 **Chapter 2794: Exploring the Path, Soul Worms**

Lin Moyu clearly felt all the information transmitted back by the Skeleton Generals.

The divine light brought heavy pressure, and the death energy corroded the flesh and soul.

However, the Skeleton Generals were different from ordinary people. As undead creatures, they were filled with death energy, which wouldn't harm them. The only pressure they had to endure was from the divine light.

But this pressure wasn't too strong and was still bearable.

If it were someone else, they would have to constantly use their own power to resist the death energy, and over time, no one could withstand it. The Skeleton Generals quickly reached the top of the first mountain, then crossed the peak and disappeared from sight, leaving a trail of footprints in the forest. As they descended the mountain, the divine light on them suddenly intensified.

The speed of the Skeleton Generals slowed down dramatically, and Lin Moyu frowned. The increase in pressure seemed abnormal.

For now, he could only move forward.

The Skeleton Generals ran down the barren mountains, continuing forward.

The mountains on both sides formed a canyon, composed of countless stones, creating a simple path.

These stones were very sturdy, and the Skeleton Generals left no footprints on them.

The Skeleton Generals leaped and ran between the stones, with the divine light growing stronger and the pressure increasing.

Gradually, the Skeleton Generals found it difficult to move.

Finally reaching the end of the canyon, a mist formed by the intertwining of divine light and death energy appeared in their sight.

The Skeleton Generals simultaneously stopped, and through their undead eyes, Lin Moyu saw soul flames flickering within the mist.

These soul flames were very weak, almost invisible if not looked at carefully.

However, upon seeing them, Lin Moyu felt a sense of danger.

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and he divided the ten Skeleton Generals into three groups.

Three Skeleton Generals each went to the left and right, climbing the cliffs towards the mountain tops.

They moved quickly, using both hands and feet.

The remaining four Skeleton Generals charged into the mist.

As soon as they entered the mist, the vision through the undead eyes became blurry, losing clarity.

The mist was so thick that they couldn't see themselves, and the Skeleton Generals could only run blindly forward.

The Skeleton Generals climbing the cliffs looked towards the mist.

However, the entire route beyond the canyon was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see through.

As they climbed halfway up the mountain, the divine light in the forest suddenly intensified.

The divine light struck the Skeleton Generals like fists, knocking them off the cliffs.

The death energy howled, turning into a gale that swept up the Skeleton Generals and threw them into the mist.

The entire process happened in an instant. The Skeleton Generals hit by the divine light were immobilized, unable to move, and could only watch as the death energy threw them into the mist.

Lin Moyu frowned and muttered to himself, "This path is impassable."

The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus heard him and asked curiously, "What do you mean, impassable?"

Lin Moyu replied, "Just what I said. I'll explain later."

He continued to control the Skeleton Generals, exploring the mist.

The Skeleton Generals thrown into the mist regained their mobility. Apart from the increasing weight pressing on them, there were no other changes.

What happened earlier seemed to indicate that only one path was viable.

After traveling through the mist for half a minute, the Skeleton Generals finally emerged.

Regardless of their speed or order, they all exited the mist simultaneously.

Surrounded by mountains and forests, the Skeleton Generals found themselves deep within the mountains, with divine light encircling the stone mountains.

Looking back, they saw no mist, only stone paths between the mountains.

Each Skeleton General was now alone, completely separated, and it was unclear how far apart they were.

Due to the interference of divine light and death energy, Lin Moyu couldn't accurately sense the positions of the Skeleton Generals.

His original plan to map the area using the Skeleton Generals was entirely thwarted.

The undead vision structure differed from normal vision, missing some details. However, undead vision was highly sensitive to souls.

As the Skeleton Generals surveyed their surroundings, they noticed that their bodies were covered in soul flames.

These soul flames had come from the mist, attaching themselves unnoticed as they entered.

The soul flames were actually tiny worms, moving between the divine light and death energy.

They were so small, smaller than the tiniest insects, and had no physical form, only souls.

Even with all his power, Lin Moyu's weakest soul strand was far stronger than these worms.

Without the undead eyes, he wouldn't have detected them.

"What are these soul worms trying to do?"

"I sense danger from them, but where is the danger coming from?"

Lin Moyu pondered while commanding the Skeleton Generals to continue forward.

At this point, direction no longer mattered, as their exact location was unknown. They could walk in any direction.

However, after giving the command, only six Skeleton Generals moved; the other four remained motionless.

Lin Moyu was slightly surprised. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He had experienced losing contact with Skeleton Generals before. When they were out of range, they lost control and didn't respond, which he understood.

But now, the Skeleton Generals hadn't lost contact, yet they were unresponsive.

As he pondered, another Skeleton General suddenly stopped, standing still and unresponsive.

When Lin Moyu connected his vision to the Skeleton General, he found the vision blurry, and the undead eyes seemed unusable.

"What's going on?"

Lin Moyu immediately switched to another controllable Skeleton General and used the undead eyes to carefully examine himself.

He discovered that the soul worms were moving as if they were eating something.

Their movements were so small that they were barely noticeable unless observed very closely.

Their mouths trembled continuously, as if chewing on something.

Gradually, Lin Moyu's vision blurred again, and the undead vision was affected.

The remaining Skeleton Generals also stopped one by one.

Lin Moyu had a rough idea: these soul worms could disrupt his connection with the Skeleton Generals, preventing him from controlling them properly.

"What a strange world."

"Let's try something else!"

With a thought, Lin Moyu commanded the last controllable Skeleton General to draw its sword.

The target wasn't an enemy but itself.

The sword energy swept over its body, but the soul worms were unharmed.

The sword energy had no effect. Lin Moyu thought for a moment and then unleashed a faint trace of life force.

The Skeleton Generals' spells also carried the power of the Undying Dao.

Usually, they only used death energy, rarely tapping into life energy.

In a place filled with death energy, the soul worms weren't afraid of death energy.

Since that was the case, he decided to use life energy.

Sizzle!

It was as if he saw green smoke rising. As soon as the soul worms touched the life energy, they were quickly dissolved.
