The answer is quite obvious: if the handsome man doesn't go, only one of his Daoist partners will die.
If he rushes over there, two people will die.
Many people around looked at the handsome man with disdain in their eyes.
Those people thought the handsome man was too cold-blooded, able to remain so calm even after his partner's death.
However, no one thought the handsome man did anything wrong, because even they would have a high chance of making the same choice as him.
Under Han Feng's guidance, the three of them made their way quite safely.
He has already transplanted the eerie red eye and mastered 90% of the eerie Dao within it.
This eerie dead land was formed from the strange Dao, and for Han Feng, entering it was no different from going home.
"That's strange. When I first entered the eerie dead zone, the eerie path around me made me feel very uncomfortable."
Zhang Liang said strangely, "I don't know if it's because I'm not used to it, but the further I go in, the less the strange path works on me. Now I feel very relaxed."
“I feel the same way. Logically, this shouldn’t be the case. But the reactions of others are completely opposite to ours.”
The Jin family patriarch also asked in surprise.
"I'm finding it easier and easier as I walk. It seems there aren't many strange or unusual paths on our route."
Han Feng replied with a smile.
The Jin family patriarch and Zhang Liang sensed that the strange Dao was becoming less and less, which was due to some manipulation he had done.
He used his eerie red-eyed ability to greatly alleviate the strangeness of the road along the way.
The eerie red eyes couldn't be revealed to the two of them for the time being, mainly because Han Feng hadn't figured out how to explain it.
Once Han Feng finds a suitable reason, he will expose his strange red eyes to everyone.
The group continued forward, and every now and then, strange, deadly beasts would appear, killing or carrying away one of them.
"It's so uncomfortable, I can't take it anymore. This strange path can never be completely eliminated."
A mid-stage Dao Heaven Realm expert let out a painful wail.
Everyone around him immediately distanced themselves from the mid-stage Dao Tian Realm expert.
Several Yellow Heaven Realm experts immediately organized a group to attack the expert who was about to reach the mid-stage of the Alienation Dao Heaven Realm.
Before the mid-stage Dao Tian Realm expert could transform into a bizarre monster, he was killed by the combined efforts of the group.
This mid-stage Dao Heaven Realm expert exploded, his blood and flesh splattering all around him.
The flesh and blood were absorbed in the blink of an eye, becoming nourishment for the eerie dead land.
There is a big difference between dying as a monster and dying without becoming a monster.
Zhang Liang exclaimed in surprise.
"Transforming into a bizarre monster means it has already been completely devoured by the bizarre Dao. Once it dies, it transforms into the bizarre Dao. If it doesn't transform into a bizarre monster, and its body hasn't completely transformed into the bizarre Dao, then after its body explodes, its flesh and blood will be completely absorbed by the bizarre death zone."
The patriarch of the Jin family explained.
"To put it more precisely, this eerie dead land is a place that eats people; it's absolutely terrifying."
Zhang Liang felt a wave of fear wash over him.
"Luckily we were lucky, otherwise the strange road around us would have kept us busy."
The Jin family patriarch felt a surge of relief.
As the group ventured deeper, the frequency of the anomalies increased.
Many people were about to transform into bizarre monsters when they were attacked and killed by those around them.
"No, I feel like I'm being corrupted by the strange path. If I stay here any longer, I'll definitely turn into a strange monster."
“Me too. This Eastern Queen is a murderer. I suspect she doesn’t want us to find the three great demons at all, but rather wants to trap and kill us here.”
"We can't stay here any longer. Leaving here offers a glimmer of hope, but staying here means certain death."
...
Several more people, unable to resist the eerie path, flew out of the eerie dead land.
But just as they took to the air, several beams of purple light rushed toward them.
Before these people could even scream, they were already smashed to pieces.
The eerie path of the bizarre dead land immediately devoured the flesh and blood of several people.
“I knew the Eastern Queen wouldn’t leave us alone. There must be someone watching us from the shadows. Luckily, I didn’t try it, or I would be dead.”
"Now that the only way out has been cut off, we can only grit our teeth and move forward. Moving forward offers a glimmer of hope and a chance to survive."
"You say that the Eastern Queen led us into the eerie dead land not to find the three great demons, but to make us die and be sacrificed in the eerie dead land."
"You've heard the legend of the eerie dead land. It's said that an ancient god or demon is sealed within it, and that it can be resurrected with enough offerings."
"This Empress of the Eastern Pole is truly inhuman. She actually did such a rebellious thing, wanting to sacrifice so many of us. She will be punished by the heavens."
...
As the group continued to venture deeper into the eerie and deadly place, they also cursed the Eastern Queen.
Every so often, people would be transformed into bizarre monsters by the strange path.
There were two thousand people when we went in, but only one thousand remained when we got halfway in.
During this time, many people tried to escape the eerie death zone, but all their methods failed.
They tried to go in other directions, but they would die tragically after only a short distance.
It seems like there's only one path to this eerie death zone; going down any other path will result in immediate death.
Under Han Feng's guidance, the Jin family patriarch and Zhang Liang progressed very smoothly.
"Everyone, let's stop going down this road and fight back together."
The leader, a late-stage Yellow Heaven Realm expert, secretly transmitted his voice to the crowd: "Many of you here know the origin and legend of the Strange Dead Land. If we continue down this path, we will only be heading towards death. We might survive if we resist, but we will die if we don't."
"Well said. The Empress of the Eastern Pole is incompetent and tyrannical, killing people without restraint and using any means to achieve her goals. We must resist her."
"What's this about tracking the three great demons? They just want us to die in some weird, deadly place. We're going to die anyway, so we might as well fight it out."
“We still have more than a thousand people here. If more than half of them choose to run away, there will definitely be some who can escape.”
...
The crowd was successfully swayed and agreed with the opinion of the late-stage Yellow Heaven Realm expert.
"Brother Han, they're all going to run away. What should we do? Should we go with them?" Zhang Liang asked uncertainly.
“Following them is fine too. If we continue on this path, it’s a dead end for sure. Following them might offer a glimmer of hope,” the Jin family patriarch nodded and said.
"The only way to survive is to keep moving forward; following them is a dead end. Let them do whatever they want."
Han Feng bluntly stated, "The Eastern Pole Empress is nearby. Unless they possess the strength to confront her, their actions are tantamount to courting death."
"Isn't the Empress of the East a bit too early?"
The old patriarch of the Jin family looked grim.
