Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Let’s Give It a Try

The three fell silent.

Yes, indeed, even if one possessed great cultivation skills, if one couldn’t find a way out, one would only die trapped here!

When your lifespan ends, after thousands or even tens of thousands of years, you will die like this.

This is the most despairing thing!

Being hunted to death by others is nothing compared to the despair and resentment of this situation!

Then, the old man started to chat with the three of them, through which Jiang Xiaobai learned about the situation in this place.

The old man’s name was Xu Sanshi. This strange place was near the Northern State of the Eastern Region, close to the edge of the Holy City. At that time, Xu Sanshi’s strength had reached the peak of the Fusion phase. He had heard about the Holy Realm and intended to try his luck there.

But before he even reached the Holy City, he encountered a high-level ambush. Unable to fight back, he had no choice but to flee. In his panic, he didn’t know where he was running to.

All he knew was that there was a maze-like mountain range ahead of him. He rushed into it and used the terrain to lose his pursuers, then entered a lake.

Subsequently, he inexplicably ended up here. The rest of the story wasn’t much worth telling. He discovered the problem with this place, but it was already too late to escape.

His spiritual power solidified at a rapid pace. Let alone getting out of that lake, he couldn’t even sustain his own life!

This place was extremely peculiar. You could cultivate, but you were also like an ordinary person!

It was extremely horrifying and despairing!

“I have been here for at least a thousand years, maybe even ten thousand years. I have seen many people come here.”

“None of them could withstand it. They all died. Oh, by the way, do you guys want to know how I managed to survive back then?”

Having finished talking, Xu Sanshi bared his black teeth in a grin.

Jiang Xiaobai and his companions felt a wave of chill sweep over them. Without needing to think, they knew this guy survived by resorting to cannibalism.

“I was lucky. When I first arrived here, two guys had just starved to death. Their bodies were not intact.”

“Can you understand the feeling of eating oneself when one is starving?”

“Their bodies, I ate them sparingly, for three whole years!”

“But later on, people would accidentally wander into this place. I would hide and wait, then eat them after they died.”

“You could say what I have experienced here is beyond your imagination. But don’t worry, I don’t need to eat those things anymore, I just need someone to talk to.”

“Oh.”

Jiang Xiaobai spoke casually, then a phoenix-tail fish suddenly appeared in his hand.

His system storage space did not require spiritual power or soul power. All it needed was a single thought.

However, this scene stunned everyone present.

When spiritual power solidified, one couldn’t even connect to one’s storage ring, let alone use it with soul power.

How did Jiang Xiaobai do it?

Xu Sanshi couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He rubbed his eyes and then rushed over to Jiang Xiaobai, snatching the phoenix-tail fish from his hand.

His entire body was shaking. Then, tears began to pour from his eyes.

“Phoenix-tail fish. This is a fresh phoenix-tail fish that just died!”

Xu Sanshi exclaimed, then took a bite, swallowed the fish raw in a few gulps in front of everyone’s eyes!

After that, Xu Sanshi’s face showed an expression of enjoyment!

The man was crying out of sheer excitement!

“Good lad, after so many years, I haven’t tasted anything fresh!”

“How did you do it, lad?”

Having finished talking, Xu Sanshi suddenly turned pale, because Jiang Xiaobai was watching him vigilantly.

Xu Sanshi was at a loss for words for a moment.

“I just couldn’t resist the taste of fresh food after being deprived for so long. I don’t need to eat to survive. As long as you guys can eat, that’s great, you could accompany me for a few more years.”

“And don’t worry about me attacking you. My spiritual power is so weak, it’s as good as nonexistent.”

Jiang Xiaobai was skeptical, but eventually gave Xu Sanshi one of the two Salmon Dragon Kings he possessed. He then prepared sashimi from the other one.

“Good lad!”

Xu Sanshi gave a wry smile, holding the Salmon Dragon King in his hand as if it were a priceless treasure.

Soon, the fish was consumed by the three. Jiang Xiaobai then stood up.

“You said that you’ve wandered around this entire place before, and you didn’t find any exits or any clues?” He looked at Xu Sanshi.

“That’s right, I tried countless methods, but I couldn’t leave this place.”

“As for the lake, you guys can forget about it.”

“If a cultivator falls in, he can still come out using spiritual power before it solidifies. But if you can’t use spiritual power, you can only sink in.”

“This water, it has no buoyancy at all!”

Xu Sanshi’s words completely extinguished the glimmer of hope in Jiang Xiaobai’s heart.

So, there really was no way out?

He had thought about using the Random Teleportation Talisman. After the various things that had happened before, his reputation had reached a terrifying 7023 points!

Jiang Xiaobai assumed that his reputation would only be so high after he made a move on King Li. Including some deductions, he still had more than 400,000 reputation points.

However, he had tried, and he couldn’t mobilise a single bit of spiritual power. He could only absorb, not utilise!

He couldn’t even activate the talisman, and using soul power was useless.

Currently, only Xu Sanshi could slightly mobilise a bit of spiritual power, which was enough to activate the appendix. However, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t afford to give him such a thing.

Being idle, huh?

“Are you sure there really is no other way?” Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes.

“Really, you don’t believe me?”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head: “It’s not that, let me ask you something else, do you know what this fog is used for?”

“The fog contains a special power that greatly aids cultivation. But what of it? Even if you can cultivate here, how can you escape?”

“You can’t escape anyway!”

“Okay, doesn’t matter, I’ll accept it then!”

Jiang Xiaobai spoke casually, and directly released his two masters from the storage space.

There was no way to escape for now anyway. No matter how anxious he was, it was useless. Let’s let his two masters absorb some here.

It wasn’t a bad thing!

Everyone was then shocked!

They saw the moment Yuanhong and the Seven-Treasure Pagoda appeared, they began to frantically absorb the surrounding fog and heavenly and earthly spiritual energies!

The speed of absorption was astonishing!

The fog around them visibly swirled toward these two post-celestial spirit treasures in the air, forming whirlpools in the air.

The terrifying rate of absorption left Xu Sanshi astounded and standing upright.

“Kid, what kind of treasure is this?”

“Oh, there’s no treasure, just something for a meal. Don’t mind the details.”

“I reckon the impossibility of leaving this place probably has to do with the fog. Let’s absorb it first and figure things out later. If we can absorb it all, maybe there will be some clues.”

Jiang Xiaobai quickly waved his hands, speaking nonchalantly.

But Xu Sanshi’s face twitched.

“You think you can absorb all of the fog here? Do you know how vast this place is!”
