"It's me." A female voice was heard along with the sound of branches being stepped on and broken.

A bloated figure staggered slowly out of the darkness.

Hearing the noise, the small group of people came out of the tent.

When they were close enough to the fire, everyone could see who was coming.

It’s Lingyuan and Lingyi.

However, Ling Yuan seemed to have been seriously injured. At this moment, he was carried on Ling Yi's back with his eyes closed.

Ruan Yu opened the barrier and let them in, "He's been poisoned."

Ling Yuan's lips turned purple, his breath was weak, and his originally fair skin turned green. If this wasn't poisoning, what could it be?

"Yes, after we got separated, we encountered a plant-type soul beast." Ling Yi glanced at the few people and said, "The strength of that plant-type soul beast is too strong. Ling Yuan and I combined are no match for it."

"In order to protect me, Lingyuan was accidentally sucked into the belly of the plant-type soul beast. When he came out, he was already in this state."

"Then how did you escape?" Sun Yao came over and asked with a frown.

"After the plant-type soul beast spit out Ling Yuan, it ran away. I don't know why." Ling Yi looked anxious and didn't seem to be lying.

She grabbed Ruan Yu's sleeve tightly as if she had grabbed the last straw and said, "Ruan Yu, please save Ling Yuan."

"I can't cure every poison." Ruan Yu had already examined Ling Yuan's body.

This poison can be cured, but the price to pay is too high.

She didn't think Ling Yuan was as important as those rare spiritual plants.

Of course, there is another way.

"I have to find that plant-type soul beast first, then I can think of a way to detoxify it."

"Okay, I'll go find him!" Ling Yi immediately and carefully put Ling Yuan on the ground, "I'll leave Ling Yuan to you."

"Go back tomorrow morning. I've already given him acupuncture, which will keep him alive for the day." As Ruan Yu spoke, the silver needles in her hand were so fast that they formed afterimages.

Before anyone could see her movements clearly, Ruan Yu had already put the silver needle away.

Sure enough, as soon as Ruan Yu finished speaking, the bruises on Ling Yuan's face faded and his lips returned to their normal color.

"Thank you, Ruan Yu." Lingyi was very grateful.

"If you really want to thank me, I'll do more work later."

"Ah?" Lingyi didn't understand.

But soon, she understood Ruan Yu's meaning.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Suddenly, black shadows appeared from all around.

These black shadows were lying on all fours, their bodies were agile, and their speed was as fast as a gust of wind.

They were running around the barrier non-stop, making it impossible for anyone to see clearly what they were.

"What are these? Soul beasts?" Xiaoxiao took a step back, frightened by the scene in front of her.

Long Ji shook his head solemnly: "They are not soul beasts. They don't have the aura of the beast race, nor... the aura of the human race!"

"Go back and rest." Ruan Yu relied on the power of dark soul to clearly see the appearance of these things.

Her tone was commanding.

No one dared to disobey and they all returned to their tents.

"Girl, be careful!" Sun Yao reminded her worriedly and finally walked into the tent.

After Lingyi settled Lingyuan down, she came out again and asked, "Did you see clearly what these things are?"

"It's human."

"what?"

"To be precise, it's the dead, but their souls have disappeared and they are just puppets now."

"Are they being instructed by someone? Do they want to kill us?" After hearing this, Lingyi's hair stood on end.

In order to verify his guess, Ruan Yu seized the opportunity to open a corner of the barrier and tied a person back with vines.

Then he closed the barrier again.

The man who was tied up came towards Ruan Yu with his teeth bared and fierce eyes flashing.

A few cold rays flashed, and the opponent's limbs were cut off.

After turning into a human pig, it fell to the ground.

Even though he couldn't move anymore, he still bared his teeth at Ruan Yu, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

"This wound... contains a corpse! It's the work of those people from Qiufeng Continent!" Ling Yi was not idle either. She put her sword against the human pig's forehead and checked his body.

He keenly discovered that there was a small green sprout hidden in the wound on the chest and abdomen of the human pig.

"Is it the corpse that turned them into this?" Ling Yi took a breath of cold air.

Ruan Yu nodded calmly. She had long anticipated that these corpse embryos could not be implanted in the human body for no reason.

This secret method is somewhat similar to puppetry, except that puppetry can control living people.

"The people from Qiufeng Continent want to kill us all!"

Ruan Yu was about to answer when he saw the human pig's broken limbs grow back.

She was shocked, and a soul power wrapped around Lingyi's body and pulled her behind her.

"Step aside!"

"Hoho!" It took less than two seconds for the pig's hands and feet to grow out! He got up and quickly rushed towards Ruan Yu, opening his mouth and revealing a mouthful of silver teeth.

In the firelight, a hint of coldness appeared on the teeth.

"This thing can grow back? Is it impossible to kill it?"

Lingyi didn’t understand, but she was shocked!

"Let me deal with it!" She sent out a few bolts of lightning, which burned the corpse. After pausing for a few seconds, it pounced again.

Doesn’t thunder work?

Then try fire!

Ling Yi's eyes turned fierce and she threw a fire talisman over.

"Ahhhhhh!!" the corpse screamed in pain.

Ling Yi raised her red lips slightly and touched her nose proudly: "Let's see whether you live or not!"

However, before she could be happy for long, the fire on the corpse was extinguished.

The ghouls continued their attack.

Lingyi tried everything she could think of, but it didn't work. She was about to collapse. While holding the corpse ghost, she turned back and shouted at Ruan Yu, "It's impossible to kill it! Are we all going to die here today?"

"Get out of the way." Ruan Yu burned over with an extremely icy flame.

Lingyi jumped away swiftly.

Her hair was almost set on fire.

This time, the poor corpse didn't even have time to scream before it died instantly.

No one noticed that after the corpse's body was melted by the flames, it turned into an inconspicuous seed and fell into the soil.

"Is this your strange fire?" Ling Yi looked at the icy flames that had not yet extinguished on the corpse ghost, her eyes full of envy, "Is it only strange fire that can burn these things to death?"

"Maybe." Seeing that the barrier was about to collapse, Ruan Yu gave Ling Yi a task: "Repair the barrier."

"Yes, I will ensure that I complete the task!" Ling Yi immediately nodded in agreement.

Ruan Yuze flew out of the barrier and faced the corpse ghost directly.

"Ho ho ho!" The breath of a living person!

The corpses that were still circling around in the last second smelled the sweet scent of living people's blood, and immediately swarmed in from all directions like hungry wolves.

"Earth Flame!" Ruan Yu shouted loudly and injected all his soul power into the extremely icy earth flame.

"Buzz!" The sea of ​​fire spread out in all directions with Ruan Yu as the center.
