Chapter 604: Chapter 604: A Different Wilderness!

Having passed through the barrier, Lu Chen’s vision flickered; he then found himself on the ground.

He hastily turned to look back.

The landscape was filled with green mountains and sparkling waves. Li Yanran, carrying Qin Yaotiao on her back, had also followed through.

Four disciples from the Xuanyun Sect followed closely behind.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, over there... there are Ancient Beasts!"

Ancient Beasts?

Lu Chen was taken aback.

He did not recognize these beasts, only finding them extremely peculiar in appearance.

But he had never contemplated the words "Ancient Era" before.

However, upon further thought, Lu Chen asked in alarm, "Haven’t you encountered them in this forbidden land before?"

"No," Chu Aosheng’s expression also turned solemn, "We were brought here by someone. After appearing in this place, we discovered that she carried the Wood Spiritual Bead, so we intended to snatch it."

The "she" he mentioned was naturally referring to Li Yanran.

Li Yanran’s expression remained unchanged, but she let out a soft snort.

With Lu Chen present, she had no further response.

Lu Chen nodded, guessing in his mind.

This forbidden land might be composed of wilderness areas pieced together.

So then...

Was there a Teleportation Array within that stretch of wilderness as well?

"Let’s discuss this matter later. How much do you understand about the Ancient Beasts?"

Lu Chen asked urgently. He was not certain whether the escaped Ancient Beasts could pass through the barrier and chase after them to this place.

"The biggest difference between the Ancient Beasts and today’s beasts is their spiritual intelligence. Not only are they as intelligent as humans, but some are even far superior to us!"

Lu Chen was shocked.

Could it be that the saying "nearing the wit of demons" originated from the Ancient Era?

Beasts were already physically formidable, and if their intelligence were also high, what would he use to fight them?

It seemed, now that he had found people, it was best to leave this place quickly!

"Fellow Daoist Chu, what do you four plan to do?"

Lu Chen glanced at the two bloodied figures at his feet. They were none other than Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing, who were still unconscious.

He had intended, after rescuing Qin Yaotiao and Li Yanran, to treat their wounds so they could wake up and then find a way to leave the forbidden land together.

But the situation seemed urgent; he was not sure he would have the time to revive them.

If they were to move, he would have to leave them to the care of the four from the Xuanyun Sect.

As for whether they would harm Chu Zhongtian...

That was something to deal with after they got out!

Chu Zhongtian’s life was indeed important, but more so, Lu Chen was thinking of using him.

In comparison, Lu Chen had attachments towards Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing.

When comparing the two, one had to differentiate between what was more and less important.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you have a method to leave this strange place?"

All four were pleasantly surprised.

Indeed, this forbidden land was so bizarre; it certainly contained treasures.

But one also needed to be alive to enjoy them.

"It’s just an idea; I’m not sure if we can leave."

Lu Chen took a deep breath and said, "However, this part of the wilderness doesn’t seem dangerous. Let’s move away a bit. We’d better not stay too close to the boundary!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Li Yanran, carrying Qin Yaotiao, also helped Yu Qingqing to her feet.

Lu Chen took Mo Buwen with him.

All nine people headed quickly towards the far end of the wilderness.

Yet, after a short while, the barrier once again glowed with spiritual light, rippling like the surface of a lake.

Then, one after another, corpses tumbled through from that side!

Completely devoid of life!

And even...

The corpses were not even intact!

Lu Chen did not look back, but this scene was fully etched in his mind!

His hair stood on end, and he couldn’t help but quicken his pace.

He did not need to run very fast.

He just needed to be faster than the four behind him.

If the beasts could cross the barrier and give chase, they would surely go after the four from the Xuanyun Sect first!

However, this time, Lu Chen’s guess was wrong.

All the cultivators had died, their bodies dumped here, yet not a single beast had made it to this wilderness.

"Could it be that these wilderness areas also have limitations?"

Lu Chen murmured to himself, continuing to move forward.

Instead, the four from the Xuanyun Sect slowed down their pace.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, wait."

After a moment, Chu Aosheng took the initiative to call out, stopping Lu Chen.

"What is it, Fellow Daoist Chu?"

Lu Chen pretended ignorance and turned to ask.

"You go ahead a few steps. We’ll look back and make sure the beasts are not following. How does that sound?"

When Chu Aosheng spoke these words, he could not hide the greedy look in his eyes.

Lu Chen had long guessed that the four intended to claim the storage bags hanging from the corpses of those ten-plus people!

He remained unfazed inside, but his face showed gratitude, "Such righteousness from you all. Then we shall wait ahead for Fellow Daoist Chu and the others!"

As he spoke, he even made a gesture of clasping his fist in thanks.

"Don’t mention it, as Fellow Daoist Lu is familiar with our eldest brother, naturally you’re our friend as well!"

Chu Aosheng also spoke righteously.

Lu Chen, disdainful in his heart, thanked them and then hastened forward with Mo Buwen.

Li Yanran also sensed something amiss and followed closely without a word.
