Chapter 785 - : Valley of No Return (1/2)

“Is this person… a devil?” Butterfly looked at Zhou Wen and felt a chill run down her spine.

They had painstakingly come here to sign a contract with the Guardian and obtain greater strength.

As for Zhou Wen, he had chopped off the Guardian’s head with one palm. Although they knew that this person wasn’t an enemy, the difference in strength still left them in despair. They even trembled in body and mind.

Li Mobai didn’t think so. His eyes burned as he stared intently at Zhou Wen as though he had discovered new land.

So this is a possible route? Li Mobai felt as though a ball of fire was burning in his body.

There was no fire in Zhou Wen’s body, but as the Guardian’s body disintegrated and vanished, energy surged into his body, causing Slaughterer Life Soul to automatically switch over. After absorbing the energy, it became stronger.

To Zhou Wen’s disappointment, although Slaughterer became stronger, it didn’t advance to a Perfect Body even after the energy was completely absorbed.

How many Guardians do I have to kill to advance Slaughterer to a Perfect Body? Zhou Wen sighed inwardly.

Li Mobai, Gu Shanshui, and company had already returned. Zhou Wen said, “Sorry for not giving you guys an attempt.”

Li Mobai smiled and said, “It’s fine. It’s not important. If it’s convenient, can you tell me why you killed the Guardian? Why didn’t you sign a contract with him?”

“There’s no need for a contract.” Zhou Wen couldn’t explain too much.

“That’s right. You really don’t need it anymore,” Li Mobai said.

Butterfly, Gu Lou, and company felt that Zhou Wen’s words were too arrogant, but when they recalled the scene of the Guardian’s head falling, they felt powerless at refuting him.

“Since we’re already here, why don’t we take a look at the entrance of the Valley of No Return?” Zhou Wen was still wondering if he could find the tiny palm symbol there. With the Valley of No Return, he would have a place to grind for Gu-type Companion Beasts in the future.

“Alright. With you around, the Valley of No Return shouldn’t be able to do much to us. It’s good to broaden our horizons,” Li Mobai said with a smile.

“I’m just taking a look outside. I don’t plan on entering.” Zhou Wen shook his head.

Although he had the chick that could suppress Gu, the chick hadn’t grown up yet. If there were too many Gu, it wouldn’t be able to deal with all of them. Or perhaps there were Gu that weren’t afraid of the chick. If they were to come to blows, the chick might not be able to defeat a Mythical Gu.

Zhou Wen was very surprised that the chick could kill those Mythical Gu. He didn’t know if the chick’s noble phoenix bloodline was working or if it had some special power.

Furthermore, after delivering Immortal Slaying, Zhou Wen’s strength had been drained. His body was still in a weakened state. Although he wasn’t as miserable as when he used the Immortal Slaying skill in the past, his combat strength was now greatly affected. Zhou Wen didn’t wish to take the risk at such a time.

The group left the underground cave and arrived at the periphery of the Valley of No Return.

Zhou Wen saw that the valley was stacked layer by layer. There was a valley in a valley, but he didn’t know how big the space was. However, he had heard from locals like Gu Shanshui most people who entered the Valley of No Return never returned. It was what gave it its name.

However, it wasn’t that no one returned alive. There were still exceptions. However, those people didn’t venture deep into the valley. Most of them only circled around the valley entrance before coming out.

Zhou Wen only wanted to circle around the valley’s entrance to find the tiny palm symbol, but he had no intention of entering.
