Lonely Immortal

Chapter 149: Another Crossroads

Zhang Zhiwen looked for a while, and saw that there was no other change in the wall and soil. He gradually came back to his senses. It was not that he was timid, but he had never seen such a strange thing. Although he had lived in the wild for many years, and even stayed overnight in a grave, this was the first time he had seen such a situation.

However, Zhang Zhiwen had a general guess. Although there should be no danger here, the two people on the ground should be trapped in this place. But when were they trapped? Why were they trapped? Even caused one of them to eat the other.

Zhang Zhiwen walked back and thought carefully. Soon, he had a guess, that is, the exit portal of the beast tomb should also be random and uncertain. This possibility is very high, otherwise how could the two people on the ground not go out? Another thing is that the two people were obviously trapped here, otherwise they would not have attacked the wall and tried to dig it open, but it was useless in the end. Zhang Zhiwen's cultivation level could not break the wall, and the two of them were probably even more impossible, so they died here in the end, and one of them should have died first, and the latter had no choice but to survive for a while by using his companion's flesh, because there was no trace of the two fighting here.

In addition, the two had nothing around them, that is, everything that could be corroded had been corroded, like spiritual tools that were difficult to corrode, that was not there, so the identities of the two also surfaced, that is, ordinary casual cultivators, not followers of the four major family children.

Ordinary casual cultivators, with low cultivation, mistakenly entered the land of beast tombs, and then they were afraid, so they did not dare to run around, so they hid here, thinking that they could wait for the opportunity to go out by hiding, but the reality was cruel, and they did not wait for the day to go out.

This gave Zhang Zhiwen a warning, that is, he should not think of hiding here and waiting for the day when the exit of the Beast Tomb Land is opened. That is impossible, and Zhang Zhiwen guessed that if the exit of the Beast Tomb Land is opened, the portal must be closer to the core, anyway, it is definitely not this kind of peripheral area.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen has no choice. If he can be more comfortable, then he naturally does not need to take risks, but now this method seems to be unworkable, and he is lucky to see two corpses in this place, otherwise he may not escape the fate of being trapped to death. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwen is also scared for a while. If he is trapped to death here, it is simply too unfair to die.

But why is this Beast Tomb Land like this? This is the most important question, right? Anyway, there are too many mysteries in the Beast Tomb Land, and Zhang Zhiwen has no clue at all. And Zhang Zhiwen also knows that random guesses are useless, and he can't guess blindly. There is no way, now he can only take one step at a time.

So, Zhang Zhiwen turned back and returned to the crossroads again. The corpse of the wild boar monster was still lying on the ground. The corpse decayed very quickly. It had not been long since it had decayed a lot more. The stench drifted along the intersection to the four forks. No wonder Zhang Zhiwen smelled the stench from a long distance when he came in. He felt like he had entered a mass grave of monsters.

Thinking of the mass grave, Zhang Zhiwen was quite familiar with it. He had been there before. At that time, he was really desperate, so he went to the mass grave. His purpose was to hunt some wild dogs that came to eat the corpses. Although it was a little dangerous, it was better than starving to death. Moreover, most of the wild dogs that came to eat the corpses were much less vigilant. After all, there were corpses everywhere. Zhang Zhiwen could also disguise himself as a corpse, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack the lone wild dogs. Basically, the harvest was still good.

For a moment, Zhang Zhiwen seemed to feel something. Could this beast grave also be a mass grave? Is it also a long-planned hunt? And the targets of the hunt are these casual cultivators who came in? Because these casual cultivators are like wild dogs, but who is the pretender? Those big ants? Or something else?

If so, Zhang Zhiwen must be more careful, because this kind of place is definitely extremely dangerous, especially now it is not clear what is hunting them, and Zhang Zhiwen will not think that he can run rampant here just because he is a cultivator of the seventh level of Qi Refining. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen very cautiously chose a fork in the road and walked in, and then walked forward little by little.

This time, Zhang Zhiwen walked for a while and saw another crossroads, and there was a monster corpse at the crossroads. This is the second time Zhang Zhiwen has seen a monster corpse at a crossroads. He thinks this is definitely not a coincidence. It seems that this kind of crossroads will have a monster corpse. From a distance, Zhang Zhiwen saw the general appearance of the monster. This is a two-headed wolf monster corpse, the size of a hill, and the cultivation level has obviously reached the fifth level of Qi Refining!

Zhang Zhiwen knew clearly that the direction he was heading this time was correct, and he should be heading towards the core area of ​​the Beast Tomb. But with the experience of the previous few times, Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry to go there this time. He felt that the corpse seemed to be a bait, and this place seemed to be a trap. Of course, Zhang Zhiwen did not have any evidence, but no matter whether his guess was right or not, there was no need for him to take the risk. Therefore, he restrained his magic restrictions, restored his cultivation, and then hid in the dark and lay dormant.

