After leaving Black Rock City, Jiang Yao walked straight into the barren mountains and wilderness.

After a brief battle with the lunatic Changhen Patriarch, he already had a rough idea of ​​his own strength level.

Under heaven, he is absolutely invincible.

Ancestor Changhen is a celestial being. Because of his brain problems, his strength may be a little weak, but he has the flying corpse form as a trump card. Jiang Yao feels that if he goes all out, he may be able to fight against a real celestial being.

For ordinary people, the wilderness may be full of dangers, but Jiang Yao has long since stopped taking it seriously.

If I don't encounter those monsters and ghosts that appear in the wilderness from time to time, it means they are lucky. If they really want to attack me at all costs, I can just kill them with a slap if I waste a little effort.

Traveling through the wilderness, there is no danger along the way.

Although Jiang Yao did not display the form of a flying corpse soaring in the sky, but even if he was just running on the ground, in less than a day, he still crossed a distance of hundreds of miles and appeared within the range of Xujia Town.

"I remember that when I first stepped into a foreign land, I spent quite a while in Xujia Town."

"This time I stepped into a foreign land again. When I passed through here on my way to Black Rock City, Xujia Town was still doing fine. However, the Xu family was no longer in the town. Instead, a new warrior force was ruling the town."

"But now..."

Looking at the Xujia Town in front of him which had completely turned into ruins, Jiang Yao had a complicated expression and sighed sincerely.

He took a step forward and walked around the town.

There were traces of fire everywhere, and most of the original houses in the town had collapsed.

Every time he walked a certain distance, he saw dead bones scattered on the ground.

Especially in the central area of ​​Xujia Town, white bones can be seen everywhere.

"Not a single living person is left. How did Xujia Town become like this in just one or two years?"

"Natural disaster? Or man-made disaster? The latter is probably more likely!"

"A town with thousands of people just disappeared like that..."

Although Jiang Yao has never been a kind-hearted person, after seeing the scene in Xujia Town, he still had a complicated expression and sighed deeply.

Judging from the various traces left in the town and the piles of bones, the destruction of Xujia Town definitely did not happen recently, but rather a long time ago.

On that day, after the Tianwangzhai army was defeated, the defeated soldiers fled in all directions.

There is a high possibility that Xujia Town became like this because of one of the defeated soldiers.

Although he had such a vague guess in his mind, Jiang Yao did not want to delve into the matter further, and he did not have any intention of seeking justice for the people who died in Xujia Town.

After all, in times of war, the massacre of villages and towns is not a rare occurrence in this foreign world.

To be honest, in the real world, even though there is peace now, there were also many massacres during the wars in the past!

For example, when the Manchus entered the Central Plains, they massacred countless villages and towns, not to mention the entire city.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were 100 to 200 million people. By the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the population of this vast country had dropped to more than 10 million. Compared with them, when it comes to massacres, life would have to be put aside.

Shaking his head, Jiang Yao sighed softly. He was too lazy to think about things that would affect unity.

Seeing Xujia Town destroyed and turned into ruins, he felt a little sad only because he had stayed here before. Apart from that, he did not have many other thoughts.

After all, he never had much of a sense of belonging to the foreign world.

In his heart, no matter where he is, no matter in the past, present or future, his roots are always in the small village near Yuanjiang River in the real world.

He did not stay in Xujia Town for long. After looking around and getting some directions, he followed the location of the hunting lodge in the town and plunged into the forest behind.

Although the spiritual mark that Jiang Yao left on the tree had long since disappeared, he had experience in how to go from this forest to the Ghost Forest, and this was not the first time.

On the fourth day, in the ghost forest, underneath the strange stone with golden threads contained in it.

Jiang Yao, with fangs in his mouth and wings on his back, in the form of a flying corpse, sat quietly here.

As a master of the innate realm, he can barely be compared to ordinary celestial beings in terms of real combat power, but in the ghost forest, powerful monsters are countless.

