Shen Luo snorted and channeled all the mana in his body. His body glowed with green light and broke through the white smoke around him. He continued to move forward.
However, there was a lot of white smoke. He had to break through layer after layer. Every bit of distance he moved forward consumed a lot of mana.
Fortunately, he had advanced to the Out-of-Body Stage and his mana was strong. This amount of mana was nothing to him. If he was in the Fasting Stage, it would not be enough.
Just when he had consumed one-fifth of his mana, the white smoke in front of him disappeared. He felt his body become lighter and his speed increased.
In the next moment, Shen Luo's vision became clear again.
At this moment, he was standing on a barren mound. There were some continuous hills around him, and there was very little vegetation. It seemed a little desolate.
He looked back and saw a wall of fog behind him. It was connected to the sky and he could not see the end of it. It was similar to what he saw in the Village of Longevity.
The sky here was blue. It was different from the gray sky in the Village of Longevity. A few white clouds floated above and a sun hung in the west. The clouds nearby were dyed in a pale golden color.
"I'm really out!" Shen Luo looked around and could not help but feel excited. He took a deep breath.
The air outside seemed to be fresher than the air inside.
The blue sky and white clouds above his head, the desolate hills around him, these scenery that could be seen everywhere in the past, now looked exceptionally beautiful.
Shen Luo calmed himself down, and only then did he seriously examine his surroundings.
He was in a hilly area. There were a few low mountains in the distance. The terrain between the mountains seemed to be more flat.
He touched his chin and thought for a while. He did not immediately return to the Village of Longevity. Instead, he moved and rushed toward the mountains in front.
Shen Luo ran for about twenty to thirty miles. The terrain in front of him was flat. Soon, a vast wilderness appeared in front of him.
A lot of the land here had been reclaimed into farmland. However, many of the fields were abandoned, and only a few were planted with crops. As far as the eye could see, a few villages could be vaguely seen. Now that the sky was getting dark, a few wisps of smoke slowly rose from the villages, giving off the smell of smoke and fire.
Shen Luo heaved a sigh of relief and continued to move forward. Soon, he arrived at the nearest village.
At first glance, this village looked bigger than the Village of Longevity, but the village looked a little decadent. Most of the houses were empty, and many had already begun to collapse. It looked lifeless.
"Which village are you from? It's so late and you're still strolling outside. Aren't you afraid of being picked by those wild wolves? "A voice came from the front.
Shen Luo raised his head and saw a middle-aged man in a gray robe. He was about forty or fifty years old. He was holding a hatchet in his hand and carrying a bundle of firewood on his back. He was looking at Shen Luo curiously.
"Uncle, I am Shen Luo. I accidentally lost my way here and would like to ask for directions." Shen Luo cupped his hands towards the man.
"From outside? Little Brother, you've got guts. You've dared to go on a long journey in this world, "the middle-aged man put down the firewood on his back. He then sized up Shen Luo and said.
"I know some martial arts. It's enough for self-defense. How should I address Uncle? What village is this? "Shen Luo asked.
"My surname is Tian. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Tian. There are only two surnames in the village, Tian and Luo. That's why our village is called Tian Luo Village. "Tian Da chuckled. He seemed to have a friendly personality.
"Uncle Tian, your Tian Luo Village is not small, but how come it doesn't seem to have any people?" Shen Luo asked curiously.
"What else could it be? It's all because of those monsters!" Uncle Tian said bitterly.
"There are also monsters wreaking havoc here?" Shen Luo's eyes moved as he asked.
"In this world, how can there be no monsters? The monsters in the Eagle Beak Mountain in the west and the weasel in the Longxiang Ridge in the east will come out of the mountains from time to time to catch some cattle and sheep. Destroying some fields is considered light, but they also eat people! The capable people in the village have all moved to Willow Station City. There are immortal masters there, so monsters generally don't dare to come close. "Uncle Tian smiled bitterly. There was a trace of envy in his tone.
"Then isn't it more dangerous for the people who stay in the village? If the monsters come, how will you resist? "Shen Luo asked with a frown.
"We naturally can't resist. Fortunately, those immortal masters will come out regularly to clean up the monsters. Otherwise, we won't be able to survive. Even so, there are still cases of people and livestock going missing in the village from time to time. Let's not talk about it. Little brother, where are you going? "Uncle Tian shook his head and asked.
"I'm looking for a place called Longevity Village. I wonder if Uncle Tian has heard of it?" Shen Luo said.
"Longevity Village? You mean the village that was swallowed by the Heavenly Wolf hundreds of years ago? Oh, you can't go there! "Uncle Tian was startled when he heard this. Then, he revealed a look of horror and said while waving his hands.
"Uncle Tian, do you know where that place is?" Shen Luo immediately asked.
"I've heard from my ancestors that it's a village under the immortal mountain dozens of miles to the north. A few hundred years ago, a black Heavenly Wolf descended from the sky and swallowed the immortal mountain and the nearby Longevity Village. Now, that place is shrouded in a layer of white demonic fog. As long as people go near it, they won't be able to come out. Little brother, you must not go there!" Uncle Tian's eyes revealed a deep fear.
"Since I can't go there, I'll go to Willow Station City first. I don't know how to get there?" Shen Luo responded and asked.
"Willow Station City is northwest of our village. It's about seventy to eighty miles away from here. After you leave the village, go on the official road and go straight west. Then, you'll reach it." Uncle Tian pointed at the village entrance and said.
"Thank you, Uncle Tian, for your advice." Shen Luo solemnly cupped his hands and thanked him.
"It's just a matter of a few words. You don't have to thank me. You should go quickly. Although the demon wolves in Eagle Beak Mountain haven't come out recently, many ordinary wild wolves have started to appear in various places. It's very dangerous especially at night." Tian Da enthusiastically warned him. He carried the firewood and walked into the village.
Shen Luo looked at Uncle Tian's back and flicked his finger. A strand of mana flew out and silently entered the Blood Sea Meridian on Tian Da's right leg.
Tian Da only felt a slight heat near his right knee. A gust of hot air penetrated into it. The soreness in his knee caused by years of hard work was suddenly reduced by more than half.
"Eh!"
He stopped and moved his legs. It really didn't hurt at all. His knees and legs were warm and very comfortable.
Uncle Tian subconsciously turned around and looked back. Shen Luo, who was standing there just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen. His expression suddenly became shocked.
"Oh, could it be that I met an expert? Could it be an immortal master who came from afar? "He suddenly thought of something and muttered.
At this moment, Shen Luo's figure had already arrived outside Tian Luo Village. His face revealed a pondering expression.
