Chapter 29

"Human heads growing on trees?"

"It's on the vines."

"Could the heads of those headless skeletons on the ground have all transformed into part of the vines?"

"I only know that if we don't run fast, there will be two more heads hanging up there in a while."

Li Youyi carried Gao Huan on his shoulder and ran wildly in the dense forest; the sound of rapid "rustling" shuttle always came from the trees behind, and there were all kinds of human-like hoarse laughter.

Escaping to a canyon, he looked back.

In the dark blue sky, a thick vine rushed out of the cliff like a flood dragon, with heads swaying on it, straight into the hundred-meter fog dome.

"Run!"

Stepping on streams when encountering water, jumping when encountering ravines.

Even when they couldn't hear the sound of the vines, they didn't dare to stop at all.

Really exhausted, and the vines hadn't caught up yet, so Gao Huan carried Li Youyi. Li Youyi performed the Jade Void Breathing Method on his back to recover his energy and physical strength as quickly as possible.

The two took turns, or escaped together, exhausted for a whole night.

When they rushed out of the dark and gloomy fog forest, they couldn't hold on anymore, sat down one after another, and fell down again, lying limply on the grass of a hillside.

The sweat was dried up, the strength was exhausted, as if the soul had been drawn away.

"Don't run anymore, can't run anymore, Master Li, you go first... don't worry about me... let me hang up there. One more step, and I'll die." Gao Huan lay there, exhausted, just wanting to sleep until he was unconscious on the ground.

"Then I'll hang up there too!"

Li Youyi was also tired, just feeling the ground was really soft, and the sky was really warm.

Taking a deep breath...

"Eh!"

The gloomy, rotten, and moldy smell in the forest was gone.

Li Youyi opened his eyelids, then turned over and sat up, slapped Gao Huan's butt hard, and laughed loudly: "Gao Fish Soup, get up quickly, get up quickly, that vine monster didn't chase us, we have come to the human world, blue sky, white clouds, green grass, wild flowers... Hahaha..."

The morning glow was soft, and the mountain breeze was gentle.

These things that were ordinary on Earth were, in Li Youyi's eyes at this moment, like a fairyland that would only appear in a dream.

The most ordinary human world, for the two who had experienced darkness, slaughter, ghosts, hunger, and anxiety, was even more precious than a fairyland.

Li Youyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Soil, fragrant grass, wild flowers... even the blue sky and white clouds were so sweet and charming.

All fatigue vanished in an instant.

Gao Huan finally sat up, saw the surrounding environment clearly, and also laughed foolishly like Li Youyi. Then, like a madman, he crawled and rushed toward a goose-yellow wild flower, picked it, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it hard, saying repeatedly: "It's this taste... it's this taste..."

The two ran for a night, with thorn scratches everywhere on their faces, hands, legs, and clothes, sweat dried and wet, wet and dried, looking extremely miserable.

After gradually calming down.

Pain, fatigue, and hunger struck back.

The food and water they carried had long been lost in some ravine or stream. On the contrary, things that couldn't be eaten, like the Yellow Dragon Sword, the evil camel bell, and the money bag, were not lost at all.

The two lay down again.

Gao Huan put the wild flower in his mouth and chewed, saying weakly: "We can't lie down like this, we can eat grass roots, and then go find a stream to drink our fill."

"Yes, if we can find a town where humans live, take a hot bath, and have a bowl of noodle soup with cilantro, I wouldn't trade it for a fairyland," Li Youyi said.

Gao Huan had light in his eyes again because of what Li Youyi said, swallowing his dry throat wildly: "I don't want cilantro... I want soy sauce beef..."

Suddenly.

A thick, deep, and thick voice sounded above their heads: "What are you two muttering about?"

The two, who were already exhausted, sleepy, and hungry to the extreme, sat up like they were electrocuted.

Slowly turned their heads.

Looking up along the shadow cast on the ground.

Only to see a man in his early thirties, with a sturdy build, standing on a hillside not far away. He had thick eyebrows and huge eyes, a slightly wide face, long and slightly curly hair, and rough but very textured skin.

Gao Huan couldn't understand what he was saying, but could feel the awe-inspiring aura on the other party.

Li Youyi felt it even more strongly.

This person's ability was definitely much higher than his, otherwise it would be impossible to appear there without a sound. You know, even if he was in a state of extreme fatigue, he never completely let go of his vigilance.

Just now when he was chatting and joking with Gao Huan on the ground, he was also constantly mobilizing the cold and hot airflows to nurse his tired and exhausted body, in order to recover his physical strength as soon as possible.

What was terrifying was not just the other party's aura cultivation.

It was the ruthlessness in the other party's eyes that ignored life; this kind of look could absolutely only be cultivated by killing countless people.

Shi Jiuzhai laughed and scolded: "Were you two sent out to scout and keep watch? Why are you so miserable, did you encounter evil demons or dead spirits?"

Li Youyi could understand the general meaning of Shi Jiuzhai's words and realized it in an instant.

It was the clothes he and Gao Huan were wearing that caused the other party to have some kind of misunderstanding.

The clothes the other party was wearing also looked very much like a monk's robe.

But it was not brown, but winter-green.