The two-headed wolf corpse lay quietly at the crossroads, emitting a faint light. This two-headed wolf should have died not long ago. Anyway, there was no stench from a distance. However, this fifth-level Qi Refining monster was full of treasures. Its beast pill was fifth-level, and its fur, teeth, claws, and even internal organs and bones were all good materials. If this thing appeared in the wild, it would be fought over by a large group of casual cultivators. But here, it lay quietly on the ground, and no one cared about it.

However, Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry. He was patient. At least he wanted to figure out what was going on. Therefore, after he waited patiently for two or three hours, there was finally a movement in one of the forks. It seemed that someone was coming, but the footsteps did not sound like one person, but several.

Sure enough, soon Zhang Zhiwen saw three casual cultivators appear at the crossroads. These three casual cultivators were all at the third level of Qi Refining. Of course, I don’t know if any of them suppressed their cultivation. On the surface, they were at the third level of Qi Refining, and they all carried spiritual weapons. Although they were all low-level spiritual weapons, they were obviously followers of the children of the four major families, because casual cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining generally cannot afford spiritual weapons. However, it cannot be ruled out that these three people killed some family followers to obtain spiritual weapons.

The three casual cultivators came to the two-headed wolf's corpse. They looked around for a long time and made sure that there was no one around. Then they began to dismember the corpse. They were very skilled. They took the spirit sword and spirit knife and scratched it. In a few strokes, they broke the belly of the corpse. The scene was naturally quite bloody, but Zhang Zhiwen didn't think anything of it. Killing pigs and cows was similar to this. However, Zhang Zhiwen suddenly narrowed his eyes because he saw that the two-headed wolf, which had been dead for a long time, actually opened its eyes, and those eyes actually emitted a strange and dark red light. However, the three casual cultivators who were busy cleaning up the corpse didn't notice anything. Even from their expressions, it can be seen that they were quite excited. After all, this was a fifth-level Qi Refining monster. It was absolutely difficult for them to kill it at ordinary times. But here, it was delivered to their doorstep. And this level of monster materials did not need to be handed over to the four major families. Everything that could be divided belonged to them.

However, they were completely unaware that death seemed to have already befallen them. Sure enough, although the two-headed wolf was dead, it opened its eyes and immediately bit one of the casual cultivators. The casual cultivator was caught off guard and had his head bitten off by the two-headed wolf. Blood spurted out, spraying blood all over his companion's face and body. The two companions were almost stunned at the same time, looking at the huge two-headed wolf's head in front of them in shock and fear. But what was waiting for them was that the two-headed wolf opened its mouth and sprayed out a large group of giant wind blades. The wind blades swept across and instantly split the bodies of the three casual cultivators in front of them into dozens of pieces. For a moment, the broken limbs and arms flew everywhere, and blood was also spilled all over the ground. The three casual cultivators were killed in this place before they could even scream.

Zhang Zhiwen obviously did not expect this situation. This long-dead monster could be resurrected strangely. However, soon, the two-headed wolf slowly fell down, and the strange eyes slowly closed again, as if nothing had happened just now. Except for the corpses of the scattered cultivators left in this place, it was really impossible to believe that this was true.

However, something even more strange happened. The ground slowly overflowed with yellow-brown liquid. These liquids seemed to have life and quickly gathered towards the corpses of the scattered cultivators. Not long after, these corpses were swallowed by the yellow liquid, and then a piercing sound of sizzling was made, as if the corpses were corroded by some strong venom, and bursts of white mist also emerged. However, the whole process was extremely fast. In less than a cup of tea, the yellow-brown liquid slowly seeped into the ground again, and the corpses that should have been on the ground had no bones left, only three low-level spiritual weapons were scattered on the ground.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhiwen remembered that he had picked up a spiritual sword before, which seemed to be very similar to the current situation. He understood a little in his heart that there was nothing in this beast grave land except the big ant, and the beast grave land itself seemed to be a man-eating monster, but he was just guessing.

However, Zhang Zhiwen still did not move, because he did not know what would happen next. He had picked up a spiritual weapon before and nothing happened, but he did not know that this place was so dangerous, and that was the situation after the casual cultivator was eaten by the big ant. This was not the case now, so Zhang Zhiwen did not move and continued to lie dormant.

Time passed by bit by bit, and the body of the two-headed wolf did not move, as if it had been dead for a long time, and except for the three more spiritual weapons on the ground, it seemed that ordinary people could not see anything wrong.

But Zhang Zhiwen still did not move. He was patient. Therefore, another two hours passed, and there was still no movement from the two-headed wolf's body. Zhang Zhiwen felt that it was about time and he could go over to check out the situation. But at this moment, a burst of light suddenly came from a fork in the road, and then he saw a casual cultivator walking towards the intersection step by step. This person was actually a casual cultivator who was hiding his cultivation level. It was just that it was unclear what his real cultivation level was, because he had a magic restriction at the moment and was emitting light. On the surface, he was naturally at the third level of Qi Refining.
