Lu Chen turned around and walked back the way he came. Along the way, he turned his head to look at the place where the battle was the fiercest and cruelest. Those black-clothed men who were ambushed by the self-destructing barbarians and perished together with the barbarians didn't even have a single intact corpse.
This unremarkable small tribe had inexplicably become the graveyard of dozens of extremely powerful cultivators. Perhaps no one would have thought of this outcome, even Lu Chen didn't think of this ending.
However, even though the scene was extremely horrifying, Lu Chen didn't feel too guilty. Since a long time ago, when those black-clothed men were unwilling to let him go, the faintly discernible affection they had for each other in the past had already vanished into thin air.
However, when he walked back to the mountain forest and occasionally turned his head to look into the distance, he suddenly discovered that along the way, there were already two additional bloody footprints on the path. It was a ghastly sight.
…
Atsu was still waiting for him at the same place. After meeting up with them, Lu Chen thought for a moment and tried to place the wooden staff in front of Atsu. Atsu moved closer and sniffed a few times, then raised its head and looked at Lu Chen blankly. Obviously, it didn't find anything and didn't know what Lu Chen's intention was.
Lu Chen sighed, shook his head and put away the wooden staff. He casually wiped his chest, and the wooden staff disappeared into thin air. This was the mysterious tree hole that he directly threw into the seed. When he had time in the future, he would carefully explore the secret of this wooden staff.
However, perhaps this thing was already completely useless, Lu Chen thought in his heart.
A man and a dog quickly left the mountain ridge. During this time, Lu Chen changed his clothes from head to toe. Because there were no longer these "killers" chasing after him, it was obvious that Lu Chen felt a lot more relaxed. This also made his mood a lot better.
However, although those black-clothed men were almost all killed because of the accident, the uncomfortable feeling was still there. It was just that it wasn't as serious as before. After leaving the mountain ridge, Lu Chen hesitated, but in the end, he still decided not to turn back. He still continued to flee south according to the route he had originally thought of.
In this world, outside of the Devil Cult, there was almost no one who understood the madness of the Devil Cult better than him. Outside of the True Immortal Alliance, there was also almost no one who understood the strength of the Floating Clouds Service better than him.
Although those black-clothed men were powerful, even if they all died, it would not be a serious blow to the Floating Clouds Office, a shadowy organization that Perfected Lord Tian Lan had single-handedly created.
If they didn't have this kind of foundation, the Fuyun Division wouldn't have been able to occupy the main hall of such a huge organization like the True Immortal Union for so many years, and also fight to the death with the Three Realms Devil Cult which had thousands of years of inheritance in the shadows.
Lu Chen didn't want to fight against the terrifying power hidden in the shadows of Fuyunji. He also didn't have any thoughts of dying rather than surrendering. Therefore, he easily made the decision to continue fleeing.
After making the decision, the next step was much easier. After all, it was only the word "escape". The closest route was to pass through the Evil Python Valley at the foot of the mountain. If he continued heading south, he would almost reach the Longchuan river.
After passing through the Longchuan, he would probably be able to truly escape from the damned and terrifying Devil Cult and Fuyunji's double pursuit.
Lu Chen brought Atsu all the way down the mountain ridge. He didn't stop for long and walked towards the Evil Python Valley.
From afar, a pungent stench wafted through the air. Ah-Tu let out a low growl as the hair on his neck stood up. He looked extremely vigilant. Lu Chen also frowned. However, he still brought Ah-Tu and stepped into the Evil Python Valley, which was filled with danger at every corner.
… …
The Evil Python Valley was actually a long and narrow valley sandwiched between several tall and majestic mountain ranges. Because of the tall mountains, this valley never saw the sun all year round. In addition, there was a lot of rain. So after a long time, this valley became extremely gloomy and humid. Under the thick green and moist leaves everywhere, countless snakes and poisonous creatures were bred. Among them, there were all kinds of poisonous snakes.
After Lu Chen and Atsu walked into this valley, although it was daytime, the valley was still a little dim. They always felt that from the surrounding dense grass and trees, including the wet stone walls on both sides that were covered with moss and all kinds of strange plants, there would suddenly be some poisonous snakes and insects that would suddenly come out and bite them.
Atsu looked very nervous, constantly looking left and right. Lu Chen also looked vigilant, looking to both sides from time to time.
Sure enough, after they walked a few feet into the Evil Python Valley, suddenly, there was a sudden rustling sound from a bush. Lu Chen and Atsu immediately stopped in their tracks. After a while, they saw a big python with a body as big as a bowl slowly slithering out of the bush.
Lu Chen's face changed slightly, and he took a step back. He was on high alert, and he also looked around to see if there were any poisonous snakes or insects hiding in the dark. As for Atsu, it let out a deep roar at the big python, revealing its two fangs, and made a ferocious face, as if it was going to pounce on the big python and tear it into pieces in the next moment.
The greenish-black python slowly raised its head and glanced at Lu Chen and Ah-Tu. Its vertical pupils were cold and merciless, and it flicked its forked tongue in and out as it faced the two of them.
Atsu roared twice, and it was about to move forward, but it was suddenly stopped by Lu Chen.
Lu Chen looked at the big python with rapt attention, and he said in a low voice, "Wait a minute."
This big python seemed to have half of its body hidden in the bush, but just its upper body that was exposed was already big enough, and it was obviously an adult python.
Lu Chen wasn't afraid of such a monster, but he was worried about something else. After all, this was the Evil Python Valley, and it was unknown how many snakes and insects lived here. If they made a big noise, there was no telling how many snakes and insects would be attracted, and it would be really difficult to deal with them at that time.
Sure enough, after Lu Chen stopped Atsu, which was showing hostility and was eager to attack, the big python didn't immediately launch an attack. It stared at Lu Chen for the last time, and suddenly turned its head, but it slithered away, and soon disappeared into the bush on the other side.
Watching the big python leave, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then he reached out his hand to pat Atsu's head, and said, "Let's go."
At this time, Atsu looked a little disappointed, and it seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the big python leaving just now. It roared twice in that direction, and then continued to walk forward with Lu Chen.
However, as they went deeper, they gradually discovered something strange.
In this valley where poisonous insects gathered, it seemed that many poisonous insects had come out today, even though many of them should be hiding in their nests and sleeping at this time according to their habits. And what was even more strange was that these poisonous insects didn't have any intention to attack Lu Chen and Atsu. At most, they just confronted each other out of instinct, and after Lu Chen restrained himself and showed that he was not hostile, these originally bloodthirsty poisonous insects actually left this place one after another.
Who would have thought that this originally dangerous path would be abnormally smooth for them?
