Chapter 256: Opportunity Appears
Chapter 256: Opportunity Appears
Changqing glanced around and after not finding any more black shadows, the two of them prepared to leave and just mounted Jiaocang.
"Bara~"
The sharp sound of iron friction came again from the same direction. Chang Qing frowned and endured the teeth-grinding sound.
Then the crisp sound of iron chains was heard, as if some huge mechanism was being activated.
But the sound of iron friction continued, as if reminding everyone that there was something there.
The sound of the iron chain only lasted for half a moment before disappearing. The moment it disappeared, a slender white beam of light pierced the sky from the far distance. The appearance of the white beam of light further proved that that was the destination of this trip.
"Brother, let's go and take a look?" Jiao Cang looked at the slender beam of light, eager to try.
"Let's go!" Changqing responded, and Jiaocang rushed out at an extremely fast speed, heading towards the source of the harsh sound.
After the two left, a black fog suddenly rose from the ground. The smoke quickly condensed into a black figure, watching the two leave.
“*…%¥*&@…¥”
The black shadow chattered a lot, then turned into black smoke and dissipated again.
At the same time, all the people who entered this gray area saw the huge column of light in the sky and the echoing harsh iron sound. They endured the auditory discomfort and rushed towards that place.
For a moment, light and shadows flickered in the black forest. There were also people who wanted to endure the murderous intent in the sky and wanted to seize the initiative. There were quite a few such people. The lights in the sky were different, but some of them did not fly far in that direction before they exploded silently into a ball of blood mist.
Soon someone discovered something was wrong. It seemed that they could no longer fly in the air. After this, everyone started to walk obediently through the woods towards the beam of light.
Even though Jiao Cang was carrying only one person, his speed was still very fast and he soon surpassed most of the others. However, they had not been going for long when the two of them discovered something was wrong and there was a faint murderous intent emerging in the air.
The murderous intent was exactly the same as that in the sky, and here it had even spread to the ground. Chang Qing had a bad feeling.
After walking forward for half a moment, they had already gone ten miles deep into the atmosphere of murderous intent. The murderous intent here was even stronger, which made people alert. What on earth was there in that column of light?
"Brother, shall we continue moving forward?" Jiao Cang hesitated, as if he also sensed that something was wrong.
"Let's go!" Chang Qing uttered a word softly, as if he had made up his mind.
Jiao Cang nodded. Chang Qing's words seemed to always have a kind of magic that made him feel at ease, as if everything that followed would no longer be a problem.
Chang Qing looked serious. He certainly didn't want to die, but the drop of blood on his heart told him that something of his was there.
There is something that cannot be lost, like a child looking forward to the arrival of his mother.
Jiao Cang's speed increased a bit. The wind and murderous intent mixed together and blew on his face, like a soft knife, causing pain.
The two figures disappeared in the endless black forest.
On the other side, the people from the Yuling Sect also followed the sound and walked for several miles. When they arrived here, some of them could no longer bear the murderous intent in the air and their faces turned pale.
The treasure-hunting mouse Xiaoguai in Ran Ruo's arms curled up into a ball, trembling and squeaking, and even peed its pants out of fear, leaving a puddle of water on Ran Ruo's chest.
Ran Ruo said to Yun Qinghan:
“Senior Sister Yun, Xiaoguai has been very excited since a while ago, pointing in that direction, implying that there is a huge treasure there.
But after arriving here, Xiaoguai became like this. Xiaoguai has been trying to stop us from passing through. It seems that where there are treasures, there are also great terrors. "
Yun Qinghan and Zhong Baixuan looked at each other, then walked aside and whispered a few words.
After returning, Yun Qinghan said to everyone solemnly:
"I know that all the junior brothers and sisters came here for that opportunity and that treasure. Everyone has heard what Junior Sister Ran Ruo said just now. There may be unknown dangers waiting for us there. The astonishing murderous intent in the air is proof of this.
As practitioners pursuing the way to immortality, treasures are certainly important, but we also need to understand the principle of "acting within our means and being cautious."
As a spiritual animal, Xiaoguai is naturally sensitive to spiritual creatures and dangers, so its reaction at this moment is by no means aimless."
Seeing everyone's eyes flickering, knowing that they were unwilling to give up, Zhong Baixuan said:
“I know you don’t want to watch the opportunity that is within your grasp fly away, but the gains from this trip are already considerable. When you return to the sect, the resources you can obtain will definitely not be comparable to those of previous missions.
Not to mention how strong the killing potential there is, but you have to know that there is only one chance. You know how many disciples from major forces have come in this time.
Once the war starts, Junior Sister Qinghan and I won’t be able to protect ourselves, let alone you! Do you think you can protect yourselves? "
No one responded, and many people showed a bitter look on their faces. Zhong Baixuan pointed out the situation of everyone incisively. If they stayed here, they would not only gain a lot of benefits, but at least they would still be alive.
Either go and fight for the opportunity, but there is a 99% chance that you will not only get nothing, but also lose your life.
For a moment, everyone was discouraged, even Ran Ruo, and had to stop.
Yun Qinghan nodded to everyone and said, "In that case, you should stay here and wait for us to come back."
Yun Qinghan turned around and looked at the people who went with him, and said with a serious face:
"Since you are going with me, I have to say a few more words. We can't rush into anything. If the situation is not right, we must withdraw immediately. Treasures are secondary, and life is the most important. Do you understand~"
"I know~" A dozen people including Ling Yu shouted softly, with Zhong Baixuan taking the lead and the others quickly following.
There were also many disciples from the second and third rank forces who were left behind because they could not hold on due to the murderous intent.
The remaining elite disciples cultivated themselves with all their might, resisting the strong wind and moving forward quickly.
The murderous intent grew stronger, and the sound of unlubricated metal friction became more and more harsh, making people feel inexplicably irritated.
Gradually, some disciples from powerful forces quickly rushed to the front of the team with their powerful strength.
However, most people looked heavy-hearted. As they went dozens of miles deeper, the strong wind became more and more violent, blowing the corners of clothes and hitting people, causing them more and more pain. Even with their level of cultivation, it became a little difficult to resist.
There were also disciples from the third-grade forces with low cultivation who thought that the strong wind was just a bluff, so they did not resist and let the strong wind blow on themselves and moved forward quickly.
When this person felt the pain in his body was unbearable, he looked at his body and found that only a skeleton was left standing. His flesh and blood had been stripped away. He wanted to scream, but he had no organs to make sounds. As he went blind, he remembered nothing.
When people passed by, they just took a look and left. No one paid attention, no one sympathized, and no one looked down on me.
They choose their own path, and having chosen it, they must bear all possible costs along the way. Perhaps one day their bodies will be like this, falling here, with no one paying attention to them. This is the cruelty of the path of cultivation, and they have already prepared themselves mentally.
