Chapter 161: The Terror of the Deep Mountains

er of dark magic... were all consumed by the flames, burning away rapidly.The fire spread at an extremely fast rate.At this time, the once dark and silent dark forest became a sea of fire, with crackl...At the sound of the scream, Fang Yu turned his head.

"What's wrong What's wrong!" Zhongyuan asked loudly, his voice filled with anxiety.

At this point, the fog was so thick that it obscured everything beyond a meter's distance.

"Six, Sixth Elder...ah..." Zhongli Yuyu's voice trembled, clearly terrified to the extreme.

Before she could finish speaking, there were screams again.

At this time, Fang Yu could see a figure leaning against Zhongli Yu.

On closer inspection, Fang Yu's face changed slightly.

It turned out to be a dry corpse!

A corpse, leaned against Zhongli's jade!

Judging by the attire, this corpse belongs to one of the four elders of the Zhong family!

"Miss… this is… the Sixth Elder" The other three elders also noticed the corpse leaning against Zhongli Yu.

"Please get it off me..." Zhongli trembled, his voice barely a whisper.

A elder's face darkened, he reached out and slapped the corpse with his true qi, shattering it apart.

"Bang!"

The corpse lay on the ground.

Fang Yu walked forward, squatted down, and observed carefully.

The flesh was completely withered, the eyeballs sunken...a complete desiccated corpse.

“How could this be How did the Sixth Elder suddenly…” The other three elders stared at the corpse on the ground, their eyes bloodshot and their faces ashen.

They never expected that a good person, and even a master-level expert, would just quietly turn into a corpse!

"How did you discover he had become a corpse" Fang Yu looked at Zhong Liyu, who was still shaken, and asked.

"Sixth, Elder Sixth kept walking beside me, very close. I could see him... but just now he suddenly stopped. I was puzzled, glanced at him, and saw that he... had become like this." Zhongli Yu's face was pale, his voice trembling as he spoke.

That is to say, this seventh elder had turned into a desiccated corpse in an extremely short period of time.

This is very strange.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, observing the corpse with a flicker of something in his gaze.

To instantly turn a living person into a corpse, some kind of sorcery must have been used.

But Fang Yu was just walking ahead, not far away, and he didn't notice anything at all.

How was it done Fang Yu thought.

But he didn't think too long, then stood up and said to the Zhong siblings, "Keep going forward."

At this moment, the Zhong siblings were terrified.

Having just entered Baichuan Mountain, they had already lost an elder in such a strange way.

"Fang, Master Fang, what's in here" Zhongyuan looked at Fang Yu and asked.

Fang Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet. We'll know if we keep going forward."

As he said that, Fang Yu continued walking forward.

John and Mary looked at each other, both seeing the fear in each other's eyes.

But seeing Fang Yu walk forward, they could only grit their teeth and follow.

Thus, the group continued to venture deeper into White River Mountain.

Fang Yu walked, sensing the changes around him.

Now he could at least be certain that Mount Hakusawa was no ordinary mountain.

Zhong Yuan's heart was filled with anxiety. He was afraid that as he walked, he would suddenly turn into a dry corpse.

As the eldest son of the Zhong family, he rarely faced such danger.

“I wish I hadn't come in!” Zhong Yuan regretted it deeply.

Now, every step he takes is filled with trepidation, fear gnawing at him.

"Click!"

Just then, Zhong Yuan suddenly stepped on something, making a crisp sound.

Zhong Yuan's face changed, he slowly looked down, and then let out a scream, his face turning pale.

He stepped on a skull!

"What's wrong again"

Ahead, Fang Yu's voice came.

"I, I stepped on a skull…" Zhongyuan said.

Fang Yu stopped his steps and saw Zhong Yuan looked like he had been frightened out of his wits. He frowned and said, "Isn't it just a skull Why are you so scared"

Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, Zhong Yuan felt a pang of shame.

He's the future head of the renowned martial arts family, the Zhong clan. To see him react like a little girl upon stepping on a skull is truly embarrassing; his fear is completely out of place.

But he still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart!

After seeing Elder Six inexplicably turn into a desiccated corpse, he became increasingly anxious.

