"Must we return to the Immortal Crystal Canyon and enter the black underground ruins?"
Chu Chen's eyes darkened.
"According to my understanding, even I am unable to deal with this strange curse. I can only find the source of the curse and see if I can find a way out. As long as I understand the source of the curse, I still have a thirty percent chance of being able to remove this curse. Or perhaps, the source of the curse has a treasure that can remove the curse."
The little hamster squinted its eyes and said.
"Hmm, I'm thinking of something."
Chu Chen pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Is it about the black underground ruins?"
"That's right. I'm thinking that the black underground ruins emitting the curse might be the ultimate treasure suppressed by the great formation of the Immortal Crystal Ancient Mountain."
Chu Chen said slowly.
"Now that you mention it, it does seem possible. That super evil treasure that has existed in the ancient immortal crystal mountain for millions of years, the treasure that can make the thick fog turn evil by the energy that seeps out of the guardian formation, could really be in the black relic."
The little hamster's eyes lit up.
At this time, Chu Chen already had a plan in mind. He stopped the group and told them his decision.
The group of cultivators was dumbfounded. They never thought that they would have to go back after escaping with great difficulty.
"What a joke! We just escaped from the mine with great difficulty, and now we have to go back to our deaths? Those people from the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team must be overjoyed! "
"The black ancient ruins are the source of the curse outbreak! If we go back, I'm afraid we'll enter the place where the curse is the strongest. We'll be dead by then! "
"If we run, we still have a chance to escape from this foggy area and find someone to lift the curse. If we go back, we'll be courting death! "
Several cultivators who took the lead to speak were unwilling to go back to the Immortal Crystal Canyon even if they were beaten to death.
Most of the cultivators were silent. Although they didn't want to go back to the Immortal Crystal Canyon, they knew that in this foggy world, following Chu Chen was the best way to survive.
"It's not entirely impossible to escape from this foggy area and find someone to dispel the curse. After all, the fortune of the Lesser Immortal Plane has created many peerless experts."
Ye Man, who was in Chu Chen's arms, had woken up at some point. Although she looked a little haggard, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.
"However, I'm sure everyone knows very well that it's all because of Chu Chen that we've been able to struggle in this foggy world until now. If you choose a different path from Chu Chen and are confident that you can walk out of the foggy world, you can naturally walk on your own."
Ye Man's pleasant voice reverberated in the air. Everyone fell silent and looked at each other.
Since it was a matter of life and death, everyone was extremely cautious.
Those cultivators who were unwilling to return to the Immortal Crystal Canyon were also silent as they looked at each other.
"How about this?"
Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Chu Chen raised his voice slightly and said, "Those who choose to go back with me, we will go back to the ancient stone temple and find a way to break the ancient curse. Those who want to find another way to survive can leave together and think of a way to escape from this foggy area. If you escape, you might be rescued. "
The cultivators paused. At this point, there was no time to hesitate.
Those cultivators who felt that they would definitely die if they returned to the Immortal Crystal Canyon exchanged glances. A middle-aged blue robed cultivator stood out.
He cupped his hands towards Chu Chen. "Since it's like this, thank you for taking care of us along the way. The thirteen of us choose to try our own luck. Brother Chu, you've led us for so long, I reckon we're almost at the edge of the foggy world. We've decided to take a gamble."
Chu Chen looked at them and nodded.
"Brother Chu, you've been protecting us in the foggy world. If we can leave this place alive, we'll definitely repay you the next time we meet you. At the same time, I hope that you'll be lucky enough to return and find a way to break the curse. We'll part ways here. "
Chu Chen nodded and cupped his hands. "Be careful along the way. If you head east, you'll have a higher chance of leaving the foggy world."
These dozen people bowed to Chu Chen in unison, then flew towards the east without looking back, disappearing into the white mist in the blink of an eye.
Everyone went their separate ways.
The remaining thirty or so people firmly chose to return to the foggy mine with Chu Chen. They wanted to return to the source of the curse to find a way to break it.
"You … You still remember the way back, right?"
Ye Man, who was leaning in Chu Chen's arms, asked softly with a smile.
They could only search a radius of a few hundred feet in the fog. They had been to many places along the way. If they couldn't even find the way back, then they would be completely lost in this foggy area.
"Don't worry, I have a way to find the way back."
Chu Chen indeed had a way to find the way back. This time, when he left the foggy mine, he had made preparations. Along the way, he had placed traces of Heavenly Fire.
Those traces of Heavenly Fire were very faint and didn't have any lethality. However, it was enough to serve as a road sign in this foggy area.
Therefore, the speed at which Chu Chen brought the cultivators back was much faster than when they escaped. Because of these road signs, Chu Chen could even take a shortcut.
Of course, Chu Chen didn't dare to take a shortcut that was too big. After all, in this foggy world, the unknown was the most terrifying thing.
However, the foggy world wasn't static. The fog was constantly changing. Since it was the same area, at different times, the fog would be more violent or calm.
On the way back, Chu Chen clearly found that the fog was more violent than before.
The turbulent and rolling fog was endless. It evolved into all kinds of strange and inexplicable illusions in the surroundings. It made people feel a chill from the depths of their hearts.
Death followed them like a shadow.
"Ah!!"
When they were a quarter of the way back to the mine, a mournful cry tore through the silent foggy world.
Chu Chen turned his head to look. His pupils instantly dilated!
Not good!
In front of Chu Chen, a thin, black robed cultivator in his thirties screamed in pain.
On his skin, dark red blood spots were densely packed. Each one was the size of a fist.
Countless small snakes of mist drilled into his body.
In the blink of an eye, his entire body had turned blood red.
The cultivators couldn't bear to watch. The cultivator's blood-red body started to collapse bit by bit from the edges. It turned into layers of dark red blood mist and drifted away.
The dark red blood mist was surrounded by the surrounding grey fog. It was quickly swallowed and dissolved. In the end, it disappeared completely.
The way back was really not easy!
Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He could only speed up and leave this area.
Under Chu Chen's lead, everyone's speed was raised to the limit. They were like meteors piercing through the foggy world.
However, they still couldn't stop them. Cultivators continued to die. One after another, another five cultivators died.
Everyone could only pray in their hearts that they would be lucky enough to persevere until they left the foggy area.
"Junior … Junior Martial Brother Chu …"
Chu Chen, who was focused on searching for traces of the Heavenly Fire in the thick fog, suddenly heard a weak call.
His body stiffened and he abruptly stopped. He lowered his head and saw Ye Man's beautiful face leaning on his chest. She was smiling sweetly. Her eyes were full of gentleness.
