Chapter 362 They Have No Malice
Jiu Lan'er felt the resentment around her and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, although the sun is shining brightly here, the resentment is so strong, much stronger than in the Valley of Resentful Souls."
"Human, are we about to find the source of the resentment?" Jiu Lan'er looked at Su Chenyin and asked puzzledly.
Su Chenyin nodded gently: "Yes, this is indeed where the resentment is the strongest and most intense. It should be here soon."
"Let's go. Since this is the source of resentment, we have to be careful." Su Chenyin reminded in a low voice.
Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er nodded heavily to show that they understood.
The three people walked into the red woods cautiously. Every step they took seemed to be walking on the tip of a needle. They were extremely careful and nervous.
The sunlight shines through the treetops and scatters onto the ground, but it cannot bring a trace of warmth, nor can it drive away the resentment that surrounds them.
These grievances were like countless pairs of cold hands, tightly wrapped around their bodies, making them feel short of breath.
The woods were filled with a nauseating smell of blood, which mixed with the resentment around them to form a very strange atmosphere.
Su Chenyin and the others couldn't help but frown, feeling uncomfortable.
They walked along a winding path, the blood-red leaves swaying gently as they passed, as if whispering something.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew past, causing the surrounding blood-red trees to shake.
The fruits hanging on the branches, like little red lanterns, swayed in the wind, as if waving to them.
"Ahhh-"
At this moment, powerful waves of resentment came from all directions, accompanied by shrill and painful screams.
The sound was sharp and piercing, as if countless resentful souls were wailing in one's ears, which was creepy.
Su Chenyin's face changed and he immediately became alert, his eyes fixed on the movements around him.
Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er also unconsciously moved closer to Su Chenyin, staring around nervously.
"Be careful!" Su Chenyin reminded in a low voice.
At the same time, she gathered the purple golden flame into her palm, ready to deal with possible dangers.
Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er also immediately perked up and prepared for attack and defense.
"Ahhh-"
At this moment, the miserable screams became sharper and sharper, as if to pierce people's eardrums.
The sound came from all directions of the valley, making it difficult to tell its exact location.
Su Chenyin concentrated his attention and listened carefully to every subtle sound, trying to find out the source of the sound.
After some effort, she finally made a discovery.
It turned out that the screams seemed to come from the blood-colored fruit.
Su Chenyin glanced at the densely packed blood-colored fruits on the branches of the surrounding blood trees, and reminded Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er:
"Yan Ling, you two should be careful. These fruits may be strange. These sounds seem to come from the fruits."
As soon as the words fell, the blood-red trees suddenly began to sway wildly.
Their trunks shook violently, and the blood-red fruits hanging on the branches fell off the branches and flew in all directions.
"Bang bang bang-"
Those bloody fruits fell off the branches and exploded instantly.
Thick black fog gushed out from it and quickly spread out, and the resentment around it became even more intense.
In the black fog, hideous resentful souls gradually emerged.
These resentful spirits have distorted faces, disheveled hair, bloodstains all over their bodies, and they keep letting out shrill screams.
What is even more horrifying is that these ghosts do not have arms.
Their incomplete bodies floating in the air gave people a creepy feeling.
Su Chenyin frowned tightly. She could see from the empty eyes of these resentful souls looking at her that they were full of begging and expectation.
This made her feel dazed for a moment.
At this moment, Yan Ling was about to use the Vermillion Bird Divine Fire to burn the resentful souls rushing towards them, but she quickly spoke up to stop them:
"Yan Ling, stop! Don't burn them with your Suzaku Divine Fire. I don't think they have any ill will towards us."
