Chapter 431 Ghost Thing

These demon vines quickly lifted Zhang Zhiwen up and instantly wrapped him up, but Zhang Zhiwen was not nervous because he found that these demon vines could not break his defense at all. He was really thick-skinned and the thorns on the demon vines could not break his skin at all, so Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry, because there were still many cultivators below at this time. If he broke these demon vines at this time, it would inevitably attract unnecessary attention. Just like the two cultivators who wanted to kill him before, Zhang Zhiwen could easily kill them, but he would inevitably expose some strength.

Unless Zhang Zhiwen killed all these cultivators, it would be unlikely for him to easily expose his strength. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen simply let the demon vines entangle him, and he waited motionlessly, waiting for all the scattered cultivators below to run away.

However, Zhang Zhiwen was not idle either. He was thinking about why these demon vines would attack everyone. Could it be that these demon vines would not attack those sect cultivators and immortal alliance cultivators? This is a bit unreasonable, right?

Zhang Zhiwen estimated that those sect monks and immortal alliance monks should all know about this situation, so they must have made preparations in advance, perhaps using some kind of powder or something to avoid the attack of the demon vine?

But no matter what, those sect monks and immortal alliance monks have passed through this forest, and Zhang Zhiwen is unlikely to meet those people. Zhang Zhiwen also thought about another thing, that is, Lin Zhiping's younger brother Lin Zhiyuan also came here? That guy must have brought a lot of people in, so why didn't he plan to stop Zhang Zhiwen at the beginning, or even kill Zhang Zhiwen on the spot at the entrance?

Zhang Zhiwen felt that the other party should have planned to let him find some Taoist rune fragments first, and then kill him, so that he could naturally kill two birds with one stone and save trouble, which seemed to make sense.

Lin Zhiyuan's group had a lot of people, and Zhang Zhiwen was definitely not their opponent. He could not fight many people with his two fists. Even if his body was strong, he could not kill hundreds of cultivators. On the contrary, those hundreds of cultivators might trap him to death. So Zhang Zhiwen did not plan to encounter them now, and he tried not to encounter them as much as possible. Killing people also depends on the timing. There is no need to delay the business for the sake of momentary pleasure.

At this time, the casual cultivators below had almost all run away, but Zhang Zhiwen still did not move, because he could not release his spiritual consciousness in Shenglong Secret Realm, and he was not sure if there were any other people here. So, Zhang Zhiwen waited for another day and night until he was really sure that there was no one here. He instantly broke free from the restraints of the demon vine and then jumped onto a treetop.

The demon vine was torn off and immediately reacted. Dozens of demon vines attacked Zhang Zhiwen, but Zhang Zhiwen quickly dodged because he was on the treetop at this time. He could quickly jump to another tree, and then keep jumping forward, leaving this strange and gloomy forest quickly.

Zhang Zhiwen was not reluctant. Even if many people died here, there must be a lot of things in the storage bags of these people, such as spiritual stones, but Zhang Zhiwen did not pick them up because he was not sure what other strange things there were in this strange and gloomy forest.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen rushed forward quickly on the treetops. Soon, there were fewer trees in front of him, and flat ground appeared. Zhang Zhiwen also jumped down from the treetops and landed on the flat ground.

He looked around and saw no one here, nor did he see anything strange. In front of him was a valley leading to a dark unknown place. The sky was still gray, but it was much brighter than in the woods. However, Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry to get going. He walked carefully in the valley. The surroundings were very quiet, without any movement. However, there were still three-foot-high bushes and weeds in the valley. Zhang Zhiwen didn't know what ghosts would be hidden in the bushes and weeds, so Zhang Zhiwen didn't walk fast.

In addition to the bushes and weeds, there were also scattered boulders in the valley, just like the stone roads connecting the isolated islands. These stones seemed to be flying stones from outer space, or granite that fell after the eruption of magma. Anyway, they were scattered all over the valley.

If this wasn't some dangerous secret place, Zhang Zhiwen felt that the scenery here was actually quite good. If there was another full moon, it would be particularly quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, it was extremely cold here, and I didn't know how these shrubs and weeds survived in this place.

Zhang Zhiwen squatted down and pulled a blade of grass. The place where the blade was torn instantly overflowed with green pus. The pus was extremely smelly and highly corrosive. This thing was obviously similar to the demon vine, but the demon vine had awakened a trace of spiritual intelligence, which is why it attacked the monks. This weed probably hadn't awakened spiritual intelligence yet, so it didn't attack Zhang Zhiwen.

