Eco turned a blind eye to the changes in his surroundings and continued to walk forward slowly, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the forest. Every step he took seemed to be nothing special, but he was able to cover a distance of nearly a thousand feet.
Madam Liu Hua, Fu Jian, Qin Yuan, and the rest followed closely behind him. Chen Yang, Suntu, and Han Li were intentionally or unintentionally lagging behind.
Although they did not show much emotion on their faces, they just lowered their heads and hurried on without a word. Other than the rustling of their footsteps, the surroundings were extremely quiet.
"Fellow Chen, is the forbidden area that City Lord E mentioned really in front of us?
Why does this rainforest look so strange? "Han Li looked at Ge and communicated with Chen Yang and Suntu through telepathy.
Eche was far too powerful. With Qin Yuan, Fu Jian, the eagle-nosed man, and the others, Han Li and the others were at an absolute disadvantage. Under these circumstances, they had no choice but to let go of their prejudices and secretly join hands to avoid any mishaps.
"I've only heard a little about the Great Ruins. I'm not sure where the so-called skeleton is.
However, judging from the power of the stars in the void, we are indeed heading into the depths of the Great Ruins.
No matter what, you have a key and we've already agreed to go treasure hunting. It won't do us any good if Ge acts rashly. "Chen Yang hesitated for a moment before replying telepathically.
"I hope so." Han Li was silent for a moment before replying telepathically.
Although he said so, he did not let his guard down and maintained absolute vigilance.
"Speaking of the key, I think it's a little strange.
According to City Lord E, five keys are needed to open the forbidden area. Fellow Li only has one key, but City Lord E didn't take it out to look for the other keys. Could it be that he has already obtained the other four keys? "Suntu suddenly asked telepathically.
"Perhaps." Han Li's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Chen Yang and replied with telepathy.
Chen Yang's eyes were as calm as water and he did not reply.
"I don't know what the blood-red key is used for. It's fine if it's only used to open the door of the forbidden area. However, if we still need it after entering the forbidden area, City Lord E has the upper hand with four keys. We can't be careless," Suntu continued.
When Han Li heard this, his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
He didn't think of that. If that was really the case, then it would indeed be troublesome.
Scully was still walking forward leisurely, as if he didn't care about Han Li and the others who were far behind him.
"City Lord, Chen Yang and Sun Tu have wild ambitions. They seem to be obedient on the surface, but they are colluding with each other behind your back. They won't listen to your orders.
I'm afraid that they've already colluded with the Puppet City, and I don't know what they're planning. Why don't we attack together and kill them here? When we reach the forbidden area, we'll have one less variable.
With your strength, you will definitely be able to kill Li Feiyu in an instant and take the key. You won't give him the time to destroy the key. "Fu Jian took a step closer to Ge and transmitted his voice with a fierce glint in his eyes.
"There's no need for that. I believe that Chen Yang and Sun Tu wouldn't do something like that to the Puppet City. The reason why they would do that is because they are wary of us. Now that we are in the Great Ruins, it's inevitable that they would think that way." Sego smiled and replied telepathically.
"City Lord, you're too kind!
As the saying goes, you may know a person's face but not his heart. I'm afraid that Chen Yang still holds a grudge against you because of what happened in the past. We have to be on guard. "Fu Jian's expression became anxious as he transmitted his voice again.
"City Lord Fu, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. It's better to make peace now. If we rashly clash with each other, we'll be falling into the Puppet City's trap." Scully replied with a smile.
When Fu Jian saw this, he could only nod his head and say nothing more.
Han Li looked at Scully, who was in front of him, and Fu Jian, who had suddenly approached him. His eyes flashed slightly as if he was thinking about something.
The group of people continued to move forward while each of them had their own ulterior motives.
A few days passed quickly, and the group gradually reached the depths of the rainforest.
The trees here were abnormally tall. Giant trees that required several people to wrap their arms around could be seen everywhere. The other small plants gradually disappeared.
Scully opened his mouth and told the group that the forbidden area was not far ahead. This made everyone's spirits rise.
Han Li followed the crowd, and his brows furrowed slightly as he looked around.
"Daoist Li, what's wrong?
I see that you're frowning all the time. Do you find anything wrong with this place? "Shi Chuankong, who was next to him, took a step forward and transmitted his voice.
"Nothing. I just feel that it's a little strange." Han Li shook his head.
"Strange?
What's strange? "Shi Chuankong asked in surprise.
"The power of the stars in the Great Ruins is so rich, and there are so many trees here. However, we haven't seen any scaled beasts along the way. Logically speaking, the environment here should be very suitable for the scaled beasts to live in," Han Li transmitted his voice.
"If that's the case, it's indeed a little strange." Shi Chuankong nodded slowly.
"Forget it. There's no point in thinking about it. According to Scully, the forbidden area is just ahead.
Daoist Shi, you said that there's a way to leave the Accumulated Scale Realm there. How confident are you? "Han Li's eyes narrowed as he transmitted his voice.
"This information wasn't told to me by Third Brother. I've read a lot of information about the Accumulated Scale Realm in our Sun Night Dynasty's library. It should be correct." Shi Chuankong transmitted his voice.
"Daoist Shi, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that this is a big matter. Can you explain it more clearly?" Han Li continued to ask.
