"Ya!" A painful scream came from the distant darkness.

Chu Jun and Zhao Yu's figures couldn't help but pause. Zhao Yu said in shock, "It seems to be Junior Brother Lin Ping's voice!"

"That's right, it should be him!" Chu Jun nodded.

Zhao Yu pulled Chu Jun and ran towards the place where the screams came from.

Zila ~ Boom!

A blue-white ball of lightning illuminated the pitch-black forest, followed by a loud explosion. Needless to ask, this was the Lightning Blast Technique of the Five Thunder Heavenly Art.

Chu Jun and Zhao Yu rushed to the explosion site. The scene was a mess. The ground was littered with broken wood and rocks. There was also a foot deep mud pit, but it was empty.

"Junior Brother Lin!" Zhao Yu shouted, but there was no response.

Chu Jun couldn't help but frown. From the moment he heard the sound until the two of them arrived, how could they disappear so quickly in just a few tens of seconds? Furthermore, Lin Ping even used the Lightning Blast Technique in the end.

At this moment, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in the darkness on the left.

"Over there!" Chu Jun led Zhao Yu over.

The two of them chased to the entrance of a valley and saw a white shadow flash into the valley. Chu Jun was about to chase after him, but Zhao Yu stopped him.

Chu Jun couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Yu's gaze was solemn as he stared at the valley entrance. Chu Jun followed Chu Jun's gaze and immediately noticed that something was amiss. There were some pale skeletons scattered at the entrance of the valley. From the shape of those skeletons, it could be seen that some of them were humans, some were beasts, and some had rotten meat attached to them. It was obvious that they had not been dead for a few days. Disgusting corpse insects crawled in and out of the rotten meat, and the air was filled with an extremely unpleasant smell of rotting meat.

Looking through the valley entrance, one could vaguely see a faint blue light floating in the valley. The scene was extremely strange, and the death aura in the valley seemed to be even denser. The gloomy and uncomfortable feeling was even more obvious.

"This should be the Deathly Filth Valley!" Zhao Yu said with a serious expression. Chu Jun could hear a trace of fear in her tone!

Chu Jun couldn't help but tighten his grip on Zhao Yu's catkin and ask, "Is this place really scary?"

Zhao Yu shook her head and said, "I don't know. Even the Death Soul Ghost Forest is my first time here. However, I heard that the Death Filth Valley leads to the Death Spirit Abyss. Underneath the Abyss, there are evil spirits and fierce souls. As long as a person approaches, they will be corroded to death by the fierce energy of resentment!"

"Is it really this strange?" Chu Jun asked.

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "This is what Master told me. He also warned me not to enter the Deathly Filth Valley. He said that the Deathly Qi here is too heavy. If my cultivation is not strong enough, I will lose my mind. Even if I die, I will not be able to leave the valley!"

Chu Jun frowned and said, "Then what about Lin Ping?"

Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't I go into the valley and you wait outside?"

Chu Jun said unhappily, "I definitely won't agree!"

Zhao Yu rolled her eyes at Chu Jun and said, "I'm Senior Sister, you have to listen to me!"

However, Chu Jun shook his head and said, "I can listen to you for the rest of the time, but I can't do this!"

Zhao Yuwei said angrily, " Chu Jun , I'm going to be angry!"

"I can't let you take risks alone!" Chu Jun said resolutely without any concessions.

Zhao Yu bit her cherry lips and said softly, "My cultivation is higher than yours. It's more suitable for me to enter. Will you wait for me here?"

Chu Jun held Zhao Yu close to his chest, his gaze solemnly fixed on her, and said with a bit of domineering tone, "As long as I am by your side, you will not be allowed to take risks by yourself!"

Zhao Yufang's heart was filled with sweetness. She sighed and said, "Then let's go in together. However, you must follow closely behind me. Don't run around!" In her heart, although Chu Jun was a man, his cultivation was inferior to her. Naturally, he had to rely on her to protect him. Who knew that compared to her, Chu Jun's strength was not inferior to hers?

"Alright!" Chu Jun nodded.

The two of them brandished their swords and walked into the Deathly Filth Valley. As soon as they entered the valley entrance, they looked at each other coldly. The temperature here was extremely cold and uncomfortable. In the darkness, it was as if countless venomous eyes were watching their every move. A sense of unease arose in Chu Jun 's heart, and he almost wanted to pull Zhao Yu back to the valley.

As she walked, a cracking sound came from under her feet. Zhao Yu lowered her head to look, and her pretty face instantly turned a little pale. It turned out that the ground was actually covered with broken bones. There were all kinds of bones in various parts of the ground. It was unknown how many years they had existed. As soon as they stepped on the ground, they would be shattered into powder.

Chu Jun and Zhao Yu both raised the moon stones in their hands and discovered that there were several hundred complete skeletons around the valley entrance. From the looks of it, those skeletons were all human. Furthermore, the appearance of these skeletons was extremely sinister and strange. It could be seen that they had suffered great pain before they died.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but approach Chu Jun 's side and said solemnly, "Why are so many people dying at the valley entrance?"

Chu Jun said solemnly in a low voice, "Yu'er, have you noticed that these skeletons all have a similarity?"

Zhao Yu observed carefully for a while before suddenly saying in surprise, "They are all lying on one side!"

Chu Jun nodded and said, "That's right, they all pounced towards the valley entrance and died. They obviously tried their best to escape from the valley before they died, but for some reason, they instantly pounced onto the ground and died. That's why they maintained such a posture!"

