C138 The Strange Forest

The Oddity Forest, chapter 137.

The atmosphere in the dark forest was extremely strange. It was as if a demon would appear in the next breath and devour the entire forest.

Gai Yin and Xu Miaofu stopped on the wet fallen leaves. Gai Yin did not move, and Xu Miaofu did not move either.

"What is it?" Xu Miaofu tightly grabbed Gai Yin's hand. She was prepared at all times and was very vigilant. She first looked around before turning back to look at Gai Yin.

Gai Yin slightly closed his eyes. In this kind of environment, the eyes did not have much effect. The hearing of the ear was the most important.

After closing his eyes, Gai Yin heard a whistling sound. It was like the sound of ghosts seeking their lives, and it was also like the sudden attack of an evil god. Gai Yin felt that his surroundings were full of danger. He immediately regretted that he should not have rashly stepped into this dark forest.

"We are surrounded!" Gai Yin said softly. Although he regretted stepping into the forest, he was not afraid of these dangers.

Xu Miaofu leaned closely behind Gai Yin. She clenched her fists and was ready to summon her Fire Hibiscus at any time.

"What danger? What is my enemy?" Xu Miaofu looked around vigilantly. She was also looking for danger.

Gai Yin shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe it's the black leaves under our feet, or maybe it's the black leaves hanging high up in the air, or maybe it's all the big trees around us."

"What? How could this be? Could it be that this is a forest of demons?" Xu Miaofu asked doubtfully. She was ready to summon out her Searing Flames Hibiscus and use the invisible flames to probe the surrounding environment.

Gai Yin snorted lightly. "You can use your invisible fire to test it. Perhaps you can find the source of the danger."

Xu Miaofu nodded. Without any hesitation, she closed her eyes and summoned the Hibiscus of Bathing Fire. After that, the invisible flame spread to the surrounding void and started to burn.

After a moment, Xu Miaofu was stunned. She said coldly. "This... How is this possible!"

"What's wrong?" Gai Yin asked hurriedly. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Xu Miaofu frowned and sighed. She said, "My invisible fire is useless. It can't burn anything, but I can feel that thing is around us. It is erratic. I can't find it at all. My invisible fire can't find it either."

"What? Is it so strange?" Gai Yin was also slightly shocked. He did not expect to encounter such a troublesome problem.

"You should search again and try again. I will also use the Battle Word God Restriction to find the source of the danger." Gai Yin seemed extremely helpless. This was the first time he felt that this was a troublesome matter, and also the first time he was unable to come up with any solutions.

There was no fear other than the unknown. Everything in the Dark Forest was unknown. Once one was trapped in it, it was as if one had fallen into a bottomless abyss. However, this was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that there were countless dangers hidden in the endless unknown. No one knew when these dangers would explode and when they would unleash their fatal attacks.

Gai Yin and Xu Miaofu had fallen into such a situation. The Dark Forest was unknown, and those hidden dangers were staring at Gai Yin and Xu Miaofu, waiting for the best time to strike.

A gust of chilly wind blew past. Gai Yin's ears twitched slightly, and a whistling Fist Energy flew over, causing Gai Yin to be caught off guard.

"A sneak attack?" Gai Yin muttered to himself. Then, he clenched his fist and found his direction. He threw out a punch and collided with the incoming Fist Energy. A muffled sound rang out in the darkness far away from Gai Yin.

Gai Yin frowned and quickly reminded Xu Miaofu who was beside him. He said, "There are indeed many dangers in here. There is actually a monster that attacked us. You have to be careful."

Xu Miaofu nodded and said, "I also feel danger. This danger seems to come from all directions. You have to be careful too."

Gai Yin also nodded slightly. Then he snorted lightly and continued to close his eyes to listen to the danger around him.

The wind was blowing and there was a trace of grief mixed in the wind. A cold breeze brushed past Gai Yin's face, causing him to feel a chill down his spine. There seemed to be something extra on his face. Gai Yin frowned slightly. He reached out his hand to touch his face, and then the smell of blood came. Gai Yin touched the thing on his face. It was sticky. Without thinking too much, Gai Yin knew. This was blood.

"Blood?" Gai Yin asked softly. He frowned and looked in the direction of the blood. He could not see anything. Everything was unknown.

"What did you say? Blood, where's the blood?" Xu Miaofu quickly asked and then suddenly shook. She also smelled the scent of blood.

" That's right, it is the smell of blood. This... "Xu Miaofu exclaimed and seemed to be even more alert. She kept looking around. Although there were pitifully few things that could be seen, she still felt a sense of security.

Gai Yin listened quietly. The wind was like a messenger, sending a message to Gai Yin.

Gai Yin heard wails and screams from the wind. He knew that these sounds came from other cultivators who had entered the dark forest. These cultivators might have died here.

The screams drifted away along with the wind. Gai Yin analyzed for a long time and then said, "This might not be a monster. I just tried to communicate with the Battle Word God Restriction in the depths of my mind, but it was useless. That means we are not in danger now."

Xu Miaofu heard Gai Yin's words and shook her head. "No,i feel danger. I also smell blood. The danger is nearby. We cannot let our guard down."

Gai Yin did not reply. He continued to listen to the wind around him. The wind brought him a lot of information.

"Ambush? Another sneak attack, an endless sneak attack?" It was a male voice that came from the wind and was heard by Gai Yin.

Gai Yin paused for a moment. He was not familiar with this voice, but he could hear from it that all the cultivators who entered the dark forest were like him. They did not see the so-called enemies, but were constantly ambushed by the enemies in the dark forest.

"Be careful, it seems like the things around us only know how to sneak attack. None of the cultivators who entered have seen any enemies.

Xu Miaofu had never been sneak attacked before, so she became even more vigilant. Because she had never come into contact with danger before, under such circumstances, not understanding the enemy was the biggest weakness, so Xu Miaofu could only be extra careful.

"Hmm?" Gai Yin had just closed his eyes when he heard a strange sound again.

"Sword Astral!" Gai Yin was stunned. This time, it was actually a sword energy attack. This was something that Gai Yin did not expect, but Gai Yin quickly prepared. He struck out another Fist Energy, the last of the three consecutive punches, and confronted the incoming sword energy.

Boom!

Not far away, a loud sound was heard. Gai Yin gritted his teeth. Although the sword energy had collapsed, Gai Yin knew that this would put him in a passive position. It would be very difficult for him to take the initiative to attack. If he did not take the initiative to attack, it would be impossible for him to win.

"This won't do. I'm still a coward after being ambushed. I'm going to take the initiative!" Gai Yin said fiercely.
