However, to Jiang Chen's slight surprise, he did not encounter any blood-colored bats on his way back along the same route.

The entire passage became extremely empty, the fishy smell that originally permeated the air disappeared, and the concentration of Nether energy also decreased significantly. This change instantly attracted Jiang Chen's attention.

In order to understand the specific situation, Jiang Chen immediately accelerated towards the outside of the cave. In less than ten breaths, the group of three returned to the ground again.

The originally pitch-black sky now became very bright, and the mysterious power that sealed off a secret forest disappeared completely for some unknown reason.

Due to the disappearance of that sealing power, the aura of death lingering in the secret forest also disappeared.

Jiang Chen had only sized things up for a short while when the hellish creatures he had sent out sent back a message, and his eyes lit up immediately.

He quickly said, "There's a discovery, come with me."

Jiang Yu and the other two did not ask any questions when they heard this, and immediately accelerated to keep up with Jiang Chen. The three of them flew through the air, turning into three streams of light heading straight for the southernmost secret forest.

The closer they got to the southern mountains, the darker the sky became, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.

Before completely entering the mountains, Jiang Chen noticed the unusual nature of this place.

He cast his gaze down on the mountains below, and through the dense ancient trees, he could vaguely see many white bones exposed on the ground. These bones were basically wrapped in death aura, and the Nether energy was also relatively strong.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen immediately recalled the scene when he first encountered Ye Wuming, and he couldn't help but become a little more vigilant.

However, after stepping into the secret forest, Jiang Chen discovered that although this place looked rather strange, those corpses had no abnormalities, and even if they were wrapped in death and Nether energy, their hardness was very poor.

The moment the three of them landed and stepped on the corpses, the bones under their feet made a cracking sound, and then shattered directly.

"Crack, crack, crack~"

Following the aura left by the hellish creatures, the cracking sound under their feet continued.

Knowing that the corpses in this area were not threatening, the three of Jiang Chen no longer acted cautiously, and their speed increased a lot as a result.

After about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Chen finally met up with the hellish creature he had released. At this time, they had stepped into a dense bamboo forest.

The bamboo in front of them was pitch black, with no end in sight. Whenever the wind blew, it would make a piercing whistling sound, as if evil ghosts were roaring in their ears.

Under the backdrop of the rich Nether energy, this bamboo forest became even more gloomy and terrifying.

Jiang Chen casually put away the hellish creature, and then began to look around. He saw an ancient cyan stone tablet, on which was written a complicated text.

After searching in his mind, Jiang Chen couldn't recognize the characters on the stone tablet. He understood that this should be a unique script of the Nether race.

"Soulfall Forest!"

Just as Jiang Chen was about to ask the system, Jiang Yu suddenly uttered three words, and his expression became solemn at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing that Jiang Yu actually recognized the Nether race's script, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, but he quickly understood the reason.

Jiang Yu's ability to recognize these characters must be related to the divine soul he devoured.

Jiang Chen did not disturb Jiang Yu, but quietly waited for him to check the characters on the stone tablet.

After a while.

Jiang Yu turned to look at Jiang Chen and the other.

He said in a deep voice, "This is troublesome. Now that we've entered this Soulfall Forest, it won't be easy to leave."

Jiang Daoxin asked immediately, "Big brother, what kind of peculiarities does this Soulfall Forest have that make you so afraid?"

Jiang Yu explained, "Soulfall Forest is one of the natural absolute arrays formed in the Netherworld. After entering this place, the power of the divine soul will be constantly stripped away, and our perception will be greatly reduced."

"And in the Soulfall Forest, the most terrifying thing is the Soul-devouring Insect. It can be considered a type of hellish creature, and it has a very terrifying destructive power to the divine soul..."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

As soon as Jiang Yu mentioned the Soul-devouring Insect, the sound of wings flapping constantly came from around the bamboo forest, and then those jet-black bamboo leaves actually trembled.

Jiang Chen took a closer look, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Under those bamboo leaves, there were countless tiny insects with pitch-black bodies. Those insects had scarlet eyes, and every time they flapped their wings, they could drive the Nether energy.

"Go!"

Jiang Chen made a prompt decision and immediately reminded Jiang Yu and the other to escape from this place.

There were too many Soul-devouring Insects, and these hellish creatures were fearless of death. In addition, ordinary methods were useless. If they were surrounded, their divine souls would easily be damaged.

"咻咻咻!"

