Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Chapter 360: Saint's Retreat (Part 2)

Afterwards, Gu Chi and his group pushed open the heavy stone door in the middle and walked in.

In the back, the young and powerful men from the major sects, schools and aristocratic families rushed over at the sight of this and followed into the three gates respectively.

As soon as they came in, they immediately felt the rich essence and the five-colored rays of light flowing, as if they were in a sacred pure land.

However, silently, a colorful streak floated from the void, which made Gu Chi alert. The hairs on his body stood up and he hurriedly pulled everyone to the other side to dodge.

"what……"

At the back, a group of people who followed in, at least dozens of them, were hit by the colorful streak and were all cut in half, with blood splattering everywhere.

"Oh my God, what is that?" Zhang Zhen's face was pale. It looked like a sacred and peaceful pure land, but dozens of people died tragically in front of him all of a sudden.

Gu Chi frowned and said, "It seems to be a divine chain of rules."

They moved forward cautiously, quickly passing through the area where colorful clouds were flowing, and soon the temperature around them became scorching hot.

Just ahead, there was a black flame burning.

Li Wangcen pointed ahead and exclaimed, "Look, there's a black lotus in the fire!"

Behind them, a large number of young warriors caught up and also saw the black lotus blooming in the blazing flames. They were immediately shocked.

"Such a strong medicinal fragrance, it must be a magical herb!"

Many people's eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to pounce on it and take the black lotus in the fire for themselves.

However, the black flames were frightening. Even though they were far away, they still felt the unbearable burning sensation.

Gu Chi used the method of peeping into the void in the Qingming Sutra, his eyes glowed purple, and he saw clearly and truly. There was no such thing as the black lotus magic medicine, it was just an illusion.

She held up the innate vision, and a holy bright moon hovered above her head. The hazy and ethereal moonlight enveloped them all, and they waded through the flames and walked forward.

When the black flames were disturbed, they suddenly became even hotter, making it difficult for the young warriors behind to breathe. They were in severe pain all over their bodies from being burned, and their flesh seemed to be breaking apart.

Murong Zhixiu and the others, under the protection of Gu Chi's innate vision, also felt uncomfortable, but they managed to endure it by gritting their teeth.

Only Zhang Zhen kept howling like a pig being slaughtered, with his skin torn and flesh exposed all over his body. He could not withstand the scorching heat, so Gu Chi pulled him closer and used a strand of golden silk from an autumn silkworm to wrap around him.

Obviously, this black flame blocked a large group of people, and only a peerless genius could cross it.

In the back, many people sighed and shook their heads, wanting to follow Gu Chi and his team. Even if they couldn't eat meat, they could at least get some soup.

Some people are straightforward and decisive and just turn around and leave.

"It seems that this kind of place is not suitable for us to come to. Let's look somewhere else."

They turned around and left, but when they walked out of the stone gate and looked back, they were stunned. There was no way behind them. The original stone gate silently turned into a dark red stone wall, and the other two stone gates were also blocked and could no longer be opened.

……

The bright moon was holy, casting down soft moonlight. Under the protection and guidance of Gu Chi, Murong Zhixiu and others quickly passed through the blazing black flames and came to a quiet mountain forest.

"We are in the underground world now, right? How come there are still trees growing here?" Li Wangcen looked around in surprise and doubt.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, there were roaring sounds, and several colorful pythons jumped out from the dense forest with bloody mouths wide open, and pounced on them in the blink of an eye.

"Ow!"

Without saying a word, the big black dog swung the black gold coffin and smashed it at the pythons with such force that it smashed them to pieces with a loud bang.

However, it did not turn into bloody flesh and mud, but turned into a piece of broken light and disappeared.

"Look over there!"

Zhao Shuo pointed to the front, where there was a huge stone with several long snakes scribbled on it. The several colorful giant pythons just now seemed to have been manifested from the stone.

This immediately shocked several people. What kind of method was this? Just casually carving a few long snakes, and they could actually manifest them in spirit!

Tuoba Cang pinched his chin and thought, "I heard that the ancient sages had the power to make their words come true. If this was done by an ancient sage, then it makes perfect sense."

The forest was silent, and there seemed to be no other danger.

They searched the forest but found nothing.

When they walked out of the forest, they were soon blocked by rolling lava.

The boiling magma surged, red as the sea, and a medicinal fragrance floated in the air.

Jiang Chong said excitedly: "There is a Medicine King, and it seems there is more than one!"

Zhang Zhen curled his lips and said, "It must be another illusion created by the rules. They want to trick us into picking it and then devour us!"

Gu Chi stared at the front and said, "No, this time it seems to be true."

In the boiling magma ahead, there are some strange plants growing. They are about three or four feet tall, shiny silver-white all over, emitting a soft glow. They look a bit like thorns, and there are some fiery red fruits hanging on those thorny branches.

The rich medicinal fragrance emanates from those red fruits, and its purity is comparable to that of a medicinal plant that is over 20,000 years old.

When Gu Chi went forward to pick the fruits, the hot magma under his feet suddenly boiled, surging out dense red runes.

Gu Chi moved quickly and flew back immediately after picking six or seven fruits.

"boom"

The next second, a giant silver-white skeleton python leaped out from under the sea of ​​magma.

It did not chase or attack Gu Chi. Instead, it opened and closed its big mouth, and a wave of divine thought came out, actually asking Gu Chi for the red spiritual fruit.

"Weird, is this thing alive or dead?!" Everyone in the distance was surprised, because they could not sense any life or death from this giant skeleton python, only a thick and extremely cold aura of death.

"It's a dead thing, but not completely dead. Look at its skull." Tuoba Cang pointed forward. Inside the skull of the giant python with a hole in the hole, there was a faint light swaying, like a candle in the wind.

That is not the soul, just a regret.

When Gu Chi threw a spiritual fruit into its mouth, it emitted a divine thought wave again, and actually allowed Gu Chi and his group to step on its remains. Then, its whole body bloomed with precious light, and it turned into a silver lightning in a flash, carrying them through the void and rushing towards the other side of the magma sea.

"Oh my God, this giant python was at least a half-step lord when it was alive, but now it has been turned into a tool for crossing the sea." Murong Zhixiu couldn't help but marvel.

Over the long years, the flesh and blood of the giant python had long since rotted away, leaving only a skeleton, but it still had a lingering obsession and could not transcend.

This was not its own fault, because the big black dog found a very overbearing restriction inside its skull. It was obvious that it was deliberately made like this by someone.

The magma sea was scorching hot, containing an inexplicable ancient fire. Even strong bodies like Gu Chi and the big black dog were burned and felt uncomfortable, sweating profusely.

Zhang Zhen tried it out by stretching out an arm into the magma, but his entire arm was almost melted off. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he screamed.

The giant skeleton python was very fast and carried them to the other side of the lava sea and arrived at a forest of rocks.
