Chapter 677 Invitation to Travel Together
The woman said, "My name is Lin Ziyue, and this is my senior brother Cui Jingyun. We can't get out for a while, so I wonder if we could travel with you two senior brothers and sisters?"
This place is too strange. They've been here for a month, and apart from encountering bone people and bone beasts, they haven't encountered anything else of value.
Now they've encountered evil forces again and almost lost their lives. If Zhong Ran and the other person hadn't passed by and saved them, they might have perished here.
Zhong Ran glanced at that Senior Brother Cui. She rarely encountered this surname, except for her own mother and the aunt who had harmed her in her previous life and whom she had killed.
However, she didn't think much of it: "We're preparing to leave here. Are you sure you still want to travel together?"
Upon hearing her words, the two exchanged a glance, a look of surprise flashing in their eyes.
"You've found a way out? That's wonderful."
They had wanted to leave this awful place for a long time, but no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't get out.
They couldn't even find their predecessors anymore, only occasionally encountering one or two bone beasts.
They were also in a very bad situation when facing the bone beasts, since the bone beasts were quite strong and, more importantly, they had no sense of pain, which put them at a disadvantage.
"We don't know either, we can only wander around."
Zhong Ran turned and left, followed by Lin Ziyue and Cui Jingyun.
"I haven't asked my senior brothers and sisters for their names yet."
Lin Ziyue took out two water pouches and two large pieces of roasted meat and handed them to them: "Did you bring a lot of food? I have some here, why don't you eat some first?"
Zhong Ran glanced at it but didn't reach out to take it: "I've stopped fasting."
She actually likes food, but she won't eat anything given to her by strangers.
Lin Ziyue smiled somewhat awkwardly: "I also want to fast, but I can't help but want to eat."
She shared a portion with Cui Jingyun and followed Zhong Ran and the other woman, eating as she talked about the various things they had encountered here.
They were really unlucky after they came in. They didn't encounter any so-called spiritual medicine or any other treasures. Instead, they were trapped in this area, unable to find their senior or get out.
Zhong Ran gave them a strange look: "How dare you walk in here?"
Lin Ziyue coughed lightly: "Isn't everyone curious about the Forest of Death? It just so happens that we were told last time that we could come in, so it's not too late."
"We thought we had our own trump cards; as long as we didn't freeze the air, we could escape if we encountered danger."
"But for some reason, after we came in, the airspace was suddenly restricted, and many methods are no longer usable here."
For example, teleportation, tearing through the void, and even using the surrounding spiritual energy are impossible.
It's all just gray mist here; there's no spiritual energy for them to draw upon.
Moreover, the bone beast they encountered was particularly strange; when it attacked them, they were in excruciating pain.
But they couldn't hurt it at all when they attacked it. In fact, after fighting the bone beast, they felt extremely tired, so they had no choice but to run away.
Zhong Ran fell silent for a while as darkness gradually fell.
Lin Ziyue moved closer to her, her voice trembling slightly: "Senior sister, should we find a place to rest for the night?"
"There will be a terrible attack at night."
Zhong Ran had also been attacked by bats at night before, but the four of them were not ordinary. Three of them had fire, and their flames had reached the level of divine fire.
Those bats didn't cause them much harm, but they were undeniably annoying.
These ordinary cultivators, without a source of fire, would truly perish in such a forest.
"How did you manage before?" she asked, somewhat curious.
Judging from Lin Ziyue's appearance, they must have been in there for quite some time.
Moreover, they must have been separated from their own people for quite some time.
So how do they spend their nights?
Lin Ziyue said somewhat awkwardly, "We usually find a cave, or carve one out ourselves, and then light a fire at the entrance to make it a little easier."
Not only do you have to light a fire, but you also have to sprinkle medicinal powder around it.
They had encountered a large, gray ant that was not afraid of ordinary flames and would attack them by crossing the flames.
If she hadn't been quick-witted and scattered some powder first, they probably would have been bitten that time.
Those things looked incredibly eerie; anyone could imagine what the consequences would be if someone bit one of them.
It's better to be careful.
Zhong Ran nodded slightly: "In that case, let's find a place."
She had no connection with Mu Jinning, but before she knew anything about him, she didn't want to reveal too much.
Soon, they found a mountain and used their weapons to carve out a shallow cave at the bottom, big enough for two people to live in.
The two siblings set up one, and Mu Jinning also set up her own, which was right next door, not far away.
Lin Ziyue was very experienced; she gathered firewood and piled it at the entrance of the cave, and kindly also gathered a handful for Zhong Ran and the other person.
Zhong Ran thanked them, took out two small stools, and sat with Mu Jinning at the entrance of the cave, gazing absently at the increasingly dark sky.
She was actually still worried about Zhong Yan's condition.
It's really worrying that they're missing like this.
It would be good to know his whereabouts.
"Ah Jin, do you think using a sound transmission stone or a sound transmission talisman would be effective at this time?"
After all, if they were really not in the same dimension, she really didn't know if it would still be useful.
Mu Jinning didn't actually know either, but she could try it now, just in case it worked.
"Give it a try, what if it works?"
Zhong Ran nodded and took out the seventh-order transmission talisman she had drawn herself to try it out.
A boy in black, holding a snow-white raccoon dog in his arms, walked through a gray world.
It truly was a gray world; the land was gray, the sky was gray, and everything around us was gray.
This place was originally a thick gray fog, but after he swallowed it, it became like this.
The sky did not become clear as the gray fog was swallowed up; it remained unchanged, seemingly without distinction between day and night.
He was in a valley, with a steep mountain wall on one side and a steep slope on the other.
"Bai Zi, where do you think my sister and the others are now?"
He inexplicably walked into a narrow mountain path. It seemed as if something attacked him, and his vision blurred, yet nothing seemed to be there at all.
He swallowed up all the gray mist inside, revealing the terrain.
No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find his sister and senior brother.
The three of them rushed in together.
Bai Zi looked around and said in a strange voice, "I feel like this place is different."
Zhong Yan vigorously ruffled its fur with his large hand and scoffed, "Saying that is the same as saying nothing at all."
Doesn't he know? From the moment they entered the valley, they knew this place was different.
