"Elder Shi, Madam Shi." Lu An cupped his hands and said, "Before I came in, I heard from Sect Leader Wang that the two of you entered this place a month ago. Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Hearing Lu An's words, the two of them looked at each other. Whether it was their clothes or the dust on their faces, they looked very disheveled. At this point, they had nothing to be embarrassed about. Shi Qingti sighed and said bitterly, "To be honest, Alliance Leader Lu, the two of us entered this forest eight days ago. We wanted to choose a shortcut to enter the inner circle of this forest, but we were surrounded and beaten by four strange beasts at the same time.
"We finally killed all four strange beasts and hid in a place to rest. However, we were soon discovered by two strange beasts. We didn't rest for long and had to fight again."
"The strange beasts in this forest will regenerate every other day," Guo Yuan said. Guo Yuan added, "And once you're targeted, unless you can use your speed to shake them off and escape from their sight, they'll keep chasing you and never give up. The two of us have been chased by strange beasts for the past eight days. We wanted to return to the edge of the mountain, but the quicksand made it impossible for us to go up. Even if we reached the top of the mountain, there was no tree to inform the outside world. We had to go through another mountain. "
Lu An nodded slightly. It was indeed difficult to go up the mountain through the quicksand. The other side of the mountain was completely collapsed. Once people were in it and it collapsed, there was almost no way to survive.
"In other words, the two of you are trapped here?" Lu An asked.
"Yes." Shi Qingti was a little embarrassed and said, "If Alliance Leader Lu hadn't come … we would have died."
Lu An did not care about this. In that case, he could not leave the two of them here. Otherwise, they would still die. After thinking about it, Lu An said, "How about I escort the two of you to the next Immortal Tree?"
Shi Qingti and Guo Yuan's eyes lit up when they heard this. They cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, Alliance Leader Lu!"
After thinking about it, Shi Qingti said truthfully, "However, the next Immortal Tree is not close. There are no Immortal Trees in this forest. We have to leave the forest and enter the mountain range to find one."
"It's okay." Lu An said, "If the two of you can move, we can leave now. I don't want to stay in the array formation for too long."
The two of them were stunned. Guo Yuan's injuries had already healed by about seventy percent, while Shi Qingti's recovery was probably less than thirty percent. However, she could still travel normally. After all, it was Lu An who had saved them, so they immediately replied, "Okay!"
Thus, the three of them leaped onto the tree trunk and quickly landed on the ground. Lu An did not wait and immediately continued to head east.
The two of them did the same and immediately followed beside Lu An. Lu An's speed was neither fast nor slow. Even though the two were injured, they were still able to keep up. Looking at Lu An beside them, they were both very curious and excited.
They were not core elders. Even among peak eighth-level elders, they were only considered ordinary. Although Lu An's cultivation level was lower than theirs, they were usually not qualified to sit on the same level as Lu An, let alone talk to him. Lu An's performance at the sect banquet was still vivid in their minds. He had even defeated their core elder, Cui Yan. Although his cultivation level was lower than theirs, his strength was much stronger than theirs!
Shi Qingti took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. As they walked, he said, "Alliance Leader Lu, actually, the reason why the two of us dared to come here to cultivate is because we saw Alliance Leader Lu's elegant demeanor during the sect's banquet. It inspired us to become stronger!"
Lu An was stunned. Seeing that Shi Qingti did not seem to be flattering him, he said, "Is that so?"
"Of course!" Shi Qingti said immediately.
Even Guo Yuan nodded vigorously. She quickly asked curiously, "How long has Alliance Master Lu been here?"
"This …" Lu An was a little hesitant. After thinking for a while, he said, "My personal estimate is around five days."
"Five days?!" The two of them exclaimed. Guo Yuan said in shock, "You came here in five days? How did Alliance Master Lu come here? "
"I came here by climbing the mountains normally." Lu An said with a little doubt, "Is there any other way?"
"…"
Shi Qingti and Guo Yuan looked at each other. Their eyes were full of shock. One must know that there were many mountains that could not be crossed by force. They had to go around. Even if they went around, they had to go through some special formations. However, it was still much easier than climbing the mountain. However, going around would take a lot more time than going straight. Lu An was alone, but he could go straight through?
