded.
"Isn't the ghost king you want right in front of you!" Tang Tian grinned playfully.
Lin Ziyu couldn't bear it anymore, and swung her sword at Tang Tian.
Tang Tian turned sideways and dodged Lin Ziyu's sword, then jumped lightly and landed behind the young man in black armor, looking at Lin Ziyu mockingly.
Lin Ziyu felt like she was being played, and she was immediately furious, looking at Tang Tian behind the young man in black armor with murderous eyes.
But she hadn't lost her mind after all, and with these two people who came from unknown places, she didn't make any more moves.
Duan Qing looked at the black-armored youth with a serious expression, and his back felt a little cold. Although this person was close at hand, he could not sense his existence at all. This could only mean one thing, that his cultivation was far above his!
It seemed that this Tang had been lying from the beginning to the end. He was in the same group with these two people. No wonder he always felt something was wrong before!
Although he didn't know why he was so deliberate, he was sure that it was not a good thing!
His nerves were tense, his brain was working fast, and he had already made plans to escape!
Lin Ziyu was not stupid. She had felt that something was wrong with Tang Tian before, but she was only thinking about completing the sect's mission and chose to believe it for the time being.
Staring at Tang Tian and the other two in front of her, Lin Ziyu secretly hated that she shouldn't have believed this person's nonsense.
The current situation was very strange. The black-armored youth just sat on the ground without opening his eyes. The scene was a little awkward for a while.
At this moment, Duan Qing suddenly noticed something, slightly tilted his head and glanced behind him.
Whoosh! Two flying swords broke through the fog, one of which came straight at him, and the other hit Tang Tian.
Duan Qing immediately dodged to the side and avoided the incoming flying sword.
At the same time, Tang Tian also took a step back and barely avoided it.
