Chapter 575

The Forest of Whispers was shrouded in a faint mist, and it was as quiet as a dead land. Only the occasional rustling of the trees could be heard.

The three of them spread out their divine senses and walked cautiously in the forest.

Flying was not allowed in this mystic realm. It was said that flying at a low altitude would attract unknown dangers, and flying at a higher altitude would cause one to be torn apart by the storms in the sky. Even Grotto-Heaven Realm experts were no exception.

Therefore, the three of them could only walk on foot in the complicated terrain. They could not speed up.

Many places in the Forest of Whispers were filled with blood-red flowers, and some of them even bore fruits that looked valuable.

However, the flowers and fruits were not on their path. The three of them suppressed the thought of plucking them and hurried past.

This made things difficult for the white ape. It lay on Gu Chen's shoulder and drooled at the flowers and fruits, but it could not even touch a leaf.

"Woo …"

Just as they were about to leave the Forest of Whispers, the surrounding mist suddenly thickened. Strange shadows swayed in the mist and came from all directions, as if they were going to surround Gu Chen and the other two.

The shadows were heavy, and the three of them were on guard.

"Don't worry about those unknown existences. They won't really come close. Our ancestors said that these things only want to scare us and make us run around in panic.

If we get separated and deviate from the correct path, we will be lost in the Forest of Whispers forever, "Gu Ziyan reminded them nervously.

Clearly, she had done a lot of homework before entering the mystic realm.

However, knowing was one thing. Seeing the group of ghosts so close, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, one could not help but have the urge to escape.

Fortunately, the three of them were skilled and daring. They braced themselves and continued to move forward under the encirclement of the ghosts. After a while, they finally walked out of the Forest of Whispers.

In front of them was a flat and open grassland. Behind them, the ghosts in the mist retreated and no longer followed them. The three of them heaved a sigh of relief.

It was just a forest at the starting point, but it was so creepy!

"There's a huge rock in the east. Let's go straight there."

Gu Shenming took out a map and pointed to a rock that was as tall as a mountain in the distance.

At this time, the night had gradually passed. It was dawn, and the east was turning white.

Gu Chen's Purple Polar Eyes lit up habitually, absorbing the purple energy that came from the east as the sun rose.

Strangely, the purple Qi absorbed in this place was much denser than usual.

"Just where is this place? It's different from other secret grounds."

Gu Chen muttered to himself. Be it the Kunlun Continent or the Immortal Spirit Continent, the gravity and celestial phenomena did not give him such a feeling.

The world of nine suns and nine moons in the Time Stone was more similar to this place. The astronomical phenomena there were also abnormal, but the two were clearly different.

The three of them faced the rising sun and began to advance on the grassland. The sky gradually brightened. With Gu Chen's powerful eyesight, he could easily see the scene hundreds of miles away.

He looked to the north and saw a huge black skeleton of a strange beast. The skeleton was probably tens of thousands of feet long, and it looked like a strange building on the grassland.

It was unknown how long the skeleton had existed, but many parts of it had been weathered. There were actually many nests built under the pelvis, and countless killer bees swarmed around in them. It was a chilling sight.

The scenery in the north was frightening. Gu Chen looked to the south and saw huge pits. He did not know how they were formed, but the grassland was riddled with holes.

He looked carefully and could see many rusted and damaged weapons along the way. There were also many knife marks and arrow holes on the ground. It was unknown how many tens of thousands of years had passed, but they still existed. The longer he looked at them, the more he felt an indescribable sadness.

"This is like an ancient battlefield," Gu Chen muttered.

He had thought that the Gu Clan's ancestral land was just the Gu Clan's own ancestral land, but looking at the situation in this secret ground, it was probably not so.

"Zhizhi! Zhizhi! "

The white ape's heart-wrenching cries could be heard. The little guy had a strange ability to sense treasures, and it seemed to sense that there were treasures everywhere in the grassland.

However, it could also sense some unknown dangers. It could only stare into the distance, its two arms hanging on Gu Chen's back. Its body swayed, and it looked like it had nothing left to live for.

Several hours later, the three of them finally arrived at the huge rock, and found that it was actually a strange statue of a giant.

There was a human face carved on the stone, and it looked very lifelike. What made people shudder was that the eyes of the statue were constantly bleeding.

The blood was dark red and thick, and it constantly dripped onto the ground. Over time, it actually formed a dark red river of blood around the huge stone statue, and its murderous aura was monstrous.

"The stone can actually bleed. Is it alive? Now I no longer have any doubts about the elixir growing legs and running away. "

Gu Shenming saw this scene and smiled bitterly.

Along the way, there were many things in this secret ground that they could not understand.

"With this stone statue as the center, go south for about two days, and you will see the Hengduan Mountain Range. The elixir we are looking for is located in the Hengduan Mountain Range. After passing through the Hengduan Mountain Range, we will reach the ancestral land of our tribe. "

Gu Ziyan looked at the map and analyzed. Because the stone statue was really strange, and the river of blood was even more uncomfortable, the three of them did not stop and continued forward.

Two days passed quickly. Along the way, the three of them saw many strange and incomprehensible phenomena, and they forcibly resisted the greed that arose many times along the way.

They saw many treasures, some were rare ores in the Immortal Spirit Continent, and some were medicinal herbs that had grown for tens of thousands of years or even longer.

However, these things were not as important as the elixir and the opportunity of the ancestral land. After calming down, the three of them gave up the risk.

"We have been walking for two days. Where is the Hengduan Mountain Range?"

The three of them walked for two days, and were still in an endless flat area. Logically speaking, if there was a mountain range in front of them, they should be able to see it by now, but in fact, there was not even a shadow in front of them.

This made the three of them wonder if they had taken the wrong path. If so, there would be a big problem!

"Let's go forward and see."

Gu Chen said solemnly, and the three of them sped up.

Not long after, there was a loud sound of water flowing in front of them. Gu Chen's heart moved. "That is …"

His pupils shrank slightly, and he sped up again. Soon, he saw a scene that he would never forget.

At the end of the grassland, there was a huge waterfall below!

They were upstream of the waterfall. The waterfall seemed to cut off the sky, and the water flowed three thousand feet straight down.

And below the waterfall was a huge mountain range, where the vegetation was lush, and the sounds of tigers and apes were endless. There were also huge strange birds flying in the sky!

"No wonder it is called the Hengduan Mountain Range! The terrain here is too strange! "

Gu Shenming was speechless. Who would have thought that the mountain was not above, but below? This Ninth Heaven Waterfall was too spectacular.

"There! The gourd-shaped mountain below is our destination, the location of the elixir! "
