Seeing that Tang Rou had already closed her eyes, Shen Hou, who had been very calm all this while, rubbed his temples slightly. He could not help but reveal an exhausted expression.
His cultivation was still too low. He was only at the mid-stage of the Earth Spring Stage and had been running with Tang Rou, who was at the Heavenly Spring Stage. His physical strength was already very exhausted.
Moreover, he had to constantly think and deduce Gu Haoran and Chu Chen's series of actions along the way. His mind was constantly in a state of high-speed operation. One could imagine the pressure he was under under such double hardship.
However, even though he was already very tired, Shen Hou still clenched his teeth and held on.
The current situation was that Chu Chen was not around, and Zhou Mei had mysteriously disappeared before the Apothecary Competition began. There were only the two of them left in Big Beard's faction. What else could they do?
Tang Rou was already in a mess because she was worried about Chu Chen's safety. Hence, he became her pillar of support.
Only when he maintained an appearance that everything was under control could Tang Rou, who was in a mess, relax slightly and not be at a loss.
Only when Tang Rou closed her eyes and could not see him could he show a slightly exhausted expression and have a good rest.
After all, Chu Chen's cultivation was too far away from Gu Haoran's. Hence, he was almost as worried about Chu Chen's safety as Tang Rou was!
"Found it!"
Just as Shen Hou was rubbing his temples gently, Tang Rou's surprised voice was heard. Shen Hou was shocked and regained his confident and farsighted appearance. "I knew you could definitely do it. What kind of mark did Junior Brother Chu leave behind?"
"There's a special flame brand in the void about six thousand feet away in the southwest. That flame is Chu Chen's unique flame. There's no mistake about it. "Tang Rou's face was filled with excitement.
"Southwest?"
Shen Hou looked toward the south, and a glint flashed in his eyes. "Looks like I guessed right. Gu Haoran really did the opposite. His real body has turned back. Let's chase after him!"
With a soft shout, the two of them fluttered and turned into dazzling streams of light as they charged toward the southwest.
Along the way, Tang Rou's speed was extremely fast, and she was getting faster and faster. At this moment, she was already burning with anxiety, and she was almost using all the spiritual energy in her body to increase her speed.
Seeing this, Shen Hou could only grit his teeth helplessly and forcefully muster the spiritual energy in his body to keep up with Tang Rou's speed.
In fact, Shen Hou's guess was correct. When the two of them arrived at the area where the flame brand was located, they quickly sensed the aura of another flame in the void. It was about a thousand meters away from the first flame.
It was obvious that these were signs that Chu Chen had purposely left behind to guide the way. There was a flame brand every three hundred feet. The two of them followed the signs all the way back to the central area of the Medicine Palace and entered a dense forest along the central area.
Along the way, the two of them looked very nervous. The markings that Chu Chen left behind did not beat around the bush. It could be said to be very straightforward.
In other words, the goal of Gu Haoran's real body was very clear, and that goal was probably the most important goal of Gu Haoran's trip to the Medicine Palace!
What was it for? After obtaining two Ancient Dragon Talismans, he was not in a hurry to leave the Medicine Palace. Instead, he came to such a place … What was Gu Haoran's ultimate goal?
Shen Hou frowned slightly as he continued to deduce all of Gu Haoran's actions in his mind.
When the two of them followed the marks left behind by Chu Chen and passed through the dense forest, a huge building appeared in front of them, causing them to be stunned.
It was a door, a black door with a majestic and incomparably majestic aura.
The door was made of an unknown material, and it was as black as ink.
The door was about 30 meters tall, and it was engraved with mysterious runes. The runes seemed to contain a mysterious and powerful law of power. When one's spiritual perception swept across it, one would feel a sharp pain in one's soul.
At this moment, the two black doors were wide open. There seemed to be another vast and boundless world behind the door. A vast aura spread out from inside, and it was filled with the smell of time.
However, at this moment, Shen Hou and Tang Rou did not pay much attention to the situation behind the door. Their eyes were fixed on the door.
More than a dozen black-clothed instructors of the Palace of Medicine were lying on the hard bluestone floor above the magnificent threshold. Blood was flowing from their bodies, forming small pools of blood. It turned out that they had been dead for a long time.
Shen Hou frowned deeply again.
The black door towered, and it seemed to be connected to another world.
Blood flowed like a river outside the door, and corpses were strewn all over the ground. This scene caused Tang Rou to feel a chill in her heart.
Speaking of which, she was only 15 or 16 years old. She had been crowned as a genius since she was young, and she was always surrounded by flattery and adoration. How could she have had such a bloody and cruel experience?
Although they were both geniuses, Tang Rou and Shen Qian were different.
Shen Qian was a natural battle maniac. She lived for battle and had experienced countless life and death battles in the Small Celestial World. Tang Rou was different. Apart from her shocking cultivation talent and genius halo, she was just an ordinary girl.
Even if she went out to kill a ferocious beast, she would secretly feel sad, let alone a life and death battle.
However, she usually hid it very well, so no one could tell that this cold and arrogant genius girl was actually a kind girl. The wood element cultivation method was the way of nature that respected life. Tang Rou had the god-tier wood element spring, the Divine Wood Crossing Spring, so this characteristic was displayed to the extreme.
However, in the short span of a few hours, ever since Gu Haoran had gone on a rampage, the entire world had turned blood red. Countless of her fellow disciples and instructors had fallen into a pool of blood. This scene had a huge impact on Tang Rou.
In addition, she was constantly worried about Chu Chen's safety. Under all these conflicting emotions, Tang Rou's mental endurance had reached its limit.
If it wasn't for her strong personality and the fact that Chu Chen's life was uncertain, she would have fainted like most of the other female students to escape from reality.
Suddenly, Shen Hou frowned again. Her heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Did you notice something?"
