The surroundings were eerie and deathly silent. There was only the sound of rustling that made people's hair stand on end. Hearing the sound, Ye Hao's heart was pounding and his throat felt like it was being choked.

Over there, the black fog churned and the rustling sounds were much more chaotic than before. Ye Hao held his breath as he concentrated. Soon, he saw dozens of black shadows of different sizes slowly emerging from the black fog.

"This is …" As the outline became clearer, Ye Hao's heart was thrown into turmoil.

Ye Hao was shocked to discover that the realms of this group of Demonic Beast all exceeded Ninth Layer of Body Tempering, and he even saw a few terrifying greater demons that were comparable to Life Sea Stage within them.

However, it was such a group of valiant and terrifying Demonic Beast that were currently in the same state as the youth that walked past them. There were dark red blood trickling out of their seven orifices, and they were staring straight ahead as if summoned by an evil demon.

"What exactly is in the depths of this Black Mountain Range?"

Ye Hao muttered with an unnatural expression. When the Demonic Beast disappeared from his sight, his entire body was drenched in cold sweat. A wave of cold wind blew past and he couldn't help but feel goosebumps on his back.

The continuous attacks made Ye Hao's mind tremble like never before. In the depths of the mountain range, there was also this Black Ghost Fog. It was simply too strange and terrifying.

At the same time, many questions also appeared in Ye Hao's heart. Before his consciousness recovered, was he like the other creatures before him, walking to this place by himself?

Also, can the young man and the group of Demonic Beast that disappeared like walking dead still be considered living beings?

When he recalled their strange appearances, he could not help but feel his hair stand on end. He quickly touched his facial features to make sure no blood was dripping out before he heaved a sigh of relief.

It was also at this moment that a ripple suddenly appeared on the lifeblood armor that enveloped his body that seemed to be solid. It visibly shrank in size. It seemed that it would completely disappear before long.

Following the disappearance of this vital energy and blood, the strange black fog that was floating around suddenly pressed toward Xiao Yan as though it had grabbed onto a gap.

"This is bad!"

The sudden turn of events caused Ye Hao's expression to change. He was very clear that the reason he was able to recover his consciousness and not be attacked by the Black Ghost Fog was because he was relying on the Blood Essence's power hidden deep within his flesh to protect himself.

He currently had no way of controlling that power. At that instant, the dense Qi and blood that enveloped his body seemed to only feel the terror of the black fog and it passively protected him.

Ye Hao could completely imagine that if the power of protection disappeared, he would also definitely become a human and a ghost, becoming a dead object as if he was a walking corpse, completely lost in the depths of the Black Mountain Range.

Thinking to this point, Ye Hao became anxious and his expression became somewhat sinister. He did not dare to tarry at all as his gaze quickly swept across the faintly discernible mountain peak in the distance. After confirming the direction of the Heiyuan City, his foot heavily stepped on the ground and his body shot out like an arrow that had left the bow.

He had to rush out of this demonic Black Ghost Fog before the Blood Vital Armor disappeared completely.

"Whiz!"

Ye Hao clenched his teeth. The veins on his forehead were popping. The wind was howling beside his ears. His body was like a black lightning as he instantly dashed hundreds of meters away.

The moment he moved, the ghost mist that was floating on the flat ground actually seemed to have its own will as it violently surged, as if it wanted to prevent him from escaping.

This strange scene made Ye Hao extremely shocked. Just what kind of existence was this Black Ghost Fog? And how was it formed?

However, at that moment, he was not in the mood to think about that. As the black mist continued to surge forward, the Blood Aura Armor on his body became weaker and weaker. It was as if it would disappear in the next instant.

"Damn it!"

Ye Hao's speed increased again. At the same time, he secretly cursed himself. If he were to escape this place without any delay after regaining consciousness, he wouldn't be in such a dangerous situation.

With this thought in mind, his entire body turned into an afterimage. His speed had already reached its limit. A clear jade-blue sky vaguely appeared in front of him.

"It's almost done. Let's hang on for a while longer!"

Just as Ye Hao was moving like lightning, an extremely rich fragrance suddenly entered his nose.

The moment he smelled the fragrance, the Qi in Ye Hao's body became more active than ever.

The current situation could be said to be a life and death situation. He could not afford to be distracted, but the instant the medicinal fragrance entered his nose, an almost instinctual thirst made Ye Hao unable to control himself and he cast his gaze to the right.

Over there, there was a green plant over three feet tall. It swayed slightly within the black mist. There were not many leaves on it, and it emitted a sparkling and translucent luster.

What was even more shocking was that there was a green coloured fruit that looked like it was carved out of jade hanging on the plant. It was full of vitality and had a dense medicinal fragrance that continuously spread in all directions.

"That is …" Jade Marrow Fruit? Grade three spirit medicine! " The moment Ye Hao saw the plant, his eyes widened. Amidst his shocked exclamations, there was an unconcealable shock.

The jade-green spiritual herb swaying in the wind, he had seen it in some ancient book that recorded spiritual medicines. He would never recognize it wrong.

In an instant, an unprecedented fire appeared in Ye Hao's eyes. His breathing became ragged, and even his speed slowed down at that moment.

It had to be known that not to mention him, even Tao Soul Stage experts would drool at the sight of a third grade spirit medicine. Its rarity and rarity was something that even with their entire Ye Family, they only had one spirit medicine at present, and even the Patriarch didn't have the right to use it privately.

