In the blink of an eye, Ji Xinxi realized that what was seeping from the mud at her feet was not water stains but blood, and without even thinking about it, she squeezed the wooden signboard of Qu Ruogong in her hand. She didn't need to speak, Qu Ruogong had already entered. her body.

With a backward leap, Ji Xinxi returned to the bonfire where Xun Nagan was. Xun Nagan, who was warming up by the fire, was putting away the wine bottle when he saw Ji Xinxi come back suddenly, before he had time to ask, he frowned.

Ji Xinxi stood next to Xun Youling who was meditating, and opened his mouth and said, "Master Dao, there is a problem here. Blood started to ooze out of the frozen soil."

Xun Nagan got up immediately, and the fan closed behind him, and the sound of fan bones merging exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

No need for others to explain, the faces of the few people are serious. The camp was empty and could only smell the smell of bonfires and grass, but now the blood-red mist filled the air, and the thick bloody smell mixed with the pungent evil spirit rushed straight into the nostrils. Ordinary people can see that something is wrong here.

Xun Youling approached Ji Xinxi for a few minutes, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Ji Xinxi glanced around, and replied: "I don't know, everything was fine before, but suddenly it became like this."

Xun Youling nodded her head to indicate that she knew, and then she asked with concern: "The evil spirit of blood here is so heavy, can you still bear it?"

Ji Xinxi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that she didn't feel any discomfort this time. Her eyes were slightly dazed, seeing that Wen Lianzhen was already beside her, and Xun Youling saw it, so she stopped asking, but Ji Xinxi lowered her eyes. Cover the complex thoughts in the eyes.

Several people were standing in place, each on guard and not moving around. Xun Nagan waved the fan several times. After the blood mist dispersed, it quickly gathered again, as if it was a continuous stream, so he simply didn't waste that effort.

As the fog became heavier, everyone's sight began to be affected to a certain extent. Several fires lit up in the fog, and a talisman burned in front of Xun Youling and the others, blocking the fog from them.

Xun Youling originally wanted to light another one for Ji Xinxi, but Ji Xinxi shook her head, her vision was still clear and bright, and the blood mist didn't affect her at all.

Ji Xinxi stood among the few people, looking at the other people who were illuminated by the talisman, but she was still in the darkness, as if separated from two worlds, as if she and this weird mist were on the same side of.

Fortunately, Wen Lianzhen was still by her side, but then the other party's complexion became ugly, her crescent eyebrows were slightly frowned, she said sorry in a low voice, and then returned to the wooden sign in Ji Xingxi's pocket.

The blood mist here is mixed with evil spirits, which has a great influence on Yin spirits like Wen Lianzhen, and the opponent's strength has not yet recovered, and they can't squeeze into Ji Xinxi's body when Qu Ruogong is already in the upper body, so they can only go back. Among the wooden signs.

At this moment, a trace of unspeakable emotion surged in Ji Xinxi's heart, and the wronged emotion in his sleep seemed to reappear again. Suddenly, a soft light illuminated half of Ji Xinxi's body, and Xun Youling squeezed Ji Xin sideways. palm of the past.

Ji Xinxi turned her head to look, Xun Youling's eyes were still searching, but she walked a few steps closer, her heart was instantly soothed, and she shook Xun Youling's hand back.

Suddenly there was a small sound in the originally quiet surroundings, as if something had slipped across the ground, everyone bent down slightly, and listened carefully to distinguish the location of the sound.

No one spoke at this time, worrying about disturbing everyone's attention, the sound rang for a while and then fell silent again. Ji Xinxi's eyes were not hindered by the blood mist, but the light of the talisman affected her discrimination.

Ji Xinxi let go of Xun Youling's hand, and took two steps forward out of the range of the light radiation. When she looked straight ahead, her pupils shrank for a while, and she shouted, "Hurry up, get out of the fog!"

When everyone heard this, they reacted very quickly. Xun Youling pulled her back and retreated a few times. The talismans that had stopped in front of everyone shot forward in a uniform manner, and then exploded in mid-air. Xun Nagan waved a folding fan in his hand , expanding the airflow caused by the explosion, and suddenly a large cloud of blood fog in front of several people was blown away.

Before the blood mist gathered again, they saw innumerable thin black shadows swaying in the blood mist, and the hairs of those who watched stood on end.

Those black images were stimulated by the spiritual power inspired by the talisman, and their movements became crazy. There was a sound of piercing the air, breaking through the fog and coming towards everyone. Only then did everyone see the true face of this black shadow, it was actually a black rattan .

These vines were of different sizes, the thick ones were as thick as a forearm, and the thinner ones were as thick as a finger. When they entered this camp before, they did not see so many vines, but now they are surprisingly large in number.

Xun Zuo and Xun You gave a low laugh, and Ji Xinxi noticed that they each held a wooden knife in their hands. They turned their wrists to twist the knife, and when they held it firmly again, the wooden knife flashed coldly, completely changing its appearance.

The two of them, one left and one right, rushed up against the vines in front of them. Their figures shuttled between the vines. He didn't immediately lose his reaction, but twisted and struggled on the ground. The juice flowing out of the fracture was bright red, making the bloody smell around him even stronger.

