Chapter 576

After such a long journey, they had finally found the location of the elixir. The three of them were excited.

Looking down at the Hengduan Mountain range, the three of them looked at each other and then jumped down!

They did not dare to fly directly, so they glided along the waterfall and slowly descended to the forest below.

After a while, they landed on the top of a mountain. A flock of white cranes on the top of the mountain flapped their wings and fled in panic.

"These white cranes are much bigger than the ones we usually see." Gu Ziyan said in surprise.

"Not only the white cranes, there are many wild beasts in this mountain range, and they are much bigger than the ones we usually see."

Gu Chen extended his divine sense and found that there were many wild beasts in the Hengduan Mountain range, such as jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards. They were three or four times the size of ordinary beasts.

Fortunately, although these wild beasts were huge, there were not many of them with high cultivation, so they did not cause much trouble for the three of them.

The three of them entered the mountain and headed towards the gourd-shaped mountain peak. This was the first time they deviated from the route on the map.

They carefully memorized the correct route in case they encountered unpredictable situations and could retreat in time.

Because they did not have the directions on the map, the three of them became more cautious and slowed down.

There were roars of beasts everywhere in the Hengduan Mountain range. On the way, they encountered several waves of attacks from demonic beasts, but they were all dealt with smoothly.

After half a day, they finally arrived at their destination!

The gourd-shaped mountain peak was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. Halfway down the mountain, there were many green bamboos planted, which was very beautiful.

Halfway up the mountain, there were all kinds of oddly-shaped rocks. Not even a blade of grass grew there, and it was completely barren.

At the top of the mountain, there seemed to be a stalactite cave, which looked like a different world.

"Is this the place?"

Gu Chen raised his head and looked at the peak of the mountain. His pupils had turned completely purple.

With his super eyesight, he could see almost everything at the top of the mountain. There was not a single living thing there, so it did not seem like there was any elixir hidden there.

Although half of the mountain was lush and full of vitality, no wild beasts dared to step into it. He specially observed and found that even the white cranes in the sky would deliberately avoid this place when passing by.

"It should be right. The landform here is not much different from the records of our ancestors." Gu Ziyan looked around and replied.

"There are a lot of restrictions in this bamboo forest. Everyone, be careful."

Gu Shenming flicked his finger and shot a beam of golden light into the forest, but it disappeared without a trace.

"Let's go up the mountain!" Gu Chen led the way into the forest.

According to the agreement between the three of them, any troubles they encountered along the way would be handled by the two of them as much as possible. However, the restriction around the elixir would be broken by Gu Chen.

Gu Chen didn't know what kind of restriction it was that could stop the ancestors of the Gu Clan. Only by breaking through it would he be able to find out.

When the three of them stepped into the bamboo forest, the forest immediately changed.

Be it the surrounding bamboos or the grass on the ground, the entire mountain seemed to have come to life. Countless plants swept towards the three of them.

This scene made Gu Chen feel as if he had returned to the Desolate God Valley. He could not help but look at White Ape.

"Jiji!"

Seeing this, White Ape flipped his hand and took out the Rainbow Tree. Swish, swish, swish.

Instantly, the vitality of the plants on the mountain was drawn over and devoured by the Rainbow Tree. Be it the bamboo forest or the grass, they all withered and died!

Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming were shocked by such an overbearing power. "What a good treasure!"

Under the power of the Rainbow Tree, the plants on the mountain turned into ashes. The original restriction seemed to have been broken in an instant.

At this time.

"Ying —"

A strange cry was heard. A black shadow ran through the withered forest, turned into a beam of light, and went up the mountain.

"What is that?"

The three of them were shocked. They did not notice the black shadow hiding in the bamboo forest until all the plants withered and it lost its hiding place. Only then did it run away in a panic.

Everyone chased it to the place where it had just escaped. A faint medicinal fragrance filled their noses.

"Could that be the legendary elixir that can grow legs?"

Gu Ziyan blurted out with a happy expression.

"I'm afraid it's possible."

Gu Chen's eyes lit up. Just now, the Rainbow Tree had taken away the vitality of the mountain. Obviously, the black shadow had been careless and let out a few wisps of medicinal fragrance.

Apart from the legendary elixir, he couldn't think of anything else that could emit medicinal fragrance.

"Let's go! Chase after it! "

Because of the strength of the Rainbow Tree, the Green Wood Restriction on the mountain was broken almost instantly. The three of them quickly followed the direction of the medicinal fragrance.

They quickly passed through the bamboo forest and went up the mountain.

"What's going on?"

Originally, after passing through the bamboo forest, they should be halfway up the mountain. However, the three of them found that they had somehow returned to the foot of the mountain!

In front of them, the original green bamboo forest was gone. It was not the scene that had just been ravaged by the Rainbow Tree. In front of them, there was a mountain forest shrouded in mist!

The upper part of the mountain was the same as before, bare and full of odd-shaped black rocks. However, the lower part had changed greatly.

"Are we still at the original place?"

Gu Shenming frowned and couldn't help but ask.

"Let's go in and see."

Gu Chen was deep in thought as he stepped into the mountain forest shrouded in mist.

This mountain forest was different from the bamboo forest from before. The ground was covered with thick piles of rotten leaves. When they stepped on it, they would sink into the mud.

There were swamps everywhere in front of them. It was very difficult to walk. The swamps were also filled with poisonous miasma.

It was obvious that the foot of the mountain was completely different from before. There were no traces of them before.

"Gua gua! Gua gua! "

Suddenly, golden toads emerged from the swamps. Each toad had nine eyes.

They swarmed out of the swamps. The countless eyes on their bodies stared at Gu Chen and the others. The three of them were actually in a trance.

"Be careful, these demon toads can use spiritual attacks!"

Gu Chen quickly came back to his senses. His eyes turned cold. A blazing sun appeared in his palm and he pressed it into the swamps!

Boom —

Under the high temperature of the flames, the toads were all vaporized. However, the forest was filled with a poisonous gas.

"Disperse!"

Gu Chen flicked his sleeves, and a tornado rose up in the forest, sweeping away all the poisonous smoke. Finally, the road ahead became clear.

They spent a lot of effort to walk out of the swamps. They saw a creature that looked like a sika deer squatting in the distance. It was looking at them with big curious eyes.

The sika deer's body was somewhat illusory. When the white ape saw it, it gulped and rushed out!

Hum —

It suddenly disappeared in front of them. Gu Chen's expression changed.

"Little guy!"

He followed. His vision blurred and he found himself at the foot of the mountain again!

The white ape was in front of him. It rubbed its eyes in confusion as if it couldn't understand the situation in front of it.
