Chapter 786: Valley of No Return
"Is this person... a devil?" Die looked at Zhou Wen and felt a chill.
They came here with great difficulty just to sign a contract with the guardian and gain more powerful power.
Zhou Wen actually chopped off the guardian's head with one palm. Although he knew that this person was not an enemy, the gap in strength still made him feel despair, and even tremble physically and mentally.
Li Mobai didn't think so. His eyes were burning as he stared at Zhou Wen, as if he had discovered a new world.
"So, this is the way to go?" Li Mobai felt as if there was a fire burning inside his body.
There was no fire in Zhou Wen's body, but as the guardian's body decomposed and disappeared, a force surged into his body, causing the killer's soul to automatically switch out. After absorbing that energy, it became stronger.
What disappointed Zhou Wen was that although the Killer was getting stronger, he was unable to advance to a perfect body until the energy was completely absorbed.
"How many guardians does the killer have to kill before he can be promoted to a perfect body?" Zhou Wen sighed in his heart.
Li Mobai, Gu Shanshui and the others had already returned. Zhou Wen said, "Sorry, I can't give you a chance to try."
Li Mobai smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not important. If it's convenient, can you tell me why you want to kill the guardian? Instead of signing a contract with him?"
"No contract is needed." Zhou Wen couldn't explain too much.
"That's right, you really don't need it anymore." Li Mobai said.
Die, Gu Lou and others thought that Zhou Wen's words were too arrogant, but when they thought about the scene of the guardian's head falling just now, they felt powerless to refute.
"Since we're already here, why not go to the entrance of the Valley of No Return and take a look?" Zhou Wen was still thinking about whether he could find the small hand pattern in the Valley of No Return. If he had the Valley of No Return, he would have a place to spawn companion pets such as poisonous insects in the future.
"Okay, with you here, Bugui Valley won't be able to hold anyone. It's good to go and broaden your horizons." Li Mobai said with a smile.
"I'm just taking a look outside and don't plan to go in." Zhou Wen shook his head.
Although there are small birds that can suppress the Gu worms, the birds are still young after all. If there are too many Gu worms, they will not be able to take care of them. Or if there are Gu worms that are not afraid of the small birds, if they really fight to the death, the small birds may not be able to defeat the mythical Gu worms.
Even Zhou Wen himself was surprised that the bird could kill those mythical poisonous insects. He didn't know whether it was the noble phoenix bloodline in the bird that was at work, or whether it had some special power.
Moreover, after using the Immortal Slaying Technique, Zhou Wen's strength had been exhausted, and his body was still in a weak state. Although he was not as miserable as when he used the Immortal Slaying Technique before, his combat effectiveness had also been greatly affected. Zhou Wen did not want to take risks at this time.
The group came out of the underground cave and arrived at the outer area of the Valley of No Return.
Zhou Wen saw that the valleys here were stacked one upon another, with valleys within valleys. He didn't know how big the space was inside. He only heard from local people like Gu Shanshui that nine out of ten people who entered the Valley of No Return would never be able to come back, so it got the name "Valley of No Return".
But it’s not true that no one can come back alive. There are still some people who can come back alive, but most of them didn’t go deep into the valley. Most of them just wandered around the valley entrance and came out.
Zhou Wen just wanted to walk around the entrance of the valley and look for the little hand pattern, and had no intention of going in.
His luck seemed to be unexpectedly good. After wandering around outside the valley for a while, Zhou Wen actually found the very inconspicuous little hand pattern on a mountain wall.
The small hand pattern was obscured by dense grass and covered with moss. If Zhou Wen did not have the ability to listen carefully, he would not have been able to discover it at all.
After taking a photo with the mysterious phone, the words "downloading" appeared on the screen, which made Zhou Wen breathe a sigh of relief.
"I gained a lot this time. I downloaded a copy of the Valley of No Return, killed a guardian, and let the bird eat a lot of poisonous insects. I guess it should be able to grow a little after it digests it, right?" Zhou Wen felt that this trip was not in vain.
But Li Mobai's trip was in vain and he didn't gain any benefits.
Gu Shanshui was going to Chiang Rai to catch corpse worms, so Zhou Wen had no choice but to accompany him. Li Mobai thought for a moment and said, "If Master Gu doesn't mind, let's go and see for ourselves."
"Li, it would be great if you could go with us." Gu Shanshui accepted with pleasure.
The crowd walked along the Flower River towards Chiang Rai. After walking two or three hundred miles, they finally saw the unwithered flower of life again.
Zhou Wen rode the mighty King Kong Bull at the end of the team, playing with his phone in his hand. The copy of the Valley of No Return had been downloaded, so Zhou Wen went in to familiarize himself with the environment first.
The Valley of No Return is actually surrounded by mountains on all sides, and only a narrow gap between the mountains can lead you into it.
The mountain walls on both sides are very close, only enough for one person to pass through sideways.
The bloody little man walked inside sideways, with his listening ability always turned on. At the same time, he switched the Yuan Qi Jue to the Small Prajna. With the blessing of the Eight Degrees Prajna Destiny and the life soul of the Hell King, Zhou Wen's eight consciousnesses became very sharp. Even without using the listening ability, he could see all the details nearby clearly.
Not long after walking, Zhou Wen discovered the problem. There were many tiny holes on the rock walls on both sides. Those holes were so small that to the naked eye, they would be mistaken for the texture of the rock walls themselves.
But Zhou Wen could see that it was not the texture of the stone at all, but a series of small holes. In those holes, tiny insects would occasionally poke their heads out. Because they were too small, if an ordinary person was not careful and was crawled onto by them, they would probably be able to drill into the body through the pores.
The birds cannot be brought into the game, and Zhou Wen has no good way to control these little bugs. He can only summon Tai Sui to see if it will eat these little bugs.
Although Tai Sui was not very interested in these little bugs, he still devoured them under Zhou Wen's order.
A large number of prompts appeared on the game screen, all of which were prompts to kill mortal creatures, and only occasionally would a prompt to kill legendary creatures pop up.
The amount of things that exploded was very small and basically useless. With the help of Tai Sui, Zhou Wen passed through the narrow gap and came into the valley.
Because this is a chain of valleys, the part Zhou Wen can see is a semicircular valley that is not too big. Inside is a grassland that looks lush and pleasant.
But if you have extraordinary eyesight, you will find that there are many green caterpillars in the grass, almost blending into the grass, making it difficult to distinguish them.
Zhou Wen directly summoned the Queen of the Flame Furnace, and turned the grass into a sea of fire. Then, prompts to kill the legendary green-haired Gu kept popping up.
"There seem to be a lot of these poisonous insects. It's a good place to spawn monsters. I wonder if there will be groups of epic poisonous insects in there?" Zhou Wen had already seen the prompt that a green-haired poisonous insect had exploded with a companion egg.
