Chapter 2241 - 2226: Walking Body

The mysterious creature with a black bandage wrapped around its face compared the map in hand to the area, and without changing the route, once again let Shi Feng walk in front of him to lead the way, acting as cannon fodder.

After walking a bit further, he spoke in a commanding tone to Shi Feng: "Go to the right!"

Following his instructions, Shi Feng turned to the right and continued moving forward.

"Entering this Yin Forest, what exactly are you searching for? Is there any treasure here that catches your fancy?" Shi Feng asked the mysterious creature behind him.

Shi Feng had thought about this question before entering the Yin Forest.

Upon hearing Shi Feng's words, the mysterious creature coldly replied: "That is not a question for you to ask! Just do what you're supposed to do."

Hearing this response, Shi Feng let out a cold snort in his heart.

A while later, the mysterious creature spoke again:

"However, considering the slim chance of survival for beings like you in this Fierce Land, if you want to know, it's harmless to tell you! It is said that deep within this Yin Forest lies a treasure left by an Ancient Divine King!"

"A treasure left by an Ancient Divine King!" Upon hearing these words, Shi Feng let out a silent gasp.

Ancient Divine King, Ancient God King!

Anyone who can be called a Divine King must be mighty.

Mighty is undoubtedly true, but to hide treasure in such a perilous place, can it not be formidable?

It's also possible that this eerie, dangerous land was carved out by that Divine King using Great Divine Power.

If that's true, it's indeed terrifying!

And the treasure left by such an entity, whether it be a Divine Artifact, Cultivation Technique, Divine Pill, or Miracle Medicine, would stir the hearts of countless living beings, driving them to enter this dangerous place at all costs.

"Perhaps those terrifying drops of human blood were refined by that being called the Divine King, who killed powerful Human Clan individuals in ancient times." Shi Feng coldly thought to himself.

After escaping danger earlier, Shi Feng and the mysterious creature haven't encountered any more threats on this path.

Every few steps, Shi Feng begins to leave his mark once more.

At this point, the marks he left have not been erased again.

"Could it be that each area is controlled by mysterious beings in the shadows, and now that I've entered this area, the beings who erased my marks earlier haven't come?" Shi Feng speculated silently.

But it's just speculation; who really knows what's true?

Shi Feng and the mysterious creature didn't say much along the way, leading to an uncanny silence, broken only by their footsteps echoing, "pat-pat! pat-pat! pat-pat!"

"pat-pat! pat-pat! pat-pat!"

"pat-pat! pat-pat..."

"Hmm?" Shi Feng's eyes suddenly widened, stopping abruptly.

Even the mysterious creature behind him paused.

"pat-pat! pat-pat! pat-pat!"

"pat-pat! pat-pat! pat-pat!"

...

Yet the rhythmic, light footsteps continued to resonate, sounding as if they're coming from ahead, stealthily approaching them step by step.

Each sound rippled through their souls.

"What is it?" Shi Feng wondered in shock.

The footsteps kept getting closer, but his Soul Power couldn't detect any living beings at its furthest reach.

"Yin Corpse, you said you were born with keen senses; have you detected anything?" The mysterious creature with his face wrapped in a black bandage asked Shi Feng in a deep voice.

"No!" Shi Feng replied.

Then he added: "But I have a premonition that we might encounter even greater danger, more perilous than the Blood Drop we met earlier."

"As we advance through the Yin Forest, danger increases, and falling into more peril is normal." The mysterious creature spoke sombrely.

"Since we've chosen to enter this place, we should keep moving forward." Shi Feng said.

"Naturally!" echoed the mysterious creature.

Afterward, they both stepped forward, moving onwards one step at a time.

Meanwhile, the footsteps continued to echo from the front, seemingly drawing closer to them.

Shi Feng was ready for battle, prepared to activate his movement technique at any moment.

Soon, the creature responsible for the footsteps wasn't visible, but Shi Feng and the mysterious creature saw a row of black statues standing ahead.

The statues were of unknown creatures, oddly shaped, ugly, fierce, and sinister, standing like humans.

"This is the Netherworld Yi Clan!" The mysterious creature suddenly spoke.

"Netherworld Yi Clan?" Shi Feng muttered these words.

"Indeed! I've seen them in ancient texts; they are certainly the Netherworld Yi Clan! An ancient race, but one that became extinct in ancient times." The mysterious creature confirmed.

Upon hearing this, Shi Feng asked: "Why are there so many Netherworld Yi Clan statues here? Could the Divine King be of this clan?"

"It's possible." The mysterious creature with the black bandage spoke again:

"The Netherworld Yi Clan, like us, is considered a Death Creature, and this Yin Forest has existed for countless ages. Perhaps the Divine King of the Netherworld Yi Clan used Great Divine Power to create this Yin Forest and stored his treasure here."

"Hmm!" Shi Feng nodded slightly, his eyes remained fixed on the black statues.

Shi Feng was certain these statues were lifeless.

Yet staring at them filled his heart with an inexplicable sense of unease.

Even he couldn't articulate why he felt so uneasy.

"What is going on?" Shi Feng murmured quietly in his heart.

"pat-pat! pat-pat! pat-pat!"

Then, the footsteps that had quieted down suddenly resumed.

This time, Shi Feng and the mysterious creature felt the ground under their feet trembling in sync with the footsteps.

"That thing is approaching us!" Shi Feng said to the mysterious creature.

"Hmm!" The mysterious creature nodded slightly.

Soon, Shi Feng's expression changed suddenly, his Soul Power suddenly swept over a figure.

That was… a human body, exceptionally large, but filled with dead air, enveloped in Death Black Fog.

And the head of that body was missing!

It was a headless walking corpse, exuding an exceptionally terrifying aura.

"pat-pat! pat-pat! pat-pat!" It slowly walked, emitting rhythmic footsteps.

And the earth seemed to merge with it; with every footfall, the ground trembled.
