Chapter 359: Strange Turn of Events Mournful Echoes
Outside the remnants, finally, there was no trace of corpses.
Instead, there was desolation and silence.
Li Fan didn’t forget his objective. After briefly searching the remnants again without finding any useful information,
he marked the site, chose a direction, and flew off again, skimming the ground.
Two days later, Li Fan found a new ruin in the sea of mist.
The scale of this ruin was several times larger than the first one.
Correspondingly, the scene of countless corpses stacked was even more tragic.
The lively expressions on their faces made Li Fan feel like he was witnessing the scene firsthand.
Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Li Fan searched around as usual.
Although he didn’t find any valuable information, the corpses in the sea of corpses caught his attention.
Most of the cultivators in the first and second ruins died instantly.
Apart from the expressions of terror and despair on their faces, they didn’t leave any information behind.
However, among so many people, there were still one or two whose cultivation was relatively stronger.
Before their deaths, they stared resentfully and unwillingly in a certain direction.
It seemed that the existence that took their lives was there.
Even after several years of death, they still maintained this posture.
This inadvertently pointed out the direction in the white mist for Li Fan.
So, Li Fan followed the instructions of the corpses and swiftly flew for a day, finding the third ruin.
Following the murderer’s path, Li Fan proceeded.
The fourth, fifth, sixth...
Until there was only enough supplies left to last three days.
Li Fan had encountered eleven ruins filled with corpses.
While rushing towards the twelfth ruin,
something strange happened.
He, who had been flying rapidly forward, unexpectedly returned to the eleventh ruin shortly after.
After finding the previous markings, Li Fan confirmed it wasn’t his illusion.
So, he set off again.
The result remained the same.
After circling around, he returned to the starting point.
Li Fan pondered for a moment, not panicking.
He attempted a third time.
This time, he slowed down, constantly sensing the direction of the eleventh ruin while flying.
Finally, he figured out what was going on.
When he reached a certain position during his flight,
he encountered something.
Making Li Fan’s forward direction, in an instant, and without any trace, turned into backward.
During the first two times, Li Fan was completely unaware, thinking he was still flying forward.
In reality, he had turned around.
Naturally, it didn’t take long for him to return to the original starting point.
At this moment, with a solemn expression, Li Fan stood in front of the area that brought about the change.
Entering it, his body position remained unchanged.
But the eleventh ruin, which he had sensed behind him, had somehow appeared in front of him unconsciously.
Li Fan furrowed his brow slightly, turned around, and flew backward, trying to distance himself from the eleventh ruin again.
But before long, the direction became confused again.
However, Li Fan already had experience and kept the eleventh ruin constantly behind him.
Constantly adjusting the direction, he moved forward.
After such twists and turns, and spending two more days, he finally arrived at the twelfth ruin.
This ruin was the largest in scale among all the ruins.
But on the periphery, there was no trace of corpses.
When things are abnormal, they are demonic.
Li Fan gathered his spirits and explored towards the center of the ruin.
All around was silent.
In this separate realm of the maze, even the demonic sounds from the abyss couldn’t reach.
Aside from the sounds he made himself, Li Fan hadn’t heard any other sounds for a long time.
But when Li Fan approached the center of the twelfth ruin, the sudden rustling noises made his hair stand on end.
Through the somehow thinner white mist, Li Fan saw on the ground not far away.
A cultivator lying face up, but with limbs strangely twisted downward.
The hands and feet were irregularly broken.
The toes and fingers were twisted together like twists.
But with these seemingly creepy limbs, the cultivator crawled slowly and painfully in circles.
Unflagging.
For who knows how long, it seemed like it would never stop.
Li Fan looked at the monster ahead, which had survived for an unknown amount of time in the white mist, his scalp tingling, his heart stopping suddenly.
Holding his breath, he slowly retreated.
However, the perception of this twisted monster seemed extremely sharp.
It immediately sensed the arrival of a stranger.
The drooping head snapped onto its belly with a click.
Then it turned directly one hundred and eighty degrees, using its face to stare tightly at Li Fan.
The face of the twisted monster fell into Li Fan’s eyes, instantly making his heart jump.