But this thing must survive on flesh and blood, right? This place is really no different from hell, with strange and gloomy things everywhere.

So, Zhang Zhiwen continued to move forward. His eyesight was very good. Even without spiritual power, he could still see things a few miles away. This was the great benefit of a strong body. In fact, he not only had good eyesight, but also extremely keen hearing and smell. Therefore, he discovered movement in front of him from a long distance.

That was the place under the cliff on one side of the valley. There seemed to be an open fire there, and several monks were sitting around the campfire to keep warm. They seemed to be grilling meat, but Zhang Zhiwen couldn't see clearly what kind of meat they were grilling.

However, Zhang Zhiwen didn't care. He continued to move forward, because if the other party was just a few people, he wouldn't worry much. Besides, he didn't have anything on him. He had already put all the valuables in the Immortal Palace.

But soon, the monks also found Zhang Zhiwen. Although the eyesight of these monks was far inferior to Zhang Zhiwen's, they could still see people within a thousand feet. When these monks saw Zhang Zhiwen appear, they immediately extinguished the campfire and hid.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiwen frowned slightly, because he clearly felt that the other party was hiding on purpose. This situation was nothing more than planning to plot against him, and the other party probably didn't know that Zhang Zhiwen saw them from a distance.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen pretended to know nothing and continued to move forward. Not long after, he came to the campfire. He saw that they were really roasting meat on the campfire. The roasted things seemed to be wild dogs or something like that. This surprised Zhang Zhiwen a little, because he didn't expect there was such a thing here.

But it smelled pretty good, and Zhang Zhiwen also felt a little hungry, because his spiritual power was imprisoned after he came in, and he would definitely be hungry if he hadn't eaten anything for two or three days.

But Zhang Zhiwen didn't touch the barbecue, he continued to move forward, because he didn't want to cause trouble, if the other party didn't come out to trouble him, then he didn't need to trouble the other party.

So, Zhang Zhiwen continued to move forward, but the other party didn't seem to really cause trouble. When Zhang Zhiwen passed by, the other party still didn't appear, which made Zhang Zhiwen a little confused, because according to reason, the other party had more people, and Zhang Zhiwen was just alone, so he would definitely be intercepted by the other party, but they didn't.

Zhang Zhiwen simply stopped and scanned the surroundings. He found something unusual, that is, there was a trap in front!

It turned out that this group of people didn't want to alert the enemy and let Zhang Zhiwen step into the trap, and then come back to deal with Zhang Zhiwen. Zhang Zhiwen would definitely not fall for this trick. He simply turned back, and then came to the campfire, and then sat down and picked up the barbecue and ate it without any hesitation.

At this time, the hiding people couldn't sit still. They rushed out of their hiding place and surrounded Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't care. He still took a big bite of barbecue and ate it with relish, but he was a little curious. What's wrong with these guys' brains? He, Zhang Zhiwen, should be the last monk who passed by here, right? Then what's the point of these people setting traps here? Could it be that they are still preventing the people in front from coming back to trouble them?

This seems a bit unreasonable, right?

But at this time, a monk with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks among the people who surrounded him spoke.

"Damn it, put down the barbecue!"

This guy held a sword in his hand, threatening with a fierce appearance, and the other monks did the same. Zhang Zhiwen realized that these guys were very thin and small, while Zhang Zhiwen was tall and strong in front of them. Now that his spiritual power was sealed, wouldn't his strength depend on his size?

That is, these guys were afraid of him, Zhang Zhiwen, so they could only rely on numbers to show off. Zhang Zhiwen took a look and saw that there were only three people here. The one with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks was relatively strong, and the other two were even thinner. One was a monk who looked like a scholar, and the other was a tall monk. Anyway, they didn't look strong and powerful, and they were really weak compared to Zhang Zhiwen.

Not only that, the three people were wearing thin clothes and shivering at the moment. It was probably because they were very cold. Seeing them like this, Zhang Zhiwen smiled faintly, then put down the barbecue in his hand, and then he stood up. When the three people saw Zhang Zhiwen standing up, they were frightened and stepped back several steps, and stared at Zhang Zhiwen very nervously and vigilantly.

Zhang Zhiwen clapped his hands and said to them: "Don't panic, everyone. I just passed by here. I saw that there was no one here and there was food, so I came to eat a bite. I didn't want to disturb you. I hope you don't mind. Then I'll leave now!"

