Mystery Leaks

Chapter 533 Soul Spirit
We were shocked, and hurriedly looked at the dense forest in the distance. We were surprised to find that there were many dark shadows in the dense forest, rushing towards us, soundlessly, like ghosts.

"Be careful!" Huang Mao immediately warned.

We immediately formed a defensive formation, I opened the Lieyan Jinzhong, activated the nine-star wheel, Xiong Da held the plaque, and was ready to start filming.

Soon, those things were gone, and we couldn't help but feel numb when we saw it.

This is a group of carrion corpses, and there are everything, people, wolves, tigers, elephants, birds and beasts, and so on, everything that can appear in the forest.

They were all rotten, the corpses were watery, the bones were exposed, and the pupils were bleeding. It looked hideous and terrifying, and it made people tremble all over.

After a while, they rushed to the front. At this time, they were silent, like a group of shadows.But the strange thing is that the flashlight shines on them, but it doesn't pass through, and there is a reflection of the entity.

I was a little confused.

This group of rotting corpses is beyond my cognition.

If it's a real corpse, it's a real body, and it's impossible to walk without making a sound. If it's a spirit body, the flashlight shouldn't be able to penetrate it.

Soon, they rushed forward, regardless of Lieyan Jinzhong's horror, they rushed forward, scratching and biting separately, as if sharing food.

"What exactly are these things?" Cao Nan's face changed drastically.

"Try it!"

Huang Mao didn't say anything, and immediately shot out a sword aura. With a "whoosh", the sword aura concentrated on one of the carrion corpses, and immediately pierced a hole in its head. Red, white and all burst out from the back of the head, splashing A large piece.

However, this thing didn't fall down because of this, it just raised its head slightly and continued to rush forward.

"It's a solid body. The reason there is no sound is because they floated up and didn't land on the ground." Seeing this, Huang Mao said immediately.

"Buzz!"

Seeing this, I got a boost of momentum, the Flame Golden Bell expanded violently, and the terrifying flames surged out, pushing all the gathered carrion corpses flying around, and many of them were burned into ashes in mid-air.It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it can be burned, it doesn't matter whether it is a spirit or a carrion; the charge of the carrion is immediately stopped.

But they didn't stop, they were crazy and persistent, they didn't have the concept of fear at all, they rushed upwards like moths to a flame.

There were a lot of them, and they were all over the place. At the beginning, it was only in the front. After a while, they also appeared from the back and sides, and surrounded us.

"Daniu, do it!" Seeing this, Huang Mao said immediately.

Feng Daniu nodded immediately, and thrust the water and fire stick into the ground fiercely, and then began to mutter, and the cyan wood attribute energy was injected into it.

At this time, a strange thing happened, I saw a bud suddenly sprouting from the water fire stick, which was swaying with the wind, and at the same time, all the nearby trees swayed too.

Then I saw their tree roots jumping out of the ground quickly, extending and lengthening, like the tentacles of an octopus, dragging them into the soil when they were caught in corrosion, or they were rolled and exploded forcefully.

All the nearby trees have undergone this change. There are a lot of them, not even a few rotting corpses, and the attack surface becomes very impressive at once.

This is the characteristic of the elemental force of the wood attribute, the main control and recovery, because it is also a kind of anger.It is unique to be in the forest.

"Woooooooo..."

At this moment, in the jungle in the distance, a horn sounded suddenly, very low, even inaudible.

Before the sound fell, something even more surprising happened. A large number of these carrion corpses dissipated with the wind like phantoms, turning into black air and disappearing without a trace.

The fierce attack came to an abrupt end, which made us feel as if we had punched cotton in our preparations, which was extremely uncomfortable.

In just three to five breaths, they disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the ground, there are no corpses, no footprints, or even any traces, as if they were just our hallucinations.Even the water from their corpses that had fallen on the ground before was gone.

There are only a few traces of the place where the battle has been fought, the paw prints on the tree, and the pits made in the mud, which are extremely strange.

My brain crashed immediately, and I didn't understand what was going on. I wondered: "What the hell are these ghosts? When they fight, they clearly have entities, but when they disappear, they look like ghosts?"

Huang Mao was also very surprised, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, and said in surprise: "This... this seems to be the legendary spirit."

"Spirit?" I searched my stomach and confirmed that I have no idea about this word, and I have never heard of it.

"Soul and soul are actually two things. For example, we humans have both soul and soul. The soul masters the spirit, and the soul masters the body." Huang Mao explained, and then said: "A person with a strong soul, then This person's spirit will appear to be better, with sharp eyes and full of energy, but the spirit is different. The spirit dominates the body. Some people have a good spirit, but their body is not good. Drowsy, this is caused by the difference in the strength of the soul."

I nodded, soul and po are indeed two things.When a person is in good health, it is usually said that he has a vigorous physique, and this soul affects the body.

"Usually, only the soul can turn into a ghost, and the po will gradually dissipate after death. When the po is completely dissipated, the corpse will emit a smell and start to turn into corpse water. Only in very special cases, the po Only then will it condense and not disperse, turning into a soul ghost, which is what we call a soul spirit." Huang Mao said again.

"No wonder they are obviously spirit bodies, but they look like they have real bodies, and they also emit the rotten smell of rotting corpses." Feng Daniu suddenly realized.

Huangmao nodded, "That's right, the main body of the soul itself has a body odor. After absorbing enough Yin Qi, it will emit a rancid smell, which is fundamentally different from the soul. No matter how the soul changes, it is impossible to carry the smell." , it is even more impossible to show a substantial body during the battle, unless it is at the level of the ghost king, the ghost body can condense enough yin energy to transform into a real body."