Xun Zuo and Xun You were chopping vigorously when they suddenly attacked the rattan in front of them, changed direction abruptly, avoided the blades they swung, and started attacking from the side as if consciously.

Xun Zuo let out a light sigh, and greeted Xun You who was not far away, and the two joined together again, back to back to block the opponent's attack from a blind spot.

Seeing this, Xun Ge quickly made seals in his hands, took out a stack of talismans, and waved them towards the sky. The talismans turned into light spots and fell in midair, like golden raindrops.

The golden light spot fell on the rattan, making a "Zi La" sound, and the rattan dodged crazily as if it was in great pain.

Looking at the orderly attack of the three, Ji Xinxi could respond freely even in an unexpected situation, and couldn't help sighing, this is probably the gap in experience.

Xun Nagan frowned and stood on the spot, watching the overwhelming vines without moving. His eyes wandered around inquiringly, and the fan in his hand was constantly changing positions as if it was equipped with an electric motor.

Ji Xinxi, who was observing the situation nervously, suddenly felt a chill behind her back. Her first reaction was to pull Xun Youling to the side, and a vine brushed her shoulder and swung it. The middle went around to their rear, or they were already under attack.

The cane missed the shot, and soon turned around and attacked again. Xun Youling subconsciously reached out to block it. She grabbed the cane and split the cane in two with a swing of the copper coin sword. She raised her eyebrows and let go of the cane in her hand.

Ji Xinxi stood firm and saw blood oozing from Xun Youling's palm. Xun Youling shook his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I didn't expect these vines to have barbs. I scratched a few small thorns with my bare hands. Mouth."

Hearing this, Ji Xinxi lowered his eyebrows and looked at the rattan on the ground, and found that the rattan was still stained with Xun Youling's blood, but the dancing rattans around them suddenly changed their movements and frantically rushed towards Ji Xinxi and the others. Come.

Before the two could react, a light blade slashed fiercely on the gathered vines, and Xun Nagan shouted: "Be careful not to get hurt, these ghost vines are bloodthirsty and will chase after the smell of blood."

Xun Ge raised his head and asked, "Master, you said these are ghost vines? Are there too many?"

Xun Nagan nodded and replied, "No mistake, it's ghost vines. This number is truly inhumane."

Ji Xinxi didn't know what the ghost vine was, but she knew it was difficult to deal with just by hearing the name. She had no time to ask, because at this moment, the ghost vine was frantically heading towards this side because of the bloody smell from the small wound on Xun Youling's palm. Come on, they don't have as much leeway as before.

Caught off guard, a rattan wrapped around Ji Xinxi's ankle. Without thinking too much, she subconsciously raised her hand to pull it. Then, remembering Xun Nagan's request, she thought to herself: No good.

But unexpectedly, the rattan was easily torn off by her, and although her palm was scratched, the rattan did not suck her blood, instead, a lot of resentment flowed from the rattan's fractured mouth into her body.

The rattan quickly withered in Ji Xinxi's hands, and then a shrill cry sounded, and a flash of light flashed in Ji Xinxi's mind, and she grabbed the withered rattan and quickly searched for its root.

Her movements were nimble, and after a few dodges and leaps, she followed the vines and came to a tree. The tree, which was tall and straight during the day, was twisted into an extremely ugly appearance at this moment. Ji Xinxi walked around the trunk for a while. Circled, and suddenly found that the grain of a certain part of the trunk looked like a distorted human face.

That face was clearly discernible, as if it was about to come alive in the next second.

The expression on that face seemed to be experiencing something of extreme fear, struggling to escape from the tree trunk, Xun Youling followed Ji Xinxi to her side, and blocked the ghost vines around her for her.

Ji Xinxi bit her lip, took out the dagger in her backpack and stabbed it at the pattern on the face. A strong resentment rushed to her face, engulfed her in an instant, and poured all of it into her body.

There was another scream, even more miserable than the one just now, and then the vines waving around the tree drooped and struggled a few times on the ground and stopped moving.

Seeing this change, Xun Youling said in surprise: "The ghost vine is a tree nourished by the spirit body, and it has a lot of resentment. If it can't be destroyed and the resentment in it can't be eliminated at the same time, it can't be completely eliminated. It's extremely troublesome to deal with. Xixi, did you suck it up?"

Ji Xinxi nodded, thinking that this must be what Xun Youling said. Thinking of this, they returned to Xun Nagan's side and told the other party about this discovery.

Xun Nagan heard the words, and asked hesitantly: "There are a lot of ghost vines here, so you can imagine how severe the resentment is. So much resentment, girl Ji, have you thought it through clearly, can you really bear it?"

Ji Xixi nodded immediately, and replied: "No matter how many there are, there are no more than Feng Moxuan's tomb. I was in that tomb at the time, and I was able to do well, so it's not a problem for anyone who wants to come here."

Xun Youling scratched her hair anxiously, wondering whether she should agree with Ji Xinxi's decision, Ji Xinxi grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Trust me, just like I trust you."

Looking at Ji Xinxi in front of him, Xun Youling nodded solemnly without hesitation.

At this point, Xun Nagan, who was still thinking about how to deal with the ghost vine, took a step forward, called Xun Zuo Xunyou back, and said to Ji Xinxi, "Get ready, girl Ji."
