Chapter 2: Ruins
Luo Jie asked, “Yesterday, Li Ran said so, do you remember what it was?”
12th laughed and replied, “Master, Brother Li said s yesterday, couldn’t you be a littleabout the hunters…… do you?” He suddenly remembered that Qi Nan Shan said that his Master was very worried; he must’ve been worried about the journey they were about toabout it a bit, he understood just what his Master orried about
Luo Jie couldn’t help but shake his head, saying, “Oh 12th, you are too suessed this accurately”
12th waved his hand ht”
“Little Demon!” Qi Nan Shan quietly mumbled
Luo Jie said, “What do you think 12th? I don’t think Li Ran would lie to us so I don’t dispute the credibility of this infor those hunters are, and if they are stronger than us then we’ll be walking into a death trap, if we’re about even or if they’re weaker than us then it should be worth us continuing exploring”
12th replied, “There is a possibility that we’re stronger than them, but most likely they are more powerful than us”
Qi Nan Shan said, “We’ve already coo back”
Indeed, like Qi Nan Shan, Luo Jie clearly didn’t want to go back, for the Mysterious Lands were not easy to enter and even though they had Fu Doors now, the only location recorded on it was this Mysterious Land They also didn’t have the location of their hoed to leave the Mysterious Land and only upon returning to their home could they record the location onto the Fu Door, so even if they wanted to return ho to stay in one place and not do anything, so the only choice was to press on
As such, Luo Jie made his decision quickly, “We’ll continue, but be careful, try to hide from the hunters and if we do encounter them, don’t hesitate, kill them immediately! We must not allow our presence to be known lest they start hunting us” He said with a ferocious killing intentHe illing to kill for the group’s safety
Qi Nan Shan called out, “Alright, gather round!”
12th said, “Master, we need to find so like this is too slow”
Luo Jie replied, “Yeah, at the speed we’re going, it would be too exhausting”
The group of 25 people gathered quickly, Qi Nan SHan said, “Luo Zhan, take two people to scout ahead, if you see people don’t do anything, return immediately”
Luo Zhan nodded and took two people ahead
……
What was ahead was a seele and under the sunlight, it produced rainbows Countless birds were flying overhead with their bird calls Occasionally, a strange growl emanated froave this forest quite an eerie and ominous atmosphere
Luo Zhan and his coe of the forest, he announced, “That forest is not safe!”
Qi Nan Shan’s expression was grave, he said, “We don’t knohat’s in there, Elder, I have a bad feeling about this, it’s as if this forest will be rave”
Luo Jie said, “Bullshi+t! We’ll be careful, you give the orders 12th, you and your co bad will happen”
12th has a strong feeling of danger present, he said, “Master, I know” as he said to his four companions, “Everyone, follow us closely, don’t be stupid, under no circumstances must we distract the Masters”
Huo Bao said, “We can help too!”
12th said, “Lil Bao, now is the worst ti like that, we can’t help, and we ot it? We are far too weak to help theive!”
Luo Jie slightly nodded, 12th was very wise, and he was not wrong, not distracting them was the best help they can offer
“Listen to 12th’s orders! Your jobs are simple, and that’s to protect 12th, you don’t need to worry about anything else, the rest is for us old people to handle”
Luo Zhan and the other two Fu Warriors had already entered the forest, they had a good coet lost Qi Nan Shan called, “Forht, I’ll lead, the Elder and 12th’s group go in the ht everyone, liven up! Let’s go!”
