Old Dao was even more confused when he heard this: "Brother Chen, do you mean that the unfinished building I used to live in is right here?"
Old Dao picked at his ears again, pretending to be all ears; this time, he was probably truly shocked.
Actually, not only Lao Dao, but even I was very surprised when I first thought of this.
"That's right, our unfinished building was originally located here. There probably isn't a mass grave in the western part of the city where we are!"
I stared ahead, my tone becoming even more somber.
Looking at these tombstones, I felt a strong sense of familiarity.
Especially the sword in my hand, which seemed to leap even more.
At that moment, I suddenly realized that I seemed to be able to communicate with the little thing inside the sword.
"Is this the place where you were sealed before?"
Without making a sound, I communicated with the little thing inside the sword in my mind, and the next second the little thing responded to me.
"Yes, Master, I was here before! But later, for some reason, you picked me up, and at that time my consciousness wasn't fully developed!"
The little thing inside the sword spoke softly and gently, calling me "master" repeatedly, which made me even more shocked.
This confirms two points. First, when we went to the unfinished building where Lao Dao was, we actually arrived here.
As for the second point, the eagle owl did not initially escape; rather, it was sealed here by someone.
And I am the key to breaking the seal!
"Let's go. Now that it's your home, there's even less to be afraid of!"
I patted Lao Dao on the shoulder, preparing to go over with him.
Just like at the beginning, Lao Dao was so scared that he wet himself.
"Don't worry! Just hold on to me!"
I could tell that Lao Dao was still a little scared, so I had him hold on to me tightly to give him a little sense of security.
After Lao Dao grabbed me, I took the Thunderstrike Sword and swept it forward as fast as I could. As soon as I took my first step, the surrounding mist began to spread.
"Old Dao, remember what I said: never let go, or you'll die!"
I felt a strong sense of pressure, and I coldly gave Lao Dao a few instructions.
Old Dao still has a sliver of hope if he stays with me; we can still break through.
If it lets go, we'll all have to look after ourselves. By then, even if it wants to run away, it probably won't be in time.
Old Dao nodded forcefully, gripping me even tighter.
Just then, the fog began to dissipate on one of the tombstones, and I saw a familiar figure.
"Ant, it's you!"
I blurted it out.
Because this person is the ant I met before, and it was the ant that brought me to Lao Dao.
On the very day they were looking for Lao Dao, Ant suddenly disappeared and they were never contacted again.
I didn't take it seriously at first, until I saw him here today.
The ants are now completely entwined with dark vines, and their bodies are permeated with deathly energy.
His face turned pale and weak, as if he had overdosed.
Nowadays, ants look no different from skeletons, except for a little bit of flesh on their faces.
"Ant, you bastard, where were you before?!"
When Lao Dao saw the ant, he rushed over to find it, but the ant couldn't hear him at all.
"Calm down, let me check if this is an illusion!"
I waved to stop Lao Dao from leaving me, then closed my eyes and used my third eye to sense the person in front of me.
To my surprise, the ant wasn't a hallucination.
He was a living, breathing person, although the life force within him had diminished, but a tiny bit of it still remained.
"The ants must be bound by something, that's why they can't see us!"
I turned around and explained to Lao Dao.
"What should we do, Brother Chen? Let's hurry up and leave. Life and death are in the hands of fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. We can't worry about that now!"
Old Dao pulled me aside and asked.
I nodded. I didn't have that kind of sympathy. I wasn't very familiar with the ant, and there was no need for me to risk my life to save it.
Just as I was about to leave, my lightning sword communicated with me.
"That person, Master, possesses the aura of the Great Dao!"
The lightning sword emitted a slight sound, reminding me that something unusual was amiss with the ants.
I turned around abruptly and observed the ants, but I really couldn't find anything unusual about them.
But upon closer inspection, it does seem to have a slightly unusual quality.
I could sense a faint, eerie energy in the ant's abdomen.
I stared at the ant; perhaps this was the aura of the Great Dao that Lei Jijian had mentioned!
Actually, when I first heard this aura of the Great Dao, I was completely dumbfounded. Isn't this something from a novel?
"Brother Chen, let's go! The fog's starting up again, and I feel it's getting dangerous!"
The tremor in Lao Dao's voice showed that he was truly terrified.
I ignored Lao Dao and pulled him over, using my other hand to gently pry the ants apart with the sword.
The black vines binding you will automatically disperse when they encounter my lightning sword.
"Brother Chen, this doesn't seem like your style. Has your Earth Soul returned?"
Old Dao looked at me with a puzzled expression, then threw out a question.
I was momentarily stunned. I didn't know whether I saved the ant because of the aura of the Great Dao emanating from it, or because I felt a little pity for it.
But since arriving in Shenwu County, those emotions that weren't originally mine have started to surface.
It's tiny, but I know it exists.
"Just now, Lei Jijian told me that the ant retains the aura of the Great Dao!"
I don't know what this is, but it's amazing!
I gave a brief explanation, and then used the lightning sword to continuously clear away the black vines.
Finally, after all the vines disappeared, the ant's aura began to return a little.
"Old Dao, give this to him!"
I pulled a small bottle out of my pocket; there was still some of Old Knife's blood left inside.
Old Dao's blood can actually replenish energy.
The ants' vital signs are too weak now, so we have to use this method to replenish them.
Old Dao's lips twitched, but he still couldn't help but take the bottle and carefully approach the ant, feeding it to it.
Through my divine eye, I could clearly sense that after he took it, the energy in his abdomen began to strengthen a little.
It really worked!
Old Dao's blood is indeed a treasure; it can even enhance something like this, which I never expected.
As time went by, Ant's complexion improved significantly. When he saw me, he called out, "Brother Chen."