When he stepped into the Forest of Ghosts, he was not stubborn enough to confront those powerful monsters in the forest head-on. For safety reasons, he immediately displayed his flying corpse form.

Although maintaining this form for about a day might directly consume a year of his lifespan, he still had more than a hundred years to live, so he didn't care about this consumption.

To be honest, he had found the location of this strange stone two days ago.

However, in this alien world, there is no accurate timekeeping tool at all, and Jiang Yao’s concept of time is a little vague.

He only remembered that this time he had been here for less than two years.

As for how long it would take to reach two years, he himself couldn't estimate it clearly for the time being.

In such a situation, being in the Forest of Ghosts, he could only slowly grope for the exact time when the area where he was currently located overlapped with the jungle in Saigon.

The sky and the earth turned dim and the sky darkened. Endless negative energy surged out from under the earth and covered the entire jungle in a flash.

During the day, the forest was extremely quiet, with Jiang Yao being the only one sitting there.

It was just getting dark at this moment. The surrounding jungle was filled with ghostly figures. Dry bones emerged from the ground and began to wander around unsteadily.

However, the area where Jiang Yao is located has been relatively quiet.

Be it the walking skeletons or the vague and erratic ghost shadows, when passing by this place, they all take a detour and dare not actually get close to this area.

A blood-red sedan chair swayed and came from a distance. It was still more than ten steps away from where Jiang Yao was. The sedan chair was suspended in the air and had come to a standstill.

The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and Du Wuniang stepped out. She bowed respectfully to Jiang Yao and said, "Sir, my men have been busy for two nights and only found these few herbs!"

With a wave of his hand, ginseng plants fell like rain at Jiang Yao's feet.

The last time she faced Jiang Yao, she could only call him "Brother Jiang".

But now, just the aura of Jiang Yao made her feel intimidated and her heart trembled. The way she addressed Jiang Yao had directly changed from Brother Jiang to "Sir".

Jiang Yao did not ask her to find the elixir. This time, she came here on her own initiative to show her courtesy.

"Thank you for your hard work, Wu Niang!" Jiang Yao nodded and waved his hand to collect all the elixirs on the ground.

This thing actually has no effect on him.

However, Du Wu Niang had already brought the things, and there was still a lot of free space in his storage space.
After thinking about it, he finally put the things away and did not reject Du Wuniang's kindness.

"It's not hard for Wu Niang, it's you, sir, who's hard at work!"

"I have some experience in serving others." "The night is long. I wonder if you need me to do something with you to kill time."

……

Her figure was erratic, and Du Wuniang deliberately moved closer to Jiang Yao.

She suggested, tentatively.

While she was speaking, her originally blurry face became much clearer, and she made a few faces and even threw a wink at him.

"I accept the herbs you sent me."

"Although these things are no longer useful to me, I still thank you for your kindness."

"As for serving me, there is no need for that!"

"Okay, you can leave first. If I really need you, I will find you!"

Looking up at the elf woman in the sedan chair, Du Wuniang, he politely declined.

Although he spoke politely, he was really speechless in his heart.

When I was weak, Du Wuniang wanted to kill me. Now that I am stronger, she tries every possible means to get close to me and get closer to me.

"Okay, I understand!" Du Wuniang sighed, slightly disappointed.

She floated back to the blood-red sedan chair, and when she was about to get in, she turned back again: "Sir, if you need someone to serve you, Wu Niang is always here to serve you. Remember to come and find me..."

A female ghost, I don't know where she learned it, but she still speaks in a coquettish voice.

After saying a few words, she got into the sedan chair. The blood-red sedan chair floated and disappeared into the dense forest in a blink of an eye.

"In front of losers, many women want both a car and a house, and they always talk about money!"

"If they really meet a tall, rich and handsome guy, they would rather spend money on him, and they are afraid that he will look down on them and think that he is with them just for money."

"Why do I feel that Du Wu Niang and those women in the real world are almost cut from the same mold?"

