But even so, as the surrounding environment gradually changed, everyone’s breathing unconsciously became much heavier.

If one observed the surroundings carefully, one could clearly feel that it was much gloomier and darker than before. It could even be said that the further one walked, the more deathly silent and eerie the environment became.

Along the way, they had at least encountered spirit beasts occasionally. Although this was not a good thing for the group, who only wanted to hurry on with their journey, they could at least feel some vitality.

But now, this kind of eerie feeling made people feel as if they had unknowingly walked into the nine Serenities hell. Even the surrounding flowers and plants were no longer so lush and bright. Instead, they were a mess, withered and gloomy. Even if there were a few shades of green in between, it always gave people a terrible green feeling, making people feel a chill on their backs.

Everyone’s expression changed. They could understand that the depths were different from the periphery, but the problem was that even the vegetation environment was different from the periphery, right?

Although each of them was powerful and were Masters of the Golden core stage, at this moment, they couldn’t help but feel a little lacking in confidence. Like ordinary people, they were also full of fear of the unknown existence. And because they knew more, their courage may not be comparable to that of ignorant and fearless ordinary people!

“Are we on the wrong path? “This place is too eerie …” Huang xiaotao couldn’t help but pull Lin Yi in fear, her face nervous as she whispered.

Although Huang xiaotao looked obedient and quiet, she was actually a typical soft-hearted person on the outside. Moreover, after so many years of going out to do trial missions, her courage was far from that of an ordinary girl. Even if she was alone in the deep mountains and forests, she might not be afraid. However, the scene in front of her was really too horrifying.

The surroundings were so quiet that everyone could even hear each other’s breathing clearly. Although Huang xiaotao was only talking to Lin Yi in a low voice, the people in front could still hear her.

In fact, not only Huang xiaotao, but even pure men like Guo dengtao and Wang Feng were a little scared at this moment. After hearing these words, they even shrank their necks unconsciously.

This place was too strange. It was completely different from what everyone had expected. If this place was filled with powerful spirit beasts, everyone would be able to accept it. At least, they were mentally prepared for this.

However, the scene in front of him was lifeless. There was not a single living thing to be seen. In addition, the light was so dim. As the old saying goes, there must be something wrong if something was abnormal. This was definitely wrong!

lin yi held huang xiaotao’s hand, his heart was also filled with uncertainty. he had noticed this abnormality a long time ago and had been on high alert, on guard against all the grass and trees around them. but to his surprise, other than the eerie environment, there was nothing wrong with this place.

lin yi was curious, but he wasn’t too worried. his jade had an alert function, and as long as he didn’t sense any danger, the jade would alert him. so far, the jade hadn’t done anything strange, and he didn’t sense any danger either.

therefore, there was only one explanation. the eerie and strange scene in front of them was not a sign of danger. it should have been like this, but for what reason, they could not figure it out at the moment.

“it seems that your knowledge is really limited …” chu bubai, who was walking at the front, turned around and saw everyone’s expressions. he couldn’t help but laugh,””could it be that you’ve only heard of the name of baby ginseng, but have never heard of its unique growth environment?”

“Oh, right! So that’s how it is!” With Chu bubai’s reminder, Guo dengtao suddenly came to a realization and patted his head. The nervousness and apprehension in his heart also disappeared without a trace.

“The growing environment of baby ginseng?” Lin Yi blinked-he’d never heard of it before. After all, he’d just formed his core not too long ago, and he hadn’t even seen the shadow of a peak golden core yet, let alone a nascent soul. If it weren’t for the fact that he’d made a golden core for the Tian Xing sect, he probably wouldn’t even know what a baby ginseng was, let alone anything else.

It wasn’t just Lin Yi. Huang xiaotao, Wang Feng, and even Chu bubai’s Dao partner, Feng Hongyu, were all at a loss. They weren’t that strong yet and hadn’t done their homework, so it was normal that they didn’t know much about the baby ginseng.

“Taozi, why don’t you tell them about it, so that they won’t be so nervous and scare themselves.” Chu bubai ordered. At the same time, he continued to walk forward, indicating for everyone to quickly follow and not fall behind.

“Alright, it seems that everyone doesn’t know that baby ginseng is just a name we usually call it. It actually has another name. In a sense, this name is more appropriate and can explain our current environment.” Guo dengtao said, trying to keep him in suspense.

“What’s your name? hurry up and tell me!” Wang Feng gave him a push. Perhaps it was because he was injured earlier, but his body was already feeling unwell. In such a dark and terrifying environment, his hands and feet felt cold, and his heart was trembling.

“Alright, alright. The other name for baby ginseng is ghost ginseng.” Guo dengtao deliberately paused. Seeing that everyone was looking at him curiously, he continued,”As for the reason, it’s not because it looks like a ghost, but because it usually grows in places with heavy Yin Qi, such as mass graves.”

“Mass grave? No wonder this place has become so eerie!” Everyone couldn’t help but look at each other. Now that they knew the ins and outs of the matter, they were no longer nervous. After all, they were Masters of the jiedan stage. They couldn’t be afraid of a mass grave. The reason why they were so nervous just now was just out of fear of the unknown.

“that’s right. according to the map, there should be a graveyard of spirit beasts not far ahead. so, it’s normal for this place to be a little gloomy. this also proves that my map is accurate and reliable. so, everyone, you don’t have to worry about anything!” chu bubai, who was in front of him, said with certainty without turning his head.

“indeed, i didn’t come here in vain by following brother chu!” guo dengtao and the others immediately said happily. when they looked at the surrounding environment again, they were no longer nervous or afraid. instead, they felt even more excited. after all, this meant that they were getting closer and closer to the baby ginseng that they had been dreaming of.

Lin Yi nodded and didn’t say anything else. Although these words all sounded reasonable, and came from Guo dengtao, not Chu bubai’s family, he didn’t know why, but he felt a little weird. He couldn’t explain it, but it just wouldn’t go away. (To be continued.) ”
