"No!"
Xiao Haoran directly rejected Xue Wuhen's idea and gave his own reason, "The Battlefield of Gods and Demons is extremely strange and dangerous. We don't know anything about it. There are only three of us, so if we split up, the other two won't be able to help in time once one of us is in danger, so we can't split up."
"Uh … Okay, we'll think of other ways. If we really can't think of anything … Eh?" Xue Wuhen was slightly startled. Then, he said helplessly. However, before he could finish his words, he stopped and let out a cry of surprise. Then, he fixed his eyes on a small snow pile nearby.
After a while, Xue Wuhen smiled and pointed at the snow pile and said happily, "Branch Master, Elder Cai, look at that snow pile! Hahaha! "
"Snow pile?" Xiao Haoran and Elder Cai didn't understand why Xue Wuhen was so excited about a snow pile. They looked in the direction of Xue Wuhen's finger and when they saw the snow pile, their eyes suddenly lit up and smiles appeared on their faces.
There wasn't a beauty lying on the snow pile, nor was there a Spirit Artifact, nor was there any Heavenly Treasure. Instead, the shape of the snow pile was rather special.
Because the shape of the snow pile was actually in the shape of an arrowhead, and it was a lonely arrowhead in the middle of a flat snow field. This snow pile was clearly deliberately left behind by someone to guide the way for those who came later.
"This arrowhead shaped snow pile was definitely left behind by Senior Yang and the others! To guide us in the direction they are going, hahaha! " Xiao Haoran swept away the worry on his face and laughed heartily. With the arrowhead's guidance, it was much easier for them to find people.
Xue Wuhen identified the direction of the arrowhead and said, "The arrowhead is pointing straight ahead. It seems that Senior Yang and the others also entered the Battlefield of Gods and Demons from the central canyon, coinciding with us, haha."
"That's right, we'll chase! Along the way, we'll pay more attention to whether there are other arrowheads. "Xiao Haoran said and took the lead to run forward, his speed much faster than before.
Xue WuHeng and Cai Deyu immediately caught up with him. Their speed also increased. After confirming the direction, they felt a lot more relaxed. Naturally, they ran faster.
After running for two days, Xiao Haoran's team of three had already covered a distance of nearly 5,000 kilometres. Along the way, they had encountered many arrowhead-shaped objects. Due to the obstructions from the small mountains and gullies, some of the arrowheads had changed directions. In the end, however, they all returned to their original direction, north.
Although they had advanced for over ten thousand li, they had yet to find anyone. There was nothing Xiao Haoran and the other two could do. After all, Yang Guo's group of eight had entered the Battlefield of Divinity and Demons before them. The three of them could not easily catch up to Yang Guo's group of eight who were weaker than them.
Unless the eight of them stopped to wait for someone else, or met with a strong enemy that delayed their progress, Xiao Haoran and the other two would be able to catch up to them.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Since they couldn't find anyone, Xiao Haoran and the others had no choice but to continue running day and night. At their level of strength, even if they didn't eat or drink, it wouldn't be a problem for them to run for seven days and seven nights. They wouldn't starve or die of exhaustion.
Starting from the Earth Dragon Realm, martial artists could go one month or even longer without eating or drinking because they could rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to sustain their life. They could also consume some physical elixirs to replenish their physical strength. After all, at the Earth Dragon Realm, a seclusion could easily last a few days, a dozen days, or even a few months.
If an exceptional expert died of starvation or thirst after a month of seclusion, then that exceptional expert would no longer be an exceptional expert, but an extinct expert. It would become a joke to everyone.
Soon, another half a month had passed. Xiao Haoran and the other two had traveled more than 100,000 miles into the Battlefield of Divinity and Demons. During this period of time, they stopped to rest for a few hours and ate some physical elixirs. However, they still didn't see anyone, nor did they encounter any wild beasts or desolate beasts.
However, Xiao Haoran and the others had encountered several dangerous places. There were several huge pits, so deep that they couldn't see the bottom. They emitted a kind of aura that made the three of them palpitate. The three of them glanced at them from afar and didn't dare to get too close for fear of encountering an accident.
Ever since they encountered several terrifying pits, Xiao Haoran and the others had become more careful. They knew that the Battlefield of Divinity and Demons was not only strange but also dangerous. They had a feeling that if they fell into a terrifying pit, they would definitely die without leaving behind a corpse. This was their intuition and sense of danger after experiencing hundreds of battles.
After entering the Battlefield of Divinity for seventeen days, they still hadn't found any of Yang Guo's group of eight. Xiao Haoran and the others were somewhat anxious, fearing that Yang Guo's group of eight had met with misfortune.
In order to increase their speed, Xiao Haoran and the others would sometimes take the risk of flying at a low altitude, which increased their speed by a lot. However, most of the time, they still chose to run. After all, flying in the depths of the Battlefield of Divinity and Demons was a bit difficult because the invisible suction force underground was getting stronger and stronger.
Xiao Haoran and the others were incomparably fearful of the suction force underground. They didn't know what terrifying things were underground, but they guessed that the disappearance of the fog that shrouded the entire Battlefield of Divinity and Demons was most likely related to the suction force underground.
The deeper they went into the Battlefield of Divinity and Demons, the thicker the fog became. Originally, Xiao Haoran and the others could clearly see things a thousand feet away, but now, they could only see things a thousand feet away. Beyond that, it was very blurry.
Another three days passed, and Xiao Haoran and the others' hearts gradually became heavy. They even suspected that if they continued to run like this, would they directly run into the Demon God Continent?
After running for twenty days, they had advanced about two hundred thousand miles. Even if Xiao Haoran and the others were strong, their bodies were still a bit tired. After all, the huge suction force underground had brought them quite a bit of invisible obstruction, consuming a lot of their energy, stamina, and Desolate Power.
They were mentally exhausted.
Xiao Haoran and the others felt a little mentally exhausted. If it weren't for the conviction in their hearts supporting them, they might have given up on moving forward. Fortunately, they had three people to accompany them. If they were alone, staying in this deathly silent and strange place for twenty days would probably cause their minds to break down, right?
Xue Wuhen couldn't stand the deathly stifling atmosphere, so he found a topic to talk about, "Branch Master, we haven't seen an arrowhead snow pile for three days, this is a little bad."
"I also have no choice, we can only take one step at a time. Senior Yang and the others' courage is commendable, we can't fall behind, otherwise, we won't be able to establish ourselves in the continent in the future."
Xiao Haoran replied Xue Wuhen with a serious expression, his eyes still looking into the unknown. After pausing for a moment, he firmly added, "Whether Senior Yang and the others are still alive or not, we must find them. If they are alive, we must see them, if they are dead, we must see their corpses. This is the respect we have for heroes!"
"En, Branch Master, you're right. We must find Senior Yang and the others. They may be in danger right now and need our help … Huh?" Xue Wu Hen said in agreement. Suddenly, he let out a cry of surprise and leaned forward to listen.
