Chapter 1584 Nightmare Beast
Looking at these people, Gu Sen shook his head slightly.
Too many wolves and too little meat.
Moreover, he did not believe that these people could solve Gu Lingyun.
Because, in his opinion, even if they defeated Gu Lingyun, Chen Xuan might not be able to solve him, so in the end, they couldn't get Gu Lingyun's points.
He suddenly felt a little sour. Why hadn't he found such a powerful follower as Chen Xuan? That was simply an invincible position!
At this very moment!
Upon first entering Corpse Ghost Ridge, the scenery was still like a bird's song and fragrant flowers. However, after walking less than two kilometers, the surrounding environment changed drastically. It was filled with ghostly energy, swirling mist, and blurred vision. kanshu.net
Withered trees, rocky shores, carcasses of wild beasts, and even flying beasts soared through the mist.
Even the small river had turned blood-red, emitting a strong腥味.
Gu Lingyun, who had intended to take a drink, directly spat it out.
"Chen Xuan, why don't we retreat first?"
Gu Lingyun couldn't help but say.
"Scared?"
"Who's scared? How could I be scared? I just feel that this place is too abnormal!"
Gu Lingyun absolutely couldn't admit to being scared, so he held his head high.
"Look there... why is there a figure..."
Suddenly, Chen Xuan's voice rang out, startling Gu Lingyun, who almost jumped up. With a "whoosh," he hid behind Chen Xuan: "Where? Where?"
"It's gone!"
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.
With your cowardly demeanor, you still say you're not scared?
Seeing Chen Xuan's gaze and the way he was tightly gripping Chen Xuan's clothes, Gu Lingyun couldn't help but clear his throat: "Cough, cough..."
"Let's go, it's no big deal."
Chen Xuan walked into the mist, and Gu Lingyun quickly followed. He didn't dare to walk alone.
After walking an unknown distance, Gu Lingyun suddenly said, "Is that a tent over there?"
Chen Xuan looked up: "It really looks like a tent. Could there be someone here? Let's go and see."
Gu Lingyun, however, shook his head: "Let's not go. How could there be anyone here?"
"Do you know something?"
Seeing Gu Lingyun's fearful eyes, Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Gu Lingyun swallowed and said, "I heard people say that in Corpse Ghost Ridge, there are things similar to mirages. You see something, but when you get closer, you find yourself beside a fierce beast, only to be killed by it in one blow."
"That strange? Then we must go and see."
Chen Xuan seemed to have discovered a new continent and turned to walk towards the tent by the river.
"You..."
Gu Lingyun didn't want to go, but the cold wind blowing from behind sounded like ghosts. He gritted his teeth and quickly followed.
Soon, they approached the tent. As soon as they got close, Chen Xuan sniffed and smelled a strong, fishy odor.
"Why is there a barbecue grill here? Could someone be roasting meat here?"
Gu Lingyun looked at the bonfire in front of the tent, with a few bones lying beside it.
Chen Xuan glanced at it and frowned: "Let's go in."
Thus, Chen Xuan walked into the tent. By now, Gu Lingyun had also calmed down quite a bit and followed Chen Xuan inside.
Inside the tent, they saw a stove.
There was roasted meat on the table.
However, Chen Xuan found that the smell inside the tent was even more fishy and nauseating, as if someone's meat had rotted in the summer.
"So fragrant!"
Looking at the roasted meat on the table, Gu Lingyun's appetite was whetted, and he couldn't help but swallow.
"So fragrant? You smell it as fragrant?"
Chen Xuan frowned.
"Yes."
Gu Lingyun nodded.
Chen Xuan's frown deepened. He took another breath and found that it was indeed a fishy and nauseating smell, and it was becoming more and more intense, almost making him want to vomit.
"Chen Xuan, it seems there are people here, and roasted meat too. Let's try some."
Gu Lingyun grabbed a piece of roasted meat and handed it over.
At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly felt something drip onto his face.
He touched it and found it was bright red. It was blood.
His expression changed drastically. He grabbed Gu Lingyun and ran outside, shouting, "Get out quickly, something is wrong here!"
"What's wrong? I think it's fine! Why are you acting so strange?"
Gu Lingyun complained.
"Look, what is that!"
After running outside, Chen Xuan pointed at the location of the tent.
"That's not a tent... Wait..."
Gu Lingyun suddenly rubbed his eyes and found that the tent was slowly disappearing, transforming into a giant fierce beast. This beast was enormous, filled with filth, and had many large holes revealing stark white bones.
It held a large piece of rotten flesh in its mouth, and blood was dripping down.
A pair of lantern-sized eyes stared intently at Chen Xuan and Gu Lingyun.
Looking again at the roasted meat in his hand, it was not roasted meat at all, but a piece of rotten, foul-smelling flesh.
This made Gu Lingyun almost vomit, and he quickly threw the meat away.
"What the hell is this?"
Chen Xuan said solemnly, "This thing can probably create illusions. Through illusions, it lures people into its territory and then kills them. As for what exactly it is, I don't know."
"Could this be a Nightmare Beast?"
Gu Lingyun suddenly said.
"Nightmare Beast? What's that?"
"It's a type of fierce beast that can create illusions and feeds on rotten flesh."
"It might really be that thing," Chen Xuan said.
Boom!
The Nightmare Beast charged towards them.
Chen Xuan was about to make a move, but Gu Lingyun waved his hand: "I'll do it!"
"So proactive?"
Chen Xuan was slightly surprised.
"I don't want to be a burden!"
With that said, Gu Lingyun charged forward.
The Nightmare Beast's mountain-like body was still extremely destructive. Although it was only at the first-grade Martial Emperor realm, its strength was formidable, and Gu Lingyun could not suppress it at all. After a long struggle, Gu Lingyun wore it down to death.
"Hoo... hoo...."
Gu Lingyun gasped for breath, panting: "This thing is too monstrous. Not only is it a behemoth, but it also uses illusions. Fortunately, the points are enough!"
During the fight, he had several opportunities to defeat the Nightmare Beast, but the Nightmare Beast used illusions to disrupt Gu Lingyun's concentration.
However, the reward was quite substantial, bringing Gu Lingyun twenty points!
"It seems this Corpse Ghost Ridge is not simple,"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly.
"Chen Xuan, look what this is?"
Suddenly, Gu Lingyun shouted.
"What is it?"
Chen Xuan looked over and saw Gu Lingyun take out a backpack from the Nightmare Beast's wound.
"How can there be a bag? Could it be that a member of the Gu family came in?"
"Very likely. This Nightmare Beast also has wounds, perhaps left by others."
"Then we need to be careful," Chen Xuan reminded them.
Thus, the two set off again.
They found that the fierce beasts in Corpse Ghost Ridge were similar in type to those outside, but stronger. For example, the lightning wolves were not only as fast as the wind but also capable of firing lightning. If not careful, one could be struck by lightning, but the points were also quite generous.
Generally speaking, beasts of the same realm would yield seven or eight more points than those outside.
This made Chen Xuan and Gu Lingyun quite satisfied.
Chen Xuan said solemnly to Gu Lingyun, "Gu Lingyun, your trial begins now. If you are not in mortal danger, I will absolutely not intervene. You must know that after leaving Corpse Ghost Ridge, you will likely face many competitors."
