Chapter 770 - 770 730 Deep into the Dense Forest_1

770: Chapter 730: Deep into the Dense Forest_1 770: Chapter 730: Deep into the Dense Forest_1 Upon hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Zhao Kanglong immediately panicked, hastily asking, “What?

You’re not leaving until you’ve killed all the evil spirits here?”

“Let’s just leave now, I want to go down the mountain, I want to return to Myriad Stars City, I don’t want to stay here anymore!”

His face filled with terror, he swept his gaze around him, the gloomy surroundings sent shivers down his spine.

Looking at Lu Chuan, he said anxiously, “Benefactor, please take me down the mountain, just take me down and you can have anything you want, I’ll have my father reward you handsomely!”

“Let’s not stay here.”

Lu Chuan, left with no choice, shook his head, “No, the reason I came here is to exterminate the evil spirits.

If you’re unwilling to follow me, then you’re free to leave on your own; I won’t accompany you.”

Lu Chuan had his own plans, and naturally he wouldn’t change them lightly.

Zhao Kanglong felt dumbstruck upon hearing this.

He scanned his surroundings again.

It was so dark everywhere, danger lurking at every turn; he might very well bump into another evil spirit the next second.

In such an environment, how could he possibly have the courage to descend the mountain alone?

He was barely pulled back from the Gates of Hell not long ago; if he fell in again, he might never get out.

Looking at Lu Chuan, he clasped his hands together in front of him and begged, “Benefactor, please take me down the mountain.

You can return here tomorrow, just get me out of here for now, I truly don’t dare to go alone…”

As he spoke, his whole body couldn’t stop trembling; it was clear to see that at this moment his heart was filled with immense fear.

Having just survived a narrow escape, Lu Chuan had pulled him back from the brink; he was now extremely cautious about his own safety and didn’t want to take any risks.

Lu Chuan, left with no choice, shook his head, “I only give you two options, either follow behind me or go down the mountain yourself.”

Zhao Kanglong was stunned.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll go by myself!”

“In such a dangerous place, I can’t understand why you choose to stay here.

Aren’t you afraid of encountering danger?”

“Forget it, I’m leaving now.

I hope I can see you again in the future.

If I get to see you again in Myriad Stars City, I will repay your kindness.”

“But for now, excuse my bluntness, I cannot follow you further into this perilous zone.”

He looked around him, occasionally hearing mournful cries that sent a chill through him, making the hair on his body stand on end.

“I’ll be off, may we meet again if fate allows.”

His heart couldn’t bear it; the surroundings were too perilous, and he was just a beginner in Martial Path.

Here, he was only prey, without even the slightest chance to fight back.

He got up, brushed the dirt off himself, sighed helplessly, and then turned to leave.

Lu Chuan watched his retreating figure, then turned back, determined to delve deeper into the mass burial mound.

He came here to gather soul fragments for the Soul Terminating Sword, in preparation for the future.

This would become the foundation of his strength and confidence.

Such an important task, Lu Chuan naturally didn’t want to delay.

He continued to walk into the dark forest.

The light around him was dim, as if evening had come.

In the distance, he could see some corpses hanging under the trees, occasionally smelling a foul stench.

Lu Chuan’s brow was furrowed.

This place was definitely not ordinary, not merely a mass burial mound where many people were buried.

If the rumors were true, the remnants of the souls of generals buried here were likely extraordinary.

Suddenly, Lu Chuan heard a series of hurried footsteps.

He quickly turned his head to look.

He saw a figure running frantically towards him.

“Ah!!!!”

Zhao Kanglong screamed in terror, his pallid face running up to Lu Chuan.

He fell to his knees with a thud.

“Benefactor, save me!

I had barely taken two steps when someone patted my shoulder, I turned around and saw a half-rotten creature standing next to me!”

“Benefactor!

You must take me with you; if I stay here alone, I’ll surely die!”

He clung to Lu Chuan’s legs, begging.

Lu Chuan looked at his cowardly appearance, which didn’t resemble the demeanor of a City Lord’s son at all.

However, the environment around them indeed had a terrifying aura, even more frightening than some of the horror films Lu Chuan had seen.

If it weren’t for Lu Chuan having the Soul Terminating Sword and Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil at his side, he might have been scared to the point of crying bitterly.

But with sufficient strength, the mass burial mound was nothing more to Lu Chuan than a place to grind for experience.

“Benefactor, are you going to continue forward?”

He slowly stood up, asking nervously.

“That’s right.”

“Can’t we go back?

If you escort me to Myriad Stars City, I guarantee my father will promote you to high office, and you’ll enjoy endless glory and wealth!”

Lu Chuan scoffed and shrugged, “I don’t need to enjoy glory and wealth.

If I wanted to, I could have found a place to retire a long time ago.”

“Then what…

do you plan to do?”

“As I said, to exterminate evil spirits.”

Zhao Kanglong nodded repeatedly, “Oh~ So you’re a Taoist who specializes in eliminating evil and slaying demons.”

“Don’t guess blindly; I’m not any kind of Taoist.

I’ve merely inherited a predecessor’s mantle and am benefiting from his grace,” Lu Chuan clarified.

“So that’s how it is, then you must be very powerful, right?

The evil spirits here should all be no match for you.”

He looked at Lu Chuan curiously, hoping that Lu Chuan was strong enough to lead him down the mountain safely.

“Nonsense, if I didn’t have the strength, would I come to such a place for no reason?”

Lu Chuan continued to walk forward, with Zhao Kanglong following close behind, occasionally looking around warily.

“Benefactor, at first, I thought you were the expert my father sent to rescue me, but you’re not, are you?”

“Of course not.

I didn’t know you were here before coming, nor did I come to rescue you.”

“Do you know my father?

You should be aware of his status and strength, so please, benefactor, don’t abandon me.

When we get back to Myriad Stars City, I’ll work like an ox or a horse for you!”

He said nervously, afraid that Lu Chuan would leave him behind and go off on his own in such an environment.

Lu Chuan just laughed, “Just keep up with me.

If you can’t keep up, you can’t blame me.”

“Good!

I will definitely be able to keep up with your pace, benefactor!”

He took a deep breath, unavoidably feeling nervous.

Suddenly, Lu Chuan saw a figure moving swiftly between the trees.

Lu Chuan locked his gaze on that person’s figure, and in the next moment, he used Supreme Phantom Dodge without hesitation.

Whoosh!!

Lu Chuan’s figure darted between the tree trunks, covering dozens of meters in a few breaths.

Whoosh!

Lu Chuan instantly appeared behind the person in black.

When the person turned around and saw the figure of Lu Chuan, they immediately shouted in alarm, “Bastard, you’re asking for death!”

She turned around and flung the flying darts in her hand, shooting them rapidly at Lu Chuan.

With quick reflexes, Lu Chuan directly swung his sword, deflecting all the incoming flying darts.

Immediately after, Lu Chuan rushed forward and kicked the person in the chest, sending them flying backward for a dozen meters.