Looking in the direction where Du Wuniang left, Jiang Yao sighed and said with emotion.

Female ghosts and the like don’t even have a physical entity; they are just a mass of pure negative energy.

In the past, due to his curiosity, he had worked as a Undead Knight, and the Du Wu Niang in front of him no longer aroused any interest in him.

Sitting cross-legged under this strange stone, he just wanted to wait for the two areas to overlap so that he could return to the real world as soon as possible.

Du Wuniang is completely in the way here. Jiang Yao would only agree to let her stay here to serve him unless he is kicked in the head by a donkey.

"When the white fog appears, the two areas will overlap."

"Du Wuniang and other ghosts have lived in the ghost forest for who knows how many years. Didn't any of them run to the real world at that moment?"

"Compared to the jungle in Saigon, the Ghost Forest is indeed more suitable for ghosts. But since the two areas often overlap, there will always be ghosts who, driven by curiosity, go over there to take a look, right?"

"Ordinary ghosts are fine. After all, they are not very strong. Under the scorching sun over there, even if they don't die, they will definitely become very weak."

"But what about those powerful ghosts? With their strength, even if they stand under the sun, they will only feel a little uncomfortable at most. It is impossible to have a big impact on them."

“Let alone the celestial level, even if a congenital level ghost like Du Wu Niang ran into the real world, it would definitely be a huge disaster!”

……

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Jiang Yao's mind was turning over and over, and suddenly, he thought of this question.

His eyebrows were so furrowed that they formed a straight line, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the reason.

"The ghost girl Du Wu Niang can communicate!"

"How about calling her over and asking her this question?"

"But what if she doesn't know about the overlap of the two worlds? If I do this rashly, wouldn't it be like trying to cover up the truth and exposing this place and the real world?"

Jiang Yao was thinking about it over and over again, and for a moment, he was a little undecided.

Just as he was hesitating, billowing white fog began to pour out from all over the dense forest.

In the originally empty area, blurry giant trees began to appear and disappear in the white mist.

"It's here, it's finally here!" Jiang Yao was delighted when he saw the scene in front of him.

Maintaining the form of a flying corpse, every extra day he stayed in the Forest of Ghosts would result in him losing one year of life.

Although he has more than a hundred years of life left, he still cannot squander it. At this moment, the fusion of the two worlds has begun and the white mist has emerged. Naturally, he only wants to go back to the real world as soon as possible. He has no time to find Du Wu Niang to ask something.

With a swish, he stood up from the ground, then jumped lightly and landed on the strange stone.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the vague shadow of the tree in front of him.

The next moment, an extremely terrifying invisible force suddenly descended upon him.

It was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back. The sudden change caught him completely off guard. He had no time to react and fell headfirst off the rock.

"What the hell is going on?" The inexplicable force came suddenly and went away quickly. Although Jiang Yao fell to the ground, he was a little embarrassed, but he didn't seem to have any injuries at all.

With a somersault, he jumped up from the ground and landed on the strange boulder again.

He had already experienced traveling back and forth between the two worlds many times when the two worlds overlapped.

In the past, as long as he touched the phantom of the giant tree above the strange rock, he would be able to land on it, then climb up the tree and return to the real world.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such a sudden and terrifying force descending upon him.

Standing on this strange rock, looking up at the vague shadow of the tree above his head, Jiang Yao took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand again towards the trunk of the giant tree.

His palm touched the blurry giant tree again, and the extremely terrifying invisible force descended upon him again.

"Ahhhhhh..." With a low roar, Jiang Yao's whole body of bones seemed to be about to break and began to creak non-stop.

He had already been mentally prepared for this, and this time, in order to withstand the invisible pressure, he had already given it his all.

But even so, he still couldn't withstand the great force. He only held on for two or three moments before he flipped over again and fell off the strange rock.

"Fuck it, the world over there seems to be rejecting me..."

Jiang Yao sat on the ground, cursing and breathing heavily. (End of this chapter)
