I am immortal with scientific thinking

Chapter 187
"This place is very weird..."

The old man smoking dry tobacco exhaled a puff of smoke ring, looked at the scene in front of him, and murmured.

"Nonsense, this is the place where immortals ascend, if it's not weird, then I've seen a ghost!" Someone on the side sneered.

"I mean the miasma." The old man who smoked the dry tobacco took another breath and said leisurely, "It stands to reason that when miasma is produced in the dense forest, it should spread to the surroundings and not rise straight into the sky."

"Hehe, it's not surprising that there are any abnormal phenomena in the land where immortals ascend. Compared with this, we should think about how to get through this dense forest, right?"

Lin Chen came up from the side and said with a slight smile.

"It's true, I wonder if my little friend has a method in this dense forest?" The old man asked back.

"According to the existing methods, they are nothing more than burning, felling, and breaking into these three categories. I don't know what the door and Zhang Xianggong are going to do."

Lin Chen smiled lightly, then turned his gaze to one place.

There, Zhang Zhiping was discussing with the old Taoist priest Yunmeng.

"The aristocratic family has tried it. No matter how effective the fire oil is, it will be extinguished by force after burning for a long time. The miasma in this dense forest is too dense, and the fire method will not work at all." The old Taoist Shen soundtrack.

"If this is the case, the best way is to settle down, cut down the dense forest, and eat away at every step, so that the casualties can be minimized, but..." Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but fell silent.

In this way, the loss is small, but the advancing speed is too slow.

And whether it's the old emperor's side or the aristocratic family's side, they are already breaking into it regardless of the cost. If they are allowed to enter the land of immortal ascension first...

Zhang Zhiping lowered his eyes, remembering that he had just learned that the imperial court used blood to pave the way, completely disregarding the life and death of the people, and the aristocratic family was greedy and invaded the land. If they were allowed to obtain the law of immortals, what would this world be like...

"Let's break through." Zhang Zhiping stared straight at the old Taoist priest, and said in a deep voice, "At this time, we have no other choice."

"...Yes." The old Taoist was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

Then, the two directly summoned the crowd to discuss the method of breaking through.

Most people want to hide behind the team, which can reduce the danger of opening the way, ensure their own safety, and if something goes wrong, they can also escape in time.

But if everyone hides behind, who will be at the front of the line.

Some of them wanted the group of Taoist soldiers from the Taoist gate to act as the front, hoping to weaken the power of the Taoist side, but the old Taoist priest refused without hesitation.

After a long period of "friendly" negotiation and more than a dozen heads being killed, everyone finally reached an agreement.

Yao slaves, Taoist soldiers, some martial artists and people from Miaojiang, wearing light armor, opened the way in front, and the rest followed behind.

Once entering the dense forest, the surrounding light seemed to disappear a lot in an instant, and it became extremely dim, and there was a faintly weird smell spreading.

Click click!

The sound of felling and trampling is very obvious here.

"This forest is too quiet..." Someone in the crowd murmured, which made others feel horrified.

Logically speaking, in the jungle, there should be all kinds of strange animals, birds, beasts, insects and fish, not to mention all of them, there should be quite a few.

And these creatures usually make sounds, which are used to find mates, locate, contact, etc. Therefore, in a normal forest, there should be various calls.

But the forest in front of him was extraordinarily quiet, except for them, there was no sound at all, and there was an indescribable permeation.

"Ahhh!"

Just when everyone was cautious, there was a sudden burst of screams behind them, completely breaking the silence of the forest.

what's the situation? !

The face of the old Taoist in the line froze, and he jumped up as a whole, turning into an afterimage, and came to the back of the line in an instant.

I saw more than a dozen people lying down, grasping the air feebly, their faces seemed to be distorted by fright, and their whole bodies were trembling violently.

How is this going?

The old Taoist frowned, walked over directly, chose someone to feed a detoxification pill, and asked, "What happened?"

However, what he didn't expect was that he didn't respond to the question, but stared at the sky, and then, his whole body trembled violently, and he died tragically on the spot!
Immediately afterwards, the people lying on the ground were silent or screamed one after another, and finally, they all lost their breath with hideous faces!
"What's the situation? Didn't you already take the detoxification pill, why did you still die?"