"Daoist Li, please forgive me for not being able to explain it to you. This matter involves a secret of the Sun Night Dynasty. It's not good to tell outsiders. However, I can swear to the Heavenly Fiend Saint Emperor that I'm telling the truth." Shi Chuankong transmitted his voice solemnly.
"If that's the case, I won't ask anymore." Han Li's eyebrows twitched as he nodded.
Shi Chuankong's expression relaxed when he heard this.
The group continued to move forward. After walking for half a day, a large blood-red mist appeared in front of them.
The mist was extremely dense and connected to the sky. It was impossible to see the end of it. It was the same on the left and right side. It spread to the end of their vision like a blood-red wall, blocking their way.
The blood-red mist rolled like a living thing and gave off faint rumbling sounds. It was very strange.
Everyone stopped and looked at the blood-red mist in front of them. They looked at each other and then at Ge.
"Everyone, there's no need to worry. This area is called the Sea of Sulfur Mist. As long as you pass through this place, you'll be able to see the forbidden area. The Sea of Sulfur Mist isn't dangerous to you, and instead, there are some benefits. The Blood Clouds of Sulfur are born here, and if you're lucky, you might be able to encounter one or two."
If you're lucky, you might encounter one or two. "Ge didn't care at all and continued to walk forward.
Hearing this, everyone's expression relaxed. At the same time, their eyes lit up.
"Daoist Shi, do you know about this blood-red mist sea?" Han Li transmitted his voice to Shi Chuankong.
"I don't. So the Sulphuric Blood Clouds are produced here."
Shi Chuankong's eyes shone as he looked at the area in front of him. He seemed to be full of desire for the Sulphuric Blood Clouds that Ge mentioned.
Hearing this, Han Li's expression changed slightly. He had a pondering look on his face.
"It's hard to see in the mist sea. Be careful not to get lost." Ge took the lead and walked into the blood-red mist. The others followed.
Han Li also walked into the blood-red mist. As soon as he entered the mist, his body immediately became heavy. It was as if he had entered the bottom of the sea. A huge pressure came from all directions.
The blood-red mist was abnormally heavy!
Han Li raised his eyebrows. He quickly calmed down and continued to walk forward.
Although the pressure was not small, it didn't affect him much.
The range of vision in the blood-red mist was greatly reduced. He could only see up to a hundred feet. The mist also greatly restricted his divine sense. He could only see up to twenty or thirty feet. It was not much better than his vision.
The blood-red mist sea seemed to cover a large area. After walking for about fifteen minutes, there was still no sign of the end.
Everyone was a little worried at first. After walking for a while, they didn't see any danger. They all relaxed and spread out in a line. They searched the surroundings for the Sulphuric Blood Clouds.
Chen Yang and the other city lords also let go of their reservations and spread out their divine sense to search the surroundings.
Only Ge continued to walk forward quietly. He didn't seem to care about the Sulphuric Blood Clouds.
Han Li secretly looked at Ge, who was not far away, and his gaze flickered.
Ge was actually so familiar with the Great Ruins. It was as if he knew everything. For some reason, this made him feel uneasy in his heart.
"Dao Friend Li, why are you in a daze? I know your divine sense is strong. Don't waste it. Hurry up and find the Sulphuric Blood Clouds." Shi Chuankong saw that Han Li was in a daze and couldn't help but remind him.
Han Li came back to his senses. He didn't say anything more to Shi Chuankong and spread out his divine sense.
He was naturally yearning for the Sulphuric Blood Clouds that were the reward for first place in the fifty percent competition.
At this moment, a whistling sound rang out. A figure flew out in front of them. It was Chen Yang.
Han Li saw this and hurriedly used his divine sense to sense in that direction.
At this moment, a blood light shot out like lightning from the fog in front of them and was caught by Chen Yang.
The blood light also revealed its true appearance. It was a palm-sized gelatinous blood cloud that was emitting a sparkling blood light.
"This is the Sulphuric Blood Cloud?"
Han Li was far away from Chen Yang, so he couldn't see it with his naked eye. However, his divine sense had sensed everything and locked onto the blood cloud.
There was indeed an extremely powerful energy wave coming from the blood cloud. Not only was there the power of the stars, but there was also an incomparably pure power of qi and blood. It should be the Sulphuric Blood Cloud without a doubt.
The others also sensed this situation, but the blood cloud had already fallen into Chen Yang's hands. They couldn't help but sigh in pity and could only give up.
Chen Yang's face was full of joy. After sweeping a glance at the others, he immediately stuffed the blood cloud into his mouth and swallowed it, as if he was afraid someone would snatch it.
Han Li's divine sense sensed all this, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
After Chen Yang swallowed the blood cloud, his body immediately glowed with a dazzling blood light. The mysterious acupoints on the surface of his body seemed to be stimulated by the blood light. One by one, they lit up quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred mysterious acupoints were lit up.
When he saw this situation, his complexion changed. His figure flickered and immediately retreated, disappearing into the blood mist.
Han Li saw this and his heart moved.
Although Chen Yang moved quickly, the range of his divine sense was far beyond that of others. Before Chen Yang left the range of his divine sense, he clearly saw the number of opened mysterious acupoints on his body. There seemed to be no less than two hundred and sixty.
