Gao Yi's brows were tightly furrowed. Under Gong Xinran's pleading gaze, he hesitated for a long while before saying unwillingly, "Forget it! This lady is a Spirit Cultivation Realm spirit master and can make up for what the few of us lack. That Dark Chill Tiger can also be of help. You can follow, but you have to listen to my instructions … "
Gong Xinran was instantly delighted, forcefully pulling Zong Shou and Chu Xue into the group of martial cultivators.
Zong Shou was speechless. He wanted to say that the Zong Shou of today wasn't the Zong Shou of the past and didn't need anyone to protect him. However, for some reason, he didn't reject, instead opening his mouth, "Thank you senior sister! Oh right, I wonder if Senior Sister has been well these past two years? "
Gong Xinran smiled and subconsciously looked at Gao Yi's back. "It's not good, but it's not bad! These two years, I have followed senior brother Gao around the eastern cities. We have been to many places and have seen many things. One really doesn't know how big the world is. Even in Donglin Cloud Continent, you and I are like a drop in the ocean. In the past, when we were in Linhai College, we were like frogs in a well. Luckily, senior brother Gao is calm and experienced. Although he comes from a big family, he takes good care of me. "
Her eyes were filled with sweetness and happiness. Zong Shou only felt like his heart was pierced by a needle, extremely tragic. Even when he was cultivating and his dual meridian body acted up, it wasn't as painful as today.
He laughed bitterly to himself. In his last life, he had tasted the feeling of being heartbroken once. He originally thought that he would never have such a feeling of loss and sadness. Who knew that in this life, he would be able to passively experience it once more. The jealousy and pain in his heart was really annoying, but he couldn't get rid of it.
Suddenly, he felt his body turn cold, only to feel a cold gaze filled with killing intent looking over from not far away. Zong Shoxin's heart turned cold as he looked over. Where his gaze passed, there was nothing unusual. He was also unable to discern where that gaze came from. Neither was it Qi Nu, who had spoken rudely to him before.
Could it be an illusion? Am I overthinking things?
Zong Shou pondered for a moment and felt that something was amiss. He carefully looked at the people in front of him, but he still didn't find anything unusual. In the end, he suppressed this doubt and buried it in the bottom of his heart.
Gao Yi made some arrangements, and the group continued to move forward. A few Mythic Masters guarded at the front, and the Dark Chill Tiger also joined in. Gong Xinran, Zong Shou, and Chu Xue walked at the back. What was surprising was that Gao Yi was also with those Mythic Masters. He was a Martial Master and had a Grade Three Wolf Type Protector Beast. When he occasionally made a move, his strength was actually similar to those Mythic Masters, perhaps even stronger! His figure was strong and fit, and he indeed had the ability to make girls fall in love with him.
After walking awkwardly for a while, Zong Shou realized that this situation was not bad. In this group of people, he was basically an idle person, and he didn't need to do anything. He was so relaxed that he didn't need to think about going around to avoid those beasts. Anyway, that Gao Yi had never counted on his combat ability.
As for Chu Xue, she only needed to use her mind to command the Dark Chill Tiger to fight at the front. Occasionally, she would use spells like Light Body, Clear Eyes, and Strengthening Body to buff those Mythic Masters.
It could train her spells and also strengthen her coordination with her first Protector Beast.
Their speed was only a little slower than when the two of them were traveling alone. In just half a day, they had walked eighty miles and were close to the middle of Blood Valley. As for that Dark Chill Tiger, Chu Xue was still a little unfamiliar with controlling it at the start, but now their minds were connected, and its actions were natural and casual, even more ferocious.
Gong Xinran was a little surprised, turning around and asking curiously, "Is Junior Brother's body already better? After walking for so long, you aren't even panting. I remember that in the past, you would be tired after walking for thirty minutes. Just now, I thought you were going to rest … "
Zong Shou wasn't surprised. His Wind Traveling Spirit Bone was hidden close to his body, and the spiritual energy of the wind element beast crystal only circulated within. Spirit Cultivation Realm spirit masters wouldn't be able to notice it.
