Qiu San looked at Chu Chen expectantly. From his words, Chu Chen sensed something else.
This Qiu San … seemed to have entrusted the fate of the rest of the people on the ship to him?
Elder Lingxin remained silent. Chu Chen scratched his head and said, "That's right. I have indeed found a 'path'. Now, I am following this path to find the exit."
"Brother Tong is indeed talented. His spiritual sense is far superior to ordinary people. I knew that following your footsteps would give me hope of getting out of this huge mountain."
Qiu San's expression became excited.
"In this vast world, it is indeed not easy to find a path. Brother Tong is really the lucky star of our ship!"
"This path can only give us hope of leaving. I can't guarantee anything else."
"It's good that there is hope." Qiu San nodded, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. "Can I ask how long it will take to get out of this huge mountain? Although we still have some food with us, I'm afraid that we won't be able to last long. This situation is very serious on this deserted island without any supplies. "
"I'm not sure about this yet." Chu Chen shook his head indifferently. His gaze was calm.
"Oh?"
Qiu San took a small breath. "This huge mountain is too vast. Even with the speed of cultivators like us, we won't be able to get out of here without several months or even half a year. If we want to quickly cross over, I'm afraid we have to take a shortcut. However, this mountain is so huge. Even if we take a shortcut, I'm afraid it will be very far. Brother Tong, how confident are you in bringing everyone out of here? "
"To be honest, apart from Elder Lingxin, I have no responsibility to bring anyone out of here."
Chu Chen looked at Qiu San indifferently. "Chairman Qiu, if you have confidence in me, when I set off tomorrow morning, you can bring everyone and follow behind me. If you can keep up with my speed, then follow me. The rest will depend on everyone's luck."
"That … that's natural." Qiu San hurriedly nodded with a smile on his face. "Since Brother Tong has agreed to let everyone follow behind you, then it's easy. We'll just follow behind you and won't bother you with other matters. Whether it's life or death, it's all our own fault."
"Alright then. It's getting late, and we need to rest. I'll be on the road tomorrow morning." Chu Chen nodded, indicating for Qiu San to leave.
"Then I won't disturb the two of you any longer. I'll go and make the arrangements. Rest well tonight so that you'll have the energy to leave tomorrow." Qiu San smiled and cupped his hands towards the two of them before turning to leave.
"This giant mountain is so big that even a Spirit River Tier elite might not be able to fly over it. Tong Hu, don't try to be brave. Although the Desolate Mountain Range is a good thing, if you can't get it, then give up early."
"I know."
Lingxin tidied up the barbecued wild vulture meat on the fire, and then leaned back to back with Chu Chen beside the bonfire. Soon, she fell asleep.
Humans were social creatures. When everyone gathered together, their sense of security multiplied. Therefore, that night, Chu Chen and Elder Lingxin also slept very soundly.
Qiu San's management method was very extraordinary. After leading everyone to eat, they set up camp and set up a few huge bonfires to warm themselves. Moreover, they set up a few simple formations in the surroundings, causing such a desolate place to have a sense of peace and tranquility.
In the middle of the night, Chu Chen suddenly felt a special ripple in the air, causing him to wake up from his deep sleep.
He looked around. It was already midnight, and the surroundings were quiet. Everyone had fallen asleep.
The bonfires that were originally burning in the open space had also been extinguished, leaving behind piles of red fire that emitted a faint light in the silent night sky.
Because there were no living creatures in this wilderness, Qiu San didn't send anyone to keep watch at night. The air was too quiet.
In this quiet void, a faint fluctuation of spiritual power faintly came from not far away, with a rare sense of mania and urgency.
This was … someone cultivating? Or was it a sneak attack?
Frowning, Chu Chen carefully bent down and gently put down Lingxin, who was sleeping soundly on his back, and leaned against the warm rock beside him that was being baked by the bonfire.
After unbuttoning his robe and covering Lingxin, Chu Chen's palm sucked, and he picked up two withered branches from the pile of firewood not far away. He lightly tapped on the ground, and his whole body flew in the direction of the fluctuation like a big bird.
The night was quiet. Above the ink-black sky, a bright, jade-like moon poured down a light silver light onto the earth.
When Chu Chen passed through a vast rock forest, he saw a beautiful girl in red silently cultivating on top of an ink-black rock.
On her body, a mysterious black spiritual power faintly spread out, emitting a cold and strange fluctuation.
Chu Chen suddenly understood why he had suddenly woken up. This girl in red was someone he knew, and her safety affected him.
Now, this girl in red had clearly reached a critical moment in her cultivation. He could clearly see a strong ink-black light surging endlessly in her body, constantly pouring into the ink-black rock below her. Then, it brought out strands of black refined iron essence back into her body, forming a complete cycle.
This … seemed to be refined iron profound rock?
Looking at the black rock that the young girl was sitting on, Chu Chen nodded in understanding.
Although this black rock looked like a rock, it was essentially a type of refined iron ore of extremely high purity. It contained a rich amount of refined iron essence and was the favorite type of ore for cultivators who practiced metal-attribute cultivation techniques.
It was clear that this girl in red had accidentally found this piece of refined iron profound rock, so she wanted to use the refined iron essence to forcibly increase her cultivation.
However, she seemed to be a little too impatient in her cultivation. The surging refined iron essence was not completely refined and purified before being absorbed into her body. It contained too many impurities, which would affect the foundation of a cultivator's cultivation.
Sure enough, when the wisp of ink-black spiritual power circulated through the fifth cycle, the red-clothed girl's body suddenly shook violently. When the thick black light entered the Dantian's Qi Sea, it suddenly went out of control. It actually went against the flow and directly poured into her chest and abdomen.
The girl spat out a large mouthful of dark red blood with a "wah" sound. Her face instantly became incomparably pale, and her expression suddenly became dispirited.
Sure enough, there were too many impurities in the refined iron profound qi. She was too impatient in her cultivation and suffered from Qi Deviation!
Chu Chen's heart moved. The withered branch in his hand fiercely tapped the ground a few times, and his whole body floated up, jumping behind the girl.
His palm paused for a moment. Then, he gently pressed on the acupoint on the girl's back. Waves of mellow and vast spiritual power surged into her body. It was as if a vast and mighty river was flowing into her limbs and bones.