"Just keep going, don't make such a fuss," Fang Yu said.

……

We walked for another half hour, and nothing else happened.

The fog began to thin slightly.

Fang Yu knew this meant they may have already entered the depths of Mount Baekcheon.

The mountain road became increasingly rugged and difficult to navigate.

And along the way, I saw several corpses, but heard no sound.

The previous village head said that many martial artists have already entered White River Mountain.

If the village chief wasn't lying, then those warriors... would most likely be dead. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a sound to hear.

Just at this moment, Fang Yu suddenly sensed a strange aura.

Very subtle and obscure, but still caught by Fang Yu!

"Clack!"

At the same time, a crash came from behind, as if something had fallen to the ground.

"Eight Elder!"

"Lao Ba!"

An exclamation rang out from behind.

Fan Yu turned around and saw a figure lying on the ground.

An elderly man with a clock approached and flipped the body over.

Another corpse!

Upon seeing the corpse, Zhong Yuan and Zhong Liyu's faces turned ashen.

The unknown horror is especially terrifying!

Especially the two deceased elders, both of whom were masters at the Grandmaster realm, were top-tier powerhouses in Jiangnan!

But they died silently, without even a cry.

What exactly is the other party...

"There's a curse, there really is!" Zhong Yuan remembered the village chief's words, his eyes bloodshot.

As he walked, the silence around him grew heavier. The deeper he went, the more oppressive the atmosphere became. Seeing the other corpses along the way pushed him to the brink of collapse.

"We can't go any further!" Zhong Yuan murmured.

Fang Yu looked at the corpse on the ground and glanced around, his eyes cold.

The moment the elder became a mummy, he sensed a presence.

This aura made him feel somewhat familiar.

The aura emanating from the village head I met in the village today is extremely similar!

"Could it be..."

Fang Yu had some leads, but he couldn't come to a conclusion yet.

As far as he could tell, he was still unable to pinpoint the source of the aura.

But actually, these things don't matter.

After entering Baichuan Mountain, Fang Yu's only concern was the Spirit Spring.

He kept walking along the direction of spiritual energy. The deeper he went, the more intense the spiritual energy became.

And now, he stands in a place where spiritual energy is ten times denser than the outside world.

Fang Yu knew that he might soon find the spirit spring.

We still need to walk further.

But when he wanted to move forward, he noticed the Zhong siblings standing still.

"What's wrong" Fang Yu asked.

"Master Fang... we can't go any further. This place is truly cursed! We must not venture deeper. Otherwise, we'll end up like the two elders, turning into mummies!" Zhong Yuan said, his eyes filled with fear.

Zhong Yuan's eyes widened in fear, and he exclaimed loudly, "If even my life is lost, what use would I have for that spirit spring"

"Well, then you guys stay here, and I'll keep going forward." Fang Yu said.

Zhongli's jade face changed.

Although she was afraid, since she had already entered Baichuan Mountain, she definitely had to find the Spirit Spring.

And what could you possibly do by staying here

If a curse truly exists, staying here is pointless; death will come regardless.

Turning back

There was a thick fog behind me, I couldn't see the road at all. How could I possibly leave

"Thinking about this, Zhong Liyu persuaded, “Brother, since we're already in here... let’s continue forward."

"We can't go any further, really we can't…" Zhongyuan seemed to be obsessed, saying.

"So scared, you shouldn't have come in in the first place."

At that moment, a soft, feminine voice came from behind.

This was the first time Fang Yu and his group had heard anyone else's voice since entering Baichuan Mountain.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a group of people walking out of the mist.

It is exactly the team of Han Qi and Chen Luo.

Han Qi and Chen Luo remained calm and collected, unlike Zhong Yuan who showed fear.

Upon seeing Han Qi and the others, Zhong Yuan actually felt a touch of familiarity, his expression softening considerably.

This at least proves that there are still living people in Bai Chuan Mountain.alized."This is a map that I always carry with me. I offer it to Your Highness," Dong Ren said.Fang Yu took the map and unfolded it.The map's content was much more detailed than the one Hong Yaizu had...