From this, it could be seen that the third grade spirit medicine was definitely an incomparably precious Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

At this moment, Ye Hao's gaze was burning like it was on fire. However, in the next moment, he suddenly thought of the environment he was in and his expression changed.

"Damn!" "It's too late!" Looking at the Blood and Qi armor that was getting weaker and weaker, Ye Hao cursed with a pained expression. Then, with a "sou" sound, his speed increased again.

People die for money, birds die for food.

Even though Grade 3 Elixirs were rare, they still needed to be used for their lives. Right now, the surrounding ghost fog was raging and there was no time for him to pick them.

Unless, of course, he wanted to be completely lost in this strange black mountain range.

Ye Hao gritted his teeth and forced himself not to look at the Jade Marrow Fruit. At this moment, his heart was bleeding. He was afraid that if he looked at it again, his head would go crazy.

Finally, after galloping for a dozen breaths of time, a hill filled with sunlight appeared in Ye Hao's line of sight.

He stomped his foot heavily on the ground. Without the slightest hesitation, he charged out of the black mist, bringing with him the powerful sound of wind breaking.

Just as Ye Hao was panting heavily as he rushed up the hill, the Blood Power armor that seemed to be made of flesh and blood around his body completely vanished as well, as if it had never existed.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

He looked not far behind him, where the Black Ghost Fog was still churning. He could not help but feel a lingering fear, if he was slightly slower, he would have been like those walking dead bodies, completely lost in this place.

Thinking about this, Ye Hao did not dare to stay any longer. After retreating far away, he stood on top of a huge tree and looked at the area that was filled with black fog.

"This Black Mountain Range is truly evil."

Ye Hao sighed with some lingering fear and finally understood that the legends about this horrifying mountain range were not groundless rumors.

How exactly did these demonic and terrifying Black Ghost Fog form? And where would the young man and the Demonic Beast that were lost in the ghost fog go?

Ye Hao's eyes lit up. The only thing he was sure of was that there seemed to be a limit to the range of this evil ghost fog. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to escape.

Thinking to this, Ye Hao could not help but rejoice. To be able to survive from this Black Ghost Fog, he was probably the first in the history of Heiyuan City.

"What a pity about the Jade Marrow Fruit." After calming his emotions, Ye Hao thought of the Tier 3 spiritual herb that was swaying in the black fog with a medicinal fragrance that filled the air. His face was filled with regret.

The appearance of a third grade spirit medicine was enough to make all the top forces within the Heiyuan City, including their Ye Family, go completely crazy.

Ye Hao believed that if he could obtain that Jade Marrow Fruit, his own realm might directly soar to the Body Tempering Great Perfection, or even open up his life sea in one go.

However, that Grade 3 Elixir could not be obtained in the end. The place where it grew was covered by Black Ghost Fog, and cultivators could not get close to it.

Black Mountain Range was indeed worthy of being called a place where danger and opportunity coexisted. Although Ye Hao had experienced a great danger this time, he was still able to find traces of the third grade spirit medicine by accident, so it wasn't like he didn't have any gains.

"When will this ghost fog leave?" As he observed, Ye Hao noticed that the churning black fog seemed to be shrinking its scope and gradually entering into the depths of the mountain range.

If the demonic ghost mist dissipated, perhaps … He could try to harvest that Grade 3 Elixir.

Ye Hao's gaze slightly flickered. The temptation of rank 3 elixirs was something that normal people could not resist. So, even though he had experienced the terror of the ghost fog, he still had quite a few thoughts in his heart.

Roar!

Just as he was hesitating, a shocking Demonic Beast roar came from afar.

The moment he heard the roar, Ye Hao's expression changed. Although he was lucky enough to escape from the demonic ghost mist, there were still many powerful Demonic Beast present deep within the Black Mountain Range.

At present, not to mention that gigantic beast with a suspected Life Sea Stage, even a Demonic Beast with Body Tempering Great Perfection could easily swallow him up.

"We can only talk about it later." Ye Hao took a deep look at the deep parts of the mountain range filled with black fog, then decisively rushed out towards the dense forest that was the examination area for Ye Family.

However, what Ye Hao did not know was that not long after he left, from the black mist deep within the mountain range, an extremely terrifying evil laugh came out: "Is that the Supreme Blood Essence? Or maybe … Tsk tsk, but compared to all of this, this is still your soul. "Everything that belongs to you will belong to me sooner or later …"

"..."

In the dense forest, Ye Hao was like an arrow as he quickly flew towards the outer area. He was constantly on guard, but he did not see any signs of Demonic Beast.

After a moment of confusion, he recalled the group of Demonic Beast s within the black mist that looked like walking corpses. He could only shake his head with a bitter smile.

Thinking about it, with the engulfment of the Black Ghost Fog, all the Demonic Beast in the depths of the forest had already been lost in the black mist formed by the evil demon.

Ye Hao heaved a sigh of relief as he thought of this. Then, worry appeared in his black eyes as he muttered, "I wonder if Ye Ze has sent the news back to the clan yet."

Just as Ye Hao was getting worried, an extremely strong sense of danger suddenly exploded in his heart without any warning. It made his entire body tense up and he felt like he was being watched by a giant beast.

Ye Hao stopped abruptly as the blood in his body surged. His eyes were like that of an eagle's as he looked forward with extreme sharpness.

Over there, a young man with an extraordinary demeanor, akin to a dragon among men, was currently flying over in his direction.

It was Ye Tianlin.
