As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1013
Chapter 1013 And See the Hooklike Moon
“Little Childe … Little Childe!”
Right at this moment, a few figures suddenly ran over from outside. However, they were robust and were the White Fox Villa’s martial masters.
“You …”
Seeing them coming, Leng Baihu wiped his eyes and looked in the direction of them. “Have you found the entrance to SorrowlessValley?” He asked.
“I found it …”
The few of them were panting. It was obvious that they were already nearby. They had heard the commotion just now, so they rushed over. At this moment, they saw the corpses of two horses on the ground. A person in front of them exclaimed in shock, “This, this …”
Leng Baihu still felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. He gritted his teeth and choked, “White Snow and Red Cloud were killed by two green-haired beasts …”
“This … alas!”
Looking at the two horses that had crossed their necks and died, several martial masters heavily sighed. In the eyes of cultivators, perhaps the two ordinary horses were nothing good, but for mortals like them, the value of horses was not in traveling thousands of miles every day, but in having feelings for others.
Leng Baihu squeezed his fingers and said in a low voice, “Let’s go to Brother Wu Chen with SorrowlessValley and me. The rest of you … bury the snow and red clouds here and come back.”
“Alright …”
Two of the martial masters immediately came out and took Xiao Chen and Leng Baihu outside. The others stayed here to dig a place and bury the corpses of the two horses.
About two hours later, Xiao Chen and Leng Baihu followed the two martial masters to a dense forest. They reached the depths of the forest, and a thick layer of mist gradually enveloped the surroundings. It was originally a hot summer day, but it was just after noon, and even the sun couldn’t shine down.
“This place is so strange …”
Even Leng Baihu felt that there was something strange nearby. Although they were mortals and did not have the divine sense of cultivators, practitioners could sense a “aura field”. The aura here was obviously very strange.
“Little Childe!”
At this moment, another five or six martial masters walked out from the dense fog in the depths of the forest. Leng Baihu looked at them and asked, “How is it? Have you found the entrance to the Carefree Valley?”
“No … I haven’t been able to find it yet.”
The martial artists shook their heads continuously. Even though their martial arts were powerful and they possessed lightning arts, they still couldn’t find the entrance to SorrowlessValley after coming for a few days.
“The fog inside is too thick. Every time we go in, we can’t go too far. We have to retreat, otherwise we’ll get lost inside …” said a person in front of us.
After hearing this, Leng Baihu couldn’t help but frown deeply. He was naturally extremely interested in such a legendary place, but he also knew that this place was unusual. He couldn’t look at Xiao Chen like when he was at home. “Brother Wu Chen, what do you think?”
Xiao Chen took a few steps forward and looked at the faint shadow of a tree in the depths of the mist. “Is there a time when the mist here will dissipate?” He asked.
“Yes!”
A martial artist replied, “Every midnight, when the moon rises, the dense fog in this mountain range begins to slowly disperse. However, before the sun rises the next day, the dense fog will gather again. If it does not emerge before dawn, then it will not come out …”
“The fog just dissipated at night …”
After hearing this, Xiao Chen’s expression froze. At first glance, it sounded like there was a monster. However, this place was strange. Only when the fog dissipated in the night could he continue to walk inside.
Just like that, everyone patiently waited on the spot. The few martial masters who buried the horses also came over. It was only at night that the mountain forest gradually began to be invaded by cold air.
Even deep in the mountains, June and summer hadn’t passed yet, so the night shouldn’t be so cold. It seemed like this place was really full of strange things.
“The fog is really beginning to disperse …”
Around midnight, the sky was hazy and a hook moon appeared. The dense fog in the forest finally began to disperse, and a faint path appeared in front of it.
It was unknown where the path leading to. The dozen or so martial masters were all on guard. Even though everyone possessed martial arts skills, there were many taboos in the mountains, especially in the remote mountains. Even cultivators could not offend them, and mortals did not dare to touch them.
“Brother Wu Chen, do we want to enter?”
Leng Baihu looked at Xiao Chen. Although he wasn’t afraid, this time he wanted to help Xiao Chen find where SorrowlessValley was, so he naturally wanted to ask him what he meant.
“Yes, be careful.”
Xiao Chen stared at the path in front of him and didn’t say anything else. He went ahead first. Leng Baihu immediately followed him. As for the dozen or so martial masters, they were divided into three paths, one on each side and the other on the left and right. After that, they carefully headed towards the front.
“Sasha …”
The cold wind was somewhat gloomy, shaking the surrounding tree shadows. Those tree shadows landed on the ground in a chaotic manner. They looked like elves and ghosts with their claws and teeth fluttering, causing one’s heart to tremble in fear.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the group was still in this dense forest. The Leng Yue in the sky was like a hook, emitting an indescribable strange chill. Even cultivators in the mortal world would feel uncomfortable when they came to such a gloomy place.
Just like this, when dawn approached, a faint mountain valley appeared in front of him. However, it was already dawn, and the fog in the dense forest gradually began to fill up again.
“Little Childe, we can’t go any further …”
A martial artist looked at the mountain shadow in front of him and said, “It’s almost dawn. We must go out before sunrise. Otherwise … Otherwise, I wonder what will happen.”
At this moment, everyone stopped. A few days ago, many powerful people came from this mountain range. The dozen or so martial masters of White Fox Villa were able to find this place without alarming the others. They had already done their best. Although everyone possessed martial arts skills and did not fear the ferocious beasts in the mountain, they were still only mortals in the mortal world.
Xiao Chen looked at the faintly discernible outline of the mountain range in front of him. Although he no longer had his previous cultivation and was no longer able to extend his divine sense out, his perception of the outside world was still sharp. At this moment, he could feel the Spiritual Energy flowing from the front. It seemed that the legendary Carefree Valley was not far ahead.
“You guys go back.”
Xiao Chen stopped and said to Leng Baihu and the others. It would be fine if there weren’t any cultivators in front of him, but there were already cultivators nearby. He didn’t want these mortals to follow him into danger, not because he was worried that those cultivators would attack them, but because … Immortals would fight and mortals would avoid them.
“But Brother Wu Chen, you’re alone …”
Leng Baihu frowned slightly and looked at the dozen or so martial masters behind him, “Forget it. Otherwise, you guys should leave first. Brother Wu Chen and I will go in.”
“Little Childe …”
Hearing this, the dozen or so martial masters were slightly shocked. “But …”
“Alright, alright.”
Leng Baihu raised his hand and stopped him from continuing, “I’m with Brother Wu Chen. I’m not even afraid of the Golden Lion Berserk Saber. With so many of you with me, it’s easy to be exposed. It’s better to wait for Brother Wu Chen and I outside.”
“This …”
The dozen or so martial artists revealed expressions of embarrassment. In the end, they still nodded their heads. They were well aware of Little Childe’s temperament. Although Little Childe was young, he was already wandering around alone. He was no longer a child.
“Little Childe … you must be careful. There are falcons that we have brought out from this mountain. If you and Wu Chen Childe encounter any danger, summon the falcons with a whistle. We will immediately rush over to save them.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Leng Baihu looked at the dozen or so people. After they left, he turned around and said to Xiao Chen, “Brother Wu Chen, let’s go and take a look inside that mountain!”
