Chapter 774 Flower River
"Why do you ask that?" Li Mobai was such a smart person, but when he heard Zhou Wen ask this, he immediately had some bad associations.
"I heard that Dugu Ge, Zhang Chunqiu and others found a guardian cocoon somewhere in the southern area, and they have successfully signed a contract with it." Zhou Wen said half-truthfully.
Li Mobai heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "I also know what you said. The two are not in the same place. The place I discovered has probably never been entered by anyone else. It is surrounded by extremely dangerous dimensional realms. The most famous one is called the Valley of No Return. Even the people of the Dugu family dare not go deep into it. It was only by chance that I was able to see the guardian cocoon back then. The possibility of others seeing it is extremely low."
To be honest, Zhou Wen was a little tempted. The number of guardians was too small, and the two guardians he could currently contact were too strong, making it difficult for him to take action.
If Zhou Wen had time to develop slowly, it would be only a matter of time before he could kill them. However, now that Jing Daoxian had come to him, Zhou Wen felt the pressure.
Just as Xia Jiuhuang said, if you don't become a myth, you are ultimately just a mortal. Because your foundation is too poor, when facing a mythical opponent, it is easy for them to be exploited as a weakness and broken through. Even if you have a mythical companion pet, it will be useless.
"According to the agreement, if you fail to contract a guardian, then the guardian belongs to me, right?" Zhou Wen looked at Li Mobai and said.
"Of course, it's a pleasure to work with you." Li Mobai smiled and extended his hand.
Zhou Wen reached out his hand and shook Li Mobai's, thus reaching an agreement. Writing things down in black and white was useless, so there was no need for a signed contract.
"When can you leave?" Li Mobai asked Zhou Wen.
"Anytime." Zhou Wen replied.
"Pack up and we will set off tonight. After we arrive in the South District, we will go to Mengsa first and find a friend named Gu there to help. With his guidance, we can safely reach the Valley of No Return." Li Mobai said.
"Are there any troubles on the road that we can't solve?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown.
Li Mobai said, "The South District is very different from the other districts. In the other districts, the big ones are respected, and victory or defeat is mostly determined by the strength of the force. However, in the South District, there are many kinds of evil small dimensional creatures. In some places, small is even king. The smaller the dimensional creature, the greater the destructive power it may cause. Just like the flying immortal Gu on the leaderboard, it is only the size of an ant, but its destructive power is no weaker than any dimensional creature on the leaderboard. In the South District, there are many kinds of evil and tiny dimensional creatures. If you are not familiar with the local situation, you may not even know how you died. Although I have some understanding of the place, I am not a local after all. It will be much safer to have a local to lead the way."
"Okay." Zhou Wen nodded and asked again, "Did you know that Li Xuan went to the South District?"
"Where he goes has nothing to do with me." Li Mobai said and left.
Zhou Wen went back to prepare and told a few close friends that he was going to the South District.
At night, Zhou Wen followed Li Mobai to Mengsa.
Li Mobai brought two people with him on the journey. One of them was the butterfly that Zhou Wen had seen, and the other was a mute. His name was Yaba.
The two of them took care of Li Mobai's food and daily life along the way, just like servants.
Zhou Wen was still wary of Li Mobai and was careful along the way, but nothing happened.
Because the air route had been cut off long ago, the road to Mengsa was difficult to travel, and after the dimensional storm, the road became even more difficult.
Fortunately, there was a mute leading the way. He was very familiar with the jungle roads. He climbed over mountains and ridges along the way. It was only thanks to him that he was able to avoid danger and avoid too much danger.
Occasionally, we would encounter some dimensional creatures that broke the ban, but they were easy to deal with.
Today, Mengsa is like an isolated island on land. Very few people can reach here. Only some indigenous people nearby and people like the Gu family who are interested in developing in Mengsa will continue to stay in this area of Mengsa.
On the streets of Mengsa, there are many men and women wearing monk's robes. The men's robes are purple-red, while the women's clothes are pink.
The locals originally believed in Buddhism, and after the dimensional storm, faith became even more important. No matter whether they were indigenous people or foreign families, as long as they settled in Mengsa, they would believe in Buddhism, otherwise it would be difficult for them to integrate into the local society.
The friend Li Mobai was looking for was called Gu Shanshui. Although he was not a monk, he also believed in Buddhism. However, Zhou Wen saw that the many chains he was wearing did not look like Mengsa's things, but more like the Buddha amulets he had obtained from Xiao Si before.
In addition to those Buddha amulets, Gu Shanshui also has many tattoos on his body. Those tattoos are obviously not formed by companion pets, but are man-made.
"Li, my friend, I'm afraid there is no way to go to the Valley of No Return." Gu Shanshui said.
"Master Gu, what happened?" Li Mobai knew that something must have happened, otherwise, with Gu Shanshui's character, as long as he agreed, he would take the journey to the Valley of No Return no matter how dangerous the journey was.
"There is only one way to go to the Valley of No Return now, but a large-scale ban-breaking incident has occurred at the Flower River, which is a must-pass. Many people who wanted to travel between Mengsa and Chiang Rai via the Flower River have disappeared after entering the Flower River, and there are many epic-level strongmen among them." Gu Shanshui recounted the details of what happened.
The Flower River is actually not a real river. Instead, after the dimensional storm, a kind of flower appeared in a large area between Chiang Rai and Mengsa. The flowers grew in patches, like a continuous river, so it was called the Flower River by the locals.
Because of the dimensional realm, the traffic between Mengsa and Chiang Rai has been basically cut off. Only by going through Huahe can one avoid all dimensional realms.
However, in the past half month, something strange has happened in Huahe. Many people who entered Huahe have disappeared without a trace, and no one dares to enter Huahe anymore.
The Gu family had an epic incident before where they led people into Huahe, but there was no news after they went there. Even many people sent by the Gu family to Huahe to investigate disappeared, and in the end they found nothing.
"To go to the Valley of No Return, is the only way to go through the Flower River?" Li Mobai asked thoughtfully.
"There is a section of the road that requires passing through Huahe River. It takes at least fifty or sixty miles to walk in Huahe River." Gu Shanshui said.
My condition has been fluctuating recently. It may be because I am really getting old and my thinking has become rigid. The remaining two chapters will be published later.