Zhao Yu felt a chill in her heart. Just what kind of power was it that caused so many people to pounce on the ground and die in an instant!

Perhaps because the moonstone light in their hands attracted them, there were two faint blue rays of light floating towards them in the valley. Zhao Yu immediately nervously slapped her sword across her chest.

Chu Jun said softly, "Don't be nervous. It should be phosphate fire. There are so many bones here, so it's normal to produce phosphate fire!"

Zhao Yu asked doubtfully, "What kind of fire is phosphate fire?"

"This is something contained in the bones. If the temperature is slightly higher, this kind of thing will burn and form this faint blue flame!" Chu Jun explained.

Zhao Yu said doubtfully, "How do you understand this?"

"I learned it from someone else!" Chu Jun vaguely prevaricated.

At this time, the two balls of blue light had already floated over, and Zhao Yu nervously held the sword hilt motionlessly. The two balls of phosphorescence flames floated above their heads for a while before changing directions. Zhao Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at this moment, the two balls of blue ghost flames quickly pounced towards Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu was shocked. With a wave of his sword, Chu Jun wiped out the two phosphorescence flames.

Zhao Yu calmed down and asked, "Are these phosphorescence flames conscious?"

Chu Jun explained, "Don't be nervous. Phosphorescence flames move when you hear the wind. Breathing and walking will cause the air to flow, and they will float over. If you are too timid to run, then the phosphorescence flames will not be able to shake off no matter how hard you throw them behind, scaring you to death!"

Zhao Yu suddenly looked at Chu Jun and said softly, "Chu Jun, you know quite a bit!"

Chu Jun grinned. Zhao Yu glared at him and continued walking into the valley. As the two of them went deeper, more and more skeletons were found in the surroundings. They were simply piled up like mountains, shocking to the eye.

"Heavens, there are so many bones here!" Zhao Yu was shocked, "What happened here?"

The uneasiness in Chu Jun 's heart grew even more intense. He whispered, "The possibility of war is relatively high. Only a large-scale war can kill so many people!"

Zhao Yu nodded in agreement and carefully walked forward. The valley was very quiet. Apart from the sound of the two people crushing the bones on the ground, there was not a single movement to be heard.

Zhao Yu suddenly stopped and stared vigilantly at the darkness in front of him. "Who is it? Get out!" She shouted in a low voice.

Chu Jun focused his attention on protecting Zhao Yu's side and gazed into the darkness. The moonstone's light could only shine for about ten meters, and it was pitch-black from a distance. In the darkness, there seemed to be four people quietly standing there!

Zhao Yu shouted coldly again, and the four of them still stood there quietly. Chu Jun whispered, "Yu'er, that seems to be a dead thing!"

Zhao Yu also noticed that something was amiss, because she could not feel the slightest bit of vitality from the four of them. Chu Jun threw the moonstone in his hand over. The moonstone drew a curved arc and accurately landed near the four of them. Under the hazy light of the moonstone, the two of them discovered that the four people standing there were actually four skeletons standing tall. They stood in a row and blocked the road like that.

Zhao Yudai knitted her eyebrows and said indifferently, "Could it be that the killers arranged the skeletons to scare us like this?"

Chu Jun frowned. Those killers weren't idiots. How could they think that they could frighten people with just a few skeletons? Zhao Yu held the flying sword and carefully approached the four skeletons. Chu Jun released his divine sense as much as he could and kept an eye on the surrounding movements. If the four skeletons were created by those assassins, then there would definitely be an ambush or something to do with the skeletons.

Zhao Yu suddenly stopped five to six meters away from the skeleton and pulled Chu Jun. Chu Jun asked doubtfully, "Yu'er, what's wrong?"

"Retreat! Quick!" Zhao Yu nervously whispered.

Chu Jun didn't know why, but he slowly retreated. Zhao Yu's face turned pale, her sword crossed her chest, and her bright eyes nervously stared at the four skeletons. She took small steps back and suddenly her back hit Chu Jun's chest.

"Quickly retreat, don't stop!" Zhao Yu urged in a low voice, but he heard Chu Jun 's solemn tone say, "I can't retreat!"

Zhao Yu couldn't help but look back. His heart suddenly sank. At some point, seven or eight more skeletons appeared behind him, cutting off their path of retreat.

Zhao Yu bit her lips and whispered, "Those bones seem to be alive!"

Chu Jun naturally saw that the positions of the four bones in front of him had greatly changed from before. He still remembered that the mouth on the far left was closed at first, but now it was open, as if it was laughing sinisterly. It was extremely frightening.

"I'm afraid it's the trick of those assassins!" Chu Jun comforted him softly.

Zhao Yu nodded and whispered, "I'll charge over. Follow behind!" As he spoke, the flying sword slashed towards a skeleton!

Dang!

The skeleton was instantly sliced apart by the flying sword mixed with lightning!

Zhao Yu and Chu Jun couldn't help but feel relieved when they saw this. However, before they could be happy, the eyes of the remaining three skeletons suddenly lit up with a red light. It was as if they were alive. There was a strange creak in their mouths as their two bone legs moved. At the same time, a similar sound sounded from behind them. Chu Jun turned around and looked. In the darkness, eight pairs of glittering red eyes were bizarre and terrifying. The rapid cracking sound sounded like a fatal song.
