Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Chapter 340: Land of Fortune

Gu Chi couldn't persuade them and could only nod in agreement. As for the three small bandits Murong Zhixiu, Li Wangcen and Zuo Shiji, as well as Jiang Chong, Zhao Shuo and Zhang Zhen, they stayed outside to pick them up.

Gu Chi, Tuoba Cang and the big black dog were running at high speed among the mountains. After crossing the field of bones, the front was still a snow-white area, all of which was powder made from corpses and bones, and occasionally some broken bones could be seen in it.

Moreover, as soon as they stepped in here, they immediately felt a biting chill, as if they had entered Shura Purgatory.

Countless corpses and bones have weathered into powder. These are definitely not bones from this world, but the accumulation over a long period of time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the pile to be so deep.

The yin energy was surging, and the air was icy and bone-chilling. Even strong bodies like Gu Chi and the big black dog felt extremely uncomfortable walking here.

"Here, there's an inexplicable rule that seems to slowly erase human flesh and blood. No wonder the further you go in, the less flesh and blood there is, until everything turns to bones or ashes."

"We're almost there. If there's anything strange, it should be just ahead."

At the end of this field of bones, the space was distorted and blurry, with strange lights flickering.

Obviously, it was a mysterious and strange area, and it was guarded by a magic circle.

Suddenly, a faint voice was heard in front of this gloomy and silent Jedi.

"help me!"

Gu Chi and the others approached carefully and found that it was a young woman, and Tuoba Cang knew her as they had met her once before.

When the young woman saw Gu Chi and the others, she opened her mouth with difficulty. However, her lips, which had long been rotten, could not utter a single word. Her eyes gradually became dim, and even the last trace of her soul dissipated.

"How could he die suddenly?" The big black dog was horrified.

Gu Chi and Tuoba Cang both looked solemn. This woman was quite powerful and had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, but she still died here.

The woman's body had already decayed in many places, but Gu Chi noticed something unusual. He found that there were blood holes in the woman's chest, throat, eyebrows and other fatal places. The flesh and organs inside were also charred, as if they had been struck by lightning.

"Something's wrong! Back off!"

Gu Chi suddenly became alert and shouted loudly. At the same time, he put his fingers together like a knife and slashed out a purple, cold and sharp edge. With a "puff" sound, he cut off the woman's head, and the rotten pulp splashed, which was extremely pungent.

"Buzz!"

A tiny black dot as small as a drop of water splashed towards Gu Chi's left eye, but Gu Chi, who had a keen sense of perception, heard a sound of flapping wings.

"Duh!"

Gu Chi let out a light shout, and the protective light curtain automatically propped up itself. Strands of golden silk threads from autumn silkworms surrounded her body, isolating the small black dot like a water droplet from getting close to her. It also caused its body to shake violently and fall to the ground with a thud.

This is a bug, as black as ink, the size of a mosquito, with several pairs of transparent wings and a sharp thorn on its mouth, emitting bursts of coldness.

"What kind of insect is this?"

Tuoba Cang and the big black dog both squatted down and stared at the insect that had been torn into pieces, unable to tell what species it was.

"This shouldn't be the main culprit that caused so many people to die here. It's too weak." Gu Chi made a judgment. She just sensed that there was a living creature lurking in the young woman's head, but she didn't expect it to be such a fragile little insect.

In front, the space is slightly distorted, and there is a magic circle isolating the area behind.

This time, Big Black Dog, the grandmaster of formations, was accompanying them, but unfortunately, he was of no use because there was a gap that allowed them to enter without wasting any more time trying to break it.

The huge formation stretched across the area, blocking the way ahead. In that twisted gap, wisps of soft light flowed out, and the two men and the dog walked forward together.

When they stepped into the world within the formation, the scenery of heaven and earth changed drastically in an instant.

It was completely different from what they had imagined. They thought it would be a Jedi shrouded in endless darkness, full of gloom and ominousness, but it turned out not to be the case.

Threads of auspicious auras descended from the void, and all kinds of divine lights flowed between heaven and earth. This was a brilliant and resplendent world, shone with holy light, and it did not look like a dangerous or desolate place at all. Instead, it seemed like one had come to a sacred and peaceful pure land.

"A sacred tree! A sacred tree!"

Tuoba Cang showed a look of surprise. Just ahead, there were dozens of ancient trees.

The trunk is as vigorous as a dragon, the branches and leaves are emerald green, and it bears plump and crystal-clear fruits that sparkle and bloom, exuding a vigorous breath of life.

“I actually came here…”

Gu Chi was surprised. She had seen this place before. Not long ago, she had seen several sacred and extraordinary places from afar, including this sacred forest.

Dozens of sacred trees are connected together, with auspicious light hanging down to the ground, looking gorgeous and peaceful.

"What a great fortune!" Tuoba Cang couldn't calm down, even his voice was trembling. He originally thought that this was a desperate place where one would be able to survive, but he didn't expect to encounter such a great fortune.

Of course, while they were excited, they did not let down their guard, because the scenes they saw along the way were too horrifying, with corpses everywhere and mountains of bones. There was probably some invisible murderous intent hidden here.

Gu Chi held up her innate vision, and a holy and hazy moon appeared above her head, casting down its holy moonlight, covering the two of them and the dog.

Afterwards, Gu Chi erected another layer of protective light curtain, and strands of golden silk from autumn silkworms surrounded his body, almost pushing the defense to the extreme.

"You all follow closely behind me."

Gu Chi walked in front, while Tuoba Cang and the big black dog followed closely behind her.

After walking forward for a distance, the sacred atmosphere became stronger. Watching it from a distance is one thing, and experiencing it up close is another.

These sacred trees are all very tall, with trunks as vigorous as dragons and as white as jade. Even the cracked old bark is crystal clear and has a smooth texture, and the green leaves are blooming with auspicious clouds.

Those rays of light connected together and fell down like rainbows, or like strings of galaxies hanging down from the sky, brilliant and colorful.

This place is filled with a majestic life force. Taking a deep breath, all the pores in the body relax, and a huge amount of essence is poured into the body, flowing through every limb and bone, nourishing every inch of flesh and blood.

Every branch of the sacred tree is laden with plump fruits, blooming with brilliance.

Dozens of ancient trees glowed brightly, interweaving to form a dazzling light curtain, blocking the essence and fragrance of the divine fruit from leaking out. However, Gu Chi and the others standing here could still smell some of the refreshing fragrance, like drinking fine wine, almost making them drunk.
