Chapter 444 - Chapter 444: Chapter 141: The 6 Rules of Survival in the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm (2/2)

lin jing’s expression was solemn as he looked directly at qi yuanshu and said,

“how do you plan to send this message out?”

qi yuanshu began to speak:

“using spiritual power, of course…”

but at this point, qi yuanshu suddenly stiffened and said no more.

obviously, transmitting the message was not going to be easy.

if one wanted to send a message, they would have to use spiritual power and cause a great commotion.

and this commotion would, at the same time, attract the blood corpses…

lin jing then said,

“this matter is beyond our control; neither of us knew the situation here before we set off.”

“now that night is about to fall, we better hurry and find a place to hide!”

qi yuanshu nodded and said,

“brother lin…”

“i understand.”

lin jing nodded, then continued,

“next, we should separate and each look for a cave to hide in.”

“by the way…”

“daoyou qi, do you have any black crystals?”

qi yuanshu took out several black crystals, showed them to lin jing for a moment, and said,

“i picked up some when we passed by the riverbed; i never expected they would come in handy now…”

lin jing nodded and replied,

“good, that’s good…”

then, lin jing cupped his fist towards qi yuanshu and said,

“daoyou qi, i take my leave…”

qi yuanshu also cupped his fist towards lin jing and said,

“brother lin, let’s meet again tomorrow…”

lin jing nodded and then immediately left the place.

……

soon after his departure, lin jing found a mountain peak, and halfway up, he discovered a cave that was not very deep.

the cave was also blood red but relatively dry, and within its rocky walls were occasional black shards mixed among the red stones.

by this time, there was only a sliver of light left in the sky.

without any hesitation, lin jing took out the large black stones he had collected on the way here from the space ring and placed them at the entrance of the cave.

even more,

lin jing specifically fortified them before he felt at ease.

although he could have entered the system space directly, lin jing wanted to understand the specific situation of the devouring spirit blood realm.

so, for now, he was not in a rush to enter the system space, reasoning that it wouldn’t be too late after he had a grasp of the situation here.

……

next,

lin jing sat down cross-legged inside the cave.

he waited for the situation described by the black-robed elder to occur.

thus, lin jing sat there in the cave.

for nearly more than an hour, nothing happened.

just as lin jing started to wonder if the black-robed elder had deceived him…

suddenly!

lin jing heard rustling sounds coming from outside the cave.

immediately, he opened his eyes and became alert.

maybe it was due to the cold of the night, but the inside of the cave was unnaturally cold…

if not for lin jing’s impressive body cultivation, he would probably have had to use spiritual power just to withstand the chill.

if this was the case every night, and those cultivators without body cultivation had to spend a significant amount of spiritual power daily,

wouldn’t they exhaust their spiritual power and end up as walking corpses?

thinking of this, lin jing felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.

in this place, if a way out wasn’t found soon, it was likely that no one would survive in the end.

……

at that moment, the rustling noise stopped, but suddenly a voice came from outside the cave,

a voice very familiar to lin jing…

“lin daoyou, everything that black-robed old man said was false; we’ve been deceived. there’s nothing out here, you can come out and see for yourself…”

the voice was qi yuanshu’s.

hearing this voice, lin jing got up confusedly and started to head towards the entrance of the cave…

…

…

however, just as lin jing stood up, he was suddenly taken aback…

he quickly realized something wasn’t right.

he didn’t even understand why he felt the urge to walk out of the cave.

it seemed that there was something about the voice that could bewitch and sway the heart.

lin jing then concentrated his divine sense and instantly found a strange divine presence affecting his thoughts.

he snorted coldly and gathered his divine sense to dispel the influence of that divine presence.

just then, the voice outside spoke again,

“lin daoyou, has something happened?”

then, a few “thud thud thud” sounds followed,

as if something was knocking against the black stones.

“brother lin, are you there?”

“if you don’t speak up, i’m going to come in…”
