Chapter 290
Everyone changed their route and walked on. "This road is much calmer!" Wen Xin said softly with a smile on her face.
"That's right. Now we are less than a thousand miles away from Nanqiu. I believe that the number of cultivators on this road will gradually increase. We still need to be more careful and try to avoid conflicts with others." Gu Shihan warned everyone with a serious face.
"Well, we understand!" the other eight responded in unison.
The group of nine people split into two teams and continued to move forward slowly.
Along the way, they occasionally encountered some guys who tried to cause trouble, but with their wit and extraordinary strength, they were able to cleverly resolve the crisis every time.
Seeing that they were less than a hundred miles away from the Nanqiu Mountains, several people began to feel excited.
To be honest, a journey of a hundred miles is as short as a snap of the fingers for a cultivator.
Just when everyone thought they were about to reach their destination safely, something strange happened!
Suddenly, the earth began to shake violently, as if a huge beast was roaring deep underground.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden earthquake, and even the monks who were originally flying in the air were shaken and fell down by the sudden vibration.
Naturally, Gu Shihan and his group were not spared either.
The moment they landed, an extremely powerful suction force suddenly came, like an invisible giant hand, tightly grabbing Gu Shihan and others.
Before Gu Shihan could open his mouth to warn his companions, they were involuntarily sucked into a dark and deep black hole.
Suddenly, everything in front of me became pitch black, as if the whole world was swallowed up by endless darkness.
Gu Shihan just felt as if his body had lost control and kept falling down.
The feeling of weightlessness made his heart tighten. Time passed by minute by minute. After an unknown amount of time, with a loud "bang", Gu Shihan finally felt himself hit the ground hard.
A sharp pain came over him, making him almost unable to move. However, driven by his instinct to survive, he struggled to stand up.
When he staggered to his feet and began to look around, his heart sank - Shi Qinghan and other companions who were supposed to be with him had all disappeared without a trace.
Gu Shihan endured the pain in his body and tried hard to calm his inner panic.
She calmed herself down and carefully felt the surrounding atmosphere, but was surprised to find that there was no fairy spirit here.
This means that his cultivation was greatly suppressed here, making it difficult for him to cast the powerful spells he usually used.
"Could this be the legendary soulless land? Why am I so unlucky? I thought it was a mysterious relic, but I didn't expect it to be such a dangerous place!" Gu Shihan couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Looking up, I saw nothing around except flying yellow sand.
The scorching sun shone down mercilessly. In less than half an hour, Gu Shihan's throat felt dry, his mouth was smoking, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Gu Shihan quickly reached into the storage pendant at his waist, took out a bottle of spiritual water, tilted his head back and drank it in two gulps.
The cool spiritual water flowed down his throat, moistening his dry throat and making him feel much more refreshed.
However, the hot environment did not improve.
After a while, Gu Shihan felt a burning heat rising from his body, as if it was going to burn him to ashes.
"It's so hot!" Gu Shihan complained as he reached into the necklace again and started to feel around.
Fortunately, she was always well prepared, and this time was no exception. Soon, she found a few crystal clear ice beads in the Nawu Pendant.
He took out an ice bead and put it on. The heat was instantly suppressed a lot. "I feel much better. I wonder where my brother and the others are? I hope I can have better luck."
The flying yellow sand obscured the view, making it difficult to distinguish east, west, south and north.
Gu Shihan forced himself to stay awake, glanced around, randomly chose a direction, and stepped forward resolutely.
At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: since she couldn't determine the correct route, she might as well just go wherever she went!
In this way, Gu Shihan continued to move forward with firm steps.
The desert seemed endless, and no matter where she walked, the scenery around her remained the same.
Gradually, even Gu Shihan himself was not sure how long he had been walking.
Because here, there is no distinction between night and day. The only basis for estimating time is the feeling of fullness and hunger that comes with eating.
When Gu Shihan finished her thirty-third meal, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the outline of a dilapidated temple emerging in the distance.
The temple stood alone in the desert, looking particularly out of place.
The dilapidated temple door was closed. Gu Shihan was delighted and quickly quickened his pace and ran towards the temple.
As she approached the temple, she stopped and looked around warily.
Apart from the deathly silence, nothing unusual was noticed.
Gu Shihan took a deep breath, reached out and gently pushed open the shaky wooden door that seemed like it would fall down at any time.
In an instant, a strong smell of old and decay surged out like a tide and hit Gu Shihan in the face.
Gu Shihan couldn't help but frown, but still stepped into the temple without hesitation.
As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she immediately felt something was wrong - although the temple looked dilapidated on the outside, the interior was surprisingly clean, without even a trace of dust.
The tables and chairs in the temple were lying on the ground in all directions, not a single one was intact, and it was obvious that the temple had suffered an extremely serious catastrophe.
Gu Shihan carefully avoided the broken wood pieces and debris on the ground and explored deeper into the temple step by step.
At this moment, the corner of her eye suddenly caught sight of a scroll placed in a corner.
The scroll lay there quietly, emitting faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.
Gu Shihan unfolded the painting, and the picture showed a beautiful fairyland, which formed a sharp contrast with the lifeless place where she was.
"What place is in this painting? So beautiful?" Gu Shihan exclaimed. Before she finished her words, suddenly, the scroll released a strong light, enveloping her.
The strong light disappeared, and Gu Shihan found himself in a strange space, where the spiritual energy was strong.
It turns out that this painting is a small independent space magic weapon, which was left here for some reason.
Gu Shihan couldn't believe his eyes, his heart was filled with indescribable joy and curiosity.
She took cautious steps and began to explore this mysterious and wonderful space carefully.
