At this moment, Taoist Priest Qingwei and Taoist Priest Zhengyuan had brought Weiwei to the outside of the demon forest that Zhang Xuan had mentioned.
They stood on a mountain peak that wasn't very high. Looking at the forest that was shrouded in fog at the foot of the mountain, everyone's expression became a little solemn.
Zheng Yuan Dao's fat face couldn't help but reveal a trace of solemnity.""Dao Brother Qingwei, this Monster Forest is indeed not simple. From the miasma here, I'm afraid many creatures have died inside.”
Daoist Priest Qingwei nodded. Then, he looked into the distance and looked in the direction of the end of the forest.
Those with good eyesight could see that the end of the forest was a cliff.
The "Kirin Bloodwood" that Zhang Xuan mentioned should be hanging at the bottom of the cliff.
The lumberjacks could not help but be secretly shocked. They did not expect that the Taoist master to be so accurate. He said that there was such a demon forest here!
However, at this moment, a lumberjack suddenly shouted in horror,"Is this a man-eating forest?”
Everyone couldn't help but look at that person.
It was a middle-aged man with rough dark red skin. One look and one could tell that he was the kind of person who often worked hard under the sun.
At this moment, there was a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Elder Lin, what nonsense are you talking about? With the Taoist priest and the others here, don't talk nonsense!”
A worker couldn't help but say.
Elder Lin completely ignored his colleague's words and said directly,""Two Taoist masters, you can't go down there so easily. My home is just outside this mountain forest. There's a legend in my hometown that there's a human-eating skeleton forest in the Hengduan Mountain Range!
Legend has it that there is an ancient temple in there, and there are many ghosts living in the ancient temple. As long as someone or an animal enters this forest of skeletons, they will be eaten by the ghosts in the ancient temple. In the past, several young people in our village did not listen to advice and died here!”
Hearing Old Lin's words, everyone could not help but feel a little afraid.
Priest Qingwei frowned slightly, and a hint of caution appeared in his usually calm eyes.
Because he realized that the rough outline of this forest really did look like a skull!
This place might really be the skeleton forest that the lumberjack had mentioned.
"Elder Lin, don't spout nonsense, or else don't blame me for being impolite!”
The foreman, Old Xu, was wearing a safety helmet and had a lot of fat on his body. He said unhappily.
He could tell that Elder Lin's words had shaken the morale of many workers.
He couldn't afford to delay Elder Huo's funeral if no one dared to go in and cut wood later.
Priest Qingwei waved his hand and said," What this benefactor said makes sense. This place is indeed a little strange, but there's no need to worry too much. They're all villains."”
After saying that, Priest Qingwei made a hand seal and chanted a calming mantra to dispel the fear in everyone's hearts.
Then, he led his men down the hill.
The workers gritted their teeth and quickly followed Taoist Priest Qingwei.
Soon, they arrived at the edge of the forest. As soon as they got close, they could feel the gloomy cold air around them.
Now that the sun was shining brightly, they could not feel the slightest warmth.
As soon as they entered the forest, they found many white bones.
Most of the bones were from animals.
However, there were also people who could tell that this place was very dangerous.
The workers were walking in fear, and even the soldiers who were protecting them were on guard.
After what happened in the cave, they believed everything that was happening now.
The lumberjack, Old Lin, was mumbling something behind him.
Daoist Priest Qingwei said," Brother Zheng Yuan, we can cut down the demon wood for the Rebirth Bridge here. After we gather enough wood and transport the demon wood back, the two of us will go to the cliff to retrieve the Kirin Blood Wood. How about that?"”
Daoist Priest Zheng Yuan had no objections and just nodded.
This forest was very strange. There was no movement in the surroundings. No one knew what evil things were inside.
Since they could cut down wood on the periphery, there was naturally no need to go deep to avoid accidents.
Their goal was to build the Bridge of Rebirth for Elder Huo, not to explore.
Taoist Master Qingwei walked to a strange tree the size of a bowl and stroked it gently. He said in surprise,"This demon wood is at least a hundred years old, but it's only this big. The Yin energy inside is dense, so it's the best material to build the Rebirth Bridge!”
Pausing, he looked at the lumberjacks and said,""Everyone, these demon trees absorb evil energy day and night. If we let them grow, they will harm people. Now that they can help Old Huo reach the other side, it can be considered a merit.”
The workers also started to work after hearing Taoist Priest Qingwei's words.
For a moment, the sound of a chainsaw could be heard in the quiet forest.
As the lumberjack began to work, the demon trees fell one by one.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
This time, they had brought enough lumberjacks, and the required wood was quickly collected. The warrior had sent a signal flare not long ago, and soon, a large number of helicopters would arrive to transport the wood back.
The lumberjacks began to shave off the branches of the wood and stack them one by one for transportation.
Everything was ready.
However, at this moment, Elder Lin, who had been mumbling all this while, suddenly went crazy. He grabbed a coworker beside him and bit his shoulder.
In an instant, he bit off a piece of meat from his colleague's shoulder.
In an instant, blood dripped down.
"Ah!"
The worker screamed in pain, his face contorted.
Old Lin's face had already twisted abnormally, revealing a strange smile. Coupled with the flesh on his mouth, it was extremely terrifying.
"Elder Lin, you're crazy!"
The foreman, Old Xu, cursed loudly. He held the chainsaw and cursed at Old Lin.
However…
Elder Lin was not afraid at all. He immediately pounced on Old Xu.
Before Old Xu could react or even turn on the chainsaw, he was knocked away by Old Lin.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.
What was going on?
What happened to Elder Lin?
Was he possessed?
Vivian was so scared that her face turned pale and she couldn't help but step back.
At this moment, Elder Lin looked at Vivian who was closest to him and immediately pounced on her. His ferocious look scared Vivian so much that her mind went blank!