How should this be explained?

Could this be explained?

Tell the other party that the two of them stripped the clothes off the dead and put them on?

The other party would probably rather believe that they killed someone and stole the money.

Li Youyi didn't dare to bet on the other party's character, so he hurriedly nodded, pretending to be overly frightened, gesturing while saying: "Evil demons! Many heads... vines... so thick..."

Although he had learned the language of this world, he hadn't used it for many years and was very rusty.

However, it just happened to fit his current state.

"You encountered the Thousand-Headed Dragon Vine?"

A look of fear clearly flashed in Shi Jiuzhai's eyes, and he strode down the hillside, slapping a palm toward Li Youyi from the air.

The palm force whistled.

Li Youyi only felt a violent wind and huge waves attacking, his body like a lonely boat in the deep sea, thinking it was where he had made a mistake and was seen through by the other party. He had to grit his teeth and mobilize the cold and hot airflows in the spring eyes at the soles of his feet, and both palms came out together.

Then fight for his life!

"Boom!"

Li Youyi was sent flying, his internal organs felt like they were going to shatter, and he couldn't climb up anymore.

"Haha, no wonder you were able to escape death, you little wolf cub has already opened three spring eyes, right? At your age, that's okay."

Shi Jiuzhai walked to Gao Huan, grabbed his cheek with a big hand, identified it carefully, and was surprised: "There's actually a pure immortal body? Why is there no magic power in the body at all, just transformed?"

Li Youyi didn't understand what "little wolf cub" and "three spring eyes" were at all.

He had only opened two spring eyes at the soles of his feet, where did the third one come from?

However, he also understood that the other party was not suspicious, but was testing his strength. Afraid that Gao Huan would be exposed, he hurriedly said: "That's right... he just transformed successfully..."

"The Thousand-Headed Dragon Vine should be full, otherwise you would definitely not have been able to escape."

Shi Jiuzhai loosened his iron-clamp-like fingers and asked: "Who do you two follow?"

Li Youyi guessed that the outfit he was wearing might represent some force. The person in front of him was most likely a powerful figure with a high status in this force.

Li Youyi had thousands of thoughts in his mind in an instant, and laughed: "Of course we follow you, my lord."

"Haha, you have a clever spirit, good, follow this king from now on!"

Shi Jiuzhai walked back up the hillside, his tiger eyes focused, staring at the long and narrow river valley in the shade between the two mountains below. On both sides of the river, the mountains were majestic and steep, rising more than a thousand meters.

A dirt road was opened by the river, and a huge coffin-carrying team walked out continuously from the side shrouded in nether fog.

Li Youyi and Gao Huan dragged their tired bodies, climbed up the low slope, and appeared beside Shi Jiuzhai.

The terrain here was very high, and the field of vision was wide.

Looking around.

Under the morning sun, the ancient ridges and mountains were all shrouded in white morning fog and warm-colored glow, like the dragon spine of the earth extending to the horizon and gradually becoming faint.

The sky was high and the earth was wide, the wind blew the robes like flags, giving people a feeling of great passion.

The coffin-carrying team by the river valley below, people were like ants, all wearing gray-white linen clothes. Four people carried one coffin, a thousand coffins walked together, like a white long snake extending out.

The sound of work songs echoed between the mountains on both sides, and there was the sound of riding beasts running back and forth.

Paper money was scattered all over the dirt road, and some were rolled up by the wind, drifting to both sides of the big river.

The first coffin was made of silver-like material, tied with hemp rope, as big as a house, and could probably hold a hundred people. It was placed on a cart, pulled by a green ox bigger than an elephant, and the sound of the wheels could be clearly heard even from a thousand meters away in the empty valley.

Li Youyi said: "Are these all salvaged from the blood sea?"

"Otherwise?"

Shi Jiuzhai laughed: "The Jiuli tribe relies on salvaging alien-world coffins from the Blood Sea Coffin Dock, selling them to the entire Lingxiao Twenty-Eight States, making a lot of money. Such a good business without capital, but only they can do it, who isn't jealous?"

From today on, the Earth Wolf King Army would also share a piece of the pie.

The world was already in chaos, how could Lizhou be alone?

"Go, let's return to the camp first, and wait for them at the Dragon-Killing Mouth ahead."

Shi Jiuzhai spat out a gray fog from his mouth, the wind was strong, the gray fog spread for several zhang, wrapping Li Youyi and Gao Huan inside. Afterwards, he crossed the cliff and wall with one step of more than ten zhang, and rushed down the mountain to the other side.

Li Youyi and Gao Huan, who were in the gray fog, only felt wrapped in dense cloud clusters, as if they had no weight, always flying behind Shi Jiuzhai.

"Spitting out clouds, crossing cliffs and walls in one step. Is he still human?"

In the minds of the two, such thoughts appeared.

Li Youyi was incomparably worried; this person must have a very high status in the force, and it was normal not to remember the people below. But returning to the camp, the two of them would definitely be exposed.

By then, what kind of death would it be?

Must find a way to escape as soon as possible.

At this moment, Li Youyi no longer had the mind to track the skeleton demon and save Cai Yutong, only feeling that he and Gao Huan were already facing death.
