Chapter 657 I Like My Senior Brother
The four looked up and saw that the bone man had not been completely dealt with yet, when a swarm of bone insects flew in, of all kinds.
Insects, the skeletons of birds and beasts, come in all sizes.
Like those bats, their flesh and blood turned into the aura of death, and their bones flew away on their own.
“These are definitely being manipulated by someone.” Mu Jinning said calmly, flicking out flames to burn.
All the bone worms fell down from above, scattered on the ground, and were collected by them.
Because of this battle, many trees here were destroyed, and the soul fruits that were originally left on the trees slowly dissipated after falling.
The four were heartbroken to see this, as those were the essential tonics that helped them cultivate their clones, and now they were gone.
Fortunately, the two little beasts must have eaten quite a bit, and there's also the small cauldron; I wonder how much it managed to snatch.
"Since we can't have them all, let's just burn them all down."
Zhong Ran directly activated the power of the Fire Source Pearl, and in an instant, the place turned into a sea of fire.
Not only the trees and the bone people, but also the bone worms and bone beasts that came later, all disappeared in the sea of fire.
Even the deathly aura here has been burned away, and the place has become clear and bright, without the original deathly atmosphere.
All that remained was the scorching heat on the ground.
She withdrew the power of the fire source, looked at the desolate surroundings, and her eyes turned cold and deep.
With Zhong Yan and Mu Jinning protecting him behind him, Ah Sheng had already put away his hammer.
"Sister, it's all burned up." He missed the delicious taste of those fruits.
Zhong Ran looked at him. He had many wounds on his body, which had not healed and had a faint aura of death about them.
"Ah Sheng, aren't you in pain?"
He was so focused on being angry and fighting that he didn't really feel any pain.
She reminded me of this, and I instantly felt the pain.
"Sister, it hurts."
Zhong Yan reached out and helped him absorb the deathly aura from the wound, then sprinkled on some medicinal powder, and the wound healed quickly.
"The Forest of Death must hold a great secret. Why did those bones fly back on their own?"
Mu Jinning narrowed her eyes slightly, looking into the depths inside: "Let's continue in."
Having come this far, we have to keep pushing forward and see what's inside.
"Heal your wounds first, don't let the aura of death linger in your body."
Zhong Ran reminded him, "This isn't a small banquet; too much might be bad for your health."
She has a Fire Source Pearl inside her body. When the aura of death enters her body, it is refined into her own power.
Mu Jinning is different from Asheng, especially Asheng, who does not know any martial arts. The death energy lingers in his body, which will cause irreparable internal injuries to his internal organs over time.
Mu Jinning smiled and said, "I'm fine. The Tree of Life will purify everything on its own. What I've absorbed is the purest essence."
He put his arm around Ah Sheng's back and whispered, "Don't move, I'll help you purify the energy in your body."
As he activated the life-giving energy of the Tree of Life, Ah Sheng felt completely comfortable.
After Mu Jinning let go, he was still somewhat unsatisfied: "Senior brother, that felt good."
"Come on, let's go inside and take a look."
Now that everyone is alright, they'll definitely continue inside.
Bai Zi, Xiao Qingtian, and Xiao Ding all returned on their own initiative. They said they had devoured quite a few soul fruits, and Xiao Ding had taken even more.
Once some medicinal herbs are added and refined into a Soul Pill, it can be preserved.
They vaguely remembered the direction the bones had flown in; if they followed that direction, they should be able to find them.
The four quickly left this area and continued inside.
Because this entire area was burned, nothing was left but the scorching heat.
Even the air feels much fresher.
Perhaps because of Zhong Ran's burn, they walked for two more days without encountering any further danger.
"The icy pool that the mysterious cultivator mentioned should be in this direction. I wonder how far it is?"
"Could it be that we've already passed through this stage?"
Zhong Yan and Mu Jinning were studying the map, which was drawn by that cultivator who risked his life to rush out.
They had every reason to suspect that they were not heading in the same direction as the monk.
Firstly, given the dangers they encountered after entering, ordinary cultivators would find it extremely difficult to continue deeper inside.
Secondly, the cultivator also obtained some special spiritual herbs, but all they saw along the way was desolate grayness. Apart from these equally desolate trees, they could not find any other useful spiritual herbs.
Therefore, they are definitely not going in the same direction as others.
"Xiao Yan, try to see if you can distinguish between east, west, south, and north?"
Zhong Ran also looked over and shared her cultivation insights with him.
"Sensitize these auras carefully, integrate your divine sense into them, imagine yourself as these gases, and you can sense everything wherever the gases pass by."
Zhong Yan listened attentively. He had never tried this approach before, because the system he cultivated was completely different from Zhong Ran's, so he had never experienced what she had gone through.
The air here is thick with the aura of death, which is perfect for his cultivation.
Zhong Ran could actually sense these death energies, but she gave this rare opportunity to Zhong Yan.
Zhong Yan closed her eyes and began to try practicing the method she had described.
Ah Sheng sat to one side, chewing large chunks of roasted meat.
In the previous battle, he used a giant hammer, which was very effective in combat, but it also took a heavy toll on his stamina.
He has been eating meat for the past two or three days, but he still feels very tired.
He now understood why his sister had always told him to use that sledgehammer as little as possible.
It's too big and too heavy, it's very strenuous, and even with his current physique, he's still so far behind.
He didn't understand these things before, and lived entirely on instinct.
Now, his thoughts are much clearer, and he needs to gradually learn some basic cultivation knowledge.
However, his two older brothers and sister all had different cultivation systems than him.
He had to figure things out on his own, and whether eating meat and sleeping would be the best way to restore his strength was still a question.
Despite saying that, he had to obey orders when it came to using weapons.
The aura emanating from Zhong Yan was very uncomfortable, so he silently got up and moved to Mu Jinning's side.
The aura emanating from my senior brother was the most comfortable, even more so than from my sister.
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning also took the opportunity to adjust their breathing, leaving Asheng to guard them.
Almost another day passed before Zhong Yan suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them.
“Sister, there’s a river over there, but I can’t sense it at all. I think the Cold Pool should be in that direction as well.”
He pointed to the right: "It's the same deep in the forest. I can't sense it at all. It's as if my consciousness is stuck in a quagmire."
He paused for a moment, then added, "I have a feeling there's a big secret here."
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning both frowned. It seemed that the situation was far more complex than they had currently discovered.
Fortunately, they all have exceptional physical constitutions and multiple trump cards, which allows them to move around freely here.
