Song Wen looked thoughtful.

He didn't take it too seriously to Zi Yi's mild hostility. He was confident that even if he couldn't defeat Lao Chun and Zi Yi, there would be no problem in saving his life.

Just by using the "Blood Escape Technique", it would be impossible for Zi Yi and Lao Chun to catch up.

What he was thinking about was whether it would be safer to go get the empty cicada tree alone, or would it be safer to be accompanied by someone like Xuan Ye who was familiar with the terrain?

After thinking for a while, Song Wendao.

"Okay, I will accompany you to get the snake scale fruit first, but you have to promise that after you get the snake scale fruit, you will accompany me to get the empty cicada tree."

Xuan Ye's face lit up and he said, "Don't worry, as long as you get the snake scale fruit, I will definitely accompany you on your journey."

Song Wen nodded, agreeing with the other party's promise. As for whether the other party could keep his promise, Song Wen did not worry about it.

If the other party regrets it then, Song Wen will have his own way to make the other party fulfill his promise.

Soon, the five people arrived at the fork Xuan Ye mentioned.

After learning that Xuan Ye, Niu Ding and Song Wen were all going to the left, heading to the Snake Cave. Zi Yi said goodbye to the three of them very simply. Her father was deeply poisoned and there was no need to delay. She had to seize the time and head towards Forsythia Huang.

After seeing Zi Yi leave, Xuan Ye also led Song Wen and Niu Ding to the left passage.

As he walked, he said.

"Niu Ding, can you tell us now where your elder brother's body is?"

During the previous journey, Niu Ding did not disclose the specific location of his elder brother's body.

"According to the survivors who were traveling with my eldest brother, they came to the cave to get the snake scale fruit. However, before they reached the snake cave, they were attacked by a group of ghosts. Many of the ghosts were as powerful as Qi practitioners. The resentment ghosts of the later monks, my eldest brother fell into the siege of the resentment ghosts and could not escape."

"If you are attacked by a resentful ghost, it is possible to recover the body. If you are attacked by a walking zombie, the possibility of recovering the body is extremely low."

Xuan Ye said with emotion.

Ghosts feed on souls and monk essences, while zombies feed on corpses and flesh. If you are killed by a resentful ghost, a whole corpse will be left, but if you are killed by a walking zombie, basically no bones will be left.

"By the way, how long has it been since your elder brother's accident?" Xuan Ye asked again.

"One month!"

"Has it been a full month already?" Xuan Ye whispered softly.

Xuan Ye didn't care whether Brother Niu Ding's body could be recovered. As long as he accompanies Niu Ding, he has fulfilled his promise. What the final outcome will be is beyond his control.

Xuan Ye was more concerned about the information revealed in Niu Ding's words.

During the chat during the previous trip, Xuan Ye knew that Brother Niu Ding's cultivation was at the eighth level of Qi training, and people with such strength were surrounded and killed by resentful ghosts.

If the three of them encountered those resentful ghosts, it would probably be extremely dangerous.

A month has passed, and I hope those resentful ghosts who like to wander around have left.

The three of them walked through the winding passage for more than an hour.

The passage that was originally about five meters wide suddenly became wider, and an irregular cave about a hundred meters wide appeared in front of the three people.

There are hundreds of nests of various sizes on the walls of the cave.

Niu Ding pointed to the cave a hundred meters ahead and suddenly said, "This should be the place where my brother's accident happened."

Niu Ding's words made Song Wen and Xuan Ye feel nervous and became extremely cautious, and their steps stopped involuntarily.

The cave was very quiet, so quiet that Song Wen could hear his own heartbeat and breathing.

"Don't talk, everyone. Use sound transmission to communicate."

Xuan Ye's message sounded in the minds of Song Wen and Niu Ding.

"Niu Ding, hurry up and find your brother's body. Be careful not to make too much noise. Those nests always give me a very dangerous feeling."

With the mental strength of a seventh-level qi-training monk, the range covered is generally about a hundred or ten meters. Of course, everyone will have slight differences due to their different talents, but the difference is generally not too big. Unless they are the kind of people who have specially cultivated spiritual power, they can significantly exceed this range.

The three of them are now about two hundred meters away from the cave, far beyond the range of Niu Ding and Xuan Ye's mental exploration.

They could only use the light of the fluorescent stone to vaguely see the nest on the cave wall in the distance.

Just as Niu Ding was about to slowly walk into the cave to search for his senior brother's body, he heard Song Wen's message.

"No need to look for it. There is only one corpse in the eighth nest from the bottom on the far left. There are no other human corpses in the other nests."

After hearing Song Wen's message, Niu Ding and Xuan Ye both looked in disbelief.

The nest is more than two hundred meters away, and Song Wen only has the sixth level of Qi training.

Did Song Wen hide his cultivation?

He is a monk who has perfected his Qi training!

"Don't think too much, I'm just mentally stronger than ordinary people." Noticing the fright of the two of them, Song Wen explained to them through a voice message in order to prevent them from overthinking and causing unnecessary trouble.

After hearing Song Wen's explanation, the two of them didn't hesitate too much, and Niu Ding asked via voice message.

"Brother Guo Tao, are you sure?"

Song Wen nodded and replied, "I'm sure, the corpse is located ten meters from the entrance of the lair. It is a male corpse. He is tall and seven feet tall. However, the corpse has been dehydrated and has become a mummy."

Niu Ding looked happy and said in a message.

"It can't be wrong, it's my eldest brother's body."

When he saw Niu Ding, he was about to run towards the lair, Song Wen sent a message to remind him.

"Fellow Daoist Niu, you'd better be careful. There are many criss-crossing paths inside those lairs, and they are connected vertically and horizontally. It's unknown how deep they are. Although I didn't sense the existence of ghosts, I always had a feeling of trepidation. I'm afraid it's not that easy to get your brother's body back."

After entering the cave, Song Wen has been using beetle Gu to explore the way.

Beetle Gu has initially explored the periphery of the nest and found no ghosts. However, Song Wen did not let Beetle Gu go deep into the nest. He was worried that the ghosts in the nest were powerful and discovered the existence of Beetle Gu. Losing the Beetle Gu for this was not worth the gain. .

Anyway, it was Niu Ding who ventured into the lair, not Song Wen. He was able to find out where Brother Niu Ding's body was, which was considered to be the most benevolent and righteous thing he could do.

Seeing that both Song Wen and Xuan Ye said that the nest was dangerous, Niu Ding, who was a little impatient, stopped and sent a message to ask for help.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye, what are your ideas?"

Xuan Ye said in a message.

"Right now, we don't know the situation inside the lair. It's too dangerous to act rashly. We still need to try to find out whether there are ghosts in the lair. If there are ghosts, how many ghosts there are and what their strength is."

Niu Ding said, "According to what my elder brother's colleagues said, they encountered more than a hundred ghosts here at that time, including no less than twenty powerful resentful ghosts."

"There are twenty powerful resentful ghosts comparable to those in the late stage of Qi training!"

When Song Wen heard this, his eyes widened immediately. There were more than twenty resentful ghosts here, which gave him the urge to run away immediately.

With such a large number of resentful ghosts and nearly a hundred weaker ghosts, is this something that a monk in the Qi training period can resist?

What kind of treasure does Brother Niu Ding have on his body that is worth taking such a big risk to retrieve the body?

Song Wen no longer believed that Niu Ding was really willing to take such a big risk just for a corpse.