"The lips and veins are not purple. It doesn't look like poisoning, but it looks like it's being tortured to death!"

"How is this possible? There are no wounds, and they are all veterans, so how could they be killed?!"

When everyone saw this strange scene, their faces changed one after another. Such a unique way of death made them extremely afraid.

The old Taoist's face also became very solemn. Although he had been in and out of the dense forest many times, relying on the protection of his innate energy, he never suffered from such a situation.

He opened the mouth of the deceased, as if observing the situation, only to find that the tongue inside was bitten off abruptly!

"This, this... Could it be that there is a ghost upper body?"

Seeing this scene, many people took a step back subconsciously, and a trembling voice came out from among the crowd.

"Are you kidding? How could there be in this world..." Someone subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly remembered that this is the place where immortals ascended, and couldn't help but turn pale.

Could it be that there is really a ghost in this dense forest?
When the old Taoist heard this, his hands that were about to turn over the corpse couldn't help shaking, and his pupils shrank even more.

Even though he has achieved innate talent, if he really faces this legendary ghost, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose!
"Not good, back quickly..."

Just as the old Taoist was about to get up and evacuate, a chuckle came from the side.

"Look at you, you look like you haven't seen the world, you're still a ghost." Lin Chen strode up from the crowd and explained, "They should have been bitten by ants similar to bullet ants."

"Bullet ants?" The old Taoist paused when he heard these words, "I have been traveling the world for many years, why have I never heard of this insect?"

"That's a kind of bug in our hometown, you haven't heard of it, it's normal." Lin Chen said lightly, "I mean, the bug that bites them is very similar to the bug in my hometown in terms of toxin effect .”

"Once it bites someone, it's like being cut by a knife or poked by a sword, causing severe pain, and even the possibility of death."

Afterwards, Lin Chen directly turned the corpse over, and saw a small, imperceptible wound on the back of the neck of the corpse.

"The toxin of the black ants here is much more terrifying than the one in our hometown. Just one bite can make people die of pain."

"So they were tortured to death by the poison, and this poison is different from our usual poison, and there will be no obvious signs of expression, so it looks strange to die, but it has nothing to do with ghosts. "

"This..." The old Taoist looked at the wound carefully, and believed what Lin Chen said, "Little friend is really well-informed."

"It's just that I know a little more." Lin Chen smiled slightly and continued, "When you walk, everyone, be careful not to get close to the bushes, and be careful when you get off the ground..."

boom!
Before Lin Chen finished speaking, people in the team fell down one after another.

"This!"

Many people around were stunned for a while before they realized it. They retreated one after another, and their expressions became even more ugly.

This kind of silent death made almost everyone feel as if a boulder was pressing on their chests, and there was an indescribable depression.

Lin Chen moved his eyes, walked over, observed carefully, and found that his whole body was pale, as if he had lost blood, so he said, "This should be caused by insects similar to blood leeches sucking."

Afterwards, he turned over the corpse, opened his clothes and took a look, only to see that his back was really covered with dense, plump and juicy blood leeches.

Their dense numbers and weird shapes made people turn pale when they saw them, and some even vomited directly.

Lin Chen put down the corpse without changing his expression, then stood up, raised his foot, and stomped heavily.

Accompanied by a crackling sound, like a burst of pulp, after a while, dark red blood flowed out from under the corpse.

"When everyone is leaving, pay attention to your lower body, so as not to be entangled in blood leeches."

After everyone heard this, they quickly touched their bodies. What's more, they pulled up their pants and looked inside, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Chen didn't pay attention to their movements, but looked into the distance, his eyes moved slightly.

When he came in, he flew in from the air, and then set fire to it. He had never entered the dense forest outside, and he didn't expect that there would be so many troubles in it.

And this is still without spiritual energy, otherwise, if there is nourishment from spiritual energy, I am afraid that the monks will have to die here tragically.

"But even so, it's not easy to live here. It seems that casualties are inevitable, but this is good. No one will cherish things that are too easy..."

Looking at the panicked and tense people in the arena, Lin Chen's expression was inexplicable.

And not long after, everyone had to move forward again. After all, they had already reached this point, and no one would agree to retreat even if they wanted to retreat.
