Facing the sun, Gu Fei's body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fire Qi. Indistinctly, there seemed to be tiny flames dancing on his body.
At this moment, Gu Fei seemed to have really communicated with the Sun True Fire. The Pure Yang Qi and the power of fire in his body resonated, and the essence of the sun was smelted into his body.
Communicating with the five elements inside and outside made Gu Fei able to absorb the power of the five elements of heaven and earth to refine his own five elements and five Qi. At this moment, Gu Fei finally clearly felt that there was something different from the past. His vitality seemed to be a lot stronger.
Gu Fei was overjoyed. The human body was like a treasure trove. As his cultivation deepened, he realized that the treasures in his body were endless. After opening a treasure trove, there would be an even greater treasure trove waiting for him.
After communicating with the five elements of heaven and earth, Gu Fei didn't know what would happen in the future. But now, his vitality was indeed becoming stronger.
The benefits of having a strong Life Origin Energy were enormous. The injured body would be nourished by the abundant Life Origin Energy, and the speed of recovery would be much faster. Severed limbs could even grow back, bones could grow back, and flesh could reach the realm of immortality.
When the sun was high up in the sky, Gu Fei gradually stopped absorbing the Sun Qi. The redness on his skin gradually receded, and the hazy flame that shrouded his body also converged into his body.
After a night of cultivation, although Gu Fei did not make any breakthroughs in his cultivation, he felt that his body seemed to be much lighter and more powerful. The Five Elemental Qi in his body was lively, constantly nourishing his blood, flesh, tendons, and bones.
He gently moved his body. "Swoosh!" He jumped down from the rock and rushed into the forest. A few afterimages flashed past. He waved his hands and shot out a few dazzling blade-like auras. Wherever they passed, the giant trees were chopped down one after another. With a rumbling sound, the fallen giant trees in the forest set off clouds of smoke and dust, and leaves fluttered in the air.
At this time, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. Seeing the figure moving quickly in the forest, she was shocked. Gu Fei, she saw too many surprises in this person.
Swoosh! In the next moment, a figure flickered at the entrance of the cave. Gu Fei appeared in front of Ling Luoyan, leaving behind a series of afterimages that had yet to dissipate.
"You're finally awake." Gu Fei looked at Ling Luoyan's face and saw that she was sickly pale. Her spirit was dispirited, and it seemed that her mind had suffered quite a bit of damage.
Actually, Ling Luoyan was lucky. The five ghostly cultivators from the Ghost Palace of Plentiful City hadn't completely refined the Five Ghost Streamer. If it had been a fully refined Five Ghost Streamer, with just a shake of the streamer, regardless of whether it was a human or a beast, their souls would be extracted and turned into nourishment for the streamer.
"What is this place?" Ling Luoyan looked around and asked.
Gu Fei shrugged and said, "I also don't know where this place is. I only know that we are in the mountains, a primitive forest full of dangers."
"What do we do now?" Ling Luoyan couldn't help but furrow her brows. Her disappearance would definitely cause chaos in the caravan. This was predictable.
"This … You should be more familiar with this mountain than I am!" Gu Fei smiled awkwardly. This was his first time leaving the mountain, so how would he know where he was?
Ling Luoyan pondered for a moment and said, "The Eight Hundred Mile Cloudy Mountain. This is a primitive mountain in the south of the Yan Kingdom. We must return to the ship."
"Do you know which direction to go?" Gu Fei asked. Although it was possible to distinguish north, south, east, and west in the mountains during the day, he didn't know which direction was towards the big river.
Even with Gu Fei's sharp hearing, he couldn't hear the sounds of people and the sound of flowing water. This place should be a desolate and uninhabited land, and there shouldn't be any big rivers.
"Why did you bring me to this godforsaken place?" Ling Luoyan couldn't help but panic. She looked at the surrounding terrain and found that this was simply a desolate land.
In the distance, the silhouettes of ferocious beasts could be seen moving in the forest. There were towering ancient trees with their crowns blotting out the sun, century-old vines twisting and climbing, and the crisp cries of unknown birds resounding in the forest.
This was the first time Ling Luoyan had set foot in such a desolate land. She was at a loss and didn't know what to do. After all, she was a girl, a flower in a greenhouse. She had never experienced something like this before. Her eyes reddened, and she had the urge to cry.
"You're a man, why are you acting like a girl? You're just lost in the wilderness!" Gu Fei couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Ling Luoyan's pitiful appearance.
At this time, Gu Fei still couldn't tell that Ling Luoyan was a girl. Even though he had smelled a faint fragrance when he hugged her last night, and she was very light, it didn't take much effort for him to carry her.
Gu Fei pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Alright, although we don't know where we are, I still have a way to return to the river."
"What way?" Ling Luoyan hurriedly asked. She was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"A stupid way. The place we are at now should be no more than two hundred li from the river, and the river flows from the north to the south, passing through the eight hundred li of Yunmeng Mountain. Then, we can use this place as a starting point and walk two hundred li in a straight line to the east and west. Won't we be able to return to the river then?" Gu Fei said seriously.
