Chapter 698: Corpse Formation Sucking Vitality
"I'm afraid even if we want to leave, we won't be able to leave for a while." Li Fan reminded in a cold voice.
Huangfu Song then remembered that once he entered the maze, he could only leave by finding and passing through a special location.
Otherwise, it is so close yet so far away, only one step away, but it can never be crossed.
In an instant, a drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
"this……"
Dongfang Yao was still a bit more courageous. He patted Huangfu Song on the shoulder and comforted him, "Relax, Brother Huangfu. Although this place looks a bit weird, these are all dead people after all. There shouldn't be any danger."
"If you're really scared, just hide behind me. I'll take the lead." He patted his chest and promised.
Huangfu Song nodded repeatedly: "Then I'll leave it to you. But be careful here..."
He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I don't sense any death. These monks may still be alive."
Hearing this, Dongfang Yao's body trembled for a moment.
"Brother Huangfu, it's fine if you don't contribute. But don't talk nonsense." Dongfang Yao's eyes swept across the countless ice coffins on the black ocean, and his face turned very ugly.
"Don't scare yourself. Now that we are here, we should make the best of it and figure out the situation first." Compared to the two people around him, Li Fan, who had the real treasure and could run away at any time, seemed much calmer. He stood up at the critical moment and gave orders calmly.
The three of them put away the Samantabhadra Boat, gathered into a formation, and set up a protective magic circle around them. They also put on the many defensive magic weapons they had prepared and flew carefully over the sea.
The Sky Mirror flashed with blue light, collecting and recording data from the areas it passed through.
The three of them did not dare to approach the frozen monk floating on the sea, but just looked at him carefully from a distance.
"Judging from the way these people are dressed, they should all be cultivators from the ancient world of immortal cultivation. I can't sense their aura, so I can't judge their cultivation level."
"Strange, not like being alive. But compared to the dead, it seems a little different."
"I don't know what they saw before they were frozen. The expressions on their faces were really terrifying."
"Who did all this? To be able to freeze so many monks in an instant, his cultivation level must be..."
…
The three of them continued to communicate with each other using their spiritual senses, and no one acted rashly or tried to break the ice coffin below.
It is true that the magic weapons, elixirs and even skills carried by countless ancient monks look very tempting. But no one can guarantee that breaking the ice coffin will not cause unknown changes.
What's more, with the Qingxuan points obtained from exploring the maze, as long as they can return safely from here, it will be a big profit.
With the rewards from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance as a precedent, the ancient monks’ collections seemed less attractive.
In the dead black sea, time seemed to have come to a standstill. There was no change in the rising and setting of the sun or the moon, and the sky was always gray.
The connection between the Liangtianjian and Tianxuanjing seemed to have been cut off. The soaring reward points of the three people were only recorded in the ancient square mirror, and were not synchronized.
Huangfu Song and his companions knew that if they could not get out alive, the Qingxuan Points would be nothing but a bunch of numbers that could not be redeemed and were meaningless. However, if they could successfully escape after completing the exploration this time, even if they did not gain anything in the subsequent operations, what they gained here would be enough.
So several people were extremely cautious.
In their perception, they had been flying for dozens of days but still had not reached the end of the black sea.
All I could see were still frozen corpses.
Even Dongfang Yao knew that something was wrong.
“Are we taking a detour around the same place?”
Huangfu Song nodded in agreement and said, "Now it seems that it is. Although the direction we are heading in seems to be a straight line, it is obvious that our perception has been distorted by some kind of power here. Otherwise, the number of corpses we have seen in these days would add up to billions. Even if all the cultivators in the ancient world of immortal cultivation were buried here, there might not be so many."
Li Fan remained silent.
He compared and reconstructed the images recorded by the Dao Stone in his mind.
The blue light flickered, and it seemed to have reached its limit.
Not long after, Li Fan discovered a fact that frightened him greatly.
In fact, the Frozen Monks they have encountered so far do not seem to be repeated.
In other words, even if there were a few who looked the same and were ignored by him, the vast majority of the monks they saw in this dead black sea were indeed separate individuals.
"A total of 2,679,800,000 monks are buried here."
“That’s just what I’ve seen so far.”
Li Fan couldn't help but look into the distance. The dark ice coffins were floating on the ocean, and there was still no end in sight.
"in the end……"
The weirdness of this maze was beyond his imagination.
"This is not a solution. We have to find a way out quickly." Huangfu Song was talking and suddenly coughed lightly.
Li Fan and Dongfang Yao were stunned at first, then looked at each other, their expressions changed slightly.
"Huangfu, are you okay?" Dongfang Yao flew to Huangfu Song, grabbed his shoulders and checked his physical condition.
A moment later.
"Strange, there's nothing abnormal. But what was that cough you just made?" Dongfang Yao's expression was very solemn.
Huangfu Song also realized that something was wrong. After closing his eyes and thinking carefully, his face darkened: "I feel a little weaker. It's like my vitality is slipping away..."
He looked down at the dead black sea below: "This ocean seems to be draining our vitality."
"I see. I'm stronger than you, so I'm fine for now." Dongfang Yao paused at this point.
He couldn't help but look at Li Fan: "But, Fellow Daoist Li Fan, why are you..."
Huangfu Song's eyes also narrowed.
After all, it was because of Li Fan's guidance that they came to this strange and mysterious place. Huangfu Song knew that Dongfang Yao had a special physique.
Although Li Fan only has Nascent Soul cultivation, he is more "energetic" than Huangfu Song who is at the Spiritualization Realm. He can actually last longer in this dead sea...
Huangfu Song couldn't help but doubt.
Li Fan naturally understood this truth. He smiled slightly and shook his head: "Brothers, don't worry. Perhaps it is because my cave realm is of wood attribute, so the vitality is more vigorous."
"Under such circumstances, we should work together and not let any dissension arise."
"Brother Huangfu, take the elixir of immortality I gave you. It might work wonders."
Seeing Li Fan so calm, Huangfu Song temporarily suppressed his doubts. After taking out the jade bottle and swallowing the elixir, his complexion really looked better.
"It really works. Thank you, Brother Li!" Huangfu Song said with a guilty look on his face.
"It's okay." Li Fan waved his hand, seemingly not minding at all.
"Brother Huangfu, do you have any ideas on how to get out?" he asked.
