Chapter 493 The Strange Black Hand
Although the other gray disciples did not say anything, their expressions were not very good.
Although they were mentally prepared, the danger of the Luoxian Forbidden Land still exceeded their imagination.
Looking around, there was black fog everywhere. Although the strange fog was as thin as smoke, it was everywhere, covering all areas within a radius of 100 miles.
The air here is filled with a deathly aura that is so thick that it is almost impossible to dispel.
The source of the deathly aura comes from that forbidden area.
"Why has the black fog become thicker?" An old man with a powerful aura frowned. The last time he came to investigate, the deathly aura here was clearly not this thick.
"Let's go in and take a look." Although Liu Hua also felt scared, he did not intend to retreat.
The inheritance of the immortals is breathtaking. In his lineage, many geniuses and strong men have been killed or injured in the attempt to explore this Jedi. If they retreat now, the loss will be too great.
"Remember, don't try to be brave. When you encounter danger, let the Gray Disciple take the lead. You must evacuate immediately. I will meet you at the door!" A silver-haired old man warned.
The Luoxian Forbidden Land is shrouded in an extremely terrifying law. No one above the King Realm can enter, so they can only guard the door.
"I understand." Liu Hua nodded.
Many of the Gray Disciples turned pale. Asking them to go first when encountering danger clearly meant that they were willing to sacrifice their lives to prevent disaster!
But now they are in a tiger's mouth and have no other choice but to go ahead.
Soon, Liu Hua led a group of people to the entrance of the forbidden area. They stood in front of a light gate that was constantly steaming, took a look, and then went in.
In the swirling black fog, Liu Hua's figure disappeared instantly.
"You go in first." Several Tiger Immortal Sect masters pointed indifferently at the light gate in front of them, signaling the gray disciples to go first.
The faces of the Gray Disciples turned pale and they stood there in a daze, no one dared to be the first to go forward.
"You, go first." A master from the Tiger Immortal Sect looked at Xiao Chen and said in a commanding tone.
Xiao Chen glanced at the man, then walked to the light door calmly and walked in through the door, imitating Liu Hua's behavior.
There was no trace of fear on Xiao Chen's face, which formed a sharp contrast with the other panicked disciples.
Several Tiger Immortal Sect masters were slightly surprised.
Was this the young man who had nearly been spotted by the Ninth Elder and had nearly set foot on the road to fame? Apart from anything else, his unwavering composure, even in the face of a mountain of collapse, far surpassed his peers.
However, once he entered the forbidden area and became a disciple, no matter how talented he was, he would die.
Soon, all the people in the group entered the light gate, while the ferocious beasts remained outside the gate because they could not practice the Demon-Shocking Sutra and could not resist the death energy.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was a gray world filled with gray fog and no sunlight.
This is an ancient forest, with towering trees and strange spiritual plants everywhere. However, they are all filled with gray-black deathly aura, and their bodies are black, even the leaves are gray-black. They are emitting strange black smoke, and there is no sign of life.
Some ancient trees were surrounded by black runes, circling in the void.
"It's so cold."
"My body is numb!"
Once inside the forbidden area, the concentration of death energy was more than ten times higher than outside. Some of the weaker disciples began to be invaded by the death energy. Gray spots appeared on their faces, their eyes began to be filled with black energy, their bodies became cold, and they felt their vitality rapidly fading away.
"Damn it, this black fog is so scary, I feel like I can't breathe." Qian Bandai, who came in through the back door, looked pale in an instant.
Even some powerful warriors from the Tiger Immortal Sect with unfathomable magical powers had their faces slightly changed and felt cold all over when they were contaminated by the black fog.
The only one who was not affected too much was Xiao Chen.
A layer of faint blood-colored ripples spread across his body, easily blocking out the deathly energy. Some of the black mist was even melted directly by his energy and blood power, dissipating silently.
"Quickly practice the Demon-Shocking Sutra." A powerful man from the Tiger Immortal Sect shouted coldly, pinched seals with his hands, his fingertips glowed, and he began to use golden light to disperse the nearby black fog.
As everyone practiced the Demon-Shaking Sutra, golden light began to appear on their bodies, and the black fog was driven away. The gray spots on everyone's faces gradually faded.
However, the thickness of the golden light on each person's body is different. Liu Hua and the masters of the Tiger Immortal Sect can both reach three or four inches, while most of the gray disciples who came to cram for the exam two days ago can only reach half an inch, and the outstanding ones can only reach one inch.
Those with weak Dao Light will still be eroded by the death energy, but the impact has been greatly weakened.
As for Xiao Chen, in order to test the Martial God Body's ability to resist disasters, no golden light appeared on his body surface at all.
Liu Hua and a group of Tiger Immortal Sect warriors glanced at Xiao Chen, their brows slightly furrowed. In two days, he hadn't cultivated any Dao light at all. What kind of enlightenment was this?
However, since they had already entered the forbidden area, Xiao Chen would soon become cannon fodder, and no one would say anything.
"Legend has it that the Forbidden Land of Luoxian is where immortals fall, and there are curses and dangerous formations hidden everywhere. If you don't want to die, practice the Demon Shocking Sutra in full force!" A master from the Tiger Immortal Sect shouted coldly.
Afterwards, this Tiger Immortal Sect master divided a group of gray disciples into five groups, and led by Liu Hua and others, they dispersed into the Luoxian Ancient Forest to search for the immortal inheritance.
Xiao Chen, Qian Bandai and two other weaker gray disciples were divided into a group, led by a middle-aged man in black armor, and explored the eastern area.
"That damn Liu Qian really holds a grudge. A few days ago, I got drunk and accidentally told him about his past scandals, and today he's taking revenge on me by stuffing four pieces of trash into my hands!"
The middle-aged man in black armor gritted his teeth. Among so many gray disciples, the four assigned to him were the ones with the lowest cultivation, all of them were at the seventh level of the general realm.
He didn't believe that this wasn't Liu Qian's deliberate revenge.
But the other party's strength and status were higher than his, so he could only swallow his anger silently.
Soon, he led Xiao Chen and others towards the designated area.
The ancient forest was filled with black fog.
Everywhere around were ancient trees and spiritual plants as black as ink, shining with a dark glow, and extremely strange.
Everything here is gray and black.
The earth was dark, the fog was thick, and even the fallen leaves on the ground were all pitch black.
A gray disciple was assigned to walk in front to explore the way, while Xiao Chen and the other two followed behind the middle-aged man, waiting to take over the position of the young gray disciple in front after he died.
A layer of brilliant golden light emanated from everyone, driving away the black fog.
In order not to appear special, Xiao Chen also began to activate the Demon Shocking Sutra, and an inch of golden light appeared on his body surface.
With his current understanding of the Demon-Shocking Sutra, he could easily radiate five-inch thick golden light all around, but there was no need. His martial god body had extremely strong resistance to the fog in this dark ancient forest, and he would remain safe even without using the Demon-Shocking Sutra.
"what!"
The gray disciple who was in charge of exploring the way suddenly let out a scream.
A black light hand suddenly stretched out from the ground and dragged the right foot into the ground.
Everyone's faces suddenly changed. They had been paying attention to the feet of the pathfinder, and there was clearly nothing in front of them.
But when the pathfinder stepped on the ground, a strange black rune suddenly appeared. Then, black light spread, and a terrifying black hand stretched out from the ground and grabbed the pathfinder's right foot.
"Idiot, why are you screaming? Why don't you practice the Demon Shocking Sutra?" The middle-aged man in black armor shouted, but he had no intention of going forward to rescue him.