Zhang Zhiwen didn't take advantage of others. Besides, the other party hadn't really taken action since he appeared, so he didn't have to kill people for no reason. Therefore, after he said this, he turned around and left.

"Wait!"

The scholar stopped Zhang Zhiwen again.

Zhang Zhiwen turned around and looked at the other party in confusion. Seeing Zhang Zhiwen like this, the scholar was quite nervous, but he still said: "Brother, there is a trap ahead. Wait a minute, I will take you there."

Zhang Zhiwen didn't expect this guy to actually tell him about the trap, but he was not a fool. The other party couldn't be so polite to him for no reason, otherwise they could have come out to dissuade Zhang Zhiwen when he was about to go there.

But Zhang Zhiwen didn't say much. He let the scholar lead him around the trap. The trap was quite hidden and looked quite powerful. After the scholar led Zhang Zhiwen out of the trap, he clasped his fists and said to Zhang Zhiwen: "Okay, there are no traps ahead, brother, take care."

After the scholar said this, he turned around and went back without any other actions, which made Zhang Zhiwen even more confused.

He thought to himself, could he have met a good person?

But when Zhang Zhiwen looked at the monk with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks, there was a hint of mockery in that guy's eyes. It was obvious that there must be some danger ahead that he didn't know about.

But at this moment, there was a noise in front, and then Zhang Zhiwen saw some people running out of the bushes in front of him in panic. These people were covered in blood and ran towards here in a panic.

But before Zhang Zhiwen could see them clearly, a group of skeletons rushed out of the bushes. Even if Zhang Zhiwen saw it, he would still widen his eyes, because he actually saw a ghost in broad daylight?

There were quite a lot of skeletons, and the skeletons rushed up and made a creaking sound. In addition, these skeletons held shining swords and guns in their hands, but these were nothing. What Zhang Zhiwen was most concerned about was that the eye sockets of these skeletons were emitting green fire, and the whole body was flashing with stars from time to time.

Aren’t these starlights the fragments of Taoist runes?

When Zhang Zhiwen was stunned, the monks who were fleeing had already rushed here, and the skeletons chasing them ran faster. They caught up with a monk in a few seconds, and then chopped at the monk with a knife.

The monk was so scared that he turned his head and tried to block with his sword. With a clang, the long sword in the monk's hand was knocked out, and the monk was chopped off, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, and then fell heavily to the ground. Before the monk could get up, the group of skeletons rushed over and attacked him with random knives.

The monk screamed and blood splashed. In a moment, the screams stopped. Then the group of skeletons pounced on the monk's body and ate it crazily, and the remaining skeletons who didn't grab the flesh and blood continued to chase the rest of the people!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but shrink his pupils. What kind of monster is this? It turned into bones and was still so cruel?

The group of skeletons soon caught up with a monk. The monk didn't even think about it and chopped the skeleton with a sword. With a clang, the skeleton scattered all over the ground. Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwen was shocked again. Obviously, the skeleton didn't seem to be very good, but the next moment, his opinion changed, because the skeletons scattered all over the ground regrouped with a few clacking sounds, and quickly got up to chase the monk.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwen knew what was going on. This thing couldn't be killed. It stood up again after being beaten. Moreover, the eye sockets with green fire actually glowed with a trace of blood-red light. It seemed that the skeleton became more fierce and faster. It caught up with the monk who was watching it in a few moves, and then raised its sword.

The monk was also scared to death, yelling and turning back to resist, but he heard a clang, and his magic sword was cut off by the skeleton, and the skeleton cut him in half from head to tail with one knife!

The other monks didn't even look at this scene, they fled madly towards Zhang Zhiwen!

And the monk who was chopped to death immediately became the rations of the skeleton, and the remaining skeletons continued to chase these monks.

But this is not over yet, the monk who was chopped to death and eaten in front actually got up again, but now it is a bloody skeleton. It staggered for a while, and then it picked up a knife and gun and joined the team of pursuit!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiwen felt his scalp tingling. He turned around and retreated without thinking, because this thing was obviously not dead, as long as there was no problem with his brain, he would definitely not fight with such a thing.

But just as he turned around, a net was suddenly pulled up in front of him, blocking the way around the trap. Zhang Zhiwen looked up and saw that the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced monk and his two accomplices were looking at him insidiously, with a playful and evil smile on their lips!
