C1424 Mountain Search

When Zhou Yi slept soundly and turned on his phone again, he found that Ju Zhong had called him no less than 100 times.

Before the notification rang, Ju Zhong called again.

"My ancestor!"

Just as Zhou Yi picked up the phone, Ju Zhong's mournful voice came over.

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and pulled the phone away from his ear. He waited for Ju Zhong to howl for a while, then he took the phone back.

"Zhou, hurry up and come over. If you don't come soon, the nature reserve will be leveled." Ju Zhong screamed at the top of his lungs.

Zhou Yi rubbed his swollen forehead, "I just want to sleep lazily. Is there a need for you to exaggerate so much?"

"Come on. I'm already here."

Zhou Yi had no choice but to say goodbye to Mo Qingcheng and rushed to the nature reserve.

After arriving there, Zhou Yi finally understood what it meant to have been flattened. It turned out that the mountain range was lush and verdant. Now, the lush green had disappeared and was replaced with charred black.

It looked like it had been set on fire, but it didn't look like it at all.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Yi looked at Ju Zhong, who was arguing with the surrounding cultivators, and spoke.

After Ju Zhong heard the sound, he suddenly turned his head and grabbed onto Zhou Yi's arm, "I say, Zhou, you're finally here."

When the others heard Ju Zhong's words, they also looked towards Zhou Yi. However, judging from their eyes, they should know who Zhou Yi was.

Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and pulled Ju Zhong's hand away, "Speak properly, what happened?"

Ju Zhong coughed dryly, "We have yet to detect what exactly it is, but the reason why this forest has become like this is because of the energy of that thing."

"You mean the energy of that thing is corrosive?" Zhou Yi caught the point in Ju Zhong's words.

Ju Zhong nodded quickly and smiled with a dog's legs, "Zhou, you are too smart. We have searched here for a long time and only found a footprint, but nothing else."

"A footprint?" Zhou Yi raised his head and looked at Ju Zhong.

Ju Zhong explained, "This nature reserve is not open to the public, and there are many wild animals in it. The first one to discover the problem is the ranger, who was patrolling the mountain this morning, and found that the forest had turned pitch black for no reason. Then, he heard a strange noise in front of him, and when he walked over, he only saw a footprint."

"After that, he discovered that something was wrong, so he came back to report to his superiors. When we arrived, that mountain area had already been charred black. Our two colleagues had already thoroughly lost contact when they investigated."

Zhou Yi's gaze swept across the forest, but he didn't find any problems.

Therefore, he said, "Let's split up a few teams and go into the mountain to search."

Zhou Yi's goal for this trip was not to find some Strange Beast, but to find those two cultivators. If it dragged on for too long, then perhaps they would be in trouble.

Ju Zhong nodded. He turned around and looked at the cultivators behind him, "You guys divide into two groups and enter the mountain from the left and right."

Zhou Yi turned his head around after hearing Ju Zhong's words, "You guys carry these things with you. If you encounter any danger, just break it and they can bring you back here!"

This was a teleportation array that Zhou Yi made a long time ago. He didn't know what was inside the forest right now, so to be safe, it was better to bring these things with him.

Everyone hurriedly cupped their fists towards Zhou Yi, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Yi waved his hand, "Be careful when you enter the mountain. Don't try to be brave. If you really meet that Strange Beast, remember to send a signal flare to inform us. I'll be there immediately."

"Yes sir!"

With the teleportation formation in their hands, everyone felt reassured and disappeared from the spot in a flash.2

Subsequently, Zhou Yi and Ju Zhong also quickly dashed towards the middle of the forest.

The two of them entered the forest and headed straight for the charred land.

"Do you feel that the air in this forest is different from other places?" Zhou Yi gradually slowed down and stopped on the charred ground.

Ju Zhong stopped beside Zhou Yi. He looked at the black soil vigilantly, then took a deep sniff and shook his head very sincerely, "I don't smell it!"

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and looked around.

Suddenly, a low howl came from a certain direction.

"What is that sound?" Ju Zhong was shocked.

Zhou Yi looked around. There was clearly nothing around him, but that sound wasn't fake.

Woo! Just as the two of them were about to give up, a low whimper came from behind them.

At this moment, the direction of the sound was clearly different from before, but the sound was definitely the same.

The moment the voice was heard, Zhou Yi immediately released an energy wave.

After a muffled bang, the whimpering stopped.

Following that, Zhou Yi's body flashed and arrived at the location of the sound. However, he still did not discover anything.

"I've really seen a ghost!" Ju Zhong couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

Ju Zhong quickly waved his hand, "Of course I'm not afraid of ghosts. The people from the ghost realm have a good relationship with me!"

However, after Zhou Yi released his power, the strange sound disappeared.

However, although the sound was gone, the smell in the air was getting stronger and stronger, so thick that Ju Zhong could smell it.

"Zhou, I smell that smell. Do you think it's like the smell of someone burping after eating too much?" Saying that, Ju Zhong took a deep sniff.

Zhou Yi frowned, "Can you not make it sound so disgusting?"

Ju Zhong sniffed with a serious expression and then said, "I'm not lying to you. Smell it carefully if you don't believe me!"

Zhou Yi really wanted to smell it, but after hearing Zhou Yi say that, he suddenly felt extremely disgusted, so he directly sealed off his senses.

The more Zhou Yi ignored Ju Zhong, the more Ju Zhong wanted to prove that he was right. Therefore, he started to collect the strange smells around him.

However, after a few minutes, the smell gradually disappeared.

Ju Zhong looked at Zhou Yi with a face of regret. Zhou Yi completely ignored Ju Zhong, so Ju Zhong could only sigh as he looked around.

However, after more than ten minutes, they were still unable to find anything, so the two decided to continue searching.

However, at this very moment, an energy explosion suddenly occurred in the distance. The two of them raised their heads at the same time and saw that the energy had exploded into fireworks in midair.

"They encountered …" Before Ju Zhong could finish his words, he felt a slight breeze by his side before Zhou Yi disappeared...
