Chapter 423: Chapter 417 The Only Way (2nd Update)

"You have no other choice..." Jiuyou fell silent for a moment, then said, "Those truly Heavenly and Earthly Treasures can only be found in places rarely tread by others, such as deep within the Inner Layer of the Dragon Blood Mountain Range. Because it’s extremely dangerous, almost no one dares to venture there, and that’s where you might have the chance to find the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures undiscovered for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. But, if you really decide to go, then... you might once again face life or death danger!"

The deep parts of the Inner Layer of the Dragon Blood Mountain Range must be unimaginably dangerous, its notorious reputation certainly can’t be fake.

"Do I have any other choice?" Su Chen smiled and asked.

"Yes, you have no other choice!" Jiuyou sighed. Unless Su Chen gave up on Ling Long, there was only one option, and Su Chen giving up on Ling Long? Impossible. If he did, he would no longer be Su Chen.

"Let’s go!" Su Chen composed himself, his mind moved, and the Burning Heaven Sword appeared in his hand. He looked serious, carrying Ling Long on his back, and moved forward.

Every step he took was exceedingly light, without making a sound.

Time rushed by.

Su Chen’s expression became more and more solemn.

The closer he got to the Inner Layer, Jiuyou would frequently remind him of the presence of Demon Beasts ahead, to his left, his right, and so on, within a certain number of meters.

He had to quickly react to Jiuyou’s reminders, making swift moves to dodge and adjust his position.

At this point, almost every few hundred breaths, Jiuyou would issue a warning.

This alone indicated how many Demon Beasts were around him!!!?

And he hadn’t even reached the Inner Layer of the Dragon Blood Mountain Range yet!

How much more dangerous could the true Inner Layer be?

It’s simply unimaginable!

"Damn it! Kid, this won’t do!" Jiuyou suddenly said, "It’s getting denser and denser... if this continues, you will inevitably come face-to-face with those Demon Beasts!"

Su Chen fell silent, frowning.

Encountering Demon Beasts head-on, he wasn’t afraid; if it came down to it, he would fight, even if it was a fight to the death. But the key issue was...

He was short on time.

Time was Ling Long’s life!

An encounter with the Demon Beasts meant time wasted...

Moreover, how much Combat Power could he possess while carrying Ling Long?

"Jiuyou, what do we do now? Is there another way?" Su Chen asked urgently, his brows tightly knit.

"The only way is to join a group for shelter, and besides, the team members are better prepared than you, generally bringing some Medicinal Powders and such that the Demon Beasts dislike, which could ward off most of them!" Jiuyou said earnestly, "On your own, you definitely won’t make it. From what I can sense, we’re at least half a Shichen away from the Inner Layer!"

Join a team?

The teams Jiuyou referred to were actually those Temperers within the Dragon Blood Mountain Range...

The Dragon Blood Mountain Range is extremely dangerous; this is widely known. However, it is exactly because of the danger that it’s a Treasured Land for some Martial Cultivators.

Such perilous environments can stimulate martial arts cultivation.

And those fearsome Demon Beasts are the perfect whetstones for training.

Surviving for ten or twenty days in the Dragon Blood Mountain Range, if one didn’t die, wouldn’t one’s actual Combat Power see a fundamental improvement?

Therefore, many geniuses, powerful individuals, family clans, and Sect descendants enter the Dragon Blood Mountain Range. Of course, for safety’s sake, they typically form small teams of three to five, or eight to ten, to increase their chances of survival.

"Join a team? I don’t trust that!" Su Chen shook his head, not quite trusting strangers.

"But do you have any other method?" Jiuyou countered.

Su Chen fell silent.

Yes!

There’s no other way!!!

Just as he must enter the deepest part of the Dragon Blood Mountain Range to save Ling Long, it’s the only choice.

"How can I join a team and ensure that they won’t harbor ambitions against me and Ling Long? How can I make them peacefully escort me to the inner layers of the Dragon Blood Mountain Range?" Su Chen muttered to himself. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Unless, I could save this team or someone in it, becoming their benefactor!"

Right!

That was the method Su Chen thought of.

And the only way.

In the Dragon Blood Mountain Range, everyone is extremely dangerous, everyone is literally gambling with their lives, even those teams made up of eight or ten people. They also frequently encounter life-and-death dangers.

Along the way, according to Jiuyou’s descriptions, at least, Su Chen himself nearly ran into more than a dozen instances of Martial Cultivators being eaten by Demon Beasts.

But all along, he hadn’t intervened, firstly, because it wasn’t his concern, he wasn’t a saint, and all consequences were the result of one’s own choices. Secondly, he really didn’t have the time, he was seriously short of it.

But now.

He must take action to help.

Of course, it was only necessary to aim for one of the teams, helping a team, or even just one person in the team would suffice.

"What kind of team do you want to join?" Jiuyou asked, her soul able to cover a wide range, allowing for swift selection.

"First, the team must not have many members, preferably just three to five people! Second, the strength of these three to five people must be very good! Third, the strongest among them must not be a match for me!" Su Chen stated directly.

The requirements were specific and clear.

When a team has too many members, it increases the danger; the likelihood of encountering ruthless individuals who might betray kindness is definitely higher in a group of ten than in one of three to five, so naturally, the smaller team is more suitable.

And the strength requirement goes without saying.

If they’re too weak, will this team be protecting him and escorting him to the inner layer, or will he end up dragging them down?

If they’re too strong, and if they do harbor any malicious intent or killing intent towards him and Ling Long, then it’s all over. He won’t even be able to resist. The greatest enemy of mankind has always been mankind itself; human hearts are the most complex and fickle. Compared to Demon Beasts, humans are more terrifying.

After hearing Su Chen’s requirements, Jiuyou was not surprised.

What Su Chen wanted was exactly what she also desired.

Next.

Su Chen continued to push forward without wasting any time, while Jiuyou, in addition to reminding him to dodge Demon Beasts, also began to deliberately notice those teams training in the Dragon Blood Mountain Range.

An hour later.

When Su Chen was exhausted... Suddenly, Jiuyou said, "I’ve found a suitable one. To the left, one thousand five hundred meters away, there’s a team of four people. The strongest is at the Fourth-Turn Hollow Void Realm, the weakest at the Third Rotation Hollow Void Realm. Their combat power is not bad, and their battle experience is ample. Two men and two women are currently in a tough battle with a Fifth-Turn Hollow Void Realm Blood-Backed Bull and are barely holding on. They’re on the brink of defeat, caught between danger and life or death."

Su Chen’s eyes shone brightly.

He nodded vigorously.

Without saying a second word, he suddenly accelerated, heading towards the left, transforming into a streak of light.

At the same time.

At a location about one thousand five hundred meters away from Su Chen!!!

One could see a field of several hundred square meters, completely in disarray, with pits in the ground, grass, leaves, and a number of broken huge trees laid across the area.

In the center.

Two men and two women were surrounding a huge Demon Beast, engaging in a grueling battle.