We nodded, we have learned a lot.The soul and the body are inseparable. The smell of a person is what the soul exudes, which can be light or heavy.

"Under what circumstances will this thing appear, and there are so many?" Cao Nan asked.

"That's not clear." Huang Mao shook his head and said: "In most cases, the soul will dissipate naturally, because it does not have an autonomous consciousness like the soul, and it will turn ghosts into spirits by devouring Yin Qi. Only in very special cases Only in the environment, will it condense and not disperse, and become a soul ghost. As for the environment formed, I had a quick glance at the beginning and didn't remember it in detail." Huang Mao shook his head and said.

I nodded. No wonder they were as fearless as moths to a flame before. Although they were crazy, they were lifeless.It turns out that the soul has no self-consciousness, or these things have not had time to have self-consciousness.

"Then if you get scratched, you will die, and what's the matter with the dead body?" After a pause, Cao Nan asked again.

I'm also curious, this is what it said in the diary, the captain was scratched, so he asked the team to execute him and burn the body.

"I guess it should be that if these ghost things scratch people, it will not only scratch the flesh, but also the soul. Once the soul is polluted or damaged, the person's body will rot soon, and it is difficult for gods to save them. As for the corpse , It may be the soul, not the real corpse, when the corpse is completely destroyed, the soul will also dissipate, and it will not become a soul ghost." Huang Mao said.

We nodded, reasoning, it makes sense.

"It's really interesting."

I muttered, Lu Ningxiang told me the same thing, and said to show me something interesting.Poul ghosts are rare, and I have never even heard of them, but here they are indeed in groups, and they are very aggressive, which is even more strange.

After a pause, lightning flashed in my mind, and I thought of the Wu Clan.

The witch clan is a sub-divine clan. According to legend, it was transformed by the soul of the great god Pangu after his death. There were twelve ancestors in total, and they were the twelve ancestor witches.

Since it is soul essence, is it possible that this kind of thing is related to the witch clan?
After the great changes in the world began, various races began to appear in the world one after another, such as the dragon race, the spirit race, the Shura race, and the monster race.

However, there has been no news about the Wu Clan; the Wuxie that were wiped out in Western Xinjiang last time were only the descendants of the Wu Clan and other races, not the real Wu Clan.

The appearance of this kind of soul ghost might be a monster created by the witch clan.If this is the case, is it because the Wu Clan is hiding in Savage Mountain?
They retreated to the edge of the eastern soil and hid, because in the barbaric era, the Savage Mountain was even more deserted.The reason why the Wu clan was suspected of being traitors to a large extent because of the fact that the Gonggong head could not touch Zhoushan Mountain and caused a catastrophe was that they were hunted down by the Heavenly Court and had to hide from the world.

"What's wrong?" Huang Mao asked hastily when he saw that my expression was different.

So I hastily expressed my thoughts and said: "Since the witch clan is basically transformed by the soul, it is not surprising that they are good at this."

Huang Mao nodded and said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Nine out of ten witch clans still exist, and they have not died out. The world has changed drastically, and they must be able to sense it."

I nodded.

Afterwards we discussed a few more words and returned to the camp.

No matter what the road ahead is, just go in and have a look. These ghosts have nothing to do with us, the soldiers come to block the water and cover them with soil.

After resting in the camp for a while, the sky dawned, and it started to rain again, but fortunately it was not heavy. We trekked in the rain and continued towards Savage Mountain.

I was wasting time all the way, so I must hurry up, otherwise I would miss the time agreed by Lu Ningxiang.

……

We were lucky today, it didn't rain much, it was either sunny or light rain, we had advanced for a full sixty miles, and Savage Mountain was far in sight.

In the evening, the weather rebounded retaliatoryly, the rain was pouring, the surrounding fields were vast, and the visibility was extremely poor. Only at the moment of lightning and thunder could the field of vision be extended.

We huddled on a dead stake, sprinkled realgar, and prepared to spend the night. The rain might last all night, but fortunately there was no wind.

"How can there be such a ghostly place in this world?" Cao Nan complained, he was so excited to follow me before, this would have kicked him out a long time ago.

It's really too uncomfortable, it's hard to describe, it's uncomfortable everywhere, and we are still cultivators. If we were ordinary people, we would go crazy if we didn't die.

After a pause, he said again: "Maybe, Savage Mountain is really the hiding place of the Wu Clan. Isn't that Gonggong the water god? Seeing the pouring rain, they were summoned by them."

I was slightly taken aback, this association is not unreasonable; Gong Gong, one of the last ancestor witches of the witch clan, was indeed conferred the god of water in the fairy court era, and it is no problem to call wind and rain.

Just as he was about to say something, a thunder suddenly exploded and landed in the distant sky, turning the heavy rain into day.

I was horrified to find that a figure wearing a bamboo hat was standing more than 20 meters away from us, standing there quietly, staring at us.

The distance is very close, so close that I feel hairy all over my body! !
"Who?!"

I shouted instinctively, regardless of whether he is a man or a ghost, he should not be underestimated, because he was able to approach such a close place silently.

"Fuck!"

"what's the situation?"

"..."

Everyone was taken aback and rushed to guard.

I pointed to that location, "There is a person standing there, 20 meters away, wearing a bamboo hat."

Everyone looked there, their eyes wide open, but they couldn't see through the dark and white night.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew from that direction, carrying a fishy and salty smell.

I was surprised in vain, it was the person recorded in the diary, saying that he was very strange and had a fishy smell on his body.

Huangmao and I looked at each other, their faces changed slightly, obviously they also smelled it.