The three of them were very fast, turning into three afterimages and disappearing in place in an instant. The Soul-devouring Insects noticed that they were running away, and immediately flapped their wings and chased after them.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The sound of wings flapping, mixed with the sound of the wind passing through the bamboo forest, made the atmosphere even more eerie.

The Soul-devouring Insects were very fast, and the number of gathered insects became more and more numerous. Jiang Daoxin glanced back and saw that the sky-covering Soul-devouring Insects were approaching rapidly.

"No, we'll be caught up sooner or later if this continues. It's better to face them head-on."

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was constantly being shortened, Jiang Daoxin understood that it was not a solution to escape like this, and immediately prepared to confront them head-on.

However, Jiang Chen stopped him.

He quickly said, "Don't be impulsive, come with me."

Jiang Chen's body suddenly fell, and Jiang Daoxin had no choice but to follow quickly. When they fell to the ground, they discovered that there was actually a pool of water several hundred feet in size directly in front of them.

However, what was in the pool was not water, but a pool full of blood. The pungent smell of blood rushed towards them, and it would be more appropriate to say that this was a blood pool.

On the surface of the blood pool, some uncorrupted corpses could still be seen.

The outer area of the blood pool was surrounded by a thick red mist. As soon as the three of Jiang Chen stepped into the range of the mist, they discovered that the circulation of immortal energy was affected to a certain extent.

But even so, Jiang Chen still did not intend to retreat, but instead held his breath and continued to approach the blood pool.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

The sound of the Soul-devouring Insects flapping their wings rang out behind them, but Jiang Daoxin was surprised to discover that the Soul-devouring Insects did not dare to chase after them, even though the distance between the two sides was only a hundred feet.

Facing those red mists, the snake soul insects seemed very afraid, only daring to wander around the periphery of the mist.

After waiting for nothing, the dense Soul-devouring Insects had no choice but to turn around and quickly leave this area, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"They actually left!"

Jiang Daoxin's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his face.

But even though the Soul-devouring Insects had left, Jiang Daoxin did not relax his vigilance because of this, but instead became more vigilant.

After all, this place was feared even by the Soul-devouring Insects, so it was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and there might be great terror lurking in this area.

…………………………

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

As Jiang Chen and the other two continued to approach, the originally calm blood pool suddenly began to boil, and the surrounding bloodiness became even more intense.

The bones in the blood pool also began to wriggle constantly due to the boiling of the blood pool. A large amount of red mist permeated from the cracked bubbles, causing the surrounding visibility to drop rapidly.

"Be careful, this mist is poisonous."

Jiang Chen noticed the abnormality immediately and quickly reminded Jiang Yu and Jiang Daoxin behind him.

As soon as the red mist approached, it directly poured into Jiang Chen's body, constantly eroding his internal organs, and there were signs of ulceration in the meridians in his body.

Moreover, under the influence of this red mist, the immortal power in Jiang Chen's body was rapidly consumed, and the power of the Netherworld's suppression on him also increased a lot.

If he allowed those mists to continue to erode, it would probably not be easy for Jiang Chen to break through the void and leave this world later.

Jiang Chen's mind moved, and he quickly circulated the "Chaos Creation Art". Fortunately, this technique did not disappoint him, and he easily suppressed the restless red mist in his body.

As for the damaged meridians, after the red mist was completely suppressed, they quickly recovered at an extremely fast speed.

Originally, Jiang Chen was still worried about Jiang Yu and the other two, fearing that they would not be able to cope with this strange red mist, but when he turned his head, he found that they were not greatly affected.

Seeing this scene.

Jiang Chen's heart also relaxed, and then he wholeheartedly began to look at the blood pool in front of him.

He learned from the system that there were good things at the bottom of the blood pool, but now that he didn't know the situation at the bottom of the blood pool, Jiang Chen didn't dare to enter it easily.

He wanted to use his divine soul to peek, but the blood pool was completely shrouded in red mist, and his divine soul could not enter it at all.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Chen had no choice but to release several hellish creatures and let them explore the way for him.

At Jiang Chen's suggestion, three hellish creatures in the Heaven and Earth Realm went straight to the blood pool and quickly jumped into it.

"Zzz, zzz, zzz!"

As soon as they entered the blood pool, the skin of the hellish creatures made a harsh sizzling sound, and then their skin began to ulcerate, revealing the bones in their bodies. The whole process took less than a breath.

Without even having time to scream, the three hellish creatures in the Heavenly Emperor Realm were gone, dead beyond repair, and even the Nether origin was devoured in the first time.

