The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

The night should have been very quiet, especially in the white mist forest filled with thick fog. It should have been silent, but just when Zeng Wenyu had just fallen asleep, a shrill scream sounded from a distance, waking him up from his sleepiness.

The shrill screams did not stop, but instead became more and more intense. In just a few seconds, the screams began to rise one after another, gradually changing from one person to many people, or even dozens of people.

They exchanged a glance with Mu Zhi who was also woken up. The two of them almost knew what the other was thinking. With so many screams and so many people, they could only think of one thing, that is, the men brought by Long Tan. They didn't encounter them during the day, so Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi thought that they were not brought into the White Mist Forest by the fog. But now it sounded that these people were also brought into the White Mist Forest and were in danger.

"Do you care?" Mu Zhi turned her head slightly and asked Zeng Wenyu.

Zeng Wenyu frowned and looked in the direction where the scream came from. Although it didn't take much effort to clear out the evil spirits during the day, and although those people were human like him, they had no relationship with him. They were even Longtan's abandoned children. Zeng Wenyu just thought about it for a moment and refused.

Mu Zhi naturally didn't care about Zeng Wenyu's rejection. She shrugged her shoulders slightly and leaned against a human-faced tree next to the altar to take a nap. The human-faced tree had no way to deal with Mu Zhi leaning on it. When the pollution on the dragon scales was not removed, it dared to open its eyes slightly to look. But now that the dragon scales have been restored and it is so close to the altar, let alone being leaned against, it would not dare to move even if it was chopped on the spot.

Zeng Wenyu did not lean against the human face tree and take a nap like Mu Zhi. He looked quietly in the direction where the screams came from, quietly thinking about what could have made those people scream like that.

During the day, Zeng Wenyu, Mu Zhi and Xiao Xue did not find any particular danger in the White Mist Forest, but these human face trees? To be honest, no matter how low the cultivation of Long Tan's subordinates was, they could almost see the attack method of the human face tree at a glance. Even if one or two people were deceived without paying attention, they would have reacted. This kind of screaming situation could only be that they were caught by something, so what exactly was it?

This question lingered in Zeng Wenyu's mind, but he could not find the answer at all. They had only done a few things since entering the White Mist Forest. Apart from his inadvertent help to Long Lin in removing pollution, the most dangerous thing was to eliminate evil spirits. After those human-faced trees failed to seduce them and they cut down one of them, there was no movement.

"Unless there are other monsters here? Or maybe it's a sea monster that came to pollute the dragon scales?"

Zeng Wenyu thought so and slowly stood up. He really wanted to get to the bottom of this matter, but since coming to the White Mist Forest, even Mu Zhi's consciousness had been suppressed to a very small area. Now the only ones who could know what was going on over there were the dragon scales and the innate Mu Mu Mu on the altar in the barrier. However, there was no movement in the barrier from beginning to end, only the green light filled with the breath of life which had not dissipated until now, and Zeng Wenyu didn't want to disturb them.

"Do you want to go over and take a look?" Mu Zhi's voice sounded from behind Zeng Wenyu, "Didn't you say to just leave them alone?"

"I really don't want to bother with them, but I want to figure out what made them scream together. Obviously, the White Mist Forest Cracked Human Face Tree is not a big threat to them, but why did they scream together?"

"Perhaps they were captured by the human-faced trees at the same time? I have seen such things as human-faced trees in the memories passed down to me by my mother. These trees are basically dormant during the day and come out at night. I don't know if they have changed, but I think their habits should not have changed much. We are in a safe place now. There are Senior Bai's scales to help us intimidate the human-faced trees around us. The human-faced trees we are relying on naturally dare not make any moves, but it is not certain for them."

"Is that so? Does that mean the human-faced tree has other means of attack?"

"Ah... That's not the case... Actually, I'm just guessing. Didn't the senior say before that these human-faced trees have been modified? So it's not ruled out that they have other means of attack..."

"So Sister Mu Zhi, you're not sure... In this case, we should figure out what it is. The other things don't matter, but we're afraid it's the powerful ones among the sea monsters."

Hearing Zeng Wenyu say this, Mu Zhi nodded: "What should we do? Should we sneak in and take a look?"

"No, the White Mist Forest has already started to fog up. If we rush over there rashly, we will definitely get lost. Not only will we not be able to find out what it is, but we will also put ourselves in danger."

"So how are you preparing?"

"Hide!"

"Hide?"

"Yes, Sister Mu Zhi, let's find a place to hide. If the other party is really a sea monster and is here to cause trouble for you, and we can't join forces to fight it, then we will hide and see what it is going to do, and then try to destroy it. If we can join forces to fight it, then we will kill it!"

"That's a good idea, but there's still a question, what if there's nothing?"

"Then we are safe! Sister Mu Zhi! Have you become stupid? Why would you ask such a question?"

"..."

Mu Zhi was silent. She had already sensed something was wrong after asking the question. Normally, she would never ask such a simple question. But after asking this question, she suddenly felt as if something was wrong with her body, and a feeling of dizziness suddenly appeared.

Zeng Wenyu only saw Mu Zhi's body shaking slightly. Just when Zeng Wenyu wanted to ask Mu Zhi if there was anything wrong, Mu Zhi suddenly stood up straight, turned around and walked towards the altar.

He didn't understand what was going on, but just when Zeng Wenyu was puzzled, he suddenly saw Mu Zhi's body trembling slightly. At the same time, he could see that Mu Zhi's body was extremely stiff and uncoordinated. A black shadow was lying on Mu Zhi's back. If there was no fog near the altar and the moonlight could shine directly near the altar, Zeng Wenyu would not even be able to see it.

Looking at the black shadow, Zeng Wenyu suddenly shouted: "What the hell! Get off Sister Mu Zhi's back!"

Zeng Wenyu's voice was very loud, but Mu Zhi continued walking towards the altar as if he didn't hear it.

Seeing that the dark shadow behind Mu Zhi ignored him, Zeng Wenyu immediately ran behind Mu Zhi, stretched out his left hand to grab Mu Zhi's shoulder, and stopped her from continuing to walk towards the altar.

"Heh...heh...heh..."

Mu Zhi, who was held by Zeng Wenyu, kept making such sounds. In Zeng Wenyu's eyes, Mu Zhi was no longer the original Mu Zhi. Many black patterns appeared on her forehead, and those patterns formed an unknown black flower, which looked very strange.

Looking at Mu Zhi's condition, Zeng Wenyu whispered, "Possessed? With Sister Mu Zhi's cultivation level, how could she be possessed? And what could possess her?"

"It's an evil spirit!" Xiaoxue poked her head out from the hood behind Zeng Wenyu and said, "And it's not an ordinary evil spirit. Sister Mu Zhi's cultivation is very high. The one who can control her is at least the king of the evil spirits in this White Mist Forest."

"What should we do? Xiaoxue, do you have any way to dispel the evil spirit possessing Sister Mu Zhi?"

"I have no way... I have no way to deal with this kind of thing..."

“What should we do? Senior and Mumu are still inside the barrier, there is a threat from something unknown over there, and Sister Mu Zhi is possessed by this evil spirit…”

"Just because I can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it!" Xiaoxue's voice was not anxious. "You should ask Xiaoli about this matter. She has a way to dispel this evil spirit. Or you can ask Xiaomeng. She can be regarded as the nemesis of this evil spirit to some extent."
