Qingfeng Li frowned and asked, “Puppy, did these two spirit flowers mutate too?”

Black Puppy shook its head and explained, “Relax, they are a special variety that only grows in ghost fog. They contain powerful spirit energy and are rare treasures.”

“Alright, if they are this precious, I have to get them.” Qingfeng Li was determined.

“Miaoyi Jiang, hold Xue Lin for me and take good care of her. I’m going to grab the spirit flowers from the cliff.” Qingfeng Li told Miaoyi Jiang while handing Xue Lin to her.

Miaoyi Jiang nodded, reaching out her snow-white hands to embrace Xue Lin and look after her for Qingfeng Li.

She paid great attention since Xue Lin was Qingfeng Li’s wife.

Qingfeng Li had his plan handing over Xue Lin to Miaoyi Jiang.

She was from Planet Yue, one of the high-tier planets, and was in the Spirit Supreme Realm with even stronger combat abilities than Qingfeng Li. Xue Lin would be safe under her attention.

It would be extremely dangerous for Qingfeng Li to pick the spirit flower while bringing Xue Lin along with him.

After handing over his wife, Qingfeng Li was about to fly toward the cliff on the other side, when he was stopped by Black Puppy.

“Puppy, I need to get those spirit flowers quickly. Why are you stopping me?” Qingfeng Li asked Black Puppy with disappointment.

Black Puppy turned serious and didn’t let Qingfeng Li go. Instead, it pointed at the deep valley with its paw.

Qingfeng Li looked in the direction and saw nothing other than the black ghost fog coming from deep underground.

From his confused look, Black Puppy realized Qingfeng Li didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.

Black Puppy walked around and caught a rabbit, then threw it into the valley.

It was a lively rabbit. But when it entered the valley, a white claw reached out of the black fog, grabbing the rabbit and tearing it apart, scattering flesh and blood.

Qingfeng Li was shocked by the white claw.

It was not a human hand but a skeleton claw, without skin, flesh, or blood vessels, shining white light with a chilling aura.

Qingfeng Li shuddered and asked, “Puppy, are skeletons being reanimated?”

Black Puppy nodded and replied, “Qingfeng Li, I’m telling you, that is not a human or a demonic beast. It’s a skeleton spirit, which is also different from phantoms.”

Qingfeng Li was surprised by Black Puppy’s words. It was the first time he heard that humans could turn into skeleton spirits after death.

Qingfeng Li continued asking, “How can the remaining skeletons turn into spirits after the person dies? They don’t have minds or souls.”

Black Puppy turned surly and explained, “Bones, of course, can’t turn into spirits, but there are fierce ghosts under the valley. Once they find a skeleton to host them, they would become skeleton spirits.”

Qingfeng Li got it after the explanation.

He wondered how could bones have awareness and attack others. Now he understood it was because of those fierce ghosts.

They couldn’t be directly exposed in sunlight or show up on the land but could attach to other creatures or skeletons.

Many self-cultivators had the experience of being possessed by fierce ghosts to attack others.

Qingfeng Li walked aside and caught two powerful demonic beasts at the spirit emperor level.

One was a huge demonic snake; the other was a giant demonic lion.

He threw both of these demonic beasts into the valley.

The white skeleton claw showed up again, ate those two spirit emperor level demonic beasts and immediately turned their flesh and bones into its energy.

Qingfeng Li was astonished by this scene.

He wouldn’t be this surprised if normal demonic beasts were killed by the white skeleton claw. But these two were powerful beasts in the spirit emperor realm, so he didn’t expect they also couldn’t stand one strike from the skeleton claw.

Qingfeng Li realized the extreme danger under the valley. It would be utterly difficult to get through.

But he had to do this for Xue Lin.

“Puppy, Snake, you two stay here and protect Xue Lin with Miaoyi Jiang. I’ll take care of the rest,” Qingfeng Li told Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake.

However, they disagreed and tried to stop Qingfeng Li because they thought the valley ahead was too dangerous.

At last, they compromised under Qingfeng Li’s insistence and agreed to let him go as long as he took Black Puppy to protect him.

But Qingfeng Li still refused. He knew Black Puppy was not powerful enough to help him.

Qingfeng Li stomp hard on the ground, directly cracking the earth underneath and sending him flying into the air toward the black valley.

He felt a freezing breath when flying over the valley.

The breath delivered piercing coldness inside his body, making his whole-body tremble.

Qingfeng Li frowned and looked down, just in time to see a white skeleton claw reaching out from the depths of the black valley.

That white skeleton claw was extremely sharp with a bright light shining on it, and it grabbed right at Qingfeng Li’s heart.

Qingfeng Li took out the Fire Emperor Sword without a second thought.

He channeled his fire type vital essence and slashed the long sword downwards at the white skeleton claw with flame sword energy.

The flame mixed with sharp sword energy and crashed against the white skeleton claw, creating an ear-splitting noise.

The black fog in the entire valley started to boil, letting out terrifying cries from inside. The fierce ghosts obviously feared the flames and cried out painfully.
