Overlord of the Phantom of the Elves

Led by the wild ghost stone, Chen Mu and Soraya continued to head deeper into the jungle.

After having a local guide, their exploration progress was significantly accelerated, and they moved in one direction with a clear goal, eliminating a lot of confusion and detours.

From this perspective, the sudden appearance of Ghost Stone was even a blessing for Chen Mu and Soraya.

After walking for a few more minutes, the vision in front of them suddenly became brighter.

At this time, they were standing on the top of a gentle slope. In front of them was a depression in the forest. They were walking down the gentle slope. The vertical drop between the top of the slope and the depression below was about three or four meters.

This depression is quite large, and at first glance, there are not a single big tree in the depression. There are only some low shrubs and weeds, and a large number of complete or broken stone tablets scattered among them.

"Are these all tombstones? Anderson said this was once a mass grave. It seems that he was not lying."

Chen Mu whispered to himself while squinting his eyes at the top of the slope to observe the environment below.

The reason why I had to squint my eyes was because the fog in the forest became even bigger after arriving here.

Fortunately, it's not dark yet, otherwise the place would be filled with thick fog, dark moon, and high winds, and would be surrounded by tombstones and ghosts. Not to mention searching for materials, a person with a poor mental quality would probably have weak legs here.

After standing on the top of the slope and observing for a long time, Chen Mu still couldn't see much clearly.

"It's almost dark, so we have no choice but to take a risk."

It's just that at this time, Ghost Stone, who had brought them all the way, was unwilling to go any further.

"Huhu!"

"Gah..."

No matter how Zoroa exposed his little tiger fangs and threatened him in every possible way, Ghost Stone lay still.

There is a small quilt under the bridge, and everything you say is correct...

Soraya was so angry that he was furious.

"What did he say?"

Chen Mu asked curiously while stroking Soraya's hair.

"Huhu!"

Chen Mu, who was level [-] in Fox Language, understood it immediately.

"Ghost Stone said that there is danger ahead? Oh, how can he, a ghost, be more timid than me?"

Ghost Stone didn't want to speak and rolled his eyes at Chen Mu.

"Confirm with him whether the Soul-Destroying Grass is really down there."

After receiving the order, Zoroa showed his small fangs towards Ghost Stone again.

This time Ghost Stone nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, let's let him go first. Remember the smell on his body. If there is no harvest this time, we will kill him when we come back!"

Soraya faithfully conveyed Chen Mu's greetings. The frightened Ghost Stone couldn't help but tremble three more times, and looked at Chen Mu with eyes full of resentment.

Damn it, which one of us is more like an evil spirit? !

Saying goodbye to the cowardly ghost Stone, Chen Mu led Soraya down the gentle slope carefully.

As soon as they reached the depression below, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the bushes in front of them.

"Hu!"

Fortunately, Soraya reacted quickly and immediately jumped from Chen Mu's feet, directly intercepting the incoming black shadow with a claw in the air.

The black shadow broke into two pieces and fell to the ground, emitting a fishy smell.

is a snake.

It's not an elf, it's just an ordinary snake, but from the smell, it's probably poisonous in its mouth.

In the real world, there cannot be only elves in a complete ecosystem. In addition to elves, there are also ordinary animals in this world, such as snakes, birds, fish, shrimps, insects, and beasts. They are not much different from those on Blue Star, except for lions, tigers, and leopards. There is no such thing as a large beast of prey.

Because the most upstream position in the food chain always belongs to the elves, ordinary animals are not qualified to compete at all.

The scene just now was quite dangerous, but fortunately Soraya reacted quickly.

"Phew-thank you, little one."

After exhaling fearfully, Chen Mu reached out and touched the soft hair on Zoroa's head to show his gratitude.

The little guy wagged his tail happily.

However, after calming down, Chen Mu couldn't help but have doubts.

"Are all the snakes here so aggressive?"

It's a pity that in his previous life, he was just a Pokémon UP master, not a UP that studied reptiles. He couldn't identify the species of snake when he looked at the corpse. After sighing, he could only give up for now and remind himself to be more careful in the future.

One person and one fox, who were eager to find the soul-breaking grass before dark, thought it was just an episode.

However, this seems to have foreshadowed the dangers of the next trip.

……

Ten minutes later, I heard a muffled "puff" sound.

Chen Mu used a knife to kill a wild Rattata that was severely injured by Zoroa's claws.

As the exploration deepened, Chen Mu's expression was no longer as relaxed as it was at the beginning, and became extremely solemn.

"Something's wrong! The creatures here are too aggressive!"

For more than ten minutes, they moved laterally along the gentle slope. So far, they had only searched a small area near the edge of the depression, and they did not dare to go deep.

As a result, in the past ten minutes, one person and one fox had encountered several sudden attacks one after another.

From the venomous snakes we encountered when we first descended the gentle slope, to the wild spearfinch and wild rattada later on, these creatures in the mist seemed to be manic, and would attack desperately as soon as something approached.

Even after the Rattata was seriously injured just now, it was still squeaking and biting like crazy.

Chen Mu was forced to press down the blade, which resulted in the life of the little rat.

It's true that he likes elves, but he won't be soft when it's time to take action.

Rattata's hind legs twitched twice for the last time, and finally became quiet and motionless.

Zoroa immediately stepped forward, approached Little Radha's body, took a big breath, sucked out a cloud of gray mist from Little Radha's body, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

Ghosts all feed on souls.

Soraya is naturally no exception.

The overflowing spirit cannot be wasted.

But after swallowing this mouthful, Zoroa frowned soon after.

"Huhu!"

Chen Mu once again displayed his level [-] understanding of Fox Language.

"You said there is a stench in this soul? Ha, it seems there is indeed something wrong with this place. I know that old fox Anderson has no good intentions."

Although there is currently no direct evidence proving that Anderson is related to the mutation here, based on years of experience, Chen Mu is [-]% sure that Anderson must know something, but he just didn't tell himself.

"Ah!"

He sneered, half self-deprecating and half sarcastic.

Having been around Xiacheng District for a long time, Chen Mu has long been used to this kind of thing.

"Be careful next, Zoroa. If these spirits don't work, don't eat them yet."

Having already come to this point, Chen Mu naturally could not give up halfway at this time, so he could only remind Soroa to be more careful.

"Hu!"

Soraya nodded in agreement very sensibly and was not greedy at all.

Then they continued to move forward cautiously in the thick fog.

It wasn't until he came near an overturned tombstone that Chen Mu finally spotted several dark purple herbaceous plants in the cracks between the gravel.

"That's it! Great, we found it!"

As a result, as soon as Chen Mu took two steps forward, Soraya suddenly exploded.

"Hu!!"

The surrounding fog suddenly became thicker.

Then many pairs of blood-red eyes opened in the thick fog!

There is one ahead!

There is one on the side!

There’s one in the back too!

In just a moment, Chen Mu was so stimulated that the hairs on the back of his hands stood up!

"Damn, I'm surrounded by ghosts!"
