Chapter 67: Mutation

  "That ghostly corpse is holding the owner of this treasure." Feeling the terrifying fluctuations coming from the ground, Ding Yan's scalp felt numb. If he reacted a bit slower, his fate would be no better than that of the Golden Bell Treasure's owner.

  Hiding his breath, Ding Yan walked again for about two hours before finally walking out of that strange desert.

  After leaving the desert, the influence of the haze became even weaker, and objects could already be vaguely seen.

  Not long after they set off, Ding Yan saw a forest.

  The path recorded on this residual map is the one within this eerie withered forest. It's clear that the monk followed the route recorded on the map, only to be ambushed by the evil trees in the forest and ended up as a withered skeleton.

  A flame burst out from above his right hand, burning the remaining painting to ashes.

  "Huh?" Just as Ding Yan was about to get up, his gaze inadvertently swept over the monk's corpse's right hand.

  The monk was dead, but his right hand still clutched something tightly.

  "It's actually a piece of Dark Crystal!"

  The thing tightly grasped in the dead man's hand was a black crystal, about the size of an infant's fist. After taking it, it felt slightly chilly to the touch. With Ding Yan's realm, he could clearly feel the power contained within the Ming Crystal.

  Looking at the deceased monk, it was clear that he had died trying to keep this piece of Dark Crystal.

  "A man dies for wealth, a bird perishes for food." He let out a sigh and put the dark crystal into his sleeve.

  With a wave of his sleeve, he dug a small pit on the side and buried the deceased monk before continuing to walk deeper into the forest.

  To leave this place, you must find the Naihe Bridge.

  Although I don't know where the Nether King Lake is, according to Ding Yan's estimation, places with water will definitely have a more intense yin energy than other places. In the previous places we passed by, the distribution of yin energy was extremely even, but only in this withered forest, the yin energy seemed to be flowing and drifting, unpredictable.

  The air is getting colder and colder.

  Looking back, I've already forgotten the way here.

  All along the way, Ding Yan had already forgotten how many withered vines he had killed. Everywhere he passed, there was a foul smell of decay.

  Suddenly, Ding Yan felt a bright light in front of his eyes.

  Looking again, I found myself unknowingly walking into a desolate area. As my gaze swept across, I discovered that within hundreds of meters, there wasn't a single withered tree. All around, the ground was bare and empty, without a single fallen leaf. What's even more eerie is that in the center of this barren land, a small green grass grew quietly, its green buds bursting with life, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding dead trees.

  Ding Yan saw this and his heart suddenly trembled slightly.

  When things go against the norm, there must be evil spirits at work!

  Just as Ding Yan was about to carefully retreat from the place, the small grass suddenly trembled slightly.

  Right after that, before Ding Yan could react, the space around him distorted and seemed to turn into a deep whirlpool, swallowing him in...

  The city of futile death, viewed from above, is a gigantic ring-shaped world.

  Divided into core, inner city and outer domain.

  The land of the outer domain is extremely vast, with countless demons and monsters inside. Of course, there are also endless opportunities, which were left behind by our predecessors. If one can obtain one of these opportunities, their future will be boundless, and they may even have a chance to become the most powerful person in this world.

  "Haha, it actually exists! A top-grade treasure indeed......" Xiao Juezi held a rusty sword and laughed maniacally.

  "There's also the Tianlei Jue, this is an ancient cultivation method, it's said that one can directly cultivate to the height of a 5th rank Loose Immortal with this manual. With this manual, my chances of breaking through to Loose Immortal will increase by at least threefold!" Behind him, Feng Ling Lao Dao was also trembling with both hands as he held an ancient book.

  Two people, it was Xiao Juezi and Feng Ling Lao Dao.
