Jiang Ming had good self-control, but when he saw and smelled the rotting flesh, he could not help but want to vomit.
He decided to seal his sense of smell again.
Jiang Ming was speechless.
He thought that he would not have to seal his sense of smell after leaving Liang Shengsheng's place, but in the end, he did not escape this fate.
Zhu Dage, who was following Jiang Ming behind, never expected Jiang Ming to come to the mass grave. He was dumbfounded.
He understood that the mass grave was an extremely unlucky place that would bring misfortune to those who set foot in it.
Therefore, why was he here? Was there buried treasure here?
Zhu Dage thought about it and immediately became happy.
If he followed this kid, he might gain something.
After thinking it through, he pulled out a piece of cloth and placed it on his nose, tying it up.
He could not bear the stench. Moreover, the stench was putting him at a disadvantage.
He could not beat that kid in the first place, and now that he was injured, he had to be careful.
Jiang Ming felt that something was following him, but he did not have the heart to find trouble with that thing.
If he alarmed the Siming Bird when he was looking for trouble with this thing, then he would lose more than he gained. The most important thing now was to find the Siming Bird.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming did not pursue the thing behind him and directly looked for Siming Bird.
Jiang Ming could not even find a feather of other birds, let alone the Siming Bird itself, when he searched at the edge of the mass grave.
Jiang Ming stroked his chin and looked at the gloomy environment in the innermost area. He hesitated for a moment and walked in.
He was not afraid of what was in the deepest part of the mass grave, but he had a feeling that he would encounter something strange later.
Seeing that Jiang Ming walked in directly, it was Zhu Dage's turn to hesitate. Zhu Dage did not expect the kid in front of him to be so brave. He did not know if he should go in or not.
He had always heard of a legend in the depths of the mass grave.
Legend had it that there was a fox that prayed all day in the mass grave. The fox simultaneously looked and did not look like a human. However, as long as it saw a human, it would dig out the heart and organs of that person and use them to pay homage to what it prayed for.
Moreover, he heard that this fox cultivated very quickly and was now at the level of a Soul Formation Realm cultivator.
His current ability was not even at the Nascent Soul Realm!
However, when he saw that Jiang Ming's figure was gradually disappearing, Zhu Dage gritted his teeth and trotted over.
As he walked deeper, Jiang Ming heard singing. The singing was tragic and determined. It was as if the singer had experienced something bad.
The singing kept getting interrupted by the sounds of sobbing.
Jiang Ming did not feel anything when he heard it, but Zhu Dage felt that his ears were going deaf, and his whole body was uncomfortable.
His eyes became heavy. He felt unsteady on his feet. He felt his life slipping away bit by bit.
Jiang Ming did not care about the song and carefully searched for Siming Bird.
The thing that was singing in the dark realized that Jiang Ming did not have any reaction to the song. It could not help but get angry and immediately used switched tactics.
A cluster of blue flames floated around Jiang Ming's body, trying to approach his ears.
Jiang Ming was originally looking for the nest where the Siming Bird rested, but he felt something beside him. He slapped it directly.
The ghost flame was instantly shaken by the slap. It was split into two, and the half formed a new ghost flame.
Sensing that he disturbed something, Jiang Ming looked over and noticed the ghost flames.
"Where did you guys come from?"
He was not afraid at all. Instead, he was curious.
However, as the ghost flames gradually approached, Jiang Ming also knew that these ghost flames came with ill intentions, and he immediately became worried.
He did not know if he could defeat this group of ghost flames with his spiritual energy.
However, he had no choice but to bite the bullet now. Jiang Ming clenched his fists and directly aimed at a ghost flame to release his spiritual energy.
The ghost flame immediately stomped its feet in pain and disappeared on the spot.
This ghost flame was a part of the body of the thing that emitted the ghost flame. After being messed with by Jiang Ming, they immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, but they did not shout out. Instead, they released more ghost flames to push this ghost flame to move forward.
Zhu Dage was not very scared. He could barely see the situation in front of him. Due to Jiang Ming's efforts, he had nothing to be afraid of.
Jiang Ming had already killed one ghost flame, so he was no longer afraid of the other ghost flames that came over. He directly used his spiritual energy on the approaching ghost flames one by one.
Along with Jiang Ming's actions, the ghost flames disappeared one by one, and they even let out howls of pain.
With the ghost flame incident, Jiang Ming gradually realized that some creature was playing tricks nearby.
He suspected that something had been following him and ran toward it.
As he ran over, Jiang Ming also discovered Zhu Dage, who was following him. He happened to bump into the latter.
Zhu Dage did not expect to meet Jiang Ming. He panicked and turned around to escape.
Jiang Ming noticed a white shadow disappearing quickly and immediately grabbed Zhu Dage's collar.
Zhu Dage thought that he had done something wrong and quickly begged for mercy. "Please let me go. It's all my fault. Don't let me die. I have my parents and children to take care of. I can't take this."
He was so afraid that he wet himself.
Since he had sealed his sense of smell, Jiang Ming did not smell it. However, he could sense what had happened. He was a little incredulous. "I didn't want to kill you. What happened between us before is in the past. Now, we are facing a new problem."
"What problem?"
Zhu Dage was still confused and could not help but ask curiously.
Seeing that Zhu Dage was ignorant, Jiang Ming lowered his voice and said even more incredulously, "Didn't you notice that this mass grave is a little strange? Didn't you hear any singing just now?"
"I heard it. When the song started, I felt like I was going to die. I only felt a little better after you got rid of the ghost flame," Zhu Dage replied.
He felt that he could not get out now. Even if he separated from Ning Caichen, he would still die.
He might as well stay by Ning Caichen's side now. Ning Caichen might even be able to save his life.
Zhu Dage's words reminded Jiang Ming of something. "It seems that someone wants to attack us. Do you know anything else? Tell me everything."