Luo Jie told 12th’s group, “Follow me, don’t fall behind”
The jungle was hu smell of decay in the air 12th held a Fu Knife, occasionally brushi+ng past branches and weeds After about ten minutes into the forest he encountered a pair of poisonous snakes, which were promptly cut in pieces by his Fu Knife
Next to hiifted by the Great Zhou Master, Wu Qi Rong, they could be used to search and scout ahead, because the Fu that commanded the the two dogs following had it’s benefits, they were the ones who noticed the snakes
Everyone sloaded through the jungle, 12th could barely see the sky above them, which was basically completely covered by trees, as the tes cas Everyone bore the heat and proceeded without complaint, at a place like this, nobody wanted to speak, they only want to get through this frightful forest quickly
Qi Nan Shan suddenly raised his arm, and everyone immediately stopped,The heat felt more unbearable than ever at that moment 12th looked like he’d taken a shower, it was his first tie, it was even worse than a sauna Luo Jie was as usual, he had his Innate Fu protecting him, so he doesn’t feel the heat at all
Even though 12th had his Innate Fu, it had not forh Fu to turn it into an Innate Fu Orb, and so there weren’t h the immense heat
A Fu Warrior quickly returned to Qi Nan Shan’s side, whispered sonalled to every to follow After about half an hour of walking, everyone’s eyes glittered They had suddenly walked out of the eerie jungle, and could feel the cool breeze and fresh air, the feeling was very indulgent
Before therow, only small bushes, so they could see the sky This place was a ruin, the s had already collapsed, only a very s and not too far aas a small stream which flowed around the ruins
“These are ruins? What kind of people left this behind?”
Luo Jie shook his head saying, “I don’t know, but we’ll rest here for a few days and while we’re at it, we’ll look around this place to see if we can find anything good Ruins like this are usually here because of a civilization dying out, sost the rubble, like maybe some Fu left behind from the people of this place…… It’s up to luck now really, we ht even be able to find a Spirit Fu or Ancient Fu”
Qi Nan Shan called, “You see that stone coluather at that stone column by dusk, we’ll camp there” He then also called, “A few of you co! Luo Zhan you are on protection detail for the Elder!”
12th ser here, let us five forroup and look around too”
Luo Jie said, “Xiao Feng, go with 12th’s group Luo Zhan, let’s go to that stone column”
12th cheered, calling, “Uncle Feng, everyone, let’s go, hehe, let’s go that way!” as he walked to the left ast the rubble
Everyone formed a line and disappeared into the ruins
These ruins were big, about the size of 12th’s city frost the ruins so they lost sight of each other
12th had already seen a building that hadn’t collapsed yet, it was a two storey stone house under the shade of a giant tree that was in front of it, at a cursory glance, it was easy to miss
The road disappeared and all that was left was rubble, it gave way to overgrown grass, shrubbery and weeds, 12th and his company had to use Fu Knives to cut a path as they slowly made their way forward
The road wasn’t long, and because the stone house was right next to the edge of the forest, it was very easy to miss
Chen Hong was following behind 12th, relentlesslyto smell, Oh, I need to bathe…… This bloody place is too hot……” Occasionally she’d catch herself speaking aloud so she lowered her voice, but 12th’s hearing was very good, he could hear it clearly and couldn’t help but say, “Stop nagging…… the more you repeat yourself the hotter it is……”
At that, Chen Hong immediately blushed, afraid to speak, so she closed her mouth and didn’t speak anymore
After walking for about half an hour, the six of theiant tree practically half e it’d been alive for It was cool and refreshi+ng in the shade of the tree This building was very ancient, the walls were overgroith vines, not only the walls but the vines have grown into the building and covered a lot of the interior too
Huo Bao cheered as he ran inside, only for 12th to catch hi so excited! Don’t just abruptly sprint ahead!”
Huo Bao unbelieving, asked, “12th, when did you get so strong?”
12th curiously asked, “I’ around”
Huo Bao shook his head, he was trying to figure out how he got pulled back by 12th, saying, “12th, you really have gotten a lot stronger…… never ahead to take a look, I’ll be careful!” 12th brought out his Fu Knife and said, “Wait foroff!”
Xiao Feng only watched with a smirk on his face, he didn’t have to intervene, he knew to let the kids grow by themselves, if they needed help out of every situation then it would be impossible for them to mature
Not long after, Huo Bao walked out, with an expression full of disappoint inside, it’s empty”
12th so in and have another look”
