Chapter 56: Halfway Through the Journey

As they walked along, this land brought them countless "surprises".

In addition to the ground that sucked things to the ground and corroded them, there were endless traps. Some ground would shoot out countless black air blades, cutting everything into pieces; some ground would have black dead grass between the tiles suddenly grow wildly, tightly wrapping everything, and in a moment, the black grass would loosen and retract into the ground, and the entangled items would disappear; some ground would actually roar like a living thing when something passed by, shaking the things above it into powder.

What scared the two the most was the ground that could affect people's minds. This kind of ground had no reaction when dead things flew over, and when the two stepped on it, a strange force instantly invaded their sea of ​​consciousness, trying to control them. If Zi Yuan had not had similar experiences before, and reacted quickly, and pulled Li Chuyi, who looked dazed, back quickly, then the two of them might have been killed.

The thrills along the way made the two of them very frightened. They were afraid of encountering such a sinister place of bewilderment again. They tied a rope around their waists. When they encountered an area that had no reaction to dead objects, they entered one after the other to avoid being trapped in it when they entered at the same time.

Under Li Chuyi's insistence, he was the first one to go every time, which made Ziyuan's cold heart warm again.

After bypassing a swamp-like area, Li Chuyi sat on the ground.

"No, there is almost nothing to throw away."

Li Chuyi said helplessly after flipping through the storage bag. Along the way, in order to explore the way, he threw away everything he could throw away, even some silver and copper coins he had hidden. Now there are only dry food and some magic weapons in the storage bag. If they go on, they can only throw away these treasures.

"What should I do?" Ziyuan was also helpless. She was a female ghost. Unlike humans, she didn't carry any fragments with her. Even her clothes were condensed from her own Yinming death energy. She had no way to deal with it.

"The dry food must not be thrown away, or I will starve to death. As for the other treasures, even if I throw them away, I can't throw them away many times." Li Chuyi made a bitter face and rummaged in the storage bag.

Suddenly, Li Chuyi's mind moved, and he took out a long sword wrapped in animal skin, which was the long sword extorted from the array spirit of the Sutra Library in the Wuyang Tomb. Looking at the long sword, Li Chuyi remembered that the Taoist priest had said that this sword contained stardust iron, and even the Taoist priest's cultivation level could be carried by this sword for more than 50%, so it should be extremely strong.

Secretly comparing the Taoist priest's half cultivation level with the danger of this black dead land with many traps, Li Chuyi thought that even if the Taoist priest only had half of his cultivation level, it would still be more dangerous. It seemed that the various strange traps in this dead land should not be able to do anything to this sword.

If it is really damaged, there is nothing to do. After all, although the treasure is good, it is not as important as your life.

Pulling the sword out of the animal-skin sword sheath, Li Chuyi carefully poked it towards the ground next to him that could turn into a black swamp at any time. The tip of the sword gently poked into the black swamp and then immediately pulled it out. Li Chuyi put the tip of the sword close to his nose and examined it carefully.

He was surprised to find that the black swamp that had corroded the silver he had just thrown out did not hurt the animal-skin long sword at all, and even left no trace. The sword body was still cold and spotless.

Li Chuyi, relieved, gestured to Ziyuan and walked forward with the long sword.

With the existence of the long sword, the two could always detect whether there was any danger ahead and the range of the danger, instead of having to walk a long distance and then throw stones to ask for directions by feeling as before when they encountered a dangerous place.

This made the two of them speed up a lot, and Li Chuyi looked at the animal-skin long sword, and felt more and more distressed. He felt bad for the things he had thrown away before. There were chess pieces made by his favorite Taoist priest, combs, mirrors, shoes, socks, and even his bedding roll. What made him most distressed was that the little silver and copper coins he had hidden away with great difficulty were also thrown away. The pain of losing money made him feel heartbroken.

"Fortunately, there are fifty taels left in the crotch!" Li Chuyi murmured, and he felt much more comforted in his heart.

Ziyuan looked at him strangely and asked, "When you came here through the space crack, weren't your clothes torn? If I remember correctly, I helped you put on your clothes now."

Li Chuyi was stunned when he heard this.

Ziyuan looked at him in surprise, and then his face changed. He thought he had stepped into the area of ​​​​enchanting mind again. He exerted force on his hand and pulled him back.

Li Chuyi, who was dragged and fell, sat on the ground, staring at Ziyuan blankly, and suddenly his mouth pursed and he cried out loudly.

"Damn Dayan! My money!!!!!! My money!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ziyuan's forehead was immediately covered with black lines. This little fat guy, he's sick again.

After waiting for a long time, Li Chuyi finally cried enough and the crying gradually stopped. Wiping his tears, he stood up with a grunt, looking at the sky with a ferocious face, and said hatefully: "Da Yan, you damned one! You wait, when I have achieved success in cultivation, I will definitely destroy you! ! ! ! When the time comes, I will kill all the men, send the women to Taoist priests for salvation, and take away all the money in the treasury! Take away all! Take away all! ... Looking at the black altar in front of him, Li Chuyi sat on the ground with a tired face and said, "No, I can't walk anymore."

Zi Yuan nodded when she heard it. She couldn't walk anymore. The ghost with dead air was surging from time to time, and occasionally some purple air drifted out, as if sweating.

They couldn't walk because of physical problems, but because of the increasing pressure from this black land.

When he first entered, although he felt that his body became heavier, Li Chuyi didn't care, because this pressure had no effect on him. Zi Yuan was the same. Although he felt that there was a heavy stone in his heart, it didn't matter.

However, as they went deeper and deeper, the pressure on the two of them became heavier. When they walked a quarter of the way, Li Chuyi had already begun to silently use the mysterious skills to resist the pressure. And now that he is at the current position, Li Chuyi has done his best to resist. This is his limit. If he goes on, let alone the endless traps, even this pressure will crush him to death.

Similarly, Zi Yuan is the same. Now that she has reached this point, although it is not her limit, it is not far away. The pressure in her heart is so heavy that her condensed ghost body feels like it is about to explode. She knows that if she continues to walk, she may really explode and die, and even her soul will explode and completely disappear.

"What should we do?" Ziyuan asked.

Li Chuyi was silent for a while, and said: "Let's take a look first. If it doesn't work, we will return the same way. We can see the altar clearly here. Let's see if there is any formation on it that looks like a teleportation formation. If there is, we will find a way to get there."

Ziyuan looked at him in surprise: "Do you know formations?"

Li Chuyi nodded: "I know a little bit. I have seen it many times with Taoist priests before, so I know a little."

"Do you know the teleportation formation?" Ziyuan asked again.

"I don't know." Li Chuyi shook his head and looked at Ziyuan who was frowning, saying, "But I can check it. The Taoist gave me a set of books called "The Universe and All Things", which contains a chapter specifically about formations. I didn't read it much before because I wasn't interested, but a formation as famous as the teleportation formation should have records in it."

After saying that, Li Chuyi took out a thin book from his storage bag and flipped through it under Ziyuan's surprised eyes.
