NOVEL WEB Chapter 620: You've all lost your mind, haven't you?
When Gu Heng arrived at Mingyuan Mountain, it was already dawn.
The wandering ghosts in the Forbidden Zone of the Dead Souls will not be harmed by the sunlight, but they seem to particularly hate the sunlight, so they have long since found places where they are not exposed to the sunlight and have all shrunk up.
Seeing this, he also extinguished the Primordial Soul Lamp and put it away.
"Are those practitioners here?"
Gu Heng stood not far from Mingyuan Mountain and looked around, but there was no sign of human activity. He could only continue to search deeper.
After entering the mountain, we wandered around for about an hour or two. It was already bright as the sun, but we still couldn't see any ghosts.
Gu Heng walked further forward and finally saw the "traces of human activities" he wanted.
To be precise...
It's a dead person.
There was a bonfire that had gone out, and there seemed to be five or six corpses beside it. Gu Heng couldn't really tell them apart, as there were only bones left without any flesh or blood. It seemed as if they had been eaten cleanly and shared, leaving the ground in a mess.
"Oh, how miserable!"
Gu Heng shook his head.
Although he was considered a veteran who had experienced many storms, he always felt uncomfortable when he saw these poor creatures being eaten until nothing was left of their flesh and blood.
It seems that those wandering ghosts are not without threats. He has the Honghuang Soul Lamp, which makes no difference whether it is day or night, and he is safe. But other people cannot enjoy this good luck.
The existence of the system did benefit him after all.
Continuing forward, when they reached the middle of the mountain, Gu Heng heard the conversation directly, but it seemed that the other party also heard his footsteps, so he asked: "Who is outside?!"
Gu Heng stopped.
He was very familiar with this voice.
"Miss Fei'er, I'm Gu Heng."
The other party was silent for a moment, and then he saw two figures running out from the entrance of a cave. As expected, it was Bai Feier, but the other person, Gu Heng, was a little surprised.
It's that fellow Taoist Li Feiyue.
But this is not surprising. Although Li Feiyue said that she is a "lone cultivator", everyone hopes to find a companion in a place like this.
Gu Heng just wanted to take Bai Feier away from this place of trouble as soon as possible. Everything was a scam and a conspiracy. Staying here would only serve as food for the Dead Soul Witch King who had the strength of an Immortal!
He couldn't control others, but he had to help Bai Fei'er.
He was also prepared. It would be even better if he could meet Li Feiyue. If not, he could only observe a two and a half minute silence for the misfortune of this fellow Taoist.
"Master Gu! You are actually here!"
Bai Fei'er looked a little tired and not very energetic, but she was very happy to see herself as if she had seen a savior.
"Miss Fei'er, where are the others?"
"They...all went to fight on their own."Bai Fei'er looked a little depressed: "After coming here, I felt something was wrong. The ghostly aura here is too strong. There are evil ghosts roaming around at night. There are even resentful ghosts with immortal cultivation level wandering around. It is an extremely dangerous place!"
"I originally planned to let my disciples of the Wanjian Immortal Sect stick together, and also wanted to bring other people along, so that it would be easier to deal with weaker resentful ghosts. But these days, as we kill more and more evil ghosts, their souls are also becoming stronger..."
"So, everyone started to oppose my idea of avoiding the war, stopped listening to my orders, and left."
At this point, Bai Fei'er's face showed bitterness.
There is no way.
Although the nights were indeed terrifying when she first arrived at Xiaoxuantian Realm, she actually lost more than a dozen disciples at the beginning. They had no choice but to stick together, after all, there was no telling how many dangers there were in this filthy place.
But.
After killing the evil spirits wandering the wasteland.
However, everyone could sense that their strength was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Moreover, it seems that he is getting stronger too quickly!
Not only has the soul become stronger, it seems that even the cultivation level is growing by leaps and bounds!
Of course.
Everyone just thought of this as a "trial", a new round of trials.
Danger is certainly there, just like the Holy Dragon Cave, but what if we give up on taking the initiative and just watch others grow in strength by leaps and bounds just because of the danger?
That can't be done.
Watching others progress faster than you is more painful than death.
Therefore, hunting ghosts became something that everyone wanted to do.
Bai Fei'er was naturally extremely alert, because the "Xianque" sword in her hand was reminding her that there was a very dangerous aura lurking in this area. She could not stay there for long and must leave as soon as possible, so she did not lose her composure because of the sudden increase in strength.
But others are not like that.
Everyone was willing to listen to her only because when they first arrived here, they were a little confused and disorganized, so it was nice to have someone to lead them.
So, after they realized what kind of "opportunity" this place could bring them, they became very unhappy with Bai Feier who was wary of fighting.
For every first person to leave, there will be a second.
Bai Fei'er couldn't stop them.
Stopping others from becoming stronger is no less than killing their parents.
"...Have your disciples left too?"
Gu Heng discovered that Bai Feier had many disciples who obeyed her blindly before. It was fine if those unfamiliar people didn't listen to her, but why did even those disciples not listen to her and just ran away?
That's awesome!
This place is so dangerous that even if someone is willing to protect it, he would rather go and experience it himself.
Then Gu Heng can only say that he respects the fate of others~