"Two hundred li in the east and west? You're joking, right? " Ling Luoyan said in shock. This was a primitive forest. Even if they didn't die, they would be half-dead if they walked a few hundred li on foot!
Even if it was a broad road, the soles of their shoes would be worn through after walking a few hundred li. Wouldn't their legs be crippled? Ling Luoyan couldn't help but feel her heart palpitate when she thought of this.
"Do I look like I'm joking to you? Unless you have a better way, this is the only way. "Gu Fei said in a bad mood.
If it was up to his character, he wouldn't even want to return to the river. He would just walk in this primitive forest and keep heading south. There should be quite a number of fierce beasts in the mountains, and he could fight with them as he hurried along. When he reached the Southern Wilderness, his cultivation would definitely improve by a lot.
A comfortable life would make people lazy, and this wasn't what Gu Fei wanted. Only by constantly being in danger would his cultivation improve. Only with pressure would there be progress, and he had to constantly maintain that fierce spirit of improvement.
"This …" Ling Luoyan couldn't help but be startled when she heard this. She really couldn't think of any other way at the moment.
"Why don't you wait for me here? I'll go scout the way. Once I've confirmed the direction, I'll come back to pick you up," Gu Fei said to Ling Luoyan when he saw her hesitation.
"No, I don't want to stay here." In a moment of desperation, Ling Luoyan went forward and tightly grabbed onto Gu Fei's arm. Her face was full of panic. It was no wonder that she was afraid. In this primitive forest, there was no lack of all kinds of fierce beasts!
How could a girl dare to stay in such a place alone?
"Alright! Then which direction should we go first? "Gu Fei asked. East and west, the chances of returning to the river were 50/50.
"You said we should go in that direction!" How could Ling Luoyan have any ideas? Everything would be decided by Gu Fei.
"The sun rises in the east, so let's go east!" Gu Fei looked at the sun in the east and said in a low voice.
"Let's go!" Since the decision was made, Gu Fei's figure flashed and he headed east.
"Ah! Wait … "Ling Luoyan hurriedly shouted and chased after him.
Walking in the endless primitive forest, Gu Fei would often see some broken bones, but most of them belonged to large herbivores. For example, when he walked through a swamp with lush water plants, he would see a few ten-meter-long and several meter-tall elephant skeletons lying in the water plants, or a few bull skeletons scattered among the rocks.
However, Gu Fei also found some unknown giant skeletons scattered in the forest. They looked especially terrifying as they were hidden in the forest grass. He became much more cautious, because this unknown beast bone could very well have been left behind by those extremely ferocious beasts.
It would not make sense if there were no Ferocious Beasts in such a primeval forest. However, Gu Fei did not encounter any particularly ferocious Ferocious Beasts after traveling for dozens of miles in the primeval forest.
This surprised Gu Fei. Fierce beasts might be nightmarish existences to others, but to Gu Fei, they were his whetstones. Gu Fei would learn a lot of fighting techniques that would be beneficial to him during his fights with the Direbeasts.
"Hey, do you know how many miles we've walked?" At the foot of a hill, Ling Luoyan sat down on a rock, took out a large red fruit from her bosom, and took a bite.
There were many unknown fruits in the primitive forest, but Ling Luoyan only dared to pluck some familiar ones to fill her stomach. She had plucked quite a few along the way.
Gu Fei turned around and saw that Ling Luoyan had stopped. He stopped moving forward and walked to a large tree, leaning his back against the trunk. Then, he took out a bamboo tube from his waist, pulled out the stopper, and raised his head to drink a large mouthful of cool spring water.
He had done this himself when he passed by a forest. After all, walking in the primitive forest without food was a small matter, but not without water was out of the question.
"It's still too early. According to my estimation, we haven't even walked a hundred miles." Based on his experience of living in the mountains, Gu Fei knew that they had actually only walked a few dozen miles in this primitive forest.
Of course, this was because they were carrying Ling Luoyan, who was as weak as a girl. Gu Fei thought that Ling Luoyan, a disciple of an aristocratic family, was pampered since childhood, but he did not know that this handsome young master in front of him was not a man.
"What, how … how can this be!" Hearing Gu Fei's words, Ling Luoyan immediately screamed. "Then when can we get out of this damn place!" Ling Luoyan wailed.
"Roar …"
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the depths of the mountain in front of them. The sound was deafening, and it pierced through metal and rocks, causing chaos in the depths of the mountain.
"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!" …
It was as if a huge creature was running. The heavy footsteps hit the ground, causing the forest in front of them to tremble.
The heavy footsteps quickly approached the two of them.
"Not good!" Gu Fei was also shaken by this sudden roar, causing his blood to surge. His body trembled, and his eardrums almost ruptured. He threw the bamboo tube in his hand and leaped towards Ling Luoyan, who was still in a daze, with lightning speed. He grabbed her under his ribs, jumped onto the top of the tree, and left like the wind.