At this moment, he didn't explain, only slightly nodding his head as a silent agreement. Then, he looked at the few Mythic Masters in front of him with a weird expression, probing, "Did Senior Brother Gao invite these Mythic Masters? What's their background? "
Before this, he already felt that these few people weren't ordinary, and now that feeling was even stronger.
Not only were their attacks fierce, but when they worked together, they had great chemistry with one another. Their martial techniques were all open, and they were obviously from the military. As for Gao Yi, they were also really experienced.
Although they weren't as experienced as him, they avoided a large portion of the beasts and beast hordes.
"I don't know!" Gong Xinran shook her head, "A few days ago, after Senior Brother found out that my ancestor fell in Blood Valley, he specially sent a letter to summon them. They are either his friends or his subordinates. Anyways, they are really strong, and normal Mythic Masters of the same grade aren't their opponents! "
Sōmorime's eyes flashed, and he didn't ask anymore. In his heart, he agreed. Such people, any three of them would be able to kill Burning Sword Wu Wei on the spot. Even Yin Yang, who was at the eighth meridian of the Bodily Chakra level, might not be able to escape unscathed under the combined efforts of the six of them.
However, thinking about it, it wasn't weird. As the young master of the Gao family, how could Gao Yi not have any capable people protecting him?
Even if it was himself, Zong Shou didn't believe that apart from Yin Yang, Zong Weiran didn't arrange anyone else to protect him in the dark.
Temporarily putting down his worries, Zong Shoxin's heart was filled with wariness.
Maybe it was because the strength of this group was really strong. Along the way, apart from a few Grade Three beasts and a group of Tooth Wolves, which brought them some problems, the rest of the beasts were all fine. The rest of the time, everything was smooth sailing.
It was only when a huge mountain piercing through the clouds in the distance came into view, only a few li away, that the situation suddenly became tense.
There weren't any Grade Two beasts here, and they were all Grade Three and above. Luckily, there weren't many of them, and they were spread out widely. However, as long as they met, they would fight to the death. Some beasts liked to form groups, and were the most problematic.
"This is the Demon Corpse Mountain!"
Walking to the foot of the giant mountain, Gong Xinran suddenly looked at the peak of the mountain in a daze, "Legend has it that this mountain was formed after that alien race cultivator died. This place can turn even the kindest person into a bloodthirsty evil person. It can also cause experts above the ascended realm to not dare to get close. Legend has it that this place has numerous treasures from the desolate era. The experts of the Cloud World all coveted it. "
Zong Shou was silent. Blood Valley and Demon Corpse Mountain were both intermediate beginner regions. However, twenty years later, it would be one of the top high level dungeons in the God Emperor game. To enter, one would at least need to be at the ascended realm after opening the heaven chakra.
However, at that time, he came here in the virtual world to kill monsters and level up, as well as the treasures and equipment within.
To truly come here and be together with the people from ten thousand years ago. Only then could he truly feel the huge pressure of this Demon Corpse Mountain, as well as the respect and complicated emotions the people of Donglin Cloud Continent had for this mountain.
As Gong Xinran said this, she gave out a self-mocking laugh, "My ancestor most probably took the risk to come here for those legendary treasures. Who knows where he fell, and can we find it this time?"
Zong Shou was about to speak when he suddenly heard Chu Xue exclaim. His brows furrowed as he looked over. He saw a grey shadow flying towards him from the right.
That shadow could be seen, it was the shape of a rat, below its ribs were bat wings. Its speed was as swift as an arrow, in just a blink of an eye it was right in front of him.
Chu Xue at the side was originally preparing a spell. At this moment, she wanted to stop and save him, but it was too late.
Zong Shou's eyes instantly turned cold, his right hand pressing down on the brand new Pine Pattern Wind Sword by his side. The reason why he retracted his aura was to avoid attracting those beasts. He didn't have any intention of hiding his strength.
