Chapter 1347 - Path In Front

Chapter 1347: Path In Front

Chu Liuyue followed Shangguan Jing’s instructions and walked forward. She wasn’t fast.

In actual fact, everyone had basically exhausted quite a bit of their force by this moment, so they couldn’t be any faster. The nine-tailed green crows would be able to catch up with them sooner or later.

Hearing the noise of the flapping wings rapidly approaching, Elder Hua Feng couldn’t help but glance at Chu Liuyue from the corner of his eyes. Yet, he saw that the latter was exceptionally nonchalant and calm.

Such a stable mentality didn’t seem like a young man in his teens at all. It wasn’t that he wasn’t curious. Instead, he instinctively chose to trust Chu Liuyue because he knew about the red-gold heavenly phoenix’s existence.

The crowd silently walked forward.

Whoosh!

A terrifying aura attacked from behind!

Jiang Zhiyuan was stunned and immediately dodged to the side! A green fire then rapidly brushed past the side of her body!

Her sleeves started burning instantly!

“Ah!” Jiang Zhiyuan yelled out in pain and hurriedly extinguished the fire!

That fire was quickly put out, but more than half her sleeves were burned. Her shoulders were also burned, resulting in a scorched and distorted wound.

The intense pain spread everywhere!

Jiang Zhiyuan’s lips turned white in a flash. In this cold and icy place, the harsh winds attacked her bones, and her forehead broke out into a cold sweat.

She turned around and looked back weakly. The nine-tailed green crow flying at the front launched an attack toward her!

Their target was indeed her!

At this point, Jiang Zhiyuan didn’t care about the pain as she started running forward at full speed. As she ran, she kept thinking of ways to survive in her head.

Some of the people in front turned around and saw the scene, but they didn’t help. At such times, they had to leave some strength for themselves to escape. How could they have any energy left to help others, not to mention that this ‘other person’ was still the culprit who brought them into this mess?

…

Jiang Zhiyuan was tortured on this side, yet she couldn’t voice her sufferings. She ran crazily, but Chu Liuyue didn’t even give her an additional gaze.

The further they walked, the clearer Shangguan Jing’s memory seemed to be.

To Chu Liuyue, this was clearly a boundless snowy field. But to Shangguan Jing, he seemed to clearly know all the trees and plants that had once been here.

At this point, Chu Liuyue could confirm that her ancestor had come here before.

“Ancestor, will your remaining soul be here?” Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but ask.

Shangguan Jing fell silent for a moment before sighing lightly. “Maybe…”

In actual fact, he did feel that something was summoning him. This feeling was very familiar.

As time passed, the feeling became increasingly strong.

At this moment, those nine-tailed green crows had already caught up with them! A portion of them even went straight ahead and directly blocked Chu Liuyue and the rest.

Whoosh!

Countless green fires flew out and formed a barrier in front of them!

The temperature of the fire wasn’t high, and there was even cold intent. It burned crazily on the snowy ground, yet the snow had no signs of melting at all.

Chu Liuyue’s eyes turned cold.

“Chu Yue, move back. Let me—” Before Elder Hua Feng could finish his sentence, he saw Chu Liuyue directly stepping over it!

The green fire seemed to have met something terrifying as it retreated quickly!

Everything happened within a moment. If it weren’t for Elder Hua Feng standing beside Chu Liuyue and staring at her the whole time, he wouldn’t have seen such a small scene.

He was dazed for a moment and immediately understood as he hurled out a wave of force.

The fires started extinguishing.

The crowd hurriedly forward.

Shi Rui’er saw all of this and planned on going up to ask when she saw Chu Liuyue suddenly stopping in her tracks.

Elder Hua Feng also hurriedly stopped.

“Why—” The moment she spoke, her voice trailed off. That was because she had also seen the scene before her.

A gully was right in front of them! It was as if the ground was suddenly split open by a gigantic axe, and a narrow gully—which one couldn’t see the end of—spread across.

They couldn’t see where this gully started or where it ended. They only knew that this break in the ground stopped them.

Both sides had black rocks that seemed to have experienced all sorts of weather from the past thousands of years.

Thick, ancient, spacious.

The ground below them had red sand accumulating there.

The wind blew past, and the layer of thin sand on the surface rose with the wind.

The sand was rough, and the aura was humid.

Nobody knew where exactly this path led.

“Why… is there such a gully here…” muttered Shi Rui’er softly in shock.

She surveyed her surroundings, and it was filled with white snow. It was as if no matter where they walked, they could never reach the end. Yet, there was actually such a special scene in such a place…

All the snow and wind seemed to avoid this area automatically.

The air that came up from below was dry and hot. It was like a completely different world.

At this point, the crowd behind had walked over. After seeing everything before them, the crowd fell silent.?This… How should we choose??

At this point, the nine-tailed green crows were already right behind them. However, they seemed to be fearing something as they flew back and forth on the spot and refused to take another step forward.

“They don’t seem like they dare to approach the gully.” A soft voice came from the crowd.

“But we’re also on the brink of death… Even these nine-tailed green crows are behaving like this. Who knows what’s hidden below this gully?”

“But we don’t have any other choice now.. There are so many nine-tailed green crows; we’re not their match at all.”

…

Clearly, quite a few people were hesitant about this gully that suddenly appeared.

At this point, Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and jumped!

“Chu Yue!” Elder Hua Feng gasped in shock.

After a moment of hesitation, he immediately flew up and jumped in!?At this point, we can only continue going forward! Even if there are dangers lying there, are we considered safe now??

Seeing Elder Hua Feng and Chu Liuyue going down, Shi Rui’er knitted her brows slightly and flew down as well.

In this situation, everyone chose to follow them.

From afar, the figures in the snowy field rapidly disappeared.

Those nine-tailed green crows let out shrieks of anger, but they didn’t dare to go close. After circling in mid-air for a long time, they finally left.
