The net was filled with silver scales and pincers. It was filled with all kinds of aquatic products, most of which were fish.

Creak, creak ... The old trestle made a desolate sound as the old man dragged the fishing net with heavy steps towards the dock.

After walking for a while, he suddenly put down the fishing net and slowly sat down. He clenched his fists and slowly patted his back, as if he was just an ordinary poor old man who was old but unable to enjoy his old age and could only drag his old body to continue working.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the old man stood up with his hands on his waist and dragged the fishing net again.

After resting for two times, he finally dragged the net to the shore. He sat cross-legged under one of the flagpoles with an angry wind lamp hanging on it and opened the net. After examining it, he quickly picked out a fat fish with dense scales.

Immediately after, the old man took out a bright vegetable knife from his waist and began to kill.

He first pressed the fish on the wooden board in front of him, then pressed the blade against the soft belly and slowly cut it open. Suddenly, the internal organs mixed with blood gushed out.

&Quot; ah ah ah ah ah ...!! &Quot;

It was at this point that the fish suddenly let out a miserable shriek. It was as if the old man wasn't killing a fish, but a living person!

The old man was unmoved, as if he didn't hear it at all. His technique was extremely skilled, and soon, the fish's belly was completely cut open. Then, he pulled out all the internal organs and stuffed them into his mouth.

The fish's screams reached their peak at this moment!

Crunching, crunching, crunching ... On the silent dock, the sound of chewing was clear to the ears. Bright red blood flowed down the corner of the old man's mouth, from the layers of wrinkles all the way to the lower jaw, and dripped on the front of his lapel.

Then, the old man raised his knife and chopped at the fish head again and again!

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and shrill screams could be heard.

Soon, the fish's head was cut off in a disorderly manner. The old man stretched out his grayish-black fingers that were covered with mud or something else, and forcefully dug out the fish's eyes that were still alive. The living person's screams suddenly became a pitch higher, and his hysterical howls could almost tear the clouds apart.

The old man threw the fish eye into his mouth. Crunch, crunch, crunch ...

Blood and some blurry meat seeped out from the corners of his mouth, and the smell of blood spread.

Not long after, he swallowed the fish eye, raised the remaining part of the fish to his lips, and began to gnaw on it.

"

With a scream of fear and blood splattering everywhere, the old man quickly devoured the fish.

After that, he raised his knife and caught another crab shell from the fishing net.

Thump thump thump ...

The old wooden board was like a chopping board for a chef. The old man sat cross-legged on the ground and skillfully dissected the aquatic product on the wooden dock. Amid the endless screams of the living, he gobbled it up.

Then, he picked a conger eel ...

Zongkui yueji and ning Wuye hid in the dark and watched silently.

At this moment, the two's faces were extremely serious. This old man was a ghost of the soul formation stage, and there seemed to be something wrong with the aquatic products that he was eating.

However, they had important matters to attend to at the moment, so they couldn't care about this ...

"I didn't see any sign of senior brother Fu." &Quot; senior brother Fu might not be here, " yueji said via voice transmission.

&Quot; this place is near the sea, " ning Wuye guessed. &Quot; it's very likely that this is the edge of the grave! &Quot;

Zongkui yueji nodded slightly, " "If this really is the edge of the you su tomb, then we can immediately try to see if we can get out now."

"If I can leave the grave here, I won't need to take the risk to find the power of law."

Ning Wuye replied,"that's right!" Let's give it a try. If it works, we'll immediately go back and tell the others."

"If it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways."

"We don't know how senior brother Fu is doing now. We can't waste any more time. Let's try now," said Zhongkui yueji telepathically.

&Quot; let's go around that ghostly creature first, " ning Wuye reminded him. &Quot; we'll fly out of the grave from another direction! &Quot;

At this point, the two of them quietly retreated into the fog.

The thick white mist once again wrapped around them, and the scenery in front of them became blurry again.

The Scarlet spiritual fire burned quietly, floating and circling. Occasionally, it pointed in a certain direction, leading them to avoid the passing ghosts.

With the dock as the center, they made a big circle and carefully continued to walk toward the sea.

However, after walking for a long time, they still didn't reach the seaside. They didn't even see a body of water.

Instead, he walked into a forest of towering dead trees.

These dead trees all had the momentum of rising into the sky and ravines. The withered and thick trunk was hidden in the fog, and the treetops could not be seen if one looked up. All the branches were full of large and small tree lumps, twisted and ferocious, emitting a strong Yin Qi and evil intent, which was creepy.

Upon seeing this, the two of them instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Ning Wuye immediately replied via voice transmission,"the sea we just saw is very vast!" By now, we should have already reached this position."

Zhongkui yueji stared at the compass in front of him. After observing it for a moment, he nodded slightly and transmitted a message, " "The direction is correct. We should be at the seaside now ..."

As he said that, the Scarlet spiritual fire in the surroundings suddenly flickered and pointed in the direction from which the two had come.

Ning Wuye and Zhongkui yueji immediately became alert. They quickly put away the compass and dodged to the side.

Soon, in the White mist, from the depths of the dead wood forest, a series of soft footsteps could be heard.

"Tap, tap, tap ..."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but they could not see any outline from the direction of the sound.

It was only when the footsteps were about to completely pass by the two that they suddenly realized something, and their gazes immediately fell from the sky to the ground.

In the mist, a pair of silk shoes walked lightly. On each of the shoes, there was a ball of fur the size of an infant's fist. As they walked, they trembled.

There was nothing on the silk shoe.

Wherever it passed, the gray-black frost and snow condensed like a tidal wave.

There was a gurgling sound and a sweet smell that followed the blood.

A faint singing voice was heard, " "Pingyang County's Zhongshu, long time Guangling Chen. I didn't expect that he lang would arrive, and spring would come again in the yellow Springs."

"I didn't expect that he lang would come, and spring will come again in the yellow spring ..."

"... See you again ... Ah ... Spring ..."

This song was like the gossamer in spring, unconsciously filling his heart.

As zongkui yueji and ning Wuye listened, their original vigilance disappeared without a trace. In its place was a heartfelt sorrow.

Just as they were in a daze, a jade pendant on Zhongkui yueji's waist shattered silently. The originally crystal clear, warm, and flawless Jade instantly turned into ashes.

At the same time, a cool and refreshing feeling enveloped his entire body. In an instant, it dispelled the sudden pain.

The sound of a sword returning to its sheath suddenly rang in ning Wuye's ears. His whole body trembled. The next moment, sword intent lingered in his eyes, but he immediately woke up.

The two of them had grave expressions on their faces. This ghostly being was very special! They almost fell for it!

Fortunately, the [ breath control technique ] was extremely effective, and the two were the successors of the nine great sects. They had all kinds of trump cards and defensive methods given to them by their Masters. Although they had almost been hit, they had not alarmed each other.

"Tap, tap, tap ..."

The silk shoes slowly left.

The two of them waited patiently in the dark until they could no longer hear or see the footsteps and singing. Then, they returned to the road.

"Since there's no problem with the direction, and this place is still you SU's grave ... It's possible that we can only see the sea in the land of laws just now!"

Ning Wuye nodded slightly and said, " "Then let's go back and take a look!"

As they spoke, the two of them followed the direction pointed out by the compass and headed towards the pier.
