Chapter 277 Searching for the Soul Fruit
Now that we know the general direction, it will be much easier to find it later. Looking at the fog outside, if you didn't know better, you would think you had walked into a horror movie set.
Their shop was like a beacon in a horror movie set, dispelling the terrifying atmosphere around them.
"It looks like no one will be coming here anytime soon. Let's take advantage of this quiet time and see where the Soul Fruit is hidden."
Otherwise, if there are too many people, it won't be convenient for us to search! I'm worried that others might have some ulterior motives!
Gu Xinyan thought for a moment and said, "After all, even the main system wants something like this Soul Fruit, so it must be extraordinary. And the most outstanding talents from all the sects on the Nine Nether Continent are in the Ancient Battlefield."
Therefore, outside the ancient battlefield, people from various sects are probably keeping a close eye on the situation here right now.
Although there are no magical artifacts for real-time live streaming on the Cangming Continent, it doesn't mean there aren't any here. After all, this is a higher-level cultivation plane, where anything is possible.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunting and the other four nodded in agreement; they had naturally thought of the same thing she had considered.
So, while the natives of the Nine Nether Continent haven't arrived yet, they should seize the opportunity and find the Soul Fruit first.
After all, only by acquiring the Soul Fruit could they focus on other things, so they all nodded in agreement.
"Great! We have six people here, so let's split into three groups and head in different directions to see if we can find anything."
After pondering for a moment, Lu Yunting replied. Then, as if remembering something, he turned to Xiaobai and asked:
"Xiao Bai, do you know when those disciples from the Nine Nether Continent will arrive here?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Xiaobai, since they needed to find the Soul Fruit before these people arrived.
Otherwise, if there are too many people, it will be somewhat inconvenient to move around.
Xiao Bai calculated that they only entered the ancient battlefield today, and where they are now is the deepest part of the ancient battlefield. They won't be able to reach it in a short time.
After all, the journey is far from smooth, and it will take at least seven to ten days.
So you can use this time to find out where the Soul Fruit is hidden! Once we find the Soul Fruit, we can leave.
Xiao Bai's words made everyone feel much more relaxed, at least they still had about seven days left.
If they don't find it within this period, they'll have to try to avoid people when they go out to search again.
Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome if a large-scale scramble for Soul Fruits ensued.
So, the six of them discussed it and split into two groups. Then they strode out of the store and headed towards the foggy battlefield outside.
As the group left, the shop fell silent. Little did Gu Xinyan and her companions know that...
Shortly after they left the store, the protective shield outside the store lit up briefly before returning to its previous calm, as if the scene had been an illusion.
Meanwhile, Gu Xinyan and Lu Yunting were walking in one direction, searching for traces of the Soul Fruit as they went.
The ground beneath her feet was very soft, completely different from what she had initially imagined, giving her an indescribable sense of strangeness.
But with each step, it seemed as if he was stepping on something hard, making a 'squeak squeak' sound that was particularly noticeable in the quiet environment.
Along with the scattered bones and broken magical artifacts around them, one could still faintly sense the remaining runes and spiritual energy fluctuations.
All of this tells the story of how fierce the battle that once took place here was; it was truly terrifying!
However, the spiritual energy here is very rich. Feeling the spiritual energy surrounding her, Gu Xinyan couldn't help but squint her eyes comfortably.
Because of the abundant spiritual energy, she suddenly found everything around her more agreeable.
Moreover, the spiritual energy here is even more concentrated than that of the Cangming Continent. It feels like she only needs to breathe, and the spiritual energy will keep penetrating into her body.
"I really want to take the spiritual energy here back with me! I wonder if there's any way to revive it."
If the spiritual energy of our Blue Star recovers, who knows if it will be able to compare with the spiritual energy here in the future!
Hearing this, Lu Yunting couldn't help but smile, though he thought the same thing, he just didn't say it aloud.
"Even if we don't have that, we can look for other ways later. If all else fails, we can just dig up more spiritual veins, both large and small."
Bury them in every corner of China, and the spiritual energy will be concentrated there.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan's eyes lit up; she thought it was a really good idea!
Thinking back to the spiritual vein they brought back last time, Yunyang Island is quite different now. Although the spiritual energy is not as concentrated as here, it is still enough for them to cultivate.
"That's right, we can just dig up more spiritual veins when necessary. Brother Lu's idea is great! Hehe!"
"Oh!"
The moment Gu Xinyan's voice fell, a soft chuckle came from the air.
The sound wasn't loud, but both of them heard it. Upon hearing this sudden sound, they immediately became alert and looked around.
However, apart from the foggy sky and the scattered skeletons, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
But that soft chuckle was unusually clear, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, making both of their hearts jump.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
Gu Xinyan shouted loudly into the air, while secretly gathering spiritual power in her hands, ready to deal with any potential dangers.
Lu Yunting, who was standing to the side, was the same. His face, which had been smiling just a moment ago, was now serious.
His eyes scanned the surroundings, looking every inch, not missing any possible hiding place.
However, all around remained quiet, with only the slight sound of the wind.
It was as if the soft chuckle they had just heard was their imagination.
"It seems that we are not the only ones in the depths of this ancient battlefield!"
"I wonder if what's hiding in the shadows is a person or a ghost!" Lu Yunting said in a low voice, his tone serious.
Gu Xinyan nodded upon hearing this. She wondered what kind of person was hiding in the shadows, following them so quietly, which was quite annoying.
And judging from its appearance, this thing, which they didn't know what it was, had probably been following them for quite some time.
Or rather, that guy knew when they arrived.
