Is this person … a devil? Butterfly looked at Zhou Wen and felt a chill run down her spine.
They had gone through so much trouble to come here so that they could sign a contract with the Guardian and obtain greater strength.
As for Zhou Wen, he had actually chopped off the Guardian's head with one palm. Although they knew that this person wasn't an enemy, the difference in strength still left them in despair. They even trembled.
However, Li Mobai didn't think so. His eyes burned as he stared intently at Zhou Wen as though he had discovered a new continent.
So the path can be taken this way? Li Mobai felt as though there was a ball of fire burning in his body.
There was no fire in Zhou Wen's body, but as the Guardian's body disintegrated and vanished, a force surged into his body, causing Slaughterer's Life Soul to automatically switch out. After absorbing the energy, it became stronger.
To Zhou Wen's disappointment, although Slaughterer was becoming stronger, it failed to advance to a Perfect Body even after the energy was completely absorbed.
How many Guardians do I have to kill before Slaughterer can advance to a Perfect Body? Zhou Wen sighed inwardly.
Li Mobai, Gu Shanshui, and company had already returned. Zhou Wen said, "Sorry, I can't give you a chance to try."
Li Mobai smiled and said, "It's fine. That's not important. If it's convenient, can you tell me why you killed the Guardian? Why didn't you sign a contract with him? "
"There's no need for a contract." Zhou Wen couldn't explain too much.
"That's right. You really don't need it anymore," Li Mobai said.
Butterfly, Gu Lou, and company felt that Zhou Wen's words were too arrogant, but when they thought of the scene of the Guardian's head falling off, they felt powerless to refute him.
"Since we're already here, why don't we go to the entrance of the Valley of No Return to take a look?" Zhou Wen was still wondering if he could find the tiny palm symbol in the Valley of No Return. With the Valley of No Return, he would have a place to grind for Companion Beasts like Gu in the future.
"Alright, with you around, the Valley of No Return probably won't be able to retain anyone. It's good to broaden your horizons," Li Mobai said with a smile.
"I'm just taking a look from the outside. I don't plan on entering." Zhou Wen shook his head.
Although the chick could suppress the Gu, it hadn't grown up yet. If there were too many Gu, it wouldn't be able to take care of them. Or perhaps there were Gu that weren't afraid of the bird. If they really went all out, the bird might not be able to defeat a Mythical Gu.
Zhou Wen was very surprised that the chick could kill those Mythical Gu. He didn't know if it was because of the noble phoenix bloodline in the chick or if it had some special power.
Furthermore, after using Immortal Slaying, Zhou Wen's strength had been depleted. His body was still in a weak state. Although he wasn't as miserable as when he used Immortal Slaying in the past, his combat strength had been greatly affected. Zhou Wen didn't wish to take the risk at such a time.
The group exited the underground cave and arrived at the outskirts of the Valley of No Return.
Zhou Wen saw that there were layers of valleys here. There was a valley within a valley, but he didn't know how big the space inside was. He only heard from locals like Gu Shanshui that people who entered the Valley of No Return would most likely not return. That was why it was named the Valley of No Return.
However, it wasn't that no one could come back alive. There were still people who came back alive. It was just that those people didn't go deep into the valley. Most of them just wandered around the entrance of the valley before coming out.
Zhou Wen only wanted to wander around the valley's entrance to find the tiny palm symbol, but he had no intention of entering.
His luck seemed to be surprisingly good. After circling the valley for a while, Zhou Wen found the extremely inconspicuous palm symbol on a mountain wall.
The tiny palm symbol was covered in dense grass and was covered in moss. If Zhou Wen didn't have Truth Listener's ability, he wouldn't have discovered it.
He snapped a picture with his mysterious phone and the word "downloading" appeared on the screen, making Zhou Wen heave a sigh of relief.
I've gained quite a lot this time. I downloaded the Valley of No Return dungeon, killed a Guardian, and got the chick to eat quite a number of Gu. I reckon it should be able to grow a little after digesting it, right? Zhou Wen felt that he hadn't come for nothing.
However, Li Mobai's trip had been in vain. He hadn't obtained any benefits.
Since Gu Shanshui wanted to go to Chiang Rai to catch Corpse Bugs, Zhou Wen could only accompany him to Chiang Rai. Li Mobai thought for a moment and said, "Master Gu, if you don't mind, let's go and take a look."
"Li, it's naturally for the best if you can come along." Gu Shanshui happily accepted.
Everyone walked along the Flower River towards Chiang Rai. After walking two to three hundred kilometers, they saw a Flower of Life that hadn't withered.
Zhou Wen rode the Great Might Vajra Bull at the back of the team as he played with his phone. The Valley of No Return dungeon had been downloaded, so Zhou Wen entered to familiarize himself with the environment.
The Valley of No Return was actually surrounded by mountains. Only a sliver of sky between the mountains could one enter.
The mountain walls on both sides were very close, allowing only one person to pass through.
The blood-colored avatar walked in sideways as Truth Listener's ability was constantly activated. At the same time, he switched his Essence Energy Art to the Small Perfection of Wisdom. With the augmentation of the Eight Perfections Wisdom Life Providence and the Supreme Hell King Life Soul, Zhou Wen's senses became extremely sharp. Even without using Truth Listener, he could see everything clearly.
After walking for a short while, Zhou Wen discovered a problem. There were many tiny holes on the rock walls on both sides. As the holes were too small, one would only mistake them for the patterns on the stone walls with the naked eye.
However, Zhou Wen could tell that they weren't the patterns of the stone, but tiny holes. In those tiny holes, there were tiny worms that would occasionally reveal their heads. As they were too small, if an ordinary person wasn't careful and allowed them to crawl onto their body, they would probably be able to burrow into their pores.
The chick couldn't be brought into the game, so Zhou Wen didn't have a good way to restrain these worms. All he could do was summon Tai Sui and see if it would eat these worms.
Although Tai Sui wasn't very interested in these worms, it still devoured them under Zhou Wen's orders.
A large number of notifications appeared on the game screen. They were all notifications of killing Mortal creatures. Occasionally, a notification of killing a Legendary creature would pop up.
There were very few items that dropped, so they were basically useless. With Tai Sui's help, Zhou Wen passed through the sliver and arrived in the valley.
As this was a chain of valleys, what Zhou Wen could see was a semicircular valley that wasn't too big. Inside was a grassland that looked verdant and delightful.
However, if one had extraordinary vision, they would discover that there were many green caterpillars in the grass. They almost fused with the grass, making it difficult to distinguish their figures.
Zhou Wen summoned Fire Furnace Queen and turned the grass into a sea of fire. Then, notifications of killing Legendary Green-Furred Gu kept popping up.
There seem to be quite a number of Gu. This is a good place to grind. I wonder if there will be groups of Epic Gu inside? Zhou Wen had already seen the notification that a Green-Furred Gu had dropped a Companion Egg.
