Chapter 91 Ancient Well Coordinates and "Other Injuries" Priority
Ancient Well Coordinates and "Other Injuries" Priority
With the help of the young shoots of Jianmu, Jiang Xuelan and Li Jiuyou barely maintained the suppression of the seal fragments, but everyone understood that this was only a temporary measure.
"It's not a solution to go on like this." Jiang Xuelan analyzed calmly, his eyes sweeping over the fragments and the surrounding environment, "We can't stay here for long. We must go to the ancient well of Wangchuanwu as soon as possible." Shi Yan's blood-written map and the letter left by his master both pointed there. The sudden appearance of the fragments of the divine blood seal further intensified the sense of urgency.
"Do you know where that ghost well is?" Li Jiuyou asked with a frown. The continuous output of power made his face pale, and his old injuries ached slightly.
Jiang Xuelan took out the inner lining with the words "I am guilty" written in blood from his bosom and unfolded the last page of the map. The location of "Ancient Well East of the Village" marked on the map was very vague, with only a general direction.
"I have a rough direction, but the exact location..." Jiang Xuelan frowned slightly. Wangchuan Valley had long since been reduced to scorched earth, and the terrain had shifted. It was difficult to pinpoint its location with just a crude map.
At this moment, the temporarily suppressed fragment of the divine blood seal seemed to sense something (perhaps the obsession of Shi Yan remaining on the map, or perhaps the aura of Jiang Xuelan's divine blood), and trembled slightly again!
The dark red runes on the fragments flowed faster, and an extremely faint thought, filled with sadness and guidance, emanated again. This time, it was clearer than before:
"... the well... under the Mother Tree..."
Jiang Xuelan and Li Jiuyou were both stunned!
Jiang Xuelan immediately thought of the mural and the huge "Xirang Sacred Tree" in his memory! The people of Shencun respectfully called the Xirang Sacred Tree the "Mother Tree"!
Li Jiuyou also vaguely remembered that his brother Feng Ye seemed to have mentioned that there was an ancient tree in Shen Village that was called the source of life...
"Mother Tree...refers to the Xirang Sacred Tree?" Jiang Xuelan looked at Li Jiuyou for confirmation.
"It seems... right?" Li Jiuyou looked away uncomfortably, "I can't remember it!" Jiang Xuelan could feel that the other party was not completely unable to remember, but was avoiding the issue in an unwillingness to delve into it.
With the key information of "under the mother tree", combined with the approximate location of the map, the scope of searching for the ancient well is narrowed a lot!
However, a new problem arose - how to leave this cave? The entrance to the crack above his head had been sealed by Li Jiuyou, and those strange black tentacles were still lurking outside.
"There must be another way." Xuanjia slowly crawled over, the lines on his shell glowing faintly in a certain direction of the cave. "Master Turtle, I feel a faint air current over there... and it carries a slight... smell of water vapor and earth."
Everyone looked in the direction indicated by Xuanjia. That was the direction where the roots of the sacred tree extended deep into the rock wall. It was entangled by thick glowing moss and roots, and it looked like a dead end.
Li Jiuyou was a little impatient: "No matter whether there is a way or not, we will know if we blast it open!" As he said that, he was about to condense the demonic fire.
"No!" Jiang Xuelan stopped him immediately. "The energy balance here is fragile. Forcible bombardment may cause changes. Besides, you..." He glanced at Li Jiu's pale face and the sweat on his forehead. "Be more restrained. Your old injuries have not healed yet. Don't be so stubborn."
When these words were spoken, not only Li Jiuyou was stunned, but even A Che and Man Gu looked over in surprise.
Jiang Xianjun...are you concerned about their king?
Li Jiuyou was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his fur instantly stood up: "Who, who is trying to be stubborn! I'm fine! There's no need for you to pretend to be kind!" Jiang Xuelan could clearly feel the guilty conscience that flashed across the other party's face for a moment, and a trace of... extremely faint, awkward feeling of being cared for?
Jiang Xuelan had no expression on his face: "It's not that I'm concerned about you. If you fall, the blood contract will backfire and it will be of no benefit to me." It was a standard icy explanation, but what he blurted out just now had already revealed something.
Li Jiuyou felt an even stronger sense of irritation, but strangely, he did not refute.
Xingtong's lips curled up: "Oh~hard on the outside but soft on the inside~"
Xuan Jia tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, finding the way is more important. Jiang kid is right, we can't force it. Let A Che try, Jianmu seedlings are the most sensitive to life energy."
Ah Che nodded, holding the Jianmu sprout in his arms. He carefully walked to the rock face and closed his eyes to sense it. The sprout emitted a soft green light, seeping into the moss and roots. After a moment, Ah Che opened his eyes and pointed somewhere. "Here! The life energy flow behind it is different. It seems... there's a blocked passage!"