During the process, the two of them were almost killed by the mountains several times. If they did not move together, they would have died countless times … Sure enough, people could not be compared with each other.
Since the three of them were traveling together, Lu An did not want to waste time. He asked directly, "Do the two of you know anything about the Yin Yang Profound Realm?"
"More or less." The two of them immediately nodded. Shi Qingti said, "The sect has books about the Yin Yang Profound Realm. We can know the situation here in advance. We have basically memorized them."
"In that case, do the two of you know what dangers there are in this forest?" Lu An asked again.
"This forest is divided into the inner circle and the outer circle." Shi Qingti quickly said, "The outer circle is basically filled with strange beasts. However, at least two strange beasts will appear at the same time and will chase after each other until they disappear. Every strange beast here has its own special power. It is even more troublesome than the mountain from before. "
"The inner circle is guarded by humans." Shi Qingti continued, "The humans inside are completely different from before. Their combat skills are close to perfect. It is extremely difficult to break through if one fights alone. They can also skillfully use Heaven Arts. It is said that these people are imitations of those who passed before. If three people pass together, they will appear together in the inner circle. If one person passes alone, he will appear alone. "
Lu An was startled when he heard this. This was the first time he encountered such a thing. If they were imitating those who passed before, wouldn't Wang Yangcheng also appear?
"These people are usually very fixed. The stronger ones are closer to the central area, while the weaker ones are scattered around the inner circle." Guo Yuan added, "Those who pass in a straight line will encounter the fewest enemies, but the enemies are the strongest. Those who go around will encounter the weakest enemies, but they will have to go through many battles."
"That's right." Shi Qingti said, "These are all people who have passed before. Even if the imitations of this array cannot fully display the strength of the original person, it is not too far off. It is very difficult to pass."
Lu An nodded slightly and asked again, "How are the inner and outer circles divided? Or is it just based on the range? "
"No." Guo Yuan immediately said. Guo Yuan immediately said, "There is a river between the Inner Circle and the Outer Circle. This river flows around the Inner Circle and extends in all four directions. The river is about three hundred meters wide and there are no iron chains in the places where it extends. The power inside the river is very strong. It is not something a Level 1 Heavenly Master can contend against. There are iron chains only at the places where the inner circle connects to the outer circle. This is to force people to enter the inner circle. "
Lu An suddenly understood and said, "Will we encounter any trouble when passing through the iron chains?"
"Yes." Guo Yuan said, "The wind on the river will disturb the body's balance. The iron chains will also fluctuate and throw people off. There will also be enemies on the iron chains. Although they are much weaker than the people in the inner circle, they will win as long as they force us off the iron chains. "
"That's right." Shi Qingti nodded and said, "It can be said that the iron chains are very dangerous. It is much more dangerous than the outer circle. Once you fail, it means death. Many people who have come in have died here without knowing why. "
Lu An nodded and said seriously, "I will remember."
The three of them moved forward quickly. Not long after, they encountered four strange beasts gathered together. Shi Qingti and Guo Yuan's pupils constricted when they saw them. They could not help but slow down. Shi Qingti immediately said to Lu An, "Alliance Master Lu, there is danger ahead. I am seriously injured and can't help. Why don't we go around?"
"No need." Lu An said, "Follow me."
Lu An sped up immediately. He was about 30 meters away from the two of them. He took the lead and rushed toward the four strange beasts. Shi Qingti and Guo Yuan's hearts tightened when they saw this, but they could only brace themselves and follow.
Lu An did not want to waste any time. He did not know why he had been feeling uneasy since yesterday, as if something was telling him that something was wrong at home. Even if it was just his illusion, he had to leave here as soon as possible and go home.
Therefore, Lu An directly used the Deep Ice.
The ultimate Fate Wheel could completely crush the enemies of the same Realm.
A glint of coldness flashed in Shi Qingti and Guo Yuan's eyes. Then they were shocked to see that two of the four strange beasts were pierced through by icicles and the other two had their necks cut off by the ice. During this process, Lu An just used his body movement to pass through the enemies' attacks. He did not even slow down!
Shi Qingti and Guo Yuan took a deep breath. They were even more shocked to see Lu An in action at such a close distance than at the Faction Feast!