"This..."

Jiang Yu's expression became solemn when he saw this scene.

The hellish creatures in the Heavenly Emperor Realm were already considered not weak, but they were directly killed by the blood pool in seconds. This place can be said to be a place of great danger.

But the more dangerous this place was, the more interested Jiang Chen became in the things at the bottom of the blood pool. Seeing that he could not find out any news with the hellish creatures, he planned to go in himself.

Through the observation just now, Jiang Chen also roughly determined the blood pool's attack methods.

The reason why the three hellish creatures were killed in seconds was mainly because a large amount of death energy gushed out from the blood pool, completely eroding their bodies and Nether origin in a very short period of time.

But death energy was not a threat to Jiang Chen. He could use his chaotic body to resolve it.

Jiang Chen told Jiang Yu and the others what he had discovered. After hearing that it contained death energy, Jiang Daoxin didn't care.

"Don't worry, second brother, even if the death energy in this blood pool is terrifying, it won't pose any threat to me."

Jiang Yu also said, "I have the aura of a true dragon to protect me, and death energy can't hurt me."

Seeing that the two of them had said so, Jiang Chen had nothing to worry about and jumped directly into the blood pool.

Jiang Yu and the other two also did not hesitate and followed Jiang Chen into it.

As soon as the three of them jumped into the blood pool, the entire blood pool seemed to be activated and began to boil frantically. The original red mist instantly turned black and enveloped the three of them.

A large amount of death energy gushed out from the blood pool, constantly eroding the bodies of Jiang Chen and the other two, trying to invade their bodies.

However, as soon as those death energy approached, they were either isolated or absorbed, and did not cause any harm at all.

Jiang Chen quickly rushed to the bottom of the blood pool. The deeper he went, the stronger the smell of blood became, and what he saw was a blood red color.

The closer he got to the bottom of the blood pool, the more viscous the blood became, giving Jiang Chen a feeling of being in the mud.

"That is?"

Dozens of feet away, a black bone attracted Jiang Chen's attention. The moment he saw that bone, his divine soul inexplicably felt a burst of pain.

Moreover, Jiang Chen also felt an extreme pressure on this black bone. Under the influence of that pressure, he had to slow down his progress.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Before Jiang Chen could observe too much, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared behind the black bone. Those eyes stared at Jiang Chen, and the eyes were full of greed.

"咻咻咻!"

The sound of breaking through the air continued, and the corpses that were originally floating on the surface of the blood pool flew over and rushed quickly towards the location of the eyes.

"Roar!"

In just a moment, a deafening roar came out, and the scarlet eyes kept approaching Jiang Chen.

When the other party rushed out of the area where the black bones were located, Jiang Chen also saw the other party's face clearly.

It was a creature made up of countless bones, and its shape looked very similar to the dragon race. At this time, it was frantically devouring the blood in the blood pool.

Under the nourishment of those blood, flesh and blood continued to appear on the corpses, followed by black scales that shone with cold light.

Before long, a black dragon with a ferocious face appeared in front of him. This black dragon had no vitality, and its flesh was wrapped in death and Nether energy.

"Roar!"

Making a roar similar to a dragon's roar, the black dragon suddenly opened its mouth. Its first reaction was not to attack Jiang Chen, but to turn around and bite the black bone, intending to swallow it into its body.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen naturally would not let the other party get his wish, and took action to stop it in the first time, but the black dragon was too fast, and he was still one step late.

"Bang!"

But after the black dragon approached the black bone, it failed to swallow it successfully, and its body was bounced back instead.

The black dragon was very unwilling to this, shook its head, and twisted its body and rushed up again

"Bang!"

There was an invisible barrier around the black bone, which intercepted the black dragon again.

"Dragon Marrow, this is Dragon Marrow."

Jiang Yu had the blood of the Azure Dragon, and recognized its identity the moment he saw the bone, and his expression seemed a little excited.

Dragon Marrow can be regarded as the essence of the dragon race, and even the dragon pill is much worse than it.

The size of the dragon marrow is closely related to strength,

Now Jiang Yu has the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor, and the dragon marrow in his body is only half a fist in size.

But the dragon marrow in front of him is twice as big as his, from which it can be seen that the strength of the dragon marrow's owner must have been extremely powerful during his lifetime.

Dragon marrow of this quality can allow a cultivator to be reborn and also improve the quality of the dragon bloodline. It is precisely for this reason that Jiang Yu's emotions fluctuate so greatly.
